Chapter 111: Dignity
Li Chenghuang followed behind Wei Lai with a look of resentment.
Looking at this young man who seemed to be a few points younger than himself confronting the evil creatures that kept popping up from everywhere in front of him, the gratitude that swelled up in Li Chenghuang's heart before had long since disappeared at this moment.
"A woman like me?"
"What's wrong with a woman like me?"
"Can there be a better woman in this world than me?"
She kept muttering to herself in the bottom of her heart, her feet kicking the stones at her feet as if she were angry.
What she didn't realize was that it was precisely because of the existence of the King of Wei who made her hate that the fear that had been permeating her heart before had dissipated a lot unconsciously, so that at this moment she even had the leisure to lose her temper.
"Hey, I'm hungry!" Li Chenghuang, who was thinking more and more angry, suddenly stopped and said loudly to Wei Lai in front of him.
Wei Lai didn't look back, and reached out and threw the cloth bag containing steamed buns from his arms into Li Chenghuang's hand.
Regarding Wei Lai's attitude, Li Chenghuang was naturally full of dissatisfaction.
She opened the cloth bag, looked at the remaining half steamed bun inside, took out half of it, and bit it viciously, as if she was treating the innocent steamed bun in front of her as some hateful guy.
"How long do we have to go? After eating steamed buns, the hunger that lingered in Li Chenghuang's belly disappeared a lot.
She looked at the last remaining steamed bun and swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously in her mouth, she never thought that one day she would salivate for a steamed bun.
Wei Lai replied without looking back: "I don't know." ”
And after saying this, he suddenly stood still, Li Chenghuang's heart tightened, secretly thinking that there was some trouble, and immediately looked around vigilantly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Lai didn't say anything, but just summoned the four evil spirits and said, "You guys keep an eye on the surroundings, and tell me at any time if there is any abnormality." ”
After speaking, Wei Lai sat down in place.
"I need a break, don't run around. Wei Lai looked at Li Chenghuang again and said.
Li Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, they had been walking in this abyss of sin for a long time, although there was no sun and moon alternate here, it was difficult to measure how long it had passed, but it could be estimated that they had been walking here for eight or nine hours.
Li Chenghuang felt weak just by walking down, not to mention that Wei Lai had to deal with the yin things that came out from everywhere from time to time.
She looked at Wei Lai, who was panting, and couldn't help but feel a little compassionate.
Without much hesitation, he handed over the last steamed bun in his hand.
"No, keep it for yourself. Wei Lai waved his hand and said: "I estimate that we have only walked less than half of this great abyss, the road ahead will be more difficult to walk, and the yin matter will be more powerful, you save some physical strength, if I am too busy to take care of myself, you will have to find a chance to save your life." ”
Li Chenghuang blinked: "But, if you don't eat enough, how can you have the strength to deal with those yin things?"
Wei Lai didn't seem to expect that Li Chenghuang, who had vividly interpreted a few words from the beginning of the meeting, would say such a thing.
He raised his head and glanced at Li Chenghuang with a strange expression: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is also a person who will understand the suffering of the people." ”
Li Chenghuang's little compassion that had just risen immediately disappeared at that time, she threw the cloth bag on Wei Lai, and said angrily: "Do you like to eat or not!"
Wei Lai lifted the cloth bag with a calm face, put it in his arms and put it away, and did not mean to eat it at all.
Although Li Chenghuang was annoyed with Wei Lai's sneering and sat aside alone, the corner of her eyes was poured into Wei Lai's body without hesitation, seeing Wei Lai like this, her heart was inexplicably angry: "You don't eat anything to make me angry?"
"I'm not here to save you, but to save Ningzhou, so you really don't have to feel guilty. "In every sense of the word. ”
Li Chenghuang frowned when she heard this, for some reason, she didn't like to be Wei Lai Wei Lai always emphasized his motives for protecting her.
Maybe it's vanity, or maybe it's just a simple desire to refute Wei Lai.
Li Chenghuang suddenly asked: "Since you care so much about the people of Ningzhou in your mouth, then why do you want to do such a thing." ”
"Huh?" Wei Lai was stunned and looked at Li Chenghuang in confusion.
"You bumped into me in front of your mansion, and you know what that will bring. That behavior is very different from what you are saying and doing now. Li Chenghuang said slowly.
The corners of Wei Lai's mouth hooked into a smile, he turned his head to look directly at Li Chenghuang and asked, "Does Her Royal Highness the eldest princess know what is the most important thing for people?"
Li Chenghuang never thought about this problem, after all, for her, there is nothing in this world that is difficult to obtain, even if it is the cultivation of the Eight Great Sages, in a few months, when she reaches the age of twenty, the Eastern Immortal Palace will send immortals to give her Daigo empowerment and help her ascend to the position of the Eight Great Sages.
This sounds incredible, after all, even if it is a holy son born in the Heavenly Que Realm, it will take countless energy and time to touch that holy gate.
But for the Great Chu royal family, who had an unimaginable intimacy with the Eastern Realm Immortal Palace, this was just a matter of an eye.
She thought about it carefully, and then used her knowledge to give the answer she thought was right: "Cultivation is right, right, money?"
Wei Lai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's dignity." ”
"Ningzhou can exchange a lot of things for the opportunity to live, but those things will not include dignity. ”
Probably when he said this, Wei Lai's face was too solemn, and Li Chenghuang couldn't help but be stunned.
And after perceiving such a strange state of herself, she felt a little resentful in her heart, so she said at that time: "It sounds good, I have heard of you before I came, pretending to be crazy and stupid for several years, and bowing down to your father and mother every day, these are also your so-called dignity?"
"It's not. Wei Lai shook his head.
Li Chenghuang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly thought that he had finally found an opportunity to fight this guy.
After all, along the way, Li Chenghuang seems to be obeying Wei Lai's orders, for her, the eldest princess who even the Great Chu Emperor has to let her, such an experience is certainly not superior, and now, she naturally has to grasp the opportunity in front of her to reverse the previous "decline".
For this reason, she cleared her throat and was about to say something, but Wei Lai's voice sounded again.
"That's certainly not my dignity. Wei Lai said.
His eyes shone brightly but coldly.
"That's my father's dignity. ”
In other words, blood debt and blood repayment are the last and most important dignity of every living being. ”
"And for the sake of this dignity, there is always someone who has to pay something. ”
