Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 687 Communication

Prince Zheng looked at Li Xuan with a serious expression.

Before this, he had also seen Li Xuan kick the Third Prince badly in a Cuju match at the Chongyang Festival banquet.

At that time, he knew that Li Xuan must be a rare and precious beast.

But what kind of rare and exotic animal could actually approach him silently?

At this moment, King Zheng suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Moreover, looking at the black cat in Princess Ankang's arms, the look in its eyes was obviously unfriendly. It was probably quite human-like, at least it understood the meaning of his words just now and thought that its little master was threatened.

King Zheng quickly calmed down, stroked his long beard and examined Li Xuan.

"Ankang, your black cat is quite unusual."

King Zheng looked at Li Xuan's extraordinary appearance and his ability to approach him quietly, with admiration in his eyes.

"Ah Xuan is indeed very important to me."

Princess Ankang nodded seriously.

Then, she turned to King Zheng and asked, "I wonder what the emperor's uncle meant by what he said just now?"

King Zheng just said that he and Princess Yan Zhao were born at the wrong time.

This is really outrageous.

Although everyone knows what King Zheng is thinking.

But King Zheng never openly admitted these things.

Just like before, it was an obvious threat, and it seemed like it was the first time.

"Nothing, just talking casually."

King Zheng smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Princess Ankang: "It's getting cold at night, go back and rest early."

Princess Ankang held Li Xuan in her arms, stood there, and watched Prince Zheng leave.

"Ah Xuan, what do you mean by King Zheng?"

Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan with some confusion.

Li Xuan did not answer, and was confused.

King Zheng has always been cautious and rarely makes mistakes.

Tonight, he came to the deck first to get some fresh air, and then Princess Ankang went over to talk to him.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately stood up from Princess Ankang's arms, raised his paw and hit Princess Ankang on the head with a meow punch.

"Oh~"

Princess Ankang cried out in pain, holding her head.

"Why are you talking to him when you have nothing to do?"

Li Xuan was so angry that he asked through voice transmission.

If something unexpected happened, Li Xuan would have nowhere to cry.

"We are on Father's Dragon and Phoenix Royal Boat. What could possibly happen?"

Princess Ankang said unconvinced.

"And I never had the opportunity to talk to the emperor's uncle in private before."

"It has come to this. If we don't have a good talk before this, there may never be another chance, right?"

"Is this really good?"

Princess Ankang had a complicated expression.

Li Xuan immediately frowned and asked, "Why, do you still have illusions about him?"

"He has done so many evil things, he will never turn back, and he shouldn't have the chance to turn back."

As he spoke, Li Xuan glared in the direction where King Zheng left.

Compared to Princess Ankang, Li Xuan saw more.

Li Xuan saw everything how the people of Daxing were ravaged.

Let’s not talk about the past, after all, that was something Li Xuan didn’t understand either.

But Emperor Yongyuan was an emperor who worked hard to govern the country. He wanted to be a good emperor and he had the ability to do so.

If there had not been the open and secret struggles between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng in Daxing, Emperor Yongyuan would have been capable enough to govern the world well, or at least it would not be as bad as it is now.

Li Xuan believes this to be certain.

Emperor Yongyuan has been able to hold on until now under the threat of Prince Zheng, and even slowly turned the situation around, which shows his ability.

"Ah Xuan, that's not what I meant."

Princess Ankang shook her head.

"Prince Zheng is my father's uncle, and my great-uncle. We are all members of the Daxing royal family, and we should be one family."

"Logically speaking, if Prince Zheng wanted to ascend the throne, how could he be reduced to fighting with my father?"

"If Prince Zheng had this ambition earlier, Grandfather Emperor would not have tolerated him."

Li Xuan understood what Princess Ankang meant.

For example, the current Emperor Yongyuan, all his brothers have died, leaving only some sisters who are still living out their days in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion in the capital.

Emperor Yongyuan's brothers were not killed by him, but died for their own reasons in the chaos of the previous emperor's death.

Among them, King Zheng had the most blood on his hands.

But in the end he helped Emperor Yongyuan ascend the throne.

Emperor Yongyuan, who was still a prince, was useless and no better than his other brothers.

But it was such an ordinary prince who had the last laugh in the struggle for the throne.

After Emperor Yongyuan ascended the throne, all other princes were purged.

Of course, this kind of action was definitely not something that Emperor Yongyuan, who had no foundation at the time, could do.

At that time, Prince Zheng cleared all possible obstacles for Emperor Yongyuan and helped him to sit firmly on the throne.

At that time, people in the court and the country all thought that Prince Zheng would be an excellent regent who could help Emperor Yongyuan take over Daxing smoothly.

But what happened later was beyond everyone's expectations.

Princess Ankang obviously felt that there must be some reason behind this, which caused King Zheng to change his mind.

"Ah Xuan, if Prince Zheng had ambitions long ago, Grandfather the Emperor would not have allowed him to continue living, just like all the previous emperors of Daxing."

"Even if the incompetent princes made King Zheng ambitious after the death of Grandfather Emperor, why didn't they do it then, but now?"

"I think we need a chance to talk."

Princess Ankang said seriously.

Li Xuan was silent for a while, and his momentum weakened a bit.

What Princess Ankang said does make sense, but not everything in this world can be explained by reason.

"If King Zheng was willing to talk, he wouldn't have said that just now."

Li Xuan slowly shrank his body back into Princess Ankang's arms.

He certainly hopes that the world is a better place.

Unfortunately, that's too difficult.

Princess Ankang touched Li Xuan's fur and sighed:
"Ah Xuan, it would be best if we could turn hostility into friendship."

“I know it’s hard, but I have to try.”

"Otherwise, if no one tries, there won't even be a slight chance."

Li Xuan sighed silently in his heart and closed his eyes in silence.

Princess Ankang felt somewhat helpless and just hugged Li Xuan tighter in her arms.

She knew that her rash actions made Li Xuan worried.

But at this moment, Princess Ankang heard Li Xuan's voice again.

"You can try, but don't take any risks. When you talk to King Zheng in the future, I must be with you."

Princess Ankang smiled and nodded quickly, kissing Li Xuan's head randomly like a chick pecking at rice.

Li Xuan pretended to be disgusted and raised his paw to touch Princess Ankang's face, but let her little mouth fall on him.

"Alas, there is really nothing I can do with this little girl."

……

After returning to the room, Li Xuan coaxed Princess Ankang to sleep, then sneaked out of the bed and went to Sharon's room.

"Master Xuan, what's the matter?"

Sharon was originally sitting cross-legged on the bed, but she found her knees being pressed. She opened her eyes and found that it was Li Xuan who came.

"How's your strength recovering?" Li Xuan asked in a voice transmission.

"Now that I have consolidated the fifth level, I am not far from the fourth level of tranquility."

Sharon was practicing again, and her experiences were still there, so her progress was exceptionally rapid.

Compared to her first time practicing, this time of practicing again can be said to be extremely easy.

It’s just that the cultivation of this true qi requires a certain amount of accumulation, otherwise Sharon would have returned to the upper third level long ago.

"That's good." Li Xuan nodded.

"Master Xuan, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Li Xuan came late at night tonight, and Sharon realized that it was definitely more than just occasional concern.

As Sharon's strength recovers, she looks younger and younger.

From an old lady in her sixties or seventies, she now looks like she is only in her early forties.

But her hair was still silver, with no sign of turning black.

In order to change her appearance, Sharon deliberately put on makeup to make herself look ugly so as to maintain her original image.

Otherwise, her change would be too great and might attract the attention of other people in the palace, and might even cause trouble.

But as Sharon became more conscious, her eyes became brighter and brighter, not as cloudy as before.

She could use makeup to cover up the changes in her appearance, but she could not hide her eyes, which became bright and charming, like a young and beautiful girl.

Of all Sharon's facial features, her amber-like light yellow eyes are the most attractive.

"Sharon, I want you to try to practice the Jihena Demonic Flame and recover your skills as soon as possible."

Li Xuan went straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit tonight.

"Gihena Demonic Flame!?"

Sharon naturally knew this technique.

It was she who personally interpreted the secret text for Li Xuan.

Li Xuan knew Sharon's concerns from her expression and explained immediately:
"I can help you shield you from all the drawbacks of magic. I believe you know that I have this ability."

"The skills Ignis learned from the first half of the Holy Fire Immortal Body may help you to make further progress."

"If it doesn't work, you won't have any other losses as long as I'm here."

Sharon was silent for a moment, and immediately understood that Li Xuan wanted him to recover his strength as soon as possible.

This may be related to the conversation between Princess Ankang and King Zheng just now.

Sharon thought about it and finally nodded.

"Since it is Master Xuan's request, I am willing to give it a try."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Sharon would not be willing.

After all, even if Sharon practices according to the rules, she will definitely be able to return to the upper third level, so there is no need to rush.

But now that they are getting closer and closer to Jiangnan Road, Li Xuan is becoming more and more uneasy and urgently needs more combat power to bring a sense of security.

Sharon knew about the Jihena Demonic Flame, but she had no intention of practicing this magic skill.

After all, she was born in one of the eight martial arts holy places, and was the former saint of the Holy Fire Sect, so she still has some bottom line.

But it’s different with Li Xuan here.

No matter how dangerous the magic skills are, they are just ordinary skills to him.

Yin and Yang Qi can replace any power in the world, so there is no need for those bloody and weird methods of cultivation.

"Master Xuan, to what extent have you practiced this technique?"

Sharon asked curiously.

"It's almost complete."

Li Xuan's answer made Sharon stunned.

"what?"

It seemed like it was just a while ago that she translated the secret text for Li Xuan, but Li Xuan is almost done with mastering this magic skill?
As a former top-third-grade expert, Sharon naturally understood the meaning of perfection.

The Jihena Demonic Flame is a martial art created by Ignis himself. It is still unclear whether Ignis has mastered this magic skill to perfection.

But Sharon never doubted Li Xuan's words, but believed them firmly.

"Is this the savior beast?"

Sharon's eyes lit up.

Afterwards, Li Xuan taught Sharon Jihena the Magic Flame.

Sharon already has a solid foundation in martial arts, and her Qi attributes and Taoism are very suitable for this practice.

In a short while, Sharon had already mastered the skills.

But when it came to actually practicing, Sharon couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Master Xuan, this is your first time practicing Qigong, and you need a bucket of blood essence..."

"Don't worry about it. Just practice your skills and I'll help you with the rest."

As Li Xuan spoke, he pressed a claw on Sharon's back.

Sharon did not hesitate too much. She closed her eyes and began to practice the magic created by Ignis.

At this moment, Sharon's mood was quite complicated.

She sighed silently, and finally thought of the figure again.

Although the ending was not happy, it was indeed the only love in Sharon's life.

Li Xuan felt that Sharon had already practiced the martial arts, and immediately activated the Yin and Yang Qi to transform them, replenishing Sharon with the necessary strength.

This consumption is nothing to Li Xuan.

Yin and Yang Qi itself has the ability to be endless. As long as it is not consumed too much in a short period of time, Li Xuan can recover immediately.

Sharon followed the instructions of the martial arts method and directed the power passed from Li Xuan to her dantian, slowly gathering a trace of the root fire.

Although the process was slow, there was no hindrance.

I don’t know how long it took, but the flame of the root fire was successfully lit in Sharon’s dantian.

But before Sharon and Li Xuan could be happy, something strange happened.

The true energy in Sharon's body moved on its own and surrounded the flame of the root fire that had just formed.

The dark blue energy surrounded the red flames, neither getting closer nor farther away, maintaining a delicate balance.

Li Xuan and Sharon both became nervous.

Li Xuan had never encountered such a situation when he was practicing.

"what happened?"

Li Xuan observed carefully and found something wrong.

The root fire cultivated by Jihena Demon Flame is slowly extinguishing at an imperceptible speed.

The culprit that caused the extinguishing was actually the true Qi in Sharon's body.

After Li Xuan discovered something was wrong, he did not immediately tell Sharon, but asked her to continue practicing while he observed quietly.

After watching for a while, Li Xuan immediately figured out the trick.

"The powerful Yin Fire is suppressing the weak Yang Fire!"

The situation at this moment reminded Li Xuan of the time when he was practicing Yin-Yang Qi.

At that time, he was practicing both the Yang Deficiency Qi Sensing Technique and the Yin Weakness Qi Gathering Technique.

During this process, he needs to maintain the balance of the two techniques. Often, when one technique takes a step forward, the other one has to take a half step back.

After such painful training, Li Xuan finally mastered both techniques in one fell swoop and successfully cultivated the first strand of Yin and Yang Qi.

Sharon's current situation is very similar to Li Xuan's at that time.

The more powerful Yin Fire in Sharon's body was trying to extinguish the Yang Fire that had just ignited.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan immediately had a bold guess.

"Sharon, use all your strength to activate the Jihena Demonic Flame!"

After Li Xuan gave the order, he tried his best to infuse Sharon with enough strength within the range that she could bear so that she would have no worries.

Sharon trusted Li Xuan immensely. Although she discovered something strange going on inside her body, she still followed Li Xuan's instructions and pushed the Jihena Magic Flame to its limit.

In Sharon's dantian, a circle of blue fire surrounded a little red light.

The red light flickered, but it grew slowly and steadily, and the shape of the flame became clearer and clearer.

Li Xuan was delighted to see this change.

But at the same time, a thought flashed through my mind.

"Did Ignis really create this technique just for himself?"
