Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  “You, this little girl, how come you’re so eloquent?! Could it be that if the master is like this, the slave is also like this?”

  “Of course, my family’s miss is the best. Although, I’m not even a tenth of miss, but compared to fifth highness, I’m more than enough.”

  Su Mei wasn’t modest. Every word she said, was a praise of Murong Qi Qi, making Wanyan Kang even more curious. Before, Murong Qi Qi beating Guli already made him very shocked. Now, whenever Su Mei mentioned Murong Qi Qi, she’s so proud. What more did this pair of master and servant not shown yet?

  Although in his heart, he was thinking that, but his mouth was saying otherwise: “Tsk! Don’t talk big! In the end, who is more powerful, we’ll see at the knockout competition!

  “Compete, then compete! Who is afraid of who?!”

  Wanyan Kang’s provocation directly stimulated Su Mei’s desire to win.

  “When a certain someone loses, don’t come crying with snot in your nose! Otherwise, the dignified fifth prince will lose face till your grandmother’s home!”

  “You!”

  Wanyan Kang pointed at Su Mei. He ‘you-ed’ for a long time without saying any following words.

  He’s a prince. Who, when seeing him, was not respectful and licked his butt? This only happened when he encountered Murong Qi Qi and her servant. He can accept the master bullying him. After all, next to Murong Qi Qi, there’s the big mountain Feng Cang. He couldn’t afford to offend that mountain. However, why was Murong Qi Qi’s people also ‘bullying’ him like this? Moreover, why was it, whenever he was bullied, he was still very happy? Could it be that he had the tendency to like being abused?

  Seeing Wanyan Kang was no longer talking, Su Mei smiled proudly. Because of the cold weather, that pretty face was rosy. It looked more attractive. Coupled with that pair of shiny eyes, it made Wanyan Kang lose his soul.

  “What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beauty?!”

  Su Mei glared at him after seeing Wanyan Kang stare at her, making her look more beautiful.

  “I’ve seen beauties, but I’ve never seen such a small pepper like you!”

  Even Wanyan Kang didn’t notice that the sound of his voice had changed a bit. However, just because he didn’t notice, doesn’t mean that the others didn’t hear the change.

  “Small pepper. Su Mei, this name matches you quite well!”

  Murong Qi Qi had been looking at the two. They’ve been bickering the whole way. How come she felt that the way Wanyan Kang looked at Su Mie was quite not right? Could it be that she’s too sensitive?

  “Su Mei? Su Mei……because of laziness, painting the eyebrow (mei). Good name. Good name!”

  Hearing Wanyan Kang say that, Su Mei was so angry her face turned red. Why was it that whenever he said her name, it felt so weird? How come this man was such a smooth talker and at the first look, he looked like a player prince?! A young master who only knows to dally around?! It seems that she needs to give him a little lesson!

  Thinking till here, Su Mei silently came to Wanyan Kang’s back. With a whip, she whipped Wanyan Kang’s horse’s butt. The war horse became frightened. It spread its hooves and rushed forward.

  “Aiya, small pepper, you want to murder, ah?!”

  Wanyan Kang grabbed the reins tightly. Although he was shouting exaggeratedly, but the actions of his hands were not bad. In just a moment, he controlled the manic horse.

  “Next time, if you want to murder, please say it in advance. I’ll clean my neck for you to cut it, ah!”

  “Pei!”

  Su Mei’s face turned red.

  “Lecher! Ignoring you!”

  Su Mei let the horse come next to the carriage. She talked with Murong Qi Qi in a low voice and didn’t bother anymore with Wanyan Kang.

  Seeing that little girl’s beautiful face and rosy cheeks, Wanyan Kang shook his head while smiling. In the end, she’s just a little girl and couldn’t stand provocation well. Interesting! Very interesting!

  Wanyan Kang didn’t know that unconsciously, on his mouth hung a naughty smile. And this smile, had been put into Murong Qi Qi’s eyes.

  Without Su Mei’s bickering, Wanyan Kang was a lot quieter. He was somewhat not used to this quietness. From time to time, he would look back at Su Mei. However, the other party ignored him, making Wanyan Kang get the feeling that he had lost face for the first time. He was actually looked down upon by a small maid. It seems that he must show his talent at the knockout competition!

  The venue of the knockout competition was at the pagoda that drove away evil spirits, located outside the city. Because the content was decided by Dong Lu, the location of the knockout competition was also selected by Dong Lu.

  This pagoda that drove away evil spirits was in a Buddha temple. The Buddha temple was made in a golden period during the former Qin. Later, because of the war, the temple was destroyed, leaving only a lonely ‘drive away evil spirits’ pagoda, which towered in the clouds.

  At this time, the contestants of the four countries have arrived.

  Bei Zhou had two men and two women. Xi Qi had the same as Bei Zhou. Aside from Long Duo and Helan Lian Yi, Nan Feng had five more people. As for Dong Lu, it had the most people.

  Dong Lu arrived last. Moreover, the contestants stayed at the house of embassy without revealing themselves. This time they came out, making Murong Qi Qi gain knowledge. Fifty people! A total of fifty people!

  “Did cousin-in-law see? Dong Lu likes to use the tactic of a sea of people!”

  Wanyan Kang sneered.

  “Every time, they are so shameless, wanting to tire people to death. Are the people of Dong Lu so cheap?”

  “Puchi…….”

  The moment Su Mei heard that, she laughed. This person really spoke interestingly!

  “Mei er, why are you laughing? Don’t be afraid of them! Rest assured, when I take action in a moment, I’ll immediately take all of them down!”

  Seeing Su Mei laugh like a flower, Wanyan Kang couldn’t help himself from teasing her.

  “Humph! Don’t need! It’ll be fine if I only follow our miss! Also, you’re not allowed to call me Mei er. Did you hear?!”

  Su Mei glared at Wanyan Kang once and stood behind Murong Qi Qi. Her mouth revealed a smile, completely not putting Wanyan Kang in her eyes.

  “Heihei!”

  Being looked down upon, Wanyan Kang still laughed, making Su Mei feel that this fifth prince’s mind was not so good.

  “Wangye, since the knockout competition is decided by Dong Lu, will they play favoritism?”

  After Murong Qi Qi looked at Dong Lu’s disposition of forces and then looked at the pagoda that drove away evil, she had some questions. Dong Lu had this many people. If they wanted to cheat, then wouldn’t the other countries lose the decisive opportunity?

  “Princess Zhao Yang, please be assured. I can personally guarantee that the thing you worry about, won’t happen.”

  Not waiting for Feng Cang to answer, a man’s voice, full of confidence, reached over. A man in blue walked over from not far away.

  This man was wearing blue and liked blue like Jin Mo. However, Jin Mo’s blue was the color of the sky and the blue on this man, was deep like the sea. On the blue clothes was waves embroidered with silver threads. There were also somersaulting koi. It looked very alive.

  Murong Qi Qi raised her head and looked at the man. Long eyebrows, long and narrow phoenix eyes, tightly closed thin lips. He wasn’t such a devilish beauty like Feng Cang and also didn’t have Feng Cang’s cold proudness. Instead, he looked easy going with a warm smile. He looked someone you can get close to.

  “I’m Jia Lan, the person who made the content of the knockout competition. The content of the knockout competition today is this pagoda that drives evil spirits away. Buddha has a seven level pagoda; humans have seven emotions and six desires. Each level of this pagoda has a different test. The ones who safely arrive at the top of the tower will be the finalists for the tournament.”

&
nbsp; The seven emotions of human: joy, anger, anxiety, thought, grief, fear and fright.

  “No way!”

  Immediately, there was someone who shouted.

  “Seven level, is it then not seven rounds of test? Then, this knockout competition will be competing through seven games, ah?! In case no one passes, then what?”

  “No one passing?”

  Jia Lan smiled. His smile was like a blooming Epiphyllum oxypetalum.

  Epiphyllum oxypetalum

  “No one passed, then there’s no winner. Everyone loses.”

  “How could it be like that?!”

  Hearing Jia Lan say that, everyone began to talk about it. Form outside the pagoda, there’s no way to see inside it. Really made people curious about what kind of competition it was.

  “No matter what method is used; no matter if you beat a friend or foe, as long as you can reach the top, then you’re the winner!”

  Jia Lan’s voice was full of temptation. His ‘no matter if you beat a friend or foe’ made Murong Qi Qi frown.

  “Hearing your words, do you mean for us to massacre one another?”

  “Oh……”

  Seeing that Murong Qi Qi quickly seized the meaning behind his words, Jia Lan couldn’t help but have a deeper understanding of this little woman.

  “Princess, you can’t always do as you like. Every secret is inside the pagoda and since princess is a contestant, why don’t you go inside and give it a try?!”

  “Don’t need you to say that. Naturally, I’ll go!”

  At this point, Murong Qi Qi had an inexplicable feeling towards this pagoda where the knockout competition was being held. This pagoda was emitting a dangerous aura. What was inside there? Aside from this Jia Lan, no one knew. Also, his words of just now, obviously had the feeling of wanting to watch a play. Could it be that he would also watch the contestants of Dong Lu go die?

  “After entering the pagoda, the door will be locked. You can only wait till someone passes the seven levels test and appear at the top, before the door will be opened.”

  While saying this, Jia Lan maintained a gentle smile on his face. The smile was like a spring breeze in May. Warm, making people get lost in that smile and almost forget the chill in his words.

  What did this person mean with those words? Longze Jing Tian frowned. If no one passed, then didn’t it mean that the door of this pagoda wouldn’t be opened? Then wouldn’t everyone be trapped inside and be starved to death? Is that what Jia Lan meant?

  “Those who have regrets, there’s still a chance to quit.”

  Seeing that there’s some hesitation, Jia Lan continued to smile.

  “If there’s no one who will quit, then please enter!”

  “Qing Qing, don’t go! I feel that this pagoda is not that simple!”

  Feng Cang also sensed that Jia Lan was a dangerous person. His smile exuded a dark atmosphere. It’s definitely not easy to pass this pagoda.

  Seeing that Feng Cang was worried about her, Murong Qi Qi was very moved. However, if she didn’t go, then she wouldn’t be at ease in letting Su Mei and the others go. Moreover, this pagoda evoked Murong Qi Qi’s curiosity. Where did that kind of confidence Jia Lan had come from? Could it be that there are some traps in this pagoda?

  “Wangye1, I’ll be fine. Be at ease!”

  “Qing Qing!”

  Feng Cang grabbed Murong Qi Qi’s hand, refusing to let go. He was subconsciously aware that this knockout competition was not that simple. Who was that Jia Lan? Why was there never such a person mentioned in the information that came from Dong Lu? Moreover, his expression with that faint smile revealed danger. If Murong Qi Qi went in and something happened, then what?

  “Wangye, I’ll come back safely!”

  Murong Qi Qi tiptoed and left a kiss on Feng Cang’s lips.

  “Wangye, wait for me!”

  Murong Qi Qi taking the initiative to kiss him and also in front of so many people, almost made Feng Cang’s face turn red. However, not waiting for Feng Cang to react to the kiss, he felt his back turn numb. Murong Qi Qi had pressed his acupuncture point.

  “Wangye, apologizing for committing an offense! You must obediently wait for me! Let’s go!”

  Seeing that the people of the other three countries had already entered, Murong Qi Qi led Wanyan Kang and the others inside the pagoda.

  Only after Murong Qi Qi entered the pagoda, did Jin Mo release the acupuncture point of Feng Cang. The moment he released it, Jin Mo was lifted up by Feng Cang.

  “Why didn’t you stop her? Why didn’t you release the acupuncture point for benwang2?!”

  “Wangye, in front of so many people, give me some face.”

  Only after Jin Mo coughed twice did Feng Cang let him down.

  “Wangye doesn’t need to worry. Princess will definitely come back safely!”

  Seeing that Feng Cang wanted to go after Murong Qi Qi, Jin Mo went in front of Feng Cang and stopped him.

  “Safely?! Can you guarantee that?!”

  “Wangye! You can’t lose your mind every time you encounter matters that are related to her! Where did that clear-headed and failing-to-panic Nan Lin wang from before go?!”

  Seeing Feng Cang like this, Jin Mo got angry. Not caring if Feng Cang was happy or not, Jin Mo dragged Feng Cang to one side.

  “If princess can’t come back safely, I’ll personally cut off my head and follow her!”

  “Does wangye still remember my junior brother Lian gongzi3 that I mentioned before? In fact, my junior brother is princess. Princess is Lian gongzi.”

  Seeing that Feng Cang had an ugly expression, Jin Mo had no other way but to confess Murong Qi Qi’s alter ego. Now, Feng Cang was surprised.

  “She’s the famous Lian from the jianghu4? Is Lian gongzi not a man, not your junior brother?”

  So, it turned out to be like this. No wonder she was able to escape from the hands of Wu Ji Gong’s people and could beat Guli……

  “Wangye, I also only got to know about it recently. Asking wangye to please relax. Princess’s ability is great! We should only wait patiently!”

  With Jin Mo’s words, Feng Cang’s heart calmed down a bit. Now in his heart, there’s more shock. Murong Qi Qi was actually Lian gongzi? That brilliant doctor with magical hands, who could bring the dying back to life, but had a weird personality. Always, even when seeing the death, he still wouldn’t cure. Only looked to see if the patient was pleasing to the eye, before treating the patient. That Lian gongzi?!

  While Feng Cang was waiting outside the pagoda, the contestants had already entered the first level of the pagoda.

  The pagoda that drove evil spirits away was made completely out of huge rocks. It’s a stone pagoda. Inside, the sound of outside couldn’t be heard. When everyone entered, the door suddenly locked with a ‘kacha’ sound. The dull sound made everyone’s hearts startle for a bit.

  Not waiting for the contestants to adapt to the environment, the fifty people of Dong Lu already surrounded the contestants of the other three countries.

  “What do you want to do?”

  Murong Qing Lian held a soft sword and looked at these Dong Lu’s people. They all glared like a tiger watching its prey. On their face was a dirty smile as if they were wolves and the other three counties were lambs that almost fell into their mouths.

  “Hehe, what do we want? Of course, it’s killing you all,” a tall man shouted. “As long as you die, then our Dong Lu will be this tournament’s winner!”

  “Despicable!”

&nb
sp; The moment Su Mei opened her mouth, she cursed.

  “Hahaha!”

  Hearing Su Mei say that, the contestants of Dong Lu laughed.

  “Little girl, are your ears deaf or what? Just now, sir Jia Lan already said ‘no matter if you beat a friend or a foe, as long as you can reach the top, then you’re the winner’. Of course, we must first get rid of you, these obstacles, first!”

  “Really shameless,” Su Mei cursed. “If you want to kill us, then it depends on if you have that ability!”

  “That’s right! Mei er5 said it very well!”

  Wanyan Kang also began to shout.

  “Want to kill this master, why don’t you urine to take a look at yourselves?!”

  “Haha!”

  Su Mei completely collapsed. She couldn’t help but sweep her eyes once over Wanyan Kang. This master, aside from his noble aura which made him look like a prince; at other places, where could his identity as a prince be seen? Her family’s guye6 was the one who’s elegant and decent. On the other hand was this prince, his highness, who had a foul mouth. How come he didn’t look like a son of the emperor? Could it be that they had misplaced the baby?

  Wanyan Kang’s shout represented the inner thoughts of the three countries. Although the other party had fifty people and their three countries only had a total of fifteen people, making the other party three times more than them; but having more people didn’t mean anything. At this time, because of the provocation from Dong Lu, the contestants of the other three countries became united.

  However, it seemed that the people of Dong Lu had long expected that the other three countries would join together. They didn’t intend on giving them this opportunity.

  “Kill!”

  The tall man from Dong Lu ordered. The fifty people drew out their weapons. They scattered into three groups and surrounded each country’s contestants in a separate circle.

  “Separate!”

  “Very good calculation!”
