214: : Pure love god of war Ye Cheng, Minotaur warrior Lu Qian.
"You mean to say that you disguised yourself as Chen Tai and entered the Great Xia Imperial Palace just to find Lu Gan, suspecting that he's been hiding in here or is being imprisoned here?"
"Correct."
"And then, you planned to sneak in during the Human Emperor's birthday banquet, fish in troubled waters, and while looking for the person, take the opportunity to snatch some benefits."
"Correct."
"You possess a divine pupil ability, discovered something wrong with this place, saw Weird Aliens swaggering about the palace, and suspect the Human Emperor has been corrupted by the Weird?"
"Correct."
Facing Ye Cheng's inquiry, you kept a straight face and spoke with a mix of truth and lies, all to reach an alliance with her.
Right now, you have confirmed that you have entered the trap and are about to face the siege of Lao Deng Chen Xuan and the Weird Empress. Knowing you are no match for them, your only chance of survival is the Ye Cheng before you.
Your "Heavenly Official's Blessing" has been shattered, and you have no protection left.
To survive, you must rely on her "Destiny."
Facing your words, Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow and nodded, noncommittal. She didn't say whether she believed you or not, a reaction that was somewhat beyond your expectations.
Your heart trembled; she didn't seem to care much about what you said...
You expressed your intention to cooperate, hoping to overcome the difficulties, and asked about her purpose for coming in...
"I came in to find you..." Ye Cheng said, her words shocking.
"Ever since you wanted me to come to the Great Xia Imperial Palace last time, I knew you would most likely come too, so I came in early to wait for you..."
Hiss!
Your scalp tingled. How could she guess so accurately? Could it be that she also has a way to foresee the future?
If you hadn't seen the future fragments, you would have feared that Ye Cheng was in cahoots with Lao Deng Chen Xuan.
But the current situation seems a bit ominous...
Could she know something...
Seeing you fall silent, Ye Cheng suddenly spoke again: "Of course, I came here to get some things too..."
You suddenly noticed that Ye Cheng's right hand had reached behind her back at some point, seemingly grasping something. Your heart instantly tightened...
Damn it! Could that knife in the back in the future be stabbed by her...
Lao Deng Chen Xuan and the others just happened to pick up the scraps...
You also subconsciously reached your hand behind you...
Swish!
She suddenly pulled out a black cloth bag from behind her back.
???
Right in front of you, she slowly opened the bag, and what came into view was a bruised "dead head" and a golden bead...
!!!
Why is it this thing...
Seeing that Ye Cheng was here to get this thing, not you, you secretly breathed a sigh of relief. You didn't want to be facing enemies on three sides...
"So painful... so painful..."
The "dead head" in the bag suddenly let out a painful cry, then seemed to smell something, its gaze fixated on you: "You smell so good... so familiar... it's..."
Slap!
Realizing this thing might have recognized you, you slapped the dead head, knocking out several of its teeth, swelling its face, and making its brain buzz...
Seeing this, Ye Cheng didn't say much, assuming you didn't like this thing, so she put it away...
You were silent for a moment, and ultimately chose to invite her to go into the inner palace together, stating you needed to retrieve something there and kill some people along the way. Ye Cheng nodded and agreed to you...
"Alright, I'll help you."
Because you were wearing the face of "Chen Tai," even if the Imperial Guards saw you along the way, they dared not stop you. Ye Cheng transformed into a palace maid and followed behind you...
But as you walked, you kept feeling that Ye Cheng behind you was always staring at you, giving you a creepy feeling...
Perhaps it was the trauma from the last simulation that made you feel like she wanted to stab you with a knife.
"Ye Cheng, may I ask what deep hatred you have with that scoundrel Lu Gan..."
You suddenly spoke up, wanting to understand the grievances between the two of you.
However, your inquiry was met with silence for a long time. Only after a while did you hear a faint sentence.
"If something you like is taken away and used by someone else, how would you feel..."
Something... does she mean Liu Ruyue...
You raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Ye Cheng's knot regarding you is Liu Ruyue? Oh no, she's really a Pure Love Warrior...
Did she hate you because you played the role of an NTR warrior?!
"Then what if the other person didn't use it? Would you feel better..."
"Then... I also... don't want it anymore..."
Ye Cheng's faint voice came again.
"I want him... to pay... the price... he deserves..."
Oh no, she's a Pure Love Warrior with mental mysophobia. This grudge is huge...
No wonder in the last simulation, this crazy woman chased and slashed even Liu Ruyue...
"Chen Shi, can I ask you a question?"
"Of course you can."
"Tell me, must one be honest as a person?"
"Yes, but sometimes, a white lie is unavoidable."
You sighed inwardly, having already realized that she clearly guessed something, but didn't seem to be completely certain yet.
It seems like you messed up a bit.
Right now, your only helper might strike you at any moment.
But right now, you have no choice. You can't be sure if revealing your identity right now would cause her to start fighting you immediately.
"It seems I can only stake everything on a desperate move."
Yang God! Come out!
You left behind the main soul, Taiguang, and the Corpse Dog, one of the Seven Souls that governs alertness to crisis, to control the Physical Body of Lu Gan and deal with Ye Cheng...
In your Yang God state, you silently detached from your Physical Body and rushed toward the National Preceptors Mansion deep within the Great Xia Imperial Palace...
Just after your Yang God had left, the figure of a personal palace maid suddenly appeared silently, blocking "Lu Gan": "Your Highness Prince Wu, the Noble Consort wishes to see you."
This personal palace maid was Ying'er, the personal maid of the Noble Consort Chu. Her sudden appearance here meant that the noble lady had received news of your entry...
But right now, your main Yang God had just left, and she arrived immediately; it seemed somewhat weird and coincidental.
"Lu Gan" frowned, but quickly relaxed. According to the memories of "Chen Tai" obtained from previous soul searching, this guy seemed extremely afraid of his own mother. If he didn't go, there was a risk of exposing himself.
Right now, you still need to buy time for the "main body."
Moreover, Ye Cheng was starting to become unstable, so you had to drag others into the mess.
Since that's the case, you might as well go see that mysterious noble lady.
"Alright, I will go see Mother..."
