Chapter 863: Match-up
No matter what the request was! Even one’s life could be offered up.
There would definitely be a loser.
Feng Qingtian gripped Gu Bailu’s hand and wiped her mouth gently. “We can ignore it.”
Gu Bailu smiled at him. “My lord, are we afraid of losing?”
“No.” Feng Qingtian wasn’t afraid. He wasn’t afraid of anyone, but who knew what tricks they had. After all, this was Xiao Jingyun’s territory, and he had his eye on Gu Bailu.
Gu Bailu leaned her head on his shoulder. “Can I try?”
She was anxious about the whereabouts of her parents’ souls, and just as she was worrying that there was no way to find them, she had been given the opportunity on a platter.
Although she knew that it was still a little dangerous, she still wanted to gamble on it.
“Do whatever you want. I’m here,” Feng Qingtian’s expression was light, but his words were full of unconditional acceptance.
Xiao Jingyun was nothing to him. If he did anything to Gu Bailu, Feng Qingtian wouldn’t let him get away with it, even at the cost of destroying his ten thousand-year-old soul.
Gu Bailu looked around. There was only her and Feng Qingtian; to make up five people, they could only add their guards.
These people had extremely high spiritual power, but compared with those at the top of the pyramid, they were still a little lacking.
Since she wanted to participate, she had to win.
“What do you think, Princess Zi?” Xiao Jingyun asked respectfully.
Gu Bailu smiled. “Since it’s going to be a team competition, let’s hear how the teams will be formed.”
Shao Zun smiled. He knew that Prince Zi was planning to participate, so he hurriedly replied, “It’s fine as long as you have five people. You can form your own team, as long as they’re willing to join you.”
In actual fact, doing it this way meant that there would only be two teams, the two strongest ones.
As for everyone else… Who would want to be cannon fodder?
“I like it. However, with the winning team, all five members must agree when making the winning request,” Gu Bailu said.
Gu Bailu’s move surprised Shao Zun.
If all five members had to agree, then it had to be a request which would benefit all five members.
This would be a great restriction on the members one could have in a team.
Unless the team was all made up of one’s own people.
But the chances of winning with such a team wasn’t high.
“It’ll be hard to form teams then,” Shao Zun said. “We can go with a majority agreement.”
“If you don’t agree to my request, my husband and I won’t participate.”
Gu Bailu wasn’t stupid enough to let Shao Zun and the emperor work together against them.
She forcefully turned this casual match-up into an open match…
“Alright, this will be more interesting.” Xiao Jingyun agreed immediately and was eager to try.
Feng Qingtian grabbed Gu Bailu’s hand. “Can your body take it?”
He knew Gu Bailu’s strength best. They were the perfect team, and few people in this world were their match.
It was just a slight pity that Gu Bailu had exhausted her spiritual power when she opened the barrier of the Demon Realm last time.
“It’s fine; I wouldn’t force myself if I can’t do it. They’ve already set up the pot and the oil has heated up. They’re just waiting to cook us. We can’t waste that pot of oil.”
Gu Bailu smiled.
However, whether they would be the ones to be thrown into the pot or not depended on their capabilities.
Feng Qingtian’s eyes glittered. “The princess and I, and three guards, will form a team.”
Xiao Jingyun was surprised. “Prince Zi has decided just like that?”
Looking at this team, if they won, they really could make whatever request they wanted since they were all his people.
Was it really good to be so confident?
Princess Zi was still a piece of trash with low spiritual power.
