Chapter 391: A Corpse Falls Back
The phoenix, which has been extinct for thousands of years, actually appears in the underworld!
This is no small matter!
In ancient times, the phoenix was a rare sight as a sign of good fortune. Later, when a new heaven was built, it became food on the table of the upper realm. However, no one expected that this action would lead to the near extinction of the phoenix.
Someone once criticized the actions of the upper realm, but that person disappeared overnight, and since then, no one dared to comment.
No one in the human world, the divine world, or the immortal world talked about these historical events. As time went by, it was as if such things had never happened.
However, this incident is well-known in the demon world, and one of the history books of the demon world originated from the demon world.
Therefore, it is understandable that Yinghuan recognizes Fenghuang.
Just look at the phoenix with its radiant glow and sharp eyes, and you will know that it is not easy to deal with. But the question is, why would this phoenix protect those two dead girls?
Since Yinghuan didn't know about Xiaobai, she naturally didn't know the origin of the phoenix.
However, Yinghuan still did not give up and wanted to try to teach Lingxiang a lesson.
At this moment, there was an orderly sound of footsteps, and then someone outside the wall could be heard singing:
"Lord Wumin requests an audience with Princess Fengyuan!"
It's Wumin-kun! He's finally here!
Lingxiang let out a long sigh and said "Xuan", but Yinghuan frowned.
If it weren't for the Demon Lord's summons, Lord Wumin would rarely go out. Why did he come to the Shiyang Palace today?
Just as he was wondering, Wu Minjun, dressed in a black robe and with an upright figure, came closer. After a bow, he spoke.
"Why is it so lively? It turns out General Yiyou is here too."
The mask covered Wu Minjun's face, making it impossible to tell whether these plain words had any hidden meaning, but Yinghuan understood that Wu Minjun was going to intervene in this matter.
Huh! He is just the descendant of a traitor. If the Demon Lord had not spared his life out of the kindness they once had, would he still have the chance to show off in front of her?
However, Lord Wumin is a royal after all, and his rank is higher than that of Yinghuan, so he still has to show proper etiquette, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"Greetings, Lord Wumin," Yinghuan said, clutching her shoulder with her hand, looking weak. "Forgive me for my injuries, so I can't perform the full ceremony."
"laugh……"
Wu Minjun was about to wave his hand, but Lingxiang sneered.
"Oh~ The general is injured, that's serious! Let this princess treat him quickly, don't delay the injury."
Lingxiang's words sounded more beautiful than an opera, and made Yinhuan's mouth twitch.
Letting you, a bitch, treat me? I might as well die! How could you be so kind? You're just crying wolf! Who gave me this injury? Don't you have any idea?
Although she was angry, Yinghuan did not dare to show it in front of Wumin Jun.
What a mess this is, and Wu Min Jun pretends not to see it. It is obvious that he is trying to protect her. If I argue with this damn girl now, and Wu Min Jun reports it to the Demon Lord, I will be the only one to be blamed.
"How dare I trouble you, Princess? It's just a minor injury that will heal in two or three days."
"Oh~" Lingxiang made a sound that went through seventeen or eighteen turns, which made Yinghuan shudder.
"It's just a minor injury!" Lingxiang said with a pout, "What a delicate general! He can't even salute with just a minor injury."
Minor injury? That damn girl Mai Dong was so strong that even her bones must have been broken.
The more Yinghuan thought about it, the angrier she became. She secretly glared at Lingxiang and Maidong.
Even if you are angry, you still have to make things smooth over.
"Perhaps it's because I haven't trained for a long time, my body isn't as strong as before, and I have to worry about the princess every day, so I'm really a little tired."
You call me every day, don’t you have any idea what to do, you little girl?
"Oh~ You are weak, isn't that easy to deal with? This princess has some medicines on hand. After the general takes them, he will be as strong as a fighting bull." Lingxiang was relentless, she was determined to tear off Huanhuan's disguise today!
"You!" Yinghuan was so angry that her eyes were wide open, and she felt the wound on her shoulder hurt even more.
How could this bitch be so kind? Was she determined to poison herself?
But she glanced at Wu Minjun and still swallowed her anger.
What's the point of accepting it first? Anyway, this damn girl doesn't know whether she has eaten it or not, so just throw it away when the time comes.
"Thank you, Princess."
Seeing that Yinghuan lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasant, but her chest was heaving, Lingxiang felt secretly happy.
It was just talk, but this vicious woman took it seriously? The medicine I had painstakingly obtained must be incredibly valuable, and how could I possibly give it to her?
Forget it, forget it. This old bitch, Yinghuan, is good at acting. I can’t kill her in a short time, but it’s not bad to disgust her.
"In that case, General, please retreat and rest quickly. Get well soon, and don't delay my future use of talents."
I knew this bitch had bad intentions! I'm already in this state, and you still want to order me around?
Although she was so angry that her teeth ached, Yinghuan still responded obediently with gritted teeth and left, not caring about the subordinates who came with her and were nailed to the wall.
After Yinghuan left, Wumin Jun ordered his men to rescue people. After all, they were just following orders.
Lingxiang couldn't deny it. She didn't care about the life or death of these demon soldiers, but hurried forward to check Bo Luohui's injuries.
Bo Luohui was very conscious and seemed to be uninjured, with no expression of pain on his face. However, Yinghuan had finally used a cruel blow on him, so in order to avoid any harm, Lingxiang still carefully felt his pulse.
At first, Bo Luohui tried to dodge, but he couldn't resist Lingxiang. Wu Minjun on the side just glanced at the two of them, but didn't say anything else.
After a round of examination, Lingxiang frowned, looking puzzled.
"Maidong..." Lingxiang didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, she only said, "Come and take a look."
Maidong didn't know what Lingxiang meant, so he just followed the instructions and took her pulse. However, she also showed a puzzled look.
Bo Luo Hui has no pulse!
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Lingxiang thought her medical skills were inadequate, so she had Maidong try it, but to her surprise, the result was the same. As far as she knew, only demons had no pulse. Could it be that...
"Bo Luo Hui..." Ling Xiang said carefully, "You said you would repay Wu Minjun before. What did you give him in return?"
Lingxiang didn't dare to ask too directly. After all, this was not a glorious thing, and Wumin Jun was still present. After all, it was still someone else's territory, so she couldn't be too ostentatious.
Bo Luohui did not answer, but turned his head to the side. Seeing this, Lingxiang was immediately furious and stood up and glared at Wuminjun.
"You pretend to be compassionate, yet you actually harm my Yuanqing disciples like this! What are your intentions?"
Lingxiang really couldn't imagine who else, except Wumin Jun, would cause Bo Luo to fall into the devil's trap.
But Bo Luohui sat up at this time and grabbed Lingxiang's skirt.
"Elder Fu Cang, you misunderstood."
Misunderstand?
There is no pulse, what else could be misunderstood?
But what Bo Luohui said next made Lingxiang feel sad.
"I... I'm already dead... This body is just a corpse..."
