Chapter 232 The Calculation in the Other Party's Eyes

Or was it that the longest, most elegant, and most beautiful feather of mine was plucked out? Wouldn't that make me bald?

Xue Qinghe and his group of guards on the other side were stunned by the scene before them - No way, what was going on?

Why would it start destroying someone's hair just because of a disagreement? Birds love beauty the most, so why would it just pluck out someone's feathers?

They looked at the Red-Feathered Fire Phoenix, with anger and unwillingness in its eyes, and couldn't help but take a deep breath in their hearts. This guy was really cruel, or they had been chased around by this stinky bird before.

It was because they were not ruthless enough. Why didn't they think of plucking the feathers of this stinky bird? At this time, Lu Yu said viciously: "If you dare to move again, I will pluck out all the remaining feathers."

"Even if you die, I will make you a bald bird, the ugliest one in your entire species."

The reason why Lu Yu dared to treat this red-feathered fire phoenix like this was naturally because his IQ was too low. If there was a thousand-year-old fire phoenix here, Lu Yu would not dare to threaten the other party like this.

That would only make matters worse. If he provoked the other party's anger, how could he be good? The Red Feathered Fire Phoenix on the opposite side was too small. For him, what Lu Yu said now was simply a murder.

When Chiyu Huofeng thought about how ugly he would become, he felt scared... and Luoshen took advantage of Chiyu Huofeng's daze and cut his neck with a knife.

Blood gushed out, and the Red Feather Fire Phoenix seemed to have no reaction and did not even struggle, as if it was in a daze... In an instant, the feeling of losing life made fear appear in his eyes.

But in the hands of Elder Sad, he had no chance of escape. As his life continued to slip away, Chiyu Huofeng looked at the three people in front of him with unwilling eyes.

What a mistake. If he had known this earlier, he would not have played around. Wouldn't it be better to just eat those humans at the beginning? Why did he cause himself so much trouble?

As a result, not only did he fail to catch the prey, but he also became the prey and lost his life... But no matter how much he regretted it in his heart, it was obviously too late to regret now.

As the life of the Red Feathered Fire Phoenix faded away, a yellow soul ring appeared above his body. Elder Sad threw the body of the Red Feathered Fire Phoenix aside.

He said to Luoshen: "Okay, now hurry up and absorb the spirit ring."

"If you can't absorb this spirit ring within one hour, then the spirit ring will be wasted."

"You must have a strong will and keep absorbing. Failure will also have an impact on your cultivation."

"So you have to hold on, remember?"

Luo Shen had already learned about spirit rings from Lu Yu, and after hearing Elder Sad's popular science lecture, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to absorb this hundred-year-old spirit ring.

Elder Sad and Lu Yu surrounded Luo Shen, keeping an eye on the surrounding situation for her. Xue Qinghe, who was standing by, saw their actions and realized that the two men did not want to help them.

But they were attracted by this spirit ring... Never mind, no matter if it was just a coincidence or some other reason, they helped me after all.

Therefore, Xue Qinghe walked out from the protection of the guards and took a few steps towards Lu Yu and Elder Sade. As a prince of a country, or even a crown prince, his etiquette was impeccable, and his smooth bowing made people feel very comfortable.

He said to the two respectfully: "Thank you for your help just now. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be dead now."

Elder Sad glanced at him lazily and snorted in an unhappy tone: "We are not here to help you at all."

Xue Qinghe smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that this elder would be so merciless in his words... He did not show any displeasure, but spoke in a more respectful tone.

"No matter what, you saved our lives, and we should thank you."

"Please rest assured, when I return to the Tiandou Empire, I will definitely have someone send you a thank-you gift."

"I just don't know what your identities are. Can you tell me where I should send the thank you gift?"

Elder Sad looked at Xue Qinghe, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment - after all, this was the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, and he owed him a favor...

Instead of not wanting it, it would be better to take this opportunity to get more substantial benefits - of course, if you just ask him to return some things, it is obviously not cost-effective.

So Elder Sad curled his lips and said, "Since you sincerely want to thank us, then owe us a promise."

Xue Qinghe tilted his head and thought about it. To be honest, this was not cost-effective. After all, the promise of a crown prince of a country was more important than Mount Tai.

If he agreed to this promise, what would he do if the other party asked for something too much? The guard beside him had obviously thought of this and immediately refused.

"Your Highness, you cannot agree to his request. This guy is really unreasonable."

"What if he asks you to agree to something too much in the future, such as something that harms the interests of our Tiandou Empire?"

"Or if something threatens your personal safety, do we have to do it?"

"Although they did save us, we can give them as much gold and silver as they want, but we cannot agree to this condition."

"Yes, Your Highness, please think twice before you act. We can give them something else..."

Before Xue Qinghe could say anything, Elder Sader on the side had already frowned in displeasure: "Humph, since you don't sincerely thank us, why are you still saying such high-sounding words?"

In fact, Elder Sad was planning to use this method of provocation to stimulate Xue Qinghe on the opposite side, and make him agree to his request while the other party did not know his true identity, so that he could gain more benefits for the Spirit Hall.

Xue Qinghe on the opposite side knew very well about Elder Sad's thoughts and schemes. After all, he was not the real crown prince of the Tiandou Empire. The person inside her shell was Qian Renxue.

As early as when Elder Thad showed his soul ring, he had already sensed something was wrong, and then looked at Elder Thad carefully, although Elder Thad had already made some disguises.

But as smart as Qian Renxue was, he saw the Spirit Hall's exclusive elder uniform underneath Elder Sad's robe, so he immediately realized that this guy was most likely sent by the Spirit Hall to gather information, and he saw the calculation in the other party's eyes.

Obviously, he was making plans for the Spirit Hall. A hint of satisfaction flashed through Qian Renxue's heart. Since he was one of her own, Qian Renxue would of course take special care of him.

So he ignored the objections of the people around him and nodded to Elder Sad: "Okay, as long as it does not violate the interests of the Tiandou Empire and does not harm my life, I promise you."

After Xue Qinghe said this, the guards around him were helpless. After all, the person in front of them was their Crown Prince, even though he usually looked gentle and refined.

But all of these personal guards knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a very prejudiced and opinionated person. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult for others to change it - they were not allowed to interfere in the decisions made by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although the guards of the Tiandou Empire were all feeling very uncomfortable, there was no better solution at the moment... Just as Xue Qinghe was about to say a few more words.

Suddenly, everyone felt the whole earth tremble slightly, and there were some subtle noises not far away. This scene made everyone feel that something was wrong, and the faces of the people in the Tiandou Empire changed instantly.

One of the guards of the Tiandou Empire was the first to speak: "Your Highness, it seems... it seems to be a tide of soul beasts!"

"It seems like there are a lot of soul beasts out there. What should we do?"

It’s not their fault that they are nervous. After all, these people from the Tiandou Empire don’t have much soul power now. The soul beast was defeated just now thanks to the intervention of Elder Sad.

But this guy was unwilling to help them for free and even asked their prince for a promise - who knows if he will have the energy to deal with all the soul beasts he faces next?

If they were dealt with, what benefits would they ask for... So these guards were all very anxious, and Xue Qinghe's face changed. What was going on? Why did a tide of soul beasts suddenly appear?

Normally, soul beasts mostly appear alone, because they are not social animals and do not appear in groups. How come so many soul beasts suddenly appear together now?

Not only Xue Qinghe was confused, but even Lu Yu and Elder Sad beside him all showed surprise. How come the Sunset Forest was completely different from the Sunset Forest they usually knew?

The soul beast that is about to be born is just a hundred thousand year old. Even though this time is relatively long, this soul beast is very rare, but it is not likely that such an unusual situation will appear in the entire Sunset Forest!

Could it be that something unusual happened during this period, or could it be that the truly powerful being in the Sunset Forest was not the 100,000-year-old soul beast, but some other secret treasure?

But Lu Yu's attention was all on Luo Shen. After the yellow soul ring lit up above the Red Feather Fire Phoenix's head, Luo Shen sat obediently aside, raised his right hand and tried hard to summon his martial soul.

Then she began to absorb the soul ring... Lu Yu had always known that Luo Shen was a strong woman. She was not the kind of little woman who was content with her family. Her hope was to have enough ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with her lover.

Instead of always waiting for others' protection and becoming a burden to others...but absorbing spirit rings is not that easy.

What Lu Yu had expected was correct. Luo Shen, who was standing by, was not feeling well at this moment. She felt as if her hand was invaded by magma.

This scorching energy made her feel very uncomfortable. This method of cultivation was different from the one she used in her original world.

Luo Shen only felt as if her internal organs were burning. A strong hot current kept washing over her body, causing Luo Shen's body to tremble violently again and again.

However, despite the extreme discomfort in her body, Luo Shen still persisted, because Lu Yu had told her before that when absorbing the soul ring, she must hold on no matter how these huge forces impacted her body.

Only by holding on and staying awake can the absorption of the soul ring be twice as effective, and only then will you be able to better use the power of the soul ring in the future.

It will also be of great benefit and help to her future soul power cultivation, so Luo Shen kept Lu Yu's teachings in mind. Now she gritted her teeth and persevered. She didn't want to be a coward.

Don't let anyone interfere in her life. She needs to control her own life and have a say in her own life.

The heat in the body intensified at different levels. Luo Shen began to mobilize the Luo Shen Gong in his body, constantly circulating it along the meridians of the body, practicing one small Zhoutian after another.

Luoshen Gong did not disappoint her expectations and began to lead this hot and overbearing power to circulate in her body. As Luoshen Gong circulated, Luoshen found that her body was gradually absorbing this energy.

Every part of her body was filled with this heat. She felt as if she was about to burn, or that if she opened her mouth, flames would burst out...

So in the current situation, Luo Shen is tightly closing her beautiful eyes, completely immersed in the absorption of soul power, and has no idea what is happening in the outside world.

But the current situation did not give them time to think any more. Elder Sartre looked at Lu Yu anxiously and said, "We have to leave here quickly!"

Because the number of soul beasts in front of him could be judged to be quite large just by judging from the vibrations of the ground and the sounds coming from the forest, and the Sunset Forest was full of dangers. Based on his experiences over the past two days, he found that it was no longer the same as the previous Sunset Forest.

Therefore, they must conserve their strength for now and reduce unnecessary waste of soul power. This may save their lives at the critical moment... But given Luo Shen's current situation, they cannot move easily.

Elder Luo Shen also knew that the current situation was a bit tricky. A thin layer of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead due to anxiety. However, Xue Qinghe on the opposite side had a hint of surprise in his heart.

According to Luo Shen's current condition, he probably only absorbed the first soul ring, and the boy doesn't seem to have a high level of cultivation. Why does the elder of the Spirit Hall value them so much?

Could it be that they are members of the Spirit Hall? But it doesn't look like that... Xue Qinghe couldn't help but frown, muttering in his heart.

Luo Shen on the other side was still immersed in her own world. She found that although her body was very hot, as if it was burning, she did not feel any pain.
