156: He wants to be a pretty boy

Shen Mo's eyes flickered.

So mysterious?

And as he was thinking this, Nangong Lingyu, on the other side, continued, "If young master is here for a spot in our Royal Forbidden Ground, then I will give you this position as a worshipper."

"However, if you want to get the only worshipper combat slot, you'll have to compete with the other worshippers yourself. I won't interfere with that."

"Mm." Shen Mo replied lightly, "Alright."

"Mm, then if my Imperial Sister and the others come to cause trouble, I hope young master can also lend a hand," Nangong Lingyu said.

Shen Mo: "?!"

"Your Imperial Sister and the others are coming to cause trouble? About what?" he asked.

"Of course, it's the war between our worshippers," Nangong Lingyu said strangely.

Then, she covered her lips and let out a soft "Ah," saying, "Ah, I forgot to mention, the war between worshippers isn't just between our own worshippers, but also other worshippers..."

"Cough cough... if we can eliminate the opponent's worshippers beforehand..."

Nangong Lingyu's clear eyes just looked at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo: "..."

Very good, very powerful!

Holy crap!

You people from the secret realms are really brutal!

But I like it!

"So, I can just casually eliminate the opponent's worshippers? Without paying any price?"

Shen Mo thought this in his heart, calculating if there was any profit to be made from it.

Now he looked at Nangong Lingyu with a look of seeing a "little cabbage."

Don't misunderstand, this "little cabbage" is not that little cabbage.

It's the little leeks that can be cut!

Shen Mo looked at Nangong Lingyu and suddenly said, "What if I'm the pretty boy you brought back?"

Nangong Lingyu: "???!!!"

"Young master, what do you mean?"

Nangong Lingyu felt a bit like she didn't understand.

What did he mean by that?

Shen Mo patiently explained, "I mean, we put on a play. You pretend that I'm the pretty boy you found, wanting to push me to the top, and I have no ability at all, relying purely on your support!"

"And you abuse your power for personal gain, insisting on pushing me to the top and letting me enter the Royal Forbidden Ground."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Feng Qing and Phoenix Blue and the others looked at each other, and suddenly felt that this plot was so familiar!

Wasn't this the script their young lady had used before?

A good-for-nothing fiancé, a hopeless case, but their young lady insisted on supporting him, and then...

And then there was no 'then,' their faces were all swollen from being slapped.

So, Young Master Shen is trying this trick again now?!

Everyone started to feel a toothache!

What is Young Master Shen doing?

Why does he love pretending to be a pig so much?!

He pretended outside before, and now he's pretending inside this secret realm too.

Does he have some special fetish?!

While everyone was speechless, Nangong Lingyu on the other side blinked her charming phoenix eyes in surprise, and asked rather blankly, "Why?"

Why would she bring a "pretty boy" back and then let people slap her in the face?!

Nangong Lingyu didn't understand the logic behind it for a moment.

At this moment, Shen Mo began his brainwashing campaign.

"Look, aren't your Imperial Sister and the others trying to target you?" he asked.

Nangong Lingyu nodded.

"That's right!" Shen Mo clapped his hands and said, "Then don't give them a chance to target you!"

"Can't we develop quietly and amaze everyone?"

Shen Mo's gaze swept across Nangong Lingyu's chest.

Cough cough cough, my sin, my sin, I only have my wife in my heart, it's all a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it!

Nangong Lingyu didn't notice Shen Mo's gaze, only heard his words, and immediately nodded blankly, but still couldn't quite figure it out,

"Why should we develop quietly and amaze everyone?" she asked.

Why not just crush them directly?

Charge forward fearlessly?

Kill everyone, and no one would dare to compete with her anymore!

Nangong Lingyu received the most orthodox imperial princess education, and might inherit the throne in the future,

Therefore, her thoughts had always been open and honest, charging forward fearlessly.

A monarch can lose, but absolutely cannot play dirty!

And Shen Mo rolled his eyes.

Of course it's useful, he can cut leeks!

He patiently explained to Nangong Lingyu, "Think about it, you recruited me back, am I amazing or not?"

When he said this, he quickly added, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I don't just have two talents!"

Nangong Lingyu was still looking at Shen Mo strangely, thinking, how can someone praise themselves so shamelessly,

But hearing Shen Mo say this, her expression immediately became serious as she nodded and said, "Amazing!"

Three talents, that is absolutely very amazing!

"That's right!"

Shen Mo said, "Since I'm so amazing, won't your Imperial Sisters, Imperial Brothers, and Imperial Elder Brothers try every means to deal with you?"

Nangong Lingyu nodded somewhat confusedly, "Yes."

She always felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"That's right!" Shen Mo clapped his hands and laughed, "Since I'm so amazing, and your Imperial Sisters, Imperial Elder Brothers, and Imperial Brothers want to deal with you so much, don't you need to bide your time and amaze everyone with a single move?"

"Is that how your art of emperorship teaches you?"

"To confront others head-on?"

"You must hide your true intentions and kill with one blow!"

Shen Mo casually struck out with a palm, and instantly, a towering ancient tree nearby crashed down.

And Nangong Lingyu's face was hazy, as she nodded and said, "Yes. You're right."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Mo had already patted her shoulder with a grin, looking like good buddies, and said, "So, it's settled happily."

"Oh, what kind of things should a pretty boy pay attention to here?"

"How should I address you?"

"Darling little master or Princess Your Highness or something?"

Shen Mo and Nangong Lingyu walked further and further away.

And after they had walked far away, Nangong Lingyu finally reacted...

Wait?!

Why should they bide their time and kill with one blow when they are so powerful?!

Wouldn't it be better to just kill with one blow directly?!

Where is the logic?!

Where is the intelligence?!

However, at this time, she had already agreed to Shen Mo's plan, so it was not good to go back on her word.

Most importantly... it wouldn't be bad to use this to probe the truth about her Imperial Sister and the others...
