Chapter 403: There Must Be a Stick in the Shit Tank
"Well said! You are worthy of being my daughter!" Demon Lord Boyan seemed very satisfied. "The demons have never been obedient to the will of heaven. Auspicious signs are nothing more than a plaything."
Lingxiang almost choked on her own saliva. She glanced at the Demon Lord awkwardly, but she was complaining in her heart: It's just nonsense, but someone actually believed it.
This Demon Lord must be a fool, right?
However, Lingxiang did not show any expression on her face, because she did not want to keep things quiet at all.
Even after being hit on the head, do you still have to greet him with a smile?
"Ouch! How come I stepped on your hand but you didn't say anything?" Lingxiang pretended to be surprised and quickly raised her foot, "It's as if I'm bullying you."
"Although you servants should know the rules, we can't be masters who mistreat our servants. It would be bad if we were criticized for no reason."
Lingxiang kept calling her servant and master, which made Yinghua furious. However, she did not dare to lose her temper and could only endure it in silence. However...
But this hand hurts so much!
But Lingxiang didn't give Yinghuan a chance to relax and continued talking to herself.
"It's good that you, a servant, can think about your master. But there's one thing I don't understand..." Lingxiang dragged out her voice as if to keep someone in suspense. "Since you valued the auspicious omen so much, why didn't you stop it at that time? Instead, you rushed to the Demon Lord's Palace to slander him?"
"I……"
I don't!
Huanhuan wanted to refute, but she didn't dare. She really wanted to use the Demon Lord to get rid of Lingxiang, but she didn't expect that this little girl was so difficult to deal with, and she was tricked instead. If she ran to Lingxiang and made trouble and was exposed, she would be the one to be punished. She really couldn't say anything.
"You keep saying that I let the phoenix go, but everyone knows that when a phoenix grows up, it will fly to Penglai. This is its instinct. Did you work as General Yiyou for so many years in vain? How could you not even know such a thing?"
Lingxiang has no intention of letting Xiulan go.
"Or is it that you are just talking about respecting Your Majesty? After all, everyone knows my level of cultivation. You don't stop the Phoenix, but let me, a person of low cultivation, stop it. What is your intention?"
Yinghuan broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing whether to argue or not.
This bitch, that’s enough, she still wants to torture me to death. I should have killed her first to save myself so much trouble now.
Just at this moment, a demon soldier shouted that he had something to report, and Huanhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The demon soldier said, "Three people left the demon realm in a hurry, and they were holding Princess Fengyuan's badge." Then he presented the badge.
When Yinghuan heard this, her heart was immediately filled with joy. This was truly a timely help!
She roughly guessed who the three people the demon soldier was talking about were. Although the demon world did not have a curfew like the human world, no one could leave the demon world without permission unless there was an order from the Demon Lord. Violators would be punished with death.
No matter who these three people are, since they are holding Princess Fengyuan's badge, they are acting under Princess Fengyuan's orders, so all the blame should be borne by Princess Fengyuan.
The surroundings suddenly became much colder, even Lingxiang felt the chill, only Yinghuan was still gloating.
Ha! You naughty girl, let's see if you can survive this!
Demon Lord Boyan had a cold face, stroking the badge in his hand, but he said nothing. Lingxiang didn't seem to want to explain, she stood there calmly, but her heart was beating fast -
No one said the badge would be taken away? This damn Wu Minjun didn't even remind her. Now, someone has something to hold against her.
However, Lingxiang didn't show any emotion on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her. What a joke! The Demon Lord on the seat hasn't spoken yet. If I speak first, wouldn't I be in the wrong?
As the saying goes, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If you don't say anything, I won't say anything either. Let's see who can outlast the other.
The two masters remained silent, but Yinghuan could not kneel any longer, fearing that the Demon Lord would protect Lingxiang again. However, she did not dare to speak rashly. After pondering for a long time, she decided to start with Lingxiang.
"Princess, I've told you many times that you cannot send people out of the Demon Realm without permission. Why don't you listen?" Yinghuan said in a tone of earnest advice from an elder.
Although Huanhuan's words seemed helpless, she was actually telling the Demon Lord that Lingxiang had done this more than once or twice.
Lingxiang glanced at Yinghua: "Okay, okay, let's play this game, right? How can we leave you out?"
"Why wouldn't I listen to what you said?" Ling Xiang looked aggrieved. "I've run out of the ingredients for refining the elixir for you, Your Excellency. It's the one I asked you to go to Chongchuan to collect last time. And you said you wanted to take a rest, so I had to let someone else go."
This sentence is also a double entendre. First, it means that Yinghuan had once left the Demon Realm without permission. Second, it is a warning to Yinghuan that if she has any tricks again, he will reveal the fact that she has offended him.
Yinghuan gnashed her teeth in hatred and cursed Lingxiang inwardly, but the Demon Lord heard something else.
"Mushikawa? What kind of herbs did you go to Mushikawa to collect?"
Yinghuan shuddered all over and was about to answer, but Lingxiang spoke first.
"It's the Mushikawa Higan," Lingxiang said with a sigh, "Your Majesty asked me to refine the Huitian Pill, which requires a piece of Wangchuan Higan, but Wangchuan Higan can only be obtained in Fengdu, which is not a place people can go to. I thought that since they are all Lycoris, the ones from Mushikawa should be similar, so I asked General Yiyou to go and collect them."
Are you kidding! Not to mention whether there is Wangchuan Bi'an in Huitian Dan, even if there is, you can't just replace the ingredients casually.
As the saying goes, a small mistake can lead to a big error. Even if there is only a difference of one word, the medicinal properties will be very different, and the resulting pill will also be very different.
Ha! They are just a bunch of laymen, so how can they not be cheating?
As soon as the Huitian Pill was mentioned, Demon Lord Boyan immediately put Lingxiang's matter aside and asked about the progress of the Huitian Pill. Lingxiang smiled secretly when she heard that.
Sure enough, this thing is the most effective.
"Except for the difference in the ingredients, the method is also according to mother's steps, but somehow, I just can't make it." Lingxiang said, and sighed heavily, "Maybe I am really not as good as mother. After all, I am only at the foundation-building stage."
Bullshit, which of those vicious powders you concocted could be made by your bitch mother?
Yinghuan cursed viciously in her heart. If her eyes were as sharp as knives, she could skin Lingxiang alive.
When the Demon Lord heard what was said, he pondered for a while, then acted like a "father" and started lecturing Lingxiang.
"How can it be enough to be almost right? If every time is almost right, are you saving people or harming them? Everything must be done carefully and rigorously, otherwise how can you practice medicine and preach in the future?"
After hearing this, Lingxiang immediately acted as if she was learning.
"Yes, yes, that's why I borrowed Wolf Head General from Lord Wumin and asked him to lead my people to secretly explore Fengdu. I just hope that I can collect the right medicinal ingredients this time."
Ha! You are so good, Wumin-kun, you dragged me into this mess, and you want to just sit on the sidelines and walk away unscathed? No way!
If you eat my goodies, you must spit them out skin and bones!
Anyway, you demons are all a bunch of snakes and rats. I'll kill as many of you as I can and consider it as doing justice for the heavens!
