Chapter 106

Uncle Rong was very efficient in completing the task he was given. He spread the rumors and even exaggerated them. Within a few days, the rumors spread everywhere in the Immortal Palace. It was Huo Xiu who brought the two devils in, and there was a dispute between the two devils for some reason, causing one of them death and another one injury.

Huo Xiu was so angry that he forbade everyone from talking about it, but he couldn’t stop other people’s private conversations and Han Ji, who was always beside him, was indeed missing.

Because of this, Xi Ning also received mission points as reward.

[The plot has slightly shifted, but the probability of the character’s collapse has been reduced by 30%, 5 mission points are rewarded. ]

“Huo Xiu was invited by the Immortal Emperor to have a talk.” The system was also very happy. “Let’s see if he still dares to be so arrogant!”

Xi Ning was still very worried since it was just a few rumors. There was no concrete proof. The Immortal Emperor was at most only suspicious of Huo Xiu. He would not do anything to him, so he still had to be careful of Huo Xiu.

And Huo Xiu probably guessed that he was the one who spread the rumors.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Huo Xiu visited Xi Ning again.

This time he brought a box of rare and exotic treasures, saying that he wanted to apologize to Xi Ning.

Xi Ning didn’t want to see him, so he asked Uncle Rong to just collect the things. Uncle Rong returned back very soon and said, “Your Royal Highness, General Huo said that he wants to see you to talk about the marriage of the spirit clan.”

This matter was related to his mission, so Xi Ning had to go to the front hall to see Huo Xiu in person.

Seeing that Xi Ning was willing to come out, Huo Xiu changed his old attitude and seems to be very eager to see Xi Ning. “Your Royal Highness, it was my fault last time. These are all for you as compensation.”

He brought some impractical but beautiful things, such as the mermaid pearls from the east sea and the golden grasses from the west desert. Xi Ning only took a look at them and then looked away. “General Huo, you don’t need to be so polite, just speak up if you have anything to say to me.”

Huo Xiu put on a serious expression and glanced at Uncle Rong who was standing to the side.

Xi Ning paused for a while, and raised his hand to have Uncle Rong to leave first.

Huo Xiu sat on the chair and spoke leisurely, “I became too busy recently and wasn’t able to show solicitude for Your Royal Highness. About the matter that I spoke to Your Royal Highness that day…… What would your answer be?”

The mission instruction was still on his mission panel. If Xi Ning committed himself to him in order to not marry into the spirit clan, his mission points would be deducted on the spot. Xi Ning bluntly said, “In your dreams.”

As for the marriage of the spirit clan, he would just think of a way at that time. In short, he would never agree to Huo Xiu’s suggestion.

Huo Xiu seemed to have expected Xi Ning’s reaction, and smiled weirdly. “Your Royal Highness, I know that you are temperamental, maybe I have to make you suffer a little bit to become more obedient.”

His words made Xi Ning very uncomfortable. Xi Ning got up and walked out of the hall, not wanting to look at him again.

However, after Xi Ning had taken a few steps, the system alerted him. “Be careful, master!”

Xi Ning dodged subconsciously, but he still felt a pain in his arm. Something pierced into his skin and suddenly his body lost all its strength and was almost unable to stand.

Huo Xiu slowly approached him while raising his hand to put a barrier in the hall to isolate all noises.

After Han Ji died, he was busy taking care of the problems caused by Han Ji’s death and dealing with the Immortal Emperor. After he had dealt with everything, he guessed that Xi Ning was the one who spread the rumors behind his back. Huo Xiu had wanted to have Xi Ning, but now he wanted to break this cat’s limbs directly and make him beg for mercy.

Originally, he wanted to use the Tian Wu Zhu that he got, but Han Ji did not tell him how to use the Tian Wu Zhu before he was dead. However, Han Ji gave him a silver needle for him to use against Xi Ning.

This silver needle was a magic weapon that had poison on it. Even for someone with high spiritual power like Xi Ning, as long as it touched him, he would lose all his spiritual power for a short time, and even produce some reactions that satisfied him.

Huo Xiu couldn’t wait to see the desperate look on Xi Ning’s face. He knew that Xi Ning would probably not agree to his suggestion today, so he had to use force. After everything happened, he would threaten Xi Ning not to speak out. For this reason, he also prepared a magic tool that can record images……

Huo Xiu approached Xi Ning and wanted to grab Xi Ning’s hand. Before he could touch Xi Ning, the magic weapon that Xi Ning was wearing suddenly shone brightly.

Huo Xiu was caught off his guard, the magic energy in the magic weapon directly knocked him to the stone wall in the hall and even caused some cracks on the wall, Huo Xiu’s barrier also disappeared.
