Yu Zhengzheng clearly felt the murderous aura overflowing from the sky. At this moment, a complex emotion of sadness and joy flashed through her mind.
Xiao Yuqing was standing next to the two of them, blocking the best viewing angle. Her eyes were as big as bells, and she wished she could flash to the side of the two of them and watch this exciting scene up close.
God knows how long it has been since she last saw living people kissing. In the apocalypse, everyone is busy escaping and has no time to do this kind of thing.
When she arrived at Penglai Mountain, the sect had a rule that prohibited sexual intercourse during the day, and she couldn't peek through people's windows at night. Roughly speaking, she hadn't seen such a famous scene in nearly thirty years.
She wanted to rush over with a magnifying glass and carefully appreciate the details. She wanted to know whether kissing would cause thread drawing, and she wanted to know where Nangong Tianba would put his hands if there were no breasts to touch.
But reason told her that she couldn't do that.
And, she must stop Nangong Tianba from his suicidal behavior.
If he died, the assessment mission would be terminated. After all, Nangong Tianba was the only son of King Yan. If the Ghost King killed him, they would be regarded as accomplices.
It was good enough that the Prince of Yan did not dig up their ancestral tombs. How could he possibly hand over the heirloom to them
She didn't care whether the mission was completed or not. She just wanted to buy more time to escape, rather than fail the mission and be taken back to Xushan on the spot.
Yu Zhengzheng gritted her teeth, and before the Ghost King could raise his hand, she used all her strength to rush forward and kick Nangong Tianba away.
She was afraid that this action would make the Ghost King unhappy, so she quickly stretched out her arms to block the Ghost King, pretending to protect her master.
Yu Zhengzheng pinched her thigh and cried heartbreakingly, "You can insult me, but you can't insult him!"
Perhaps it was because her crying was too shocking, or perhaps it was because she caught the chicken with one hand and did not forget to protect the Ghost King. In any case, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't say a word for a long time.
The arm raised on Rong's face froze slightly, and her lowered eyes stared at her toes. The slightly warm golden light stretched her shadow long, reflecting the appearance of a giant.
It was not difficult to hear the perfunctory tone in her crying, but regardless of whether it was sincere or not, she was the first person in more than 100,000 years who was willing to stand in front of him.
With a smile on his face, he tapped the Buddhist beads between his fingers and slowly put them back into his palm.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves came from far away and gradually got closer. The people dispersed one after another to make way for the group of horsemen.
What caught my eye was a middle-aged man in golden bronze armor, with an upright posture, jumping down from his horse's back, his red cloak proudly lifted up in the wind. There was a "pop" sound, and Nangong Tianba's head was tilted by the slap.
The King of Yan was so angry that his eyes turned red. He pointed at his nose and cursed: "Unfilial son, I am fighting for my country at the border, but you are doing evil in the capital!"
Nangong Tianba smiled coldly: "You asked me to marry and have children to continue your Nangong family, and now you accuse me of doing evil. Anyway, no matter what I do, you will not be satisfied."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving only the mess on the ground to King Yan.
King Yan slammed his fist on the wooden stake, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the few people: "This king is not good at educating his children. If I have offended you, I hope you can forgive me."
Yu Zhengzheng recalled some of the stories about the human world. The Prince of Yan had been away fighting for many years and had been separated from his wife and children for most of the time. The Princess of Yan was frail and passed away before she was thirty years old.
The Prince of Yan rode at full speed but still failed to arrive in time for the funeral of his wife and children. He felt extremely guilty for what he did to his wife and children, so he resigned from the post of general and stayed in the capital to try to make up for the fatherly love that Nangong Tianba lacked.
In recent years, the Huns have invaded frequently, and the Emperor ordered the Prince of Yan to go to war, so the Prince of Yan had to lead the army again.
It was during the time when Prince Yan was away on a campaign that Nangong Tianba recklessly married the ninety-ninth princess.
Yu Zhengzheng pondered for a moment and wiped away her tears: "It's fine for me, but King Qin Rui just flirted with him..."
She turned her head to signal the Ghost King behind her. King Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with a sullen face, "Is this gentleman your husband?"
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
She seemed to feel countless burning gazes cast on her, the most passionate of which came from the Ghost King himself.
Oh, my lord
If she marries a man like this in the future, she will live stream herself doing handstands, having diarrhea, and breaststroke in a pit.
Yu Zhengzheng remained calm and said confidently, "No, he is my godfather."
Prince Yan's expression became noticeably uglier.
What a beast! What a pervert!
This little bastard even spared the girl's godfather!
He looked guilty: "I wonder how I can compensate you?"
Yu Jiangjiang was about to ask him to hand over the heirloom, but Yu Zhengzheng interrupted him and said, "We are escorts delivering goods. We are going to stay in your place for a few days, but we don't have a place to stay yet..."
Prince Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Prince Yan's Mansion is large and safe. If you don't mind, you can stay with me in Prince Yan's Mansion for a few days."
Seeing that the Prince of Yan was so tactful, Yu Zhengzheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I'll bother you, Your Highness."
Prince Yan had just returned to the capital and had to meet the Emperor. After instructing his subordinates to send them to Prince Yan's Mansion, he left in a hurry.
Yu Jiangjiang muttered unhappily, "You could have taken the opportunity to make him hand over the heirloom, but he insisted on moving into Prince Yan's mansion. Could it be that my sister really has a crush on Nangong Tianba?"
She was thinking about how to respond to Yu Jiangjiang, but Xiao Yuqing spoke first, "If we ask King Yan directly for the heirloom, he will definitely regard us as bad guys with ulterior motives. It is safer for Miss Yu to take a step-by-step approach."
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned and slightly moved.
In fact, she didn't think too much about it. She was just afraid that the task would be completed too quickly and she would not have time to escape.
Rong Shang walked past her and happened to see her moved expression towards Xiao Yuqing.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he felt inexplicably unhappy.
"You got snot in your mouth."
Rong Shang threw down these words and jumped over her and walked forward.
Yu Zhengzheng subconsciously raised her hand to wipe her nose, but found nothing. She glared at his back and cursed him in her heart as a bastard.
When she arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion, she realized belatedly that Xiang Feng had not followed her.
An Ning followed Shan Shui, her face gentle and silent. She pulled Shan Shui aside and asked, "Where is your master?"
Shanshui pointed at the sun in the sky and said, "The sun is too strong today. Master cannot stand the strong light. You can come here after the sun sets."
Yu Zhengzheng was stunned: "He won't suck human blood again, right?"
Shanshui nodded: "Only occasionally."
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
She couldn't help shivering and decided to move away from Xiang Feng.
As soon as he entered Prince Yan's Mansion, the Ghost King disappeared.
They hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and they were all feeling hungry before noon.
Perhaps the Prince of Yan had specifically instructed them to do so, for less than half an hour after they entered the palace, someone had prepared lunch and brought it to them.
There were quite a lot of them, so they could only sit at two tables.
As soon as Xiao Yuqing sat down, people filled the space around her. Yu Zhengzheng did not compete with them. She took the hen to another table and sat with Shanshui.
Ziyu and Ziqian rushed to pick up food for Xiao Yuqing. Shanshui was very curious when he saw this: "Hasn't Master Xiao already fasted?"
Yu Zhengzheng picked up a piece of squirrel mandarin fish for herself and sneered: "Look how attentive they are, this is called licking a dog."
Shanshui pointed at Yu Jiangjiang who wanted to pick up some food for Xiao Yuqing but couldn't reach out his hand: "What about her?"
Yu Zhengzheng: "People like her who want to lick but don't dare to lick are called lookout dogs."
Shanshui nodded, not quite understanding: "If we sit at a table alone, should we be called single dogs?"
Yu Zhengzheng: “…”
She felt as if she had been hit by a 200-ton critical hit. Shanshui was not a single guy at all. She was the only one who was single.
Yu Zhengzheng took a deep breath and changed the subject with an unnatural look: "Shanshui, have you seen this kind of chain?"
She stretched her ankle outwards, and Shanshui stared at the silver chain for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "No, but my master should have seen it. I'll ask him at night."
When Xiang Feng was mentioned, Yu Zhengzheng thought of An Ning who was sitting opposite them.
An Ning seemed to have been mute. She hadn't said a word since she came out of the inn. It was not known whether it was because she was shy and introverted, or because Xiang Feng was not here, but she was too disdainful to talk to them.
Ever since the umbrella incident yesterday, she had no good feelings towards An Ning. She always felt that An Ning's appearance was too coincidental, as if someone had planned it in advance.
But if it was really premeditated, what did An Ning want to get from Xiang Feng
Just as Yu Zhengzheng was deep in thought, Xiao Yuqing came over with a plate of sweet and sour spare ribs. He placed the plate in front of her: "Eat more meat, you are too thin."
Yu Zhengzheng was startled and looked up at him: "Brother Xiao, don't you want to eat?"
Xiao Yuqing shook his head: "I have been fasting for a long time, and only eat some food occasionally to satisfy my cravings."
He thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Yu, what are your plans next?"
Yu Zhengzheng was speechless. What could she plan? She just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
Seeing his face full of trust and expectation, she racked her brains to recall the plot of the original book about the human world.
In the original text, they did not enter Prince Yan's mansion. She remembered that there seemed to be a welcoming banquet tonight, and they broke into the palace directly and threatened Prince Yan to hand over the heirloom.
Yu Zhengzheng analyzed in a pretentious manner: "The Prince of Yan looks exhausted, perhaps he just returned from the border. If that's the case, according to the rules of the human world, the emperor should welcome the Prince of Yan."
Xiao Yuqing pondered for a moment: "Miss Yu means that while Prince Yan and Nangong Tianba are away, we should look for heirlooms in the mansion?"
Yu Zhengzheng twitched the corners of her mouth, somewhat confused as to why his train of thought was so bizarre.
If she didn't want to delay time and had no interest in completing the assessment, she would have directly brought people to tie up Nangong Tianba and threaten King Yan.
This simple and quick method is much more efficient than rummaging through boxes and drawers to find the heirloom.
She did not deny Xiao Yuqing's idea. It would be great if she could delay it a little longer.
Yu Jiangjiang came over at some point and sat down next to Xiao Yuqing with a natural look on his face. "Yesterday the doctor told me to apply some medicine, but my memory is not very good and I forgot which bottle of medicine to apply first. Do you remember, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yuqing nodded and patiently explained to her the dosage and order of the medicine. After that, he turned his head back to Yu Zhengzheng and picked up two pieces of ribs for her with a serving chopstick.
Yu Jiangjiang's joyful smile froze at the corner of her mouth. She clenched the medicine bottle with gritted teeth, wishing she could tear Yu Zhengzheng into pieces with her eyes.
Yu Zhengzheng drank too much water and felt like going to the toilet. As soon as she stood up, Shanshui warned her, "Miss Zhengzheng, be careful. Master just sent me a letter saying that the Seventh Prince of the South Sea has come to the human world to chase her."
The Ghost King had just killed the Dragon King of the South China Sea a few days ago, causing countless deaths and injuries in the South China Sea. This news has already spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation. The Seventh Prince of the South China Sea is probably coming to the human world to seek revenge.
Unfortunately, the Dragon King of the South China Sea could not defeat the Ghost King, and the Seventh Prince of the South China Sea naturally could not do anything to the Ghost King either. It was just a waste of effort.
Yu Zhengzheng responded but didn't take it to heart.
They are here to hunt down the Ghost King, and it has nothing to do with her.
As soon as she went out, Yu Zhengzheng felt someone following her. When she got outside the toilet, she couldn't help but turned her head and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Yu Jiangjiang paused, a little annoyed: "I should be the one asking you this question! I like the senior brother, so you went to seduce the senior brother. Now I like Mr. Xiao, but you are still haunting me. What do you want?"
Yu Zhengzheng was so angry that she laughed: "You followed me to the toilet just to talk about this?"
Seeing her disdainful expression, Yu Jiangjiang also felt that she had lost her sense of propriety. She blushed and said, "I want to go to the toilet too. Is that not okay?"
After saying that, she stormed into the toilet.
This toilet is large and spacious, with good privacy. There is a carved mahogany screen next to each pit as a partition. Sandalwood is burning in the gilded double-handled incense burner placed at the feet. It is so exquisite that it doesn't seem like a toilet.
As soon as Yu Zhengzheng entered the toilet, she heard Yu Jiangjiang's wheezing sound.
She squatted in the pit next to Yu Jiangjiang. The blowing sound had not stopped yet. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you think the shit is hot in your mouth?"
Yu Jiangjiang did not answer her. The sharp blade of the sword pressed against the back of Yu Zhengzheng's neck. She gasped in pain, making the same blowing sound as Yu Jiangjiang.
