Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 71: Continuing the Unfinished Destiny in This Life
The Crown Princess slowly said something that shocked everyone: "I will tell you the secret buried under Yonghui City, and you will save my father's life."
When these words were spoken, not only Ying Lili, but everyone present was shocked.
Pinglili glanced at Qingluan subconsciously. Although he couldn't see the expression on Qingluan's face at this moment, Pinglili thought that Qingluan's expression must be very interesting at this moment. It turned out that the secret of Yonghui City was not the exclusive news of Penglai Fairyland.
Moreover, she was somewhat curious about what kind of secrets the Crown Princess knew. She wondered if it was the same secret treasure that Qingluan mentioned.
The most interesting thing is, why did the Crown Princess decide that she would risk Long Yu's wrath to save the life of General Zhiguo for her?
The Crown Princess did not seem to be joking. Her beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, were now staring at Ying Lili: "What do you think? Miss Ying, do you agree?"
Ping Lili suddenly felt that the Crown Princess was an interesting person. She forced out a faint smile and said, "That depends on whether the secret you know is worth the price."
"May I have a word with you?" The Crown Princess bit her lip, suppressing the anger in her heart. She knew that she had to ask for help from others, so her attitude naturally became much more humble.
"There are no outsiders here, just tell me directly." Ping Lili waved his hand nonchalantly. At this time, the other people underground, except Ze Ze and Mo Yi, all knew the secret. As for Mo Yi, Ping Lili naturally didn't have to worry about him. As for Ze Ze, to be honest, Ping Lili was not worried at all. Maybe it was because he still treated him as a child from the bottom of his heart. Besides, Ze Ze still had a weak spot in his hands, so it didn't matter if they heard it. More importantly, now that everyone was dragged underground and the future was uncertain, it was better to let everyone know what was going on.
"I believe Miss Ying is a person of her word, so please don't go back on your word." When the Crown Princess said this, although she was talking to Ying Lili, she was actually looking at Wei Xingying. She was such a smart person that she had long seen that Ying Lili and Wei Xingying were in the same group. If Ying Lili had spoken, Wei Xingying would naturally not be able to refute her. But Wei Xingying's noncommittal look at this time gave her a glimmer of hope. At least, Wei Xingying didn't seem to have the intention to put her father to death. This was a blessing in disguise.
"Stop beating around the bush and just say it directly." As if feeling the Crown Princess's gaze on him, Wei Xingying spoke for Ying Lili, indirectly expressing his attitude.
"It is said that there is an ancient mythical beast sleeping underground in Yonghui City. The reason why the ancient mythical beast is sleeping here is that it is guarding an ancient treasure." After gathering her thoughts, the Crown Princess slowly told this astonishing secret. Although Gong Lili and others already knew that there were treasures here, this was the first time they heard of an ancient mythical beast.
Ping Lili and Wei Xingying looked at each other, both showing a trace of surprise. Only Mo Yi raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. He quickly injected his divine sense into the "Dragon Slaying Song" and called up the sleeping blue dragon: "Do you sense any breath of the same kind?"
If there really is some ancient mythical beast underground, Canglong, who is also an ancient mythical beast, should be able to notice it.
The blue dragon was originally sleeping soundly in the 'Dragon Slaying Roar', and was obviously not happy to be pulled up by Mo Yi for no reason. However, when it heard that there were its own kind here, it reluctantly perked up. After pondering for a moment, it replied to Mo Yi: "The spiritual energy here is not normal. Although I don't sense the presence of any of my kind, I always feel that something is deliberately covering up some of the aura... So I dare not conclude."
At this time, the Crown Princess also spoke up: "I think that the previous unusual movements were probably someone trying to awaken the beast and the treasure, and the reason why we were sucked into the ground, if I am not mistaken, must be that there must be a key person among us who can awaken the beast or the treasure, so..."
She wisely did not finish her words , but everyone understood at this moment. Although Ping Lili remained expressionless, she secretly admired the intelligence of the Crown Princess. If the following few sentences were really just her guesses, then this Crown Princess was truly amazing, as she had guessed almost exactly what she had said.
And all the things she had said before coincided with what Qingluan had said. It seemed that she had not lied. But how did the Crown Princess know all this?
Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, the Crown Princess smiled sadly: "You are curious about how I know all this, right? Now I will not hide it from you. I came to Yonghui City from the Nanhai Imperial City because I got this by chance..." As she spoke, she carefully took out a bronze mirror from her arms.
Everyone was curious and wondered what she meant by taking out the bronze mirror.
But she spread the bronze mirror in her palm and walked in front of Ying Lili: "Miss Ying, please take a look."
The bronze mirror was rough and simple in style, with runes densely covered on the frame, but the mirror surface was as bright as ice, as if it was filled with clear water. Ping Lili stared at the mirror surface and found that the scene in the mirror was actually changing!
First, the scene of Yonghui City was printed out, and then a huge blood mark appeared between heaven and earth from outside Yonghui City to inside the city. The mark looked like a key. Unfortunately, the six people underground had not seen the scene on the ground at this time. If they had seen it, they would have discovered that the scene printed in the mirror was exactly the same as the scene formed on the ground now!
Then, the scene in the mirror changed again, and everyone took a deep breath when they saw it. The scene that appeared in the mirror at this time was exactly where they were now! The four sides were crystal, bright as day!
Ping Lili suddenly understood. Could this be the legendary treasure map? This word popped up in her mind for no reason. First, it was Yonghui City. Then, when something strange happened outside Yonghui City, she could come to this underground space. What would she encounter next?
Sea of fire, she saw a purgatory-like sea of fire. If she looked closely, she would find a faint path in the sea of fire, and the path was winding in the sea of fire.
Could it be that this was the only way to find treasure? Suddenly, Ping Lili felt her scalp go numb.
At this time, everyone became interested and came over together, as if curious about what scene would appear in the bronze mirror. However, they saw the Crown Princess flipped her hand and put the bronze mirror away again.
Just when Ping Lili was feeling somewhat dissatisfied, she saw the Crown Princess generously handing her the bronze mirror: "Everything I know is what I saw in this bronze mirror. There were many things I couldn't figure out before, but now that I'm here, I understand everything. Adding my own guesses, I'm probably pretty close. When I got this bronze mirror, I tried to come to Yonghui City to look for the secret realm in the mirror, but unfortunately I didn't find anything. I came here today and realized that finding that treasure also requires chance. Perhaps, I'm not the one with the destiny, so I'll give this thing to you."
"But, haven't you already come here? Maybe the treasure is just ahead, why are you so generous to give it to me?" Although she was very happy that the other party wanted to give her the bronze mirror, Ping Lili was still a little confused. Could it be that the Crown Princess had no interest in the so-called secret treasure of Yonghui City?
"When I got this bronze mirror, I naively thought about finding these treasures for my husband. Maybe he would look at me differently. But now, everything has become a mirage. No matter what I do, there is no going back for him and me."
When she said this, a hint of sadness appeared on the Crown Princess's face. Although it was only a flash, Ping Lili saw it clearly. She wanted to say something to comfort her, but she felt that any comfort she said at this moment might seem hypocritical. She looked at the Crown Princess intently and said solemnly: "I promise you, as long as we can return to Yonghui City, no matter what the cost, I will find a way to save your father's life for you."
The Crown Princess stared at her for a long time, then turned her head away and quietly said thank you.
Mo Yi had been watching coldly from the side. For some reason, he had always been very wary of this woman. He always had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that this woman might be hiding some other secrets, otherwise, how could she fall down with them so coincidentally, and also so coincidentally have that damn bronze mirror.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Mo Yi's eyes. If someone deliberately gave this bronze mirror to this woman and deliberately led her here, the story behind it would be very long...
Thinking of the sudden appearance of Jianyi's spirit and the inexplicable words he said, Mo Yi's eyelids twitched slightly. He wondered how much those two old guys had done behind the scenes? Could it be that those two old guys were also fueling all this?
But to be honest, no matter what Jianyi and Zhuo Ao think, Mo Yi himself has no interest in the secret treasure under Yonghui City. Although he vaguely feels that the thing may be related to Gong Lili, for Mo Yi, who has always been a martial arts fanatic, he is probably not as interested in any mysterious treasure as the ancient beast. Instead, he is interested in seeing the ancient beast that is said to guard the treasure. I wonder which one is stronger, that thing or the Canglong?
However, if the treasure is really what the two old guys want, it would be okay to go and take a look. The most important thing is that Mo Yi will not let Gong Lili face those unknown dangers alone.
During the few days in the ice palace, he had already thought it through clearly. Five hundred years ago, he did not have the ability or the determination to protect Yao Ji, allowing her to end up with such a miserable ending. Now, it is impossible for that tragedy to happen again.
This woman, this woman who had made him worry for five hundred years and left him with endless sighs every time he woke up in the middle of the night, he would never allow anyone to hurt her again! Even if the other party was a god or a demon, he, Mo Yi, would not be afraid at all! The worst that could happen was that he would kill the gods and seal the demons!
Although Mo Yi was stunned for a while by Ying Lili's strong confession, it also invisibly strengthened Mo Yi's belief.
"This person is the love of my life, the only one."
Thinking of what the little girl said before, Mo Yi's lips unconsciously curled up into a faint smile. Jing Lili thought that Mo Yi pretended to forget it like her, how could he forget it? Maybe for the rest of his life, Mo Yi would never forget what Jing Lili said today.
He had been waiting for these words for five hundred years. As far as he could remember, Yao Ji seemed to have never said a word like this to him.
There was something sweet in his heart. Was this the first time this woman had expressed her feelings to him so frankly? Although she seemed different from the day before, and although he understood her feelings, had always understood them, hearing her speak them out like this was the first time...
Some words have completely different effects when said in person or kept deep in your heart!
Mo Yi understood that he could never let go of her hand, absolutely not!
