Chapter 694: Chapter 698: Observe the Rules
Su Tang always knew that to improve her physique and fully become a female Beastman of the Beast World, she needed to consume the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng and immerse herself in the warm bijou spring water inside the Wood Immortal Mansion.
However, now that she has suddenly learned that the Mysterious Ginseng is also being targeted by the kingdom, she feels somewhat nervous.
Noticing Su Tang’s unease, Gaiyin firmly held her hand, offering some consolation. Then, he turned and looked at Liao Li.
"Do we also need to follow these rules set by Your Majesty? After all, we aren’t Kingdom Beastmen."
Liao Li looked at Gaiyin with difficulty, "Well···strictly speaking, you should obey them."
Hearing this, Yadang and Xi’s faces immediately turned dark.
Qiu Mo couldn’t bear it. She stood up and seemed ready to leave the inner hall.
Gaiyin also didn’t look pleased.
Unexpectedly, Liao Li changed his tone, "Gentlemen, don’t be so hasty, please listen to me. You all put a lot of efforts into opening the door of the Wood Immortal Mansion.
Here’s the deal, you do have to follow some rules, like no indiscriminate fighting, and our two targets, the Advanced Cultivation Technique and the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng, belong to us.
Whatever else you get, as long as our Kingdom Beastmen didn’t intervene, if you acquire it with your own strength, you don’t have to hand it over, is that okay?" 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Liao Li’s speech made them look slightly less disgruntled.
Then Gaiyin continued to inquire, "Let’s not talk about the Advanced Cultivation Technique now, but what does the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng look like? If we exhaust great efforts to secure it, do we have to give it to you for free?"
"This···" Liao Li glanced at the emperor then explained, "Truth be told, the health of our kingdom’s sage isn’t good, and the Mysterious Ginseng is his life-saving medicine.
We don’t know what it looks like either, except that there’s a small white flower on its head. If you get it first, we are willing to exchange other herbs for it."
Gaiyin was silent.
Liao Li continued, "I’ve been very lenient with you all. We don’t know what we’ll face on the way to the Wood Immortal Mansion. But don’t worry, I will personally escort you there, all you need is to rest well, and I will take care of everything else."
Gaiyin fixed his gaze on Liao Li and then responded with a slight smile, "If that’s the case, then we will follow your orders."
With Gaiyin’s consent, some relief finally appeared on Liao Li’s face.
Before he had a chance to say anything more, Gaiyin stood up, "If there’s nothing more, we’ll be leaving first."
Saying this, he walked out of the hall leading Su Tang, followed by Yadang and the others.
Liao Li watched their receding figures with a dark expression.
"Well, if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving as well, and do me a favor, don’t bother me." Bai Ling also got up from his chair, lazily swaying towards the exit.
Bai Ling immediately couldn’t sit still!
She shouted at Bai Ling’s retreating figure, "Stinky Bai Ling! What do you mean by that, stand still! Stand still!"
While yelling, Bai Ling furiously ran after him.
It’s strange, although Bai Ling seems to be just strolling, not moving fast, Bai Ling simply couldn’t catch him.
Only when their figures completely disappeared from view, Liao Li snorted heavily, struck the wooden table next to him with a palm, instantly shattering it.
