Chapter 2203: Chapter 2203: Great General, Holding Heavy Troops

Being beaten to the point where he couldn’t get up was already humiliating enough, and now he was being scolded by some little brat—he was so angry that he wanted to jump up and smite the brat with a slap!

Unfortunately, with those two standing there in front of him, he didn’t dare, nor could he manage it.

“Such a small study, yet it’s stuffed with so many things.”

While General Ning was still sulking at Little Nuonuo, An Jiuyue retrieved yet another item from a hidden compartment in the corner.

“Treasure!”

Little Nuonuo’s large eyes glimmered with excitement again.

It was another chest—this time wooden—but just as exquisite as the previous one.

“Ha.”

An Jiuyue chuckled lightly. When it came to her treasure-loving son, she truly didn’t know what to say anymore.

“This time, it actually is a treasure. Judging by its aura, it must have been taken from within the Duo Hidden Stone Space.”

She summoned a Paper Person, instructing it to carry the half-acre-high chest to the desk. Once the chest was opened, what lay inside were multicolored Hidden Core Spirit Stones, each brimming with demonic energy.

“So many Hidden Core Spirit Stones—it’s far richer than the treasury of the Central Imperial Country.”

Hidden Core Spirit Stones were а prime resource for replenishing demonic energy, originating only from the Yiinn Stone Space within the Plant Plane. As far as she knew, these stones were exceedingly rare in the treasuries of any nation.

To find a half-acre-high chest filled with them in General Ning’s study—an entire chest of treasures—was simply astonishing.

How many raids upon the Yiinn Stone Space must it have taken to amass such grotesque wealth? She didn’t even want to imagine what the Yiinn Stone Space had looked like the last time it had been plundered.

Fortunately, these resources regenerate after being taken; otherwise, Ning General might have utterly ruined the Yiinn Stone Space by now.

“These are mine!”

General Ning’s eyes burned crimson when he saw An Jiuyue unearth his entire fortune.

“Yours?”

An Jiuyue let out a sardonic laugh and looked his way.

“Just based on you, a mere general? How did you manage to acquire these Hidden Core Spirit Stones? Do you truly have no idea in your own mind?”

“No matter how they came to me, they’re mine!” General Ning couldn’t care less how the stones had ended up in his possession. Whatever was in his grasp—that was his.

From the side, the deputy general cast a jealous glance at the Hidden Core Spirit Stones, but he dared not speak up.

No matter how rare the treasure, one still needed their life to actually enjoy it. If he lost his life, what good would any of these treasures be? Leaving them for descendants? Forget it.

“You’re all heading out soon—why worry so much about a few petty treasures?” An Jiuyue smirked faintly and asked him.

“You…”

General Ning’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he stared at An Jiuyue in horror.

“You’re going to kill me?”

“What’s wrong? You can’t tell? Even faced with something so obvious, you still don’t get it?” An Jiuyue couldn’t help but be amused. Their intent to kill this man couldn’t be clearer.

They were already planning to assassinate Emperor Zhong, so why would they spare a meddlesome general? Keep him around to stir up trouble for the new emperor? Ridiculous.

“You… You…”

General Ning’s lips trembled, unable to string together a coherent sentence.

They weren’t bluffing—they truly intended to kill him. But why? He was the great general of the Central Imperial Country—the very figure the people’s safety depended upon.

“You wouldn’t dare! I am a great general, wielding vast military power. If you act against me, the citizens of the Central Imperial Country will never forgive you!”
