"Audacious!"
Hearing the other party say that there was something wrong with his prince's head, Envoy Ran Mu's face darkened. "Our prince is healthy, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Healthy?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed. "Then... Are you the one who is sick?"
Since Emperor Mo Tianxue had specially invited him over to treat his illness, there was naturally someone who was sick. Since Emperor Mo Tianxue had just met Mo Yu yesterday, it was impossible for there to be anything wrong with him. Since there were only the two of them left in the hall, who else could it be other than them?
"You..."
Envoy Ran Mu nearly spurted a mouthful of blood. With a reddened face, he flung his sleeves and turned to the throne, "Emperor Tianxue, is this how your Tianwu Kingdom treats its guests? Even though our prince isn't the crown prince, he is still a king conferred by His Majesty. To send someone to humiliate him, are you trying to provoke our Kunqian Kingdom? "
"Envoy Ran Mu, please calm down..."
Not expecting Liu laoshi to say such words, Mo Tianxue's face turned awkward. He hurriedly explained, "I invited Liu laoshi here to treat his illness. He didn't know you two, so he offended you unintentionally. I hope that you can forgive him!"
After which, he hurriedly turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "Liu laoshi, they are guests of the kingdom, not patients..."
"Oh!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head as he glanced at Prince Fei Xuan doubtfully.
If he wasn't a patient, why would he speak so incoherently? It seemed like this Kunqian Kingdom was nothing much after all. To think that they would allow a mentally ill person to become a king...
Upon seeing his gaze, Prince Fei Xuan nearly spurted a mouthful of blood and fainted.
What do you mean by that?
What the heck are your eyes filled with pity for?
I'm a dignified prince, second only to one, above tens of thousands, an idol worshipped by countless people. Do I need your pity?
While he was on the verge of exploding, Princess Mo Yu widened her eyes and nearly burst into laughter.
It was no wonder why this fellow was able to infuriate her. His means of drawing hatred was simply too formidable.
With just a few words, he was able to make the usually composed Prince Fei Xuan's eyes redden. How infuriating.
Initially, she was still dissatisfied with this fellow, but seeing how he managed to infuriate Prince Fei Xuan so quickly, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
Suppressing his rage, Prince Fei Xuan glared coldly at Liu laoshi and said, "If you don't dare to compete, just say it!"
He had been humiliated before the princess, and now, he was being mocked by this fellow.
"Spar? Compete in what? "
Zhang Xuan was a little depressed when he saw that this fellow wanted to have a match with him as soon as he arrived.
I'm treating my illness and you're begging for your marriage. What does that have to do with me? Must they compete?
"It's very simple. Princess Mo Yu just said that if you want her to accept your marriage proposal, you must first defeat her pet beast. If you can defeat it, I'll admit defeat! Do you dare to compete? "
Sneering coldly, Prince Fei Xuan flung his sleeves.
He had just lost so much face in front of the Viridescent Eagle. Now that this fellow had bumped into him, he naturally wouldn't let him off easy.
In any case, the rules were set by Princess Mo Yu. If you are unable to pass, I will see how Mo Tianxue would reply later on.
As for whether Zhang Xuan would be able to pass the test, it had never crossed his mind.
Even a Tongxuan realm pinnacle expert like him was defeated by this savage beast in two moves. Given that the fellow before him was only at Tongxuan realm primary stage, how could he possibly withstand the attack of a Half-Zongshi?
"Defeat the savage beast?"
Zhang Xuan turned his head to look, only then did he notice Mo Yu's Viridescent Eagle.
He had changed his appearance and aura, such that even the sensitive savage beast wasn't able to recognize him.
"Indeed. If you dare not, I advise you to stop pestering Princess Mo Yu. She has no interest in a coward like you!" The edges of Prince Fei Xuan's lips curled up.
"This..."
Just as Prince Fei Xuan couldn't be bothered with this conceited fellow, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
Wasn't he a prince?
He should... have spirit stones too!
At this point, Prince Fei Xuan didn't seem to hate him anymore. Instead, he seemed more like a pile of treasures. "It doesn't mean much to me to defeat this savage beast, but... since you want to compete, shouldn't we have a wager first?"
"Wager?" Prince Fei Xuan was taken aback.
The loser would lose the right to pursue Princess Mo Yu. Wasn't this a wager?
"How about this? Spirit stones are more important to us cultivators. If I defeat this savage beast, you will give me a spirit stone! If I fail, I will give you a spirit stone. Do you dare to accept? "
The corners of Zhang Xuan's lips curled up as he looked at Prince Fei Xuan with a smile.
"Spirit stone?"
Prince Fei Xuan's eyes narrowed.
Spirit stones were incomparably valuable. Even as a prince, he only had one in his possession, and it was given to him by his father in order to help him reach Half-Zongshi. As his cultivation hadn't reached a sufficient level yet, he couldn't bear to use it.
Using this as a wager?
"Why, you don't dare? It's fine if you don't dare. I happen to have no interest in dealing with savage beasts anyway! "
Zhang Xuan stretched his back lazily with an infuriated expression.
"You... Why wouldn't I dare!" Seeing the other party's expression, Prince Fei Xuan couldn't hold himself back anymore. He waved his hands and said, "Let's do it then!"
"Your Highness..."
Envoy Ran Mu couldn't help but dissuade him.
Spirit stones were rare even in the royal family of Kunqian Kingdom. As a king, Prince Fei Xuan was only qualified to bestow one to the other party. Wasn't it a little too much to use it as a wager?
"Don't worry, he's just bluffing. I don't believe that a mere Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator can defeat a Half-Zongshi savage beast!" Prince Fei Xuan harrumphed.
The disparity between their cultivation realms was as vast as the ocean. This was especially so for a Half-Zongshi, who had already comprehended the disposition of a 'Zongshi'.
Usually, even four to five Tongxuan realm pinnacle cultivators wouldn't be a match for a Half-Zongshi, needless to say, a mere Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivator.
If a battle were to break out, Liu laoshi would surely be defeated in an instant.
The reason why this Liu laoshi was intentionally making this wager was to scare him.
With a flick of his wrist, a jade box appeared. Opening it, a crystalline stone could be seen. Concentrated spiritual energy emanated from it.
Spirit stone!
"My spirit stone is here. May I know where yours is?"
Holding the spirit stone in his palm, Prince Fei Xuan asked.
"Mine? Of course mine is here. If I lose, I'll definitely give it to you! "Zhang Xuan said." If you don't believe me, you can ask His Majesty! "
His spirit stone had already been reduced to dust, so naturally, he couldn't take it out. However, if he were to say that he didn't have it, the other party would probably back out of fear.
"Liu laoshi does have one. It's a gift I gave him yesterday!"
Even though Mo Tianxue was perplexed as to where Liu laoshi's confidence came from, he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
"Alright!" Prince Fei Xuan waved his hands. "Go on then! Princess Mo Yu, I hope that you won't get your savage beast to go easy on me. Otherwise, don't blame me for going against the rules you set previously! "
There were two reasons why he intentionally allowed Zhang Xuan to challenge him. Firstly, he wanted to humiliate the other party, and secondly, he wanted to see Princess Mo Yu's reaction.
If he were to lose as well, let's see how you all will decide on who will win...
Princess Mo Yu frowned and spoke up.
"Liu laoshi, you should consider it carefully. My Viridescent Eagle has already reached Half-Zongshi!"
If a Half-Zongshi Viridescent Eagle were to make a move, given his Tongxuan realm primary stage cultivation, he would definitely be unable to withstand it.
Her father's intention was for him to get on good terms with the other party. If he were to be injured by his tamed beast before he could do so, it wouldn't be easy for him to get on good terms with the other party in the future.
It would have been fine if she didn't say anything. However, the moment she did, Prince Fei Xuan was on the verge of exploding.
When you challenged me to a duel with that fellow, you agreed to it readily and excitedly. Yet, upon hearing his words, you immediately hesitated. What do you mean by this?
"I've already accepted the wager. If I were to go back on my words now, it would mean that I've lost. Princess Mo Yu, you don't wish for Liu laoshi to suffer a crushing defeat before the duel even begins! "
Harrumphing, Prince Fei Xuan said.
"Thank you for Your Highness's reminder, but so be it!"
Zhang Xuan nodded to Mo Yu before turning to Prince Fei Xuan. "I will fight with this Viridescent Eagle. However, I would like to ask you a question first. What do you mean by defeat?"
"Defeat means beating the Viridescent Eagle so badly that it doesn't dare to stand against you..." Prince Fei Xuan placed his hands behind his back.
"I understand!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. Then, he beckoned the Viridescent Eagle with his finger and said, "Come over here and let me beat you up until you dare not retaliate!"
"Cough cough!"
Upon hearing those words, not only Princess Mo Yu, even Emperor Mo Tianxue's body swayed and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Savage beasts were violent by nature, and provocation was the most infuriating thing to them. Yet, you beckoned it with your finger and spoke so arrogantly...
Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by the other party's wing?
"You are courting death..."
Initially, Prince Fei Xuan was still worried that the other party was up to something. However, upon hearing those provocative words, his eyes immediately glowed in excitement.
He didn't provoke the other party, but he was already nearly beaten to death. What else could it be other than courting death?
He could foresee that the Viridescent Eagle would go on a rampage and smash that fellow's head.
Qiu!
As expected, as soon as Prince Fei Xuan thought of this, the eyes of the Viridescent Eagle immediately reddened. It let out a long cry that shook the heavens.
Hu!
Flapping its thick wings, it immediately dashed out from behind Mo Yu.
"Be careful..."
Having known the Viridescent Eagle for so long, this was her second time seeing it so enraged. The first time was when it was provoked by Zhang Shi at the Beast Hall.
However, Zhang Shi possessed true strength whereas this fellow was only at Tongxuan realm primary stage. What was he putting on an act for?
If he were to be whipped to death by its wing, wouldn't the Physician Guild rush over to wreak havoc?
Just as Mo Yu was considering whether she should reprimand the Viridescent Eagle to show mercy, her eyes widened and her body staggered. She nearly fainted on the spot.
Even the gleeful Prince Fei Xuan, who thought that the fellow before him would surely die, felt his vision turning dark.
The ferocious Viridescent Eagle flapped its wings and flew up to Liu laoshi. Using its beak, it pulled the other party's fist toward itself.
From the looks of it, it was asking the young man to beat it up...
Weren't you humiliated by him and threatening to kill him?
Weren't you unwilling to let the matter rest?
What the heck was going on?
What was even more ridiculous was that upon seeing the other party clenching his fist tightly, the Viridescent Eagle immediately stopped its movements. Spreading its wings, it stood motionlessly on the spot, not resisting or dodging. Instead, anticipation and desire reflected in its eyes.
Clearly, it was waiting to be beaten up...
Despite being humiliated, the other party didn't make a move on him, and it was even looking forward to it...
Prince Fei Xuan felt a mouthful of blood churning in his throat, threatening to spurt out at any moment.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
