When spreading the word to Rosewood and Wu Liang, Tao Xiaozhi and the others were not summoned to the "Immortal Nest" - it was not a place where ordinary people could enter casually, but it was a place where the royal family and nobles lived and were political, and they could not enter without permission, otherwise they would have violated the "fairy law" of the Half-Immortal Island, but they would have to go to prison, let alone Tao Xiaozhi and other captives? They were supposed to be housed in the prison of the fairy egg, but due to the large number of skeletons and ironclad bears, they could not even fit in the prison, so they were locked in a large circular square of worship, which resembled a Roman gladiator's arena. And the weapons in their hands have been confiscated and placed in the arsenal of fairy eggs. Of course, all the belongings of the Rose and the Skull and the Ironclad Bear Soldiers were returned to the treasury of the Demi-Immortal Island.

Although Tao Xiaozhi is in the fairy egg, it does not take much time to get from the fairy egg to the fairy nest, because between this island on the sea and in the sky, there is a very convenient means of transportation: the cloud ladder. The ladder, also known as the cloud car, is actually a large iron pavilion, suspended by a steel rope, driven by a pulley, and driven by a giant beast or manpower (usually these people are slaves), which is like a bucket of a large well, if you look at it from the eyes of modern people, it is more like an "elevator". Therefore, it is very quick to get down from the fairy nest, and it takes a little effort to go up, but it doesn't take many minutes.

It didn't take long for Tao Xiaozhi to be escorted in by the soldiers and knelt in front of the half-immortal queen.

The Half-Immortal Queen gave Tao Xiaozhi a lot of time, obviously a little surprised, and then sneered: "You are the legendary Tao Xiaozhi?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Yes, the handsome and dashing jade tree is the suave Tao Xiaozhi is me~~~"

"Haha~~ This kid is really funny~~ I like it~~~" The half-fairy queen couldn't help laughing, and the wrinkles on her face twisted into a ball again, "I've heard about you, it's better to be famous than to meet, it's really scary to meet!"

Tao Xiaozhi arched his hand and said: "Awards, awards~~"

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "I heard that you can pull out a sword that almost no one can pull out - it is said that this sword was only able to be pulled out by two people before - I don't know if it?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "The rumors of the rivers and lakes cannot be believed, now there are as many liars as the stars in the sky, and the words they say are as beautiful as the stars in the sky, how can you casually believe the rumors of the rivers and lakes?"

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "I wonder if you belong to one of the stars?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "I will shine, but not stars, just gold!"

The Half-Immortal Queen laughed and said, "I can see that you are gold, but no matter how hard the gold is, fire can still melt it, do you understand what I mean?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "But it's melted, and when it solidifies, it's still gold, isn't it?"

"Do you still want to glow?" the Half-Immortal Queen smiled, and everyone could see that it was a forced smile.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Don't dare, don't dare, under such a bright light of the queen, how can I shine? Even if it shines, others can't see it~~~" The aperture on her head was indeed very bright, and he didn't lie.

The Half-Immortal Queen laughed, but it didn't last long, her face immediately became gloomy, and her sharp eyes stared at him and said, "Do you understand what I'm talking about?!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You say, I listen." ”

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "I don't care if these rumors are true or not, the sword is on you, right?"

Tao Xiaozhi shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "No, I was escorted up empty-handed." ”

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "Then where did you put it?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I never use a sword, I play with guns." ”

After escorting them to the island, all the weapons were surrendered to the armory, which of course was carefully examined several times, and the Rose and Skull and other ships were turned upside down, but the Kirin Fire was still not found.

The Half-Immortal Queen said angrily, "Where the hell did you put it?!"

Tao Xiaozhi said without changing his face: "I don't have the unicorn fire you said!"

The Half-Immortal Queen sneered: "I didn't mention the Qilin Fire at all, don't make a fool of yourself, let's hand it over obediently!"

Tao Xiaozhi doesn't speak, and smart people who make mistakes don't choose to be silent at this time, because the more they cover up, the bigger the loophole! Isn't silence equivalent to acquiescence?

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "Do you know what will happen if you don't hand it over?"

Tao Xiaozhi still didn't speak.

"Die, you all have to die!" the Half-Immortal Queen continued, "Is it worth it to take so many lives for the sake of a sword?"

"You want to kill so many people for a sword, do you think it's worth it?" Wu Liang, who had always been very calm, loudly scolded the half-immortal queen in front of the court, and was immediately knocked down to the ground by two guards.

The Half-Immortal Queen said angrily: "Pull it out and cut his skeleton down!"

"Wait!" Tao Xiaozhi said loudly, "I'm not allowed to hurt him, I'll just say it!"

The Half-Immortal Queen stopped the guards, and everyone was looking at Tao Xiaozhi.

Tao Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and said, "I threw it into the sea。。。。。。。。 ”

"What?" the Half-Immortal Queen, like the others, looked surprised, but soon she burst out laughing, "How is it possible, such an important thing, how can you just throw it into the sea?

Tao Xiaozhi said lightly: "It's true. ”

The Half-Immortal Queen said, "Are you lying, I always have a way to know-"

"Speak. ”

"I can torture everybody, and if everybody is what you say, then I'll believe it's true. "The Half-Immortal Queen seems to have found a way.

Tao Xiaozhi sneered: "But you still can't find the Qilin Fire, right?"

The Half-Immortal Queen said: "Actually, Qilin Fire, I really don't want it to be useful, but if you are so stubborn again, I want you to die!"

Tao Xiaozhi didn't speak.

The Half-Immortal Queen glared and continued, "If you dare to say a lie or nonsense again, I will cut your tongue off!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "If I hand over the Qilin Fire, will you really let us go?"

The half-immortal queen said: "I am not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately, let alone a person who does not speak well, otherwise, this is against my beliefs, betrays the gods, and affects my Taoism!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Many people can say that, don't treat me as a three-year-old child。。。。。。。 ”

The Half-Immortal Queen will point her hands diagonally to her temples and half-close her eyes, as if to salute someone (this is a demi-immortal's salute to the belief in the gods, which is a special etiquette) and say, "I swear to the gods of heaven: If what I say is even the slightest false, I will be damned!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "This is not enough-"

The Half-Immortal Queen said unhappily, "Then what do you want?"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "I want you to do the following things: 1. Repair the Rose and the Skull and prepare the necessary food for us to go to the Holy Spirit in situ. 2. Return all the goods that have been taken from us. 3. Treat us like guests. 4. The first thing must be done within ten days. Do the above four points, and then I will hand over the Qilin Fire, what do you say?"

"Good!" said the Half-Immortal Queen, "but—you must also swear before the gods that I will believe you!"

Tao Xiaozhi sneered: "But I don't believe in God's 。。。。。。 ”

A light flashed in the eyes of the half-immortal queen and said: "This is not important, as long as you swear in front of the gods, if you break the contract at that time, I will have a reason to kill you, and the gods will not blame me!"

Tao Xiaozhi followed her example: "I also swear to the gods: if what I say today doesn't count, let the gods in the sky punish me for not being able to soak in a girl for the rest of my life, and the most important thing is to die at the hands of the gods or the half-immortal queen!"

The Half-Immortal Queen laughed and said, "This oath is quite special。。。。。。。 Good boy, I hope you're not joking. ”

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "Even if I dare to play with you, I don't dare to play with the gods~~~"

Although the Half-Immortal Queen and Tao Xiaozhi laughed happily, they couldn't laugh no matter how much they wanted to laugh, their expressions were quite complicated, and they didn't know if they were sorry for the Qilin Fire or happy that their lives could continue.

The Half-Immortal Queen said to the old servant beside her: "Pass the order, release all the people of the Rose and the Skull, and put on a feast, I will entertain these guests from the sea!"

Xue Gui whispered in Tao Xiaozhi's ear, "Do you really want to hand over the Qilin Fire?"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "I think it's a good deal." ”

Xu Zhuo looked at Tao Xiaozhi with a puzzled expression, and then sighed and said, "I really don't know if you are a good businessman。。。。。。。。 ”

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "Whether I am a good businessman or not, but this is just business. ”
