It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

On the surface, Xia Li had no problems and was an innocent victim.

But if you think about it more carefully, it is impossible for the other party to escape from the White Tiger Clan's residence safely, especially after being poisoned by the April Secret Wine.

There is a trap, so be careful!

This is what Ming Chuyao thought of after Shengsheng appeared and Dong Chong revealed Shengsheng's identity.

But Xia Li is of the same clan after all. Adhering to the belief of protecting his clan, no matter what the conspiracy is, Ming Chuyao must rescue the other party first... If it is verified that he is indeed an enemy, it will not be too late to kill him later.

——Is she testing me?

——Wow, I thought he was a naive person who devoted himself to Taoism.

Ming Chuyao has hidden thoughts.

However, what kind of woman is Shengsheng?

The exquisite heart has seven holes.

Whether it's observing people's expressions, judging people's attitude, or speaking sweet words, he is the best in the world.

Ming Chuyao was indeed cautious and thoughtful...but Xu met Shengsheng. Shengsheng didn't know what Ming Chuyao was thinking or what she was going to do, after all, she didn't have the ability to read minds.

but.

Judging by the usual logic, Shengsheng could vaguely guess what the other party was afraid of.

"In this case......"

"I should be honest. Since Ming Chuyao rescued me despite her doubts about my loyalty, it shows that this woman has a strong character and upright morals. She is the kind of person who is trustworthy."

The moment he was asked, thoughts flashed through Xia Li's mind faster than thunder.

"But... her two maids, Dong Chong, are very clever but cannot defeat me, Sheng Sheng, and their cultivation is not a threat. But Xia Cao, who has not spoken a word, is asking the Fifth Supreme Immortal. If she has any bad intentions, it will be a big trouble."

"In this case, I can't be 100% honest. I still have to keep some cards in reserve, such as the Yin Ning Knife."

It was just a short moment, enough for Xia Li to think of these.

After Ming Chuyao asked the question, she deliberately hesitated and looked at Ming Chuyao, as if she was grateful for the other party's life-saving grace, and then she gritted her teeth and replied.

"I didn't escape. Actually... Actually, I did."

"Kill Qu Xuan!"

Chapter 48 The Secret of Beauty

"what--?!"

Ming Chuyao and Dong Chong exclaimed at the same time, and the maid Xia Cao, who had remained silent and expressionless most of the time, also looked at Shengsheng with surprise.

"You, you're bragging!"

"How can a person at the Taoist Body Realm kill a person at the Immortal Ladder Realm? Besides, Qu Xuan has so many guards who will rush over immediately if there is any unusual movement."

Dong Chong asked directly what was in his mind.

Although Ming Chuyao hid the shock on her face, there was still a lot of disbelief and doubt in her eyes.

indeed.

If there was no Evil Tiger Blade, and if there was no use of the Taotie Elephant Method contained in the Evil Tiger Blade to devour [Yin Ning], this ancient broken sword with the ability to defeat all monsters... coupled with the blockade of the Red Cicada, these three conditions would be almost impossible to meet.

Shengsheng couldn't kill the White Tiger Princess successfully no matter what.

Even if you kill him, you must be buried with him!

However, there are such bizarre accidents and coincidences in the world. Speaking of the fragments of the Yinning Knife, they were obtained a long time ago.

At that time, the black dragon had not fallen from the sky, and Cui Leng’s hundred-year dream had not yet begun.

Sheng Sheng was just a young warrior who had just graduated from the seventh rank and entered the martial realm. Someone gave her a sword called "Slashing White Snake". The sword core of the Slashing White Snake Sword contained a fragment of the Yin Jing Knife. At that time, Sheng Sheng wanted to hide this weapon in the grave of an old friend, bringing a good story to future generations.

Thanks to Chi Chan's intervention, he failed.

——Chanchan, did you already calculate what would happen today?

——How horrible, how horrible!

Shengsheng couldn't help but be amazed.

Well, actually, she was feeling a little depressed after thinking about where the Yin Ning Knife came from, so she made a deliberate joke.

In this way, you can quickly adjust your mindset.

After all, Ming Chuyao has doubts about her chance encounter with her, and Shengsheng must quickly dispel this suspicion, otherwise she will ask many questions, since they are both of human blood.

When the power of Niehu Yinyin fails, Shengsheng may not be able to defeat the opponent in one round, woooooo~!

"Qu Xuan is dead, and the news will be out soon. How can I say such a thing casually?"

"Besides, Qu Xuan is a princess of the tribe. I will definitely be hunted down by the White Tiger tribe's strong men in the future. What's the point of bragging like this?"

Shengsheng asked two questions in a row, which dispelled most of the doubts of the three people in front of him.

Although it is still a little hard to believe, logically speaking, this statement is indeed correct.

Also.

Ni Xuan is the beloved daughter of Ni Yingshao, the eighth pillar. In the circle of "princess of the clan", the consequences of killing her are a hundred times more serious than killing anyone else.

Because from now on, Xia Li will most likely face the revenge of a top-level warrior!

It’s really scary to think about it…

but.

After hearing Xia Li's shocking words, Ming Chuyao's vigilance against her was weakened by more than half, and when the news of Qu Xuan's murder was confirmed, she naturally had no doubts anymore.

After all, anyone who dares to kill the demon princess's fellow tribesmen with his own hands can be called a true hero.

Ming Chuyao was amazed and also felt a bit of admiration.

Of course, all this has to be true!

"Then how did you kill that damn princess, with so many White Tiger Guards around?"

After reluctantly believing what Shengsheng said, Dong Chong immediately asked further questions.

This was also what Ming Chuyao was curious about. Even the taciturn maid Xia Cao was staring at Xia Li silently, waiting for her answer.

——It seems that I have to reveal something.

At this time, Shengsheng actually had two plans.

One is to part ways with Ming Chuyao and the other two and go on his own. In this way, he doesn't have to reveal any information and can just say that he used a one-time secret treasure to get away with it.

Another plan...

Just travel with three people.

This naturally has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Sheng Sheng is unfamiliar with Ju Fangyunlu. Although Chi Chan acts as if he knows all the secrets, Sheng Sheng can conclude that Chi Chan is out.

Old Chichan didn’t have much knowledge about the present-day Jufang Yunlu. The things she was familiar with probably dated back many generations.

If we rely on Chichan to lead the way, we might end up leading Shengsheng into the White Tiger Clan's lair.

Just thinking about that scene, how sad and refreshing it is!

The Yao trio in the early Ming Dynasty must be well-informed, at least much better than Shengsheng and Lao Chichan.

In addition, the combat power of Ming Chuyao's three-man team is quite strong. There are five supreme immortals accompanying them. If they can please Ming Chuyao, they will have a chance to escape even if the strong men of the White Tiger Clan are chasing them.

No matter how you think about it, it's much safer than Shengsheng walking by herself.

After all, she didn't know what mother Qu Xuan's methods were. What if she came up with a secret method or secret treasure to lock the aura of the person who killed her blood relatives? There are all kinds of secret methods and secret treasures. Chi Chan couldn't even guarantee it, so how could she dare to take the risk without Sheng Sheng?

only.

In this case, I have to reveal some secrets to the trio in order to gain their trust.

Otherwise, if Sheng Sheng really encountered a situation where a strong man from the White Tiger Clan was attacking, he would definitely have to use the Yin Ning Sword to fight back. By then, no matter how he explained it, there would still be some distance in his heart.

——Once there is a gap, it will be difficult to get close~

Xia Shengsheng, the master of picking up girls, secretly sighed.

after all.

The Mingjin Pot relies on absorbing the other party's seven emotions to give back to the owner of the pot, so the owner of the pot naturally needs to be well versed in human nature.

Sheng Sheng didn't know how many generations of pot owners there were, and Chi Chan had never told her, but Sheng Sheng could guarantee... among all the pot owners in history, Xia Li was definitely the best in terms of controlling people's hearts.

Therefore, he decided to make friends with Ming Chuyao and use the military force around him as temporary protection.

Shengsheng knew she had to be honest.

I have to make Ming Chuyao feel that I have nothing to hide from her and that I am an honest friend and fellow traveler who is worthy of close friendship!

"actually......"

After Dong Chong asked, Sheng Sheng hesitated for a moment.

He looked at the three of them carefully, as if wondering whether they were trustworthy. After a long while, he finally spoke in a deep voice.

"I was able to kill Qu Xuan, not relying on my own strength."

This kind of behavior is performed very naturally.

Ming Chuyao felt that Xia Li trusted her very much...

Because people can empathize and trust each other, if a person trusts you completely from beginning to end, even if you don't deliberately think about it in a certain way, you will unconsciously think that the other person is a very reliable guy.

Shengsheng, this is exactly the effect we want.

of course.

This is just the first try, and it is definitely far from the final effect, but at least it can prevent Ming Chuyao from being too wary and rejecting a stranger like Shengsheng.

"You have heard the rumors. You should know my origins."

"Yes, I come from one of the East China Sea Islands, called Tushan. It is a remote country that is more isolated than other island countries."

Shengsheng began to tell the story. Her voice was as sweet as a golden oriole. Although it was not as good as Ning Zhuzi's bluebird singing, it was also the most pleasant to the ear in the world.

Her face was solemn, her expression was calm, and there was sincerity in her eyes and eyebrows.

And she is so beautiful...

When such a beauty tells you her past and the little secrets deep in her heart with a sincere look on her face, anyone would listen carefully, and Ming Chuyao and her maid are no exception.

"...At that time, I didn't even touch the threshold of the Tao. I followed the elders of my family into an underground palace. The underground palace was vast and ancient, and there were countless murals in it."

Chapter 49: Confessing one's true feelings (secrets) can indeed bring people closer together

Shengsheng described the local customs and practices that he had seen in Changgu's memory fragments, as if he had really seen related murals in some ancient and unknown underground palace.

Although she was making up a story, it had a source, so it sounded particularly real...

These descriptions opened the eyes of the three Yao girls in the early Ming Dynasty. Through Shengsheng's mouth, they seemed to see one magnificent ancient scene after another.

In this shocking story, Shengsheng "confessed" her greatest adventure and secret.

——Nameless divine sword!

Yes.

Shengsheng trusts Mingchuyao and the other two so much that she has no reservations.

"...When I fell into the trap, there was no fire, water or weapons inside, but a bottomless deep hole. I fell down, and it took about half an hour before I reached the bottom. I was so panicked that I thought my life was over, but at this moment!"

The girl controlled her voice, making it short and sharp.

The three women who were listening intently immediately held their breath, wanting to know what had happened in such a fatal situation.

But Shengsheng paused, because she was very good at breaking up the story... cough! Because she was very good at controlling emotions, and knew how to make the three Mingchu Yao girls believe the story after hearing it.

There must be a small pause here to hold the other person's heartstrings while giving them time to think and immerse themselves in the story.

Only in this way can we achieve our goals perfectly.

Of course, Shengsheng did not let Ming Chuyao and the other two wait too long, so as to prevent them from being distracted from the narrative atmosphere that was created with great difficulty.

she continued.

"...My back felt heavy, and then something extremely soft held me up. How can I describe the feeling? It was like the softest silk brocade in the world, or like the soft clouds in the sky."

"I immediately turned around and saw that it was a ball of red light, changing into various forms of swords, spears, and halberds. At that time, I had not even entered the first level of the Way of Enlightenment, so how could I recognize it? I was completely confused and bewildered..."
