Seeing that he didn’t look good, Ye Huai asked quickly, “Did something happen to your former princess again?”
“How did you know?”
“Who else can make you this worried? The Archfiend seems to be planning to retake his home with the Sky Splitting Mirror.”
“We can’t let him. We can deal with him if he’s in the human world, but he’ll be too strong for any human if he returns home.”
“That’s why I’m reporting to you now. I want to know your decision.”
“Have you found his base in the human world?” Feng Qingtian’s eyes were cold, determined to kill whoever hurt Gu Bailu.
“Not yet, but he’s probably going to search for his home with the Heavenly Star Map obtained from the former princess. If she can tell us about the map, we’ll be able to ambush him in advance.”
“You’re going to have to wait a day or two.”
Gu Bailu certainly wouldn’t be able to tell them about the Heavenly Star Map right now.
Feng Qingtian was also certain that the map which Gu Bailu had given to the Archfiend couldn’t be entirely accurate.
He knew that she was smarter than that.
“Then I should summon all the troops in advance.”
“Yes. Keep an eye on the enemy and report to me if there’s any change.”
The Archfiend probably had two pieces of the Sky Splitting Mirror. It would be much easier if he could rob the guy of both pieces at the same time.
Ye Hua arrived soon after Ye Huai left.
“My lord, Mr. Xiao said that he doesn’t know what the princess ate, and wanted to know if you did… It was too strong, and neither the princess nor Ah Luo could resist its power, so they passed out.”
“What is it?”
“I saw that their lips were colorful. Here’s a tiny piece.” Ye Hua showed him part of the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers that Gu Bailu hadn’t finished.
Feng Qingtian’s eyes bulged. “What a silly girl! How could she have eaten the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers?”
The King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers could easily kill anyone if it was eaten directly!
“How’s she doing right now? Is her life at risk? What about the baby?”
Feng Qingtian grew anxious. Why would she suddenly eat the entire King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers?
Exactly what did she want?
“Mr. Xiao said that she’s fine for now, although she might sleep for a couple of days.”
“Ask him to look after her and make sure that nothing happens to her.” Feng Qingtian tried to hold back his urge to visit the Gu house.
He wished that time could flow faster. Never had it felt so slow to him before.
…
Gu Bailu was lost for words after she woke up; she realized that she shouldn’t have eaten the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers.
Mr. Xiao looked at her and Ah Luo in amusement. “You two gluttons were truly bold to eat that. Weren’t you scared that you might be killed?”
Gu Bailu chuckled. “I… I simply wanted to develop a spirit root sooner. Am I fine? Do I have a spirit root now?”
“You’re fine, but do you have any idea what a great treasure you’ve destroyed?”
The water of the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers could make people increase their spiritual power. It was even more useful than the Pure Heart Pill.
Yet, this woman had eaten the King of 9,999 Spring Harbingers as if it were candy.
Even more annoyingly, Ah Luo’s first remark after she woke up had been that the candy was delicious and she wanted more.
More?
Mr. Xiao almost couldn’t hold back his urge to curse. The legendary 9,999 Spring Harbingers were already invaluable, to say nothing of the king!
