Chapter 116 A Knife Hidden In A Smile

The four ferocious beasts were lying on the ground as if they were tired and wanted to stand up and stretch.

As a result, just as he was about to stand up, the chain of order seemed to have noticed that the ferocious beast under him was rebelling. The lightning wrapped around the chain fell on him with lightning speed. On the body of the ferocious beast.

Ouch ouch——

There was another scream, and the beast that was electrocuted fell down again, making no sound.

But the complaints from the ferocious beasts did not interrupt the conversation between Lin Yuan and Yan Jiuxi.

Hearing Lin Yuan's self-deprecation, Yan Jiuxi laughed a few more times as if he had heard some funny joke.

She raised the corners of her mouth, with a somewhat appraising look in her eyes, moving up and down Lin Yuan's body.

After a long time, Yan Jiuxi said jokingly.

"If you laugh at yourself as an ant, I'm afraid everyone in this world will feel ashamed."

"After all, I have heard about your glorious deeds." Yan Jiuxi smiled, "The great villain of heaven."

Lin Yuan's heart "thumped" for a moment.

Yan Jiuxi's eyes fell on him, and it was just a slight glance. It did not make him feel like he was being scrutinized by a naked gentleman, but Yan Jiuxi's words made him feel that he had been seen through.

"The Great Emperor was joking."

Lin Yuan touched his nose and thought that Yan Jiuxi was just following the words of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

How could Yan Jiuxi know about a system that had already surpassed the understanding of the times?

As he thought this, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Master Lin, do you think I'm joking?"

Yan Jiuxi's tone changed thousands of times as before, and the rising tail tone was like a small curved silver hook, catching a migratory fish emerging from its head.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Lin Yuan noticed a bit of chill passing over his neck.

Looking again, Yan Jiuxi's smiling eyes were looking at him like this.

He then knew that he was joking.

"What I said about Great Emperor is just a joke. It is Lin's honor that Great Emperor can entrust me with this important task. Lin must also thank Great Emperor for his trust."

He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Lin Yuan gave Yan Jiuxi a gentle bow, which was regarded as accepting the matter.

only……

For a moment, Lin Yuan suddenly had a flash of light in his mind.

Looking at Yan Jiuxi's face, he asked tentatively.

"Great Emperor, what...is this deal... considered my investment in you?"

"If this will be beneficial in the future, can Great Emperor..."

Lin Yuan did not finish what was in his heart, but every sentence clearly stated the division of interests.

This is a more pertinent statement that he was able to say after careful consideration.

At worst, when Yan Jiuxi heard what he said, he would only have another image of him as a person who is greedy for money and loves profit, but to him, this was nothing more than a pain in the ass.

Compared to the rewards you can get from investing in the Great Emperor, what impact can this little ideological thing have on you?

Thinking like this, he naturally chose this seemingly most self-serving villain idea.

Lin Yuan originally thought that his plan was foolproof, but when he looked up, he found that he seemed to have thought wrong.

After Yan Jiuxi heard what he said, she looked at him with a playful smile on her lips.

"how?"

"You want to invest in me?"

"still……"

"What's that thing inside of you that wants to invest in me?"

Lin Yuan was stunned on the spot, and suddenly became guilty.

However, Yan Jiuxi seemed not to notice Lin Yuan's embarrassment and just looked at Lin Yuan.

If someone didn't know better, they would have thought that this woman had fallen in love with the man in front of her.

Lin Yuan coughed slightly, with a little embarrassment on his face, but after a few breaths, he changed his mood.

If he didn't admit what Yan Jiuxi said, he wouldn't deny it either.

Anyway, if the empress herself believes in this kind of thing, it has nothing to do with him. If she doesn't believe it, it has nothing to do with him. After all, he didn't say anything. As for what Yan Jiuxi thinks, that's all her business.

When Yan Jiuxi saw this, he did not expose Lin Yuan's poor cover-up.

Some of the four ferocious beasts in front of them were lying on the ground half-squinting and taking a nap, while others were using the polished stone slab next to them to sharpen their claws tirelessly.

The two of them just stood there, and Lin Yuan, who knew he was in the wrong, didn't speak a word, and quietly waited for Yan Jiuxi's next words.

After a while, Yan Jiuxi's eyes drooped downward, and her long curved eyelashes covered her lower eyes, making her lowered expression unclear.

Only Yan Jiuxi was heard saying.

"Bai Ze, you can take it away. That little thing can help you find the specific locations of the four ferocious beasts."

These light words directly revealed what Lin Yuan and Bai Ze wanted to hide. They thought that Yan Jiuxi came from behind, and they must have not heard what they were talking about before.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiuxi had heard everything they discussed, but Yan Jiuxi had a lot of information and had no intention of caring about these things.

Lin Yuan's mind sank, and he had a plan in his mind.

You must know that Bai Ze has reached the realm of Supreme at this age. Although it is not difficult for their ancient Auspicious Beast lineage to reach this level, for Lin Yuan, Bai Ze is a big trump card. .

Now it is the Supreme Realm world. With time, it is not impossible to move to the next level or even break through the existence after the Great Emperor.

Thinking like this, why should he be afraid of others when he holds the trump card!

Lin Yuan secretly clenched his fists, with the victor's high spirits in his eyes.

However, Yan Jiuxi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Lin Yuan.

"After Bai Ze leads you to find the ferocious beasts, as for how to rescue them, that is your business. You can only rely on yourself."

"..."

Lin Yuan replied subconsciously.

"Then what if...my strength is really not enough for them?"

"That's your business, you can handle it yourself."

"All right……"

Lin Yuan nodded, agreeing.

He turned his head and looked at the four ferocious beasts in front of him. Unable to suppress the thoughts in his heart, he asked curiously.

"Now that the four great ferocious beasts have been sealed, when I came in just now, I saw the four great Auspicious Beasts, but I never saw the four great divine beasts and the four great saint beasts. I don't know their whereabouts..."

These plots have gone beyond what was described in the original work. When Lin Yuan followed Yan Jiuxi, he had to think a little more.

After thinking about it, not only could the original doubts not be solved well, but new doubts emerged.
