Bang! Before anyone could react, the Vermilion Bird Princess' fist had already landed on the Pagoda Master's left shoulder.
Crack.
The sound of bones cracking could be heard.
Whoosh! The Pagoda Master turned into a beautiful arc as he streaked across the sky.
Bang.
He landed heavily on the ground and overlapped with the Pagoda Master's disciple who had been sent flying.
However, the Pagoda Master was still the Pagoda Master. That disciple was still grimacing in pain, but the Pagoda Master was already back on his feet.
Thump! Thump!
Thump! The Pagoda Master not only stood up, but he also charged toward the Vermilion Bird Princess.
This action gave even Gu Xuan a fright.
Since when did the Pagoda Master become so unyielding?
The Vermilion Bird Princess had sent him flying before he could even react. The difference in strength between the two was obvious. It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Didn't the Pagoda Master's disciples all have their mouths wide open in shock?
The Pagoda Master still wanted to get back at them?
Did he feel that it was too embarrassing to be sent flying with a single punch, so he wanted to endure two more punches before he was sent flying to regain some dignity?
That couldn't be! That wasn't the Pagoda Master's style! Gu Xuan was confused.
Even the Vermilion Bird Princess looked at the Pagoda Master who was charging toward her with a meaningful look. She seemed to admire the Pagoda Master's stubbornness, disdain, and confusion.
At this moment, the Pagoda Master rushed toward the Vermilion Bird Princess like a gust of wind.
However, the scene where he wanted to get back at her didn't happen.
The Pagoda Master stopped and stood up straight. He raised his hands and bowed respectfully. "This junior is the Pagoda Master of the Seven Star Realm's Pagoda Master. Greetings, Princess Vermilion Bird! This junior was confused and offended you in any way. Please forgive me, Princess Vermilion Bird! "
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It turned out that the Pagoda Master didn't want to get back at her. He just couldn't wait to admit defeat.
"I've often heard from my master that the Vermilion Bird Princess was an invincible existence that swept through the world in ancient times.
Even the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger have to call you little brother when they see you.
Seeing it today, the rumors were indeed true! What's even more unexpected to me is that Your Highness' human form is actually so noble and beautiful. In terms of beauty and temperament, I'm afraid you can't even find one percent of Your Highness in the Three Thousand Worlds! "
The Tower Master praised with sincerity.
Everyone was even more dumbfounded.
As it turned out, he wasn't just here to admit defeat. He couldn't wait to bootlick! Gu Xuan was shocked. He had never imagined that the Tower Master's flattery skills were so high. How had he not noticed it before?
But give up! The Vermilion Bird Princess was the Vermilion Bird! She didn't care whether her human form was beautiful or not!
You're flattering her like this, but you're hitting the nail on the head. Apart from making the Vermilion Bird Princess think that you're a hypocrite, what good will you do?
If he had the time, it would be better for him to heal his shoulder that had caved in and shattered bones first.
However, in the next moment, Gu Xuan knew that he had guessed wrong.
"Hehehehe …" The Vermilion Bird Princess covered her face as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. Her laughter was unprecedentedly hearty, and she appeared to be very happy.
"I'm just casually transforming into a human form. Is it really that beautiful?
If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have known.
Alright, alright, there's no need to bow. Wasn't it just a misunderstanding?
Gu Xuan, what are you still standing there for?
What kind of Alchemy Emperor are you?
The Tower Master is injured, but you're not helping to treat him. You don't have any eyesight at all! "
Gu Xuan's eyes widened.
I'm just trying to flatter you. Do you have to be so agitated? Or do you have to be so smug?
Injured?
Wasn't it you who punched him?
You actually want me to help treat him? He's a Perfected Alchemy Emperor. How can that little injury be considered an injury?
"Your Highness is indeed unparalleled in benevolence! My master always said that in ancient times, Your Highness was the leader of the Divine Beasts, and all the Divine Beasts were sincerely convinced by you. Looking at it now, the rumors are indeed true! I'm willing to follow you, senior, and be your servant … "The Tower Master's face was solemn and loyal. He spoke at least a few hundred words.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Xuan healed the injury on his shoulder.
If this dragged on, with the Tower Master's strength, that little injury would heal on its own.
"Hehehehe …" The Vermilion Bird Princess's laughter was slightly exaggerated.
Of course, this was only what Gu Xuan heard.
To others, it was simply heavenly.
Vermilion Bird feathers, flame runes, and some fire-attribute treasures that were rarely seen in the outside world were all taken out of the Vermilion Bird Princess's spatial ring as if they were free and rewarded to the Tower Master, the elders, and disciples of the Ancient Pagoda lineage.
Even Little Green was lucky enough to get a few Vermilion Bird feathers. It was so happy that it could not close its mouth. It even deliberately showed off in front of Gu Xuan, clearly mocking Gu Xuan for being stingy.
How could Gu Xuan tolerate this?
He immediately snatched the Vermilion Bird feathers from Little Green and kept them in his spatial ring.
Little Green was so angry that it wanted to cry.
Fortunately, Little Bamboo secretly pulled Little Green to the side.
"Don't cry. I have a lot of that stuff here. I'll secretly give you a few later!"
Little Green looked at Gu Xuan with a worried expression.
"Forget it. Don't give it to him for now. He eavesdropped on us.
If you give it to him, he'll most likely snatch it away.
Why did I follow such a boss? Life is difficult! Why don't you help me ask your master if he's still accepting disciples?
I want to abandon the darkness and join the light. I want to join the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect! "
Little Bamboo patted Little Green's shiny green head.
"Don't be silly. The Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect will merge with the Yingtian Sect sooner or later.
The old Sect Master is so worried. He sighs every day and says that he can't keep his disciples. As the Sect Master of the Vermilion Bird Celestial Sect, his heart is with the Yingtian Sect.
Just accept your fate. At most, you can come to me if you feel wronged. I'll comfort you. "
Big drops of tears fell from Little Green's eyes.
"Boohoo, you really know how to comfort people. Thank you!"
On the other side, the Vermilion Bird Princess gave away another ten Vermilion Bird feathers under the Tower Master's flattery.
Gu Xuan could not bear to look at it. He was afraid that the Vermilion Bird Princess would pluck him bald on a whim! After all, the Vermilion Bird feathers grew from her body! "Cough cough, Your Highness, shouldn't we get down to business?
You've observed them for so long. Do you have any new plans to help them preserve their lifespans? "
Gu Xuan reminded her.
Only then did the lively atmosphere ease up a little.
"Yes, yes, yes. I almost forgot about that! Tower Master, don't worry. Since you're willing to follow me, I'll help you with all my strength.
Leave the matter of preserving your lifespans to me! Not to mention preserving all nine hundred thousand years of lifespan, but under the premise of paying a certain price, preserving eighty percent of your lifespan is not a problem at all! "
The Vermilion Bird Princess patted her chest and said heroically.
Gu Xuan was stunned.
That's not what you said outside, right?
You're bought over with just a few words of flattery?
You're willing to pay a certain price to preserve eighty percent of their lifespan?
How many bewitching potions did you drink?
Are you drunk from drinking fake wine?
Gu Xuan wanted to curse.
However, on second thought, if the Tower Master and the others could preserve eighty percent of their lifespan, it would be greatly beneficial to him. If the Vermilion Bird Princess woke up, it would be troublesome.
"In that case, I'll thank Your Highness in advance!"
The Tower Master's face was filled with excitement.
Although that half of the plaque was transforming the world in his palm, who knew how long it would take?
With the help of the Vermilion Bird Princess, they might be able to go out and see the sun of the Burning Sky Realm in a few months.
The price he had to pay was just to flatter the Vermilion Bird Princess. Why not?
"Right, Gu Xuan, get that plaque out. Let me take a look and see if it's as incredible as you said it was."
The Vermilion Bird Princess finally regained some rationality amidst the flattery and remembered the important matter.
Gu Xuan nodded.
"Senior Old Sycamore, please show yourself!"
