Chapter 3369: She Deserved the Benefits That Came with It

She was an embodiment of an ordinance herself, and she deserved the benefits that came with it.

Besides, these people were temporary managers in the first place.

She had worked so hard to become strong—what was it all for?

After Ah Wan’s explanation, Ning Shu understood the root of the issue.

But she wasn’t afraid at all.

If she cowered at something like this, how could she go far in the future?

Becoming strong meant having the confidence to stand her ground in everything she did, to rightfully defend her own interests, rather than being forced into a corner and retreating in grievance.

That was the meaning of strength.

That was freedom.

Ning Shu smiled and thanked Ah Wan. “So that’s how it is. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing,” Ah Wan said flatly.

The fiery red flame at her brow made her seem dazzling, like a true favored child of the heavens.

Every move she made radiated brilliance—she was truly worthy of being the strongest female task-taker.

As time passed, more and more people entered the restaurant—all of them were embodiments of ordinances.

Beyond the fundamental ordinances of Time, Space, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, there were others—such as Wind, and even the ordinance of Strength.

There were three thousand Great Daos.

Reaching the peak of any one ordinance meant stepping onto the path of the Dao.

The ordinance space was vast, and these embodiments of ordinances were the ones managing the cities.

Ning Shu sipped her drink slowly, lost in thought. Was this grand setup really just for granting her the city lord title?

Many people were eyeing her with skeptical gazes, but when they noticed the water droplet mark on her forehead, their doubts gradually faded.

Then, Ning Shu finally saw another woman.

The moment she stood there, she captured everyone’s attention.

It was the first time Ning Shu had ever seen such a beautiful woman.

Dressed in flowing red, with delicate features that could captivate a person’s soul at a glance—one’s eyes couldn’t help but follow her.

The woman in red walked toward Ning Shu and spoke in a cool, clear voice. “So, you’re the newly ascended embodiment of the water ordinance.”

“I am.” Ning Shu nodded.

“I’m Hong Yu, I specialize in charm techniques.” Hong Yu’s voice was cold as ice, carrying an air of unattainable elegance and peerless purity.

If Hong Yu hadn’t stated that she practiced charm techniques, Ning Shu wouldn’t have believed it.

There was nothing gaudy or flirtatious about Hong Yu.

Instead, she exuded the pristine beauty of a celestial maiden.

To put it in a man’s words—she was a goddess.

In their eyes, this kind of beauty was the highest form of allure.

“Hello, I’m Ning Shu.” Ning Shu was a little surprised. Beauty and charm were a form of power, just like any other strength.

It could claim lives in a moment of vulnerability.

Hong Yu nodded slightly at Ah Wan.

Ah Wan, however, said nothing and didn’t acknowledge her.

Hong Yu didn’t say anything further and found a seat to sit down.

Ning Shu sensed that Ah Wan and Hong Yu didn’t get along.

But that had nothing to do with her.

Right now, several people were staring at her, their gazes as sharp as nails.

The people in the restaurant were murmuring to each other in hushed voices as if waiting for someone.

Ning Shu didn’t know anyone here, so she simply kept drinking her beverage.

It was free anyway—why not?

Just then, someone entered the restaurant, and the crowd immediately stood up to welcome them.

Ning Shu quickly set down her drink and stood up as well.

The school doctor walked in, followed by someone carrying a tray.

His gaze swept over the room, and the light reflected off his glasses.

Everyone he glanced at felt a chill run down their spine.

“Ning Shu, step forward,” the school doctor said, taking a badge from the tray.

The badge was entirely silver-white, with a water droplet-shaped decoration in the center.
