The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 798 Zhong Ying's Proposal

Zhao Chen felt speechless about Zhong Ying's "explanation" and didn't believe a single word of it.

This was not only because of the inexplicable smile on the other person's face, but also because the reason of not telling him was totally untenable.

Zhong Ying shouldn't know things that can't be said, so is Fei Meng or Qing Yan also not allowed to know? He didn't believe that Ningpin could really infer that it was Fei Meng herself.

That girl’s “power” is no less than mine!

"You didn't want to tell me?" Zhao Chen pulled Zhong Ying, who was leaning against him, into his arms and said with a dangerous look in his eyes.

Zhong Ying actually took the opportunity to put her arms around his neck and snorted, "Who told you to hide a lot of things from me?"

"What did I hide from you?" Zhao Chen looked away, but soon glared at Zhong Ying again.

Zhong Ying narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You just missed a lot of details when you talked about getting along with the Queen and the Imperial Concubine."

Zhao Chen was speechless for a moment, but he adjusted himself in an instant and changed the subject, "Is this how Zhong Ying speaks?"

Although Zhong Ying is a bit naughty and eccentric, she shouldn't be so jealous, right? Her character is a bit broken.

Zhong Ying understood his hidden meaning, but replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. After all, it's the 'Incarnation' that I snatched away. If I don't perform well, the negative feedback will go to 'her'. It won't affect me in the short term."

Zhao Chen thought for a moment and asked with concern, "You played the role strictly last time...Did something go wrong?"

I feel like your intimacy with me has suddenly accelerated. You even blushed the last time I hugged you like this...

Zhong Ying shook her head at first, but soon nodded, then put her cheek close to Zhao Chen's and said in a barely audible voice: "It is indeed not appropriate for you to know about me and 'her'... But I hope that after we finish our business, you can do everything you can to 'please' me, even more than you did to Qing Yan... This is also the reason why I came here in person today."

This... what kind of request is this? Zhao Chen was stunned. He never expected that Zhong Ying would make such an exciting "proposal".

Seeing that he seemed to be having trouble figuring it out, Zhong Ying chuckled and added, "If you can satisfy me today, I will tell you what treasure Concubine Ning might need."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen finally came back to his senses. He stared at Zhong Ying for a long time with an unclear expression, as if trying to figure out her true intentions, and then suddenly put his hand into her clothes...

Since there is a request, then meet it. Zhao Chen has never been afraid in this regard.

Zhong Ying hurriedly held his hand down, and said angrily, "I told you to finish the business first!"

"In other words, it's not the right time yet. You... I mean Fei Meng is not ready yet?" Zhao Chen stopped and said thoughtfully.

"Erlang, you are so smart." Zhong Ying sighed, and her tone obviously changed to Fei Meng, but she immediately changed the subject and went back to the intelligence of the 'witch', "By the way, in addition to the rather troublesome charm of 'Youxiang', the witches are also relatively good at 'alchemy' and 'curse'.

"As for what Zhu Heng mentioned, and the woman with pure white pupils that your sister Hongxia saw in the Shenmu Gang, I guess her eyes should be a magical tool or treasure made by alchemy. The specific effect depends on the materials she used in alchemy, but these kinds of things often have quite magical abilities, so don't be careless."

At this point, she paused, changed the subject again, and asked, "By the way, what is the second thing you want to discuss?"

Seeing that she was unwilling to reveal more, Zhao Chen could only follow her wishes, pulled his hand back, and then pushed her away from his arms. After tidying up his clothes, he said:

"The second thing is about 'Xuan Nu'... Do you think the 'Heavenly River Goddess Map' will be the backup plan for 'Xuan Nu's' revival?
"What was the emperor's plan in letting me get it?" Zhong Ying didn't adjust her front, leaving it spread out. After thinking for a while, she replied, "My judgment is similar to yours. With the 'conclusion' of Emperor Gaozu, 'Xuannv' will not be so easy to revive, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"Unless Emperor Gaozu has allowed it." Zhong Ying said meaningfully.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. He blurted out: "The fact that the seals of the 'Prince of Liang' can be broken one by one proves that His Majesty Gaozu has 'allowed' it!"

You must know that the King of Liang whose body was occupied by the Kaiming Beast was killed and sealed by Emperor Gaozu himself. Without his approval, how could the emperor dare to secretly instigate the King of Liang to destroy those secret realms.

It is also strange that the key to the seal was handed over to the gangs in the capital. Logically, shouldn't it have been kept by Emperor Gaozu himself?

Perhaps, this is the glimmer of hope that Emperor Gaozu left for "Xuannv"?
His "final conclusion" might have been to protect her... After all, according to rumors, Emperor Gaozu was quite fond of that "Xuannv".

"That's right..." Zhong Ying nodded heavily, "So I guess His Majesty gave you the 'Heavenly River Goddess Picture' with ulterior motives. Most likely he wanted to wait for a critical moment and use this thing to lure 'Jade Toad Master' to you.

"Of course, you should be safe. After all, you can 'summon ghosts'. With the Queen's help, even if 'Yuchan Zhenren' has 'Yuantong Zhenjun' transmitting power through the air, he should not be able to do anything to you."

After listening to Zhong Ying's analysis, Zhao Chen couldn't help but frown. After all, the incarnation of a True Lord is not so easy to deal with. This can be seen from the Bodhisattva Liandu and Lu Chunyang in the "Heart Realm Ruins".

But as Zhong Ying said, he still has many trump cards, so he is not too afraid. If he can't win, he can always run away. Moreover, those guys who control his fate behind the scenes will most likely not sit idly by.

Therefore, Zhao Chen actually has more questions:

"Emperor Gaozu allowed this, and the King of Liang couldn't see through it, but could 'Yuantong Zhenjun' also not understand it?
"He wants 'Xuan Nu' for the purpose of collecting essence from her. Isn't he afraid of offending His Majesty Gaozu?"

Zhong Ying smiled and shook his head, patiently explaining: "'Yuan Tong' is Sheng Xuan Zhen Jun, an ancient Buddhist disciple. Although he is no match for Emperor Gaozu, it is not easy for Emperor Gaozu to kill him.

"Unless he is bound by the 'Xuan Du Law'...

"But taking the 'Xuan Nu' does not violate the 'Law'."

"What's more, Emperor Gaozu valued 'Xuan Nu' more than 8,000 years ago, but he may not value her as much now.

“Perhaps allowing ‘Xuan Nu’ to revive was just a promise made in the past, and now we are just fulfilling the promise.

"In the face of such an opportunity that affects his cultivation progress, Yuan Tong will not back down.

“You have to know that once a cultivator becomes a ‘Dongxuan’, his temperament will gradually become ‘pure’, and these pure personalities will gradually solidify into the anchor point of the cultivator’s ‘humanity’.

“So, the cultivators above the Dongxuan level may be calculating in their actions, but their wills are absolutely firm enough and will not be easily shaken.

"Because high-ranking monks who do not stick to their own 'principles', in addition to partially adjusting their personalities and forming new anchor points, are likely to lose control of the Tao."
