Although the honey trap was one of the tried and tested stratagems of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, and the beauties sent to the hibiscus tent would often become the poison that was fed into the enemy's stomach, not every beauty was suitable for such a task.
For example, you could send Diao Chan out to coordinate with you.
But why don't you try sending Mu Guiying instead?
Gu Mang naturally knew Mo Xi's temperament, and knew that the matters between men and women were his greatest taboo. Because Mo Xi had seen his mother and uncle having an affair when he was young, he had a serious obsession with cleanliness. He couldn't stand women having improper thoughts about him, and hated betrayal between lovers the most. Thus, in his thirty years of life, Gu Mang was the only one who could take liberties with him and not be killed by him.
Despite the awkwardness, seeing Mo Mie clench his fists and gnash his teeth clearly on that handsome face, thousands of thoughts flashed through Gu Mang's mind. In the end, he suddenly raised his head and shouted with quick-wittedness, "Why is it you?!"
His voice was earth-shattering, and all the demons, including Mo Xi, turned to stare at him.
Wuyan narrowed her eyes, "… You two know each other?"
Gu Mang immediately knelt down and pretended to be uneasy, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, I was rude."
"I'm asking you a question. You two know each other?" Wuyan glanced at Gu Mang and then at Mo Xi, "… Is he your lover?"
The Fire Bat Clan was originally a demon born from the union of licentious and depraved feathermen and beasts. Naturally, there was no rule about not being able to take someone's wife by force. Gu Mang thought that if he said that Mo Xi was indeed his lover, the Queen might feel even more excited and be even more unwilling to let go.
Thus, he immediately put on a bitter face and raised his head to look at Wuyan, "How could I be his lover? I hate him more than anything. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just disgusted and offended Your Majesty … "
Wuyan became more and more curious. She blinked her glassy eyes, "How did he offend you?"
Gu Mang straightened up and pointed at Mo Xie. He didn't even blink and didn't stutter. He said resolutely and forcefully, "He can't!"
Mo Xi, "…"
Wuyan, "…"
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an extreme silence. Almost all the banshees in the waterside pavilion were staring at Mochime from head to toe. As they stared, they whispered to each other. A few young banshees could not help but cover their mouths with their sleeves and laugh out loud. Even a few of the male demons who came in with Mo Quench looked at him with undisguised sympathy in their eyes.
Wuyan said, "How do you know this?"
Gu Mang ignored Mo Xie's murderous glare and said, "Replying to Your Majesty, I once dual cultivated with him, but because he was too unreliable, my primordial spirit was damaged. Aiyo, I'm so angry. How could I not remember such a great grudge?"
Everyone looked at Mo Xi with even more strange expressions.
Big Brother, it's fine if you can't do it, but how could you cause harm to the female demon who dual cultivated with you? What kind of technique is this?
Even Wuyan had a lingering fear. She didn't take the Blood Spirit Pill and wanted to rely on the Blood Pool and the Mysterious Fairy Dual Cultivation to replenish her energy. If she was really bewitched by the beauty in front of her and chose an unreliable man to serve her, the effect would be the opposite of what she wanted.
So close, so close.
She immediately turned around and shouted at Fang, "I told you to choose people, what did you choose?!"
Fang was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly kowtowed and apologized. Then she said to Mo Xi, "Why are you still standing here? Did you make the King even more unhappy?! Get out of here!! "
"…" Mo Xi was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he couldn't do anything. In the end, he could only glare at this group of lunatics and the hooligan who was full of nonsense, then he turned around and left.
Wuyan rolled her eyes and said to the remaining male demons, "I'm tired today. If any of you are unreliable, get out of here as soon as possible. If anyone of you stays behind and is picked by me, you will cause me to exhaust my primordial spirit. I will make sure that you will not be able to bear the consequences! "
The Fire Bat Clan was good at persuasion, so the male demons were naturally confident. When they saw the Queen's naked body, their cheeks turned red and their eyes glowed. They couldn't help but rush to recommend themselves.
"I can do it!"
"Your Majesty, I can do it!"
"Your Majesty, I can do it!"
Gu Mang, "…"
Fortunately, this group of demons were stupid. If it were the intelligent Green Hill Fox Clan, it wouldn't be so easy for him to deal with them.
The Queen was probably scared of Gu Mang. In the end, she chose a tall and strong demon with luxuriant hair and muscles. She went into the room with this demon to rest. Fang closed the door for them and breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and said to the other demons in the agate pool, "Alright, that's all for tonight. You can all leave. Go cultivate yourselves and gather Qi for the King. "
The demons said, "Yes!"
They all left in a hurry. Gu Mang saw the nervous expressions of the female yao. Quite a few of them had rushed over to the remaining male yao the queen had chosen, fighting to be the first to say something to them. He was rather puzzled.
Why were they in such a hurry?
What did they mean by cultivating yourselves and gathering Qi for the King?
As he muttered, he didn't want to attract any attention, so he cleaned up the fruit platter in the corner before leaving. But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, all his doubts were answered.
He saw that by the waterside pavilion, the female bat demons and the male guards were a little confused. These demons got together in pairs and played together. Even the fat female demon who reprimanded him with a whip was looking for male demons to play with her. Those who found someone to play with went to the simple thatched huts built on both sides of the waterside pavilion. There were a few thatched huts with curtains down, and there were strange sounds unique to the bat demons when they were having fun.
In these thatched huts with demons, wisps of white smoke gradually rose and gathered toward the inner courtyard of the waterside pavilion, where the Queen rested.
It turned out that in addition to Wuyan's own Yin-Yang Mysterious Lady Dao, she could also absorb the Reiki of other demons!
Even a shameless person like Gu Mang couldn't help but blush. But he couldn't help but think that the Fire Bat Clan was born from the depravity of the feathermen. However, they could rely on Reiki to replenish their Qi. Everything in Jiuzhou was really wonderful.
Just as he was thinking about this, someone suddenly put his hand on his shoulder from behind.
Gu Mang was originally very nervous in this live erotic palace, for fear that some blind male demon would come over and pester him. So when he was caught off guard, he immediately turned around, but before he could see the other person's face, he was suddenly pulled back. The other person held him back, covered his mouth, and brought him to the nearest thatched hut without saying a word.
Gu Mang was a little panicked in an instant. The bat demon's strength was amazing. He couldn't use magic, so he could only struggle with his bare hands. But he was not the opponent's opponent in terms of strength. Not only did he fail to break free from the male demon's grip, but he was also tightly covered and couldn't even make a sound. He was directly pushed into the thatched hut and violently thrown on the haystack.
The bamboo curtain was lowered against the moonlight, and the narrow thatched hut instantly fell into darkness.
Gu Mang's scalp instantly went numb.
After all, the Fire Bat Clan was divided from the feathermen, and the feathermen were birds. In the most primitive places, such as the places where they reproduced, they instinctively tended to be birds. So, there were no beds in the thatched hut for them to mate, only mattresses that looked like molds.
The pungent smell of hay rushed into his nostrils with the smell of primitive beasts. The strong smell almost suffocated Gu Mang.
To fight or not to fight, that was the question.
If he didn't fight now, he was afraid that he would be tormented by a male bat demon here in the dark. But if he fought, not only would he not be able to get the information about the enchantment of Bat Island, but if there was a riot, even Yue Chenqing and the others would be implicated by him.
His mind was buzzing with irritation. Seeing the tall figure walking towards him, Gu Mang couldn't help but scream, "Big Brother! Let's talk nicely! I-I-I'm still a young bird!!! I'm not suitable for yin and yang dual cultivation. Do you want to change your target?! "
The other party didn't seem to want to listen to his nagging. He came over and pulled him up, pressing him between the haystacks.
Gu Mang shouted, "F * ck! You! F * ck! Ah! I've already said so, and you still don't want to stop? You, f * cking like to f * cking use force?! "
The other party finally spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, his magnetic and low voice made Gu Mang's whole body tremble.
"Shout again." That person was forced to the extreme, angry, forbearing, and irritated. His voice was close to his ear, rising and falling with his hot and moist breath.
"I'll really do it."
"…"
Gu Mang didn't say anything.
After a while, the big hand around his throat let go. The other party straightened his body, and a cluster of fireballs lit up, illuminating the small and cramped straw hut.
In the orange-yellow firelight, Mo Xi was biting his lip, holding the flame with one hand while glaring at him fiercely. His beautiful phoenix eyes were seven parts ruthless and three parts red. Because of Gu Mang's struggle under his body, his clothes were slightly messy, and he wasn't as serious as he usually was.
"…" Gu Mang rubbed his neck, which had five red marks, and panted while rolling his eyes. "Cough, cough, cough!! Are you crazy? Didn't I just say you can't do it in front of that female bat king? "
Mo Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you just shut up?!"
"If I shut up, do you think I'll just watch you fight?!" Gu Mang was almost about to vomit, and his blue eyes were misty as he stared at him. "It seems that I should have said that this person is extraordinary, and that his ability is extraordinary. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied, and that you'll be taken to the side room by that queen and abused as a concubine!"
Mo Xi's face was red with anger. "You —!"
"What are you talking about?" Gu Mang fell on the haystack, took a deep breath, and murmured, "You really scared me to death just now. I thought that some bat spirit was in heat …"
He paused for a while and sat up.
He looked up and asked Mo Xi, "Let's get down to business. How's the situation in Yue Chenqing? "
Mo Xi suppressed his anger and answered, "Nothing unusual."
Gu Mang rubbed his neck again, and coughed a few times. "That's good. By the way, extinguish the fireball. This bamboo curtain doesn't block the light, and bat spirits don't like fire. If they see it, they'll know that there's something wrong with this straw hut. "
"I've set up a light-blocking enchantment."
"It's better to be cautious. It's better to be safe than sorry."
Mo Xi was silent for a moment, and then snapped his fingers, and the fireball suddenly disappeared.
Gu Mang sat back down and said, "Tonight's matter is almost settled. Wait patiently. When I take back the Soul-Sucking Spell I left in Wuyan's body, we'll know where to leave the island."
"When will you take it back?"
Gu Mang closed his eyes and paused for a while, and then suddenly opened them. "Now."
As he spoke, he began to make hand seals and silently recite the spell. Slowly, little bits of white light floated from the direction of the waterside pavilion, penetrated the walls of the straw hut, and gathered at Gu Mang's fingertips.
After about an incense stick's worth of time, a ball of mother-of-pearl light appeared in Gu Mang's palm.
"Look, this is Wuyan's divine sense." Gu Mang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mo Xi. "In addition to absorbing her secrets about enchantments, I also searched for the cause and effect of why she wanted to turn people into puppets. After all, Yue Chenqing was poisoned by her witchcraft. I wanted to be safe."
As he spoke, he also told Mo Xi what he had just heard by the agate pond.
Mo Xi frowned and said, "Wuyan was once betrayed by an immortal?"
"It sounds like it." Gu Mang said, "And I feel that in this divine sense, there's a high chance that we'll see that ungrateful immortal. Whatever, let's see first! "
After Gu Mang finished speaking, he moved his fingers slightly, and the ball of light slowly rose into the air, floating in front of Mo Xi and Gu Mang.
"Tell me." Gu Mang asked it, "Why did you use witchcraft on the men who came to the island?"
At first, the ball of light was pearl white, but after a while, five colors began to gather. A hazy image appeared on the surface of the ball, and a hazy, illusory voice of the divine sense was transmitted.
It was Wuyan's voice.
"… This matter …" Wuyan's voice softly said, "It started when I was still young …"
As her voice became clearer, the image in the ball of light also began to move.
"… At that time, there was a battle on the Dream Butterfly Islands. Because the demons on the neighboring islands had multiplied too much, there was no place to stand on the original island. In order to seize territory, they betrayed the alliance and invaded the Fire Bat Clan's island. They killed the queen of the Fire Bat Clan at that time — my mother. After that, they slaughtered the other bats on the island. "
The scene of the demons killing each other faintly flashed in the ball of light. The mother-of-pearl's luster dimmed, and the surface of the ball was covered with a layer of blood.
"At that time, I was one of the princes of the Bat King. Naturally, they saw me as a thorn in their side and wanted to kill me. My elder sister used herself as bait to protect me from the encirclement, but I was still seriously injured … My wings were broken, and my bones were broken, but I kept using my spiritual power to maintain them. I didn't dare to stop … But I also didn't know where the end of the flight would be … "
In the ball of light, the sea surged, and thunder and lightning intertwined.
"I fled on the sea for many, many days. Later, there was a storm on the surface of the sea. My physical strength was weak, and my wounds festered. I persevered and flew for a while, and finally landed on an unfamiliar island."
In the image, Wuyan, who was still in her infant form, flapped her wings. She struggled several times to fly, but in the end, it was useless.
"From the moment I landed, I could feel that this island was definitely not an ordinary island. Its spiritual energy was too strong — there must be an immortal on this island."
"I was so scared at that time," Wuyan said. Wuyan said, "Since I was young, I heard that since ancient times, immortals loved to kill demons. So when I was lying in the haystack, I thought, even if I didn't die from the internal strife of the demons, would I die in the hands of an immortal? I wanted to struggle up and fly away from this immortal island. But my energy was exhausted. This struggle didn't allow me to fly again. Instead, it attracted the attention of others. Someone waded through the sea of flowers and walked towards me … "
The bat with its wings broken was lying in the haystack, dying. It seemed to have suffered a serious injury. The membrane on its wings was torn, and blood flowed on the grass. Its pair of black eyes were wet, and it looked extremely pitiful.
Just as it was feeling helpless, a pair of white silk shoes with green edges suddenly appeared in the ball of light, stopping beside Wuyan. Then, a slender hand picked it up, and the other hand carefully held it in the palm of its hand.
Gu Mang said proudly, "See, what did I say? That ungrateful immortal appeared so quickly."
The field of view in the ball of light slowly moved up, from the plain-colored shoes to the spotless sleeves of the robe …
When the image completely moved to the immortal's face, Gu Mang and Mo Xi were instantly stunned —
They saw that the person was wearing a green robe. His face was handsome, and he had a pair of misty almond-shaped eyes. He had a noble temperament, like a bamboo tree reflecting the moon.
Gu Mang said in surprise, "Junzi Hui?!"
Mo Xi also opened his eyes wide, "Palace Master Chen …"
They never thought that the "ungrateful immortal" that appeared in the ball of light was actually the first sage of Chong Hua a hundred years ago, Junzi Hui!
