Li Yuan raised her head, her dark eyes fixed on the two of them, "I still want to try it, if not for anything else, just for this poison."
She has been studying medicine and poison for so many years, including her past life and this life, which is nearly thirty years in total, and has almost exhausted all of her youth.
In this life, I am destined to be associated with medicine and poison, and I can never get rid of it.
As the saying goes, it's hard to find a worthy opponent, but it's hard to find a true friend. Although Hong Xie cannot be considered a true friend, she has to admit that this zombie poison has greatly changed her understanding of the ancients.
Hong Xie is an extremely rare opponent.
She was willing to accept the challenge.
As for the many problems she will face later, although Li Yuan does not want to encounter them, if they are unavoidable, she can only go ahead with it.
Li Yuan's answer was actually already expected by both of them, so no one showed too much surprise.
Wei Jie didn't say anything. Along the way, this girl's clear-cut character of distinguishing between gratitude and resentment had made him realize that once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
What surprised him was Gong Zi Yan's reaction. Was he a little too enthusiastic?
"Since this is your decision, I respect you. At the same time, I promise you that as long as you need it, the City That Never Sleeps will always be your backer."
Are you just giving away the favor like that?
Even Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, "I'm not hallucinating? Are you kidding me?"
Gongzi Yan raised his head, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Are my words so unreliable?"
"No, no, why, why?"
The City That Never Sleeps, the City That Never Sleeps that even the Dragon Empire wants to curry favor with. In front of the huge enemy that she is about to face, he can actually say such reckless words so calmly.
How could this not shock Li Yuan?
"Why? Why are there so many whys? The Never-Sleeping City is mine now, and I can make the decision however I want. Why? You don't want to?"
Li Yuan swallowed hard, "Yes, I must have it. How can I not have it? But, isn't this pie a little too big?"
If she swallowed it like this, would she get stuck?
Others may not know, but she knows that this city that never sleeps is far from what outsiders see. His hidden power is probably unimaginable to others.
Mojia Village is the predecessor of the City That Never Sleeps, and there is also the Dragon Empire, which evolved from the original Jin Kingdom.
Wait, wait a minute, speaking of this, doesn’t the City That Never Sleeps have some kind of magical relationship with the Dragon Empire?
The young lord of the City That Never Sleeps now says he wants to help her. Does that also mean that they are currently in opposition to the force that is trying to destroy the City That Never Sleeps?
If this is the case, it is not difficult to understand why Gongzi Yan said he would help her.
After thinking this through, Li Yuan felt that the pressure on his shoulders was not as heavy as before.
"If you can't swallow it all at once, then swallow it slowly. How about this proposal, do you want to trade with me?"
Li Yuan nodded his head like a rattle. "Yes, yes. Let's trade. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Keep your word. If I really come to you in the future, you can't beat around the bush with me."
Gongzi Yan twitched his lips speechlessly, and immediately threw a black token to Li Yuan, "This is the Black Jade Token of the Never-Sleeping City. There are no more than five of them in the world. I'm giving one to you now, take it!"
Li Yuan stared at the smooth and translucent ink-colored token in his hand like a fool. The token emitted a dazzling dark light, especially the extra-large ink character on it, which seemed to represent the meaning of its existence at once.
Li Yuan's throat was a little dry, and she used a lot of strength to raise her head and look at Gong Zi Yan, "You, you just gave it to me like this? Isn't this too, too casual?"
It was as casual as if it was cabbage, and not the black jade order that he casually uttered, of which there were no more than five in the world.
Gongzi Yan stared at her, his eyes cold and his lips icy, and every word he said was indifferent: "If you want to get the support of My Never-Sleeping City, you have to show some strength. Although you now have the Black Jade Order, it does not mean that you have enough power to mobilize troops. You should use your strength to convince the people of My Never-Sleeping City first."
And the first challenge, of course, is the public enemy that all the people have to face now - the zombie poison.
Li Yuan naturally understood the reason behind this. She nodded and tightened her hand holding the Black Jade Order slightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Gongzi Yan didn't waste any words, but turned to look at Wei Jie who had been silent from beginning to end, "Your Highness the Phoenix King, as a witness, isn't it time for you to express your opinion?"
The Never-Sleeping City has stood on Li Yuan's right side at all costs, so what about her fiancé, His Highness the Phoenix King?
Wei Jie watched the whole thing from beginning to end, and although he didn't say anything, he witnessed the tacit understanding between Li Yuan and Gongzi Yan, which seemed invisible but was actually tangible.
Perhaps even they themselves did not realize how perfectly they fit each other.
It was so perfect that even when Gongzi Yan threw out such a tempting black jade order, he did not feel the slightest bit surprised.
What's even more ridiculous is that he even felt that the token should have belonged to Li Yuan.
Now being asked this question by Gongzi Yan, the smile on Wei Jie's lips became even deeper. Why did he feel like a pimp?
Isn't this Young Master Yan openly supporting Li Yuan?
This brat, although young, is quite cunning.
How on earth did such an ugly girl catch his eye?
Was he really like him, attracted by her unparalleled medical and poison skills?
"Why? Your Highness the Phoenix King is unwilling?"
You're still urging me to do it?
Li Yuan was about to speak, but Wei Jie said before her: "You don't need to remind me. I will naturally stand on her side."
Li Yuan was slightly startled, then looked up, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Wei Jie did not look at her, but instead stared straight ahead and said calmly: "Even if this king does not want to, his current status necessitates that he do things that correspond to his status, so he must do this."
On the contrary, when the day comes that he is no longer His Royal Highness the Phoenix King of Siyou Kingdom, no one will be able to force power on him that he does not want to be imposed on.
Li Yuan finally understood that the other person did this not for her, but for his status.
Haha, I was just overthinking it.
It seems that the relationship between them can only remain at the level of mutual benefit.
In other words, from the very beginning, when the two people asked her at the same time, they were also trying to test her.
If she didn't even have the courage to bear such pressure, perhaps nothing would have happened later?
Even Wei Jie might consider the candidate for the Phoenix Princess?
As he thought about it, Li Yuan couldn't help but let out a long breath. As expected, life is full of traps.
Once they realized what was happening, the three of them quickly made arrangements for what was happening in the secret room.
After all, the City That Never Sleeps is Gongzi Yan's territory. After hearing that Hong Xie used a conveyor belt to transport Baili Fu away, he immediately sent people to search for her in all directions.
At the same time, he looked at Li Yuan and said, "Although we have sent out personnel, we have not found anything in any direction so far. We don't even know whether the final destination of this conveyor belt is inside or outside the City That Never Sleeps. Do you think there is a possibility that the other party's purpose may not be as wide-ranging as we imagined?"
"You saw the signal flare just now, right? Since it was sent by Hong Xie, there must be a follow-up plan."
Somehow, Gongzi Yan's words seemed to remind Wei Jie, "From what you said, it seems that the original purpose of these people was to destroy the Never-Sleeping City. Could it be that the other side of this conveyor belt is inside the Never-Sleeping City?"
Gongzi Yan's heart trembled, and his face stiffened for a moment.
Li Yuan's brows also furrowed. "If the conveyor belt is inside the Never-Sleeping City, then where is the best location to defeat the Never-Sleeping City?"
Gongzi Yan's body suddenly shook, and his pair of cold eyes looked straight at the two of them. The three of them immediately saw a possibility from each other's eyes.
The three of them shouted in unison: "Not good, a life of luxury and debauchery!"
The three of them had no time to care about anything else and immediately ran towards the place of decadence and extravagance. While moving, not only Gongzi Yan, but even Wei Jie began to pass the message to their own people hiding in the dark.
Only Li Yuan was immersed in the undigested news, and asked Hei Chun in Dantian: "What do you think that woman will become?"
"Since it was created by the Red Evil at the cost of his life, its strength should not be underestimated. Don't forget that woman is not weak in herself. If she is given the source of poison, it may become even more difficult to approach. These are not the most important things. What I am worried about is,"
Li Yuan's heart trembled, "What is it?"
