Chapter 72 072 Warning! Warning! Mission Failed!
The banquet came to the moment that everyone was looking forward to with the sound of piano.
Who will be the heir to the Fox King?
The fox elders below were eagerly waiting.
Tu Xuan was still eating grapes with gusto when the Fox Queen suddenly pinched her thigh. She let out a howl and the whole place fell silent.
He cleared his throat awkwardly.
"I have summoned all the elders here. I believe you all understand that after so long, it is time to announce the successor."
The elders exchanged glances without saying a word.
No matter who gets the position of heir today, he will be the king they will be loyal to in the future. After today, they should weigh carefully which prince they stood on.
"Chen'er, come up."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room had different expressions.
There was understanding, reluctance, and surprise, but no jealousy.
The best outcome is that Tu Chen gets the position of heir.
Before his legs were crippled, his deeds were obvious to all, and he was the only choice to be the next Fox King.
Among the brothers, only Tu Chen can resolve the conflict.
If it wasn't Tu Chen today, if it was any one of them, it would have led to war, which was not what Tu Xuan wanted.
Letting Shi Hua choose the heir is just a cover.
A pretext to heal Tu Chen's legs.
"My son's strength is evident to all. Do you have any objections to him inheriting the throne of the next Fox King?"
Silence.
The first one to stand up was the Ninth Prince Tu Yi, who had been silent for a long time.
Tu Yi walked out of his seat, his face expressionless, he lifted up his robe and knelt down.
"Father is wise!"
The elders woke up as if from a dream, came out one after another, knelt down and shouted along.
"Wang Yingming!"
Tu Li and his companions knelt unwillingly.
The next Fox King's successor has been chosen. Unless something unexpected happens, Tu Chen will be the next Fox King.
"Get up."
Tu Xuan returned to the Fox Queen with a smile.
As if to say, how am I doing?
The Fox Queen rewarded him with a grape as a reward.
During the rest of the banquet, most people present had different thoughts, and those who were perceptive had already gone to Tu Chen to make their presence felt.
Tu Yi didn't go, but turned around and walked to Shi Hua.
"Jiang Qingwu," he raised his glass, "I haven't seen you these days. Are you angry with me?"
He chose to stay away because he didn't want to get involved.
He doesn't care at all who will be the next Fox King.
Shi Hua raised her lip: "I thought you were afraid of me and didn't dare to show up."
Tu Yi glared at him immediately: "How is that possible! I'm not like my third brother, who is so petty that he would just let it go if his tail was gone!"
Tu Li, who was standing by, glared at him.
Shi Hua smiled without saying anything, raised his glass and drank.
The matter was over.
"By the way, what are you doing in the Fox Clan this time?"
Shi Hua teased him, "What if I say I want to take your heart's blood?"
The fox eyes stood up in shock.
“You you you!”
"Just kidding."
Shi Hua was in a good mood. Perhaps she felt that her mission was completed and she was closer to ascension.
Tu Yi secretly stepped back.
"It's not fun at all! Just stay by yourself!"
Shi Hua chuckled, but when she saw Wei Shizhou staring at her, her smile faded.
It's strange, why didn't Wei Shizhou react at all?
The banquet is almost over, and the medicine should be taking effect.
"system……"
Before she could call the system, the electronic sound in her head seemed to explode, and the blaring alarm shook her mind.
The system's human-like voice sounded.
[Failure of the Vicious Female Supporting Character mission will be counted towards the cumulative penalty... Warning! Warning! The cumulative penalty has reached its maximum and will be administered soon.]
Painting:?
She frowned and waited for the cold and ruthless electronic voice to finish reading before she heard the system's crying voice.
[Immortal Venerable, the accumulated penalties have reached their maximum. You must be mentally prepared. These penalties are randomly distributed, and I have no idea what they will be.]
Shi Hua's heart sank.
Why does the mission fail?
It was obvious that every glass of wine Wei Shizhou drank was drugged by her. What went wrong?
Before he could even think about what the problem was, the system spoke again: [Immortal Venerable, the accumulated punishment will be delivered within a day. At that time, the Immortal Venerable will be randomly teleported to a certain location to receive the punishment...]
So time is very tight now.
Shi Hua was about to get the heart blood, and the subsequent matters had not been arranged yet. She could not predict how long the punishment would be delayed, and Mo Huai could not afford any delay.
I couldn't help but swear.
Shi Hua suddenly stood up and made an excuse to leave the banquet.
Wei Shizhou noticed something was wrong.
He was certain that Shi Hua must have put drugs in the wine. What was the reason for this reaction now?
Could it be that she knew that he had taken the antidote in advance and the medicine in the wine had no effect on him, so she couldn't sit still and wanted to leave?
Wei Shizhou came to the banquet after making full preparations.
He knew that Shi Hua would put drugs in the wine, but before that, Shi Hua had already noticed the problem on his side and would definitely come up with a countermeasure. He could not be on guard against everything, so he could only take the antidote in advance.
He must find out the real reason why Shi Hua did not follow the plot!
*
After careful consideration, the matter with the fox clan is over.
After arranging for Tu Ying and Wei Shizhou to leave, she can find a deserted place to wait for the punishment.
Shi Hua planned everything in his mind, stuffed a jade slip into Tu Ying's hand, and bit his fingertip to draw a blood talisman on her palm.
"This talisman can be triggered by using demonic power. It can conceal your breath for an incense stick. The paper figurine can hold out for a few days. When you return, arrange the rest of the matter. Crushing the jade slip will teleport you out. From now on, the Fox Clan will no longer have Sixth Prince Tu Ying. There will only be Tu Ying in female form."
"Have you thought it through?"
Tu Ying nodded heavily: "I have long been tired of the fighting among the fox tribe. Leaving the fox tribe is the best choice for me. I will make arrangements for my mother. Thank you, Jiang Qingwu."
"It's just a fair trade. I'll send you away."
He used hand gestures and magic to send her back to his palace.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door and Wei Shizhou's voice was heard.
He came just in time, so she gave all the instructions.
"Come in."
Without waiting for Wei Shizhou to speak, Shi Hua stuffed the porcelain bottle containing Tu Ying's heart blood and a bottle of spiritual liquid into his arms. Worried that he might have an accident on the way, he thought for a moment and took out the heart-control bell from the space ring and gave it to him.
Wei Shizhou held the things in his arms and saw her expression of eagerness to arrange everything. He thought to himself that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
"Uncle Master..."
"Take the antidote and spiritual liquid back to Lingyuan Pavilion. I've sent a message to Ying Xing, and he knows what to do. Give the heart blood and the herbs in the space ring to Xi Yan, and have her refine them into pills for Mo Huai to take. You stay by his bedside. He may have a high fever and chills within three days, which is normal..."
Shi Hua said a lot in one breath.
Wei Shizhou had never seen her like this before.
In the past, Shi Hua was as indifferent as water, and handled things calmly, as if everything in her hands was like a tangled silk thread that could be easily untied.
The blood contract at the collarbone was slightly warm.
The urgent emotion came through clearly.
What could make Shi Hua so anxious?
Wei Shizhou couldn't figure it out.
After arranging everything, Shi Hua sent a message to Tu Xuan, telling her that he was leaving the fox clan and there was no need to see her off.
Tu Xuan was used to her sudden departure and warmly invited her to come to the fox clan for a gathering next time she had the chance.
"Wei Shizhou, you should set off now and rush back to Lingyuan Pavilion. I still have something to take care of, so you don't have to follow me."
"Uncle Master, what is it..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Hua disappeared from his sight.
Not even an explanation.
The blood pact gradually became hot.
Wei Shizhou's face darkened and he looked down at the thing in his arms, not knowing what he was thinking.
*
After leaving the fox tribe, Shi Hua came to a waterfall a hundred miles away.
The rushing water splashed, soaking a corner of the clothes.
Shi Hua estimated the time and it would take a while.
"System, what does this cumulative penalty include?"
Since the system urged her to find a secluded place within a day to wait for punishment, it must be a serious punishment.
This is also my first time using cumulative penalties. They're supposed to be randomly drawn from the system's assigned penalties. The instructions here involve selecting two or three penalties from the penalty pool and combining them for delivery.
The punishment can be big or small, all depends on luck.
If you are lucky, the punishment may be lighter, but if you are unlucky, you may really lose half your life.
Shi Hua frowned. The light screen projected by the system showed all kinds of punishments, and the thunder tribulation was actually the lightest punishment.
I sighed inwardly.
After being bound to the so-called vicious female supporting system, her luck seemed to be particularly bad.
Not only did the missions fail frequently, but even the male protagonist Wei Shizhou had problems, yet she was still required to complete 50% of the mission quota.
An hour later.
[Immortal Honor! Punishment is coming!]
Shi Hua was ready for battle.
A magic circle suddenly appeared under his feet.
She couldn't figure out the mystery!
The punishment imposed by the system is so mysterious that even the formation is so subtle.
I hope I won’t be punished badly.
"Paint!"
Amid the loud noise of the waterfall, Shi Hua suddenly heard Wei Shizhou's voice. Before he could react, he felt his wrist tighten.
Wei Shizhou's cheeks flushed slightly, his breathing quickened, and he held her hand tightly without letting go.
"You really are hiding something from me!"
Shi Hua tried to shake off his hand, but it held her hand even tighter.
"Don't think of leaving me to face it alone."
"You forgot that we still have a blood bond. I can sense what you are thinking. Emotions don't lie!"
"You didn't set up this magic circle, so who did it? Is someone trying to harm you?"
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all.
With Shi Hua's cultivation at the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, who else in the world could be her opponent? Something that could make Shi Hua so anxious must be very difficult!
The teleportation array slowly rotates.
Shi Hua said coldly: "Wei Shizhou, let go!"
"I don't!"
The punishment she could face alone could obviously be easily resolved, but she dragged Wei Shizhou along. In case she got a bad punishment, she would have the time to take care of a weakling. Does he know that he is just a burden in her eyes?
"System, hurry up and drag your male protagonist away!"
The system stared at the screen tremblingly, wanting to cry but unable to: [Immortal Venerable, it's too late... Once the teleportation array is activated, no one can escape.]
Damn it!
It has come to this.
Shi Hua held his hand with his backhand, "Follow me closely!"
The crackling sound of electricity passed through my mind.
[Cumulative penalty is about to be applied... An unknown bug has occurred in the system... Penalty application has failed... Application has been successful...]
