Chapter 1414: The Witty Mingchen

Upon hearing Tianyu's words, Mingchen's expression stiffened.

Wash away the previous shame?

The injuries he had sustained earlier had not yet healed.

Go up again?

Wouldn't that be asking for abuse?

He highly suspected that this bastard Tianyu was doing it on purpose.

But he could not be entirely certain.

After all...

Ever since he was injured, he had been pretending that it was nothing serious.

By now, he had even completely suppressed the injuries, feigning a state of total recovery.

His acting was so good that Tianyu did not know the truth.

It was hard to guarantee it wasn't an unintentional remark.

Thinking of this, the hatred in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

Seeing that not only Tianyu, but even the three beauties Lianyin, Jiayue, and Biyan'er were all looking at him.

He gave a dry cough, waved his hand with feigned magnanimity, "Forget it, Fairy Bi's matter is important, and besides, I, Mingchen, am not the type of person to hold a grudge."

"It is better not to waste everyone's time because of me."

"Let's attack together, kill this indigenous creature in seconds, and hurry to Xuan Valley."

Hearing Mingchen's words, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of admiration, "As expected of our Mermaid Clan's Prince, this magnanimity is truly broad."

Upon hearing this, Mingchen showed an indifferent expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl upward.

He glared at Wang Jianqiang with a hint of reproach, "Tianyu, you still don't know this Prince's character; you are making too much of a fuss."

As he spoke, he raised his head and inadvertently glanced at the three women, Lianyin, Jiayue, and Biyan'er.

Unfortunately, what made him feel a bit regretful was.

The three women did not seem to be attracted by his arrogant and domineering temperament.

Just at this moment, Tianyu's voice entered his ears again, "It's just a mere indigenous creature, there is no need for us to join forces."

"Princess, it's your turn this time."

Hearing these words, Mingchen's expression froze.

"Fine, I'll do it."

At the same time, Lianyin nodded, her figure flashed, and she appeared beside the indigenous creature that had already rushed to the front.

Pressing her hands forward, an ancient wooden zither appeared before her.

Her ten fingers plucked in the air.

The zither strings were vibrated by an invisible force, emitting bursts of pleasant melodies.

Ripples in space, visible to the naked eye, spread toward the indigenous creature, blocking it firmly and making it difficult to advance even half a step further.

Lianyin's ten fingers moved faster and faster, the zither music became increasingly urgent, and more and more materialized ripples formed by sound waves appeared.

The indigenous creature began to retreat steadily.

At a certain moment.

Mingyan suddenly opened her palm and grabbed toward the zither strings.

The originally pleasant zither music stalled instantly, erupting into a burst of intense and harsh, long-drawn-out sound.

The layers of sound waves in the air stalled.

The next moment.

Mingyan released her palm, and the seven zither strings snapped back instantly.

A blade-like arc of sound waves broke through the air.

Wherever the arc-shaped blade passed, the sound wave power stalled in the heavens and earth was all drawn in, merging into the arc blade, causing the power of the arc blade to increase rapidly.

By the time it arrived before the indigenous creature, its power had already climbed to the extreme.

Chirp~

The indigenous creature was instantly split in two, and then with a bang, it exploded into a sky full of shattered light points of energy.

After this indigenous creature died, it did not drop any Mysterious Bead fragments, and that night, Lianyin did not pay attention to this point.

After slaying this indigenous creature, Lianyin's figure flashed and she returned to the team.

"Done."

She looked at Wang Jianqiang and revealed a faint smile, a sight for sore eyes.

Seeing this smile.

Lie Kong's expression went blank.

Mingchen was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of jealousy.

Damn it~

Lianyin had never shown such a smile to him, this Mermaid Prince.

By what right does this bastard Tianyu get it?

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Mingchen.

Sensing Tianyu's gaze, Mingchen hurriedly composed his expression.

Wang Jianqiang seemed not to have noticed the wrongness in Mingchen's expression and said with a chuckle, "Prince, was I not right?"

"It's just a mere indigenous creature, it's easy to solve, no need for us to act together."

Mingchen's expression stiffened for a moment.

This bastard must be deliberately being sarcastic toward him!

He cursed foully in his heart, yet he was unable to refute it.

He could only nod with a dark face, not saying a word.

"Prince, what is wrong with you?"

"Your complexion looks like it is very poor?"

Just at this moment, a voice full of concern reached Mingchen's ears again.

Mingchen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Damn it~

Why is my complexion poor? Don't you have any self-awareness in your own heart?

"Is it because I didn't let you, Prince, take action personally?"

"Sigh, it is also my fault for being too honest; I actually didn't realize that what you said before was just a polite remark, Prince."

"Rest assured, Prince, next time we encounter indigenous creatures, I will definitely let you take action personally."

Just at this moment, Tianyu's voice came again.

Upon hearing this, Mingchen's heart suddenly trembled.

He hurriedly squeezed a slightly stiff smile onto his face, "Tianyu, you misunderstood. How could I, this Prince, be such a narrow-minded person? I was just..."

His expression flickered for a moment, then a Spirit Light flashed, and he blurted out, "I was just seeing Lianyin fighting and was worried for Lianyin."

After saying these words, even he himself was somewhat stunned.

His reaction was actually able to be this fast!

He had actually found such a perfect excuse without even thinking.

Not only did he find a way out for himself, but he also took the opportunity to butter up Lianyin.

Simply perfect!

Hearing Mingchen's words, Lianyin frowned, glanced at Mingchen indifferently, and then turned her head to converse with Jiayue and Biyan'er.

Seeing Lianyin's reaction, the joy in Mingchen's heart suddenly became a few degrees more intense.

After Lianyin looked at him, she immediately shifted her gaze, pretending to communicate with Jiayue and Biyan'er.

Such behavior was clearly her being shy and embarrassed to face him!

Looking at it this way, Lianyin still cared about him very much.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He glanced at Tianyu with contempt.

A lowly bloodline is just a lowly bloodline.

He himself had been muddled.

How could Lianyin take a fancy to such a lowly bloodline?

"So the Prince was worried about the Princess."

After hearing Mingchen's explanation, Wang Jianqiang revealed a look of sudden realization.

Then he looked at Lianyin with a beaming smile, "A hero like the Prince is actually so attentive to the Princess; the Princess is truly blessed."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the corners of Mingchen's mouth immediately curled up, as if he were extremely gratified.

Lianyin rolled her eyes.

This guy's tone seemed normal, but to her ears, it carried a sense of sarcasm.

"Annoying, what nonsense are you spouting here? We didn't come here to sightsee, why don't you hurry up and set off?"

Hearing this, Mingchen seemed to have finally found an opportunity to show off; he snorted coldly and chimed in, "Exactly, Tianyu, don't delay time, hurry up and set off."

"If you let the Princess wait impatiently, watch out, I will make you pay."

Lianyin frowned and glanced at Mingchen indifferently, "My affairs, do they need you to manage them?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my meddling, Lianyin, don't be angry."

Mingchen nodded repeatedly, his surface full of apologies, but his heart was increasingly pleasantly surprised.

Because he could see it.

Lianyin was not truly angry.

Rather, her skin was too thin to accept his kindness in front of everyone.
