After hearing this, Luo Bingqing trembled all over and opened her mouth to say something, but thinking back to the 26 things that happened before, she found that it would be redundant for her to say anything. If she were in their shoes, she would never let this little girl go...
Then conversely...
"Don't think that this princess is a magnanimous person..." Lu Meir giggled, "Girls, what's the point of having a broad mind? Just having breasts is enough!"
This was said in a playful way, but no one in the room laughed, because everyone could tell that the tone of this sentence was wrong, and its true meaning was also very obvious...
"... What do you want?" Luo Bingqing had never thought that one day she would be so embarrassed and wait for others to pronounce her fate. She... really regretted it.
But it's too late, it's too late after all.
"What do you want?" Lu Meir sneered, then raised her right hand high and pointed at Luo Bingqing!
"Luo Bingqing, the daughter of the Luo family, committed a crime of treason and plotted to destroy the royal bloodline. Her scheming is deep and her crime is unforgivable. However, for the sake of Marquis Luo, the death penalty can be spared. Her magical powers will be stripped away and she will be ordered to return home and be confined. She is not allowed to come out for twenty years!"
After hearing this, Luo Bingqing's pupils shrank: "You want to destroy me and keep me from going out again for 20 years?"
She simply couldn't imagine that the supernatural powers she had cultivated for more than ten years were destroyed in an instant, and she was then imprisoned in the turbulent Luo family. Could she survive for more than twenty years
However, this is not the end!
"And..." Lu Meir stretched out her hand, "Hand over your Xumi Ring!"
Before Luo Bingqing could react, Lu Meir had already appeared and lightly took away her Xumi Ring. Then, she handed it to Chu Tianxiao like offering a treasure, and said happily, "Brother Tianxiao, this is yours!"
Chu Tianxiao accepted it without hesitation, and then casually touched the kid's head: "Well done, kid."
"Hehe..." Lu Meir smiled happily, but suddenly lowered her head and said hesitantly, "That... Brother Tianxiao, let's discuss something. Look, you said I did a good job, so... stop calling me a naughty kid, okay?"
There was a hint of shyness in her expression, which made everyone in the room completely stunned. Mr. Fang Deng felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. What was going on? What was going on? Was she still the mischievous little princess who had always been causing trouble since she was a child? Why did she look a bit like...
The others were speechless, thinking, "Little princess, what are you doing? You are the princess of the dynasty, and that prodigal son shouldn't call you a naughty child. You are already magnanimous for not caring about his words and deeds. Why are you still negotiating with him? Why don't you just speak directly?"
Even Xue Yan looked at Lu Meir with a wary look, thinking that she was plotting something to trick him. Chu Tianxiao, on the other hand, seemed to have become insensitive when something happened to him, and tapped her head lightly: "Stop talking nonsense, you are the only one who is not a naughty kid? I'll take the Xumi Ring, thank you."
Hearing this, Lu Meir lowered her head, curled her lips, and muttered something that no one could hear clearly. At this moment, Luo Bingqing just came back to her senses from the shock, and when she looked at the Xumi ring in Chu Tianxiao's hand, she couldn't help but get angry: "Prodigal son! Put down my Xumi ring!"
Chu Tianxiao said "oh" and ignored her. He put the Xumi ring away. Luo Bingqing's heart was bleeding when she saw this scene. That was the only Xumi ring she had. The things in it could be regarded as nearly half of her family property for more than ten years. Among them, there were two of the nine things needed for "Perfect Marrow Cleansing" that were more difficult to collect - Jiangyun Cream and Ice Snow Lotus Seed! This was what she used to impact the Tongxuan realm of "Perfect Marrow Cleansing"! Not to mention, there were also a large number of elixirs, enough to support anyone all the way to the Tongxuan middle realm, and even some jade slips of exercises obtained by chance, including her Luo family's "Ice Vortex Jue", and... Several sets of exercises and escape methods that Chu He had provided in advance, including the complete set of "Thousand Moon Phantom Escape"!
Now that all these things have fallen into Chu Tianxiao's hands, how can she not hate it? How can she not feel pain!
“Chu Tianxiao, don’t think you can enjoy your life… Don’t forget the iron rule of the Shenhou family. You attacked me who was powerless to resist and cut off my arm. This is a fact!”
Before she could finish her words, Lu Meir rolled her eyes at her and said, "During this training, Brother Tianxiao is my protector. You hurt me to such an extent. If Brother Tianxiao doesn't punish me a little on my behalf, it would be a dereliction of duty!"
"The Divine Marquis Family's iron law has clear provisions. Have you forgotten?"
After hearing this, Luo Bingqing was speechless. She felt that she had never felt so helpless, hateful, and powerless in her life. However... everything was irreversible. Soon, she and the rest of the group were taken away by the gentlemen. The training in the Desolate Mountains came to an end after Lu Meir opened her mouth.
"Mr. Yi, don't forget the Nine-bend Nanmu." Chu Tianxiao had always been concerned about this item. Before the gentlemen started to lead the team back, he bowed to Mr. Yi and asked for it...
“Alas… I owe you a favor this time, Lord Mo. I can’t regret it even if I want to.” Mr. Yi smiled bitterly. He was grateful to Chu Tianxiao in his heart. If he hadn’t “taken the risk” to absorb the human-level upper-grade thunder spirit, the little princess might have been crippled by that crazy woman Luo Bingqing. By then, his end would have been very miserable…
Fortunately, none of this happened.
"Hehe... Mr. Yi, you're too polite. Actually, you should really listen to what I have to say..."
"What if I hear what you have to say? Won't you still force yourself to swallow the Thunder Spirit?" Mr. Yi rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and with a helpless look, he took out a white jade box from his Sumeru Ring, with a wisp of cool air coming out of it.
"Keep it. This is the only treasure I have that is worth boasting about. I am giving it to you along with the box. You must cherish it."
Chu Tianxiao would not say that he would chop it up in the future... He smiled awkwardly and then said, "Well, Mr. Yi... the number of chips we agreed on at the beginning was..."
"...Alright, alright, it's a sudden turn of events, you've won so many more chips, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to count!" Mr. Yi waved his hand helplessly, "Except for the chips you mentioned earlier to offset the blood-winged feathers, you now... still have 11,000 chips left. The exchange form is also here, you can do whatever you want."
At this time, it was the last moment to exchange bamboo chips for rewards. For a moment, the excitement about the gains overwhelmed the previous surprise, and everyone got busy, making it very lively.
Of course, there were also many people who kept looking at Lu Meir, as if they wanted to remember this unforgettable "special experience"...
At that moment, Chu Tianxiao took the list, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "Then give me this method..."
Mr. Yi was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Hmm? This volume of Taoism... doesn't seem to be suitable for you to practice, right?"
"Oh, sir, you have a keen eye." Chu Tianxiao nodded, and then pointed at the bloody rock, "This is what I prepared for my lackey."
Xue Yan was stunned when he heard that, and then he looked at the magic, and his heart was pounding and he was shocked at the same time: "Young Master, this item is worth more than 10,000 chips... How dare I..."
"Okay, it's rare to find a suitable volume of Taoism here, just take it." Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "All my lackeys have this benefit, don't accuse me of being partial."
"..." Xue Yan groaned for a moment, then knelt on one knee in front of Chu Tianxiao and lowered his head. After a moment, he respectfully accepted the Taoist method that Chu Tianxiao had exchanged for. Then, he raised his head, and a trace of emotion appeared on his resolute face: "Young Master... I have a plan."
"Do you think you are too weak now, so you plan to go somewhere to hone your skills?"
"…How did the young master know?"
"Heh... It's always easier to guess some things about one's own lackeys... To be honest, that's what I was planning to do. After all, this volume of Taoism can only be quickly mastered through the trials of life and death. Besides... you should also make good use of the resources I gave you."
"...Yes! I am terrified..."
"That's enough." Chu Tianxiao waved his hand. "No need to say more polite words. I only have one word to say farewell."
"I respectfully listen to the young master's instructions."
"Remember this..." Chu Tianxiao said slowly, "In the vast land of China, the strong will always prey on the weak. Next time you come back, you must show your wolf nature and kill the enemy with absolute determination, without mercy!"
"…Yes! To be honest, young master, I have already decided to go to the Savage River Basin after training for a while!"
This sentence was transmitted with the True Essence. Chu Tianxiao murmured in his heart when he heard it: "... Savage River Basin... "
"...Okay, go ahead," Chu Tianxiao's mind moved, and he said this, while throwing out a Xumi Ring, and then transmitted his true essence, "There is meteorite iron inside, go and make your own wolf claws, and there are many resources... Well, when you come back, you will be the Blood Wolf."
Xueyan lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was also thinking about the meaning of Chu Tianxiao's words. After a moment, he stood up, clasped his fists to Chu Tianxiao, turned around and disappeared into the dense forest...
"You are so confident. Aren't you afraid that he will never come back?" Mr. Yi looked at Chu Tianxiao with interest. Before he could answer, Lu Meir said, "Impossible! That Ice Face is not that kind of person!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao nodded, looked at Lu Meir, and said, "Okay, kid, this training is over, you have gained a lot, it's time to go back..."
"Ah?" Lu Meir then remembered that she had to return to the palace after the training. Suddenly, her face turned bitter and she muttered in a low voice: "Brother Tianxiao, can I not leave..."
Mr. Yi was shocked when he heard this, and thought that Lu Mei'er's "old illness" had recurred. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "Your Highness, please don't embarrass me anymore. You should return to the palace as soon as possible..."
"Look," Chu Tianxiao pointed at Mr. Yi and said to Lu Meir, "This incident was too thrilling. If I were Mr. Yi, I wouldn't want to cause any more trouble. I just want to send you back to the palace safely and get it over with! So, do you think you might not go back? Maybe your brother is already on his way..."
"... Humph!" Lu Meir stomped her feet unhappily and said, "Then... Brother Tianxiao, when will you come to the palace to play with me again?"
Chu Tianxiao seemed not to hear any strange emotion in her words. He just looked into the distance and said leisurely, "... I will probably leave for Kyoto in three days."
"So fast?" Lu Meir was surprised and happy, completely forgetting that going to Kyoto and going to the palace were two completely different things. Chu Tianxiao touched her little head and saw at a glance that she was blinded by one thing. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, but said nothing.
"Eh..." At this moment, Lu Meir looked at Chu Tianxiao and suddenly felt that something was wrong with his aura. Then, she exclaimed, "Brother Tianxiao... You, you have advanced to the middle level of Mingyuan? Why didn't you tell me!"
Chu Tianxiao exclaimed when he heard this, and then, after carefully examining himself, he was slightly startled, but soon relieved - when he had obtained the secret method of Heavenly Thunder Art earlier, the system had already marked it below, saying that if one could practice the first level and absorb the first thunder spirit, and then continue fighting to consume the endless true energy in the form of fighting, then it would be of great benefit to the body. While consolidating the foundation, it would be normal for the true energy to break through the bottleneck and improve a small realm.
Moreover, what made Chu Tianxiao even happier was that after this fight, not only did his practical experience increase greatly, but also the "aftermath" caused by the "speed" of rushing from the Lianzhen realm to the Mingyuan realm in just one month finally disappeared - specifically, his perception also caught up.
Now he is actually a genuine Mingyuan realm powerhouse.
"Well, the middle realm of Mingyuan... It seems that this time's experience in the Fierce Desolate Mountains was really a great harvest. I collected a lot of good things, and the tricky main line III also has some clues. Now even the realm is completely stable, and I have even reached a small realm!"
"It's just... I heard that Chu He has been very strong recently and has directly broken through to the upper realm of Mingyuan. It seems that there is still a small realm between him and me... But it's not far away." Chu Tianxiao thought so, his eyes turned, and seeing that Lu Meir was still waiting for his reply, he said leisurely: "I didn't say... It's just because you didn't ask..."
Lu Meir almost fainted, and even Mr. Yi and the others had a look of "you are an animal" on their faces...
After practicing for a month, he advanced from the first level of Lianzhen to the middle level of Mingyuan...
They... really don't know what to say anymore.
…
At the same time, in another part of the Xionghuang Mountains.
With a loud crash.
A giant python-like beast with a strength of the third level suddenly emerged from the water, circled around the fake Tianmei tree several times, and made a low hissing sound...
If Chu Tianxiao and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this ferocious beast was the same one they encountered when they were picking the Tianmei Fruit!
At this time...
A slender hand seemed to come from the sky, lighter than a falling peach blossom, and landed on its head. Immediately, a clear sound like a wind chime rang out...
"What's the matter, Xiaohua?" (To be continued.)
