Chapter 395: There Must Be a Stick in the Shit Tank
"Well said! You are worthy of being my daughter!" Demon Lord Boyan seemed very satisfied. "The demons have never respected the will of heaven. A mere auspicious sign is nothing more than a plaything."
Lingxiang almost choked on her own saliva. She glanced at the Demon Lord awkwardly, but she was secretly complaining in her heart: It's just nonsense, but someone actually believed it.
This Demon Lord must be a fool, right?
However, Lingxiang did not show any expression on her face, because she did not want to keep the peace at all.
Even though he's been hit on the head, is he still supposed to greet him with a smile?
"Ouch! How come I stepped on your hand and you didn't say anything?" Lingxiang pretended to be surprised and quickly raised her foot. "It's as if I'm bullying you."
"Although you servants should understand the rules, we can't be masters who mistreat our servants. It would be bad if we were criticized for no reason."
Lingxiang kept calling her servant and master, which made Yinghua furious. However, she didn't dare to lose her temper and could only endure it in silence. However...
But this hand hurts so much!
But Lingxiang didn't give Yinghuan a chance to relax and continued talking to herself.
"As a servant, it's good that you're thinking of your master. But there's one thing I don't understand..." Lingxiang dragged out her words, as if to keep someone in suspense. "Since you valued the auspicious omen so much, why didn't you stop it back then? Instead, you rushed to the Demon Lord's Palace to slander him?"
"I……"
I don't!
Yinghuan wanted to retort, but she didn't dare. She had indeed intended to use the Demon Lord to get rid of Lingxiang, but she hadn't expected the little girl to be so difficult to deal with, and she had actually fallen into her trap. If she went to Lingxiang and caused trouble, and was exposed, she would be the one to be punished. She felt truly miserable.
"You keep saying that I let the phoenix go, but everyone knows that when a phoenix grows up, it will fly to Penglai. It's its instinct. Did all those years as General Yiyou go to waste? You don't even know this kind of thing?"
Lingxiang has no intention of letting Yinghuan go.
"Or is it that your claim of respecting His Majesty is just talk? After all, everyone knows my level of cultivation. You didn't stop the Phoenix, but instead asked me, a person of low cultivation, to do it. What is your intention?"
Yinghuan broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing whether to argue or not.
This bitch, that’s enough, she still wants to torture me to death. I should have killed her first to save myself so much trouble now.
Just then, a demon soldier shouted that he had something to report, and only then did Yinghuan breathe a sigh of relief.
The demon soldier said, "Three people left the Demon Realm in a hurry, and they were holding Princess Fengyuan's badge." Then he presented the badge.
When Yinghuan heard this, her heart immediately filled with joy. This was truly a timely help!
She had a rough idea of the three people the demon soldier was talking about. Although the demon world didn't have a curfew like the human world, no one could leave the demon realm without permission, and violators would be punished with death.
No matter who these three people are, since they are holding Princess Fengyuan's badge, they are acting under Princess Fengyuan's orders, so all the blame must be borne by Princess Fengyuan.
The surroundings suddenly became much colder, even Lingxiang felt the chill, only Yinghuan was still gloating.
Ha! You little bastard, let’s see if you can survive this!
Demon Lord Boyan had a cold expression on his face, stroking the badge in his hand, but he said nothing. Lingxiang didn't seem to want to explain, standing there calmly, but her heart was beating fast.
No one said the badge would be taken away? This damn Wu Minjun didn't even warn her. Now, someone has something to hold against her.
However, Lingxiang didn't show any expression on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
What a joke! The Demon Lord on the throne hasn't spoken yet. If I speak first, wouldn't I be in the wrong?
As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If you don't say anything, I won't say anything either. Let's see who can outlast the other.
The two masters remained silent, but Yinghuan could not kneel any longer, fearing that the Demon Lord would protect Lingxiang again. However, she did not dare to speak rashly. After considering for a long time, she decided to start with Lingxiang.
"Princess, I've told you many times that you can't send people out of the Demon Realm without permission. Why don't you listen?" Yinghuan said in a tone of earnest advice from an elder.
Although Yinghuan's words seemed helpless, she was actually telling the Demon Lord that Lingxiang had done this more than once or twice.
Lingxiang glanced at Yinghua: "Okay, okay, let's play this trick, right? And can we leave you out?"
"Why wouldn't I listen to what you said?" Lingxiang said with a look of grievance. "I've run out of the ingredients for refining the elixir for you, Your Excellency. It's the one I asked you to go to Mushikawa to collect last time. And you said you wanted to rest, so I had no choice but to let someone else go."
This sentence also has a double meaning. First, it means that Yinghuan had left the Demon Realm without permission. Second, it is a warning to Yinghuan that if she has any tricks again, he will reveal the fact that she has offended him.
Yinghuan gnashed her teeth in hatred and cursed Lingxiang inwardly, but the Demon Lord heard something else.
"Mushikawa? What kind of herbs did you go to Mushikawa to collect?"
Yinghuan shuddered all over and was about to answer, but Lingxiang spoke first.
"It's that Mushikawa Higan," Lingxiang said with a sigh. "Your Majesty asked me to refine the Heaven-Returning Pill, which requires a piece of Mushikawa Higan. But Mushikawa Higan can only be found in Fengdu, a place where humans can't go. I figured since they're all Lycoris radiata, the ones from Mushikawa should be similar, so I asked General Yiyou to go and get some."
Are you kidding! Never mind whether or not the Huitian Pill contains the Beyond the Forgotten River, even if it does, you can't just casually replace the ingredients.
As the saying goes, a slight error can lead to a huge mistake. Even if there is only a difference of one word, the medicinal properties will be very different, and the resulting elixir will also be very different.
Ha! After all, they are just a bunch of laymen, so how can they not be cheating?
When the Huitian Pill was mentioned, Demon Lord Boyan immediately put Lingxiang's matter aside and asked about the progress of the Huitian Pill. Lingxiang smiled secretly when she heard that.
Sure enough, this thing is the most effective.
"Aside from the ingredients being a little off, I've followed my mother's instructions, but somehow, I just can't refine it." Lingxiang sighed heavily as she spoke, "Perhaps I'm just not as good as my mother. After all, I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage."
Bullshit, which of those poisonous powders you concocted could be made by your bitch mother?
Yinghuan cursed viciously in her heart. If her eyes were as sharp as knives, she could skin Lingxiang alive.
When the Demon Lord heard this, he pondered for a while, then acted like a "father" and started lecturing Lingxiang.
"How can we just be almost there? If every time is almost there, are we saving people or harming them? Everything must be done carefully and rigorously, otherwise how can we practice medicine and preach in the future?"
When Lingxiang heard this, she immediately acted as if she was learning.
"Yes, yes, that's why I borrowed General Wolf Head from Lord Wumin and asked him to lead my people to secretly explore Fengdu. I just hope that I can collect the right medicinal ingredients this time."
Ha! You're such a good fellow, Wu Min-kun, dragging me into this mess and wanting to just sit back and watch and walk away unscathed? No way!
If you take advantage of me, you must spit it out skin and bones!
Anyway, you demons are all a bunch of snakes and rats. I’ll kill as many as I can and just do justice for the people!
