Their gazes clashed in the air, each revealing their own hidden thoughts.
"Hey, Jiang Cha, what are you doing? I told you to lure Nangong Ling out, why are you looking at Shakya?"
"Could it be that you're interested in monks?"
"Save your breath. Even if you're interested in Buddha, he's unlikely to be interested in you. Let's get down to business first."
Li Muge, hiding in the shadows, transmitted her voice to Jiang Cha. Yun Qi's lips twitched slightly. Who the hell told her he would be interested in monks?
Nangong Ling did indeed arrive.
Actually, Li Muge's slap wasn't hard. Li Muge only thought Nangong Ling was an ignorant little girl, so he didn't kill her.
It was just to teach Nangong Ling a lesson.
After taking some high-quality healing pills, Nangong Ling was fine. However, when she came to see Yun Qi this time, she pretended to be seriously injured.
"Young Master Jiang, what are you doing here?" Nangong Ling, supported by a servant, accidentally fell into Yun Qi's arms.
Yun Qi clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, suppressing his murderous intent.
Li Muge was still there, completely unaware, and full of interest.
"Jiang Cha, I have high hopes for you. Keep it up and show off your acting skills."
Yun Qi: "..."
"It's alright, Princess. I'm just curious why these lowly villagers are imprisoned?"
Little novice monk: "..."
Ye Luo and Shakyamuni exchanged a glance.
Even with Ye Luo's good temper, he couldn't help but say, "Young Master Jiang, I really didn't see that coming."
"You only have a human body, but beneath this beautiful exterior, you're probably worse than a beast."
“Princess Nangong Ling, I advise you not to just look at a man’s appearance, but to see how many legs he has and how many relationships he has.”
"Indeed, Benefactor Jiang, this humble monk did not expect that you not only spied on other young girls bathing while you were engaged, but now you have even found another one. Do you really not take Miss Li seriously at all?"
Shakyamuni's eyes were sarcastic.
Yun Qi was speechless, unsure how to respond for a moment.
Li Muge said anxiously, "Jiang Cha, I have faith in you. From now on, whatever I say, you will say!"
Upon hearing Li Muge's telepathic message, Yun Qi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Li Muge thought of his lines: "You monk, what right do you have to slander me? You need to provide evidence before you speak. Do you have any evidence?"
"The moment I saw the princess, I was deeply captivated by her beauty and lively personality."
"The little flame of love is burning brightly."
"Hurry up and say it like that," Jiang Cha said, then added a gesture before tenderly taking the princess's hand.
Yun Qi's eye twitched. He followed Li Muge's words and added his exaggerated and affected movements.
It's the kind of look that makes almost anyone who sees it want to slap you.
His acting was so realistic that Li Muge almost wanted to punch him.
But the princess didn't think so. She knew that with her looks, how could any man not be attracted to her?
Moreover, Jiang Cha was deeply in love with her, so it must have been love at first sight.
The young novice monk realized something was wrong: "You scumbag! Where's Sister Li? She's disappeared. Did you harm her? She's your fiancée, and she loves you so much."
"What did you do to her? Where did she go?"
Nangong Ling thought of the woman in red who had injured her; it turned out that Jiang Cha really was her fiancé.
After learning that Jiang Cha had a fiancée, Nangong Ling did not have any doubts about Jiang Cha's character.
Since that guy surnamed Li dared to injure me.
Then she would steal her fiancé away.
Nangong Ling could almost imagine how heartbroken that woman would be.
"You human children are really annoying. So what if Jiang Cha has a fiancée? They're not married yet, are they?"
"It would be too selfish to bind someone just because of a marriage contract."
Yun Qi held Nangong Ling's hand affectionately: "Princess, you understand me best."
"These ordinary mortals are nothing but cats and dogs; how can they compare to the princess's pure and refined beauty?"
"Of course." Nangong Ling looked up smugly, but when she caught sight of Ye Luo's face, she felt displeased.
If it weren't for the bet, she would have had this woman's face ruined.
She's so beautiful; being with her would make me stand out in the crowd instead of her.
Yun Qi followed Nangong Ling back to her high-rise building that was suspended in the sky.
As planned, Li Muge and Nangong Ling and Huanglian Xianjun were discussing their bet when they entered the floating mirror and recorded their conversation and expressions.
It appeared in the village that was sealed off by the immortals.
By this time, the villagers were so hungry that they were emaciated and could barely walk.
My legs and hands were swollen from hunger.
Those who had already been killed by the brain-eating demons couldn't even have their bodies buried by them.
The entire village was filled with the stench of rotting corpses.
Some were so hungry they were on the verge of death, practically halfway to their doom.
Meanwhile, Nangong Ling and Huanglian Xianjun lived a life of luxury in a high-rise building suspended in the sky.
Nangong Ling only took one bite of the pastry before deciding it was too good to waste and tossed it back onto the plate.
"Immortal Lord, it's been almost ten days, why haven't they started cannibalism yet? Didn't they say that in the past, when there was no food, these people would even search for and eat their own children?"
Nangong Ling spoke in the most innocent tone, yet uttered malicious words that speculated about people's hearts.
Every villager present felt humiliated.
It turns out that the suffering they had endured these days was intentional on the part of the immortals.
Humans worship immortals, hoping they will protect them, but they never expected that the immortals would only regard them as some kind of clown.
