On the third day after Chuzheng came out.
The team encountered a group from Xia Country, with Guo Zhen and the Princess of Xia Country among them.
The Princess of Xia Country stood beside another young man, showing concern for him, while Guo Zhen was somewhat distant, obviously not favored by the Princess.
Seeing Chuzheng, Guo Zhen was reminded of his own plight.
He had thought it over and over, and the most suspicious person regarding the Shadow Tree Beast incident was Chu Yingyu.
Because of him, the Princess had misunderstood, and now she was ignoring Guo Zhen.
Therefore, as soon as Guo Zhen saw Chuzheng, he began to speak without thinking, âOh, has your Highness been found? I thought your Highness would stay down there and finish having a child with that male pet before coming out.â
âGuo Zhen, donât start trouble!â Jingyuanâs people were terrified.
This idiot is bringing up Young Master Xie Shu!
If he wants to die, donât drag them into it!
âMe, start trouble? How am I starting trouble? Isnât what I said a fact?â Guo Zhen looked to the people beside him: âYou tell me, isnât it?â
With Guo Zhenâs high status, as soon as he asked, there were immediately people responding.
Voices clamored chaotically, spewing offensive language that was harsh to the ears.
Chuzheng considered taking out this damn creature.
â[Main task: Please spend a thousand middle-grade Xuan Stones within half an hour.]â The Kingâs Account issued the task very timely.
Clearly implementing the guideline that where there are people, there will be ways to squander wealth.
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
Alright then.
I wonât make a move.
Chuzheng beckoned to someone nearby with a finger.
âYour Highness, donât listen to their nonsense.â The person immediately responded.
Chuzheng handed over Xuan Stones to the person: âHit that Guo surname, you guys can share these Xuan Stones.â
ââ¦â
His Highness is indeed angry!
But that Guo really does deserve a beating.
Once Chuzheng had spoken, a group of people didnât say a second word and just started fighting.
Both sides consisted of young and vigorous individuals, and it was all too easy for a fight to break out.
Most here were Xuan Masters and Xuan Kings; orange and red Xuan Qi intertwined together, dazzling like fireworks.
Chuzheng found a place to sit down, watching the fray with a detached posture.
âStop fighting.â
âStop it!â
âI said stop it!â
The Princess of Xia Country was frantic with red eyes on the other side, but her words at this moment seemed insignificant, no one listened to her, and she was nearly injured.
Just when the fight was at a deadlock, suddenly there came a ground-shaking noise from the horizon.
This commotion directly made everyone stop.
âSqueak!â
The distant trees toppled, and the Xuan beastâs roar thundered through the sky.
From that roar, Chuzheng could feel an intense pressure washing over from the direction of the woods, almost as if the sound waves had substance.
Those with lower strengths couldnât bear it, covering their ears and wailing.
The ground trembled.
Trees continually fell.
A gigantic golden Mouse appeared in everyoneâs sight.
The Golden Rat was being attacked, waving its claws in anger with fur standing like steel needles.
With a shake of its body, the Golden Rat flung its steel-like hairs around, which would then return to its body.
Chuzheng watched, eyes wide.
This Mouse is huge!
Taller than the woods, it was like a small hill.
âIs this a Xuan beast?â
âSomeone is battling it!â
âMy heavens, itâs huge⦠Iâve never seen such a large Xuan beast.â
âBullshit Xuan beast, thatâs the Holy Beast Tianjin Rat!â someone knowledgeable shouted, âStill watching? Want to lose your lives? Run!â
They might be able to just cope with a Xuan beast when working together.
But that thing was a Holy Beast, not even fit to get stuck in its teeth.
âYour Highness, run fast!â
The brawling crowd had already rushed back, urging Chuzheng to leave.
The Tianjin Mouse and the battle were now moving in their direction, and the sensation of the ground shaking and mountains rocking was getting worse.
[Main Quest: Please spend ten fire crystals within half an hour.]
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
Itâs not enough to be a bastard, you all want me to run, and now you want me to squander money? Is this appropriate?
[Miss, trust me!]
I trust you my big ghost head!
And what the hell are fire crystals?
Isnât the general currency here Xuan Stones?
Iâm telling you, Bastard, donât mess things up!
[Miss, although Xuan Stones are the general currency, other items can also be traded, so theoretically they can also act as currency, itâs just not universal.]
The Kingâs Account justified itself forcefully.
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
[Miss, let me educate you about the Tianjin Mouse. It especially loves fire crystals.]
Chuzheng: ââ¦â Thatâs it?
[Thatâs it.] Isnât this hint obvious enough?
Chuzheng looked at the mouse that was ridiculously big.
You want me to go on a shopping spree with a mouse?!
A mouse!
A mouse!
You bunch of bastard mice!
[â¦] Snakes and mice share the same nest, but what does that have to do with other people being bastards? [Miss, keep it up!]
You must be patient with Miss!
You must be kind and friendly to Miss!
I am a polite System!
The scene was chaotic, and Chuzheng took the opportunity to leave the team.
She headed back, and when passing by the team from Xia Country, she saw the Princess of Xia Country and that young man together, with Guo Zhen running behind them.
Suddenly, the Princess of Xia Country fell forward, and the young man who was being supported by her fell down with her.
âBrother Mo, Brother Mo, are you alright?â
âCough cough cough⦠Iâm okay.â
The Princess of Xia Country helped the man up, then turned around and glared angrily: âGuo Zhen, why did you push me?â
âPrincess, what are you talking about?â Guo Zhen was confused: âWe should hurryâ¦â
Smack!
The Princess of Xia Country slapped Guo Zhenâs face.
âGuo Zhen, I really misjudged you!â
She turned and helped the young man away, leaving behind a stunned Guo Zhen.
What did he do?
Guo Zhen turned around and saw Chuzheng not far away, everybody else was running forward, leaving her standing alone on the edge, silent, elegant and cold, isolated from the chaos.
A lightbulb went off in Guo Zhenâs mind, as if he understood something.
âChu Yingyu!â Guo Zhen roared angrily as he rushed toward Chuzheng: âIt was you who did this!â
Multiple times she caused the Princess to misunderstand him!
âDo you have evidence?â Chuzheng asked with a cold face: âDonât talk nonsense.â And Iâm not called Chu Yingyu.
âWhat, dare to do but not to admit! Chu Yingyu when did you become like this? Werenât you always arrogant and willing to stand by your actions?â Guo Zhen was so angry he couldnât speak properly.
Those lagging behind saw that Guo Zhen wasnât running but instead arguing loudly with Chuzheng, yelling at him to run quickly.
âI said it wasnât me.â
âYouâ¦â
Boomââ
The ground shook violently.
Guo Zhen almost lost his balance.
The giant mouse was getting closer and closer, the Xuan Qi used to attack it was falling from all directions, and in an instant, dirt and rocks were flying, flames erupted, and it felt like the world was breaking apart.
Guo Zhenâs face changed from fear.
He quickly glanced at Chuzheng and saw her eyes were fixed on the Tianjin Mouse.
A plan formed in Guo Zhenâs mind, his Xuan Qi built up inside him, and he furiously unleashed it toward Chuzheng.
Die!
Chuzheng had sensed Guo Zhenâs move the moment he made it, so the orange Xuan Qi did not hit her.
Seeing his sneak attack fail, Guo Zhen was somewhat annoyed.
âChu Yingyu, you just wait, Iâm not finished with you!â
Chuzheng casually dusted off the sparks on her dress. Just as Guo Zhen was about to disappear, Chuzheng raised her hand, and the Yin Xian shot out like a dragon, twining around Guo Zhenâs ankle and violently yanked him back.
