"Oh~ It's no wonder that this young master really doesn't take the ordinary path."
"Speaking of which, young master, if I practice seriously for a few years, I might actually become a spirit-gathering monk."
"It's my fault for being lazy."
Yan Wude shook his head and said.
"Young Master, why do you need to practice seriously? How many more years will you continue to practice?"
"With your background, young master, you are only slightly interested in cultivating immortals. If you just casually move some elixir resources, you can achieve gathering of spirits in a matter of minutes."
Niutou said.
"Eh? Is it true or false?"
Yan Wude asked back.
"How dare I deceive the young master? Young master, think about it, can the medicinal materials and elixirs that can be put into your family's medicine store be of ordinary quality?"
Niutou said.
"Holy crap! Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this, why would I have stolen a yarn arsenal? Why not go to the apothecary and get some elixirs!"
After hearing this, Yan Wude immediately wanted to scold his mother. If he had known this, there would be no need to cause such a big disaster.
For example, as the third prince of the King of Hell, wouldn't it be a big deal to go to the medicine store and get a few medicinal plants?
It's just that when Zhao Xiaoyue, Xiaolian, and Toad Jing heard these words, they were all confused on the spot.
Can you become a spirit-gathering monk by just eating a few medicinal herbs? What kind of medicinal materials are they?
What is the background of Yan Wude? The Pyramid family in the world of immortality, right?
"By the way, young master, how are we going to deal with this toad spirit?" Niutou cleverly changed the subject.
"Kill him."
Yan Wude said.
"Wait a minute, let me do it, let me do a little experiment."
Yan Wude thought of something, and then quickly stopped him.
"Experiment? Huh? Has the young master done any scientific research recently? Master, when did you have a hobby?"
Niu Toujin looked confused, and so did Xiao Ma Ge.
But Yan Wude didn't answer Niu Tou's question.
The experiment Yan Wude mentioned is naturally related to "The Soul-Eating Hand".
All things have spirits, and spirits are not limited to magic weapons, elixirs, and spiritual objects.
Based on this theory, spirits naturally exist in living beings.
So if the spirit of a living body is sucked away, what will eventually happen to that living body?
This is what Yan Wude wants to know. For example, the toad spirit is an excellent experimental subject at the moment.
Without thinking too much, Yan Wude put his palm on the toad spirit's head.
When the "Soul-Eating Hand" came into effect, the toad spirit showed a horrifying look in his eyes for a sudden moment, as if he had encountered some kind of unexplainable horror.
"Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!!!"
The toad spirit was struggling desperately, rolling his eyes, and all the muscles in his body were twitching.
However, his body was immobilized by the Dingguang Gourd, and he could not escape Yan Wude's claws no matter what.
In less than three breaths, you can see that the toad spirit's flesh and blood begin to dry up quickly, and its eye sockets are sunken and hollow.
Even the skin all over its body was fading rapidly, becoming petrified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the end, the shriveled and petrified toad spirit began to be annihilated bit by bit, scattered in the wind and turned into debris.
"Sure enough, this "Soul-Eating Hand" also has an effect on living creatures, but the spirits of living creatures are pitiful."
"But judging from the current situation, the "Soul-Eating Hand" can be regarded as a great killing move when used on living creatures."
The process of the toad spirit from drying up, petrifying to being annihilated made Yan Wude extremely satisfied.
This method is equivalent to Medusa's Eye, but this method requires contact with the opponent.
However, the bull's head and horse's face are extremely scary to look at. What kind of evil magic is this?
A good toad spirit, let the young master touch it, and then be annihilated?
This special girl is too scary!
"Young Master, when did you practice the evil arts?"
"How come we don't know anything about it? You've hidden it too deeply."
Brother Xiao Ma couldn't help but said.
"Can you speak? I am a magician! My young master's inscrutable ways are beyond the reach of you two."
Yan Wude glanced at Brother Ma, and then raised his head again, showing his incomparable arrogance.
"I understand. No wonder the sapphire that the young master broke when he touched me before, and the magic weapon of the toad spirit. It's the young master who is practicing evil, right?"
Niutou said with a sudden realization.
At the same time, Niutou is also secretly warning himself that his magic weapon will no longer be in the hands of the young master.
Moreover, I, Lao Niu, cannot let the young master's hands touch him, otherwise the toad spirit will suffer the same fate.
"Niu Laohei, it seems you are still suspecting that your sapphire was damaged by me, the young master?"
"It seems that you are determined to have a hard time with the beef hot pot! Brother Xiao Ma, heat up the pot and heat up the oil."
Yan Wude glanced at Niutou and immediately spoke seriously.
"Okay~"
Brother Ma was very happy.
Just because of this bull's head, his little brother Ma had to secretly eat beef every time.
I always want to stew this beef head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I wrongly blamed you. It's all my fault, my blindness."
At this time, Xiaolian said in a timid voice. Compared to before, Xiaolian looked more serious at this moment.
He had a look of fear on his face and did not dare to look directly at Yan Wude.
"I thought you were just a little maid, but I didn't expect you to be a little princess."
"No wonder he talks so arrogantly that even a sissy can't stop him."
"You don't have to apologize to me. I'm not trying to save you. I'm just trying to predict your fate."
Yan Wude didn't appreciate it very much. In Yan Wude's eyes, there was nothing lovable about this little maid.
The only definition for this little maid is: a dumb girl with no eyesight.
"Princess?"
But Yan Wude's words in front of him made Xiaolian stunned for a moment.
Am I just a little maid? When did she turn into a princess?
However, Zhao Xiaoyue on the side immediately realized that Yan Wude's remarks were naturally based on Toad Spirit's previous words.
The toad spirit said: It came to kill Princess Zhao on the order of the second prince.
But as a princess, Zhao Xiaoyue is dressed as a man.
Therefore, it is natural that Yan Wude mistakenly believed that Xiaolian was Princess Zhao.
This is a perfect misunderstanding.
"If my guess is correct, this sissy is the slave, right?"
"You can pretend to be a little maid to hide your identity. You have some brains."
Yan Wude thought he had guessed it perfectly.
"ah?"
Xiaolian was panicked now. She was really just a little maid.
He said that the young lady was his slave and he was the princess. How could she, a little maid, dare to admit such rebellious remarks?
"Ahem, Brother Yan is really thoughtful. You guessed it right."
"Xiaolian is not my maid, on the contrary, she is my master, and her identity is the princess of my Zhao country."
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoyue, who reacted very quickly, admitted the matter immediately.
After all, Zhao Xiaoyue was still wary of Yan Wude and did not want to expose her identity.
In short, we are still Mr. Zhao, not Miss Zhao.
"However, when I think about it carefully, judging from your temperament, I feel that you are Princess Zhao."
Yan Wude thought for a while and said again.
"Huh? How is that possible? Brother Yan, I am a boy, okay?"
Zhao Xiaoyue smiled awkwardly, and then she quickly grabbed Xiaolian's luggage.
This means that Xiaolian is Princess Zhao, and Xiaolian is indeed my master.
This made Xiao Lian even more frightened. Will I become a princess now? Where did I get the courage?
When Miss Naihe took the luggage, she gave her a serious and solemn look, so Xiaolian had no choice but to admit it.
"That's true. The main reason is that you are so effeminate that I always thought you were a girl."
"Looking carefully, your facial features are quite delicate. Maybe you will look good in women's clothes."
Yan Wude said.
"Brother Yan, don't make fun of me, I'm an upright boy."
Zhao Xiaoyue patted her chest and said that she was very lucky at this moment that she had small breasts, otherwise her identity as a woman disguised as a man would have been exposed.
"Brother Yan, I have decided that I will learn from you and be an upright man!"
Then Zhao Xiaoyue said that she just wanted Yan Wude to believe that he was a boy.
But at this moment, the little maid on the side actually wanted to say: Miss, you have no strength, you will never be able to stand upright.
"If you stand upright, don't try to imitate me. When it comes to picking up girls, I can teach you two tricks."
Yan Wude said.
"Ah? No, no, no, no, I just want to be a man."
Zhao Xiaoyue even said that she had no use in picking up girls. When it came to learning how to fish for a good guy, she could still hesitate.
"By the way, what happened to that toad spirit? Why would the second prince send a toad spirit to hunt down your princess?"
Yan Wude mentioned this out of sheer boredom and asked a few questions casually.
However, Zhao Xiaoyue did not hide Yan Wude, but pretended to glance at Xiaolian.
After receiving the signal from Xiaolian's eyes, Zhao Xiaoyue spoke about this matter as a courtier:
"Our country, Zhao, has always been invaded by barbarians. In addition, a group of mysterious wizards appeared among the barbarians two years ago, which actually gave birth to a large number of powerful barbarians, causing our country, Zhao, to suddenly fall into a huge crisis."
"Our princess went to Fuyao Star Palace this time just to learn the magic and come back to save our Zhao country from the crisis."
Zhao Xiaoyue said this out of some selfish motives.
For example, in the future, maybe we can borrow the power behind Yan Wude.
"After all that, it seems that this has nothing to do with the toad spirit incident."
Yan Wude said.
"Oooh, that's exactly what I'm going to say."
"Our Kingdom of Zhao originally had twelve princes, but due to the dispute over the crown prince, only the second prince and the sixth prince are left alive. This shows how fierce the struggle has been."
"It is also for this reason that His Majesty intends to pass on the title of Crown Prince to the Princess, setting a precedent for a Queen."
"Such a decision is naturally related to the barbarian invasions in recent years. Our Zhao country is now facing the danger of annihilation."
"However, the struggle between the two princes did not calm down at all. Instead, it became increasingly fierce, and finally angered His Majesty."
Zhao Xiaoyue said angrily, fully expressing her patriotism.
It's just that Yan Wude didn't believe these words. It's not that he didn't believe in Zhao Xiaoyue, it was just that he didn't believe in the old emperor's decision.
No matter what the situation was, it was absolutely impossible for the old emperor to pass the throne to the princess.
This is due to the deep-rooted thought and culture for thousands of years.
The biggest reason why the old emperor did this is probably:
He wanted to divert the conflict between the two princes, slow down the internal friction of the country, and strive to take a breather when the country was in danger of annihilation.
For example, the second prince sent a toad spirit to hunt down Princess Zhao, which is the best proof.
To put it bluntly:
Princess Zhao is the third force that buffers the conflict between the two princes, and this force is destined to perish.
Because it is absolutely impossible for the old emperor to really pass the throne to the princess of Zhao.
Even if the Zhao Kingdom did eventually perish, the two surviving princes would still be two seeds of restoration.
And what about Princess Zhao? So what if we survive? In the eyes of the old emperor, after all, he is a female figure!
Of course, these are just Yan Wude's personal speculations and may not be the truth.
Naturally, I won't tell Xiaolian this. Is it none of my business, Yan Wude?
She's just a princess of the Zhao Kingdom. If she dies, will she die?
She's a blind girl anyway.
