Chapter 287 The Target is the Princess



Holding the talisman array, Xia Xiao and Azhu sat on the side, watching him tell Hu Bugui about his condition. The fat monk talked with great interest, and finally talked about what happened in the side hall today. He boasted about himself, not like a monk. Hu Bugui did not respond, but listened silently. When he stopped talking, he asked:

"Why would you look for me instead of someone from Tanghua Temple for this kind of thing?"

"You are such a heartless person. If I hadn't come here to help you, who would I have come to do it for? If not you, who would I have come to do it for?"

Hu Bugui snorted coldly. This monk Xuyun likes to make excuses more and more. If his former master knew about this, he would definitely give him a lecture. But what monk Xuyun said was indeed right. Now he was doing all this for the task he had given to Xia Xiao. Therefore, he had to be ordered around by him a few times.

"I'll give you a clear prescription tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then go away."

They quarreled every day, and Xia Xiao had seen it many times on the way to the royal court. But he thought that Monk Xuyun really knew medicine, but he was only a half-baked one. If he was not a senior, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as careless. But he was really a guy who was good at Gao Chao's disguise, hiding himself so well.

"Senior, it's getting late, go to bed early."

The talisman array was returned to the scroll, and Xia Xiao made his intention clear before Xuyun left. He touched his head, not knowing why Xia Xiao looked unhappy. But for people at his level, time is no longer important, because what he needs is the opportunity to advance. Without that insight, no matter how much time he has, he will not be able to break through. But Xia Xiao is different. His little tree needs vitality to water it and grow. He needs time!

Xia Xiao was naturally in a bad mood because he had wasted all the time from this afternoon to now. After Ah Zhu was driven back to his room, he was able to stand under the candle and move the pink peach blossom petals in his left palm. There was no black air floating on the petals. But Xia Xiao clearly felt anxious this afternoon. Could it be that he felt that he had wasted time? Or was it just a psychological effect?

Turning his feet, Xia Xiao's palms faced many directions, but to no avail. This situation was different from Yugu Dragon Palace. Xia Xiao scratched his head, a little confused, but he could only explore again tomorrow.

Taking off his clothes, Xia Xiao sat cross-legged in the lotus position and began to absorb vital energy. The vital energy nourished the vital energy tree in his body, making it grow stronger and making Xia Xiao stronger.

With his mind wandering in the sea, Xia Xiao went to see Xiaoyu and chatted with her. With these three fish, Xia Xiao felt relieved. Xiaoyu's personality required someone to accompany her. They went ashore as usual, and when talking with Ju Mang, he called Huo Dou away from Huoshan.

This sturdy big dog always appears domineering. He descends from the sky, shaking the ground and scaring Xiaoyu. But this guy's left eye cannot be healed. Although the eye has recovered some vision, the pupil has changed. The original red eye has turned dark yellow, and it will remain forever, along with several scars on the eyelid.

This is the only wound on Huodou's body. He would not be hurt normally, but there are always people who are better than you.

When they were chatting, Xia Xiao complained about the fat monk's sense of time. Even if it was a small matter, Xia Xiao would only talk to them. No one else.

Leaning against the growing vitality tree, the three beasts in front of Xia Xiao showed their faces. Their distinct personalities made Xia Xiao absent-minded. He stopped talking while talking. He was not in a very good mental state now because he was a little tired. He fell asleep to Xiaoyu's lullaby without lyrics, lying on the green grass. Xiaoyu lay beside him, Huodou lay beside him, and Ju Mang stood in the wind, with his wings wrapped up, sleeping like leaning against a wall.

The bright sunshine was warm, the wind was clean, and there was only the smell of grass and the sea. When Xia Xiao woke up, the room was already bright, giving him a feeling of being in another world.

I stretched myself, and Ah Zhu next door was still sleeping in the quilt. Xia Xiao knocked on the door and called her, but after a long while she just said "I woke up a long time ago", but in fact she was frantically getting dressed.

The maids didn't expect them to wake up so early, and immediately started to get busy, preparing water for washing. After everything was done and breakfast was over, the fat monk asked Hu Bugui for the prescription under the talisman formation taken over by Xia Xiao.

Although the fat monk is a warrior and it is not difficult for him to cast this kind of talisman formation, it is difficult to get in touch with Hu Bugui. If there is no prior connection of vitality, it is impossible to communicate through the talisman formation over a long distance. This is not like the mobile phone that Xia Xiao used before, which only requires entering a number.

With the prescription, the fat monk went to find the princess. Xia Xiao wanted to refuse to go with him because he had to find a way to confirm whether the woman was there. But the fat monk said this was a good opportunity and forced Xia Xiao to go. He had no choice but to take Ah Zhu with him.

Today, the short and thin monk wanted to practice martial arts, and he stood upside down at the door as soon as the fat monk left. Yesterday, he washed clothes at this place, and today he stood upside down at the main entrance of the Golden Pavilion, which made the maids think that he came to humiliate Gou Longbang and was displeased.

"Why do you always work at the gate?"

The young monk tilted his head to look at the beautiful maid, whose skirt was very short, allowing him to see deep into her thighs. That kind of private area made him blush and he fell to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, he did not fall under the maid's skirt, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"I...I'm waiting here for Master to come back."

The young monk put his hands together and bowed to apologize. But the maid said "oh" and thought it was a good excuse.

There were thousands of maids with different personalities, but when they looked at the little monk or Xia Xiao and others, they all showed false respect. They did not welcome outsiders, and this palace belonged only to the Gou Longbang clan.

The fat monk noticed this kind of look and was already used to it. Xia Xiao looked at him with disdain, and only Ah Zhu asked him in a low voice:

"Why are they looking at us like that?"

Xia Xiao shrugged his shoulders and didn't want to explain. He couldn't say that he was just doing something unnecessary, or even annoying. But when passing by a side hall, the fat monk said:

"Don't you want to go to the bathroom? Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."

Xia Xiao nodded, slowly understanding the fat monk's intention. This seemed to be the center of the entire palace, not far from the harem and the throne room, so he went into the toilet and urged the peach petals in his hand in the somewhat strong smell. It really reacted and slightly shifted towards the back of the palace. That was the direction Xia Xiao was going to go. He ran out of the toilet, returned to everyone, and continued to go to the princess.

Looking at the fat monk's wrinkled head, Xia Xiao felt that his treatment of the princess was not as simple as it seemed. At least he was not looking for trouble, or just acting out of spite or to get the treatment he wanted. Although Xia Xiao had never talked about the content of his mission, he felt that this senior already knew it.

After entering the princess' room, the fat monk said:

"Everyone, get out. I need to ask the princess some private questions about her condition."

The maid left first, but the practitioner who had been guarding the princess' room did not leave. The fat monk turned his head to look at him, and then he spoke:

"I have to keep the princess safe."

"Can I eat the princess? I want to ask the princess about women's physiology. Do you think it's appropriate to stay here?"

Although the words were rough, the logic was not rough. The middle-aged practitioner was a little confused, but the princess said softly:

"Uncle Gu, go out first."

The cultivator replied, but he did not forget to take a look at the fat monk and Xia Xiao. The fat monk was Xuyun, no doubt, he had seen him before, but this Fang Huanyuanbei seemed a little mysterious, was he really just a lay disciple?

The room without the torch stand and people seemed particularly empty. The fat monk looked back and said:

“You guys do your own thing.”

Xia Xiao also replied, and in the empty room, he urged the peach blossom petals to move. Its reaction suddenly became strong, and it moved slightly towards the princess's caged bed.

"Princess……"

Ah Zhu covered her mouth as soon as she said two words. Fortunately, the sound was not loud. Xia Xiao glanced at her. Fortunately, the fat monk was talking to the princess, so she didn't hear it. Otherwise, she would explain again. She was not afraid of explaining to the princess, but she was afraid that she would tell others. If she did, it would make them look more suspicious.

"What's going on?"

Ah Zhu secretly asked Xia Xiao, but he didn't know. He just looked at the fat monk nearby, with respect and surprise in his eyes. This fat monk was not as simple as he thought. Everything he did seemed to be leading him to the princess. Could it be that he had already noticed it, but was just not sure? But how could he know the content of his mission? Regarding the peach blossom in his hand, not to mention outsiders, even in the entire wilderness, only himself and Ah Zhu, as well as Senior Hu Bugui and the eldest sister knew about it.

The fat monk was always by his side during every communication, and the senior never mentioned a word about this, so how did he smell it?

"I have prescribed medicine for the princess. You are weak and your condition is somewhat special. Just one bowl of medicine a day will be enough. I will boil it for you today. You only need to send two people to learn and master the process."

The princess agreed, and Xia Xiao followed the fat monk out of the room.

The practitioner at the door went in as soon as he saw them coming in, and stayed at his post. After a while, he came out again, called two maids, and asked them to follow the fat monk to boil medicine.

"But the doctor girl?"

After the two maids said yes, the fat monk nodded slightly and followed them to the pharmacy, while Xia Xiao took Azhu back.

After walking a few steps, the fat monk called out to the ascetics in the princess' room, saying:

"Take away all the animals in the corridor. These lions are full of stench. There must be no animals around the princess' room, no birds in the sky, no too many people around her every day, and no pungent smell on her clothes."

The fat monk was not the only one who said this. The practitioner ordered people to take the birds and beasts, and the extra maids and guards to evacuate the palace. With him around, there was no need for guards. Afterwards, the cautious practitioner issued a death order that from now on, only himself and the two maids could enter, and the rest must be intercepted outside the palace. No matter who wanted to come in, they had to get his approval.

Of course, the fat monk also falls into this category! When the guard said yes, the Peace Palace became exceptionally deserted, but the air was surprisingly good.

"Without the lion, it really doesn't stink anymore."

The practitioner, whom the princess called Uncle Bone, touched his nose and waved his hands, and all the odors were dispelled outside the Peace Palace. There was only a natural and fresh smell around him. He smelled it and thought that some green plants could be added. He wanted to ask the fat monk for his opinion. In this regard, it is better not to be blind. After all, there was no candle last night, and after opening the window, the princess coughed much less.
