Yes, Madam Prime Minister

This kind of hero is "Superman".

The protagonist thinks he is a superman. He has his own set of mathematical methods. He kills a bad person and then uses her money to help people in need. Undoubtedly, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

is allowed.

Even if it violates morality and law.

If even killing is unacceptable, then there are no great people in this world.

So he decided to kill someone, specifically an elderly landlady.

He firmly believed he was extraordinary and wanted to prove himself. He was also a "superman" who could transcend morality and law, and killing the old woman was the beginning of his path to greatness.

However, during this process, the protagonist miscalculated and killed an innocent good person who had wandered into the scene by mistake.

After that moment, he could no longer bear his actions, and without even opening the old woman's wallet, he took it and buried it under a large rock.

There was much more to it, but Ronan only remembered the general outline, so he casually told Lu Jianling about it.

That's how Dostoevsky's works are; the stories are simple, but long passages are filled with the characters' inner monologues.

In short, the protagonist does not feel guilty for killing the vampire, but he cannot accept that he killed an innocent person. He eventually suffers a mental breakdown and confesses his crime to the world.

"Although I am considered one of the rulers, and in the eyes of some in the West I am even considered a 'great man,' trampling on morality and law and treating human life as worthless as eating and drinking, it is laughable that I actually still have some conscience. I do not agree with rational algorithms, but I do not have any irrational true faith either. It is more of an incomplete nihilism, which makes me a 'superman'-like existence at certain moments."

"Do you understand?" Ronan asked Lu Jianling.

"I don't understand." Lu Jianling answered bluntly. Her expression wasn't blank, so it wasn't that she didn't understand Ronan's story, nor that she didn't understand its meaning. Wasn't the meaning of the story simply that killing one person makes you a thief, but slaughtering ten thousand makes you a hero? She just didn't understand what Ronan was trying to express.

Ronan took a big gulp of rice wine and continued, "What I'm about to do, let's call it a revolution, will hurt many innocent people, and afterwards, it will still be an order that suppresses the majority. Can this still be called justice? It's unjust, so who will judge me, the one who controls everything? When I was 'Superman,' I couldn't even 'judge' myself."

“If rationality means there’s nothing that can’t be done, then can rationality and what is born from rationality truly become morality, faith, and ultimately, a banner uniting humanity?” Ronan asked.

To put it simply, if concepts like the Heavenly Father and the principles of Heaven are irrational, then can the ideas born from rational materialism truly become moral beliefs and guiding principles?

Lu Jianling understood Ronan's meaning a little better: "I think life is more important than the meaning of life, and reality is more important than the meaning of reality."

“Jianling, you have great potential,” Ronan said with a smile.

"Tch, I have no interest in monks and nuns," Lu Jianling replied, taking a sip of wine.

Ronan sighed and looked at Lu Jianling, his eyes suddenly turning lecherous.

“Forget it, let’s do something fun instead,” Ronan said. “People should focus on life and reality.”

"You really are..." Lu Jianling was at a loss for words. One second they were discussing philosophy, and the next they were talking nonsense.

Ronan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you coming or not?"

Lu Jianling turned her head to the side, "Come if you want."

"I want you to give me oral sex," Ronan pleaded softly.

Lu Jianling paused for a moment, her brows furrowed in worry, then said, "Then stand up."

Ronan lowered his voice again, "I can sit or lie down. You turn to face me, kneel down, press your waist down, stick your butt out high, and while you give me oral sex, I'll play with your white stockings with my hands."

Lu Jianling's face showed a hint of annoyance. She glared at Ronan for several seconds and said, "What's going on in your head? Where do you get so much vulgar stuff?"

"A little bit of fun, Jianling. Besides, if you just give me oral sex, you won't feel comfortable," Ronan said with a grin. As long as Lu Jianling didn't directly refuse, it was equivalent to agreeing.

The long dress was taken off again and tossed aside, and even the boots were taken off and put aside. Ronan saw those straight, super long legs once again.

Her thighs were full and thick, the white stockings almost see-through, and her calves were also quite fleshy. However, because they were so long, even through the white stockings, they had a slender appearance. These thighs and calves somehow had the feel of legs in a painting—thick at the top and thin at the bottom, exuding a sensual charm. Her feet had smooth insteps and neat, slender, and beautiful toes. Despite being large feet, they didn't appear bulky at all; instead, through the white stockings, they seemed slender and graceful.

Lu Jianling knelt down to face Ronan, then lowered her head and bent over, raising her buttocks. Her white silk-clad buttocks arched up like two fleshy mountains. Before she even started oral sex, just looking at those white silk-clad buttocks, Ronan's thing was already erect, hard as if it was about to explode.

Chapter 915 Deeper Inclusion, Immortality, Like Mother and Daughter

Lu Jianling held her head in her mouth, her head moving up and down in small motions, her tongue occasionally licking it lightly. Ronan was so aroused that he couldn't help but reach out and press her head down, making her hold it much deeper.

"Hmm, hum," Lu Jianling made a sound, trying to lift her head by bracing herself on the ground, but Ronan held her down and she couldn't lift her head at all. After a while, Ronan let go and she was able to lift her head and stand up. She took a few deep breaths to catch her breath and the first thing she did after catching her breath was to punch Ronan.

"Are you trying to die?!" Lu Jianling cursed.

Ronan looked completely innocent, like a child who had made a mistake.

Seeing this, Lu Jianling got angry and stood up to kick him. But after kicking him, she sighed helplessly and lay down again, bending down and holding the base of his penis with one hand. "Give me some time to get used to it. This thing of yours is as thick as a club." After saying that, she took the head into her mouth again, licking and sucking it gently, and then taking it deeper and deeper.

Lu Jianling's slow, rhythmic breathing deepened slightly with each breath.

At the same time, Ronan's hand, through the white stockings, kept playing with her plump labia.

Before she knew it, Lu Jianling's vaginal opening was already wet, and her mouth, which was constantly performing oral sex, secreted a lot of saliva, making Ronan's entire large penis wet. Finally, when she was halfway in, she could not go any deeper.

There's still room for development. As a fifth-order cultivator, and one who uses the Seris cultivation method, Lu Jianling could definitely swallow it whole with a deep throat. However, Ronan wasn't in a hurry; he would develop it little by little.

Finally, as Lu Jianling vomited, Ronan got up, positioned her face down with her buttocks raised, and tore a hole in the crotch of her white stockings. Then, holding her waist with both hands, he inserted himself completely from behind.

It was like a thick, black stick suddenly piercing between two large, white cotton candies.

The sudden, complete insertion sent a thrill through Lu Jianling, causing her to involuntarily clench the cotton blanket on the ground, and her toes, hidden in her white stockings, suddenly curled up.

After a few thrusts, Ronan, while penetrating her, grabbed the waistband of her white stockings with one hand, pulled it up, and released it with a soft slap. With his other hand, he slapped her large, fleshy buttocks back and forth, creating waves of intense pleasure. Soon, Ronan removed Lu Jianling's shirt and began to increase his speed and intensity, enjoying the wild swinging of her large breasts.

The breasts jiggled violently, and soon Ronan couldn't hold back any longer. He climbed onto Lu Jianling's back, adopted a doggy-style position, and gripped her large breasts tightly with both hands, kneading and squeezing them as he fucked her. The flesh of her breasts kept changing shape, and occasionally some spilled out between his fingers.

Not satisfied with just grabbing and kneading, after a period of frenzied fucking and kneading, Ronan withdrew with a "pop," like pulling out a plug, then flipped Lu Jianling over and pounced on her, thrusting and suckling at the same time.

Her breasts and vagina were constantly being assaulted. Lying down, Lu Jianling's legs were bent and spread apart, her toes tightly curled inward, gripping the carpet. Her hands were also tightly gripping the carpet. Her eyes were glazed, her lips were slightly parted, and she occasionally let out a comfortable moan.

Ronan looked up again, “Sword Feather.”

"Hmm?" Lu Jianling responded questioningly.

“I want to fuck you for the rest of my life,” Ronan said.

"Hmph." Lu Jianling snorted coldly.

Ronan asked, "You don't believe me?"

“You are immortal, but I am not. If I cannot learn your so-called method of immortality, I will grow old and die sooner or later,” Lu Jianling said.

“You don’t need to worry about that. There will be simpler methods to achieve immortality in the future. Even if that doesn’t work, there’s Wen Jin. She has the technology to achieve immortality,” Ronan said.

The method for achieving immortality is currently extremely difficult, requiring both strong rational and logical thinking abilities as well as intuitive and perceptive abilities. In any case, Ronan himself couldn't learn it.

Even with some simplifications, those who achieve profound mastery are still beyond the reach of most people.

But no worries, there's also cutting-edge technology.

Wen Jin could also create something resembling a crystal skull skeleton. She was a second-generation AI with extensive knowledge, unlike Lavini, whose core program was an antique weapon for combat, or Caterpillar, an AI created to simulate ancient humans.

If Ronan asks Wen Jin for a favor, she will agree, because whether this world can ultimately be saved depends on Ronan, even if the method may not be Ronan's idea, the implementation still depends on him.

"Really?" Lu Jianling asked.

Although she didn't get involved with Ronan because he had done her a favor or brought her any benefits, she was still very moved at this moment.

“Of course,” Ronan replied.

"Then should I work even harder?" Lu Jianling asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Give me a break, your skills are far from good enough," Ronan teased. "You're not much better than a novice."

"Nonsense, I..." Lu Jianling wanted to say that she had improved very quickly and had already learned a lot of tricks in just a few times, but when the words came out, she felt that such words were too lewd, and she became angry and embarrassed. "Ugh, you are so annoying."

Ronan smiled briefly, then hoisted Lu Jianling's two heavy, super-long legs onto his shoulders. "Let me do it, I'll let you fly high."

Lu Jianling was about to retort when Ronan's rough, rubbing thrusts made her unable to open her mouth.

Before long, Lu Jianling was about to climax. Ronan lowered her legs, pressed down on her thighs and folded her up, leaving only her shoulders on the ground. Her long, thick legs were spread wide apart, her feet almost reaching the sides of her head. Her muddy vulva, exposed in the wet white stockings, was facing upwards. The scene was extremely private. After only a few seconds, Ronan immediately pressed down on her and began to thrust violently downwards, as if he wanted to inject everything into her.

With a squelch and a splatter, her juices splashed everywhere, and Lu Jianling began to scream wildly. Her mind was in a daze, and she was immersed in pleasure. She even ignored the fact that Ronan had inserted a finger into her anus, only feeling even more comfortable.

Just as she climaxed and squirted, Ronan followed suit with a burst of ejaculation, shooting out more than a dozen streams. She gradually regained her senses, and with a hiss, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her rear. Reaching out to touch it, she found it covered in sticky fluid, confirming what had happened.

Enraged, she raised her foot to kick, but Ronan easily grabbed her foot. "Don't be so angry. Actually, it feels quite comfortable, doesn't it?"

“Absolutely not,” Lu Jianling emphasized solemnly.

And so, the two fell into a cold war, which lasted for a full ten minutes.

Ronan brought over a cup of hot tea made with dried fruit and rock sugar. Lu Jianling took a big gulp and said, "Don't do that again."

“Hmm,” Ronan replied.

“I’m not saying I absolutely forbid it, but I must agree,” Lu Jianling emphasized earnestly.

"Jianling, your tone is like a mother lecturing her son," Ronan teased.

“You…you’re a complete scoundrel,” Lu Jianling couldn’t help but curse.

Ronan took a sip of his fruit tea. "Now it looks even more like it."

Lu Jianling finished her tea in one gulp. "I'm not coming anymore. I'm going to sleep."

"Now she's back to being a daughter who throws tantrums at her father."

Chapter 916 Two Pieces of Bad News: Unusual Developments in Annam, New Official Takes Office

The next morning, Ronan and Lu Jianling went down the mountain and received two pieces of bad news.

Lu Youwei first reported to Lu Jianling that there was a bandit uprising on the border between Yunnan and Annam. This was not an accident, but a sign that war was about to break out.

Before the bandits who had fled from the Central Plains to foreign lands over a hundred years ago invaded Burma, the country had already been in chaos for over a century. It was a small place with many powerful forces fighting each other. This was unlike Vietnam, which was divided among several major families, or Siam, which had a stable feudal system.

It's just a mess.

After being incorporated into the newly formed Annam, people from Myanmar were taken away as cannon fodder, heading towards Yunnan. This group also had an ambiguous and unclear relationship with some chieftains on the border.

This wouldn't normally be anything special, but unlike before, according to intelligence, there were also "Han Banners" mixed in with the Burmese. The Han Eight Banners were the elite force in the Annamite Kingdom established by the Han Chinese bandits, and they were equipped with excellent weapons.

That's precisely why it's bad news.

"Do you know their real main attack direction?" Lu Jianling asked Ronan.

Ronan couldn't help but ask, "How would I know?"

"Which side are you on?" Lu Jianling asked seriously.

“I really don’t know,” Ronan assured him.

Lu Jianling sighed solemnly, "Then let's change the subject. What do you think was Annam's purpose in launching the war?"

"What were their previous objectives?" Ronan countered with a question to Lu Jianling.

"Use war to promote negotiations, and use war to maintain unity," Lu Jianling replied.

If the upper echelons of Annam wanted to live comfortably, they had to do business with David and with foreigners. David was a country that was "internally wise and externally treacherous." Only by demonstrating their worth and making it clear to the Celestial Empire of China that they were a group of madmen who would sabotage you if you didn't pay them, could Annam make some concessions on trade-related matters.

On the other hand, Annam was, after all, a state established by a group of bandits who conquered foreign tribes. This group of bandits, along with their families and those they had brought along from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi, numbered only tens of thousands. They were enough to conquer Vietnam, Siam, and Burma, but they could not rule over the millions of people here in the same way that the central dynasty of Seres ruled over the people of the Central Plains. They could only implement the Eight Banners system and then use war to eliminate the "barbarian chieftains" here through "military law" and promote new, Sinicized people to replace them, thus maintaining this rule of the few over the many.

In short, although Annam has been invading the southern border of Wei State for centuries, it has never actually intended to take over any territory of Seres. The so-called northern expedition to the Central Plains is just a slogan that no ruler of Annam has ever believed in.

"If you ask me, we've been fighting for decades, almost a century. Don't you think these two conditions have reached their limit? Annam can't possibly get better trade terms anymore. The major clans in the country have either been dismantled or completely integrated into this strange Eight Banners system."

Ronan said.

"You mean, no, it's not that they want to go north, it's that they want to take over two military camps." Lu Jianling quickly realized.

This was not an easy task in the past. Although the Eastern India Military Command was in Bengal, India actually preferred to have such a place to isolate Annam. The Zhennan Military Command, on the other hand, had the support of the Zhenhai Military Command and the Guangzhou Navy available to go there at any time.

But things are different now. With the arrival of foreigners, India is struggling to cope with its own problems, while Annam's naval power has expanded considerably.

"It's all your fault, you foreigners!" Lu Jianling couldn't help but curse. If it weren't for the foreigners, Annam would never have been able to cause such a big disturbance.

"Go ahead and curse, I need to go and deal with the naval problem. Damn it, your court is just a bunch of troublemakers."

Ronan said, preparing to leave.

He said that, of course, because of another piece of bad news brought by Ashley.

When a new official takes office, it's not a governor. If it were a new governor, Ronan wouldn't care at all; he would either cooperate with them or be sidelined. However, the new one is the one in charge of customs, which is infuriating.

Several bigwigs in the provincial government had already boarded the "pirate ship" of rebellion and joined him, but the group of people in the customs accepted Ronan's proposal only because they could get a share of the profits. However, if their superiors disagreed, they would not blindly obey Ronan, because they had not joined the cause of rebellion.

Therefore, Ronan could sideline the governor, but he could not sideline the newly arrived Inspector General of Customs.

But it won't work without getting money from customs. Without this money, how can the navy maintain its high morale?

There is only one way to go, and that is to strive for cooperation.

However, according to intelligence, the other party was quite difficult to deal with, known as the "Tax Inspector." He was not an official, but he traveled around like an inspector. Wherever there were serious tax problems, he would go there to take charge of the tax work and resolve the backlog, uncollectible taxes, and taxes that should have been collected but were not.

He had collected taxes from remote and impoverished areas, and he had also collected taxes from prosperous regions.

Despite his sixth-level cultivation, he had no interest in becoming an official and never had any intention of joining the central government. He seemed to regard collecting taxes as one of the greatest pleasures in life.
