Chapter 374: So funny
Chapter 374: So funny
Gu Yixiao’s matter was not a big deal and no one was concerned about it, but Chu Yi deliberately made trouble, so Ling Aohan had to ask about it.
He was afraid of Mo Huaizun's presence, and a sinister look flashed across his eyes. He turned his head to look at the black-faced city defense, "What's going on?"
The black-faced city defense was very sensible. He said righteously that Gu Yixiao was an evil cultivator who killed her mother and refined corpse puppets, and he was preparing to capture her.
Ling Aohan frowned, and his cold, snake-like gaze swept over Gu Yixiao's family, "Since ancient times, evil cultivators have been rats in the gutter, and they are killed when they are encountered. Since you dare to come out, then die."
He obviously wanted to cut the Gordian knot, or vent his anger.
Under the pressure of the fusion stage, Ling Aohan suddenly slapped Gu Yixiao through the air. The latter was only in the early stage of foundation building, and he could not withstand it when he suddenly faced a master in the fusion stage.
Chu Yi came here to pick a fight, not to see Ling Aohan show off his power. He curled his lips in a sneer, gathering soul power like clouds and smoke in his hands to block the attack, but was stopped by Mo Huaizun's eyes.
Chu Yi didn't understand and originally wouldn't listen to Mo Huaizun, but when he thought that he would have to rely on Jueya's reputation to show off during this trip to Jiling, he listened.
The hurricane-like palm wind hit the corpses of Gu Yixiao's parents who were standing together to block Gu Yixiao. A black light flashed, and they were knocked back a step, and the stone slabs shattered.
Everyone who thought they would see blood splattered on the spot: "?"
What, blocked?
Aren't those two corpse puppets only at the Spiritualization Stage? How could they block Ling Yuanhan's attack?
Chu Yi's eyes showed surprise, and Mo Huaizun's eyes flashed with understanding.
Chu Yi immediately spoke up, "Hey, I haven't seen the Seventeenth Prince for a few days and he can't even beat a Foundation Establishment Stage! It's so funny."
Ling Yuanhan's face was already grim after his failure, and he became even gloomier when he heard Chu Yi exaggerating and evading the main issue.
Although he only used one-third of his strength, the two spirit corpse puppets were able to withstand it without any injuries. How would he save face if this got out?
He could see that something was wrong with the pair of corpse puppets, especially Gu Yixiao, who was worried about them and called out "Father and Mother" in a low voice.
"He is indeed a vicious and evil cultivator. For the sake of power, he killed his parents. No wonder he can take on one-third of my power!"
Ling Yuanhan seemed to be blaming others, but in fact he was making excuses for his misjudgment, saying that he had not used his full strength just now.
Chu Yi sneered, crossed his arms and said sarcastically: "The next sentence is: 'But, that's all'."
Ling Yuanhan closed his opened mouth awkwardly: "..."
His face looks like he is constipated.
The people around were trying to hold back their laughter, their mouth corners twitching.
Zhu Jiu and Xing Jun: "Hahahahahaha, Chu Yi is such a vicious person."
The thing Ling Aohan regretted most in his life was that he did not strangle Chu Yi to death when he was still a snotty baby when he went to the vassal state of Yueyao more than ten years ago.
So he grew up to be the Jueya Zhenchuan who always opposes him.
Ling Yuanhan didn't say anything. He couldn't afford to play around, so he started killing people, and this time he was serious.
The reputation of the seventeenth prince's genius spread far and wide, but he was feared by the incompetent old emperor and lived a miserable life in Jiling.
He attacked with the intention of killing, and of course the two corpse puppets couldn't stop him. They were knocked away in a few moves. The corpse puppets didn't feel pain, and they could get up and continue fighting even with broken legs.
"Aren't you going to help?" Xingjun asked Zhu Jiu, "It would be terrible if Ling Yuanhan scratched this girl's face."
"Not really. Isn't Mo Huaizun still here?"
At the same time, seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Yixiao turned to Mo Huaizun and Chu Yi, the only people who could help her, for help.
She spoke quickly, claiming that she was a corpse herder, not an evil cultivator, and explained the reason again.
Ling Yuanhan swept away the zombies that were in the way and looked at the woman with murderous intent who dared to ask for help from Chu Yi and the others in front of him.
"Voluntary sacrifice? Nonsense." Ling Yuanhan's attack went straight to Gu Yixiao's throat.
Zhu Jiu was originally waiting for Gu Yixiao to command her body, but the other party had no intention of doing so. She must have felt that Zhu Jiu was too weak and it would be useless to order her around.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the soul power attacked Ling Yuanhan and stopped his attack.
He turned back to defend himself, looked at Chu Yi coldly and said, "Master Chu, are you going to go along with the evil cultivators?"
"If you don't want your eyes and brain, donate them to people in need." Chu Yi mocked steadily, "Can't you tell that he's a corpse herder?"
"What's your name?" Chu Yi suddenly turned around and asked Gu Yixiao.
Perhaps because Chu Yi's temperament was too distinct, Gu Yixiao inexplicably said: "I didn't shout."
Zhu Jiu laughed out loud, "This little prince doesn't look like a good dog that can spit out ivory wherever he goes."
"..." Chu Yi looked at Gu Yixiao twice, thinking she was too stupid and couldn't understand what he was saying. He frowned and said, "What's your name?"
The latter was checking the extent of his parents' injuries, and he did not feel embarrassed to misunderstand what he said, and said, "Gu Yixiao."
After a pause, he added awkwardly, "Thank you for saving my life, sir."
"Okay, I don't need you to work like a slave for me in return." Chu Yi turned his face away with a cold and arrogant look. He just wanted to use this woman to make Ling Yuanhan unhappy.
Gu Yixiao: "?"
There is such a saying about repaying a favor? It turns out that people can be used as cattle and horses.
Chu Yi continued to attack Ling Yuanhan, "What's wrong with Gu Xiaoxiao's parents loving their daughter so deeply that they were willing to sacrifice themselves for her? I've touched your sore spot. Is there anyone who hasn't enjoyed it yet?"
Everyone was shocked and shivered as the air suddenly became cold around them.
Zhu Jiu, who was lying on his back eating watermelon, gave a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, you are really a master of talking nonsense."
Everyone knows that the seventeenth prince is unpopular. It's so funny. His mother was originally a maid. After giving birth to Ling Yuanhan, she was sentenced to death for saying the wrong thing.
Ling Yuanhan has grown up like a left-behind child, which is miserable.
Is Chu Yi hurting his heart? This is heartbreaking! He is madly stepping on other people's pain points.
Ling Yuanhan looked at Chu Yi as if he were a dead person.
Chu Yi looked back coldly, and it was absolutely true.
The hatred between the two is like the water in Tangjiang River, too much to drink up.
Just when the atmosphere was about to explode, a loud laugh interrupted the confrontation.
"It seems that my useless Seventeenth Brother has angered Master Chu again. Master Chu, please calm down for the sake of the beauty beside you."
The words were spoken in a rather arrogant and frivolous tone, which was quite unusual.
Ling Yuanhan's eyes turned several degrees colder.
Zhu Jiu looked over and saw a woman in bright yellow clothes, with a five-clawed golden dragon dancing wildly and lifelike in front of her.
She stood there, her head tilted cynically, her long hair hanging loosely from the green hairpin stuck in it.
From nowhere, the belt around her waist was not tied properly. She pinched the belt with her slender fingers and tightened it slowly.
Looking at her appearance, one feels a sense of nobility and relaxation that comes from being nourished by the finest gold and jade.
The information about this person emerged in Zhu Jiu's mind: Jiling Crown Princess Ling Yuanlong, ninety years old, at the peak of the spirit transformation realm, and wields a nine-tailed whip.
Xingjun silently recited the key information: "He is greedy for sex and alcohol, and has an unlimited number of male and female favorites in the backyard. Oh, Xiaoxiao is so beautiful and she is so lucky."
As expected, Ling Yuanlong's first glance was at Gu Yixiao, who had the most handsome face in the audience, and Zhu Jiu, who was standing next to him and had a strange look on his face but was very much in line with her sexual preferences.
She already knew most of what happened at the scene. She first politely exchanged a few words with Mo Huaizun and Chu Yi, then looked at Gu Yixiao with interest on her face, "Are you a corpse herder? Are you selling your body?"
Everyone else thought that Gu Yixiao was lucky to be favored by the princess, which saved him hundreds of years of detour.
But Gu Yixiao shook his head without any emotion: "Not for sale."
Everyone: "!!!"
She still refused!
"Where is the body?" Ling Yuanlong didn't seem angry, and his eyes lingered on Zhu Jiu.
Gu Yixiao said in a cold voice: "No, Epiphyllum is my friend."
"...Do I need to pay more?" Ling Yuanlong followed up with Gu Yixiao's last sentence.
Gu Yixiao still shook his head, like a ghost, not paying attention to anyone. He was only thinking about how to heal his parents' injuries.
Ling Yuanlong raised his eyebrows, "Well, there's no point in forcing it, but my seventeenth brother did something wrong and made a fool of himself. Why don't we join the banquet tonight?"
"Consider this my apology."
What's the point of being sorry? As a princess, why would she need to apologize to a corpse shepherd? This is purely lustful and she wants to seduce Gu Yixiao.
The banquets in Jiling are different from those in other places. They like to bring partners because there will be silly dances.
Gu Yixiao usually lives with corpses and never deals with living people, so she naturally doesn't like that kind of noisy scene. She once again refused mercilessly.
Ling Yuanhan smiled and interrupted, "Royal sister, you'd better stop. Not everyone is willing to climb into your bed."
Ling Yuanlong said with regret: "Yes, it's a pity that the bone-growing spirit grass I picked from Tianshan Mountain ended up being given away to those unskilled corpse herders for nothing."
Gu Yixiao: "!!!"
A little light shone in her dark eyes. The bone of Tianshan Mountain! It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. It's all monopolized by the people above. For her, she can only watch from afar and not play with it!
It is said that the effect is amazing, and it can restore twisted and deformed corpses. It just so happens that her parents were injured...
The bond of family affection is strong. Gu Yixiao asked expectantly, "Excuse me, can I still participate in the event?"
Ling Yuanlong smiled brightly, "Of course, you just follow me first."
Gu Yixiao nodded without hesitation.
Ling Yuanlong finally found time to talk to Ling Yuanhan. She raised her voice and said, "Seventeenth brother, human hearts are not absolute, but the people who don't love you are definitely absolute."
This statement is equivalent to what Chu Yi said above, and also mocks Ling Yuanhan for not being favored by the Emperor.
The difference is that this time the person who said this was the princess most loved by the emperor.
Ling Yuanhan laughed a few times grimly. After all, whoever gets provoked is a dog after hearing it too much.
"Especially recently, something bad happened. Just now, Baisui City lost to an evil cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the fight for a courtesan, and the wanted criminal escaped. Today, the Emperor asked you to welcome Chief Mo, but something went wrong, and you mistook the corpse herder for an evil cultivator."
"Seventeenth brother, you really bring shame to Ji Ling."
Ling Yuanhan has recently become a laughing stock of the Tainu faction, who laugh at him eight hundred times a day because of the Zhu Jiu incident. Even the upstarts who support him can hardly raise their heads.
Ling Yuanhan actually recognized Gu Yixiao's identity, but he was in a bad mood and was provoked by Chu Yi, so he just wanted to find an excuse to kill someone, nothing else.
Ling Yuanhan suppressed his anger at this time, lowered his eyes and said: "My Royal Sister taught me that I will reflect on myself in seclusion after returning."
"Reflect? The Canglan tragedy was caused by your letting the evil cultivator go. How can your reflection justify that?" Ling Yuanlong frowned and said sternly.
"Go to the Criminal Department." She said, "If the Emperor knew that you are so sincerely repentant, he would definitely show leniency."
The criminal justice system in Jiling is notoriously cruel.
When saying the last sentence, Ling Yuanlong was looking at Mo Huaizun.
