Chapter 573: Losing Before You Get Started
From the second prince Wu Changkong's bland words, the Peach Blossom Fairy heard a shocking news, that is, the emperor of the Xiyu Kingdom seems to have encountered a big disaster, and it is unknown whether he can survive it, and it is very likely that he will die, and they will never see it.
This is a secret that no one in the outside world knows, because the Peach Blossom Fairy and they have never felt anything unusual in the palace all the way.
Now, Wu Changkong's tone was fluttering, and he seemed so light-hearted, as if gossip was commonplace, but because it was so casual, it made the Peach Blossom Fairy experience an unprecedented sense of crisis, and if her answer was slightly wrong, it might be a choice between life and death.
Wu Changkong's words that sounded like an inquiry were actually a threat.
Because when he told the secret, the Peach Blossom Fairy had no choice.
After asking, Wu Changkong quietly waited for the Peach Blossom Fairy's answer, without a hint of urgency, the Peach Blossom Fairy reacted for a while, and immediately continued to reply:
"The folk girl is willing to swear to follow the Second Highness to the death, and serve the Second Highness for the work of dogs and horses!"
Wu Changkong nodded with a cold expression, and asked softly:
"How many people did you come to the road this time?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy immediately replied respectfully:
"Back to the Second Highness, a total of eighty-one people."
Wu Changkong stood up in surprise and said in great surprise:
"How much? Eighty-one? Did I hear it right? ”
The Peach Blossom Fairy repeated again:
"Eighty-one indeed."
Wu Changkong slowly sat down again with a solemn expression, and muttered to himself:
"How can so many people succeed in the level at once?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy cautiously replied:
"Because in the last level, there was a person who skillfully cracked the illusion, so many people successfully broke through the level."
Wu Changkong asked curiously:
"Oh, who has such a great ability?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied truthfully:
"This person is from the Huaxia tribe of Li Yuan Immortal Path, her name is Mu Qianmei."
Wu Changkong's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise:
"Is it the famous Mu Qianmei who listened to the snow building in the past two days?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied respectfully:
"Hui Second Highness, this is the person."
Wu Changkong asked with a smile on his face:
"How do you relate to this person?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied with an embarrassed expression:
"We ...... We're just acquaintances. ”
Wu Changkong seemed to hear the insincerity in her words, so he guessed:
"You're not a general acquaintance, but you're having some kind of holiday, aren't you?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied evasively:
"We ...... Even if there was some small friction in the process of breaking through, there was no deep hatred. ”
Wu Changkong did not continue to delve into this issue, but said softly:
"In this way, those who succeed in this level will be grateful to her!"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied with a bitter face:
"Yes...... I'm very grateful to her. ”
Wu Changkong sighed slightly in his heart, and then asked:
"Then what kind of people are the eighty-one people who successfully broke through this time?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy thought for a moment before replying:
"There are people left over from the Demon Realm and people left over from the Immortal Realm, as well as young geniuses from various tribal alliances."
Wu Changkong looked out of the door and couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that the rivers and lakes that have been calm for thousands of years should be lively again."
The Peach Blossom Fairy didn't answer, and still knelt quietly on the ground with Shen Yao.
After a while, Wu Changkong said to himself:
"Smiling proudly...... How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking! ”
"Listening to the name Xuelou, it is also meaningful, what kind of mood do you need to have this feeling?"
He smiled faintly and asked the Peach Blossom Fairy:
"Have you ever heard the sound of snow falling?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy buried her head and replied:
"No!"
Wu Changkong nodded slightly and said:
"Well, that's the gap."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh:
"This sounds like a song, it reads like a poem, but the details are written about the rivers and lakes and the world, what kind of person will have this courage?"
Peach Blossom Fairy didn't expect Wu Changkong to have such a high opinion of Mu Qianmei, she can write all the rivers and lakes and the world?
When the Peach Blossom Fairy was puzzled, Wu Changkong then asked:
"What is her current cultivation level?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied in an unnatural tone:
"She's ...... now It is the middle of the cardiac phase. ”
Wu Changkong said in surprise again:
"Mid-cardiac? One level higher than you, how old is she? ”
The person that the Peach Blossom Fairy didn't want to talk about was Mu Qianmei, but she didn't expect Wu Changkong to be so interested, so she had to continue to answer bitterly:
She ...... Fifteen years old, and ...... I only started cultivating half a year ago, and when I first participated in the Li Yuan Immortal Path Tribe Competition, it was the early stage of cultivation in the first layer of the Qi Refining Period. ”
Wu Changkong said in disbelief:
"What? Half a year, from the beginning to the middle of the cardiac period? There is such a genius in the world! Even if I'm outside the world, it's unheard of! ”
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but stand up, and after walking back and forth a few steps, he muttered:
"It turns out that there are really such people in the world who are both civil and military, and the Changfeng Venerable back then doesn't seem to have such a literary style and upgrade speed!"
"If only this person could be of my use!"
The Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, the development of things was completely beyond her imagination, she didn't expect that she would become Wu Changkong's person inexplicably, and she didn't expect that this Second Highness would appreciate Mu Qianmei so much, and even moved to win her over.
If Mu Qianmei was also co-opted by His Second Highness, wouldn't her situation become more embarrassing, and it could be heard from His Second Highness's tone that he valued Mu Qianmei more than himself.
If that's the case, how can I compare myself with Mu Qianmei? This was lost at the beginning.
For a while, the Peach Blossom Fairy was full of thoughts and was very sad, she regretted telling the Second Highness about Mu Qianmei, but, after thinking about it carefully, the Second Highness had already asked, if she didn't tell the truth, this matter would soon be exposed, if at that time, the Second Highness found out that she had concealed it, wouldn't the end be even more miserable.
"If I knew this was the case, how good it would be for me to kill her in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm!"
The Peach Blossom Fairy thought to herself in her heart, thinking that at that time, Mu Qianmei was just a cultivator of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and she was like an ant-like existence, and she could kill her in a single thought.
However, if he kills her, he will leave a demon in his heart, which is not conducive to cultivation, and besides, if he kills her at that time, he will not be in the outer heaven now, but will continue to be trapped in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.
Or did she find the key, open the door to the secret realm, and even save herself and Aunt Shen.
The Peach Blossom Fairy was in a very complicated mood, and her expression was cloudy, but fortunately, she was kneeling with her head buried at the moment, and Wu Changkong couldn't see her expression, otherwise, she might have seen more secrets by this shrewd Second Highness.
In fact, at this time, Wu Changkong's mind was not on her at all, and she didn't have to worry about it at all, because the current Wu Changkong, while pacing back and forth, was thinking about whether he could win over Mu Qianmei.
After a while, Wu Changkong sighed deeply, and said faintly:
"Is such a woman a willing to be subordinate? It's a shame. ”
The tone was full of deep loss, which showed that Mu Qianmei's position in his heart was very high, and he didn't even dare to move his mind as a subordinate, the meaning was obvious, that is, Mu Qianmei should be a person who could be on an equal footing with them.
The Peach Blossom Fairy felt an inexplicable sting pain in her heart, why didn't she compare and lose?
As the prince, the second royal highness is a person who can only be looked up to in her mind, Mu Qianmei is just an ordinary woman from the Huaxia tribe who fell to the Li Yuan Immortal Path, this second prince actually admires her so much, and regards her as a person who will not be willing to be subordinate, so what is he?
The Peach Blossom Fairy's heart was full of pain and unwillingness, that Mu Qianmei, who had only been in the Outer Heaven for three or four days, how could she make the second prince of a country so respected, and she was a person who had lived in the Outer Heavens, and she was the Peach Blossom Fairy who took care of the peach orchard for the West Rain Empire, and now this person who made herself kneel down was thinking about the little woman she had never met.
How can you embarrass yourself?
The Peach Blossom Fairy knelt on the ground with a bitter taste, her heart was full of resentment, but she didn't dare to stand up to express her dissatisfaction, she didn't have the courage to talk to the second prince on an equal footing after all.
Wu Changkong, who walked back and forth a few times, finally sat down helplessly, he didn't feel the change in the Peach Blossom Fairy's mood, because his mind was not on the Peach Blossom Fairy, after sighing again, Wu Changkong said with a wistful face:
"Fairy...... Well, I'll call you Wanru in the future! Wanru, since you have joined my camp, I still have to tell you some rules in advance, I won't pursue the matter of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, but I don't want to see that kind of thing a second time. ”
"Don't be careful in front of me, because I'm not a benevolent person, and I only have one chance."
"It doesn't make much sense for you to stay in the palace, since you know the people who came over on the road to heaven, then I will arrange you to the rivers and lakes, form a gang, and then do your best to collect those people, of course, including some young geniuses from outside the sky."
"I don't expect you to surpass Tingxuelou, because you are not at the same level as Mu Qianmei, but I have a request, that is, never be an enemy of Tingxuelou, people like Mu Qianmei, even if they can't be friends, don't become enemies, of course, if you can release your suspicions and become friends, it will naturally be better, I hope you remember this."
"If there is a conflict with Mu Qianmei when trying to win over people, you take a step back unconditionally, and if you have the opportunity in the future, I will try to contact her to see if you can become an ally."
"Okay, that's the end of today's matter, for the rest of the matter, I will arrange someone to help you, establish a gang as soon as possible, and then you will gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, don't use the palace to see me, I will send someone to inform you if there is something."
After saying that, he had already walked to the door, followed the guards guarding the door, and left the small building together.
The Peach Blossom Fairy still knelt on the ground with Shen Yao and did not get up, and the Peach Blossom Fairy said in a humble tone:
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness!"
