"Have you agreed to my brother's bet?" Zhirou asked curiously.
"No."
Princess Yunshang shook her head and continued: "How can marriage be used as a bet?"
Zhirou seemed a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, she breathed a sigh of relief. If cousin Yun Shang really agreed to her brother's bet, her brother would definitely lose. By then, her brother would really have no hope of marrying her.
Yunshang is my cousin.
"I'm going out for a trip, do you want to come with me?"
Princess Yunshang stood up and walked towards the door while talking.
"Go, why don't you go!"
Zhirou followed soon after, with an expectant look on her face.
The two beauties went downstairs together, and then walked to the kitchen of the inn.
There is a passage connecting the lobby on the first floor of the inn to the kitchen, and there are several rooms on both sides of the passage. The waiters or cooks who work at Wuyin Inn such as Xing Nan and Lehua rest in these rooms.
It was already dark at this time, and there was no one in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, but there were two luminous pearls emitting light, which was considered very bright.
Princess Yunshang had lived in Wuyin Inn for a long time before. Although she rarely walked around during this period, she also knew where Xing Nan lived.
After the two beauties arrived at the door, Princess Yunshang gently knocked on the door.
Xing Nan was meditating in the house, studying the subtleties of the art of transmutation, when he heard a knock on the door and immediately woke up.
"Brother Le is so serious. If he has something to do, he doesn't talk about it in broad daylight, but he comes here to torment me in the middle of the night!"
Xing Nan didn't clean up the room either. He took two or three steps to get behind the door, unlocked the door, and then opened the door.
"Well……"
Xing Nan obviously did not expect Princess Yun Shang to come at this time. After being surprised for a while, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Xing Nan has met Her Royal Highness Princess Yun Shang!"
"This is not the imperial city. I am here to represent Piaoyun Academy. I am just a student. You don't need to be so polite, and you don't need to call me Your Highness Princess. Just call me Yunshang."
Princess Yunshang had a smile in her eyes, she was elegant and graceful, and she didn't have the slightest air of a princess.
"Why, don't you invite us to come in and sit down?"
Zhirou took a step away from Princess Yunshang, also smiling.
To be honest, Zhirou originally thought that the waiter who once rescued Princess Yunshang should be Lehua, because Lehua looked more mature, while Xing Nan still had a bit of childishness on his face.
"Please come in, please come in!"
Xing Nan's room was not big, and the door was naturally not wide either. His body alone was enough to block the door. After listening to Zhirou's words, he felt that he had neglected the distinguished guest and quickly got out of the way.
"Why does it smell weird?"
As soon as they entered the house, Princess Yunshang and Zhirou felt a fishy smell blowing into their nostrils. Zhirou blocked the tip of her nose with one finger and asked with a frown.
It would be strange if there is no strange smell. There are a lot of flesh, blood, muscles and bones of monsters hidden under Xing Nan's bed. Even if he asked the cook for some antiseptic and deodorizing medicine, it would be impossible for them to stop smelling at all.
Xing Nan is used to living in this kind of environment, so she doesn't feel anything unusual. However, Princess Yunshang and Zhirou are both very delicate. The places where they usually stay are clean, so naturally they are not aware of the smell in Xing Nan's house.
Very uncomfortable.
In fact, in addition to the strange smell, Xing Nan's room was not only narrow, but also a bit messy.
His wooden bed takes up most of the entire room, and there are a lot of inn sundries piled up in the empty space. Plus, he usually doesn't have the time to clean it up, making the entire room not like a bedroom at all.
, more like a storage room where miscellaneous items are stored.
Judging from this room alone, Zhirou already regretted following Princess Yunshang here.
"I usually don't have time to clean up, so I made you two laugh, so please sit down..."
As soon as the word "sit" was written, Xing Nan's face became even more embarrassed, because there were no chairs in his room at all. Is it possible for the two beauties to sit on his bed?
It's still summer, and Xing Nan's bed only has a hard board and a hard pillow, which is pretty clean.
"Haha, I won't sit down anymore. I came here just to see you."
Princess Yunshang estimated that Zhirou would never sit on Xing Nan's bed, and it was not easy for her to sit alone, so she smiled and waved her hand, and then said: "The Yin Demon Blood Seal hasn't happened yet, right?"
"If it happens, Your Highness may not be able to see Xing Nan again."
Xing Nan didn't care whether the two beauties were sitting or not. He forced himself to brush away his embarrassed expression and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to care. The Yin Demon Blood Seal can't do anything to Xing Nan. You will start the competition tomorrow morning. Xing Nan wishes your Highness the best."
, I wish our Piaoyun Kingdom a great victory!"
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're here!"
Just as Princess Yunshang was finishing her polite greetings and was about to leave with Zhirou, a young man who looked equally young stood at the door with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
Princess Yunshang and Zhirou did not close the door when they came in, so the young man could see everything in the room, and the three people in the room could also see him.
After the young monk complained, he was about to enter the room, but as soon as he crossed the threshold with one foot, he suddenly frowned and took that foot back again.
He might have smelled something strange in the house.
If people don't want to come in, Xing Nan will naturally not beg people to come in with a shy face. He just pretends that he doesn't see anyone at the door.
"Brother, we just left the room and it wasn't time for tea. Why have you been looking for us for so long?"
Zhirou also took the opportunity to leave the room and asked in confusion.
The person who came was none other than Zhirou's younger brother Duan Rui.
"Sister, the game will start tomorrow, we should sit down and discuss it together."
Duan Rui did not answer his sister's question, but still seemed to have a strong opinion. However, he was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a heroic face, a well-proportioned and strong figure, and he was wearing a chain silver armor. At first glance,
Just like a young general.
"I don't know how many times we have discussed it. What else is there to discuss? With cousin Yunshang, a spiritual master here, we will definitely win!"
Zhirou patted her brother on the shoulder, and then said with a hint of contentment: "In this competition, you boys will be reduced to foils. The main force of our Piaoyun Kingdom this time is us girls!"
"We still need to discuss it. There is something you don't know yet. Just now, that boy Li Da said that his old injury has recurred and he will not be able to enter the Forest of Beasts tomorrow."
Duan Rui laughed bitterly at first, and then said with a look of helplessness and anger: "That kid Li Da is also hateful. His old injury didn't show up sooner or later, but it happened at this juncture. The date for the start of the game has been set.
It’s too late to go back to the academy to find someone to replace you. We can only dispatch four people tomorrow, which is extremely disadvantageous to us. Even if cousin Yunshang is outstanding, we may not be able to win the first place. After all, there are no students from the other three countries.
It’s not like there are no spiritual masters.”
"I've said it before, that guy Li Da is as unreliable and as timid as his father. It's a pity that God gave him such a good physique!"
Zhirou's face became a little ugly. She looked at Princess Yunshang and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Princess Yunshang's eyebrows knitted together. After pondering for a moment, she said: "Even if there are many people, it will not be easy for us to win the championship. Now there is one less person. If we want to win the first place, I am afraid we have to take risks and kill more people."
Just add three more level three monsters, if you’re not careful..."
Princess Yunshang did not finish her words, but it could be seen from her face that the news brought by Duan Rui surprised and disappointed her.
Suddenly, Zhirou looked at Xing Nan and said: "It is too difficult to find a monk who is similar in age to us and is not bad at the moment, but we can consider letting him take Li Da's place."
Princess Yunshang's eyes also lit up.
Duan Rui squinted his eyes and looked at Xing Nan, then waved his hands and said: "No, he is just a running boy. Even if he has some skills, he may not be able to fight with monsters. Taking him into the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts together will not only
It will implicate us, and I'm afraid it will cost him his life."
Although Xing Nan was unconvinced, he would not make any pointless arguments.
"When we enter the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts tomorrow, in order to prevent cheating, no one is allowed to bring stored magic weapons. We will definitely be able to kill many monsters by then. Those monsters' valuable things such as inner elixirs also need to be carried by someone.
Okay. I think even if he can't participate in the fierce battle, he can help us reduce unnecessary burdens. One more person always has more strength. After all, it is difficult for us to find other suitable candidates now." Zhirou insisted.
typical.
Duan Rui and Zhirou both looked at Princess Yunshang, she had to make the decision on this matter.
"Are you willing to enter the Forest of Beasts with us to participate in the competition?" Princess Yunshang looked at Xing Nan.
"This... you have to ask the landlady. If she agrees, I have no objection." Xing Nan replied with a very casual look.
So, Princess Yunshang went to the second floor to meet with the proprietress. The answer given by the proprietress was... He makes the decision on his own affairs. Why do you ask me? You all went to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to compete, and there is no business in the inn. If he wants
Just let him go.
In this way, Xing Nan has become the young and handsome representative of Piaoyun Kingdom, and he will enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest to hunt monsters tomorrow morning.
As for the issue of identity, Princess Yunshang said that Xing Nan is a student of Piaoyun Academy. Who can prove that he is not a representative of the other three countries?
The competition will start early tomorrow morning. Representatives from the other three countries have no time to check. They will not care about an inn waiter participating in the competition. After all, Piaoyun College does not have one more person for this purpose, and has also replaced one.
As a strong master, this is better than delaying the start of the game and waiting for Piaoyun Academy to send elite students over.
Early the next morning, all the young heroes from the four kingdoms arrived at the entrance of Kirigakure Inn. They each gathered together and entered the Forest of Beasts together when the game started.
Such a competition naturally needs to be supervised and refereed by a strong person. For the sake of fairness, this strong person cannot be from any of the four kingdoms.
The master responsible for supervising and refereeing this competition is said to come from the powerful Holy Dragon Empire. Although he looks older than the young heroes of the Four Kingdoms, he is definitely less than thirty years old, and he is still wearing
Dressed in brocade embroidered with dragons, he looks extraordinary and obviously has a very high status in the Holy Dragon Empire.
