"Yi'an thought that His Highness's hand would be sharp."
His Highness was noncommittal and continued without a moment's hesitation.
"But His Highness chose to block it."
His Highness still made a clear decision without any hesitation.
"I would rather take a stab than let the opponent live in peace." His chess style is much sharper than expected, and he is decisive in killing. This was just a test game. Axi placed two chess pieces on the chessboard, "In this game, Yi'an has admitted defeat."
"Promise." His Highness smiled back, cleared the chessboard and returned the chess pieces to their places, "Then please ask Princess Yi'an to fulfill her promise."
Axi pursed her lips and her eyes rolled around like two bright black grapes. She tilted her head and had an idea: "I am not an ordinary mortal, not a cultivator of immortals, nor a demon."
Hearing this, His Highness actually laughed.
Axi also laughed in agreement. Also, he guessed that there was a dragon pill hidden in his body, and the person who could obtain the dragon pill must not be an ordinary person. There is no demonic aura about her, nor does she have the aura of a cultivator, so her identity is definitely not what she appears to be.
Although he had already made a guess, he didn't say that he couldn't reveal the secret he had guessed.
It's a little clever.
In the second game, Axi still gave up in the middle of the game.
"The Dragon Pill is indeed in my body."
He guessed it anyway, so there was no harm in admitting it.
Since he didn't object to the first secret, would he mind if the same method was used again?
Where is the bottom line of his tolerance?
His Highness once again cleared the chess pieces on the chessboard, lifeless, with a faint smile on his face.
Even when this man smiles, he still makes people feel cold. Not like Xingheng, like the warm spring breeze.
"The last game." Seeing that he was not surprised at all, Axi said straight to the point: "Have you decided what secrets you want to tell me, Your Highness?"
"Oh?" His Highness raised his eyes, "Is Princess Yi'an so confident?"
"Of course." The first two games were just to test his chess style, and the last game was aimed at his secret.
Black Zi was spreading things around aimlessly and without any plan, leaving Bai Zi defenseless and had to concentrate on arranging his own killing move.
"Your Highness, please don't say useless things to get rid of me." Axi smiled slyly, "Your Highness cannot tell you the secrets I know again."
"What do you know?" His Highness was not annoyed and looked at her with burning eyes.
"For example, although I don't know why His Highness is full of the aura of a wolf demon and can hardly detect anything strange, your true body is definitely not a wolf demon. Your Highness can guess so many unknown details and recognize it. Teng She, knowing the dragon egg, must not be an ordinary monster." During the first two games of the game, Axi secretly used magic to detect it, and found that his monster spirit was indeed that of a wolf monster, but his true body was actually shrouded in a white mist. , completely invisible, "Yi An is very interested in His Highness's true identity."
"Princess Yi'an finally stopped trying in a roundabout way?" Seeing her becoming serious, His Highness looked in a good mood, "What else do you know?"
The black ones gathered together and gradually began to surround and kill the white ones. The dilemma was already apparent.
"For another example, although His Highness's illness has lingered on his bed for many years, it is not completely incurable."
If you want to test him in a subtle way, you must start from what he is interested in. I think what a chronically ill person cares about most is a cure, so stimulating him should be effective.
"Oh?" His Highness's eyes suddenly lit up, "I would like to hear the details."
As expected, judging from his reaction, it seems that he does not know the cure and has never given up on finding a cure.
That is to have a bargaining chip.
"Then your Highness will exchange secrets of equal value." Axi curled her lips, and with the last move, the victory or defeat was decided.
Snapped. Snapped. Snapped.
His Highness smiled and clapped, and Axi responded: "I accept the concession."
"So, what is His Highness's secret?" Axi fiddled with the chess pieces with a smile in his eyes.
"Dragon Pill, it's not the Demon King who wants it." He paused for a few seconds and looked at her with a half-smile, "It's me who wants it."
He wants to become a demon god?
"Three games have passed." His Highness's fingertips rested on the chess pieces between Axi's fingers, forcing her to stop playing with the chess pieces. "What should I use to exchange with the princess for a way to cure me?"
There seemed to be a thin layer of ice in his dark eyes, which could not be melted or broken through.
Axi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her, and the place where her fingers touched quickly retracted into her sleeves as if she was burned.
"Excuse Yi'an for being presumptuous." Axi put the chess pieces back in place, "I wonder if I can inject spiritual power into His Highness's body so that we can accurately detect the origin of this disease."
Since this disease has been bothering him for so many years, it must be very deep and difficult to eradicate, and requires a serious examination.
"good."
He agreed readily, but Axi was a little unsure, and said with a little doubt: "Your Highness, are you not afraid that I will do anything?"
If you let other people's spiritual power wander around your body, if you damage a few inches of his meridians while he is not prepared, you may not even have time to defend yourself.
"When we were in the Dragon Cave, you showed up to prevent me from destroying the formation." His Highness placed his palm up in front of her, "You could have directly attacked me to achieve your goal, but you chose to use yourself As a blackmail."
That's because I don't know how to attack spells... I can't interrupt your spell casting, so I chose the last resort of exposing myself.
"You won't do it. Am I right?"
Well... I really wouldn't do anything to take advantage of others, and I never wanted to take your life.
Axi sighed.
Okay, since you have the other party's trust, let's carefully investigate the reason.
She put her hand on his palm and slowly closed her eyes. The two hands interacting with each other suddenly bloomed with a faint brilliance.
Why does it feel weird?
This disease doesn’t look like a disease or poison, but rather like...
It was as if an unknown aura was entangled in his lifeline, like a ribbon that was strangling him tightly, unable to be untied and kept being cut.
This smell is so familiar...
It's like... it's like...
It's like the demonic energy lingering on the dragon egg!
It's just that this breath is weaker than the one left on the dragon egg, and it has already blended with His Highness's own spiritual power. It is almost impossible to detect it by other methods without using divine power to detect it.
If the devilish energy of the dragon egg is not removed and it breaks out of the shell and hatches, it will probably be even worse than the situation that His Highness is in now.
But why has His Highness been haunted by demonic energy for so many years? How did he have access to demonic energy?
"Your Highness, do you know where your disease comes from?" A Xi was not sure whether he knew about the demonic energy, so he carefully considered his words.
"Of course I know." His Highness nodded slightly, "I just don't know how to solve it."
he knows?
"You know you..." Axi swallowed the word "demon energy" halfway through her words. She was not sure whether the other party really knew that it was caused by demonic energy.
"I know." Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, His Highness's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little bit excited. He nodded to her again and affirmed: "Demon energy. I Know."
"Why are you infected with demonic energy?" Axi was surprised. His body must have been infected for many years. "The demon clan died together with the dragon clan in the war thousands of years ago. How could you!"
This Wolf Demon King is only over 800 years old. As the son of the Demon King, how could His Highness be infected with the demonic energy from a thousand years ago!
No, wait, that's not right.
The true identity of His Highness has not yet been concluded, just in case...
What if he is really not a wolf demon?
I have never heard of the Demon King marrying a woman from other races before. Apart from the tacit secret that Xingheng’s mother is a mermaid, are there other unknown concubines?
It's even possible... that he...
Seeing that he didn't answer, Axi asked again: "Why do you want Dragon Pill?"
"Being a demon god, with just demonic energy, isn't it a piece of cake?" He was honest, and seemed to be more interested in her, "As for how I got infected with the demonic energy, Princess Yi'an, please forgive me for not being able to answer. "
"Why can't I find out your true identity?" He didn't want to answer, but since the questions he was willing to answer were all truthful, he might as well ask a few more questions, "It's like there is a seal on you, sealing you His true body was shrouded in a white mist, and I couldn’t see clearly at all.”
This is the strangest place.
Although Ah Xi knows that he is a useless god, he is a true god after all! How come you can't even see through the true form of a mere demon clan.
"I do have a seal on my body. It's because I can't let others know my true identity now." He retracted his hand and looked straight into Axi's eyes, "It's like, I can't see through your identity now. And you don’t want others to know, do you?”
One word, but A Xi was stopped.
He was right. He had gone through the experience of reincarnation on purpose to avoid any possibility of his identity being revealed.
"Does the Demon King know about this?" Thinking of the Demon King's usual concern for His Highness, he must know something about this.
"Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know."
What?
She originally suspected that His Highness might not be the son of the Demon King, but from this point of view, it was really possible.
But how could the Demon King allow someone of unknown origin to occupy the position of the eldest prince and still care for him so much?
Ah Xi couldn't count how many times he was shocked by His Highness throughout the day. His mind was in a whirlwind. He hurriedly picked up the tea cup in front of him and was about to drink it, but found that the tea was already cold.
His Highness burst out laughing when he saw this, took the tea cup from her hand, walked to the tea stove, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.
"So, does the princess know the cure?"
This demonic energy was so deeply ingrained in him that it almost became one with him. To get rid of it, even with divine power, is extremely difficult.
But it's not completely impossible.
"You have been infected for too long, and the demonic energy has merged with your spiritual power. For now, we can only find a way to purify the demonic energy and make it completely your power. Otherwise, there is no way to completely eliminate it." Axi thought deeply. After some discussion, she came to her conclusion.
"So I'm not looking for the Dragon Pill?" His Highness coughed a few times and looked at her with a smile, "Then Princess Yi'an is willing to give up the Dragon Pill?"
Of course not. I gave it to you, what to do with the dragon egg?
Axi shook his head, poured him a cup of tea himself and said, "I know other ways, which are not heresy, will not suffer backlash, and are less risky than cultivating a demon god."
The book says that you cannot make a loss-making business.
"So, Your Highness." Axi met his gaze, "Have you decided what to exchange with me?"
