Chapter 103 Armor Hero Li Xingluo: Qin Muye has a crush on me!
"Little, little spirit, save me! I don't want to die..."

After Li Xingluo said this, he fainted.

Just now she had a fierce competition with Taijun Jian.

This determination is externalized as sword energy.

But it is actually a person's willpower.

Once lost, both the body and the mind will suffer great trauma.

Li Xingluo persisted for five full days, and her physical and mental strength had reached the limit, but at this moment, her memory emerged.

In the eyes of outsiders, Di Ji is the most outstanding talent among the younger generation.

This is also the case in Li Hong's eyes.

But Li Xingluo knew very well that there was cowardice hidden deep in his personality.

And this cowardice comes from this memory.

Her mother was killed by her father.

Her brother died a violent death, which was most likely related to Pu Mingzhu.

The former she was sure of.

She was not so sure about the latter.

But she knew that Pu Mingzhu was a great master, and definitely not the bottom kind. Such a person would have been at least a peak fourth-grade master in those days. But even such a peak fourth-grade master did not stand in front of the mother and daughter when they were in the most dangerous time.

It is said that he was hiding in the underground palace to protect the young prince.

But she left the underground palace and brought Li Zhiyi's body back to beg for mercy.

Li Xingluo had no idea what happened next because that was all she could remember.

after that.

She really started to remember things.

From that day on, she began to enjoy Li Hong's doting.

Among so many princes and princesses, she was the only one who could enter the imperial study at will when Li Hong was handling official business.

No matter how busy Li Hong was, he would pick her up and cheer her up, and even carry her on his back as a horse, as if he was making up to his daughter for all his love and guilt for Pu Wanjun.

He is also the only one who was taught personally by Li Hong from childhood to adulthood.

Even the newly appointed Crown Prince Li Zhixuan did not enjoy the same treatment until three months after his appointment.

Later, when I grew up a little.

Li Hong even went against the majority's opinion and allowed her to set up her own government, and the power in his hands was no less than that of Li Zhixuan.

She knew it.

Li Hong loves his daughter.

It's impossible to hide that look.

but……

She was also very sure that Li Hong loved Pu Wanjun to the core.

With Li Hong's methods, it was too easy to create the illusion that the queen was killed.

But he still chose to stage a big drama, so that Pu Wanjun would think that her husband had no ill feelings towards her at the moment before her death, and died in the happiest way.

Even the wound on Li Hong's right chest has not healed yet, causing the once strong and talented emperor to become a sickly person for more than ten years.

Love?

Of course love.

But...is it useful?

Li Xingluo didn't know why his mother had to die, why Pu Mingzhu offered Li Zhiyi's body, and why he was able to survive.

She tried to check the identity of her mother's family, but couldn't find anything useful. She only knew that the Pu family was a merchant family and had contributed a lot of financial resources when Li Hong seized the throne.

The old patriarch had only one daughter, Pu Wanjun. Not long after he married his daughter to Li Hong, who was still a vassal king at the time, he passed away.

Only an only daughter and two retainers were left, one was Pu Mingzhu and the other was Pu Minglong, who were siblings.

Pu Minglong made some contributions to Li Hong and enjoyed wealth and glory, but later he became obsessed with the fox of Qingqiu family and died of excessive drug use.

Pu Mingzhu was always by Pu Wanjun's side, taking care of her and never leaving her alone.

These are things that everyone knows, and there is no trick to be found.

She had too many questions in her mind.

There are so many doubts that even if she is favored by the emperor, she will suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, huddled in the quilt and hug herself until dawn.

Even though Pu Mingzhu treated her like a loyal servant and a foster mother, he did not dare to indulge himself in feeling the affection of family members, let alone let her protect him at the critical moment.

Determined.

The need to move forward.

But she was looking ahead and behind.

So from the very beginning, she knew that there was a high probability that she would fail in this breakthrough.

But I didn't expect that I would fail so badly.

She could feel that although her body seemed fine, it was actually covered with scars left by tiny sword energy.

However, his will was found to have a breakthrough and was pierced with holes, with a tendency to disintegrate.

This could potentially be fatal.

But she was no longer able to change the situation and could only place all her hopes on the little spirit.

Because it is a relic left by my mother.

This was the only living being she could fully trust.

I hope... I don't have to die!
This was Li Xingluo’s last thought before he fell into a coma.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Xingluo coughed weakly, she struggled to stand up and spat out the stagnant blood.

My head was dizzy and my spirit was very weak, but all the hidden dangers had been repaired.

Although his body was still seriously injured, his internal organs were not seriously damaged.

She quickly took out a pill and swallowed it, and the feeling of dying slowly subsided.

"Little spirit?"

She tried calling out.

The jade pendant on her chest flickered dimly: "Don't call me, I'm tired!"

Li Xingluo smiled: "Thank you."

"Don't say thank you too much. Every time you say thank you, it takes half my life away."

Little Spirit was a little dissatisfied: "Don't take advantage of your mother's kindness to me and blackmail me!"

Li Xingluo pondered for a moment: "My mother...what favor did she give you? Can you tell me about the past?"

The little spirit was silent for a while, confused and irritable: "Didn't I tell you that my original body is a reading jade, and it is difficult to retain other memories except the knowledge I have learned. I beg you, don't do stupid things in the future, just let me read quietly, okay?"

Li Xingluo had no choice but to nod: "Okay, okay..."

As soon as the little spirit heard it, he knew that she didn't take it to heart at all, so he could only say irritably: "You are using too much energy now, go eat something quickly."

"Ok!"

Li Xingluo struggled to stand up and staggered out of the training room.

open the door.

The stars are brilliant.

She took a deep breath of the cold winter air and felt much more awake.

She tightened her bloodstained clothes and called a maid who was on night watch: "Where is Madam Pu?"

The maid quickly said, "My lady, Aunt Pu has gone to Kunjing Palace to accompany the queen to celebrate the New Year."

"Staying up to the New Year?"

Li Xingluo hugged his arms tightly, it was already New Year's Eve.

She looked up at the stars in the sky.

It is already past midnight, to be more precise it is already the first day of the Lunar New Year.

At this time in the past, I was keeping vigil with my father and Aunt Pu for my deceased mother.

I was absent today.

She pursed her lips, wondering whether she should rush to the palace now.

But now she has not yet escaped from the shadow of that memory, and really doesn't want to see Li Hong and Pu Mingzhu.

For a moment, she was a little confused.

The maid said cautiously, "Princess Di! Shall I ask the kitchen to cook for you?"

"Ok!"

Li Xingluo nodded, but quickly stopped her: "No need! Go to the cold storage and bring over that box of cakes."

"Yes!"

The maid quickly responded and left quickly.

Li Xingluo looked around, but didn't want to stay in any room, so he brought a ladder and climbed onto the roof of the practice room.

Looking up at the stars and the moon in the sky, I wonder what I am thinking.

After a while, the maid climbed up with the gift box, helped Li Xingluo open it, and then went down the ladder.

Li Xingluo picked up a piece of cake and put it to his nose and smelled it.

It's soft and fluffy, and full of fragrance, as if it was just made.

She shook her head and smiled, thinking that Qin Muye's life had indeed become a lot more luxurious after he became rich. Even the boxes containing pastries were covered with talisman paper to keep them fresh.

But this pastry is really good, although the workmanship is a bit rough and not as exquisite as those famous pastries.

But in terms of aroma, it is no worse than those famous pastry shops.

In addition, it was made by Qin Muye himself, so it contained a lot of sincerity.

I don’t know whether he wants to win people’s hearts or if it is just his nature.

Li Xingluo prefers the latter.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about it because she was also very hungry.

Without paying any attention to his image, he just threw the whole piece into his mouth.

Fresh, fragrant and soft, quite good.

But it's just an average level...

wait wait wait!

Li Xingluo suddenly discovered that this pastry had a filling. The paste-like filling was soft and sweet, and it tickled his taste buds like crazy.

So sweet!

Sweets seem to be able to cure all unhappiness.

But tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

This pastry was made by him and her together.

I am really a little envious of Bai Yuji. Her life is much more miserable than mine, but she still managed to meet someone who would risk his life for her.

“Is it unpalatable?”

"Ok?"

Li Xingluo discovered that the voice came from his mind, and it was the voice of the little spirit.

She thought to herself, "It's not bad!"

"It's not bad, why are you crying?"

“It’s so sweet!”

"Sweet...what does it taste like?"

"Sweet is..."

Li Xingluo didn't know how to explain what sweetness was to a spirit. He thought for a long time before saying, "Sweetness is a taste that makes people feel happy."

"Oh……"

The little spirit thought about it and said with some regret: "I can't understand it."

Li Xingluo suddenly had an idea: "Little spirit, do you want to taste what sweetness tastes like?"

"I don't have a physical body, how can I taste it?"

"You can have a physical body!"

"Possession? That's too evil. It will pollute my essence."

"What about the puppet?"

"puppet?"

The little spirit thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the only puppet with a physical body is a corpse puppet. The taste buds of a corpse puppet have already decayed. Can it taste anything?"

Li Xingluo said quickly: "There is a puppet master in my house. He said that if he is given more time, theoretically he can use flesh and blood to create a body that can truly accommodate the soul.

Although such a body could not possibly be strong, it would not be much different from a living body.

At that time, you can sell it to those wealthy people who are seriously ill but not mentally impaired, and make a lot of money.

Do you want it?"

"You want to...?"

"Why do you seem not very excited?"

"Why are you so excited?"

The little spirit asked back: "The physical body can certainly provide some good experiences, but it brings more pain. I want to have a physical body just to help me understand some unimportant contents in books, which are not worth getting excited about."

Li Xingluo could only nod: "Okay, I'll ask for you when I have time."

"Well! You eat, I'm going to sleep."

"it is good!"

Li Xingluo let out a sigh of relief and continued eating his cake.

Piece after piece.

She felt that the true energy in her body had increased slightly again.

Is it enough to just... satisfy your own desires?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Why can Bai Yuji have it?

But I don’t?

"no!"

Li Xingluo shuddered, knowing that the totem source energy was tempting him to take another path to become a master.

She failed in this breakthrough and knew very well that the road ahead would be difficult.

But she still didn't want to be a waste dominated by desire.

"Boom!"

She quickly closed the lid of the box and silently recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra.

After a long while, her heart slowly calmed down.

"call……"

Li Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take a rest first. She was still energetic after just waking up from being in a coma for such a long time.

But I wasn't in the mood to practice qigong to heal my wounds, and I didn't know how to relieve my boredom.

This New Year's Eve seems particularly lonely.

Ok?
She suddenly frowned because there seemed to be a faint sound coming from the southeast corner of the Princess's Mansion.

Southeast corner?
Isn’t that the warehouse where Taoist Kongxu develops new weapons?

It’s New Year’s Day, and he still has the energy to do these?
It’s a good time to go and express condolences.

By the way, please ask the little spirit if there is any progress on the living puppet.

...Eastern Palace.

Li Zhixuan did not fall asleep, but paced back and forth.

Just two hours ago, he had New Year's Eve dinner with Li Hong. All the princes and princesses were there, except Li Xingluo.

The third prince asked.

As a result, Li Hong said that Li Xingluo had been in seclusion to break through to the Grandmaster level, which shocked everyone present.

I just turned eighteen.

Retreat to reach the Grandmaster level?
Is this human language?
Why does it sound so strange?

Li Zhixuan admitted that he panicked.

Although Shen Kui had been very close to him during this period, and the two of them had joined forces to criticize the Princess's party, they had barely washed away the shadow of the imperial examinations of all races some time ago, and it looked like the Prince's party was going to win a great victory.

But in fact, it is all lip service.

The Princess Party was just badly criticized, but they did not suffer much actual loss.

If she were to break through to Grandmaster level again...

The youngest grandmaster in history!
Am I still alive?

How could Li Zhixuan not be anxious?

at this time.

A man in black came running over quickly: "Your Highness! Pu Mingzhu has gone to Kunjing Palace to celebrate the New Year's Eve."

Li Zhixuan quickly asked, "Is Li Xingluo with her?"

"no!"

The man in black shook his head: "There is only Pu Mingzhu."

Li Zhixuan: "..."

No!

You are really in seclusion!
You won't let me sleep, right?

Li Zhixuan impatiently asked the person to leave, while he sat on the chair and kept drinking tea.

About half an hour passed.

Another man in black came running over: "Your Highness! The princess has come out of confinement!"

"Out of isolation!?"

Li Zhixuan stood up with a bang: "She, she, she, she, has she made a breakthrough?"

The man in black shook his head: "There is no sign of a breakthrough to the Grandmaster level, and he is seriously injured."

"How heavy is it?"

"I didn't dare to get too close, so I couldn't see clearly. But she had to hold on to the ladder when going up and down the roof, and she didn't dare to jump at all."

"good good good good……"

Li Zhixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good that I haven’t broken through to the Grandmaster level.

Otherwise the pressure will be too great.

He finally smiled and waved his hand to let the man in black go down.

at this time.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind the screen: "Xuan'er! Since she is seriously injured and the strongest master Pu Mingzhu is not here, why not..."

"Mother, Queen Mother!"

Li Zhixuan was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "My father said that Li Xingluo is the sharp blade that cuts off the thorns for me. If it breaks, I will be the one who suffers!"

The queen behind the screen sneered: "Are you serious?"

"I...I think it should be true."

"Then your father's vigil for that bitch every year is false?"

"This……"

"Anyone can be your sword that cuts through thorns, but this is the only sword that can cut you as well!"

"!!!"

Li Zhixuan's pupils trembled. After struggling for a long time, he finally nodded: "Mother! I understand!"

……

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Sir, are you there?"

Li Xingluo knocked on the door, even though Taoist Kongxu had said that he could enter the warehouse at any time without his permission.

But she felt that she should still give respect to the superiors.

A voice soon came from the other side of the door: "Yes! Princess, please come in!"

"Squeak!"

Only then did Li Xingluo push the door open and walk in.

After entering the soundproofing array, the noise entering my ears suddenly became louder.

Dozens of puppets were seen busy at work, while the sky was densely populated with small combat flying boats covered with array patterns, casting small spells one after another, making the black iron ground buzz.

Li Xingluo was a little surprised. Although the combat flying boat had been able to be placed on the attack formation a few days ago, the flying boat was extremely unstable every time a spell was released at that time.

As a result, in less than a few days, it has stabilized to this level.

She walked over to the fourth-grade puppet who was observing the overall situation and said, "Sir, aren't you going to spend New Year's Eve with your family?"

The puppet complained bitterly: "My wife is obsessed with money. She said that making money depends on luck. I have to make more money while I can. Otherwise, the sponsor will not want me anymore and I won't have a chance to cry!"

Li Xingluo laughed dumbly: "Sir, with such a talent, you will be rich and powerful in your life, how could you be short of money?"

The puppet did not continue the topic, but looked at Li Xingluo's bloodstained clothes: "Princess Di, what are you doing..."

"Oh!"

Li Xingluo said indifferently: "I was in seclusion a few days ago to strive for the Grandmaster realm, but I just failed and came out of seclusion, and I suffered some minor injuries."

puppet:"……"

This is not a minor injury!

No?

Your mental state is so unstable, why do you choose this time to challenge the Grandmaster?

Don’t you want to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
He felt more and more that there was something wrong with Li Xingluo's heart, but he couldn't guess what it was.

Li Xingluo looked up at the flying boat and said, "Sir! Can we hand over this flying boat to our father?"

"Ok!"

The puppet nodded: "But it's best not to hand it in right away."

Li Xingluo raised his eyebrows: "Sir, what you mean is..."

The puppet said in a deep voice: "I have heard about some of the things going on in the court recently. I always feel that your situation is not that safe. If there is any progress, report it to His Majesty. We have too few trump cards in our hands. It is better to hide and continue to defraud funds, and then prepare some real trump cards for you."

Li Xingluo raised a smile and thought to himself that this person really thought the same as he did.

She didn't comment, but just asked with a smile: "Sir, what do you think the new trump card should be?"

The puppet thought about it, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, Princess, let me ask you a question."

"Speaking!"

"Is there something in this world that has a large enough reserve, is cheap enough, and has a high concentration of spiritual energy?"

"This……"

Li Xingluo was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was making fun of him. How could such a thing exist in this world?

Just about to answer.

Suddenly, the voice of the little spirit sounded in my mind.

Her eyes lit up: "Yes, there is, but the spiritual energy is very violent, and no living creature or formation can make use of it. Is this okay?"

The puppet was immediately delighted: "Of course, what is this?"

Li Xingluo thought for a moment: "I can't get in touch with him for now, but I can try to find an opportunity next year..."

"careful!"

The two of them shouted in surprise at the same time, and a phantom shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the warehouse.

The shadow opened up and instantly turned into a huge black bat, rushing straight towards Li Xingluo.

Li Xingluo quickly drew out her sword and prepared to meet the enemy, but her arms felt as if they were pierced by millions of steel needles, the pain making her sweat all over.

Her expression suddenly changed drastically.

I didn't expect that someone could find me at my weakest moment and assassinate me!

Who is so brave!

She suddenly felt something was very bad. Not only was she seriously injured, but the true energy in her body was also terribly thin. Even the little spirit had consumed a lot of energy in healing her.

The Netherworld Bat in front of him was probably already half a step away from becoming a great demon, with both excellent attack and bat poison.

In my current state, even if I only get hit by one bite, I'm afraid...

"Don't be afraid, Princess!"

The puppet let out a low cry, and then its metal shell suddenly opened and was put on Li Xingluo like a piece of clothing, wrapping her tightly.

Li Xingluo was immediately delighted, he almost forgot that the puppet had this function.

This was specially made for the sickly Qin Muye. In the words of Taoist Kongxu, the weak must be given a chance to be an armored warrior. This all-round protection is very suitable for the weak with low cultivation.

Unexpectedly, I would use it on myself at this moment.

Although there are not many top masters in the Princess Palace at this time, as long as the Nether Bat is held back, it is only a matter of time before rescue is called.

"Princess Emperor, can you lend me your sword?"

The puppet snatched Li Xingluo's sword, first slashed the warehouse door with one sword, and then suddenly jumped up to meet the enemy.

At the same time, all the low-quality working puppets in the warehouse swarmed in.

However, their quality was so poor that they could only block for a moment before being blown into pieces by the bat wings.

But that's enough.

The puppet's swordsmanship was sharp, and the dense sword energy instantly formed a net of heaven and earth, heading towards the Netherworld Bat Net.

The Nether Bat's eyes were cold, and it obviously didn't expect that this puppet could be so protective. It originally had countless ways to kill Li Xingluo, but now it had to defeat the armored puppet before the reinforcements arrived!
Ok?
wrong!

The Nether Bat's mouth suddenly cracked into a hideous smile.

The next moment, the huge bat wings wrapped the body tightly, and the patterns on the body became bright.

There was only a series of metallic trembling sounds, and the sword energy was actually taken in.

At the same time, black fog surged out and turned into dense black bats rushing towards the armor.

In just a moment, it was submerged like a vast ocean.

"Buzz!"

The armored puppet's body shone brightly, and facing this violent attack, the protective array pattern was instantly pulled to the maximum level.

He began to frantically extract the spiritual energy from the spirit stone. It only took three breaths of time for most of the spiritual energy in the main spirit stone to be extracted.

And the spare spirit stone... is only one!
"broken!"

"broken!"

Li Xingluo's heart skipped a beat. The Nether Bat in front of him must have done a lot of homework, and he actually found a way to break the impasse in an instant.

Normally, there are not many masters in the Princess's Mansion, because her cultivation is very high and there is a master-level master like Pu Mingzhu in charge.

It happened to be New Year's Eve, so there was only a team of fourth-rank guards in the mansion.

It would be fine if I were still in seclusion now, because there is a large formation guarding the seclusion, and it would not be easy to break through.

But now...

The armor puppet's spiritual energy was about to be sucked dry. With the strength of those fourth-grade guards, they could not stop this peak fourth-grade Nether Bat.

Li Xingluo felt a little regretful and secretly hated himself for being controlled by his emotions and not healing his wounds immediately after waking up!

no solution anymore!

Fight for your life!
She bit the tip of her tongue, ready to use her life-threatening secret method.

But at this moment.

A mysterious wave rippled from the armor.

next moment.

Star bright!
The seven stars refracted, and the space suddenly twisted.

In just a moment, the armored puppet disappeared in the sea of ​​bats, and appeared again behind the Netherworld.

Li Xingluo: “!!!”

The highest level of Seven Star Steps.

Only a grandmaster, or someone who is just one step away from becoming a grandmaster, can perform this skill!
It turns out that Taoist Master Kongxu’s cultivation is not inferior to his own!

Can……

Armor puppets already have heavy consumption, how can they withstand such high-level magic?
I’m afraid he can’t even swing three swords now?
And the Nether Bat is now in a state of complete defense.

I am afraid……

and many more!

"Puch!"

The long sword pierced through somewhere on the bat's wing and went straight into the heart of the Nether Bat.

The Nether Bat didn't react at all and fell to the ground with a scream.

Li Xingluo: “???”

She saw clearly that there was only a thin layer of membrane on that bat wing.

There is only such a small spot, it must be that this Nether Bat had suffered serious damage before.

but……

All this cannot be seen from the outside!
Even if my perception is so sharp, it is impossible for me to notice these!
But Taoist Kongxu stabbed directly without hesitation, almost instinctively.

This inexplicably strong sense of flaws made Li Xingluo think of someone.

Qin Muye!
Could Qin Muye be Taoist Priest Kongxu?
What is he lurking about for?
Have a crush on me?
Wait...it's a bit messy!

"Crash!"

The armor disintegrated, transforming back into the puppet it was originally.

The puppet breathed a sigh of relief: "That was a close call! He almost succeeded!"

Li Xingluo: “…”

puppet:"……"

broken!

I was pushed into a corner just now and some of my true colors were exposed.

Now is not the time to show your bottom!

He quickly picked up the dying Nether Bat and gave it a big blow on the head: "Little Bat! We meet again! You said your injury is not healed yet, why are you here pretending?"

Nether Bat: “???”

No?

Do we know each other?
Its heart was already broken, and after being hit hard again, it could no longer bear it.

His head tilted.

died.

The puppet turned to look at Li Xingluo: "When I was young, I met it while traveling with my master. My master beat it so hard that it ran away. I didn't expect the wound is still there. I won the bet!"

Li Xingluo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "So that's it!"

puppet:"……"

Don't you disbelieve it!
