Chapter 211 - The Knot in My Heart
Guo Fan turned over and stood up. He also helped Hee Mengyao up and did not interrupt Qingfu's question.
He looked at Qingfu's expression. His eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety. His small hand gently pinched the corner of his shirt, but on the surface, the little doll was still very calm. Its expression was indifferent and maintained very well.
It did not look like the little robot that did not know how to do housework at all. It even fell to the ground when it swept the floor in the tomb.
... This was true.
When they first met, the little doll was wearing an apron that looked like a maid uniform. In its hand was a broom and a lamp. It looked like a little maid in the tomb. It was diligent and conscientious.
However, as a player, Guo Fan had seen the miniature person clean up this instance dungeon more than once. He continuously destroyed the decorative items that were buried in the Martial Monarch Cave tomb chamber, then secretly collected them and repaired them.
Furthermore, he had also maxed out the favorability of the doll.
This little doll was a typical appearance deception.
On the surface, it looked like a household robot that was necessary for home travel, but in reality, she was clumsy and didn't even know how to sweep the floor.
It was not even as good as Guo Fan's life skills!
Guo Fan even suspected that even if there were no players or other NPCs who discovered this place, it was possible that after thousands of years, this miniature doll would gradually destroy the Martial Emperor's tomb, leaving no traces behind.
The players called Qingfu “The Last Mercury Lamp.” First, it meant that the Puppet Master had died, and a doll like her was already out of print. Second, it meant that the group of old pufferfish played tricks on a character in an ancient manga.
The little doll usually had an expressionless face and a small body. There was also an exquisite face, as well as a hint of mystery and coldness in the darkness of the tomb. It was very compatible with the little doll called Mercury Lamp.
However, this was only because it did not talk to people for a long time. In fact, the heart of the puppet was very soft and wanted to care for it. It was not like Yijun who did not have anything.
“We can see the exit if we head north.” Guo Fan thought in his heart. He reached out and touched the horn on the head of the hammer. Because it had turned into a dragon, the concept of “head” of the hammer had become very big.
But Xinyue might not be able to hold on. Without the support of the Spiritual Energy, even if she went out now, if Three-head Heavenly Devil caught up, it would be equivalent to changing the map and continuing to fight with it. In this way, they would always be at a disadvantage because they would not be able to obtain the Spiritual Energy. However, the Devil Clan could use the devil Qi.
So the Puppet Master was called Ah Jing.
She was probably very happy and perhaps even relieved.
Even in front of the Martial Emperor, Guo Fan was not polite at all. He reached out and touched Qingfu's head. He said in a deep voice, “Senior Martial Emperor, the Strange Beast in this secret realm, and the Devil Clan... What is the meaning of your death? Can you tell me about it? “
Qingfu looked back at him and quietly reached out to grab the corner of his shirt.
One of her worries, which she had been worried about for who knows how many years, had finally been resolved.
“Dong Yuan.” The Martial Emperor on the outside was silent for a moment. Then, he briefly narrated the truth that no one cared about until now.
It was not much different from what Guo Fan had guessed. The Martial Emperor had made a name for himself in the past. He had experienced the loneliness of being lonely at the top, and then he began to think about how to let more ordinary people obtain achievements.
He was a miracle that couldn't be replicated, but he could do more than that. Therefore, the young and vigorous Martial Emperor decided to start researching the cultivation technique.
He wanted to change the aptitude of mortals so that they wouldn't have to suffer such natural “injustice.”
This was undoubtedly a very great idea.
If it was in modern times, it would be a huge project of “contributing to the present era, benefiting Chiaki.”
At the same time, his Puppet Master wife also had a dream she pursued, which was to create a perfect and flawless person. She had a complete understanding of the human body.
Thus, the couple hit it off and started to do their own things.
“But in the end, it was still exposed.” The Martial Emperor's gaze was serene as he looked at this mystic realm that had changed after the passage of time, and was beyond recognition.
Those Strange Beast were indeed their experimental subjects. There was also the demon race. At that time, the human race and the demon race were in a delicate balance. The Martial Emperor's actions were undoubtedly the fuse.
Most importantly, his research on the cultivation technique that changed one's aptitude touched upon the interests of those cultivators who used talent as their capital.
This had directly caused him and his wife to be hunted down and die in the end.
“What about the Devil Clan?” Guo Fan asked.
The Martial Emperor turned around and looked at the palace. “I have thought about it for a long time, but I still decided to capture a living person to study it. The people before me wouldn't dare to do so, I'm afraid that they might accidentally possess me, but I'm not afraid.”
