Chapter 35 As expected of my subordinate, he's amazing! ...
Shu Xin reflected deeply on herself—even asking the cook, Mei Meilin, would have been more reliable than asking Xi!
Shu Xin sternly warned Xi to stop plotting against the flower fairies. After confirming that he had truly taken her words to heart, she finally let him go.
As evening approached, Shu Xin organized her thoughts and called Peng Peng'an into the living room.
Not seeing Nonori in the reception room, Pengpengan was very excited: "Your Highness! Is there something you need me to do?"
Shu Xin pursed her lips: "There is something I need to tell you, Peng Peng An. I understand that you can't accept it. I will find a way to transfer you away from this place of evil."
Before Pengpeng'an could even utter a word in alarm, Shuxin skillfully downplayed the seriousness of the situation and embellished the events leading up to it:
“Let me finish speaking, Peng Peng’an. I was not sent to the Land of Sin by His Majesty the King to purify the sinners, as you think. On the contrary, His Majesty the King does not care about the situation in the Land of Sin. I angered the King and was banished from the Flower Castle in the capital. His Majesty the King ordered me to go to my own territory. I came to the Land of Sin on my own initiative.”
She lowered her eyes, adopting a very sorrowful expression:
“The magical situation in the Land of Sin has greatly improved, and I am truly gratified. I hope that every flower fairy can find joy and happiness. However, the patrol envoy is coming soon, Peng Peng An. Although the Land of Sin really needs you, I don’t want to deceive you anymore. After the patrol envoy sees me, he will definitely report my current situation to His Majesty. I don’t know how His Majesty will deal with me, but I don’t want to implicate you either. Peng Peng An, you can leave before the patrol envoy arrives.”
The red-haired flower fairy was utterly shocked. His lips trembled, and he suddenly burst into tears, large tears rolling down his jewel-like red eyes: "By the Goddess of Flowers... By the Goddess of Flowers... Your Highness! I had no idea you had endured so much pain and torment!"
He wiped away his tears and choked out:
"As your subordinate, even if you went to the land of sin on your own initiative, even if you were banished to the land of sin, even if you were driven out of the Kingdom of Ganar, I will still follow you, Your Highness! Your Majesty, Your Majesty only has your own considerations, Your Highness, I understand your noble ideals! There is no flower fairy as kind and benevolent as you, Your Highness. Please don't say anything about implicating me, and don't tell me to leave. I am your dedicated subordinate, Your Highness! Without you, what difference is there between me and a withered flower without branches and leaves!"
When Shu Xin heard Peng Peng An say this, she knew that she had successfully misled Peng Peng An—she twisted the fact that "Shu Shu Xin committed suicide and angered the king, and was banished to the Land of Sin" into "Shu Shu Xin tried to purify the Land of Sin and angered the king, and went to the Land of Sin on her own after being banished from the capital."
The loyal tax collector has already begun to think of ways to help his master:
“Your Highness, I understand your current situation. I will never leave you, and you can always trust my loyalty! You don't need to worry, Your Highness, as long as the patrolmen don't find you in the Land of Sin! My parents and brothers are still in your former territory. I can send them a message, pretending that you are recuperating in the Flower Castle within your territory. The patrolmen won't be so tactless as to disturb the royal family. As for here, Your Highness, you can disguise yourself as a government official, just like when we went to the wheat market to buy wheat seeds!”
Peng Peng'an tried to comfort the flower fairy in front of him, who looked sad: "His Majesty the King just doesn't understand you yet, Princess. I believe you will succeed. Once you have completely purified the land of sin, His Majesty the King will understand you. You don't need to worry too much!"
"As for Nonori, leave that to me!" He patted his chest confidently. "I'll make sure he doesn't go around spreading rumors!"
Later, Shu Xin asked Nuonuo Li out of curiosity, wanting to know how Peng Peng An "dealt with" him.
Because he could eat the magical mutton soup every day, Nono's purple stubble, which had been short and close to his scalp due to old age and frailty, had grown to shoulder length. The old gentleman, with his low ponytail, smiled helplessly when he heard the flower fairy's question:
“Your Highness, he told me that you came to such a barren and wicked place because you were carrying out a secret decree given by His Majesty the King. Therefore, you need to hide your whereabouts from the patrol envoy and not reveal your identity. He also warned me not to ask too many questions, otherwise he would report me for not paying enough taxes and demote me to a slave and send me directly to prison.”
To be fair, the tiger skin was pulled off quite well, and the threat was very effective.
Shu Xin: As expected of my subordinate.
I never expected that Peng Peng An, who looks so handsome, would be so good at making up stories. Now there are three versions of why she came to the Land of Sin to choose from!
After making thorough preparations in the land of sin, the patrol arrived unexpectedly.
The patrolman, riding a white-feathered bird, entered the land of sin at dawn.
She must possess some kind of stealth-type innate magic. This flower fairy with long, pale gray hair and golden-pink eyes passed through the white wall conjured by high-level defensive magic without causing the slightest magical fluctuation. The reason she was discovered was simply because Xi had placed numerous eyes along the edge of the Sinful Lands territory—
Shu Xin initially thought that the "eyes" were some kind of magic. In fact, it could be considered racial magic. These eyes, which were placed on the edge of the territory, were all pried out of Xi's own eye sockets. After realizing Shu Xin's misunderstanding, he wanted to show Shu Xin his powerful regenerative ability on the spot, but Shu Xin picked him up by his two front hooves and threw him out of the bedroom window.
Before the sun rose, the heavy darkness of the pre-dawn hour enveloped the earth. Shu Xin was still fast asleep when a jet-black eye appeared above the head of the little lamb sleeping sprawled out next to her. The golden pupil looked around before jumping out of its socket and spinning in the air, projecting a dynamic image.
Xi yawned, then opened her eyes and nudged the flower fairy beside her: "Wake up, don't sleep, Shuxin? Wake up, that patrolman you mentioned earlier is here!"
Shu Xin yawned, rubbed her eyes, and sat up. When she looked up, she met a pair of golden-pink eyes that seemed to have gathered all the clouds in the sky.
Despite possessing incredibly gentle and bright eyes, they were filled with an extremely sharp killing intent. Her wildly flowing, grayish-white hair resembled the heavy clouds in the sky brewing a blizzard. With just one glance, Shu Xin, who was still drowsy, instantly became wide awake.
The next second, both her golden-pink eyes and her long, grayish-blue hair vanished. Shu Xin only heard Xi let out a small gasp:
"By the Demon King! I finally believe you are elves! How did your patrolmen manage that? That's incredible! Just now, all 367 eyes I released were gouged out!"
