Baili Tang's voice, filled with embarrassment and anger, rang out from below the arena.
But no one paid him any attention. Seeing his face, wrapped in a white cloth and covered in excrement, they all laughed and walked away.
Look at him?
No.
Let's see what they summon.
"Mud element~ Xuanwu?" the little guy asked, sitting at its feet.
The giant snake turtle suddenly shook its head.
Everyone was taken aback.
Not Xuanwu?
"Oh." The little guy was very disappointed.
Since you're so honest, I won't eat you.
The Emperor's heart, sitting below the stage, rose and fell in sync with Lin Wanwan's thoughts.
So this girl really wanted to eat it?
His lips twitched; he knew he couldn't underestimate her.
They truly are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers!
The people of Yun'ao Kingdom were all stunned upon hearing this.
Not Xuanwu?
They've been raising this snake-turtle for over ten years.
For the past ten years or so, He has been the one who has upheld the reputation of Yun'ao Kingdom. Now, he says that this snake-turtle is not Xuanwu?
"Nonsense! What else could this be but Xuanwu?"
"Legend has it that this is what Xuanwu looks like. It evolved from a divine tortoise over tens of thousands of years. It has guarded the northern part of the Nine Provinces for thousands of years. How could we not know this?"
Song Shaoqin walked up to Lin Wanwan and immediately cut her off.
Lin Wanwan pointed to the snake-turtle behind her, "It, remember what it said."
"It is not related to Xuanwu."
"It also has a record of being neither a pig, nor a bird, nor a beast."
Lin Wanwan swayed and pointed to a row behind her, then stammered out a long string of words.
Everyone was stunned.
The happiest people were none other than the ministers of the Holy Kingdom.
They believed everything Wanwan said!
I completely believe it!!!
"I never imagined that your Yun'ao Kingdom would deceive us for so many years by claiming to be Xuanwu?"
"We've made you donate a lot of money, and now you're supporting it? Give us back our money!"
The Crown Prince of Tianji immediately walked up to Song Shaoqin and confronted him.
Song Shaoqin was a civil official and was not afraid of verbal threats at all.
He adopted the demeanor of a treacherous official and said:
"Crown Prince of Tianji Kingdom, you actually expect us to return the silver based on a one-year-old baby?"
"You should know that Xuanwu is capable of being summoned by anyone. It is the responsibility of the several territories to support Xuanwu. You have the right to give this money."
The Crown Prince of Tianji Kingdom angrily retorted, "But this is fake! Why can't I demand a refund?"
Song Shaoqin was furious as he watched Baili Tang re-wrapping the white cloth.
In a critical moment, what kind of dog poop should you eat?
Are you making me deal with these people myself?!
Lin Wanwan held Tianfeng and placed her on the tortoise's feet, calling out, "Ni Yao."
Tianfeng: "..."
It's always like this.
It does all the heavy lifting!
It grumbled a few times, then took a big bite out of the snake turtle's large foot.
The snake-turtle felt the pain and jumped up instantly.
Tianfeng swayed a few times on the snake-turtle's feet, then slid down and was caught by Lin Wanwan.
Seeing this, Ye Lanyin hurriedly went forward to hug Lin Wanwan.
The Regent flew up ahead of her and embraced Lin Wanwan in his arms.
With red eyes, Ye Lanyin shouted, "Quickly, Regent, come down!"
The Regent turned to look at Ye Lanyin, preparing to carry her away.
Unexpectedly, the fake Xuanwu seemed to be frightened and howled violently in mid-air.
Suddenly, its eyes emitted an eerie red light, filling people with fear.
"Ah, my god, the Black Tortoise I summoned."
When Baili Tianxi saw that the Xuanwu he had summoned had become like this, he knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.
Hearing the crying, the fleeing crowd stopped and turned to look at the arena.
That one glance.
I was so shocked I almost dropped my jaw.
That's absolutely wild!!
The once sacred and inviolable Xuanwu suddenly split in two, the tortoise and the snake separating and shrinking to the size of two palms.
They were scurrying around on the ground, occasionally sticking out their tongues to lick the floor.
"What... what's going on?"
General Liu couldn't help but exclaim, pulling many people back from their shock.
The second prince said in a low voice, "It seems that this really is not Xuanwu."
"I've heard that Xuanwu is a combination of a snake and a tortoise, and it's impossible for it to be divided into two parts. They share one life and one heart, and they are not something that just anyone can summon."
"Moreover, Xuanwu is black, this tortoise is gray, and this snake doesn't look very smart."
Upon hearing the Second Prince's words, Baili Tianxi looked at the snake. Before he could even see what it was doing, it fell off the arena.
The crowd of onlookers was terrified.
"What is this snake doing? It's not biting people, it's biting itself?"
Lin Wanwan nestled in the Regent's arms, rubbing against his ambergris.
【Hmm, it smells so comforting.】
The Regent was taken aback?
smell?
He looked at Yao Qianshu, then at Lin Chang'an, and then at Xiao Chengyun.
"Chengyun, go and smell that snake."
Xiao Chengyun hid behind Lin Chang'an, terrified, and dared not smell it.
He shook his head. "My son won't go. He's too timid."
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu grinned and exclaimed, "Holy crap!!"
Despite his young age, he was quite precocious. He excitedly ran up to the snake and indeed sniffed it.
"Ughhhhhh~"
Suddenly, he opened his mouth as if to sneeze, but instead of sneezing, he vomited up everything he had eaten.
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
"This...this is...what kind of...snake? And why...does it...smell like...vomit?"
