Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 67 Why Women Have Such Difficulties
At this moment, a turquoise mist swirled around Mo Yi's side! The purple figure that gradually appeared before his eyes made Ying Lili's eyes suddenly narrow. It was the Crown Princess! Long Yu's wife! Why was she here?
Suddenly, Yinglili remembered Long Yu's hesitant words and wandering eyes from last night. She knew that there must be something hidden behind Long Yu's words, "Pianpian is missing." But why was she here? This place was just overrun by monsters. How had she hidden here without being discovered by the monsters?
Could it be…
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Pinglili's heart.
She subconsciously pinched the Life Secret, but found that this Crown Princess was different from the previous Nangong Lin. There was not a trace of darkness on her body. She looked no different from a normal person. She should have never been invaded. But how did she avoid the attacks of those monsters?
Although Yinglili had no hostility towards the Crown Princess, and was only slightly curious, the Crown Princess' heart was filled with a desire to crush Yinglili to ashes! She had previously suppressed the infinite hatred she had for Yinglili because of Long Yu, but the hatred for her father's murder was irreconcilable!
Because the "water of the underworld" is like a part of her thousand-year lifespan. The more she consumes, the faster her lifespan will be shortened.
The only way to stop her was to seal her underwater. The Ruoye fishmen were one with water; it was their lifeblood, and the 'Water of the Yellow Spring' was a water-based technique. Sealing her underwater would temporarily prevent her from squandering her thousand-year lifespan. Long Yu's actions last night were motivated by a desire for her own safety.
Even if he didn't love her, she was his wife after all, and he didn't want her to go down that road of no return for him, and subconsciously, he didn't want to involve her in this dispute. In fact, Long Yu himself had no idea who would win this battle. If he won, it would be fine. If he lost, if he really encountered any misfortune, her seal would be lifted by itself in a few days. With her strength, it would not be difficult for her to return to the South China Sea. Long Yu thought, this would be the last thing he would do for her in this life, at least to save her life. After all, no one would have thought that Long Yu would seal his crown princess at the bottom of the moat.
Moreover, to be cautious, Long Yu deliberately let some "Yellow Spring Water" erode the water of the moat outside the west gate. His original intention was to protect her and prevent others from discovering or harming her. However, he did not expect that the rebels led by General Zhiguo would be blocked by the "Yellow Spring Water" when attacking the city. They mistakenly believed that Pianpian had been killed, which strengthened General Zhiguo's determination to rebel.
It’s really fate!
Although the Crown Princess was sealed under the water, unable to move or speak, she saw everything that happened at the West Gate before, including the breakup between her father and her husband, and how her father was turned into a bloody mist!
It was after her father was sniped and killed by Gong Lili that the grief in her heart finally allowed her to break through the seal that Long Yu had placed on her. When she followed the moat to the outside of the east gate, the ten thousand year old black crystal was just emerging from the ground and covering everything. The sky and the earth were in darkness, which gave her an opportunity to take advantage of.
Because she felt the spiritual power of Gong Lili, the Crown Princess calmly hid herself among the army of the Kongming tribe. Later, when she saw the young man who suddenly appeared from outer space taking Gong Lili underground, she followed without hesitation. Because the "Water of the Yellow Spring" originally carried the aura of the dead, which was similar to the aura of darkness, she was able to hide herself very well among those monsters, and even Mo Yi did not discover her.
The Crown Princess was not a fool. Although she was eager for revenge, she knew that she was no match for the young man. She originally wanted to wait until both sides were exhausted, or until the young man was too busy to take care of himself before launching a sneak attack on Gong Lili. However, she did not expect that the young man had such arrogant strength that many monsters were no match for him.
Before she had a chance to launch a sneak attack, Mo Yi swept away all the monsters with a single move of "Daytime Light". She knew that she could no longer hide, and instead of waiting to die, she might as well take the initiative to attack. However, she was not so arrogant as to plan to fight the two men head-on.
Thinking of this, she suppressed her hatred deep in her heart, but put on a calm expression on her face.
How could Yinglili know all these details? Furthermore, Yinglili hadn't killed General Zhiguo in the first place, so she had a clear conscience. Unable to hold back, Yinglili spoke tentatively, "Tai, hey, Miss Pianpian, why are you here? Long Yu said you were missing last night, and we were worried if something had happened to you."
"I'm not missing. I was forcibly sealed at the bottom of the moat by my husband." The Crown Princess was smart. She knew that what Gong Lili said was a test, so she simply told her part of the truth, including how she obtained the power of the "Water of the Yellow Spring" and how she was forcibly sealed by Long Yu. Anyway, these were irrelevant content. Of course, she never mentioned that she saw Gong Lili killing her father outside the west gate, pretending that she didn't know anything about it.
Moreover, as if to gain the trust of Peng Lili, she actually took the initiative to remove the emerald green mist. The expression on her face was that of a wronged little woman.
"Ah? Why? Why would he do this?" Ying Lili's surprise at this moment was not fake. Although she had thought of many possibilities, she really didn't expect that Long Yu would do such a thing.
"My husband probably did it for the sake of protection." This was not a lie. Pianpian was such a smart woman that she had already guessed some of Long Yu's motives for sealing her. Moreover, she knew that such words would make Ying Lili subconsciously relax her vigilance.
"Then, why are you here?" Ying Lili's words came like a string of cannonballs, as if leaving the Crown Princess no room to think carefully.
"I just broke through the seal and floated up from the river, and I felt the strange dark power here. Look at my fancy boxing skills. If I go to defend the city, I'm afraid I can only hinder my husband. So I followed quietly, wanting to see if I can be of any use here, but I didn't expect that I was a step too late. It seems that there is no place for me here." Although her tone was somewhat self-deprecating, her eyes went through Gong Lili and looked directly at Mo Yi behind her: "I just came here and saw this young master's Qiankun strike. He is really good. I wonder who this young master is?"
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. As for this mysterious young man of unknown origin, the Crown Princess thought that she should at least know his background first.
Ping Lili pondered the Crown Princess' words and subconsciously fell silent. Was it just the right time? If it was really as she said, this was too much of a coincidence...
Mo Yi also pursed his lips tightly at this time, and did not intend to answer. This woman is not simple! Mo Yi almost had a grudge against the purple-clothed woman who suddenly appeared at first sight. Although he had left the Xuming Realm for five hundred years, as the son of the patriarch of the Nayu tribe, he had heard of all the strange secrets and skills of the Xuming Realm. Mo Yi could tell at a glance that this "Yellow Spring Water" that could make people go to the end of the sky was something he could not imagine.
Moreover, who is Mo Yi? With his hundreds of years of experience, how could he not see the hostility hidden in the eyes of the Crown Princess? Although she deliberately pretended to be kind, Mo Yi still easily felt her hostility towards Ying Lili.
Mo Yi wanted to remind Ying Lili to be careful with this woman, but he suddenly felt Ying Lili's hand in his arms tightly pinching his wrist, and then quickly letting go. Mo Yi was stunned, but his heart was as clear as a mirror. He simply continued to purse his lips and watched from the sidelines.
He also wanted to know how much this little girl had grown after all these days of experience.
"It is a blessing for Long Yu to have a Crown Princess like you who cares about him so much and can share his worries. However, the dark power of the demon clan has been eliminated. It is not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go up quickly." As if deliberately ignoring the various loopholes in the Crown Princess' words, Ping Lili had a warm smile on her face at this time. She calmly broke free from Mo Yi's arms and slowly walked towards the Crown Princess.
The opportunity has arrived! Seeing that Yinglili seemed to believe what she had just said and was actually taking the initiative to walk towards her, the Crown Princess was secretly delighted. If she came a little closer, she would be able to avenge her great hatred!
At this moment, all her nerves were stretched to the extreme. She only needed Ping Lili to come a few steps closer, and then the emerald green mist would appear out of nowhere and send Ping Lili to the underworld!
One step, two steps, Ping Lili seemed to be unaware and still walked towards her with a smile on his face.
But just as the Crown Princess was about to strike, a chill flashed across Yinglili's eyes. She was startled, suddenly realizing a circle of golden talismans had appeared beside her. She subconsciously tried to summon "Water of the Yellow Spring," but it was too late! The golden talismans flew into her body like lightning, and she felt as if every part of her body was sealed shut, unable to move at all!
At this moment, the Crown Princess suddenly realized that the difference between us and the enemy was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth! Ping Lili could kill her with a flick of his hand!
Fallen in a trap?! Had she anticipated his intentions? Before the Crown Princess could react, Yinglili had already arrived in front of her, her expression calm and composed, as if nothing had just happened. Yinglili stood straight in front of her, staring at her intently, then sighed deeply. The pitiful expression on his face made the Crown Princess feel a little angry and embarrassed!
"What do you mean? Since I lost, you can kill me or chop me up as you please. But remember, I will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"
The Crown Princess thought that the winner would be the king and the loser would be the bandit. Since she was not as skilled as her father, there was nothing to say. However, she thought of her father's brave life, but he ended up in such a tragic situation. As a child, not only could she not avenge her father, but she was also going to die here. She couldn't help but feel unwilling.
"I know you hate me, but I hope you can listen to me patiently." Ping Lili's voice was neither fast nor slow, but every word was clearly transmitted to the eardrums of the Crown Princess.
"I didn't kill your father. I don't know if you were there at the time, but I can swear on my character that he is still alive and with Wei Xingying in Yonghui City." Ying Lili naturally knew why the Crown Princess hated her so much and wanted to kill her with her own hands. If it were her, she would probably do the same. The hatred for killing her father was irreconcilable. Thinking that this place was relatively safe at the moment, with Mo Yi here, there should be no third party appearing, so she told the secret.
These words made the Crown Princess feel like she had returned from hell to heaven. She widened her eyes, full of disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Believe it or not, I, Ying Lili, am fearless in everything I do, but I only want to be worthy of my conscience. I have always remembered the words you said to protect me in Jingyan Palace that day. Today, I am repaying you for your kindness by letting your father go." When Ying Lili said this, his face was calm, and he looked directly into the eyes of the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess' heart moved. At that moment, looking at the sincere eyes of Yinglili, she was willing to believe what Yinglili had just said. She hoped that what she said was true. When she thought that her father was still alive, the Crown Princess was so excited that she could not control herself.
Seeing that the other party seemed to believe what she said, there was finally a hint of genuine smile on Ying Lili's face. She thought to herself , we are all women, why bother to make things difficult for women? Thinking of this, she decided to go all out and explain one more sentence. Perhaps deep down, she did not want to be an enemy of the woman in front of her.
Moreover, she understood that apart from the grudge over patricide, there was another knot between her and the Crown Princess.
Now is a good time to untie the knot in her heart. With the corner of her eye, Ping Lili inadvertently glanced at Mo Yi who was watching the show behind him with his fists folded across his chest. A faint smile curved the corners of her lips. These words were just right for him to hear.
Ping Lili took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "There's one more thing I must tell you. Believe it or not, Long Yu and I are just close friends. Beyond that, we don't have any other feelings for each other."
"This person is the love of my life, the only one."
