Who knows, he might be acting, pretending to be a human being, so as to gain the trust of Emperor Wu and eliminate this variable!
Is this the backup plan that His Highness had planned long ago?
Your Highness is wise!
The three-headed demon quickly caught up, his eyes filled with worship and admiration for his own highness.
"Oh no, the demon is catching up with us!" The little fox Su Bi screamed, her face pale, looking at the rapidly approaching three-headed demon with some panic.
She only knew about the demons suppressed under the sea from legends, and had never seen one, but stories about demon invasions were often similar to those of the Big Bad Wolf.
The elders in the tribe always said things like "If you don't listen, the demons will possess you." Over time, I couldn't help but feel a subconscious fear in my heart.
Although the little fox was very brave in fighting those strange beasts just now, he was still afraid of becoming ugly after being possessed.
If it splits into three heads, the big bad guy will definitely not like her.
Su Zhuang comforted her: "Don't be afraid, sister. It won't turn you into something ugly with three heads..."
She blinked. "Probably."
"Woo..." Upon hearing this, Su Bi was so anxious that she almost cried, "Hammer, fly!"
"Ah." Hammer Hammer accelerated as expected.
Zhizhi, who had been quiet all the time, was also on the dragon's back and no longer hid her figure. She looked at Su Bi's fluffy fox tail curiously, and remembered the furry touch of Chui Chui's tail, so she reached out and pinched it.
"Woooaaaaa! Demon, don't come over here! Don't eat me!"
Su Bi probably thought that the devil was biting her tail, and all the hair on her body stood up and she screamed and cried.
Su Zhuang hurriedly coaxed her and told Zhizhi not to **, but at the same time she was aware of Zhizhi's identity and looked thoughtful.
Zhizhi giggled, looking innocent.
Speaking of which, Zhizhi has been following him. She didn't say much along the way. She was well-behaved and quiet. Perhaps she was used to the life as a spirit of mountains and seas. However, every time Liu Yuan gave an order, she would complete it meticulously without any compromise.
But judging from how she had been able to peek at her mother and Liu Yuan doing that thing without leaving any trace, this little girl was obviously not a quiet person. She probably found Su Bi's reaction very interesting, so she pinched her tail again, then innocently picked it up and bit it.
"Wow! Help!"
For a moment, the little fox, who was traveling far away for the first time, was not afraid of the previous fierce and tense battle, but was frightened by Zhizhi biting his tail and burst into tears. He trembled like a sieve and hid in his sister Su Zhuang's arms.
Why are you so scared...
Liu Yuan vaguely saw the little fox with its tail between its legs. There was some dark color on the fabric of the bloomers under his short coat. He suspected that the little fox... No, this was not decent.
We were clearly running for our lives, but these little girls managed to create a happy atmosphere like an outing.
Liu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Only Hong Fu stared at Emperor Wu blankly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Marriage is a big deal, it all depends on your own opinion. I am not an old antique, and the world of immortal cultivation does not have as many rules as mortals."
Emperor Wu, who was borrowing a shell nearby, suddenly spoke.
Very... inappropriate.
It was a bit like meeting the parents at the dinner table, and the father-in-law spoke in a friendly manner and expressed his agreement to the marriage.
But now we are on the run between life and death! Can you all be more serious?
Liu Yuan, who was "flirting" just now, did not realize that he had no right to say that.
Liu Yuan was thinking about how to restore the atmosphere to a serious one. After Emperor Wu finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at He Qingmeng: "But there is one thing that I find strange——"
"I have no offspring, so where did the descendants of Emperor Wu come from?"
Chapter 210: The Right Age for Bedwetting
"Tang Yuanhua"'s voice was flat and it felt like he was just chatting about everyday life.
But there was a hint of scrutiny and coldness in his eyes when he looked at He Qingmeng.
The woman shrank timidly into Liu Yuan's arms and whispered weakly, "I don't know either... It was those people who seemed to be called Biluo Mansion who said that. They tied me up and I didn't know what they wanted to do. I was brought here without knowing what was going on. They died later, and I almost died too. Fortunately, Master Jun Xuan saved me."
She looked up at Liu Yuan, never forgetting to show a tender look at all times.
If Zhiying had a lemon in his hand, it would have been crushed by now.
Unexpectedly, even in the lowest level of the white jade palace, such a small garden full of romanticism and showing off one's affections did not leave even a single seed behind by Emperor Wu and his Yanshi wife before their death.
But it’s not really that strange. After all, the body of the Martial Emperor is of a sanctified level. It probably has “reproductive isolation” from ordinary mortals and even cultivators, right?
Liu Yuan was not exaggerating. As immortal cultivators were constantly refining their essence into qi, they would also optimize their body structure bit by bit. It was simply impossible for high-level immortal cultivators to have children with mortals, because from a biological point of view, the two might not even be the same species.
Ever since the immortal cultivators began to eat wind and drink dew, and to build their foundations and practice a fast, an insurmountable gap has been created between them and mortals.
And now, the childless Emperor Wu suddenly has descendants. It has to be said that it is indeed... bizarre.
The residual soul of Emperor Wu himself is here, so what he said must be true, and his suspicion about He Qingmeng's identity is also true. But as He Qingmeng said, she was captured by the people of Biluo Mansion, not by herself.
Or maybe the people in Biluo Mansion made a mistake...
But Liu Yuan thought back to what was written in the letter, and then thought about the professionalism of the Biluo Mansion. Most importantly, he thought that they were indeed the first to enter this secret realm, which meant that He Qingmeng was indeed a descendant of Emperor Wu.
But when this question was raised at this time, it seemed that Emperor Wu was not simply confused, but had some doubts... He couldn't possibly have an illegitimate child outside, right?
No, actually, what if it really exists?
Liu Yuan glanced at the three-headed demon that was following closely behind him, and heard the little fox screaming in fear on the wind beside his ears: "Big bad guy, wuwuwu..."
"Zhizhi, stop playing."
"Oh..." Zhizhi blinked, opened her mouth, and let go of the fox tail in her mouth.
Su Bi's eyes were filled with tears. She immediately put her tail away with a wronged look on her face. Not only did she tuck her tail between her legs, she also deliberately covered her pants with it.
She, she wasn't scared to the point of peeing... No, no, she wasn't!
It was only because she was scared and the tail was bitten that this happened. She is not a bad kid who wets the bed... She is a hundred years old! She is very mature! She would not want a bad guy to clean it for her!
——According to the average age of the fox clan, which is one thousand years old, she is just a ten-year-old girl, the age when she wets the bed.
"Senior Wudi, even if Miss Qingmeng's identity is indeed questionable, she was captured by the Biluo Mansion and she herself is unaware of it... Now it is more important to deal with the matter of the Heavenly Demon first."
Liu Yuan managed to maintain it to some extent.
After all, the person is still in his arms, even though he had rejected her.
Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Indeed... Well, judging from this kid's memory, you are not simple and your judgment is quite accurate."
Before Liu Yuan could ask what this meant, Emperor Wu continued, "Go out from here and head north. This is the only exit."
Oh...it's about getting out of the secret realm.
Liu Yuan actually wanted to ask you whether this was a permanent possession or just a temporary loan of the body...but after thinking about it, asking this question seemed like he was going to turn hostile.
In the world of immortal cultivation, possessing another's body is considered an evil practice after all.
After all, Liu Yuan's purpose of coming here was not glorious, and he had no real friendship with Tang Yuanhua. Asking this question seemed to be helping Tang Yuanhua.
They said that they were going to a dungeon to snatch Emperor Wu's inheritance, but this dungeon was Emperor Wu's tomb, which was equivalent to tomb robbing, and Emperor Wu's inheritance... In fact, no one asked Emperor Wu whether he agreed.
It's almost like coming to rob.
If we really want to make a fuss, it wouldn't be too much for Emperor Wu to stab them in the back and kick them down.
However, comparing them at this moment, it is indeed more important to kill the demons.
"That demon..."
"Don't worry."
Emperor Wu's tone remained calm.
Liu Yuan thought that this was probably the aura of a real boss. Even if he was just a remnant soul, even if a thousand years had passed, even if he probably didn't have much strength left... he was still calm and composed.
Even his escape was so decisive.
Emperor Wu shouted "Heavenly Secret", and then with a loud bang, the entire Sutra Library began to move. The tracks of those library rooms in it all changed, and many huge wooden beams came out from the side, blocking their back in an instant, and the similar white puppets from before all jumped out.
"Boom boom boom!" The wooden beams popped one after another.
"Shh!"
The three-headed demon suddenly changed direction and flapped his wings to avoid being smashed into pieces by the wooden beams. He waved his hand with a ferocious look on his face and summoned several bird-like beasts from the ground to block the wooden beams for him.
But there are puppets behind.
Agile, quick, flexible, and powerful, these puppets didn't even feel any pain. They attacked the three-headed demon with expressionless faces, the long swords in their hands shining coldly like a meat grinder.
"Roar--!"
The three-headed demon let out a long howl towards the sky, and the black demonic energy in his hands raged and condensed into a long spear.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The crash was loud and violent. The criss-crossing wooden beams blocked the entire exit. The three-headed demon was fighting a group of puppets and could not catch up in time.
Everyone was about to rush up violently, and Chui Chui was so excited that he was ready to flip the roof over with his head. However, he just passed through a layer of membrane and smoothly transitioned to the outside.
"Wow!"
The sun was still shining brightly on the island, and the familiar ruins of the white jade palace were right at my feet.
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief on the dragon's back.
It turns out that this Sutra Library is actually a killing machine.
Or… maybe the whole palace was like that too.
Liu Yuan thought of the lotus pond garden on the first floor of the palace, where the eternal lamp was also equipped with a complete set of mechanical devices.
"Lord Emperor Wu, do you still remember me?" Hong Fu suddenly whispered.
Chapter 211 The Little Doll's Heart Knot
Liu Yuan turned over and stood up, helping He Qingmeng up at the same time, without interrupting Hong Fu's questions.
He glanced at Hong Fu's expression...his eyes were expectant and nervous, his little hands were gently pinching the corner of his clothes, but on the surface, the little doll was still very calm, with a faint expression, which he maintained very well.
It's totally unlike the little robot that can't do housework at all, causing it to fall to the ground even when sweeping the floor in a tomb.
...This is true.
Although when we first met, the little doll was wearing an apron similar to a maid's outfit, holding a broom and a lamp in her hands, looking like a little maid in a tomb, diligent and conscientious.
But as a player, in this copy, Liu Yuan has seen more than once that the little puppet was constantly breaking the funerary decorations in the tomb of Emperor Wu Cave while cleaning, and then secretly collecting them and repairing them.
What's more, he also raised the favorability of the little doll to the maximum value.
This puppet is a typical example of appearance deception.
On the surface, it looks like a must-have household robot for home and travel, but in fact, it is clumsy and can't even sweep the floor.
Not even as good as Liu Yuan’s life skills!
Liu Yuan even suspected that even if no players or other NPCs discovered this place, thousands of years later, this little puppet would gradually destroy the Emperor Wu's tomb in the process of cleaning... without leaving a trace.
Players call Hong Fu "the last mercury lamp". Firstly, it means that Yanshi is dead and dolls like her are out of print. Secondly, it is just a joke made by a group of older cute fans about a doll character in an old anime.
The little doll's expressionless look, small body, delicate face, and a hint of mystery and indifference due to being in the dark tomb are very similar to the doll named Mercury Lamp.
However, this is just a feeling of alienation caused by not talking to people for a long time. In fact, the little doll's heart is very soft and longs for care, unlike the shadow who is really nothing.
"I can see the exit if I go north." Liu Yuan muttered to himself, and reached out to touch the long horn on top of Chui Chui's head - because he had transformed into a dragon, the concept of Chui Chui's "top of the head" became particularly large...
But Zhizhi might not be able to hold on without spiritual support. Even if she goes out now, if the three-headed demon catches up, it would be equivalent to changing the map and continuing to fight it. In this way, they will always be at a disadvantage because they have no way to obtain spiritual power, while the demons can use magic energy.
The demon system is different from that of humans. If they were in the demon world, they would not need to have any spiritual power. However, because they have to come to the human world, it is like a deep-sea fish going onto land. The pressure is not right, so they must have a shell - that is, the human skin.
When using humans, one must follow the human body structure and use part of the spiritual power to maintain the body, so it will also be restricted to a certain extent.
But compared to the few immortal cultivators here, it is already quite free.
So logically, they would never be able to defeat the three-headed demon. Didn’t you see that Emperor Wu decisively ran away?
"This can't work..."
Because they had already come out of the white jade palace, the hammer was flying quite high. When Liu Yuan looked into the distance, he saw a vast expanse of blue.
This secret realm is really big...
