Chapter 899: Chapter 899: Full of Nonsense!
"Your Highness, Your Highness? The master didn’t mean to conceal it."
Xuan Xu saw Li Qingmu deep in thought and worried he would grow distant from Qi Yun over this matter, so he rushed to explain.
Li Qingmu shook his head, "You misunderstood, I don’t mind these things."
As for his father’s little secret, he truly didn’t care that much—who doesn’t have secrets these days? Besides, his heart is not greedy; does he have to want everything? That’s impossible.
Seeing Li Qingmu so understanding, Xuan Xu was relieved, "It’s great that Your Highness thinks this way."
Li Qingmu smiled without saying a word.
"Awoooo——"
At this moment, a large bird flew back again and charged at Li Qingmu and his group.
Li Qingmu raised his hand to attack it, but Xuan Xu suddenly stopped him, "Your Highness, don’t move it!"
Li Qingmu was taken aback, "Why?"
"If you don’t attack it, it won’t attack you."
Li Qingmu was stunned again, but considering that Xuan Xu was from this place and knowledgeable about it, he trusted him.
Neither Long Yue nor Li Qingmu moved, and the strange bird circled once before settling in front of them.
"Whew——"
It spewed a breath, and instantly, Li Qingmu felt a terrifying gust of wind coming at him, causing him to dodge instinctively.
But the gust was too powerful; neither he nor his companion could react in time and were blown away.
"Bang! Bang!"
Both crashed to the ground simultaneously, covered in dust.
Damn!
Is this bird that formidable?
No wonder Xuan Xu earlier advised against provoking it, otherwise, they wouldn’t even know why they were crying.
"What kind of bird is this exactly?"
Li Qingmu looked puzzled.
"It’s called Zhewu, a very powerful type of bird. The exact origins are hard to trace, but it’s said to be a species from a long, long time ago, now extinct."
"Really?"
Long Yue was stunned, then looked at the man beside her with a constipated expression, "Is that its origin? Didn’t you say before it was a hybrid between a bat and an eagle?"
The man: "..."
He wanted to die!
This person who suddenly appeared must be here to mess with him, otherwise, why would they counter his words just after he spoke them? It’s like they won’t give him a break!
How could someone as clever as Long Yue not see through him? Seeing his expression, she knew he had tricked them before. Ha, he must be dancing on the edge of death to be this reckless.
Simply unforgivable!
"A Mu!" She immediately turned her head, looking at her man. Li Qingmu nodded slightly and walked towards that man.
"I’ve given you many chances, but you’ve repeatedly tested our limits of patience. Now, sorry, but enough is enough, there’s no need to endure anymore!"
Li Qingmu spoke as he walked, smiling like a tiger with a smile that sent chills down the man’s spine.
"Ah ah ah, no no no, spare me, it was... a misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding. I must have remembered wrong, yes, remembered wrong! Oh dear, my memory is getting worse, how could it be so bad?"
Li Qingmu and Long Yue: "..."
His morals were utterly shattered, wasn’t it? They really couldn’t understand how someone like this could be employed by Princess Ying?
"Whether you’re wronged or not, I’m not interested in finding out, I just want to end you now!"
Li Qingmu laughed coldly. Without wasting more words, he grabbed him and swung him towards the Zhewu.
"No, save me——"
The man was truly scared out of his wits. If he were really thrown towards the Zhewu, would he still be alive?
To the Zhewu, anything charging towards it, alive or not, would be seen as a provocation. The ill-tempered Zhewu would directly swallow you!
Just the thought of becoming a meal for the Zhewu sent shivers through him, almost to the point of crying out for his parents.
"Save me, spare me, sob sob, I’ll call you dad if that’s what it takes, spare me!"
The man sobbed and clung to Li Qingmu’s leg. Seeing this grown man call him dad, Li Qingmu felt...
Like vomiting.
"Get away, don’t touch me!"
Li Qingmu was quite disgusted by him and kicked him away.
"Ouch, dad, dad, don’t leave me, sob sob sob..."
Can you imagine the absurdity of a man older than you kneeling before you calling you dad while crying?
Anyway, Li Qingmu was genuinely infuriated by his lack of shame to the point of wanting to vomit blood.
"If you dare call me dad one more time, I’ll throw you over immediately!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Qingmu threatened him.
Instantly, the man fell silent, as docile as a quail.
Xuan Xu, seeing the man, was also shocked by his shamelessness and was curious as he looked at Li Qingmu and Long Yue, "Who is he?"
Li Qingmu replied, "I also want to ask this question, who is this weird guy?"
"Low... your humble servant Mier, is a small official from Xue Country, following Princess Ying for this task. This time, my words are true, absolutely no lies, I swear on my life!"
Mier pointed his fingers to the sky, his demeanor solemn, looking utterly sincere.
However, Li Qingmu knew this guy was full of nonsense; not a word to believe.
"Xue Country... Your Highness, it’s best not to mess with people from Xue Country to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Xuan Xu reminded him.
Li Qingmu was puzzled, "Why? I’ve heard Zhe Feng and others mention Xue Country before, it seems very formidable?"
"Yes, not just formidable, they’re quite formidable, and the people of Xue Country are very protective. They can treat their own as scum or bully them, but outsiders cannot."
Xuan Xu said, glancing at the man and shaking his head gently, "This person is surely troublesome, even many would wish him dead, but we outsiders can’t touch him."
Li Qingmu understood now.
With our own, we can handle them however we like, but outsiders absolutely can’t touch them!
Whoever touches them seeks their own death!
"Even though Xue Country is far in the Far North, can they sense everything happening here?"
"Uh..."
Xuan Xu was stunned for a moment, how had he overlooked this question before?
Indeed, Xue Country’s people are formidable, but not to the extent of sensing things from thousands of miles away. If they were, that would be beyond humans, but gods!
Xuan Xu felt embarrassed instantly and glanced at Li Qingmu apologetically, "Your Highness is wise. Since this person has entered the underground tomb, then anything happening is foreseeable, so..."
Mier had a slight sense of pride, thinking that since Xuan Xu said that, he had escaped the threat of death.
But Li Qingmu’s words put him back into despair.
No, please!
"Hero, spare me, I will now guarantee with my life that everything I’m saying is true, absolutely not deceiving! I’m not lying this time!"
Xuan Xu looked genuinely sincere.
Li Qingmu wasn’t buying it, and said calmly, "Finally willing to tell the truth?"
"Yes, yes yes!"
How could he not? If he didn’t, he’d truly die!
