Chapter 131 The Sultan Hasn't Seen You for Three Days
Tu Xing frowned, and when he saw Xue Rui pick up the veil beside him, he also picked up one and put it on his face, and his breathing felt a little better.
"Ahem—the person who left is back?" The voice was so dry and hoarse that the words were almost inaudible.
Xue Rui: "Cyril brought back something. Do you think it's what you want?"
As she spoke, she took it directly from the young man's hand.
Tu Xing was actually about to walk over to interrupt, and he raised his eyes slightly.
——Usually, handing it over to a superior personally is an opportunity to curry favor, but he no longer needs it.
A gleam of light flashed in Tu Xing's eyes, and he slowly knelt on one knee, with the sickle placed horizontally at his side and the other hand resting on his knee.
Evander, who was behind, saw this action and cursed, but after hesitating, he still stood where he was.
Xue Rui walked up to Celilda, knelt down, and offered her with both hands.
The person on the bed turned sideways tremblingly, and just the movement of raising his hand seemed to have used up all his strength.
Celilda raised her face, causing the two newcomers to open their eyes wide.
The skull is prepared, but the key is whether the skin can fall off. There are many wriggling insects in it, colorful, and the whole thing looks like the phosphorescent glow of butterfly wings.
Evander even cried out in surprise, "Ah! Ahhh!"
An angry voice sounded from behind, "What are you yelling about? You have never seen the world."
"I heard you've been named General De, but this is all you can do?"
The man came over in a few steps and was among the crowd. Luo Bo seemed to be unable to see that terrifying face, which was full of flattery.
"My dear, you've suffered so much. Just hold on a little longer. As long as you get through this, I will make sure that everyone who disrespects you in Lenilaya will be doomed forever!"
As he spoke, the man's face was about to touch the maggot-filled hand.
There was a "slap" sound, and it was Celilda who slapped him.
Luo Bo turned his face to the side, his expression full of disbelief and hurt, like a resentful husband.
Celilda's voice was so angry that it sounded like a piece of torn paper scratching the ground. "Give me that thing!"
Luo Bo reacted immediately and said in surprise: "Found it?!"
"Yes." Tu Xing couldn't help but smile.
"It glitters in the water, so it must be the purest form of divine power."
Luo Bo opened the lid and found it was rough and simple, not connected in the middle, so he threw the lid away.
A fist-sized fruit was revealed inside the box.
He picked it up and stuffed it into Celilda's mouth, stopping just enough for the woman to see.
"Look, is this it? If so, I'll help you take it."
The maggots on Celilda's face moved more actively, and there seemed to be a rustling sound. She spoke urgently: "Yes, yes, quick!"
At that moment, Luo Bo stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, and the woman spat it out without swallowing.
With a "Gulong" sound, everyone fell silent and stared at the scene.
Celilda was covered in maggots, disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The skin seemed to be growing back from the bones, with strands of flesh-colored flesh, and the scene was terrifying and eerie.
Except for Evander who looked nervous, no one present showed any unusual expression.
The woman, whose face had grown into a full one, looked tired, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction and admiration as she looked at the young man.
"I didn't expect you to be able to find it. It seems that you are very capable."
Tu Xing lowered his head and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Seeing you like this, I am glad that I found you in time."
Celilda shook her head. "You delayed for seven days because of the Sultan's affairs. How can you say it's timely?"
However, his tone was friendly and Tu Xing did not argue.
The woman got down from the bed. "Xue Rui, tidy up the bed. Let's go to the living room to chat. We've been sitting here for the past ten days. I'm getting annoyed by it."
Xue Rui responded, and Luo Bo came closer to support her, echoing and complimenting her.
…
The three of them sat down, and Evander hesitated whether to stand or sit, but finally pulled away and sat down.
Celilda stretched out her hand, examining both sides. "It just feels like it's not quite there yet. It's just a little bit short of recovery, making it difficult for me to fully demonstrate my abilities."
Her eyes suddenly shifted to the young man, "I want you to do one more thing."
Tu Xing: "Please speak."
"Go to Lenilaya and kill the remaining four people." The murderous intent was chilling.
There was a moment of silence.
With Tu Xing's character, he would not kill his own kind unless necessary.
Celilda was quite polite to the young man now, and she didn't show any anger at this. She vaguely regarded it as an equal and said in a negotiating tone:
"If you don't take it down quickly, how can I fulfill my promise to give you one-third of the territory?"
"Just kill four people. I'll let others do the rest. Just coordinate inside and outside."
At the end of his speech, he looked to the side and said, "General De, leading the troops to war shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"That's how you were promoted, not to mention that after the war, you'll be rewarded based on your military merits. Gold coins are a sure thing."
"I protected you so much back then, but you weren't as reliable as Cyril in finding the Divine Power Fruit!"
Evander's face was filled with shame, and his mouth moved. "Yes..."
"It's really hard to find someone who doesn't stop for a moment except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Fortunately, Brother Cyril did it."
"We went in together, and the help of my teammates was indispensable. I certainly have my share of the credit."
Tu Xing opened his eyes and stabbed him. His skin was really thick and it separated as soon as he entered. In the recollection, he did not separate and was stabbed in the back.
Evander tilted his head and said, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you on this matter."
Celilda, who was standing opposite, observed the two men's reactions with a thoughtful look in her eyes. She looked at the young man and said with a smile, "Don't worry, take your time to think about it."
"There's a banquet at the palace today. Go and relax. The Sultan hasn't seen you in three days and even sent someone to inquire about you yesterday."
"If I don't go see him now, I'm afraid he'll force the door open."
Hearing this, Tu Xing shifted his attention to Sudan, "Yes."
After finishing the business, they didn't stay here for long, and Celilda looked like she needed a rest. Luo Bo looked at the woman with affection.
The young man walked out of the room, glanced at the dark shadow on the ground, and deliberately did not close the door.
Just then, a voice came from inside, "Xue Rui, go see Cyril off, and when you come back, stand guard at the door."
When they reached the path, Evander was the first to speak: "Where did you find it?"
"I crossed nearly three mountains. Whenever I saw a lake, I jumped in, soaking my whole body in water to salvage it. At one point, my body was festered and I couldn't even see a trace of it."
Gnashing his teeth, "How could you be the only one to find it?!"
Tu Xing rolled her eyes at him, "Am I obligated to tell you?"
This time, Evander, who was choked, did not refute, but only had a flickering look in his eyes:
"That's a good thing. You actually brought it back to her."
After he finished speaking, the other party glanced behind him secretly at the maid who was rushing over.
Seeing that they were still some distance apart, Evander moved closer and lowered his voice, "We can definitely split up."
"I'll give you a lot of gold coins, or whatever else you want. Leave it to me."
"Why not take that woman's place while she's weak?"
While walking, the man's mouth and nose rubbed against Tu Xing's ear.
The young man slapped him hard with his backhand, making a loud "pa" sound.
