Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 423 Emerging from the Water

Feng Huaxian hurriedly grabbed Ping'er's hand, but instead grabbed Ping'er's hand in return, and said urgently, "Ping'er, please help me! I don't want to and can't have a relationship with the Prince of Yan! If I become his woman, I won't be able to stay here!"

Seeing Feng Huaxian's anxious expression, Ping'er narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Don't you know that you have to finish the wine you bought, even if you get drunk to death? And don't expect others to pay for it!"

Upon hearing Ping'er's words, Feng Huaxian's expression changed drastically. She then knelt down with a thud, grabbing Ping'er's skirt and pleading, "Please, Ping'er, help me! I really can't have a relationship with him! I swear I will never tell anyone! If you want money, I can give you all my money!"

"Do you think I'm here for the money?" Ping'er sneered.

Seeing that she couldn't bribe Ping'er with money, Feng Huaxian hurriedly said, "If this isn't enough, I have jewelry, I can give it all to you!"

"Hehe, Feng Huaxian, you're so selfish!" Ping'er chuckled. "I really don't understand, if you can't have a relationship with him, why do you still sell him wine? Or do you think the Prince of Yan is too good for you to even enter your room?"

Feng Huaxian's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Ping'er sneered, "You want me to clear your name for you? Have you ever considered that I am just a servant? What merit do I have to be favored by the Prince of Yan?"

Upon hearing Ping'er's words, Feng Huaxian hurriedly interjected, "Ping'er, Ping'er, listen to me! The Prince of Yan likes a lovely girl like you, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a liking to Xue'er. The Prince of Yan definitely has feelings for you!"

Upon hearing this, Ping'er squinted at Feng Huaxian and said, "Really? I didn't expect you to know so much!"

Feng Huaxian's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head, pleading, "Please, Ping'er, please help me this time. I, Feng Huaxian, will never forget your great kindness!"

"No, no, no, I don't need anyone to remember me!" Ping'er took a few steps back and said coldly, "You'd better forget me as soon as possible. I have things to do, you sell it yourself, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Ping'er turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Qing'er remained unmoved, Feng Huaxian's eyes flashed with ferocity. She pounced on Ping'er and pinned her to the ground, holding her arm tightly and saying viciously, "You brat, it's your good fortune that the Prince of Yan has taken a liking to you. How dare you refuse like that brat Xue'er? I think you really don't want to live!"

When Ping'er saw Feng Huaxian, whose face had turned fierce, a slight smile appeared on her lips. She already knew what was going on. "What, you can't hide your true colors anymore?"

Feng Huaxian's face immediately darkened. Before she could speak, Baili Huangyi walked out of the bedroom and said, "I told you, Sister Ping'er is not a fool. Your self-inflicted injury scheme is completely useless!"

Baili Huangyi squinted at Ping'er and said lecherously, "Ping'er, we meet again."

"Lord Yan, I've captured her! Come quickly!" Feng Huaxian said eagerly to claim credit as Baili Huangyi came out.

Baili Huangyi approached Feng Huaxian, looked at Ping'er who was pinned beneath him, and said with a smile, "Ping'er, don't resist anymore. Stay and keep me company tonight!"

Ping'er sneered, "Resist? You think you're worth my resistance?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Huangyi's expression changed. Just like Feng Huaxian, he didn't have time to react before Ping'er suddenly unleashed an astonishing power, knocking Feng Huaxian to the ground and leaping up.

Feng Huaxian stared at Ping'er in astonishment, "You, how do you know magic?!"

"Heh, a mere junior from the Demon Clan has no knowledge at all! I didn't use magic, but just folk martial arts!" Ping'er said with a smile.

"Kung Fu?!" Feng Huaxian suddenly realized and pointed at Ping'er, asking in surprise, "You, how do you know I'm a demon?"

Ping'er smiled slightly, "Didn't Changyuan tell you that besides you, who else can he not see through?"

Feng Huaxian's expression suddenly changed, and she turned to Baili Huangyi, saying, "My lord, this girl must be of extraordinary status; we cannot let her live!"

Baili Huangyi glared at Feng Huaxian and said, "This is none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Huaxian immediately shut her mouth and dared not speak.

Baili Huangyi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Sister Ping’er, to be honest, I am not only the King of Yancheng, but also a member of the Demon Clan. I have no other purpose in coming here today but to investigate the matter of Qianjue Mountain. There was a misunderstanding just now, so please don’t take it to heart, Sister Ping’er.”

Ping'er squinted at Baili Huangyi and sneered, "The Prince of Yan is truly mysterious; I never imagined he had a dual identity!"

Baili Huangyi smiled awkwardly, and before he could say anything, Ping'er shrugged and continued, "But who you are and what does it have to do with me? I don't even know you!"

Baili Huangyi's lips twitched involuntarily: This girl really doesn't hold back when she speaks!

"If you have nothing else, I'll be going now!" Ping'er said, preparing to leave.

Baili Huangyi gestured to Feng Huaxian, who understood and hurriedly ran over to block the doorway.

"What do you mean by this?" Ping'er asked, frowning.

“Hehe, Sister Ping’er is clearly a strong person, so I want her to stay by my side as my personal bodyguard,” Baili Huangyi explained.

Ping'er turned to look at Baili Huangyi. "Don't you already have a personal bodyguard? Why not use someone as loyal as me? Are you stupid?"

Baili Huangyi's lips twitched again as he chuckled dryly, "Minister Wang, you can certainly deal with ordinary people, but if it comes to dealing with those highly skilled magicians, I'm afraid you'll be powerless even if you're willing."

"Oh, so to put it bluntly, you want to cause trouble for Thousand Absolute Mountain, but you can't beat them, so you want to find a helper, right?" Ping'er suddenly realized.
