Yun Qi curled his lips into a smile, but what he said was so infuriating it would kill anyone.
"To be honest, Li Muge, I didn't expect you to be so bad at drinking. It's a good thing you're drinking with me. If you were drinking with someone else, someone like you would basically say goodbye to the word 'intelligence' after drinking."
"No, to be honest, you're lucky you met a gentleman like me. If it were someone else, they'd probably be bald by now."
Yun Qi paused, seemingly concerned for her, but in reality, he was purely mocking her.
Phoenixes cherish their feathers the most.
Li Muge was furious. She raised her hands, and they transformed into wings: "Yun Qi, what are you saying? Look, aren't these feathers?"
"Hehe, and, he's bald, Yun Qi, what kind of taste do you have? It's ridiculous. And you're saying that? Hehe, what truth is that?"
Li Muge was so angry that she couldn't even speak properly. If she hadn't already been reborn, she would have pointed the Phoenix Cry Sword at Yun Qi and made him open his dog eyes and take a good look.
The fiery red feathers are so beautiful. Why does Yun Qi say she's bald?
Wait a minute, being bald means she has fewer feathers.
When she's drunk, she doesn't reveal her true form in front of Yun Qi, and then Yun Qi thinks she's bald.
Her arch-enemy actually thought she was a phoenix bald woman.
Li Muge's eyes blazed with fury, as if she were about to fight Yun Qi to the death.
Little Peony stood not far away, her hands clenched tightly: "What should we do? Ox-Head, the Protector is very protective of his reputation. What if our Protector suffers losses when the fight breaks out?"
"What are you afraid of? Little Peony, can't you be a little more manly? It would be even better if we fought."
Compared to Xiao Shaoyao's worries, Niu Zhan seemed eager to try: "Our protectors' hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed outside the Demon Palace. As long as the protectors fight the Demon Lord, the army will also flatten the Demon Palace. The protectors will definitely trample Yun Qi under their feet. At that time, the protectors will be the Demon Lord."
Niu Zhan felt his heart surge with excitement just thinking about the scene. It was such a pity that they didn't fight last time. This time... "Hmph." As Niu Zhan thought about it, he suddenly remembered that Li Muge said she wouldn't fight anymore, but it was this little peony beside him who woke her up.
They managed to make the Dharma Protector look like he had no brains. Otherwise, he would have done something completely different before setting off.
The Dharma protector also swore a blood oath with everyone.
They vowed not to give up until they seized the position of Demon Lord.
Why would they suddenly change their minds when they were only one step away from victory?
This little brat is so ignorant. Before waking up the Dharma protector, why didn't she check the auspicious time or anything?
Thinking of this, he said gruffly, "Little girl, let me tell you, don't disturb the Protector's plans. If the Protector loses his mood for doing big things again..."
Niu Zhan swiftly held his broadsword to Xiao Shaoyao's neck and said viciously, "Otherwise, I will definitely not let you off this time."
Little Peony: "·········"
What did she do to deserve this?
Seeing that Li Muge seemed ready to fight him to the death, Yun Qi thought to himself, "If I had known it would be so easy to provoke Li Muge, why would I have gone through all this trouble?"
So what if the phoenix is noble?
It's not that they're stupid, but that they're so easily provoked.
Right now.
More important than killing Yun Qi, Li Muge realized that she couldn't go bald. No, she had to go back and find some secret recipes to make her feathers grow quickly.
Yun Qi has always been extremely shrewd and calculating.
As long as Li Muge decides to kill him, he will fake his death to fulfill Li Muge's wish.
Without him in the Demon Realm, Li Muge will undoubtedly become the Demon Lord.
Unexpectedly, just as Yun Qi was about to perform a symbolic spell, Li Muge walked away, clutching her head and muttering the secret formula to herself.
Yun Qi's eyes twitched involuntarily. He couldn't help but wonder if Li Muge was deliberately playing a trick on him.
His hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, slowly turned the prayer beads.
Hold on, this woman still has value, we should keep her.
Niu Zhan and Xiao Shaoyao also found it unbelievable and disappointing.
Niu Zhan stood next to Xiao Shaoyao: "What? You're not going to fight? Is the Protector out of his mind? This Demon Lord is clearly within reach."
"Hmph, you idiot! My protector's brain isn't broken; if it is, it's you who's broken." Little Peony raised her foot and stomped hard on Niu Zhan's foot, even "crushing" it a few times before running away.
-------
Upon returning to her palace, Li Muge transformed back into her phoenix form.
It tucked its head into the feathers.
Little Peony was particularly worried. She cautiously walked up to Li Muge, but dared not reach out to touch him.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, reborn from the ashes.
The Dharma Protector has gone through it all.
"Guardian, don't listen to what the Demon Lord says. Guardian, haven't you noticed anything?" Little Peony squatted down and lowered her voice, as if she were telling Li Muge some little secret.
"Hmm, Protector, don't you often tell your subordinates that if you rely on men, pigs can fly? And you can't trust what men say; they're the best at lying."
Li Muge then poked her head out: "But, Little Peony, I just calculated that there are fifteen feathers missing. Adding the one given to Yun Qi, it makes exactly sixteen."
Little Peony: "·········"
I never expected that the guardian, who is usually so heroic and valiant, would ever show fear to the enemy, no matter how powerful they were on the battlefield. I never expected that it would be just a few feathers.
No, that won't work.
We must not despise the Dharma protectors.
Little Peony tried her best to empathize with Li Muge, wishing that someone would pluck even a single petal from her.
Yes, just thinking about this scene made the flower wreath on Little Peony's head seem to sense her mood and immediately wilted.
This is terrible.
Little Peony shook her head, about to comfort Li Muge, when unexpectedly Li Muge suddenly reverted to his original form, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"No, Little Peony, this protector absolutely cannot swallow this insult."
Li Muge had come up with a comprehensive plan.
Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; if provoked, they will surely enrage.
What Li Muge wanted to do was to remove Yun Qi's Achilles' heel.
Teach Fu Jin'an, that dragon, to behave properly.
Not only did they touch her favorite feathers, but they also dared to look down on her for being bald.
Li Muge had already planned it all out. After she had dealt with Yun Qi's most sensitive point, she would run away with her army.
Marry him? Dream on.
There's a saying that goes, "When choosing a wife, choose a virtuous one."
In other words...
The same principle applies to marriage.
Li Muge would never marry Yun Qi, that lunatic, as her husband; that would be a sin against her ancestors.
Upon learning of Li Muge's plan, Little Peony frowned slightly, her voice still somewhat childish: "Guardian, this subordinate does not understand?"
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you would take down the Demon Lord and make him your slave? How come you dare to provoke him now? Won't the Demon Lord have an even worse impression of you? What will you do if you can't take down the Demon Lord then?"
"Sigh!" Li Muge's eyes were complicated. Well, it was really hard to say this out loud. Little Peony was like a child, so she decided not to tell her.
