Chapter 159: Bai Li Bing is Bai Li Bing (4000 words, two-in-one)
"Goose?"
Tianxuan Goose gulped and swallowed the thing in its mouth.
Tianxuan Goose was startled, suspecting that the other party had fed it poison.
Tianxuan Goose tried desperately to spit it out, but couldn't.
The thing melted in its mouth and dissolved into its blood like water.
Tianxuan Goose felt a burning sensation in its body, as if it was about to become a roast goose.
Then, Tianxuan Goose felt as if something was about to leave its body.
Xiao Bai covered its head with its wings and rolled on the ground, as if something was about to burst out of its skull.
Seeing Xiao Bai in so much pain, Xu Ming stepped forward subconsciously, but as soon as Xu Ming took a step, Bifang spat out a mouthful of fire, forming a circle of fire around Xu Ming.
"Don't interfere with our Princess!" Bifang said coldly, but with extreme nervousness.
Seeing the Great White Goose in so much pain, the Big Black Dog was also a little anxious, glancing uneasily at Bifang:
"Will the Princess be alright? Is this thing so painful? Is the Chancellor's thing really okay? If something happens to the Princess, what shall we do? Wouldn't we be sinners for all time?"
"Shut up! Don't jinx it!"
Bifang kicked the Big Black Dog and stared at the Tianxuan Goose in front of him, not daring to look away for a moment.
"Don't worry, it should be fine. That turtle wouldn't dare do anything to the Princess, after all, the Princess is…"
Bifang muttered to himself, more like a kind of self-comfort.
Halfway through speaking, Bifang stopped and pursed his lips tightly, looking at the Great White Goose with worry.
Although Bifang said that everything was fine, Bifang was very anxious in his heart.
What if that turtle really went crazy? Really wanted to eliminate the only bloodline of the Baixiang Kingdom's royal family and join other forces?
It wasn't impossible.
Fortunately, after ten breaths, the Great White Goose's cries gradually diminished.
It wasn't that the Great White Goose didn't have the strength to cry, but that the pain the Great White Goose was enduring was visibly much less.
Strange images appeared in the Great White Goose's mind as it lay on the ground.
The palace was burned down.
The mother left with herself in her arms.
One forbidden soldier after another died in front of her.
"Daughter… you must live well…"
"Mother…"
The woman in palace attire gently stroked the girl's face, the woman's fair and delicate fingers touching the little girl's brow.
The little girl's body kept shrinking, and in the end, she couldn't maintain her human form at all.
"I… I am…"
Xiao Bai opened her eyes.
Her body grew bigger and bigger, her feathers grew longer and longer, and her tail spread out, like the long skirt worn by the Empress!
"Honghu."
In Xu Ming's mind, these two words suddenly popped out.
There are five types of phoenixes.
As the saying goes, there are five types of phoenixes, the red one with patterns is the Phoenix, the blue one is the Luan, the yellow one is the Yuanchu, the white one is the Honghu, and the purple one is the 𬸚𬸦.
The blue phoenix is called He, the red phoenix is called Chun, the yellow phoenix is called Yan, the white phoenix is called Su, and the purple phoenix is called 𬸦.
The five phoenixes are all divine beasts, without distinction of superiority.
Xu Ming had also seen the portraits of the five phoenixes in this world, their shapes are similar, but their colors are different.
Xiao Bai's appearance, where does it look like a Tianxuan Goose, this is clearly the White Phoenix—Honghu.
Seeing their Princess gradually returning to her former appearance, Bifang breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of joy!
"Min!"
Xiao Bai stood up, and a phoenix cry resounded through the sky, among the mountains and forests, white birds scattered in shock, flying low and ceaselessly, all bowing their heads.
"Your subject, pays respects to the Princess."
Bifang and the Black Dog stepped forward again and knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Bai.
The memories of the past and the memories of the present gradually merged, although Xiao Bai's head still felt a little hazy, it became more and more clear.
"My name is not Xiao Bai, my name is… Bai Li Bing." Xiao Bai lowered her head and spoke human words.
This was the first time Xu Ming had heard Xiao Bai speak human words, her voice was very pleasant, with a hint of etherealness, and a kind of aloofness that kept strangers away.
Hearing the Princess say her name, Bifang knew that the Princess had completely returned.
"We have been searching for the Princess for ten years. Finding the Princess today is the blessing of our Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." The Black Dog quickly said, flattering, "After we knock these two people unconscious, we will escort the Princess back to the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom."
"How is my mother?" Bai Li Bing asked, her eyes full of worry.
"Reporting to the Princess, the Queen is still missing. We are still searching. Now the Chancellor has stabilized the court and is waiting for you to return." Bifang replied respectfully.
Bai Li Bing's eyes narrowed and she fell into deep thought.
"Why are you so determined to kill him?" After a long time, Bai Li Bing raised her head and asked.
Black Dog: "Reporting to the Princess, our Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom is preparing a sacrifice, which requires some special constitutions, including the Eternal Spirit Root. According to your subordinate's judgment, this person should be the Eternal Spirit Root.
As for that little girl, she has the scent of humans and magical beasts on her body. Your subordinate is very curious and intends to take her back to our Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom to see what's going on."
Bai Li Bing said coldly: "This man cannot be touched, and you cannot touch that little girl either."
The Black Dog's tone was a little anxious: "But Princess, the Eternal Spirit Root is really hard to come by. If we let it go like this…"
"I told you not to touch them, that means you can't touch them. Didn't you hear me?" Bai Li Bing's tone was reprimanding, and even the pressure from her bloodline directly pressed on the Black Dog's body.
Although Bai Li Bing and the Black Dog's realms were very different, the gap brought about by the bloodline suppression still made the Black Dog's forehead break out in cold sweat.
"Yes, your subordinate obeys."
In the end, the Black Dog still obeyed Bai Li Bing's order.
Although the Black Dog also valued the sacrifice in the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom, the most important thing now was the Princess.
The Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom only had this one Princess left.
Bai Li Bing coldly shifted her gaze away from the Black Dog.
A cool breeze blew by, and snow-white feathers fell from the sky.
Bai Li Bing transformed into human form.
The original snow-white phoenix feathers turned into a snow-white phoenix feather tube top palace dress, the long skirt dragged on the ground, and the fair shoulders were exposed, looking like she was wearing a pure white wedding dress.
A white long hair fell down along the girl's shoulders, just reaching the girl's willow waist.
Bai Li Bing turned her head, and her almond eyes met Xu Ming's.
Looking at the girl's eyes, Xu Ming felt familiarity, but more of it was a strange alienation.
Different from Xu Ming's guess.
Xiao Bai was not a diamond Barbie after transforming. Her figure was very soft and beautiful, her curves were graceful, and she was simply like melted snow.
Under the white eyelashes, the blue eyes and the delicate nose gave people an exotic look.
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years." Bai Li Bing said slowly to Xu Ming.
Xu Ming looked straight into the girl's eyes: "Are you still that stupid goose?"
Hearing Xu Ming say she was stupid, Bai Li Bing clenched her small hand and her eyebrows twitched.
But unlike before, when she would hit Xu Ming if she was unhappy, Bai Li Bing, after regaining her memory, had more of the restraint of the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom's royal family: "Remember, my name is Bai Li Bing, the eldest princess of the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom, the mortal enemy of your human race."
"By the way…" Bai Li Bing smiled slightly, placing her hands in front of her, "Haven't you always been expecting me to transform? How do you like it now?"
Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "In my opinion, I still prefer the previous Great White Goose."
Xu Ming was telling the truth.
Although Xiao Bai's bloodline was more noble, she was a Honghu "White Phoenix", although Xiao Bai, after transforming, was a graceful girl, whether it was her figure or her appearance, she was not inferior to Qin Qingwan at all.
But Xu Ming still hoped that Xiao Bai was that Tianxuan Goose.
Xu Ming even hoped that Xiao Bai, after transforming, would be an ordinary-looking diamond Barbie.
"You really don't know good things." Bai Li Bing glared at Xu Ming coldly, "If you go back to Wudu, tell Madam that Xiao Bai won't be going back…"
After speaking, Bai Li Bing turned around and looked at the Black Dog: "Let's go, back to the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Black Dog took out a Void Breaking Stone and opened a distorted void door. The passage behind the door was connected to the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom's imperial capital.
The Black Dog still looked at Xu Ming reluctantly, but after being slapped on the head by Bifang's wing, the Black Dog could only follow behind Bai Li Bing dejectedly.
"Do you prefer to be Xiao Bai, or Bai Li Bing?"
Just as Bai Li Bing was about to step into the void door, Xu Ming asked.
The girl paused, then stepped into the void door with her jade legs under her skirt. As the void door gradually closed, a clear voice slowly came from behind:
"Bai Li Bing is Bai Li Bing."
The girl's clear voice landed, the void door disappeared, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"Cough cough cough…"
Xu Ming, who had been holding back, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Xu Ming, who was weak all over, sat on the ground, his face pale.
He had survived.
But…
Xiao Bai had become the princess of the Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom?
"Ten Thousand Elephants Kingdom…" Xu Ming muttered these three words softly.
"Awoo…"
Just as Xu Ming was in a daze, the little girl who had been standing beside Xu Ming ran towards the Lava Heart Cave, stumbling and crawling.
Forcing himself to ignore the sharp pain in his body, Xu Ming stood up, walked over, helped the girl to her feet, patted the dirt off her, then tucked her under his arm and flew towards the Lava Heart Cave.
The array that had been set up on this mountain had been completely destroyed, so Xu Ming was able to easily find the Lava Heart Cave with the little girl.
But the Lava Heart Cave was damaged beyond recognition, the entire cave having collapsed.
“Awoo… Awoo…”
The little girl struggled out of Xu Ming’s arms and began digging at the stones, not stopping even when her fingers were scraped raw and her blood stained the stones and sand.
Xu Ming didn't stop her. Instead, he handed her a peach wood sword, telling her to use it to dig. This peach wood sword was even harder than the rock.
Then, Xu Ming picked up a flat stone and helped her dig.
Xu Ming and the little girl didn't know how long they dug.
Xu Ming knew that they wouldn't find anything.
Her mother and that cultivator had been completely annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
After digging for a long, long time, the little girl's movements became slower and slower, sweat constantly sliding down her forehead.
Finally, the little girl dug up a huge piece of black stone.
The little girl took the peach wood sword Xu Ming had given her and kept hitting it against the stone.
But even though the wood of this peach wood sword was unusual, it could only leave a few marks on the black stone.
The little girl dropped the peach wood sword in her hand and snatched the stone from Xu Ming's hand, repeatedly smashing it against the rock with all her might.
“Awoo…”
“Awoo…”
“Awoo… Waa… Waa… Waa… Waa… Wuwu… Wuwu… Wuwu…”
When the stone in her hand shattered completely, the gravel and the little girl's blood mixed together, and she burst into tears.
In her heart, the little girl knew that her mother and Qi Hui were dead, but she didn't dare to face it.
Xu Ming didn't know why the little girl had such a good impression of that Black God Cult cultivator, even having a kind of familial dependence on him.
Her biological father had been killed by that cultivator!
But Xu Ming didn't want to tell her the truth now, otherwise, the little girl in front of him would break down even more.
When the girl's crying became hoarse and she no longer had the strength, leaning against the rock, Xu Ming stepped forward and crouched down in front of her.
The little girl looked at Xu Ming with tear-reddened eyes, her nose constantly twitching.
Xu Ming looked directly into the little girl's eyes: "I owe your mother a favor. Your mother asked me to take good care of you, so I will take good care of you."
Xu Ming reached out his hand to the little girl: "If you are willing to trust me…"
The little girl looked at Xu Ming's hand, then raised her head and looked into Xu Ming's eyes, without saying a word or making a sound.
The little girl just looked at Xu Ming like that, her gaze not shifting at all.
Xu Ming responded to the little girl, his gaze not moving even slightly.
“Live… On…” The little girl struggled to say three words.
Xu Ming was slightly stunned. After understanding what the girl meant, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, live on. Together, we will live well."
The little girl swallowed, tentatively reaching her small hand towards Xu Ming's fingers, but several times, just as her fingers were about to touch Xu Ming, she would retract them as if she had been shocked by electricity.
It was as if the little girl had returned to the day she first met her mother.
And Xu Ming, like Zhao Qiongman that day, quietly waited for the little girl to place her small hand in his, no matter how long she hesitated.
Finally, the little girl placed her small hand in Xu Ming's palm, and she raised her head, looking at Xu Ming nervously.
Xu Ming squeezed her small hand: "My name is Xu Ming. What's your name? Can you say it?"
“Shen… Shen…” The little girl said, word by word, trying to express herself as clearly as possible.
Xu Ming: "Hmm?"
“Shen Sheng… Sheng…”
The little girl said with difficulty.
“My… Name…”
