"No one is allowed to come here!"
The formation has been solved, the four-sided tree is shattered, Jianwu holds Axi's neck and stands in front of the cocoon, while she squeezes out a few tears in cooperation, looking frightened and pitiful.
"Let her go!" Everyone stopped for a moment, and Xingheng took a step forward, his tone full of anxiety.
"Come here again, and I'll kill her." Jianwu returned to his cynical look, with the folding fan in his hand pressed against Axi's neck with a smirk on his face.
"Let him kill him! He's just a human being, what's the big deal." His Highness sneered, not noticing Xing Heng's increasingly darker face. "You are just a useless person. I will not be threatened by you!"
"Yes, you can kill her. We don't care whether she lives or lives." His Highness put his hands on her hips and agreed, "It's just a trophy anyway. If you want to blame her, it's her own fault for insisting on meddling in her own business and following her. If she dies, she will die."
"Shut up!"
A ray of blue light passed around them, and His Highness the Second and His Highness the Fifth instantly felt a sense of suffocation. They waved their hands randomly and their expressions became distorted.
I felt as if the air around me was gradually being pulled out, and cold water rushed into my nose, making me feel like I was drowning.
He tried to use spiritual power to solve the problem, but found that he was entangled in an invisible chain of water, and was trapped in it, unable to use any spiritual power.
They looked at each other in horror, then struggled to look at the initiator - Xing Heng.
"I don't want to hear another word from you." Xing Heng's eyes were filled with anger, and he tried his best to suppress it, and said word by word: "Otherwise, this will be the consequences."
After finishing speaking, the feeling of suffocation disappeared.
The two highnesses immediately used spiritual power to replenish themselves with air. Their faces turned red and they coughed violently. They looked at their brother who was usually at the bottom in shock and were speechless.
"Let her go!" Xingheng's tone was harsh, and he kept staring at Jianwu. If eyes could kill, Jianwu would have died thousands of times.
He really hid his strength.
This was the first time A Xi saw him show off his real abilities, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"If you leave, I will send her ashore." Jianwu picked up a strand of Axi's hair and twisted it around in his hands to play with, "If you still want to snatch her away, I'm not sure you will accidentally hurt her."
Axi's palms were hot and she was sweating.
She was betting on whether His Highness would save her life, betting that he was not a cold-blooded person who would refuse to save her until death.
Xingheng turned back to look at His Highness, without saying a word, but his fists were clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white, and he even trembled slightly because of too much force.
His Highness's eyes were dark and he couldn't see the hidden emotions clearly.
"good."
After a while, His Highness's voice suddenly sounded.
"You let him go and we go."
His voice was already indifferent, but in such a quiet space, like jade beads falling on a plate, it seemed even colder.
He agreed so readily that Axi was stunned on the spot.
Just leave like that?
twice! This is the second time I have left empty-handed! How could he agree so easily? !
Axi couldn't believe what she heard, but saw His Highness pick up a broken vine from the ground and put it into his sleeve, and repeated again: "Let them go, we will leave immediately."
Jianwu looked at Axi, she didn't expect such a situation and blinked in confusion.
Jianwu thought for a moment, then let her go, pushed her gently, and fell into Xingheng's arms.
"Then I won't give it away."
As he spread out his jade-bone fan, Jianwu gradually stopped smiling, and his eyes fell on His Highness. There was no emotion in his tone and he said: "This young master destroyed my formation. If there is a chance in the future, Your Highness will direct it." Young master, please bring it back."
"Xingchi is waiting for His Highness Teng She to arrive." It seemed that no matter what happened, His Highness could not be disturbed. His tone was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story, as if he wasn't the one who got into trouble.
On the way back, Axi still felt that she couldn't come to her senses.
The Demon King was so sure to win, but his second visit to the Dragon Cave failed again. How could the Demon King be willing to do so? How could His Highness agree?
It's so weird, so weird.
Along the way, everyone was strangely silent. It was not until they approached the palace hall that His Highness stopped walking.
"Second brother and fifth brother, please go and reunite with your father first." He lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them. The two highnesses nodded and took the order to go ahead. The eldest highness then looked at the third princess beside him and said, "Third sister. This trip has been hard. If my father gets angry later, you can tell me that it was because I fell into a coma and you were afraid that something might happen to me and didn't dare to stay long, so you turned back early. He won't blame you."
After saying that, he handed over half of the vine in his arms.
"It's not like I gained nothing."
The third princess didn't say much, nodded and followed.
"Sixth brother." His Highness then turned his eyes to Xing Heng, and after a moment, he looked at A Xi and said: "Princess Yi'an must have been frightened today. There are some herbs in my palace that can calm the mind. Please bring the princess with you." I'll go back to the palace to get it together."
Just call me?
Before A Xi could speak, Xing Heng spoke first and said, "I can do it for you. Let Yi An go back and rest first."
His Highness said nothing and did not move even a single step.
Axi was a little embarrassed.
When he was captured, they were very close, so His Highness must have noticed something.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Xing Heng's eyes darkened, but there was no emotion on his face.
Xingheng has already exposed his hidden clumsiness underwater, which is inherently inappropriate. What's more, he is now in front of the palace. If he shows his ability in public, all the years of humiliating himself and pretending to be a pig will be in vain.
Seeing what His Highness means, I'm afraid it would be hard to do well if you don't agree.
Anyway, I just happened to take this opportunity to explore the reality of this person.
"Yi'an is willing to go with His Highness." Axi tugged at Xingheng's sleeves and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, His Highness is your brother, and he is also my brother. Naturally, he will not harm me. . You go back and make a pot of hot tea first. I put the osmanthus in the third drawer of the cabinet on the left. When the tea is ready, I will go back."
Xingheng's eyes were dim and unclear, and he raised his hand to hold her.
The hand paused in the air for a moment, then slowly lowered it.
Finally, he bowed his head and acquiesced.
His Majesty's palace is decorated very differently from elsewhere.
The outer walls of the palace were covered with thorns and vines, like a green coat. The inner wall is light yellow, with some colored transparent crystal stones inlaid in the wall.
This was the first time Axi had seen a palace of this style. It seemed a bit out of place in this snow-white northern border.
"Like tea?" His Highness's abrupt words brought Axi back from his thoughts. I think I asked this because I heard that I just asked Xingheng to go back and make tea. It was just a random excuse to let him go back and wait in peace.
"Try the tea I have here." His Highness didn't seem to want to listen to her answer, and he didn't really care whether she liked it or not. He poured the tea and handed it to her without even giving her a look.
So bitter.
I tasted it and almost spit it out.
She didn't dare to vomit, so she forced herself to swallow.
Um? Is there any hope?
Axi blinked and took another small sip.
The taste is slightly astringent and slightly bitter. But after swallowing, there was a slightly sweet taste that spread down the throat to the entire mouth, and there was also a light fruity aroma.
"What kind of tea is this?" Axi suddenly became interested and was no longer as nervous as before.
"This is tea made from the leaves I grew. I haven't named it yet." His Highness poured himself a cup slowly. "If Princess Yi'an likes it, you can take some away with the herbs later." , and ordered the demon servant to go down and prepare.
There were only two of them left in the hall.
"His Highness won't just invite me over to drink tea and get medicine." He didn't let Xing Heng accompany him and sent his servants away on purpose. He would never let me leave so easily.
Only then did he raise his eyes to look at her. Those eyes were like a dark cold pool, bottomless and making people shudder.
"People from the Soaring Snake Tribe." He spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse, "You know them."
Not a question.
"How is this possible?" Yi An's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly denied it, "Yi An is an ordinary person who has never even been out of the palace. How could he know such a person? His Highness looks down upon me."
She thought she spoke sincerely, but His Highness didn't seem to pay attention to her words. He covered his face and coughed twice, saying, "What is that thing in the cocoon?"
"How could Yi'an know?" Axi felt as if cold sweat was running down his forehead.
His Highness placed the pastry in front of her and motioned for her to have a taste.
"Is it a dragon egg?"
His words were so shocking that the pastry in Axi's mouth almost spurted out. Only then did I realize that the small piece of fabric I had been holding silently at the corner of my clothes was already full of wrinkles.
"Yi'an doesn't know."
Seeing that she was choking and coughing, he handed over the tea again, like a big brother caring for his little sister, patting her back unhurriedly, as if asking her with his eyes whether she was okay.
"So, the Dragon Pill is on Soaring Snake?"
Choking on her tea because of his words again, Axi didn't dare to eat or drink anything, and brushed the broken hair around her ears to hide her inner uneasiness.
"Yi'an...I don't know."
"Could it be that it's here with you?"
His Highness did not take her answer to heart at all, and spoke like a question to himself, but Axi was frightened when he heard it.
Who is he...?
How could...how could one know so much...
For the first time, Axi suddenly felt embarrassed and panicked about having someone see through her little tricks behind her back. She hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say a word.
She really didn't know how to deal with it, she was inexperienced.
"Princess Yi'an. You have many secrets."
He rarely spoke so much. He lowered his voice and coughed with some discomfort. He turned around and took out a chessboard and placed it in front of her.
"I also have many secrets. In this way, are we considered destined?"
His Highness pushed the white chess piece in front of her, holding the black piece first.
This...what exactly is this situation.
Axi held the white piece in his hand and couldn't figure out what he meant, so he didn't dare to make a move.
"You and I play three games." He seemed to have read through Axi's thoughts, with a faint smile on his lips, "Loser, tell the winner a secret. No matter who wins or loses, you and I will keep the other side secret. how?"
He could guess that Jianwu was guarding the last bloodline of the dragon clan, not what he was looking for, so he did not take part in the battle.
He could guess that the Dragon Pill was in his body, so he decisively accepted Jianwu's coercion, and naturally saved him and left.
When he came back to life, he took the blame for his failure on himself, so that she would not be implicated, so he had the opportunity to call her here alone, without letting a third person have the opportunity to learn this information.
Xingchi is indeed a complicated and unpredictable character.
If you refuse, there will be no better opportunity than this to explore His Highness’s secrets.
But if you lose...
Ah Xi's heart changed and he promised: "Then please ask the Highness to make a move."
