Chapter 440: Go Crazy First to Show Respect, You Can Do Whatever You Want

Chi Yanzi fell into deep thought: It would be unsafe to rush in rashly. We should discuss and make plans before reaching the Demon City.

But before Chi Yanzi could come to his senses, Long Qi started yelling with his mouth wide open.

“What’s there to plan for? We’ll figure it out when the time comes.”

That’s right, Lingxiang often says this, so there’s nothing wrong with him doing this.

Long Qi stiffened his neck, looking righteous.

Even if you are not right, you still have to be strong.

Ah Dao could not hide his disgust: “Brother, do you think the Demon Tribe’s capital is your home? You really don’t know what you are talking about and don’t know how to live or die…”

Long Qi looked disdainful – what plan is needed? Plans can’t keep up with changes! Adapt to circumstances!

Isn’t Lingxiang often like this?

But how could Lingxiang be so flexible now? She was just talking nonsense, making trouble, and acting recklessly…

Ever since the Demon Lord gave the order to detain Lingxiang in Yinxu Palace, there has always been a constant stream of people “serving” her. Although they appear to be respectful on the surface, the feeling of being under surveillance is not pleasant at all.

What’s more, there is also Yinghuan. After Lingxiang was finally rejected by the Demon Lord, she had to rush to “care” for her. She was sarcastic on the surface and sneering in secret, which made her feel proud.

Lingxiang could do nothing about it, because she was now a plucking phoenix. She could just treat it as if the old crow had become a spirit and let her be.

The Demon Lord just pretended that the spiritual incense didn’t exist and did what he had to do. He just dimmed the candlelight in the Yinxu Hall a little bit. It couldn’t be said to be brilliant, but it was not as lifeless as before.

You know what, this is the first time Lingxiang has seen the entire interior of the Yinxu Palace. It is so empty that it is totally different from the imperial palace described in the storybooks.

In terms of grandeur, the main hall has a high roof and is spacious and spacious inside, which is quite grand, but a few scattered objects make it look a little withered.

The entire hall was supported by several pillars. There was only a black imperial chair in the hall. Under the chair was a long dark red carpet that led directly to the hall door. In the corner was a cloud-patterned dust-penetrating mirror, and there was nothing else.

Now, we just add some spiritual scented items, but it’s not much better.

However, all this did not affect Lingxiang. She was busy making elixirs and boiling medicine, not caring about the eyes of others.

The gurgling sound and heat from the medicine furnace, coupled with the incense sticks that seemed to be busy circling around the table, added a bit of vitality amid the interweaving of fireworks, forming a sharp contrast with the loneliness in the hall.

Could it be that Lingxiang just gave in like that?

Oh! How is that possible?

If Lingxiang would just sit there and wait for death, she would no longer be Lingxiang.

“Oh, this, this, this…” Lingxiang suddenly exclaimed, as if something big had happened, and she was regretting and sighing.

Hearing the voice, Yinghuan leaned over with a fake concern: “Princess, why are you shouting so loudly? It’s really beneath your dignity.” Then she leaned closer and whispered: “You damn girl, I’m not dead yet, don’t even think about making trouble!”

“Just now General Yiyou reprimanded me for being so unbecoming, so I tried to be more careful, but the more careful I was, the more mistakes I made. I accidentally put the last ingredient in.” Lingxiang said with a worried look on her face, and she muttered “loudly” at a loss, “I don’t know if it will affect the pill. That’s the last bit of black ginseng I brought from the human world…”

What this means is that this is the last batch of life-extending pills.

Hearing this, Yinghua cursed inwardly: After refining the elixir for so long, how could there be mistakes? Why are you pretending to be innocent and putting the blame on me!

But even though she was extremely angry, Yinghua did not dare to show it at all. She could only pretend to be worried: “Princess, why are you so careless? It’s really…”

This is pushing the blame back again, but Lingxiang is not a pushover.

“That’s true. It’s all my fault for not paying attention and only caring about my appearance,” Lingxiang said, wiping her eyes pretentiously. “It’s not a big deal if this material is gone. I just don’t know if it will affect the final efficacy of the medicine…”

Oops! Fell into a trap!

Yinghuan suddenly became alert, but Lingxiang just glanced at her and didn’t give her a chance to talk back.

“Alas… After all, this is a pill for the Demon Lord to take. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble General Yiyou again…”

Lingxiang looked helpless, but Yinghuan almost exploded with anger.

You know it’s annoying, but you still involve me!

“Princess, you have been immersed in alchemy for many years. I think there must be a way to save yourself. Why worry so much?”

Yinghuan still wanted to save herself, but how could Lingxiang let her go?
Just now he said that it was his own carelessness, and now he is praising me again. Doesn’t the implication of his words mean that if this furnace of pills cannot be saved, it will be all his responsibility?
Ha! What a joke!

Lingxiang sighed again: “It’s not that there is no way, but the furnace is about to be opened, and I don’t know if it’s too late. After all, the Demon Lord once said that a small mistake can lead to a big mistake.”

This is not nonsense. After all, if there is any mistake with elixirs, it could be fatal.

Although Lingxiang doesn’t mind the Demon Lord’s death, she still has to explain the pros and cons of the matter clearly and clear herself. That way it will be more interesting to watch the show, right?
“Your Highness is right. I will not bother you any more.”

Yinghuan pretended to smile and prepared to leave, how could Lingxiang let her go?

“Look at the smoke from the furnace. It looks like the elixir is about to come out. General, you want to leave now. Are you unwilling to test the elixir for the Demon Lord?”

The sound of the incense was not loud, but it could be heard clearly in every corner of the hall, and the Demon Lord was no exception.

The Demon Lord only glanced at Yinghuan, then went to discuss matters with the Grand Tutor again. After all, Lord Wumin had left and taken many people with him, and the position of the Grand Tutor could not remain vacant forever.

But this unintentional glance almost frightened Yinghuan to death.

Yinghuan first paid attention to the expression of the Demon Lord, and when she saw that he did not look unhappy, she felt relieved a little.

Little demon girl, you actually want to sow discord! Who is the Demon Lord? How could he be fooled by your words? Then she leaned close to Lingxiang and whispered viciously: “I advise you not to play tricks. Even if you try your best, it will be in vain. If you learn to be smart now, I will spare your body for your obedience today if you get into trouble in the future.”

Wow! It’s true! Do you think her Lingxiang was scared?

“I am truly very grateful! General, you are so kind and I would like to thank you in advance.” Lingxiang also responded in a low voice, not afraid of Yinghuan’s threat at all.

Just as she finished speaking, the exquisite stove lid made a noise, which startled Yinhuan’s heart.

“Oh~ It’s time to collect the pills.” Lingxiang said loudly and walked towards Linglong.

I didn’t expect that this furnace would produce four life-extending pills. It’s really unprecedented.

“Since the general is unwilling to test the medicine for the Demon Lord, I can only reluctantly try it myself.” Lingxiang said with a sad face, “I just don’t know if the general can replace me and make pills for the Demon Lord in the future if he dies after taking it.”

This……

This damn girl is so vicious, she is trying to force me to death!

Yinghuan’s clothes were immediately soaked with sweat, and she even forgot how to refute for a moment.

She really didn’t want to try that elixir, because who knew what Lingxiang had added to it? But if she didn’t try it, she would be bitten to death by this dead girl in front of the Demon Lord!

Just when Yinghuan was in a dilemma, Lingxiang picked up a life-extending pill and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

“What are you doing!”

The Demon Lord quickly stepped forward, picked up Lingxiang and pinched her cheeks.

But Lingxiang had already swallowed the pill.

Lingxiang broke away from the Demon Lord and said helplessly, “What can I do? General Yiyou is unwilling to share the responsibility, so I will have to test the medicine on myself.”

Murder and kill!
Alarmist!

“That’s not the case, Your Majesty!” Yinghuan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt forward, “Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation…”

Crazy! This damn girl is really crazy!
But the Demon Lord would never give Yinghuan a chance to speak. He flicked his long sleeves, and Yinghuan immediately flew out and hit the beam heavily.

“Princess, you’d better be okay, otherwise you won’t survive!” the Demon Lord shouted angrily.

Huanhuan was very sad, but Lingxiang was extremely proud. However, she dared not show it on her face, for fear that the Demon Lord would notice something.

Lingxiang would naturally be fine, after all, there was nothing wrong with the recipe, and what he just said was purely an attempt to harm Huanhuan.

But Ling Xiang was not doing it without a purpose. Although the recipe was correct, there were still some tweaks made, but they were never mentioned.

If she didn’t say it, it wouldn’t be considered a lie, right? And she did it openly, because these laymen didn’t know how to make alchemy.

Blame her?
There’s no use blaming her.

If you are stupid, you need to study more, otherwise you deserve to be plotted against.

“Hey, why worry, Demon Lord? My life is just a pill. Even if there is a small mistake, it will not kill me for a while, and it will not affect your future pill refining.”

Lingxiang sighed in resignation, causing the demon lord to frown. He didn’t care about Lingxiang’s address to him, and wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He just let go of Lingxiang and sat back down, looking at Lingxiang from time to time.

Oh! Are you scared now? If I’m gone, what will happen to your life-saving pill?
Although she had not originally planned to refine the Life-Rescuing Pill, she was just happy now. If the Demon Lord had not been there, she would have laughed out loud.

Yinghuan stared viciously at Lingxiang who was jumping happily and busy. If eyes could kill, Lingxiang would have been wiped out long ago.

But Lingxiang was fearless. She looked at Yinghuan provocatively and even made a face, which made Yinghuan even more furious.

You don’t know what’s good for you. Just wait for me, I will kill you sooner or later.

Just as Yinghuan was thinking of all kinds of vicious means, a guard walked quickly into the hall.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, two teams of Taoist priests have arrived in the city and are heading towards the palace!”

“What?!” The Grand Tutor slammed the table and stood up. “Where is the Grand Sima?”

“The Grand Marshal has led his army outside the palace, ready to fight the enemy.”

The Grand Tutor’s expression eased a little, but his worry remained unchanged.

Fifteen years ago, the Demon Lord insisted on attacking Yuanqing, and the Grand Tutor was very opposed to it. Three years ago, he did not agree at all. Now, he has been beaten back.

If it was in the past, I would not be afraid, but this group of Taoists attacked when Wu Min Jun rebelled, and the two great generals were not around…

How could it be such a coincidence?
Could it be that Wu Min Jun is colluding with others both inside and outside? Or…

The Grand Master looked at Lingxiang who was pretending to be busy, and the latter also looked up at the right time.

“Oh! There’s trouble with the Taoist priest!” Lingxiang covered her face with her hands, as if she was really surprised. “There was one group before, and now there are two groups. What should I do…”

The old Da Situ narrowed his eyes: It seems that I am right, it is this little girl, but this girl is sharp-tongued and now there is no evidence, it is not easy to hold her accountable.

“What does the Grand Master mean by looking at me? Is he doubting me?” Lingxiang said innocently, “Instead of arguing here, you should think about how to deal with those Taoists. They really don’t know the importance of the matter!”

Lingxiang looked so disappointed that Da Situ was so angry that his beard flew up.

You little brat, do I need to tell you anything?
The Grand Master glanced at the Demon Lord on the throne. The latter said nothing, just sat there quietly, his face obscured by shadows, and no one knew what he was thinking.

That’s all! This damn girl is right. I think the Demon Lord has something in mind. As for this girl, I will hold her accountable after I solve the current problem…
