Because he felt that he shouldn't stay here for long, there were some things he wasn't in a hurry to ask the maidservant. He planned to ask the maidservant where the dragon's lair and phoenix's nest were after leaving this place. There was no reason for him not to be moved when he heard that the Pure Yang and Pure Yin flames were beneficial to his cultivation. In the end, before he could ask, Charcoal had already eaten the maidservant. It was the first time in his life that he saw a living person being eaten alive right in front of him. That cruel scene of a head being bitten off in one bite truly stunned Miao Yi. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was frightened.
Charcoal was also a little dumbfounded. After thinking about it, it made sense. He hadn't even asked the maidservant where he could avoid that Black Tiger Stronghold Master. He had indeed eaten too recklessly.
Before he could think further, he suddenly realized that the armor on his body had already retracted up to his neck, turning back into the Vajra Chakram. Then, his vision blurred. The Inversed-Scales Spear had already been swung out like a club, smashing into his head with a 'dong' sound.
"Awoo …" Charcoal cried out in anguish. He quickly laid down on the ground and covered his eyes with his claws. He was aware that he couldn't avoid this beating.
"How dare you eat someone in front of me!"
"You only know how to eat. What else do you know besides eating? Why don't you stuff yourself to death …"
Miao Yi swung his club like rain, giving him a vicious beating. He spun around in circles, cursing as he beat him. He was truly enraged.
After a series of thunderous booms, Miao Yi stood upright, leaning on his spear. His mouth was dry from all the cursing, and he was so tired that he was panting.
Charcoal slowly lowered his claws from his eyes. Just as he was about to get up, Miao Yi glared at him. He quickly lay down again, covering his eyes once more.
Miao Yi really wanted to stab this guy to death. If this continued, he would be killed by him sooner or later. But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to kill him.
'Bang!' Another spear strike landed on Charcoal's head. "What are you still doing here? Waiting for the Black Tiger Stronghold Master to come and settle the score with us? "
Charcoal hurriedly got up and shook off the dust on his body. He moved his numb body. Perhaps he didn't have any other abilities, but he could take a beating.
He turned around and ran to where Queen Calm Lake had been reduced to ashes. He stretched out his claws and pulled at a pearl on the ground. He turned back and shouted, "Sir, this is a good thing. Do you want it? If not, I'll eat it.
Miao Yi jumped up and down a few times. He landed to the side and opened his hand, taking the white bead with golden patterns into his hand to examine it.
However, as soon as the item entered his hand, he immediately felt as if he had been electrocuted. It could be said that he lost his mind in an instant. He fell into the boundless sea of resentment once again.
His five fingers gradually loosened, and the bead slipped from his fingertips and fell to the ground with a thud. Miao Yi shuddered for a moment before regaining consciousness. He stared at the pearl and once again reached out to grab it. However, this time, he was prepared. The Fiery Star Art blocked the spread of the vengeful spirit energy.
Xiao Chen held the bead in his hand and carefully examined it. He was secretly amazed. Something that contained such a strong power of resentment could not be felt without touching it personally. This should be the Resentment Bead that the maidservant mentioned. This item was similar to a cultivator's Core Formation. It could be considered the source of vengeful spirits, but the cause was different. There was too much vengeful spirit energy mixed in. According to the maid, the tyrants of the Desolate Wasteland would often offer this item to the stronger tyrants to protect themselves. It was a good item to devour and increase one's strength.
The sound of gulping could be heard from the side. Charcoal was staring at them with wide eyes. Miao Yi glanced at him, then casually tossed it to him. Charcoal caught it with his mouth and gulped it down. He shook his head and wagged his tail happily, throwing the matter of getting beaten to the back of his mind.
Soon after, Charcoal ran over to where the five maidservants were killed by Miao Yi earlier. Unfortunately, he only managed to find two intact Resentment Beads. The rest were all destroyed by Miao Yi's heart flames.
Charcoal ran back, leaning on his spear as he gazed into the distance. Miao Yi sighed softly. With a wave of his hand, the Vajra Collar around Charcoal's neck unfurled once again. Miao Yi flipped over and rode on his back, but he did not know where to go.
"Are we going back?" Charcoal shook his head and wagged his tail as he asked.
Miao Yi grew angry at the mention of this. He raised the Inversed-Scales Spear and knocked Charcoal's head once more. He snapped, "Go back? Are you waiting for them to come looking for trouble? "
Charcoal accepted his bad luck and asked listlessly, "Then where are we going?"
"You ate the guide. You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask?" Miao Yi smacked Charcoal's head again.
No matter what he said, it would be wrong, so Charcoal decided to just shut up.
Miao Yi surveyed his surroundings once more. A man and a mount stood in the wasteland, giving off an indescribable sense of beauty, antiquity, and desolation.
"Sigh!" Miao Yi sighed softly, placing the spear in his hands horizontally across his legs.
After what Charcoal did, it was obvious that he could no longer return to the cave by the lake. That Black Tiger Stronghold Chieftain would definitely come looking for him. A mere Black Tiger Stronghold Chieftain was nothing to be afraid of for the experienced Miao Yi. Even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses blocking his way, he would still dare to slaughter his way out with a spear and a mount in hand. What he was afraid of was that news would spread and attract the attention of many forces. That would be troublesome.
"Harrumph …" Charcoal shook his head and sneezed, "My lord, I know I was wrong. But you don't have to sigh. It's just a Black Tiger Stronghold Chieftain. There's nothing to be afraid of. With my lord's bravery, if he really dares to come looking for me, I don't know who will emerge victorious."
Dong! Miao Yi smashed his staff on his head again, angrily saying, "Besides eating, do you even have a brain? In our current situation, what's the use of killing a Black Tiger Stronghold Chieftain? There are still people more powerful than the Black Tiger Stronghold Chieftain behind him. Can we kill them all with just you and me? We still don't know who's going to kill who! "
Charcoal was puzzled, realizing that he was really wrong about everything he said. He weakly said, "I don't have a brain. You can just find someone with a brain to think of a solution. I remember that in the small world, when my lord wasn't around, Madam would always ask Yang Qing if she encountered any troublesome matters. Yang Qing would always be able to think of a solution. I've heard Madam say more than once that Yang Qing's brain is good. Can we ask Yang Qing? "
"Uh …" Miao Yi was stunned. That's right! He could ask Yang Qing.
In this kind of place, it wasn't a place that someone of Yang Qing's level of strength could play. He subconsciously eliminated Yang Qing, and didn't even think about Yang Qing. But if he really thought about it, Yang Qing's strength was not good enough, but this was also not a place where he could play with his strength. However, Yang Qing's methods were brilliant, and his brain was good as well. How could he forget about Yang Qing?
What a reminder. Dong! Miao Yi hit Charcoal's head with his staff again.
Charcoal thought he said something wrong again, and his head drooped. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi laughed out loud and said, "Fat thief, you finally said something sensible. You're right. You can ask Yang Qing."
Charcoal abruptly raised his head, shocked. His eyes were filled with shock as he asked, "Why? Why did you hit me even if I said something right?"
"Let's test the defensive capabilities of your armor." Miao Yi cut straight to the chase.
"..." Charcoal was speechless. He didn't know that people could be so shameless. It was worth learning.
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore?? Close??? Juan Chuan Li? Di Jiu?
At this time, Yang Qing wasn't in the Imperial Garden, but at the outer perimeter of the Heavenly Palace where the family members of the Imperial Guard were settled.
Yang Qing was originally here to visit Qing Ju, but when Qing Ju was unhappy, he also had a headache. The reason was none other than the beautiful concubine that Nie Wuxiao had given to Miao Yi. Miao Yi had forcefully given one to him, and he had no choice but to accept it.
With Yang Qing's rank, it was impossible for him to have a large manor here. However, he did have a small courtyard, which was neatly and tidily taken care of by Qing Ju.
In the pavilion in the courtyard, after the beautiful concubine gave her greetings, Qing Ju sent her away. Nie Wuxiao had indeed put in a lot of effort in giving Miao Yi the gift. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to give it to him. She was truly a national beauty, a femme fatale.
Qing Ju's actions made Yang Qing feel a little awkward. After pouring tea for him, Qing Ju said in a half soft and half hard manner, "Actually, her looks are still far from Madam's. If Milord really doesn't like her, you can learn from Milord and bestow her to your subordinates. Otherwise, when Madam and Miss find out, they won't be happy."
How could Yang Qing not know that she was jealous and was only using Qin Xi and Qin Weiwei as a cover? He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and sighed, "Qing Ju, you have to understand that some things are a matter of attitude. Milord insisted on giving her to me, but I gave her away to someone else. When Milord asks later, even though I can just say I don't like her and take her away, who knows if Milord's act of giving her away isn't to test me? It's not like you don't know that Milord has always been deliberately suppressing me. If it was just me alone, then it would be fine. At worst, we can just break up. But what about Weiwei? Weiwei is in Milord's inner chambers. Aside from me, she doesn't have any other helpers, unlike Milord's other concubines who have a faction supporting them. There are some things that it's better to be careful and not make any mistakes. "
He wanted to keep that beautiful concubine. Qing Ju curled her lips. Even though she didn't like it, as a handmaiden, it wasn't good for her to go overboard. She said indifferently, "I wonder how Milord is doing in the Desolate Wasteland."
Yang Qing tilted his head and glanced at her. He could vaguely hear from her tone that Miao Yi had suffered retribution in the Desolate Wasteland. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. Then, he was stunned. He took out the Star Bell and said with a frown, "Speaking of Milord, a message from Milord came. Could it be that you've encountered some trouble?"
After pondering for a moment, he replied. Just as he expected, Miao Yi opened his mouth and said, "Yang Qing, I've encountered some trouble in the Desolate Wasteland. I want to discuss how to deal with it with you."
Yang Qing immediately asked, "What kind of trouble?"
Miao Yi immediately explained his current situation.
After listening, Yang Qing pondered for a moment, then replied, "Milord, please explain the situation in detail. If I don't know the specifics, I'm afraid I won't know where to start."
Miao Yi naturally wouldn't hide this kind of thing. The Desolate Wasteland didn't hold any secrets to him. He explained the situation in detail. However, he still covered up the secret regarding Charcoal.
After listening, Yang Qing silently stood up. He held the Star Bell with both hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the pavilion. He paced back and forth in the courtyard, sorting out the situation that Miao Yi had described and thinking of countermeasures.
Qing Ju quieted down and didn't disturb him. She knew that Yang Qing was definitely thinking about something at this time and shouldn't be disturbed.
