Chapter 239: Tortoise and Hare Race
Chapter 239: Tortoise and Hare Race
Princess Xuan threw the bow and arrow in her hand, turned around and left, "Don't play, don't play, it's boring." It's just bullying!"
Mu Chen smiled slightly, didn't mention the matter of betting, and said, "Since you don't play anymore, then don't forget to take me to see Mr. He Tingxian tomorrow." β
"Ah, I can't forget it. But the bet just now doesn't count, let's play something else!"
"What else are you playing?"
Princess Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Let's play a race!"
After that, Princess Xuan pulled Mu Chen to a wide place like a horse farm next to the Dream Palace, and then said: "Here, it is the race field specially built for me by my father, and some animals are raised, let's each choose one and race on this track to see who can win!"
Mu Chen looked at the wide field in front of him, with various obstacles on the straight track and a strong fence built next to it. This kind of skillful and playful track, Emperor Zhengdi actually built it specifically for Princess Xuan, which shows how favored the latter is!
Mu Chen took a deep breath and followed Princess Xuan to a building next to the track, and found that small rooms had been opened up here, which contained various animals such as cows, pigs, horses, sheep, snakes, turtles, tigers and leopards, but one feature was that these animals could only be called animals, not fierce beasts, and the strongest tigers and leopards among them were barely considered first-order fierce beasts.
Princess Xuan smiled and said, "This is my favorite place to come, sometimes I will choose two cuties to go to the track to race, and if you win, you will have something to eat, and if you lose, you will not have it." The bet just now doesn't count, let's do it all over again. β
Saying that, Princess Xuan smiled slyly, "Lady first, I'll choose first, and then you." β
After speaking, Princess Hyun walked forward, and when she walked by, some of the animals next to her made flattering sounds, as if they wanted to be favored by Princess Hyun and go to war. Obviously, this kind of "race" game, Princess Xuan must be played often, and every time the winner gets a lot of food. So much so that these animals have formed a conditioned reflex.
Princess Hyun walked straight ahead to a small house at the end. There is about ten square meters of space, and the floor is covered with a soft and thick carpet with some blades of grass on it. The rabbit, which has always been pale blue, is in the middle of the room, sitting proudly in the center of the room, and there is some smart color in the small eyes!
"Qingqing, it's time for you to play again today, wait a minute, if you win, I'll give you two jade radish!"
Princess Xuan reported the rabbit named Qingqing, and then said. And after the rabbit heard the jade radish, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes that made Mu Chen mutter.
At the same time, Mu Chen's heart was also pumping. Feiyu radish is a unique variety produced in a small country far away, similar to Feiyu, nourishing the body, a Feiyu radish, its value is equivalent to ten times the volume of a hundred years old ginseng. And Princess Hyun actually came to feed the rabbits!
"It's your turn, the jackals, tigers and leopards here are up to you to choose except for the birds!"
After Princess Xuan finished speaking, she looked like she was winning, and Mu Chen's eyes rolled, smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and then replaced the cat-type beast spirit shadow with animal control, and then used animal control, an indescribable, formless and qualitative mental power shrouded the rabbit Qingqing's body, and you can see that the rabbit's light eyes flashed slightly, and then became foggy, obviously controlled by Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's face turned slightly pale. Controlling this rabbit turned out to be more than the mental power consumed by controlling the white-lipped bamboo leaf, black widow and tarantula before, and it consumed two percent of Mu Chen's spiritual power at once, plus the consumption of switching spirit shadows before, Mu Chen's spiritual power was suddenly left with thirty percent.
His face was slightly pale, but a smile appeared on Mu Chen's face, and he asked, "You just cheated on that game just now, but you can't deny it anymore." If you lose again."
Princess Xuan didn't care and said, "If I lose, you can dispose of it, but if you lose, I will draw a turtle on your face every day!"
Mu Chen thought that his face was painted with black ink and the appearance of a turtle, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he immediately smiled slightly: "I don't need to dispose of it." If you lose, then how about accompanying me to listen to Teacher He Tingxian's lectures every day?"
Princess Xuan frowned, as if she thought of the boredom in the Crane Ting Immortal class, but then thought of the turtle painted on Mu Chen's face, and felt that she would definitely not lose, Princess Xuan laughed, "Okay, a word is a certainty!"
"A gentleman's word!"
"Whip the horse!"
Mu Chen got Princess Xuan's promise, smiled slightly, looked around the room, and then saw a palm-sized green-haired turtle, thought about it, and took out the turtle, dragged it in the palm of his hand, and controlled it with his ability.
"That's it. Princess Xuan, let's go to the track. β
Li Xuan looked at the naΓ―ve turtle in Mu Chen's palm in a daze, and said in astonishment: "You actually chose it?"
Mu Chen nodded, "What's the matter, is there a problem?"
Princess Xuan held back a smile and waved her hand, "No problem, you can choose whatever you want, just wait for the next loss and don't be reckless." β
"That's exactly what I'm saying. β
Coming to the arena, the two put the tortoise and the rabbit in a straight line, and the palace maid Xiaoyi was next to her to announce the start. Princess Xuan squatted and stroked Qingqing's soft hair and said, "You are doomed, Qingqing is a rare first-order spirit beast, the Wind Rabbit, who can naturally control the power of the wind. It's not enough to attack, but it's enough to speed up. Its instantaneous burst speed could even surpass that of a third-order leopard beast. You turtle can't win. β
Mu Chen smiled. "Just try it. β
Xiao Yi on the side announced the start, the green-haired turtle crawled forward under Mu Chen's control, and Princess Xuan waved her hand arrogantly, "Let you climb for a while, and then my Qingqing will be able to catch up at once." β
Mu Chen smiled slightly and did not speak. And Princess Xuan was babbling in Qingqing's ear, nothing more than words like "must win", "catch up immediately", and "reward Feiyu radish".
A few minutes passed, and Mu Chen's turtle climbed a third of the way. Princess Xuan will let go gently, "Go Qingqing, I decide, if you win, I will reward you with one more jade radish!"
Princess Xuan smiled happily, but she didn't notice that this time, with her words, there was no longing in Qingqing's eyes. It's a cold one.
Mu Chen showed a hint of teasing in his eyes, smiled secretly, and gave Qingqing an order to "move side by side with the turtle", and then saw that the light cyan hair on Qingqing's body emitted a layer of faint fluorescence, and then a breeze blew from nowhere, rippling his fur. With a kick of its legs, it directly crossed a distance of nearly ten meters, and in just a few breaths, it had already come to the side of the green-haired turtle.
"That's it, Qingqing, come on, rush to the finish line!"
Princess Xuan cheered, but immediately found that after Qingqing reached the turtle's side, she did not maintain the speed just now, but followed the turtle's side, walking slowly step by step.
Princess Xuan didn't notice it, turned her head to Mu Chen and smiled: "Qingqing is being humble, I will surpass you immediately!"
Mu Chen shrugged and was noncommittal.
The tortoise-hare race continues. A turtle and a rabbit kept moving forward at a synchronized pace, and it took ten minutes before they approached the end.
"Qingqing, stop playing, hurry up and jump over!"
Princess Hyun shouted a little anxiously. And Qingqing heard Princess Xuan's voice, turned around, stood up and looked at it for a while, and then turned around and ran in the direction of Princess Xuan, and the green-haired turtle had already crawled across the finish line with a hum
In the short seconds that the turtle crossed the finish line, Wind Rabbit Qingqing showed full speed and then jumped into Princess Xuan's arms. Mu Chen smiled slightly, pointed to the turtle that just stopped at the finish line and said, "Princess, I think this game can be regarded as my victory?
Mu Chen accentuated the sound on the word "again". Princess Xuan nodded with a bitter face, "Isn't it just to see the teacher, I'll just go." β
Immediately, Princess Xuan lowered her head and patted the rabbit in her arms, "It's all you, hum!
At this time, Mu Chen had already canceled the ability. The rabbit's green ears shrugged down, his eyes were full of innocence, and he didn't know what was going on. Every time he wins a game, the owner will give it jade radish to eat, but why did he lose today?
Looking at the puzzled rabbit and the puzzled Princess Xuan, Mu Chen laughed, turned his head and left, and didn't forget to say before leaving: "Princess, I'll come to you again tomorrow." β
Life in the palace is pleasant.
As the captain of the team, Mu Chen doesn't have to participate in patrols, and every day is to practice boxing, practice, accompany Princess Xuan to attend classes and play with the princess.
Life is so fulfilling, a few days have passed, Mu Chen feels that his understanding of Wing Chun has at least become smaller, and Bajiquan has also made considerable progress. Some questions that Mu Chen couldn't figure out by himself, Mu Chen asked He Tingxian under the pretense of Princess Xuan's mouth, and he could always get accurate answers. With such a teacher who can solve puzzles, it's no wonder that Mu Chen's progress is not fast.
In addition, every day, Princess Xuan has to pull Mu Chen to play the so-called animal race. However, Mu Chen, who has animal control abilities in his hands, has never lost. Fortunately, there was no agreement on any bet in the subsequent games, otherwise Princess Xuan would have lost her family a long time ago, and what Mu Chen has been using is the green-haired turtle, but no matter what other animals are, they can't outrun this turtle. Princess Xuan was angry and anxious at the same time, but also full of doubts.
Another day, Princess Xuan took Mu Chen to the arena again, holding the green-haired turtle in her hand, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, "Mu Renjiu, this time I use this turtle, you will lose!"
