The Blood God Stone Pendant and the Black Death Fungal Armor

Hiding one's talents?

Xu Primordial Spirit was slightly strange as he glanced at the woman in purple gauze and her full, pert breasts.

If Bai Muxi also conceals her talents like Li Qingyan, then the scale of this development is truly unimaginable.

Just kidding.

Composing himself, Xu Yuan stood by and watched the scene unfold, making no attempt to stop Li Qingyan.

Watching women fight is the most interesting thing.

Of course, this is on the premise that he is not implicated.

But what is this show all about?

A domineering wife disciplines a submissive maid who doesn't follow the rules?

The problem is that he and Bai Muxi are completely Qingqing; all he did before was tap his chest, rub his head, and pinch his cheek.

Moreover, Xu Yuan didn't think Li Qingyan would make such a fuss over him flirting with a maid.

Before Beifeng City fell, he and Li Yunqing went to a brothel together, and she didn't say anything.

so.

Is Li Qingyan referring to Li Xing's matter?

Seeing Bai Muxi Bai Muxi against the wall by the princess, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with interest.

Looking back, Bai Muxi's timing in speaking was somewhat strange.

Before she spoke, the atmosphere inside the stone hall was already quite clear, even distinctly divided.

Four high-ranking officials in the Underground City,

Zi Sha Simin pledged her loyalty, Qin Yuan Yi Kui were taken in as dogs, Li Xing was already isolated and just short of being beheaded.

Anyone with a discerning eye should know what Xu Yuan is planning to do.

To divide and rule subordinates.

An obedient dog will not only get bones, but also meat.

Those who don't obey won't even get a scrap.

But in this clear situation, Bai Muxi made a choice that she knew could not possibly lead to anything.

She asked for a bone for the only unruly dog on the field.

It's nothing really.

Whether in his past life or this one, in Xu Yuan's memory, Bai Muxi was a quiet and gentle person, and sometimes he could even see a few Xu Xinyao's temperament in her.

Therefore, he did not think too deeply about Bai Muxi's actions in seeking Cultivation Method for Li Xing.

After all, according to the original terms of the deal, he was indeed required to give Li Xing the Cultivation Method.

But later, Bai Muxi, who had pleaded for Li Xing, remained silent when Qin Yuan took action.

There was a gap of more than ten breaths between when Li Xing was ambushed by Qin Yuan and when he was completely burned to a crisp by Qin Yuan's black flames.

If Xu Yuan orders a halt, Li Xing will be severely injured, but with the vitality of Grandmaster, he can certainly survive.

However, Bai Muxi did not plead for him again. She simply watched from the sidelines, coldly observing as Li Xing was burned to a crisp in agony.

Therefore, her words were meant to draw his attention to Li Xing.

In the silent passageway,

Xu Yuan slowly walked between the two women, raised his hand and patted Li Qingyan Bai Muxi's, signaling her to put it down.

Li Qingyan was pinching Bai Muxi, and sickly red marks had already appeared on her fair and smooth neck:

"What, are you feeling sorry for him?"

Xu Yuan glanced at the princess, his tone somewhat helpless:

"Smart women pretend they're not smart. Can't you learn from them?"

Li Qingyan casually tossed Bai Muxi aside, glanced at her on the ground, and turned back to say indifferently:

"I am Li Qingyan."

"."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at the self-righteous woman, then turned to look at Bai Muxi, who was lying pitifully on the ground.

"Cough cough. Hah."

Bai Muxi collapsed to the ground, rubbing her neck and letting out a deliberately suppressed cough. "Young Master."

"Shut up."

Bai Muxi shut up.

Kneeling down in front of her, Xu Yuan looked at her delicate face and asked:

"You want to kill Li Xing?"

"..." Bai Muxi's delicate movements faltered.

"If you still choose to lie at this point, you're not smart, you're stupid."

After a few moments of silence, Bai Muxi lowered her hand from massaging her neck, slowly raised her eyes, and said softly:

"Yes, Mu Xi did want to kill him."

Xu Yuan pondered and stroked his chin:

"Why?"

Bai Muxi's eyes curved into a smile, her voice clear and crisp:

"Because he had inappropriate thoughts about Mu Xi and was very controlling."

Xu Yuan chuckled wryly and said:

"That's it? What does that have to do with me?"

Bai Muxi slumped forward slightly, kneeling on the ground, her hands resting on her ample thighs, her bright eyes fixed on the man before her:

"Mu Xi has entrusted everything to Young Master, whether it be her cultivation, her life, or even her still-decent body. If anyone covets what Young Master has, Mu Xi will naturally eliminate them."

"Haha, what a great thing to say!"

Xu Yuan chuckled softly, glanced at Li Qingyan beside him, and asked with a smile:

"Your Highness, would you mind if I took in a maid?"

Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes smiled:

"I don't mind being inside this Underground Palace. You are the commander-in-chief, and I will follow your decisions."

"Is it part of the plan?"

Xu Yuan murmured to himself, shook his head in disbelief, then turned to look at Bai Muxi in front of him and chuckled:

"Your words touched me somewhat, but it's not enough."

"Not enough?" Bai Muxi's expression flashed with surprise at just the right moment.

Xu Yuan waved his finger in front of her eyes, then pointed to himself:

"I've already stated my attitude towards my subordinates: as long as they're useful, I'll use them even if they hate me to the core. You shouldn't misunderstand."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan's voice turned colder:

"Tell me the real reason."

After a moment of silence, Bai Muxi exhaled, her eyes calm.

"Mu Xi really can't hide anything from you, young master. If I had to say, it's because of Li Xing's personality."

"Li Xing has been very competitive since he was a child. He likes to compete and fight, and he likes to compare himself with others. He also likes to sulk after he loses. Because of this personality, the Seven Cities Alliance has paid a heavy price."

"For the sake of the people of the Underground City's survival, he will most likely choose to compromise, but given his personality, there is also the possibility that he will not compromise."

"So."

A smile flickered in Xu Yuan's narrow eyes, "So you used my words to trick Qin Yuan into killing Li Xing directly?"

After spending a short time together, Xu Yuan gained a general understanding of the personalities of the group.

Qin Yuan needs no introduction; he is a ruthless person whose rationality borders on cold-bloodedness.

Yi Kui is somewhat inferior; she is not resilient and when faced with despair, she will simply give up, indulging in carnal pleasures without taking any risks.

Xu Yuan was able to discern these things in a short time.

As the highest authority in the Underground City, and having worked with the three for decades, Bai Muxi undoubtedly knows them better than he does.

"Um."

Bai Muxi did not deny it, her voice soft and gentle:

"Qin Yuan is an extremely rational person. With you, young master, all we need to do is provide him with a pretext, and he will absolutely not allow Li Xing, this variable, to continue living."

Xu Yuan's gaze towards Bai Muxi became slightly excited, as if he were looking at a treasure:

"And at the same time, he can hide himself well?"

"Those in positions of power generally dislike women around them who are too scheming."

Bai Muxi's voice was gentle and calm, her beautiful face, as serene as snow, lowered slightly. "It's just a pity that Mu Xi overestimates herself; Her Highness the Princess is far more intelligent than I am."

You definitely overestimate yourself.

Li Qingyan suddenly chuckled softly, looking down at Bai Muxi with amusement in her eyes. "I don't care about your schemes at all. If your schemes can train him well, I wouldn't even mind cooperating with you."

"."

Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, and he was about to say something in response, but the scene before him stunned him.

Li Qingyan stepped forward and bent down, her fair and slender hands reaching directly into Bai Muxi's full and perky purple gauze bodice.

Then,

After some groping around,

Bai Muxi knelt on the ground without resisting, letting the woman's hands explore her. Her face was slightly flushed, but it was unclear whether it was a genuine expression of emotion.

Xu Yuan suddenly coughed lightly:

"Ahem, Qingyan, what are you looking for? Let me help you."

"Shut up."

Li Qingyan glanced coldly back at him, then pulled the Blood God Stone Pendant from the slightly open, soft fabric, held it in her hand, and stared at Bai Muxi with a somewhat cold smile:

"I couldn't sense it before, but after absorbing the Fungal Armor in the secret chamber, I suddenly discovered that this Blood God Stone Pendant can influence the consciousness of the people with Blood Armor to a certain extent."

"Simin, what are you planning to do by keeping this a secret?"

This chapter is a make-up to yesterday's; that chapter might be a little later.

Maybe around 2 a. m.
