Although I played along with Prince Yue, in the end, I was only assisting from the side. When the title of the guest of the three clans was finally crowned on top of my head, I began to wonder: What use do I have for this reputation?
/p
I threw my doubts to Prince Yue. He smiled at me in a good mood: "It's never a bad thing to have more skills. It's the same with titles. There will always be times when it's useful."
/p
I ruthlessly exposed him: "Did you also do it for a moment? Did you not expect this result?"
/p
Prince Yue grasped the key words and ridiculed me: "Also?"
/p
I knew that I had misspoken, so I shrunk to the side. Prince Yue always liked to see me make a fool of myself. Seeing my miserable appearance, he was even happier. He directly swaggered and hugged me, as if he couldn't take a paste and stick it to me.
/p
Although the leopard cultivator sent a representative to apologize, his expression didn't change. He still had an ugly expression of deep hatred on his face. I didn't look for trouble and went forward, moving forward in the middle of the snake cultivator group. Lan Shan was like a country boy, clinging to Prince Yue and not letting go. He was short, so was I. Only Prince Yue was tall. He looked like a mountain character.
/p
Lan Shan said with admiration, "Brother Qi, you're so impressive. You refuted the leopard xiu's face with just a few words. Hey, did you know that the leopard xiu who quarreled with you is called Zhu Qi? He's a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. When he sees people, he'll shout at them with a loud voice like a red-hot wooden club. “/p
/p
"Do you and Bao Xiu have a grudge against Zhu Qi?"
/p
Lan Shan said: "Of course there's an old grudge between two straightforward people."
/p
Prince Yue looked at him and said modestly: "Actually, how could I win against Bao Xiu? You're the one who's loyal to your friends. You've protected us well. "
/p
"I'm just stating the truth."
/p
The two of us used each other to get what we needed. Who could say anything about the other?
/p
Lan Shan chuckled. Seeing that Brother Qi wasn't a muddle-headed guy, he didn't pursue the previous topic: "Brother Qi, have you heard of the Condemnation Ceremony of Immortals?" “/p
/p
Prince Yue tightened his grip on my hand, but his voice was very calm as he replied, "Although my doll is an insignificant loose cultivator, if you don't even know about the Condemnation Ceremony, I really can't afford to be called 'Fellow Immortal'."
/p
Lan Shan clapped her hands and said, "Then I won't ask you, I'll ask your wife."
/p
The topic suddenly changed to me, and it was a topic I've never heard of. I was an honest woman, so I could only shake my head honestly: "I'm a stupid and ignorant woman. I've never heard of this Condemnation Ceremony."
/p
Lan Shan narrowed his eyes and said somewhat tyrannically: "Isn't it because of a sinner from ancient times? If it wasn't for him, how could the human race rise to prominence under the glory of our race?"
/p
Memories of the ancient times kept popping up in my head. I rubbed my temples, feeling a little sleepy. "So?"
/p
"So our race captured the sinner and imprisoned him in the Hidden Pond for generations. Every year, he would be disdained by our race."
/p
My heart trembled: "That person, no, that sinner is still alive."
/p
"Yes, he's still alive," Lan Shan said: "However, he's neither alive nor dead. His body is as stiff as a statue. He can't speak or move. Thousands of chains are wrapped around his body. Even if he's been tortured like this for thousands of years, it won't make up for his sins."
/p
My body trembled.
/p
Prince Yue abruptly interrupted our conversation: "Where is the Hidden Pond for the Condemnation Ceremony?"
/p
Lan Shan turned her attention back to Prince Yue. She shaded her eyes with one hand and looked ahead. Under the shadow, his eyes were actually emitting a golden light. He muttered softly, as if he was calculating the distance. Not long after, he smiled and said, "Not long, not long. After passing this mountain, there are two more slopes and we will arrive."
/p
Prince Yue pondered for a while: "If we travel at night, we might be able to arrive on the same day."
/p
"Travel at night?" Lan Shan hesitated as she made a decision. "It's only right for us to travel at night. After all, the Condemnation Ceremony is such a big ceremony. It would be sincere to go there earlier. Moreover, after this ceremony, there's still the Revered Pan Gu Scriptures. We can't delay it!"
/p
Prince Yue nodded in agreement: "Yes, we can't delay it."
/p
Lan Shan said: "Besides, we're in the middle of nowhere. There's no way to build a village. We'll have to sleep in the forest at night anyway. It's better to travel early!"
/p
Prince Yue: "You're right, but there's something you didn't expect."
/p
Lan Shan was puzzled: "What?"
/p
The old mermaid next to us: "Immortal friend Qi, are you talking about the weather tonight?"
/p
"Old Immortal, as a member of the Merman Tribe, I'm afraid you're the most sensitive to the moisture floating in the air." Prince Yue cupped his hands and bowed solemnly to the old man before saying, "Because my body entered the path of immortality halfway, it's different from ordinary people. There are too many clouds floating in the air. I reckon there'll be a rainstorm tonight. "
/p
The old mermaid shook his beard in satisfaction: "That's right. I've also sensed it. There'll be a heavy rain tonight."
/p
Lan Shan said: "Then what should we do? Why don't we get some materials and build a simple shelter to hide from the rain tonight? "
/p
I opened my eyes wide and wondered what he meant by simple shelter.
/p
The old mermaid slowly shook his head: "It's easy for you snake cultivators. You can just put up two wooden sticks to shelter yourselves. It's also easy for us mermaids. We have rain and water, so we're much happier than living on dry land. But what about the Bao Xiu behind us? They don't like to touch water, but if you give them a few small sticks, I'm afraid they'll get angry. "
/p
Lan Shan stomped his feet in anger: "They're so troublesome!"
/p
The old mermaid: "Young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered. Hurry up and control your fiery temper. If the Bao Xiu and Zhu Qi see it, I'm afraid there'll be another fight. "
/p
Lan Shan suddenly approached the old mermaid and asked: "Old mermaid, do you remember the last time I fought with Zhu Qi?"
/p
The old Murloc had two long and thin white beards, one on the left and the other on the right, hanging on both sides of his face. When he was thinking, he liked to pinch his beards with his fingers. Now that Lan Shan suddenly asked, the fingers that were pinching his beards froze in place. His originally leisurely face was filled with confusion. "What fight? You fought with Zhu Qi? "
/p
Lan Shan laughed: "Look, you don't even remember the fight between Zhu Qi and me. Why do you have to say 'again'?"
/p
The old mermaid was even more confused: "Did I say 'again'?"
/p
"I said it, I said it."
/p
The old mermaid had always looked like a capable old man, but at this moment, he looked dull and dull. It was as if he had aged seventy or eighty years in an instant. He was so old that his brain was in a mess. He muttered, "When did this happen? When did this happen?" Then, he slowly walked back to his tribe. When he passed by me, he accidentally slipped and staggered. I hurriedly reached out and pulled him back, cautiously reminding him, "Be careful."
/p
Although the old mermaid's brain was in a mess, he still said to me: "Thank you."
/p
I watched as the old mermaid trembled as he walked toward the mermaid tribe. When I came back to my senses, I had a complicated look in my eyes. Lan Shan, on the other hand, was different. He laughed out loud and said, "Everything about the Fishmen Tribe is good, but their brains are too muddled. They can never remember things clearly. I just said it and this old man became dizzy."
/p
Prince Yue also laughed along with Lan Shan. I grinned and felt that there was a bitter taste on the tip of my tongue. I couldn't laugh.
/p
Prince Yue hugged me tighter. "I've been here before. When I got lost with my wife, I accidentally wandered here. If I remember correctly, there's a run-down temple not far from here. If it's going to rain later and the road is slippery, why don't we rest here for the night? "
/p
Lan Shan wagged his tail and praised, "Brother Qi, you're a young hero. You're much better than that muddled old man."
/p
Lan Shan went to find the other tribes to discuss the night's rest. I didn't know if it was because Bao Xiu had suffered a loss because of us, but he stayed far behind the group and didn't dare to approach. I watched as Lan Shan left my line of sight. With an unsightly expression, she shrunk further into the Prince of Yue's embrace. The Prince of Yue was most likely happy to have his wife in his arms. However, he wasn't that stupid. For better or for worse, he was able to sense the oppressive aura surrounding me. However, he was in a good mood. Using a cheerful and half-joking tone, he asked, "What's wrong? Who made my Furen unhappy?"
/p
I glared at him: "You're good at flirting."
/p
Prince Yue laughed: "Don't mess around."
/p
I sighed gloomily and said: "From the bottom of my heart, I don't like that snake cultivator Lan Shan, and I don't want to be associated with him."
/p
I deliberately lowered my voice. After all, I was still in the group of snake cultivators, and it was hard to say if there were any spies around. Prince Yue carefully scanned the surroundings with his probing gaze, as if there really was something spying on us in the dark. He took too long, and I couldn't wait any longer: "What's wrong? Are you afraid that the snake cultivator will beat us to death with a stick if I say that?"
/p
Prince Yue finally looked away, and said in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter if they swing their sticks at me, but if they dare to swing it at you, I'll kill them all. I'll open a bloody path and step over their corpses to leave."
/p
I was shocked. It was just a joke, but Prince Yue exposed his hostility towards non-humans so openly.
/p
He slowly said to me: "I don't like that Lan Shan either. I don't like snake cultivators, and I don't like non-humans. However, I can still stay in their group and chat with them."
/p
I gave him a thumbs up and praised from the bottom of my heart: "You're amazing."
/p
Prince Yue said, "Today's appearance is only a show. My disgust will naturally be returned to them one by one."
/p
I asked: "How will you make them pay?"
/p
Prince Yue: "Didn't I tell you before? Non-humans are dirty by nature, and shouldn't have set foot on this land! "
/p
I looked up at the sky and sighed: Husband, you're going to wipe out this entire group!
/p
His heroic words were still lingering in my ears, but my mind suddenly recalled the old fishman's subconscious thanks and that hunched back of his. I couldn't help but defend myself, "Actually, actually, it's just that their appearances are a little bad. There are some who aren't likable like Lan Shan, but there are also some who aren't bad in nature and just want to live a good life."
/p
Prince Yue asked: "You mean that old fishman?"
/p
Prince Yue was still the one who knew me best. I nodded and said: "I think that old man is very good."
/p
Prince Yue lowered his voice and insisted on his opinion: "Those who aren't of our race have different hearts."
/p
I sighed. If there was a conflict between husband and wife, it was better not to make it worse. Thus, I pretended to be deaf and mute and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this. Is there a ruined temple in front? Why don't I remember coming here? "
/p
The omnipotent Prince Yue was right. I didn't know if he had divined it or guessed it, but at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The originally shadowy canopy of the lush forest was now as dark as the night sky of a new moon. I continued, "From the looks of it, it seems like it's really going to rain. Don't tell me that what you said about the ruined temple was nonsense. If you let me get drenched like a drowned rat, I won't forgive you!"
/p
Prince Yue was also happy to talk about the conflict and changed the topic with me: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Look." He raised his hand and pointed.
/p
I looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, there was a ruined temple. The temple seemed to have appeared out of thin air. It was like a young wife who had just entered the house and didn't know the rules. It shyly looked at us through the branches. I was dazed and felt that it was somewhat unreal. I rubbed my eyes and looked again. There really was a ruined temple.
/p
I was stunned: "It's a lie."
/p
"Then, should I bring you in to take a look?"
/p
Suddenly, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, which woke me up from my daze. Prince Yue raised his head and looked at the sky, as if he was looking for the thunder. I pulled his sleeve and urged him: "Listen, it's thunder. Let's go in quickly."
/p
In the large procession, there were also people (not humans) who saw the abrupt ruined temple amidst the messy branches and branches. They entered the temple in an orderly manner, preparing to take shelter from the rain. Prince Yue was still looking up, his fists clenched tighter and tighter. I was worried that he would be traumatized from being struck by lightning, so I directly dragged him into the ruined temple. As we walked, I said, "You're still looking up, you're still looking up. Be careful that a bolt of lightning doesn't have eyes.
/p
I said it in jest, but God loves jest the most.
/p
Boom! A bolt of lightning struck the spot in front of me. I watched as the withered leaves exploded like fireworks in front of me. Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! I jumped up. Luckily, Prince Yue was quick enough to catch me, and I didn't fall to the ground.
/p
I was so angry that I pointed at the sky and scolded: "Where are you aiming?"
/p
This time, a bolt of lightning was about to strike down from the top of my head. Prince Yue promptly took my hand down and pressed my back with his entire chest. I curled up like a shrimp. The sound of thunder piercing my eardrums rumbled above my head, but I only felt a thick and scalding liquid on my neck.
/p
The lightning was aimed at me. Prince Yue used his body as a meat shield for me. [It was originally aimed at the Prince of Yue]/p
/p
I couldn't help but tremble. I carefully maintained my body and didn't dare to sway too much. I was afraid that I would fall to the ground and become a bloody shell. The sticky blood flowed from my chin to the tip of my nose. It reached my lips and left a fishy smell.
/p
A hand with a leather sheath came over and wiped my face clean. The person behind me who used his body to block the lightning was the first to react. I heard him say weakly, "Why is there such an unlucky madam? You can even match something like being struck by lightning. "
/p
I still didn't dare to turn around.
/p
Prince Yue straightened my body and coaxed me gently: "Look at me, I'm fine."
/p
Prince Yue was really fine. His posture was still tall and straight. When I opened my mouth, I felt like crying. I checked him from head to toe. Except for the lightning that struck his back and a few pieces of gray and black cloth, there was not the slightest injury.
/p
Prince Yue said: "Fortunately, I wore a thick leather armor on my back. I was able to survive the lightning strike."
/p
Seeing that he was fine, I felt at ease. However, my mind was filled with anger. I was so angry that I reached out to hit him: "You still dare to talk? You still dare to talk? Wearing such a thick leather armor, were you worried about being struck by lightning or being hit by me? If you continue to act so recklessly, even if you don't die from being struck by lightning, you will be beaten to death by me! "
/p
Prince Yue didn't try to fight back. I could only use less strength. He was puzzled: "What do you mean by recklessly acting recklessly?"
/p
I said: "That lightning strike was aimed at me. Why did you rush forward to seek death?"
/p
The corners of Prince Yue's lips parted as he smiled in satisfaction: "What are you saying? Everyone says that husband and wife share the same body. I have thick skin and thick flesh, and I have experience. No matter what, it's not your turn to suffer this calamity. You are a beautiful and noble princess. If you were injured by lightning, what would happen? "
/p
Just as I was about to retort, Lan Shan excitedly rushed over. The non-humans were half human half beast. Beasts were extremely afraid of the great power that came from the heavens. Therefore, when the non-humans heard the sound of thunder, they were like three year old children who didn't know what was going on and hurriedly hid in the ruined temple. They only dared to come out now that the thunder had stopped.
/p
Lan Shan shook his snake tail and appeared very impatient: "What happened? What happened? That lightning just now was very scary."
/p
My pair of tearful eyes couldn't be hidden, and my throat was hoarse, so it was inconvenient for me to speak. Prince Yue directly made up a story and sold it on the spot: "It's nothing. Just now, a bolt of lightning struck nearby, and it scared my wife."
/p
Lan Shan didn't pay much attention to me. Instead, he put out his snake eyes and looked around vigilantly: "Struck nearby? Then this thunderstorm's power is too great. I have to go in and hide. What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and come in. "
