Chapter 4066 Prajna Divine Sound Exquisite Mouth

Upon entering the palace, an elderly man in a long robe, resembling a steward, led us deeper into the palace. As we walked, the disheveled Taoist priest and I observed the palace. We had developed a habit of observing our surroundings at every turn, thinking about where to fight and which route to take if we needed to escape.

I think the slovenly Taoist priest probably sees something different from what I do; he might be looking for hidden treasures somewhere in the Prince's mansion.

The artificial hills, waterside pavilions, and towers along the way were dazzling, but the Prince's Mansion of Guanxiong Kingdom was many times larger than my family's courtyard house in Yanbei.

After walking through several long corridors, we went straight into the hall.

The steward told us to wait in the hall, saying that the prince would arrive shortly.

The bearded man thanked him repeatedly, then stood respectfully to the side.

Before the steward had even left, the slovenly Taoist priest plopped down on a chair nearby, acting like a big shot.

This startled the bearded man, who quickly winked at the disheveled Taoist priest, signaling him to stand up.

If the prince arrives in a while and sees this slovenly Taoist priest sitting here like a big shot, he'll definitely be unhappy.

I quickly tugged at the slovenly Taoist's arm, and he reluctantly stood up.

This guy is used to being undisciplined and has no manners whatsoever.

After waiting for about ten minutes, an elderly man dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes appeared. He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, but I felt that his actual age was much older than what we saw.

The steward announced the arrival of the prince, and the bearded man beside him immediately knelt down and bowed to the prince.

Upon seeing this, the slovenly Taoist priest and I had no choice but to follow suit and kneel down as well.

The prince glanced at us and said indifferently, "You've come again. What good things have you brought me today? I really liked the Fire Soul Machine and that huge luminous pearl you sent last time. Do you have any other treasures you have that are even better?"

The bearded man quickly looked up at the prince and said politely, "Your Highness, I didn't bring any treasures with me this time..."

"You didn't bring any treasures with you, so what are you doing here? Do you think I have a lot of free time?" The prince's face immediately darkened.

"Your Highness, although I didn't bring any treasures with me, my two friends are carrying valuable items for you," the bearded man quickly explained.

"Get up, and let me see what good things you've brought." The prince waved his hand and then sat down on a chair to the side.

After the three of us got up, the bearded man nudged the scruffy Taoist's arm and said, "Brother, hurry up and show your treasure to the prince. If the prince is happy, he will surely reward you handsomely."

"No problem, no problem..." The slovenly Taoist priest smiled and suddenly took something out of his Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch.

When I saw this thing, I was instantly dumbfounded.

Because what the slovenly Taoist priest took out was actually a children's toy, which looked somewhat like a sunflower.

When the disheveled Taoist priest took out this item, the prince, who had been sitting there perfectly fine, immediately stood up, walked over to the Taoist priest, carefully examined the item in his hand, and asked with a curious look, "What kind of treasure is this?"

"Your Highness, please wait a moment while I demonstrate for you."

As he spoke, the slovenly Taoist priest pulled out two AA batteries from his person, put them into the children's toy, and turned it on.

It was only then that I realized that the slovenly Taoist priest had probably made all the necessary preparations before coming to the desolate region.

This was a premeditated scheme to scam people.

Electronic products should not be placed inside the Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch, as this will affect the effectiveness of this magical artifact.

However, the slovenly Taoist priest kept the toy and battery separate; the battery was not inside the Qiankun Eight Treasures Pouch.

After inserting the batteries and turning on the switch, the slovenly Taoist priest said to the sunflower toy, "Old Wu, you big idiot!"

Then, a dramatic scene unfolded: the sunflower toy mimicked the slovenly Taoist priest's voice and uttered a sentence, while also wriggling its body a few times.

I remember we had this toy at home. Uncle Tiger bought it to play with Tiger Cub. That slovenly Taoist priest is really creative; he actually brought something like this.

However, the impact of this scene was far too great for the prince and the bearded man.

"This... what is the name of this treasure? It can actually learn to speak, and it's exactly the same as a human..." The prince was shocked.

"This thing is called the Prajna Divine Sound Exquisite Mouth. It can learn to speak. Whatever you say, it will repeat it. While speaking, it will also display graceful dance moves. I suppose Your Highness has never seen such a rare treasure before?" The slovenly Taoist priest smiled at the prince.

The prince stared wide-eyed at the child's toy in the disheveled Taoist's hand, then said to it, "Your Highness has arrived..."

The toy mimicked the prince's voice, saying "Your Highness has arrived," and began to wriggle.

"My darling, my darling! This is a rare and unique item. I never imagined that such a wondrous thing existed in this vast world." The prince took the children's toy from the disheveled Taoist priest's hand, overjoyed. He spoke to it several times, his happiness making him lose his bearings.

I truly admire the slovenly Taoist priest's incredible imagination; how did he come up with such a childlike toy to coax the prince into acting like a little kid?

The appearance of something like this in a place like the Fire Domain is absolutely a game-changer.

The prince played with it for a while, then turned around and looked excitedly at the disheveled Taoist priest: "Please sit down, and serve tea!"

When the prince was in a good mood, the treatment changed immediately. Someone brought us stools, and a pretty maid served us the finest tea. Even the bearded man sat down with us.

"My friend, where did you get this treasure? Would you be willing to part with it and sell it to me?" the prince asked the disheveled Taoist priest.

"If Your Highness likes it, please take it. It would be my honor if Your Highness liked it. As for where this item came from, I hope Your Highness will not ask. It was a gift from a mysterious person. I have treasured it for many years, intending to present it to Your Highness. Such a divine artifact is a waste of heaven's treasure if it remains in the hands of ordinary people like us. Only when it falls into the hands of someone of Your Highness's status and position is it its rightful home." The slovenly Taoist priest spoke with a straight face and a righteous air.
