The Kunlun Saint appeared very innocent. She shrugged her shoulders and said:
"You can't blame me for this. I kept the secret secret and didn't reveal it to anyone. No one knew about this except the Jade Girl and a few of my disciples at the time. I didn't even tell the Goddess~"
You didn't even tell the goddess, but told the Jade Girl, right?
Kunlun Jade Girl vindicated her sisters, saying:
"Young Master Chu was at the battle site on the First Mountain. I only need to go there to capture the remaining aura of the 'Wind God Exterminating Evil Yin'. Even without the Saint's information, I can still discover this secret."
"Then, Lady Jade, did you go to Yichong Mountain to confirm it on the spot?"
Kunlun Jade Girl paused for a moment, and said nothing falsely:
"I'm too lazy to go. The Saint has already told me, so why should I go?"
"..."
So in the end, if the princess didn't tell the secret, the jade girl might not know it.
The former princess, the Holy Lady of Kunlun, has indeed learned some of the sinister tactics of an emperor.
Chu Wuji suddenly didn't want to return or exchange the product anymore, so he decided to keep the little princess. If this girl could get along well with the other two little kids and their personalities could complement each other, then he would not want the big princess!
Fortunately, Chu Wuji will not have too deep contact with the Kunlun Saint. Otherwise, if their relationship becomes closer in the future, everyone will be afraid that she will do something bad in secret and sow discord.
The group moved to the bottom of the deep tiankeng and came to the vicinity of the condensed ice pool.
Before entering the corridor, I heard the strange pig's howl, which was shrill and piercing, as if it was being tortured by being burned with boiling water.
Yao'er, who had transformed into a little fox, and the little princess Huaiwan, shrank in fear just by hearing the noise.
Yao'er didn't even dare to show her head, leaving only her two furry ears exposed on his collar. Yao'er asked weakly:
"Brother, this place is so deep, and the sounds inside are so terrifying. Could this be the legendary underworld?"
The little princess tried to remain calm and swallowed nervously. She was taught not to show weakness, as this would allow people to take advantage of her.
She felt a little envious when she saw Wen Yaoer express her attachment so directly.
Taoist Jiuwu shook his head and said, "I've been to several underworlds, and it's not like this!"
Kunlun Jade Girl was about to continue leading the way when she spotted a suspicious individual. She walked up to Master Zixiang, looked him up and down, and asked:
"Who is this?"
"A mere cultivator from the wilds, a drinking buddy of Elder Jiuwu."
As soon as Master Zixiang's awkward voice sounded, the people around him quickly frowned and looked sideways, wondering about the strangeness of his hobby.
Kunlun Jade Girl felt her ears were nauseous and asked with a stern face:
"What name?"
True Man Zixiang had never thought about it, but Taoist Jiuwu came up with one for his friend:
"Garlic Fragrance Immortal!"
"What a wild name!"
Kunlun Jade Girl didn't want to say a word to this weirdo as it was not good for her ears, so after warning her not to make any noise, she led the way into the condensed liquid ice pool and came to the front of the big pig.
"Come on, show us that sacrificial technique you mentioned and see if you can make something fun."
Chapter 395 Chu's reputation is damaged
This was already the second time I had entered the Condensed Liquid Ice Pond, but that strange and mysterious feeling still lingered in my heart.
As Chu Wuji passed through the entrance corridor, his eyes were still focused on scanning every map and every statue, absorbing nutrients from them.
He didn't look away until he had walked down the corridor. When he looked back to the front, he found that the Kunlun Saint was staring at him.
Although there were no words, the look in his eyes clearly said:
You're stealing my things again!
Chu Wuji ignored it directly. Playing dumb appropriately could save him from a lot of trouble. He soon saw the big pig and said in astonishment:
"It's only been a few days, how come it's already so big?"
Aunt Green Snake also felt incredible. She began to doubt her own perception and said:
"This is strange. I brought it all the way to Kunlun Ruins and didn't sense any demonic energy. It was just an ordinary livestock. How could it grow into this?"
In the corner of the condensed ice pool, a strange pig the size of a baby elephant was imprisoned there by black ice chains.
Its skin was cracked, its muscles had broken through the epidermis, and the flesh was swollen and firm, shaped like a tumor. As its five-toed claws grew fatter, they became more and more human-like, with each toe like a cone.
The strange pig frantically tried to break free from the chains. It was surrounded by broken ice sculptures with blood stains inside, which contained its past "apprentices", but now they had all become food for the strange pig.
With this appearance, it doesn't even belong to the category of monster. Everyone felt that they had broadened their horizons.
The Jiuwu Taoist didn't get too close, for fear of spilling his drink. She said:
"It's filled with resentment. I'm afraid it'll turn into a resentful pig after it dies. Jiujiu, I've seen a five-toed pig before, but I didn't expect it to be raised like this."
As a street urchin, Jiuwu Taoist had heard of the legend of the five-toed pig a long time ago.
Sometimes, the souls of monks would indeed mix in and transfer their sins to innocent people, but more often, it was the ghosts of those who had recently died who had unknowingly entered the pig's womb.
Ordinary five-toed pigs will die soon after being released into the mountains.
They are very ferocious and can easily provoke local wild animals, killing them directly.
Like the giant five-toed pig in front of us, it is also extremely rare, which may be related to the ice sculptures it ate.
Those were the corpses of monks, which directly provided it with nutrients.
Immortal Zixiang said, "After all, this is a body of extremely low aptitude. It has grown to this size and is already overloaded. It will collapse on its own after some time."
Kunlun Jade Girl touched her ears and scolded:
"Shut up and stop talking!"
True Person Zixiang was inexplicably happy. Seeing the Jade Girl of Kunlun in so much pain, she was happy!
The Taoist heart is very happy.
She suppressed her inner feelings and reminded herself, "Don't get carried away. I'll find a chance to disgust her again later to make up for the humiliation of her tricking me into becoming her disciple!"
Chu Wuji no longer paid attention to the pig itself. He took the bone knife from the three-body man and handed it to the Jiuwu Taoist, asking:
"Senior Jiujiu, thank you for trying the sacrifice technique. There is no need to feel burdened, and there will be no loss if you fail."
The Jiuwu Taoist was eager to try. She put away her wine gourd, carefully considered the bone knife, and then waved to her drinking buddy:
"Auntie Garlic, come to work and try out all the Fuqi techniques!"
Aunt Green Snake asked, "So what are we going to do now? Just watch?"
Bai Sujin warned, "Don't do anything rash or bad. Just wait patiently... Yao'er, go to Sister Qing and keep an eye on her. Don't let her run away."
"Good Le!"
Yao'er turned around in Chu Wuzhi's sleeve and rolled around like a little hamster playing in a hole. Yao'er crawled into the other sleeve and hugged the green snake's slender body.
Chu Wuzhi had no right to interfere with the affairs of the Jiuwu Taoist. He knew nothing about the art of spirit writing and sacrifice, so he could only wait for the outcome.
Thinking that he would not be able to understand anything just by watching, he chose to retreat back to the corridor and continue to contemplate the mysteries of these diagrams and statues.
The Kunlun Saint held the little princess's hand and chatted with her:
"Do you want me to take you home? Don't worry about the royal family. I'll just go and give them a few instructions."
The core purpose of her reminder to Yu Jijiu at that time was to warn him not to tell on others.
You are not allowed to have thoughts like "I saw this secret in Kunlun Ruins, I will only tell you, don't tell anyone else."
As a result, after the warning, the royal family of Tianji Kingdom really became worried about their survival and had the idea of marrying a princess to a foreign prince.
Moreover, the execution ability was so strong that the royal family had already discussed the marriage before there was any conflict between Lihuo Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom, and they rushed the girl to Chu Wuzhi's doorstep over a distance of 800 miles.
This is outrageous!
The little princess shook her head. Even though she had received the promise from the Kunlun Saint, she had no intention of asking this elder to support her.
After carefully considering her words, the girl revealed her inner thoughts, explaining why she didn't really want to go home:
"...If I go back, even if I lose my status as the Imperial Princess, the elders in the clan will still have new expectations of me, right? I want to go back when I grow up, and first serve as a hostage in the Lihuo Nation."
The Kunlun Saint blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes like a curtain of pearls covering her bright eyes. The emotions in her eyes were hidden in the hazy light. She smiled unexpectedly:
"Volunteering to be a hostage? Xiao Wan'er, I never thought you would say that. If it were back then, when I was still the Princess of Tianji Nation, I would definitely be angry with you. How could you possibly do that when you are so cowardly?"
The little princess lowered her head apologetically, looking ashamed.
She agreed with the words of the Kunlun Saint and actually met the previous princess. Only then did Huaiwan understand what the academy teacher meant by "natural majesty". This is something that is difficult to learn.
All the manners and expressions that I had practiced diligently in front of the mirror for so long might not be as good as the sharp look that naturally emanated from the Kunlun Saint.
The Kunlun Saint didn't want to be cruel to a child. She stretched out her delicate hand, lifted the girl's chin, and said:
"Don't blame yourself. I'm not blaming you. I just said it was 'back then,' and this isn't back then."
The current princess is indeed not strong enough, but this temperament is innate. No matter how weak she is, she can still develop a sense of responsibility to marry a foreign princess for the peace of the country. This is already remarkable and should not be blamed too much.
"Then cousin Huaiyan, what do you think now?" asked the little princess.
"It's very casual now. Just follow your ideas. If you feel more at ease reading in Lihuo Country, then play there for a while."
The girl felt the approval of this immortal elder, and she felt much better. She said tentatively:
"Cousin Huaiyan, can you give me a few immortal medical books so I can take them to have a look?"
The Kunlun Saint was very perceptive and guessed that this was taken for Chu Wuji. She teased unhappily:
"Xiao Wan'er, you don't even need to marry into a foreign alliance, and you're still expecting your cousin to help you with your dowry?"
"I'm just borrowing it. I'll return it to my cousin after reading it! I like reading various medical classics..."
"Okay, I'll give it to you when you leave, but Xiao Wan'er needs to tell her cousin what she saw at Prince Jing'an's mansion and what Master Chu usually does."
This is the curiosity of the Kunlun Saint. She really wants to know how a self-taught genius like Chu Wuzhi was trained and grew up.
The little princess recalled and said:
"I fish and meditate every day. Occasionally, when I wake up, I suck the little girl to play. Every day, I suck the little princess and the little white tiger until they giggle. You can hear it from several yards away!"
"..."
The Kunlun Saint thought that he would practice hard in the mansion and accept the strict guidance of the heavenly fox day and night. It turns out that he was just playing with the little girl at home?
This guy is indifferent to the temptation of the beautiful girl. Could it be that he actually has a habit of liking little girls?
Chapter 396 The Great Tribulation of the Tai Sui Pig
Chu Wuzhi walked in the corridor again and did not linger there any longer. He took the initiative to return to the vicinity of Jiuwu Taoist and the others.
He leaned against the wall, his eyes lowered, lost in thought, not even noticing someone approaching, which was inconsistent with his keen senses.
Xiao Yao'er, hiding in the sleeve, had her vision limited to the circle of the cuff. She felt like she was looking at the sky from a well, as if the outside world had become smaller.
Suddenly, she saw two long legs as smooth as jade appearing in her small field of vision. The sheen of the stockings was attractive, making the curvy and tight legs look like works of art.
"Brother, two legs appeared!" Wen Yaoer gently scratched the back of his hand with her little paws.
Chu Wuji raised his eyebrows, and when he came to his senses, he noticed the approach of Kunlun Jade Girl. He admired her and said:
"The Jade Girl is quite capable. Even without using any magic, her ability to conceal her aura is still remarkable."
This is not a compliment. With the silent stealth skill that Kunlun Jade Girl just demonstrated, it is still difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect her presence even if they are on guard.
When it comes to a life-and-death battle, the Jade Girl's opponent may not even know how he died.
Kunlun Jade Girl nodded slightly, gladly accepting his compliment, and then jokingly said curiously:
"Why don't you continue to hang out in the corridors and learn some skills?"
Chu Wuji emphasized with a serious face:
"That's a bit biased. It was the talent that broke into my mind, I didn't steal it... I don't read it now because I've seen it all before, and there's nothing new."
