Chapter 9
"At least she admits you are good-looking," the village chief suppressed a laugh, comforting Mo Long. "Miss Lingxi possesses exceptional skills, able to take on a hundred opponents. With the Dragon Tooth Blade in hand, in case... I mean, in case anything goes wrong and you find yourselves trapped in the fiery barrier, you can still fight back with the Dragon Tooth Blade."
In that year, the Third Prince of Beihai was betrothed to the Grand Princess of Donghai, and this Dragon Tooth Blade was the foremost item in the betrothal gifts
Lingxi exclaimed in surprise, "What happened next?"
The outer guards of the elephant courtyard are responsible for the perimeter, preventing spectators from causing trouble, while the inner guards do not allow anyone to enter or exit. The inner guards are tasked with overseeing the beast fights, with two shifts alternating, entering and exiting twice a day. The village chief pointed to a recessed wall in the elephant courtyard, saying, "The entrance and exit are right here; you can enter directly from here."
Xiahou Feng wore a look of dissatisfaction
"Dragon Clan?" Xiahou Fengqi asked, "Isn't she a mermaid? Old man, do you think she is related to the Dragon Clan?"
Mo Ji furrowed her brows and said, "What are you looking at me for!"
Disliking oneself is one thing, but being disliked by her is another matter entirely. Mo Long raised an eyebrow in disbelief: "Do you still feel wronged?"
Let us create a diversion and disguise ourselves as guards to blend in.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Mo Ji resignedly sighed, "Alright, alright, I will steal the key."
The trusted general of Ji Guizi, a thousand-legged centipede spirit. Mo Long recalled something and exclaimed, I remember last time a sika deer was injured by him, and after being poisoned, it swelled up to the size of an elephant
It is indeed difficult to say. The fierce fire wall of the Season Return is derived from the Sweet Abyss, which is a place of bathing under the ten suns, extremely intense and scorching. The eternal ice facing the flames of the ten suns is akin to using one's own spear against one's own shield; even I cannot make a definitive statement on this matter. The East Village elder continued to ramble: "At present, there is no way to test it... Young lady, you should keep it safe for now, and I will think it over more thoroughly. Come, come, let us continue to see how to get that bear out."
Dong Li seemed to have thought this through long ago, saying: "You will follow Mo Long."
Dong Lichang turned to Mo Long: "Once the door is opened, the guards will quickly notice and then report back to Cui Qianmo. You must seize the opportunity to come out before Cui Qianmo closes the Dan Wall"
Where should it be placed
Although Mo Long is exceptionally intelligent, at this moment he finds himself at a loss for words and can only pretend not to have heard her. He gestures with his fingers as if tracing a terrain map, adopting a pose of deep contemplation: "At the gate positions of Xun and Dui, there is no firelight barrier set up; I have seen with my own eyes that the beast fights can enter and exit freely."
"Who is Cui Qianmo?" Lingxi inquired
Before Mo Ji could speak, Xiahou Feng shouted, "That won't do, I do not agree!"
Her lie is truly too clumsy; how could she obtain the Dragon Tooth Blade and not recognize a member of the Dragon Clan? Mo Long raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did you steal the Dragon Tooth Blade?"
Mo Long glared at him, and without even thinking, immediately refused
Then, he looked towards Mo Ji
Once Mo Long left, there was no longer any excitement to be seen in this matter, and Mo Ji and Xia Hou Feng also dispersed. Dong Li let out a long sigh, feeling helpless, and walked away with the support of his cane. ... Only Ling Xi remained in the hall, gazing intently at the small elephant on the table ...
Xiahou Feng let out a sigh and looked at Mo Long: "That Long Ge..."
"You are a person of the grass and trees; here, only you can withstand his poison." The village head of Dongli contemplated, "You might try using your charm to steal the copper key."
Lingxi did not know how to explain it, so he could only vaguely say: "It was there, so I just used it."
Upon hearing this name, Xiahou Feng immediately displayed a look of disgust, rubbing his arms as if he had broken out in goosebumps. Mo Long supported his forehead, clearly indicating that this person was not easy to deal with
"It is easy to go in, but what about coming out? I still have to bring that bear with me," Mo Long asked immediately. "How do the guards of Xiangting enter and exit?"
"Of course, it is dead, with pus oozing all over the ground. Anyone who carelessly gets contaminated will fall ill for three days," Mo Long sighed, "This old thing is quite toxic."
Mo Long sighed deeply, saying: "For the sake of Mo Ji, I have even put myself at risk; I should have never bothered to bring you back in the first place"
Lingxi furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Does the beauty trap still require a head pat? Isn't it enough to just be good-looking?"
Lingxi was taken aback, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shook her head and said: "No, it’s fine. I don’t recognize anyone from the Dragon Clan at all"
It is still the first time I have heard someone evaluate him in such a manner, while Xiahou Feng and Mo Ji beside him laughed heartily, reveling in schadenfreude
Yet, Mo Ji insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, fixating on Lingxi, and asked directly: "What is your relationship with the Dragon Clan? How did you come to possess this sword?" It was just that she could not keep her words to herself, and Dong Li Zhang glared at Mo Ji.
Xiahou Feng tilted his neck and said: "Anyway, Mo Ji cannot go. If we are to use a beauty trap, we still have her!" He pointed to Lingxi. "If it really doesn't work, let Long Ge dress as a woman. After all, Long Ge has a delicate appearance, and dressing up would be enough to pass for a real woman."
"Didn’t Brother Long just say this matter is settled?" Xiahou Feng asked curiously, "You also said everyone has dispersed, so why is it now..." He did not finish his sentence because he was glared at by the village head of Dongli, which made him hesitate to continue.
"The wall is usually made of clay, but when a copper key is used, the wall will open."
Seeing Lingxi hesitating, although Dongli still had lingering doubts in his heart, he probably had a general understanding and thus did not pursue the matter further
Will Long be waiting at the wall when I open the door? Or do I need to use a communication spell to inform him?" asked Xiahou Feng
There is only one copper spoon, and it is with the steward Cui Qianmo of the Xiangting.
Do not ! ''
It was taken, not stolen
Do you know what a beauty trap is? Mo Long looked at her incredulously, saying, "Old Yan San was thrown to the ground just because he wanted to touch your hair."
Xiahou Feng hurriedly wanted to explain: "I... I didn't mean it that way, I meant to say..."
Mo Long stared at the Dragon Tooth Blade, the cold light on the blade reflecting in the depths of his eyes
After a moment of hesitation, I changed my words: "It was given to me by my sister"
I do not want to either! Lingxi also expressed dissatisfaction, "Why should I follow him?"
There is no way, the boy is outgoing. Dong Li comforted him
Dong Li, with a slightly awkward expression, impatiently waved his hand and said, "I was just guessing."
Unexpectedly, Dong Li Chang actually knew the origin of the Dragon Tooth Blade, and Lingxi felt uncomfortable and wanted to retract her hand
Xiahou Feng was not particularly concerned about Lingxi's true identity; he curiously leaned over to examine the Longya Blade: "It looks quite ordinary, so small, can it break the barrier?"
"Enough, enough... everyone disperse, stop talking nonsense..." Dong Lichang glared at Mo Long reproachfully, stood up intending to collect the blueprints, but then heard a loud bang from the west wing, the sound of the door being slammed open.
Mo Long propped his head up, gazing at him with a sense of grievance, remaining silent
"Why don't you go?" Dong Li looked at him impatiently, "Do they even think highly of you?"
"Sister is just sister." She spoke ambiguously, "In any case, the Dragon Tooth Blade was not stolen, as for other matters, please do not inquire further."
... ... that is the place. Lingxi is not good at fabricating lies, yet refuses to divulge anything.
"You are such a delicate person, I won't follow you," Lingxi candidly expressed her thoughts, "Just a gentle fall and you cry out as if the sky is falling, all show and no substance."
Having the key makes things easier said Xiahou Feng in a relaxed tone Just steal the key and it will be fine
Xiahou Feng leaned in to take a closer look and remarked, "What is depicted above is a red wall, without a door"
Who is your sister
I am here!" Lingxi suddenly said aloud, "The beauty trap does not require spiritual power, right? Then I will take care of it.
Lingxi was furious: "Who is the little brat?! Who is being foolish?! So what if I have no spiritual power, let's have a fight! Let's see who ends up on the ground!"
After a long period of silence, Lingxi suddenly asked: "What about me? What should I do?"
Lingxi casually slashed a few times, the cold light was piercing, and a chill immediately spread throughout the room
Lingxi strode into the hall, her eyes shimmering with a faint glow, clearly having just cried in secret. "This Dragon Tooth Blade is forged from the eternal ice of the North Sea, I think, since water can extinguish fire, perhaps it can deal with the firelight barrier?" She extended her right hand, and in her palm, a brilliant white light shone—the Dragon Tooth Blade, a curved dagger, was entirely pure white and lustrous, without a single flaw, as if crafted from the finest porcelain clay.
Dong Li Chang vetoed, saying: "What kind of person is Cui Qianmo? His gaze is more venomous than that of an eagle. Such petty tricks as misdirection cannot deceive him at all; in the end, the consequences will be even more dire."
"Of course, I was lying on the ground! Is there any need to say that?" Mo Long rubbed his forehead, not wanting to engage in a war of words with her. He sighed deeply, got up, and walked outside, "I’m going back to my room to lie down... Old man, this matter cannot stand!"
Upon hearing this, Lingxi was immediately taken aback and turned to look at Mo Long: "Forget it? ... Is it because I lack spiritual power?"
Donglichang turned and said: "Xiaofeng, you are the fastest! As soon as Moji gets the key, you go and unlock the Dan wall, then return the key without anyone noticing. After that, you and Moji should find an excuse to leave immediately."
Since the Dragon Tooth Blade is a betrothal gift, it must be placed within the Water Palace of the East Sea. If you do not recognize anyone from the Dragon Clan, how can you obtain it
You ... ... am I good-looking but useless? ! '' Mo Long was filled with anger.
"How did it end up in your hands?" Dong Lichang pressed Lingxi for answers
"You must never use the sound transmission technique! Remember! Remember! The entire wall of the elixir is mixed with fragments of the resonant stone. Once you use the sound transmission technique, the whole wall will echo your voice." Dong Li Chang cautioned him, "At that time, don't say it was Ji Guizi; the entire Changliu City will know what you are saying."
... ...
At the moment he saw this object, Dong Li Chang gasped in shock: "You... how could you possess this item?"
"Treasure? What is the origin of this thing?" asked Xiahou Feng.
Dong Li Changsheng was afraid that she would question him next, so he quickly interjected: "It is useless; the gate is made of black iron, and the wall-passing technique cannot penetrate it. When the beasts enter and exit, the arena is also separated by a barrier... wait!" He suddenly understood Mo Long's meaning, "Are you saying that before the barrier is activated, we can use the invisibility technique to blend into the arena and sneak into the beast room while the beasts are entering and exiting?"
Moji became suspicious: "So, you want to help her because of the Dragon Clan, right?"
Xiahou Feng and Mo Ji were both taken aback upon hearing this
Mo Long glared at Dong Li Chang, regardless of whether Ling Xi was present: "No way! This brat is utterly foolish, lacking even spiritual power, and all that's left is brute strength. Not only will he hold us back, but he might even end up getting me killed!"
So impressive! Mo Long reached out to take a look, but she shot him a wary and uncomfortable glance, avoiding his hand
