Chapter 443: Linglong made a sound and the pill came out
"Report!" A guard rushed into the hall. Before he could kneel down, he spoke hastily, "A group of Taoist priests are outside the hall, challenging us. They're saying..."
The next words seemed very indecent, and the guard was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to say it or not.
But how could Yinghua stand it? She hated it most when people said she would keep half and half.
"Useless thing! What did you say?"
"Tell... tell..." The guard hesitated, then suddenly made up his mind: "The Demon Lord is hiding in the palace. I'm afraid he's a coward. If you have the guts, go out and give him a good fight..."
The guard finished his words very quickly, as if he was in a hurry to be reincarnated, for fear that if he spoke too slowly, the good family would be robbed.
"What?!"
Yinghua was furious and stepped forward, raising her hand to hit the guard. The guard closed his eyes and hurriedly explained:
"General, please spare my life. It wasn't me who said that. It was those Taoist priests outside!"
"Get out!"
Yinghuan kicked the guard angrily, and the guard crawled out of the palace.
"Yo~"
Just as she was about to turn around and report back, a long string of notes sounded at an extremely inopportune moment. The tune was so long it was almost two miles away that Yinghua couldn't help but roll her eyes.
It's that damned tone again, I know who it is without having to think.
"Ah! How come there's a Taoist priest in the palace? And he's even making it to the palace gate," Lingxiang said, sighing and imitating the opera master, pretending to be at a loss: "Oh my, what should I do?"
Shut your mouth!
Yinghuan glanced at the pretentious Lingxiang and bowed to the Demon Lord.
"Your Majesty, those bird-like Taoists are so arrogant that they have come to bully us. Given this situation, there is no reason to sit idly by. I beg your Majesty to capture them and avenge the Demon Lord."
A sneer came again at an inopportune moment, and the tone was as if someone had just heard a huge joke.
"What are you laughing at?" Yinghuan was so angry that she didn't care about etiquette.
Besides, Yinghuan had never revered Lingxiang as a superior. She despised Lingxiang from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course I'm laughing at you for talking so irrationally."
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing."
"What do you mean by nothing?"
"It's literally what it means."
Yinghuan frowned, took a step forward, but then realized something was wrong and quickly stepped back.
Damn girl! Are you still quibbling with me?
Lingxiang sneered again, "What do you mean? It's so simple, yet the general doesn't understand? Has the general never been to school?" Then she said with an understanding look, "No wonder. After all, the general is not human, so it's normal for him not to understand human language."
hiss!
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what he said, but why does it sound so unpleasant?
"Then please teach me, Princess." Yinghuan reluctantly clasped her fists and bowed.
I want to see what kind of teeth can come out of your dog's mouth.
Lingxiang sighed, as if reluctantly:
"We humans value reciprocity the most."
"The demons have been guests to Yuanqing three times, so Yuanqing naturally cannot lose his courtesy. Otherwise, if the news gets out, how will this great sect survive in the Dao world in the future?"
"Besides, life can only last long if there is give and take, right?"
What a mess! Bullshit!
A mere mortal, is he worthy of being compared to the demons? How ridiculous!
The bitch's son is indeed a bitch, full of fallacies and heresies, spreading rumors and gossip!
Yinghuan glanced at Lingxiang with disgust. She was too lazy to even argue with Lingxiang and asked the Demon Lord for help again.
But Lingxiang seemed to have heard a huge joke. She laughed so hard that she fell over, in an exaggerated and artificial manner, without paying any attention to the Demon Lord who was present.
"General, I'm afraid you've said this more than once or twice, right? But every time you tried to kill me, you were ultimately defeated by me. Not to mention that Wuyang even beat you to the point of revealing your true form. What kind of 'I will definitely fulfill my mission' is this nonsense?"
When Yinghuan heard this, she immediately panicked, and the Demon Lord also frowned.
The Demon Lord looked very displeased. He valued Lingxiang very much. After all, he still needed her to refine "Huitian". How could he possibly take her life?
But Yinghuan pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed, and now that the plan has failed, she is naturally panicked.
After the Demon Lord took over Ling Xiao's body, he became moody. Yinghuan knew his temper very well.
Damn girl, this is going to kill her!
Lingxiang watched everything leisurely, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
When Yinghuan took a wrong glance, she saw the smug Lingxiang and almost couldn't suppress the urge to kill.
Just as the Demon Lord was examining the prone Yinghua, the Great Situ who was watching coldly from the sidelines suddenly spoke.
"The attempt to murder the princess is a heinous crime and should be punished with the death penalty to uphold the dignity of the royal family."
Hearing this, Yinghuan was even more furious.
This old bastard actually adds insult to injury!
But Lingxiang heard a different meaning in these words.
Murder is murder, what does "intent" mean? For a heinous crime, why is "actual" even necessary? Should the punishment be meted out, isn't "due" redundant? If dignity must be upheld, why bother with "only then"?
This old man is quite good at talking. If I'm not mistaken, the latter part is his real intention.
"But the current situation is worrying. With a powerful enemy at our doorstep, there are only a few people available. If we convict him now, we will be cutting off our own wings."
Lingxiang remained silent and waited for what was to come.
"In my humble opinion, it would be better to record this matter first. When General Yiyou quells the rebellion of the Dao Sect, our merits and demerits will be offset."
Sure enough, it’s a good move to first suppress and then praise. I admire it. It turns out that the older you are, the shrewder you become.
Yinghuan kowtowed repeatedly, repeating words of forgiveness.
I used to be mad at Da Situ, but after hearing these words, I felt that he was not so hateful anymore.
Old radishes are not necessarily all bad.
"Although this method may be a little unfair to the princess, I believe that the princess will consider the overall situation and be understanding."
Lingxiang smiled without saying anything, glanced at the thoughtful Demon Lord, and suddenly understood.
I originally wanted to kill Yinghuan today to remove some burdens from the Taoist sect, but now the Grand Tutor suddenly appeared.
It seems that this evil, Yinghuan, cannot be killed today.
Forget it, forget it. If you sow the seeds, you will reap the fruits in the future.
Besides, it is still unknown whether this group of demons will have a future!
Well, I'll just sell it well for now, so I can live a more comfortable life the rest of my life.
"Oh my! I just said it casually, why are you accusing me of a crime? What's the big picture? It was just a joke, why take it so seriously? It's really scary."
Lingxiang said this as she stirred the charcoal fire in the alchemy furnace - it looked like the elixir was about to come out.
"That's all in the past. General Yiyou served me well during the past two years as a slave. I'm very satisfied. How can I blame you?"
He raised an eyebrow and looked at Da Situ.
"And now that I've said that, I can't refuse Da Si Tu's preference. I'm doing you a favor, so you can't deny it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Situ didn't say anything, but Yinghuan's eyes widened.
What does "Grand Situ's preference" mean? How could she possibly be involved with this old bastard?
Damn girl! You actually slandered me!
Just as Yinghuan was about to lose her temper, she heard a dull sound coming from the alchemy furnace. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her, and the Demon Lord's gaze was even more blazing.
This is……
The pill is out!
