Chapter 168 I will pose in whatever way you ask me to!
Chapter 168 I will pose in whatever way you ask me to!
It seemed that every time he came to Yongqing Palace, Li Hong was reviewing memorials.
Just sitting there quietly.
Calm and tranquil.
He looks like a refined and gentle middle-aged man.
today.
Li Hong was still sitting there quietly, still elegant and gentle.
But it seems a lot older.
Ever since that day when he inexplicably caught a cold, he suddenly aged.
"Father!"
"Father!"
"No need to be polite, just sit down!"
Li Hong stroked his beard and chuckled: "You did a great job this time. You took away the firewood from under the cauldron and tore off the fig leaf of the Great Sage Temple."
This competition is very important to the Princess Party and the Prince Party.
But to him, it was just a game, and winning or losing the game would not affect his choice of the crown prince at all.
What he values is content beyond the game.
Just like today.
Although the low-level demon officials rushing to the Immortal City is an unstoppable trend.
However, it is still of great significance to let some evil officials publicly sever ties with the Great Sage Temple.
Today is the opening ceremony of the Great Sage Temple sweeping away the dignity of the evil officials.
The lower-level evil officials fell.
The next target is the demon student who is the backbone of the bloodline.
All I can say is that the actions of these two children really touched his heart.
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Lu Lu was decisive and gave Taoist Kongxu a big advantage. Otherwise, this matter would be really difficult to handle."
When he heard the word "Lu Lu", Li Hong's smile widened.
In fact, he could understand the meaning behind this nickname.
My daughter really needs someone to love her like this.
Although Li Hong was a little weak, he laughed heartily: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Li Xingluo smiled and said, "Father! When we accomplish another great deed for you, it won't be too late for you to reward us."
"Oh?"
Li Hong looked at them with a half-smile: "Have you found the Yayu?"
Li Xingluo exclaimed: "As expected of you, my father. Nothing can be hidden from you!"
The evil students are being suppressed now simply because they have no temple priests to support them.
Even the big monsters outside the field would hardly support them.
Except Yali!
After all, his favorite youngest son is still his old sister-in-law.
With his strength, even if he didn't get the incense from the Great Sage Temple, he was definitely not weaker than the temple priests.
The only concern is his loyalty to the Demon King behind the scenes.
I don’t know if my own price tag can be shaken.
Li Hong thought for a moment, "A wisp of totem energy, plus Hu Huan taking back the demon pill, is that enough to settle in the Xianliang Temple?"
Li Xingluo smiled and said, "I should be sure!"
Li Hong pondered for a moment: "I don't doubt that Yayu has the ability to become a temple priest, but he alone may not be able to influence the decision of the Great Saint Temple. When the time comes, I believe that other temple priests will take the risk and kidnap Hu Huan."
Li Xingluo took a deep breath and said, "Muye has found two more great demons of higher rank. If the benefits are enough, they will probably help."
"Do you have the identity of a demon official?"
"Not yet, but Yali said that they can be said to be his sworn brothers."
"But now at this critical moment..."
Li Hong said in a deep voice: "If they are appointed as demon officials by their father, the demon tribe will definitely reject them, so it is better to use the Great Sage Order. Can you handle Ao Jin's situation?"
Li Xingluo smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Ao Jin was quite envious of the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill on Muye's body, so Muye lied to her and said he could give her one. She should have turned a blind eye to this matter."
I heard the words "Golden Pill of Ten Thousand Demons".
Li Hong's eyes suddenly softened a little.
very good!
At least I don't plan to hide it forever.
He smiled and said, "Since you are sure, then go for it. As for the other two great demons, I will grant them a totem source of Qi each, but the prerequisite is that they obey the imperial court."
"Yes!"
Qin Muye nodded: "I will try my best to persuade them! They are wild and difficult to tame, and they already don't like the evil officials of the Great Saint Temple. It may be difficult to let them continue to serve the court. But if we take out the totem source energy, it will be enough for them to work for a while!"
There are no wild monsters.
They were all puppets he made after hunting ferocious beasts.
Thirteen corpses of ferocious beasts were used to smelt two puppets in total.
no way.
I need to take out their inner elixir and refine it.
The original inner elixir was replaced by the strengthened Hundred Beasts Pill, and it was refined as it was. It could indeed retain nearly 80% of the strength and barely maintain it in the great demon realm.
But their physical conditions are not suitable for their own killing methods and the use of the Ten Thousand Demons Pill.
In addition, there aren't many top-grade Hundred Beast Pills left by Bai Yuji...
So he had to bear the pain and combine thirteen into two to create two real puppets of upper-level demons, whose physical bodies were comparable to his own before he refined the Ten Thousand Demons Pill.
It just so happened that he also wanted to see what the cultivation levels of these temple priests were like.
Li Hong looked at the young couple.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
He acts meticulously and carefully, and his style is yet unconventional, making it impossible to find fault with it.
Only 10% of the work is done on the evil student.
The prestige of the Great Sage Temple among the evil officials has already been half rotten.
Although the evil students entered the Temple of Virtuous and Good, it did not mean that they completely surrendered to the court.
But as long as the court can keep up with the subsequent tactics, it will have a great chance of winning.
Compared to them.
The prince is indeed much inferior.
If it weren't for the bloodline of a divine messenger, Li Xingluo would be his perfect successor.
only……
Why Kaijiang doesn't believe Xingluo at all.
Could it be that its test of will has become so terrifyingly strong?
But Xing Luo is clearly in a very clear mind now!
Li Hong felt somewhat confused, blaming the mysterious disappearance of the consciousness of Taizu's Dharma body, otherwise he would not have been so entangled.
He shook his head.
Put distracting thoughts behind you.
Then he looked at Li Xingluo: "Xingluo, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"Go ahead. If you get the secret method for the eighth high tide of incense, you will succeed!"
"Yes!"
In front of Li Hong, Li Xingluo sat cross-legged on the cushion and activated the secret method to contact the "Supreme God".
Qin Muye saw her close her eyes and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
He did not think that the so-called "God" had the ability to directly cause harm to Li Xingluo.
I even felt that I would definitely win this negotiation.
After all, the Prince's Party and the Princess's Party are in confrontation with each other, and the Princess's Party is stronger. This is the best time to ask for the secret method and let the charlatan "help" her to establish victory.
If those charlatans want to play both sides, they have to give some benefits.
Li Xingluo knew that they had lost on another chessboard, and with her negotiation skills, there was no way she could lose.
But why...
Still feeling a little uneasy?
His eyes were fixed on Li Xingluo's face, never leaving for a moment.
Every time I see her frowning, my heart would feel a little pinched. Only when I see her brows relax, I would feel a little relaxed.
that's it.
A full half hour passed.
Li Xingluo slowly opened his eyes.
Li Hong asked anxiously: "Xingluo, what's wrong?"
Li Xingluo wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission! In ten days, I will be able to go to the Great Sage Temple and let the incense burn again. This time, it will last at least three more years."
"it is good!"
Li Hong was overjoyed. Seeing that Li Xingluo looked pale, he quickly said, "Then you should go back and have a rest, and prepare for ten days later."
Li Xingluo did not stand up, but took out a pen and paper: "Father! Although I have succeeded this time, those madmen have many thoughts, and I am a little worried that I will expose my weaknesses to them.
So I want to write down the conversation word for word, and I need your guidance! "
talking.
He bent over the desk and wrote furiously.
Li Hong felt extremely complicated when he saw this.
Although those lunatics have extraordinary means, their wisdom is actually average, and they are extremely arrogant and conceited.
Given my daughter's personality, how could she easily fall into a trap?
He knew that Li Xingluo was afraid that he didn't believe her.
That's why we had to write down the conversation on the spot.
Because of such a short time, it is difficult to make up a perfect lie.
The purpose of doing this is simply to have complete control over the overall situation and gain more trust in her.
He looked at what Li Xingluo had written, feeling both emotional and distressed. He felt that his daughter was very capable and took the initiative throughout the negotiation, but he also felt sorry for her...
This child has suffered!
a long time.
Li Xingluo closed the booklet and handed it to Li Hong.
After saying a few more auspicious words, he left with the support of Qin Muye.
Li Hong looked at their departing backs, his hands holding the booklet trembling slightly.
I thought that I must have done a lot of evil in my life, which is why I had to face such a dilemma when my body was half buried in the earth.
"Cough cough!"
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Then he clasped his hands and reached under the table.
He wiped it repeatedly with a handkerchief before picking it up again.
Him now.
I don't want to face my own demise.
……
Princess's Mansion.
Li Xingluo staggered a little, and fell into Qin Muye's arms as soon as he entered the room: "Muye, let's go to the bed and lie down for a while, okay? I'm so tired!"
Qin Muye's face tensed, and he quickly put her on the bed and held her in his arms: "Lu Lu, did they do anything to you?"
Li Xingluo was a little tipsy, and snuggled into his arms before humming softly, "They stuffed a small altar into my head, and the consciousness in the altar condensed into a light and shadow, which kept nagging at me, just like the one in the ruins of the gods.
But don't worry, this one is much weaker.
I'll be fine with the help of the little spirit!
The little spirit said that this would be a good opportunity for me to practice.”
"Ok!"
Qin Muye nodded and kissed him on the forehead tenderly.
My brother-in-law must be sure of what he said if he dares to say so.
But how could it be pleasant to keep confronting the altar?
He probably understood that the consciousness in the altar was the consciousness shared by all members of a sect. It served all members, but it could also be said that it enslaved all members.
When drilling into someone's mind, it does not read the target's memory.
Instead, it directly becomes a reflection of one's inner self.
Every sentence will touch upon the most essential needs of the target, thus generating extreme persuasive power.
How can this torture be enough?
Li Xingluo kept laughing: "Muye, do you know what it is saying to me now?"
"what?"
"It said that the person you love most is Yuji. I am just your helpless choice. I am nice to Yuji only to please you."
"nonsense!"
"I don't believe it either! It also said that I treated you as a lifeline, but you can leave at any time."
"Get it out of here!"
"It's so shameless that I can't drive it away no matter what I do, but I don't want to listen to its nagging."
"Let me help you suck it out!"
"But the altar is inside my head. If you suck one out, another will pop out."
Li Xingluo lay on Qin Muye's chest and looked at him with a silly smile: "Muye, can you prove to me every day that you love me very much?"
"how to prove?"
"Help me suck something else..."
"..."
"And... don't pull away."
"..."
Qin Muye looked at her and saw the charming look in her eyes.
Every micro-expression carries extreme temptation.
Yet there seemed to be a hint of pleading hidden somewhere.
She is still an insecure little girl...
……
Great Saint Temple.
Ao Jin is in meditation.
Ever since she reached a cooperation agreement with Qin Muye that day, she has felt much calmer.
When you are free, you can come to the Great Sage Temple to practice.
Although her bloodline is naturally pure, as long as she eats normally and waits for her age to grow, she will be able to reach a height that countless monsters will never reach in their lifetime.
Incense is not a necessity for her.
But it must be something good.
Who can complain about having too many good things?
The Great Sage Temple has been absorbing incense offerings. If it doesn't eat any of them, other temple priests will certainly not leave any for them.
So why give those annoying guys a break?
Everything that belongs to you should be yours.
Sometimes she would think to herself, what if one day the Demon King's Palace occupied the whole world and made all human beings become slaves?
And if I kill all the big and small Qiwu, I will become the real Demon King and monopolize the world's worship. What a happy scene that would be.
Only in this way can we live up to the reputation of the dragon clan.
Unfortunately……
never mind!
Don't think too much about it yet.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Ao Jin opened his eyes: "Come in!"
"Squeak!"
The great ape pushed the door open and walked in: "Crown Princess!"
Ao Jin raised his chin slightly and looked at him indifferently: "Second Temple Master, what happened that you can't solve?"
The great ape didn't know whether he was mocking himself or her: "Now the Crown Princess is in charge of all affairs of the Great Saint Temple, so there is no room for us to handle things."
Ao Jin walked to the chair and sat down, saying calmly: "Second Temple Master, there is no need to belittle yourself. My foster father sent me here to help you. If there is anything you cannot handle, just let me know directly. Don't be like the incident with the demon student. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to resolve it."
Great Ape: “???”
I ridiculed you for being domineering and arbitrary, so why did you take advantage of me?
The dragon clan is indeed as the legend says.
Arrogant and rude!
No evil in sight!
After paying so much incense, I started practicing myself.
This cannot go on.
The big ape was angry in his heart, but he still managed a smile: "Crown Princess, now the human race's affairs are basically unchanging. The prince misses you very much. You two have been childhood sweethearts, so why delay the wedding date and make the prince sad?"
When I think of that gloomy-minded sickly person who thinks I am a piece of cake.
Ao Jin felt annoyed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Second Temple Master is so concerned about something that my foster father didn't even urge. Why? Does Second Temple Master feel that he is about to break through to the Demon King realm and can take over?"
The big ape said in a deep voice: "Crown Princess, please don't put the blame on me! We just think that although the Crown Princess made outstanding contributions in the early days of the establishment of the Demon King Palace, she doesn't understand the human officialdom after all.
Although he was determined to make progress after he arrived, he only used the interests of the Great Sage Temple in exchange for a few seemingly useful strategies.
But in fact, it can only deceive Lord Demon King!
If we had tried our best to stop the lower-level demon officials from entering the Immortal City, the Immortal City would have stopped moving forward. As long as the Immortal City was stillborn, those demon students would not have become restless. "
"Ah……"
Ao Jin sneered: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to say some nonsense that you don't even believe in just to prove that I am incompetent."
She was determined to sell off some of the Demon King Palace's interests.
But it’s too late to sell it now.
I helped these idiots clean up the mess, but ended up being slandered for not handling it properly.
Some are too ridiculous.
This made Long unable to laugh.
The big ape's face turned pale and blue, and he finally said, "We all think that it is useless for the Crown Princess to stay here, it is nothing more than delaying the wedding date. But this delay is meaningless, the Demon King Palace belongs to the Demon King, and it will also belong to the new emperor in the future.
You need to give up your fantasy as soon as possible and honestly use your body and dragon pills to worship..."
"Oh!"
The big ape quickly raised his arms and narrowly blocked Ao Jin's kick.
I only heard the sound of bones breaking like a mountain collapsing.
He groaned and took several steps back before he could barely absorb the force of the kick.
The twisted arms are surrounded by dragon energy.
The pain made him want to scream like a monkey.
He looked at Ao Jin in great shock. He didn't expect that she was just an incarnation and could be so powerful.
Ao Jin looked at him indifferently: "Since you don't understand human language, then I will use the language of the demon tribe to tell you. Now... do you understand?"
Words among the demons.
It's pure power.
The big ape's face was extremely ugly, but under Ao Jin's gaze, he could only lower his head: "I understand!"
Ao Jin walked out slowly. When he reached the door, he looked back at him and said, "Since you understand, let the other temple officials understand!"
Great Ape: “…”
Ao Jin sneered and strode away.
After leaving the Great Sage Temple, he turned into a ray of golden light and flew towards the city.
It only takes a moment.
She returned to the Honglu Temple.
It’s still quiet here.
No more practicing, just reading!
Ao Jin opened the book and read it as usual.
But as she read on, she found that she could not return to her usual mood.
The more I read, the more annoyed I become. The more I read, the more annoyed I become.
At last.
"Oh!"
She closed the book.
I leaned back in my chair and began to feel frustrated.
Just now, she really wanted to kill the giant macaque.
It’s a pity that he can’t be killed!
The Demon King's trusted subordinates may not necessarily become temple priests.
But those who can become temple keeper must be subordinates valued by the Demon King.
Although there is a rule for challenging the temple priest, no demon has ever dared to challenge the Great Sage Temple in the more than 20 years since its establishment.
Killed the big monkey.
It will only make you lose the trust of your adoptive father.
Even if you are stronger than them, you can't really attack them.
Of course you can give it a kick.
But that's it.
Everyone in the Demon King's Palace seemed to be in awe of him, but in fact, they all treated him as an outsider.
Do not!
Not an outsider!
But a tool!
Even if he had made great contributions, he would eventually become the prince's plaything and a tool for others.
Even if she is called "Crown Princess".
Ao Jin knew that from now on, as long as he was willing to please the prince, his say among the demon clan would be even greater than it was now.
But I can gain respect through my own strength.
Why should I please that loser?
She knows.
The source of all this is the foster father who raised me.
She was very angry.
I was angry that although I seemed crazy, I was controlled by my adoptive father everywhere.
Over the years, I haven't found an opportunity to train my own subordinates.
If he really had a fierce subordinate, he would have given the big monkey a good beating today.
In this way, conflicts between subordinates will not escalate to themselves.
trouble!
Is Qin Muye capable of doing this?
It's been so many days, why haven't you sent me any subordinates yet?
Got to find him!
Ao Jin let out a breath and prepared to go to Qin Muye's office.
However, he didn't expect that as soon as he stood up, he sensed three powerful auras slowly approaching.
"Ok?"
She raised her brows and sat down again.
Ten breaths later, there was a knock on the door: "Is Ao Shaoqing here?"
Ao Jin looked slightly pleased: "Brother Yali, please come in!"
"Squeak!"
Yali pushed the door open and walked in, his rugged face full of smiles: "I've heard that your cultivation is getting better and better, but I didn't expect your incarnation to be so strong. I really admire you."
This attitude.
So passionate!
Ao Jin already understood in his mind that Yali had a bad temper and rarely smiled even when facing the Demon King. But today he was so friendly to him, the reason was self-evident.
In fact, she had already vaguely guessed that Qin Muye wanted to invite Yali, but she felt that Yali could not do it alone.
There are some powerful monsters in the wild that are capable of challenging the temple keeper, but there are almost no monsters willing to offend the temple keeper.
But now...
She glanced at the two great monsters behind Yali and smiled: "Brother Yali, thank you for the compliment. These two are..."
Yayu smiled cheerfully: "I met these two when I was traveling. We got to know each other after fighting. Now they are my sworn brothers. Shi Da and Shi Er are twin brothers. They are both very powerful, but they have encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation. They wanted to come to the human dynasty to find some opportunities, but they don't have the status of a demon official. You see..."
Ao Jin directly took out the list of demon officials: "Since you are the brothers of Brother Yali, how can I refuse you? Your true forms are..."
"Demon Devourer!"
"Demon Devourer!"
Tokida and Tokiji answered at the same time.
Ao Jin frowned slightly: "Demon Devourer?"
Yali laughed and said, "I haven't heard of it either! I heard from them that the Devouring Monster is extremely rare. Its true form is just a wisp of black gas. It feeds on other monsters. After devouring them, it can obtain their magic. I am ignorant and this is the first time I have heard of such a monster!"
Ao Jin: “…”
Because there is no such monster.
The two "monster eaters" before them were terribly powerful, no weaker than the temple priests who had the blood of divine beasts.
The mixed auras indeed matched the monster-eating information they compiled.
But the dragon clan’s inherited memory is extremely extensive, and she is very sure that there is no such monster at all!
These two are probably artificial creatures.
Moreover... the aura is so complex, yet it can be refined into one.
She thought of something - the Golden Pill of All Demons.
very good!
Qin Muye, you surprised me!
Ao Jin pretended to be in deep thought, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I figured it out, it is indeed a demon-eating monster! I originally thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true! Nice to meet you, both of you!"
Shi Da: “Nice to meet you!”
Shi Er: “Nice to meet you!”
Yayu was somewhat surprised: "It turns out there is such a thing. Otherwise, we can say that the dragon race is knowledgeable."
Ao Jin: “…”
She couldn't help but secretly praise Qin Muye for doing a great job.
If even Yali doesn't know his position, then he will be safer.
She exchanged a few more words with Yali and quickly completed the registration of Shi Da and Shi Er's identities as demon officials.
Yali was also surprisingly polite and thanked repeatedly before leaving.
"Oh!"
The door is closed.
next moment.
A mist appeared out of nowhere.
It immediately solidified into a human form.
Qin Muye poured himself a cup of tea: "Ao Shaoqing, this is a gift for your men. Do you like it?"
Ao Jin naturally liked it.
But she felt that if she showed it, she would appear unnoble.
So he nodded calmly: "Not bad, you are lucky to have found two Devouring Monsters."
Qin Muye curled his lips.
Monster-eater?
Eat a hammer!
When he saw Ao Jin's reaction just now, he knew that she had decided to endorse his puppet identity.
After all, the dragon clan is knowledgeable and experienced, so even if they make up stories, they will be quite convincing.
But this little female dragon is really proud.
This cooperation was entirely due to my own efforts. I have accomplished two big things, but she still behaves so coldly.
He slapped the table and said, "Actually, these two brothers are a bit disobedient..."
Ao Jin's expression tightened: "I need two obedient subordinates!"
"Be obedient..."
Qin Muye looked at her with a half-smile, and when he saw that she was a little restless, he smiled and said, "What do you mean by obedient? How about helping you beat up those temple priests who made you angry?"
Ao Jin: “…”
Her heart beat inexplicably faster.
He quickly suppressed his anger and said, "Of course I will. Then I'll have to trouble Sir Qin to help me find subordinates."
Qin Muye sat on the table and looked her up and down: "You have two more subordinates who obey you, but my subordinates still treat me coldly all day long. Ao Shaoqing, what do you think we should do?"
Ao Jin was puzzled: "Which of your subordinates is disobedient?"
Qin Muye didn't answer, just looked at her.
Ao Jin: “…”
Then she suddenly remembered.
He is the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, and Qin Muye in front of him is his immediate superior.
This damn humiliation.
Why are you here again?
But unfortunately, I am not in a good position to refuse now.
Otherwise, he would just have two more disobedient temple keeper subordinates.
She took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "How does Lord Qin want his subordinates to obey you?"
Qin Muye: "You should have seen my album last time. I am interested in dragons..."
"There is absolutely no such possibility!"
Ao Jin's expression was tense. This bastard actually wanted to do the same thing as in the painting to him?
Qin Muye looked at her speechlessly and said, "I said that I am very interested in painting dragons, but I can't draw the charm of dragons without seeing them often, so I want you to show me the charm of dragons and let me draw one. I won't ask for nothing. I can give you the painting I draw."
"..."
Ao Jin was silent for a long time: "So this is what you want to do."
Qin Muye asked back: "What else do you think I want to do? Do you think I have any improper thoughts about you?"
Ao Jin's emotions were a little incoherent.
how?
Am I not worthy of your extravagant thoughts?
She was a little angry, but she knew she shouldn't be angry. After struggling for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Then you draw it!"
"Okay! Take off your clothes!"
"???"
"I said that you should show off your dragon armor, that's how you can be called a dragon."
"..."
Qin Muye casually set up his drawing board.
of course.
This is not because of lust.
But if you want to control such an arrogant and powerful person, you must shatter her self-esteem.
Ao Jin's face looked a little ugly, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
The dragon armor battle suit was made from her own scales.
It is indeed a million times more noble than the clothes worn by humans.
Can……
Take it off?
She gritted her teeth and said, "Can I not take it off?"
Qin Muye frowned and said, "You are in human form now, and you are wearing the official uniform of the human race. Is there any difference between drawing you and drawing ordinary people?"
Ao Jin: “…”
Qin Muye urged, "Hurry up, you have to believe in the integrity of an artist! After taking off your clothes, strike a few poses, and then you'll be done when you're done."
"Conduct?"
Ao Jin looked at his crossed legs and said, "Are you sure it's Shou you want to fuck?"
Qin Muye: “…”
He felt that Ao Jin's eyes were extremely dangerous.
It's not a look that wants to kill someone, it's a look that wants to beat someone to death.
That's what makes it scary.
broken!
Get rid of it!
It seems that I have underestimated the self-esteem of the dragon clan.
He was a little flustered and stood up quickly: "Well, it didn't say that I had to paint today. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'm leaving now!"
Ao Jin blocked the door and sealed the entire room with a formation: "You want to leave?"
"..."
Qin Muye laughed awkwardly: "I was just kidding, hahahaha... Ao Shaoqing, send them all, buddy, don't be so funny."
Ao Jin: "I'll take it off!"
Qin Muye: "Ah?"
