Qin Xiao looked at the king and said, "That's not it. Although I did have a guess from the beginning, I didn't do this because I'm certain that I won't die."
"This is indeed my bottom line, so I won't lower my head."
"There's a saying in my hometown that goes like this: 'Everyone will die, either as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.' I, Qin Xiao, can die standing, but I will never live kneeling. "
"I don't want to die, but I'm not afraid of death. If you want to use death to force me to compromise, it won't work. "
"Everyone will die, either as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai?" After the king read it silently, it smacked its lips and said, "What the hell is this? Who said that everyone will die? Once you become an immortal, you won't die at all, unless you're killed by others. "
"Is a feather very light? Isn't Mount Tai just a mountain? How heavy can it be? "
"…" Hearing such an interpretation, Qin Xiao was speechless for a moment.
However, he didn't argue with the king about this anymore. It was meaningless.
"King, since you won't kill me, can you let me go first?" Qin Xiao said.
The king glanced at Qin Xiao with a displeased look and said with certainty, "You can't."
"I'll let you go just because you told me to? How embarrassing would that be?"
"I just won't kill you, but I didn't say I can't bully you."
"I know you're in pain now, and I like to see you in pain. So, why should I let you go in such a hurry? With your condition, it won't be a problem for you to hold on for another one or two hundred years. "
"No hurry, no hurry. As long as I don't kill you, you can slowly enjoy the rest."
"When I'm in a better mood, I might let you go in advance. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll let you go before you die. "
"Don't worry, don't worry. I said I won't kill you, so I won't kill you. I won't let you die. When it's time for you to die, I'll know and save you. "
"Hahaha, you can continue to suffer. I'm going to drink."
With that, the king really left.
Qin Xiao was also speechless. This guy really left.
But what could he do?
Wasn't it said that since ancient times, only vile people and women were difficult to deal with?
Wasn't this king a complete villain? The person was small, the heart was even smaller.
In the midst of extreme pain and suffering, a hundred years seemed very long.
A hundred years later, the King held a wine pot in one hand and a greasy meat thigh in the other, eating it in big bites. A strange fragrance wafted into his nose, whetting his appetite.
Fortunately, Qin Xiao had a good tolerance for good wine and food, so he was not greedy for these things.
"Kid, how is it? Not bad, right? Do you really think that you will have a good life after offending this king? "
"So what if you're stubborn? If I can't make you lower your head, can't I make you feel good?"
"If you can't stand it, just say it. Don't die by accident."
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Then you can rest assured, king. I, Qin Xiao, am not that fragile. I won't die so easily."
"Isn't it just another hundred years of suffering? It's nothing. Come on, I'll take it as training my immortal body."
"Stubborn." The king spat. With a wave of his hand, a comfortable chair appeared behind him. He simply sat down and drank while looking at Qin Xiao.
From time to time, he would say a few words, trying to provoke Qin Xiao. But Qin Xiao was unaffected.
Just like that, the two of them were in a deadlock. Another fifty years passed.
Qin Xiao was infinitely close to his limit. He could collapse at any time.
Qin Xiao's body had begun to tremble uncontrollably, as if he was about to explode at any time.
He had reached his limit in all aspects. Once he collapsed, Qin Xiao's immortal body and soul would instantly shatter, collapse, and die.
Therefore, Qin Xiao was infinitely close to death.
The king was still drinking his wine, glancing at Qin Xiao from time to time.
Qin Xiao naturally did not have the mind to care about the king at this time. He guarded his mind to prevent it from collapsing.
But it was too difficult and too painful. He could not stop it at all.
He could block it for a while, but not forever. There was no way he could block it forever.
The terrifying power hit Qin Xiao's last line of defense again and again. Step by step, Qin Xiao was on the verge of collapse.
He was on the verge of collapse, just a little bit away.
But Qin Xiao still refused to admit defeat. He still wanted to fight, to the death.
Even if he could not, he would not bow down.
With his lowly strength, with the light of a firefly, he wanted to stir up the entire firmament.
"This kid is really stubborn. However, his temperament was indeed very good. It's no wonder that he could come here with such a weak strength. He can be considered extremely heaven-defying. "
"But —"
The king shook his head inwardly. "It's not that easy to walk out of here alive."
"Forget it, forget it. I should stop. If I continue playing, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill this kid. If the Valley Lord descends, I'll be in big trouble. I'm still very young. I've only lived for twelve years. I don't want to die. "
With this thought, the king waved his hand. The branches binding Qin Xiao quickly retreated like the ebbing tide.
The tide rose slowly, but ebbed extremely quickly.
As soon as the branches retreated, Qin Xiao immediately relaxed. Without the restraint of external forces, his body and mind were incomparably relaxed.
However, the torment of nearly a thousand years had seriously injured Qin Xiao. He had used up seventy percent of his immortal power and his entire body was somewhat paralyzed.
Qin Xiao sat down cross-legged and prepared to recuperate his immortal body first. Otherwise, he would not be able to participate in the test in this state.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to adjust his immortal body.
The king glanced at Qin Xiao and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. After all, he's the one who caused it. If I let this kid recuperate like this, he won't be able to recover in less than ten thousand years. I don't want to stay here and watch over him for ten thousand years. I can only feel sorry for him, although I don't want to. "
With that, the king poured the wine pot in his hand onto Qin Xiao. Immediately, immortal wine fell onto Qin Xiao like rain.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the king take action, Qin Xiao was slightly taken aback. However, he could clearly sense that this immortal wine was extraordinary.
Therefore, Qin Xiao naturally did not resist. Instead, he took the initiative to welcome the immortal wine and let it fall onto his body and seep into his body.
Sure enough, once the immortal wine entered his body, Qin Xiao could clearly feel a strong surge of immortal power surging into his body. It was a source of nourishment and strength for Qin Xiao.
This was simply an immortal elixir that could quickly heal Qin Xiao's injuries.
Qin Xiao did not hesitate. He absorbed all the immortal wine and began to heal his injuries.
With the help of this immortal wine, Qin Xiao recovered in just a short hundred years.
After regaining his energy, Qin Xiao stood up and looked over. His gaze fell on the king.
Although the king had tortured him for nearly a thousand years, it was indeed very abominable. However, these were two separate matters. Qin Xiao was still very clear about gratitude and grudges.
Therefore, Qin Xiao stepped forward and cupped his fists. "Thank you for the immortal wine, Your Majesty."
"Don't, don't, don't —" The king immediately waved his hand and stopped Qin Xiao. "Don't try to worm your way into being friends with me. It's too late to curry favor with me now. I won't fall for it."
Qin Xiao curled his lips and said, "Maybe you're thinking too much. I'm just purely thanking you for giving me the immortal wine to help me heal."
"As for the pain and torment you gave me, I still remember it. So, don't worry, I won't curry favor with you. "
"Actually, I'm not afraid of you being unhappy, but I don't have a good impression of you at all."
"You, you, you —" The king was so angry that he almost lost his temper again. However, he still restrained himself. "You brat, I'm a magnanimous man. I won't lower myself to your level."
"You'll have to suffer in the future. Brat, you should really curry favor with me. If that's the case, you'll have a much higher chance of making it out alive. "
"If I tell you more about the situation, you'll know how to better pass the test and leave here. If I tell you less, you'll be miserable. "
"So, brat, don't ever provoke me again. If you dare to annoy me, I'll definitely make you even more annoyed. "
Qin Xiao did not doubt this. However, Qin Xiao could not deliberately curry favor with the king. That was not something Qin Xiao could do.
It was okay to give him enough respect.
As for the rest, forget it. Even if it was more dangerous, it did not matter.
"My king, you're a senior and a powerhouse. It's only right that I respect you. I'm not stupid. Why would I take the initiative to provoke you? "Qin Xiao said.
When the weak provoked the strong, it was either because they had a grudge against them or because they were stupid. If it was neither, then they must be tired of living.
Obviously, these three Qin Xiao did not have any of these.
"Mm, mm, that's more like it. Brat, it seems that you're not that annoying after all. "Only then did the king feel a little better.
"I'm not annoying in the first place …"
The king waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's get down to business. Brat, first of all, I have to say that your luck is indeed very good. "
"Very good luck?" Qin Xiao looked puzzled. He looked at the king and said, "Please enlighten me, my king."
The King grinned and placed his hands behind his back. He turned around and even turned back to glance at Qin Xiao from the corner of his eye. After a while, he said, "If you weren't the first to reach this King's territory, I'm afraid you would be dead by now."
"You know nothing about the test. This in itself is a test for you."
"Since it's a test, there's naturally no so-called fairness. There are many accidental factors in it. Luck plays a very important role."
"If your luck is bad, you'll die faster. If your luck is good, you'll be closer to success. "
"Your luck is not bad. You're the first to meet me."
Qin Xiao looked at the king. After listening to him say so much, he still did not understand at all.
What was so good about luck?
Therefore, Qin Xiao could not help but ask, "My king, can you be more specific?"
"I really know nothing about the test now. I also don't know how to participate in the test, much less how to pass the test."
"Therefore, I hope that my king can give me some pointers and give me a rough idea. Only then will I know what exactly I have to do. "
"Haha, if you want to know, then beg me. If you beg me, this Great King will tell you everything in detail. I guarantee that you will be able to understand everything clearly right away. Then, your chances of passing the test will be much higher. "The Great King smiled with a smug look on its face.
"…"
Qin Xiao was speechless. Begging again? Couldn't he say something else?
He liked people to please him and beg him at every turn. Did this king like these superficial things so much?
Qin Xiao was really speechless.
