Chapter 41 Meeting the Child King
The ground was covered with thick white snow, and the surrounding trees were bare without any leaves, with only some pure white snow piled in the gaps between the branches. Everything looked exactly the same as the winter scenes that Xu Ren'er and the others had seen.
Four black crows were resting on a branch. When they heard the noise, their ears moved slightly, their eyes narrowed, and they soon spotted the figures of Xu Ren'er and his companions. The next second, the four crows flapped their wings, left the branch, split into two groups, and flew in different directions.
These crows made quite a noise, and as they left, a few pieces of snow fell to the ground and returned to the big family of the snow pile.
Xu Ren'er was held in Tang Qiuyue's arms, his eyes always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Normally, when people stepped on the snow, there should be a series of deep footprints left. However, as soon as they took a step away, the footprints left on the ground disappeared in less than half a second and returned to their original state, as if no one had ever stepped on the snow.
"Notice! Strangers are coming!" "Notice! Strangers are coming!"
Before Xu Ren'er could continue looking, two crows circled in the air, shouting loudly, spreading the news to a large area.
When the news spread, Xu Ren'er instantly felt dozens of eyes looking in their direction. Xu Ren'er turned his head and saw that there was a group of people in front of them who were looking at them as if they were looking at something new.
Unlike the group they had seen when they first arrived, this group of people did not wear uniform clothing. The styles were varied and the colors were unique. Judging from the material of the clothes, they were of high quality and expensive. The most important thing was that they did not wear any masks on their faces, but only a dark green pattern was deliberately painted under the left corner of their eyes as an embellishment.
This group of people have good-looking faces. Even the elderly people look energetic and strong, which makes people feel comfortable.
They were brought to the center of the group, but this group of people were quite well-mannered. They just looked at each other without saying a word. They did not discuss with each other, point fingers at them, or comment on them from every angle.
Silence, the air is so silent.
After a long time, someone on the stage coughed lightly, breaking the almost suffocating silence. Xu Ren'er and the others immediately looked in the direction of the cough.
There was a child about ten years old sitting on a high platform. The chair was magnificent and golden, and he wore a golden crown on his head with several jewels nested inside the crown. As his head turned, the sparkling light shone into everyone's eyes.
Although he looks like a child, his eyes are not clear. His gaze is like a deep pool in the night, calm and composed, and it is impossible to see through his thoughts.
No matter how precocious a ten-year-old is, he or she will never have such eyes. It is as if the child has gone through many ups and downs and has very profound experience.
"Laughing King."
On the high platform, the child just took a look at Xu Ren'er and immediately told him his identity in his previous life.
I thought that when Xu Ren'er heard this name, there would be some abnormality on his face, and he would see through him. However, Xu Ren'er remained calm and did not take the child's temptation seriously at all.
Seeing that Xu Ren'er didn't react at all, the child's eyes darkened. He wanted to test him a little more, but the next second, a lot of deliberately suppressed laughter came from all around. They were all dignitaries he invited to watch the outsiders.
Child: “…”
Obviously, they understood the child's tentative "笑霸" as the mispronounced imperative "笑吧".
These people seemed to be afraid that their smiles were not obvious or loud enough, and that the children would mistakenly think that they were not laughing despite their instructions. They laughed hard, and some even ignored their own image, slapping the table while laughing, tears almost bursting out, looking extremely ugly.
The scene before him was truly unbearable to watch. Upon seeing this, Xu Ren'er silently withdrew his evaluation of them as "well-educated".
Sorry, she was wrong.
"How did you get into our marrow-sucking country?"
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates. Facing this group of pretentious ministers, the boy's veins bulged in his temples, but he quickly retracted them, withdrew the temptation, and asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
Faced with this problem, Xu Ren'er and the others turned their attention to Pang Ningchun. When they first arrived, it was Pang Ningchun who was responsible for deceiving other people in the Marrow-sucking Country. This time, they also planned to give him the diplomatic task of communication.
There was no way. Xu Ren'er couldn't speak for the time being. It was too shocking for a dog to speak human language. Not everyone could accept it immediately and it would easily be treated as an alien.
Tang Beiju and Tang Qiuyue, these two siblings are too unreliable in this regard. They can't think flexibly and can't push it out at all.
Yu Hui would go crazy from time to time and act completely arbitrarily according to his own ideas. In such situations, no one knew what unexpected things he would do.
Among them, the only one who can be entrusted is probably either Mo Xiaohe or Pang Ningchun.
Pang Ningchun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took a step forward, and repeated what he had said before.
"We are from Jiucai Country. We wanted to travel around the world and see the sights. We happened to be passing by here and wanted to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered, we were suddenly thrown into the sky and fell in your direction."
After hearing what Pang Ningchun said, the child stared at her and said with certainty, "You are lying. There is no country called Jiucai Country in this world."
After hearing this, Xu Ren'er felt something was wrong.
The information that the puppy statue conveyed to her brain had just been sorted out by her, and she had also successfully searched for information about the child.
In the country of Marrow-sucking, there is actually not only the High Priest who has reincarnation, but also another one, the King of Marrow-sucking Country.
In this country, in the hearts of the people, the person with the highest status is the high priest whom they respect and love, followed by their king.
Therefore, there are only two places for reincarnation in this country. One is the priest, and the other is the child in front of him who looks difficult to deal with casually, the king of their marrow-sucking country.
However, Xu Ren'er felt a little sad.
The king before him would not consider running away once he was found.
He was the king every year and ruled the entire country, so after Lunxuntang found him, he would send him back to the palace and would no longer care about his stay or departure, allowing him to continue to retain his memory.
It can be said that he should be the only person in this country who has hundreds of years of memory.
As for their priests, because they had escaped from the Marrow-sucking Country many times, the first reaction of the people from Lunxun Hall after capturing the priests was to brainwash them, erase all their memories, and make them willingly serve their Marrow-sucking Country.
The more comprehensive the information Xu Ren'er obtained, the more he felt sorry for his partner, Mo Youli.
In order to prevent Mo Youli from really leaving the Marrow-sucking Country and the disappearance of the energy dependence that the Marrow-sucking Country has relied on for a long time, they even specially created tools to restrain Mo Youli. It is simply a fantasy for him to rely on his own strength to deal with Lunxun Hall without anyone to help him.
However...Xu Ren'er's eyes suddenly became extremely firm. This time, he was not alone!
Even if it costs their lives, they will help Mo Youli successfully escape from Lunxuntang's control!
Pang Ningchun remained calm in response to the child's question and simply replied:
"Why would I lie to you? If there really wasn't a country called Jiucai Country in this world, such a clumsy lie would be easily exposed.
Even if I lie, I should choose a clever way to lie, right?!"
Pang Ningchun's eyes were firm, his aura was fully open, and a kind of pride that only belongs to the strong came over him.
The child said nothing, but just winked at his subordinates behind him. The subordinates understood, and soon a transparent triangular crystal was presented.
"This is our famous lie detector in our country. When someone is lying, it will automatically flash red light. If they are telling the truth, it will automatically flash blue light.
How about using this lie detector to determine whether you're lying or not? "
The child raised his hand slightly, and his subordinates followed his actions, striding forward and holding up the triangular crystal high in front of Pang Ningchun, indicating that she should take the triangular crystal and take a lie detector test in public.
Faced with this sudden test, Pang Ningchun just raised his eyebrows, sneered, and picked up the triangular crystal without any hesitation.
This action was completely unexpected by everyone. Even Xu Ren'er and his people couldn't believe that Pang Ningchun dared to take it down like this.
Xu Ren'er was not afraid of this lie detector. From the information conveyed in her dream, she knew very well that this so-called lie detector was similar to the psychological lie detector used in modern times.
It mainly depends on whether your heart will be shaken when you lie. As long as you can keep your mind calm, you can even use this lie detector to deceive the other person and achieve your own goals.
However, this lie detector came so suddenly, and she hadn't revealed anything to Pang Ningchun. How could she have dared to pick it up directly?!
Xu Ren'er looked at Pang Ningchun, puzzled, hoping to find out the truth from her.
At this time, Pang Ningchun just held the triangular crystal confidently and waited for the child king's questions.
As for the child king, the moment Pang Ningchun picked up the triangular crystal without hesitation, he already had the answer in his heart.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Marrow-sucking Country?"
Pang Ningchun responded forcefully:
“Traveling, passing by, without a destination.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the triangular crystal in Pang Ningchun's hand, waiting for its reaction.
Time passed by little by little, and everyone was almost getting impatient, but the triangular crystal did not respond at all, emitting neither red light nor blue light. It remained the same as before.
For such a long time, Xu Ren'er's brain had been working. Seeing that the triangular crystal did not move, Xu Ren'er slowly shifted his gaze to Pang Ningchun.
Pang Ningchun noticed her gaze and smiled extremely brightly and confidently.
I see!
Seeing this smile, Xu Ren'er suddenly understood why Pang Ningchun dared to pick up the triangular crystal without any hesitation.
It turned out that she had already figured out that this triangular crystal was fake!
