Chapter 743 The Fear of the Qilin Fairy

"You have something to ask me? What is it?"

Princess Wuxi looked at the Qilin Fairy in front of her with a wary expression and asked her a question. She did not put down the Holy Sword in her hand at all, and even charged up her power.

Although the girl in front of her carried a mixed scent of herself and Su Yan, letting the princess know that after she said goodbye to Su Yan and left, her little fox must have had some contact with the woman in front of her.

But this doesn't prove anything. She may not have any ill intentions towards Su Yan, but that doesn't mean the immortal in front of her is not hostile towards her. If any unexpected event occurs, she might not even be able to fight back.

"What question do you want to ask?" Fairy Qilin asked thoughtfully. "Actually, it's nothing, just a little puzzled. You are not simple. When you wield the golden longsword, my Heavenly Fate innate supernatural power is completely ineffective against you."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you why you fell in love with Su Yan. Your bloodline is not simple, and you have a foundation that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. In terms of background, you and Su Yan are from the same lineage. Logically speaking, you can live a carefree life on your own without relying on a partner."

With a serious expression, Fairy Qilin looked at Princess Wuxi and voiced her doubts.

"what?"

Princess Wuxi was taken aback, her wary and alert expression momentarily blank. She hadn't expected this powerful being from the celestial realm to ask such a question.

"Please, Princess, answer my question. I am currently facing an incredibly bizarre and terrifying situation. The answer you provide will help me break through this predicament." The Qilin Fairy's expression was serious, not at all like she was joking or teasing, and certainly not related to any jealousy or rivalry. She was as serious as if she were discussing the Dao.

In the eyes of the Qilin Fairy, Su Yan was simply the point of collapse in her timeline. No matter how she tried to escape, she would eventually return to her predetermined fate.

The more she tried to escape, the worse the outcome became. Even in the latest timeline, the Princess Wuxi, who came later, was able to overpower her. She came over while she and Su Yan were having sex, pointing fingers at them and shamelessly trying to correct them.

That wicked little devil will cause me a lot of trouble in the future.

As time went on, the situation worsened, and the Qilin Fairy was now preparing to step in and salvage the situation.

But she needed a reason, a reason that could comfort or deceive herself, only then could the Qilin Fairy convince herself.

"Chick?"

Faced with the strange question from the Qilin Fairy, Princess Wuxi did not answer. Instead, she looked at the Qilin Fairy's long dress with a strange expression and uttered a single word.

The Qilin Fairy's serious expression faltered for a moment: "Does your question involve an answer?"

"No, I'm just a little surprised. I know a little about the Immortal Realm. The great formation in the palace was originally from the Immortal Realm. With the return of the immortal energy, it can now block even True Immortals." Princess Wuxi said with a strange expression, "You were able to invade here silently, so your cultivation must be at least at the level of a god or above."

"I have never seen such a pure-hearted person before, who can still remain unchanged for tens of thousands of years."

The Qilin Fairy blushed and said with embarrassment and annoyance, "We live in different eras, so our views are naturally different. We focus on cultivation and strive for opportunities and good fortune. We have no time to pay attention to romantic affairs. Why should we ask others to do things that we can do ourselves?"

"Getting back to the main point, why would someone like you, a born divine beast, fall in love with Su Yan?"

"."

Princess Wuxi took a few steps back, planting her Holy Sword in the ground to create a barrier. She looked at Fairy Qilin and said thoughtfully, "Why did I fall in love with Su Yan? Your statement is not quite accurate."

"I cannot answer what love is, but I do know that the little fox is someone I don't dislike. He can alleviate my loneliness, trusts me, and brings me joy."

"Of course, now it's not just about mood, it can bring joy in other ways too."

"Don't you like Su Yan?" The princess's answer surprised the Qilin Fairy. She said with a look of astonishment, "But... I clearly saw you two being all lovey-dovey in the lakeside palace, and you even agreed to some very rude and vulgar things with Su Yan."

"If they can do such vulgar and degrading things, can't that be considered liking and loving them?"

“I don’t dislike him, he doesn’t dislike me, and we are both happy to be together and trust each other. That’s enough for me. He’s humble towards me, and I’m naturally happy to give back in return.”

Princess Wuxi waved her hand and said, "Love and affection can't withstand the test of time and boredom. No amount of vows can compare to mutual trust. The fact that he didn't stab me in the back is the best sweet talk he could ask for."

“Everyone has different experiences. For me, romantic love is irrelevant. What I want is family. He and I are from the same lineage. We went through some things together in Xia Yu and have a certain level of mutual trust. Besides, I don’t dislike the little fox.”

The princess's feelings for Su Yan were not love, but rather she genuinely regarded Su Yan as family.

Therefore, when faced with Su Yan's confession, the princess, who was not very perceptive, did not refuse. In fact, when she realized that the little fox had such feelings, she thought of building a nest to respond to Su Yan's feelings.

Even if it's not love, it's still a two-way street. The princess is very willing to reciprocate Su Yan's feelings, rather than just casually offering him some valuables.

If Su Yan hadn't gone to the Immortal Realm, he might have already been living in the Lakeside Palace by the second year.

"Fellow Daoist's answer is unexpected. I originally thought I would hear some stories of life-and-death trials or romantic vows from you, but the final answer I got was about family members making concessions to each other," the Qilin Fairy said with a bitter smile.

"Why love? What is affection? Who knows?" Princess Wuxi spread her hands and said, "For me, the greatest romance is that I don't stab the little fox in the back, and he doesn't secretly sell me off."

"Thank you for your sincere reply, fellow Daoist. I, Fairy Qilin, owe you a favor."

The Qilin Fairy sighed softly, bowed to Princess Wuxi, turned around and walked towards the gate of the Wanshi Palace, her mind a complete blank.

The reasons given by the princess were not enough to make the Qilin Fairy turn around and deal with Su Yan, and confront her inner cowardice and fear in the most direct and brutal way.

The Qilin Fairy could tell that Princess Wuxi wasn't just idly playing games with her, but had seriously considered her question before answering: "It's not about love; I just consider him family."

Hey.

How can such a reason justify my direct and rude treatment of Su Yan?

Dragging family members onto the bed and stripping them naked in a few quick movements—isn't that the work of a pervert?

It's tough. I can't find any excuse or reason to encourage myself to muster the courage to face my fears and weaknesses.

Chapter 744 The Self-Proclaimed Plan of the Xia Dynasty

Watching the departing figure of the Qilin Fairy, Princess Wuxi's expression grew increasingly strange. She had a feeling that the Qilin Fairy and Su Yan seemed to have some kind of story, or perhaps it was a one-sided story of a Qilin licking her boots.

Surely the little fox's charm couldn't be that great? Although the princess admitted that Su Yan's three forms, each with its own unique charm, were enough to satisfy most cultivators' preferences, with the strength of the Qilin Fairy, what kind of handsome man couldn't she hold onto?

There seemed to be no reason for her to love Su Yan so much, but the princess vaguely sensed that when the Qilin Fairy came to ask her such a question, it didn't seem like she really wanted to know what love and affection were. Instead, it seemed like she was looking for a legitimate and reasonable reason to convince herself to get close to Su Yan.

Every living being has a different fate. Just as the princess herself is indifferent to romantic love but longs for familial affection, the Qilin Fairy may also have some unspeakable secrets.

Princess Wuxi's lips curled into a lewd smile, as if she had thought of something amusing, and she said to the Qilin Fairy who had walked to the door of the back room, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."

"Hmm?" The dejected Qilin Fairy turned around and looked at the little female ghost who had called out to her.

"Although I cannot explain love, if you want to understand its mysteries, I can only say that you may need to try to experience it for yourself."

"Just as the Dao is profound and mysterious, without a foundation of knowledge, listening to many great masters preach is not as good as practicing it yourself. If you really want to understand what love is, you might as well practice it yourself."

“Perhaps taking that step will allow you to understand your true self?” Princess Wuxi said with a smile. “Anyway, it’s just a stinking carcass. With your abilities, reconstructing a divine beast body should only be a matter of paying a price.”

"Go and experience it for yourself! To be honest, I'm also curious about what love is."

When the princess lies, she doesn't even blink, spouting one lie after another to deceive people.

When facing male beasts who were not blood relatives or other than Su Yan, Princess Wuxi used only a few words to refer to them, which is enough to show that most of the males were nameless in the princess's mind.

Whether it's love or not, she doesn't care. The princess just wants to use the guise of good intentions to trick the Qilin Fairy into expressing her feelings.

Although it's unknown whether the person the Qilin Fairy favors is Su Yan, ultimately, it's just a matter of a few words for the princess, so even if it isn't him, it's not a loss.

If the Qilin Fairy truly has feelings for Su Yan, then Su Yan has really struck gold this time by my deception.

They could directly acquire a god-level or higher combatant for free, and might even be able to trick them into joining their harem in the future.

After hearing the princess's nonsense, the Qilin Fairy stood there stunned. After thinking for a while, she didn't say anything more, but simply raised her hand to bow to Princess Wuxi again before leaving from the back room.

"Brother! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but I've done my best to fool her." The princess watched the Qilin Fairy's departing figure, a strange, cackling laugh echoing in her heart: "You'd better seize this opportunity, because this old woman is famous for exorcising evil spirits and warding off wind, curing poverty and the inability to move an inch without a strong background!"

Princess Wuxi raised her hand to disperse the long sword in front of her, straightened her clothes slightly, and strode towards the Wanshi Palace.

The civil and military officials have probably fought to a standstill; now it's time for them to step in and announce their final decision.

Neither the civil nor military officials' answers are accepted; both sides are so cowardly and timid. Should they send out vanguards as wedges to infiltrate the Immortal Realm to gather intelligence, and then dispatch a large army of Nightmare Suppression forces after gathering the information? Or should they sacrifice all living beings except Xia Yu to create a tyrannical blood demon, thus establishing a foundation?

Oh.

They want our lives, so it's only fair that we drag them down with us!

The answers you gave were all too lenient and had no deterrent effect whatsoever. It was like a delicate courtesan who, after receiving money from her clients, lay on her bed, teary-eyed and panting, saying: "Young master, please don't overwork yourself!"

The louder you shout, the more excited the other side gets.

"Have you all reached a conclusion?" Princess Wuxi sat back on the throne, leaning against the nine-tailed fox throne as she looked at the civil and military officials below the stage.

The Grand Tutor, his face grim, hid behind a pillar and stuffed his two layers of breast pads back in place. He returned to the front of the civil officials' row, looked at the military officials, snorted coldly, and bowed, saying, "We have not yet decided whether to live or die. We beg Your Highness the Regent to make the decision, or perhaps we can decide after we have decided whether to live or die outside the dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I am not good with words. Please make the decision." The chief military officer, Taibao, did not say much. He simply said that he would listen to Princess Wuxi's decision and would do his best to support her.

"it is good!"

Princess Wuxi said in a deep voice, "Since no one has been able to reach a conclusion, I hereby announce the imperial edict sent back by His Majesty Emperor Wusheng and the decisions made by our royal family. All the princes, retainers, officials of the Demon Suppression Division, and all other officials of Xia Yu, listen to my command."

"Announcing to the world that the Xia Yu Dynasty is willing to accept any race and any living being. The Xia Yu Dynasty will enter a state of self-isolation in three months. At that time, all living beings, including our royal family, will fall into slumber and enter refuge mode."

"During this period, all living beings need to contribute their strength to Your Majesty."

"The Xia Yu Dynasty hereby guarantees that if they win, the wealth of the world will be divided 30/70, with them taking 70%. If they lose, we will ensure that the invading enemy will not have an easy time either; at best, their entire family will be exterminated, and at worst, hundreds of millions of lives will be taken with them."

"This is His Majesty's decree. It has no meaning to us royal family. After you make your choice, polish the decree slightly and announce it to the world."

After announcing the imperial decree, Princess Wuxi glanced indifferently at the audience below, awaiting the ministers' responses.

“In terms of ruthlessness, we trust Your Majesty.” King Xuan looked at the other kings of different surnames, exchanged glances, and then smiled and replied, “We kings of different surnames share the glory and disgrace of the Xia Yu Dynasty. If the Xia Yu Dynasty is lost, we kings of different surnames will be nothing more than pawns on the roadside. We are willing to advance and retreat with the Xia Yu Dynasty.”

"We only hope that Your Majesty will keep your word: if you win, share the spoils of the world with us; if you lose, let the enemy be your corpse!"

Knowing some of the inside details of Xia Yu's plans, the Fairy Physician stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries and make contributions. I can mobilize all my connections and summon the demons who have deep friendships with me, so that the power of all living beings can help Your Majesty resolve your worries."

The Grand Tutor glanced at the Grand Protector and snorted, "We have no objection to this and are willing to follow Your Majesty in battle."

Seeing this, Taibao sneered and said, "We will follow Your Majesty to the heavens and the seas, even to the netherworld and hell, and are willing to serve as the foundation for Your Majesty to build unparalleled glory."

"I would gladly wield my blade against the Lord of the Underworld!"

The Grand Tutor's expression faltered for a moment, and he turned his head to see the Grand Protector, who claimed to be poor at speaking.

You call this being bad at speaking? You're practically licking His Majesty the Emperor's shoes!

"it is good!"

Princess Wuxi let out a strange laugh and said, "Grand Tutor, step forward to receive the order."

"From this day forward, the Xia Yu Dynasty’s treasury will be opened and all forbidden techniques in the Scripture Pavilion will be unsealed. All civil and military officials throughout the land are hereby ordered to select suitable individuals to impart supreme and wondrous techniques, and to do their utmost to improve the cultivation of those who voluntarily participate in this grand plan."

"The celestial beings in heaven are ruthless, taking the lives of all living beings."

"Our Xia Yu Dynasty defies the will of Heaven. They want our lives, so we will kill the immortals!"

"My lords, get to work! Three months is the limit. One wrong step and the world is doomed!"
