Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 27: Being too clever
The Prince's Palace of the Ruoye Tribe
The room was filled with warm fragrance, and moist dew floated in the air, light and fragmentary. In a side hall of the Hanyuan Palace, a vivid scene of a beautiful woman bathing was being performed.
Although this beauty was far inferior to the one who had thrown her in before, a good woman should not fight with a handsome man, right? Ping Lili would not get angry with a man who was too handsome to be a mortal. Because that was purely self-humiliation, which was a truth that Yao Ji had already understood.
"Hah... so comfortable~" With a weak sigh, the long-haired woman comfortably immersed her slender body in the warm spring water with a slightly green glow, letting the warm spring water soak her cold skin inch by inch.
The water was warm and smooth, and a clear and warm feeling spread from the top of the head to the whole body. It seemed that all the 180,000 pores in the body opened up in an instant. The originally pale face gradually began to have a hint of blood color, and slowly the turbid air in the chest was all expelled. An indescribable feeling of comfort surged in Peng Lili's heart, and he was so comfortable that he almost took a nap.
This bathing water is not ordinary spring water. It is a medicinal bath specially prepared for her by the imperial physician. It is called "Nine Heavens Jade Dew" and it is said to have the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and moistening lungs. It will be of great benefit to the eight extraordinary meridians in her body that have just been unblocked and the still weak internal organs.
So, before Ping Lili, who had just saved her life, could hold hands with her old friend and look into his eyes with tears in her eyes, and have a touching scene of reunion after a hundred years, she was thrown here by Long Yu like a chicken.
Originally, she had many questions that she wanted to confirm with him one by one. After all, this old friend knew many secrets from five hundred years ago that she did not know. However, the other party did not give her the opportunity to say more. He just said: "It will not be too late to reminisce after your body has fully recovered." He shut her up and threw her here without any doubt.
Feeling extremely dissatisfied, Ping Lili had no idea that she was living under someone else's roof. She was thinking in her heart that after taking a shower and changing her clothes, she would definitely go to Long Yu to ask him for answers. Many of the mysteries from five hundred years ago were still weighing on Ping Lili's mind.
Although she is temporarily safe under Long Yu's protection, however, Gong Lili knows that her journey to the virtual world has just begun, and she doesn't know how many dangers are waiting for her. It is impossible for Long Yu to follow her all the time, and she has to rely on herself for everything. Therefore, if she could know more secrets of the past, perhaps she could avoid some unnecessary troubles.
Thinking back to the thrilling experiences she had in the past few days, Ping Lili felt her scalp tingling. It seemed that she had never been so miserable in her life, becoming a prisoner and being snatched away like an object...
Mo Yi.
Inevitably, that name entered into Yinglili's mind again. Mo Yi, is he okay? Where is he now?
Ying Lili sat up subconsciously, touched the small brocade bag that had been hanging around his neck, and then carefully took it off. He reached out and took out the familiar black iron short blade like a magic trick . Ying Lili was now quite familiar with how to use this treasure bag.
She held the ancient short blade in her hand, and her fingertips gently stroked the faint dragon pattern on the scabbard. In a flash, she felt that the dragon pattern seemed to be flashing with a deep blue light. She subconsciously lowered her head and wanted to take a closer look, but the deep blue light was gone in a flash. Ping Lili stared blankly at the black iron short blade in her hand, thinking that she was dazzled.
After a while, she slowly pulled the short blade out of the scabbard. The blade was still shining with cold light, and it seemed that she could still feel a trace of the original owner's breath through the short blade. Inadvertently, the familiar face appeared in her mind again, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and tightly pursed thin lips. She thought, even if she could never meet him again in this life, she would never forget him, right? Because he has always been in the deepest part of her heart, the softest place.
Different from the instant feeling of familiarity and deep friendship with Long Yu, and also different from the brotherhood with Yan Zheng, to her, he is just a cinnabar mole in her heart, which is settled in her heart and cannot be replaced by anyone.
Thinking of Mo Yi, Ping Lili's expression became gentle, but this tenderness did not last long. Suddenly, through the shiny blade in her hand, she seemed to see a golden light behind her, and then something fell from the air. She turned around subconsciously and was so scared that her face turned pale!
In the golden light, a ferocious giant snake that was four or five feet long seemed to fall from the sky. Its palm-sized scales were shining with cold light, and its pair of red lantern-like snake eyes emitted two rays of blood. Its long tongue was hissing, and it was only one step away from Gong Lili's body!
"Ah! Snake! ~~~~~~~~" The scream went straight to the sky, and Ping Lili subconsciously jumped out of the crystal bathtub screaming, and then swung her right hand holding the black iron short blade across the sky. Ping Lili at this time was very different from the previous few days. Because the Ren and Du meridians were opened, and Long Yu's spiritual energy essence that had been cultivated for thousands of years was absorbed, the spiritual energy in Ping Lili's body was like a spring, constantly gushing out from her fingertips, and unexpectedly gathered on the short blade along her fingertips. She waved her white hand, and a white light suddenly appeared! Almost cut off half of the giant snake's long tongue!
The black iron short blade in her hand was as cold and chilling as it was in Mo Yi's hand that day. Although it did not have the overbearing and powerful sword energy like Mo Yi's, the lethality formed by the pure spiritual energy was not weak!
Ying Lili swung the sharp blade in his hand and slashed through the air a few times. With the cold blade energy, he actually forced the giant snake back a few steps.
At this time, several maids who had been guarding outside the hall rushed in upon hearing the noise. Because Ying Lili was not used to being served bathing, they had left them outside. Hearing the screams from inside the house, the maids did not dare to delay and rushed in in panic!
But after all, they were just a group of weak women, how could they handle such a terrifying monster! As soon as these maids rushed in and saw the giant snake spitting out long tongues, some of them immediately screamed and fainted!
"Don't come over! Get out!" Ping Lili knew that they were just ordinary maids, powerless, so she didn't want to implicate innocent people. She cautiously stepped back a few steps and was in a stalemate with the giant snake, but suddenly felt a chill and realized that she was naked. Fortunately, the giant snake was attracted by the maids who suddenly broke in. She quickly moved around and picked up the long skirt that she had taken off and thrown aside before, and wrapped it around her body casually, actually putting the long skirt on her chest like a tube top, and then tied a knot casually to cover her spring scenery, and then she approached the giant snake step by step with her bare feet and tightly grasped the black iron short blade!
At this time and place, Ping Lili actually forgot to escape. Before, because she knew that she was not strong enough, Ping Lili had been very cautious and restrained. But ever since the conversation between the imperial physician and Long Yu, when she learned that her Ren and Du meridians had been opened and that Long Yu had infused a lot of spiritual energy into her body, Ping Lili 's confidence swelled to the extreme. Relying on the spiritual power of Yao Ji and the power of the Suzaku Curse in her body, she now had a bit more of the spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!
Although she didn't know where this giant snake came from or who ordered it, since it was coming for her, she might as well use it to test the knife!
When the giant snake first appeared, it was shrouded in golden light and moved relatively slowly. Gradually, the golden light around it dissipated. Only then did Ping Lili notice that there was a shining jade horn on the head of the giant snake.
Suddenly, a ray of divine light shot out from the jade horn and slashed towards Ying Lili like a three-foot-long sword.
Ping Lili subconsciously dodged, but found that his body was extremely light at this moment. He jumped several feet away with just a light leap. This discovery made Ping Lili even more happy. He didn't expect that he would turn a disaster into a blessing and his cultivation would improve rapidly!
"Chi"
Although the divine light did not hit Ying Lili, it directly shattered the crystal and wood carvings in the room to the ground, and left a terrifying crack on the ground. What was even more terrifying was that the large crystal bathtub that had just blocked Ying Lili's way and was used for bathing was actually cut in half. The broken end was extremely smooth, like cutting tofu, and the full basin of bathing water actually flowed all over the ground.
Ping Lili sucked in a breath of cold air. Fortunately, he dodged it just now. Otherwise, he would have turned into a miserable piece of tofu by now!
Immediately afterwards, several more divine rays shot out, and then Peng Lili leaped away as lightly as a colorful butterfly flying through flowers.
At this moment, countless scenes of fighting pythons with wisdom that he had seen in ancient martial arts films flashed through Ying Lili's mind. He thought, at this moment, should he bravely leap onto the back of the giant snake, cut off its jade horns with a knife, and then stab the black iron short blade through its head? Then the big snake would be dead.
Well, it's wonderful to imagine, but it's very difficult to actually do it. First of all, how to approach this monster is a big problem. Although Gong Lili feels that he is already agile at this time, although there is no problem in dodging around, it does not mean that there is no problem in facing it head-on.
However, hiding like this is not a solution. Since he has decided to practice with it, he can't just dodge. Gong Lili took a deep breath, held the short blade in his hand, and with a burning gaze, he gathered all the spiritual power in his body on the tip of the blade. Then, as a ray of divine light shot into the sky again, Gong Lili suddenly jumped up, ready to stage a thrilling battle between man and snake. However, his wish failed easily!
The giant snake's red lantern-like eyes flashed strangely, and then as Ying Lili got closer and closer to it, it no longer emitted divine rays from the jade horns on its head, but simply opened its bloody mouth and spit out its tongue. Ying Lili, who had already come close, only felt an extremely terrifying suction force coming towards her. Before she could even perform the countless heroic snake-slaying moves she had imagined, she was sucked in by the suction force and swallowed into the giant snake's stomach in one gulp...
When the crescent-colored and emerald-green figure suddenly rushed in, it happened to see the scene of Ping Lili being swallowed alive by the giant snake...
