Chapter 241: The Imperial Princess's Determination
Inside the commander's tent, the Wrathful Father God tossed a small box into Big Boss's hands.
"Wrathful Explosion, you hold onto this."
"This is..." Big Boss opened the box and saw a pill placed inside.
【Concentrated Magic Spirit Medicine (Epic): Can raise the user's spiritual power level, greatly improve strength, is a rare spirit medicine.】
【Regarding the origin of this spirit medicine, opinions vary; the only certainty is that it is absolutely no ordinary mortal product.】
"Wrathful Explosion, you have rendered meritorious service repeatedly; this is my reward to you." The Wrathful Father God walked up to Big Boss and patted his shoulder: "Also, that reward I promised you, you can go collect it from the treasure vault at any time."
"Many thanks, Father God's Crown, Your Majesty." Big Boss thanked him respectfully, looking extremely loyal.
"Mm, but as for what comes next, you need not inquire." The Wrathful Father God changed the subject: "The remaining great decisive battle will be left to Lu Yi to command."
Big Boss narrowed his eyes, clearly aware that Wrathful was suspecting him.
But he did not panic or resist, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Mm, Wrathful Explosion, you also need not harbor too many complaints; this move of mine is also to cultivate you." And the Wrathful Father God began his own grand cake-painting scheme: "You are still young, you need more tempering; these books, you take back and study them well."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and two attendants pushed a small cart in.
Big Boss picked up a book from the cart and discovered they were some Abyss magic.
Although their ranks were not all high, they were all quite rare, belonging to books unseen outside.
Judging by the look of it, to win himself over and keep him from growing cold-hearted, this Wrathful had indeed made thorough preparations.
"Many thanks, Father God's Crown, Your Majesty; I will study hard." Big Boss said respectfully.
"Mm, you may withdraw." The Wrathful Father God waved his hand, ending the conversation.
After Big Boss left the tent, the Wrathful Father God turned to You Fei: "Lady Blood Rose, are you alright?"
"Ah! I'm fine, many thanks, Father God!"
You Fei blanked for a moment, then replied.
She had just seen Big Boss eat a loss and was gloating over it.
She did not expect Wrathful would actually call on her.
You Fei looked at the red-haired man before her, who was two sizes larger than herself, feeling the wild spiritual power divine might radiating from him, and couldn't help swallowing.
So this is one of the Abyss Seven Gods? Such terrifying power... I'm afraid only Father Emperor could compare with him.
Big Boss is actually undercover under such a terrifying enemy...
He can actually remain calm in the face of danger and devise all sorts of traps...
Unconsciously, her evaluation of Big Boss rose another few notches.
"No need to be nervous, Miss Blood Rose; you are my subordinate's daughter, I naturally have the obligation to save you, then..." The Wrathful Father God waved his hand, and a contact magic array lit up in mid-air.
Immediately, Tifeng's voice came from the other side:
"Father God's Crown, Your Majesty, you summoned me?"
"Mm, Tifeng, look who this is." The Wrathful Father God spoke, stepping aside to let You Fei appear in the screen.
Seeing her, Tifeng's eye sockets instantly reddened: "Mother!"
You Fei: "..."
Wrathful Father God: "???"
Wait, isn't Blood Rose your daughter?
How did she become mother? The Wrathful Father God looked at Tifeng with inexplicable confusion.
"Er..." Tifeng only then realized he had misspoken, somewhat embarrassed: "Father God's Crown, Your Majesty, actually she is my mother's reborn person, claimed as daughter for external purposes."
"Reborn person, I see." The Wrathful Father God nodded, simultaneously giving You Fei a meaningful look.
Mother is good! Mother is better than daughter!
A daughter might betray her father, but a mother would never betray her son.
This way, Blood Rose is even more completely trustworthy! On the other side, You Fei was also nearly unable to hold it in.
Waiting online, first time being a mother, and to a white-haired old man at that, don't know what to do, seeking help, quite urgent...
"Cough cough, Tifeng, the matter I promised you, I've already done; next, it's your turn to fulfill your promise to me." The Wrathful Father God knocked on the table:
"When I take down Full Moon Academy, you mother and son can meet."
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Tifeng bowed respectfully, but his lowered eyes were full of mockery.
Heh, you've done it?
I've followed you for so many years; if you wanted to save my mother, you'd have done it long ago, why wait until now?
Who saved my mother, I could still not know? Of course it was my dad Big Boss! You trash, you actually want to steal my dad's credit, why don't you piss in a mirror and look at your own ugly mug.
When my dad is ready, I'll surely repay you for the torture of my mother! Tifeng suppressed his anger and put on a fawning appearance: "Father God's Crown, Your Majesty, Tifeng will certainly do his utmost to share your worries!"
"Mm, excellent!" The Wrathful Father God happily stroked his little beard, quite satisfied with his own wise and martial brilliance.
This time, he should have completely won over Tifeng.
His loyalty, his body, will all belong to himself.
Probably won't be long before he can taste his flavor.
After cutting the call, the Wrathful Father God looked at You Fei again: "Lady Blood Rose, as you see, your son is working for me; I think you and he should be on the same side, right?"
You Fei: "..."
Heh heh, he stole my body and made me a vegetable for forty-odd years, what do you think? I'd love to subject him to lingering chi!
Of course, You Fei would never say these words; she maintained a dignified and elegant noble smile: "Father God's Crown, Your Majesty, naturally I stand on your side."
"Hahaha, good, very good." The Wrathful Father God laughed wildly a few times: "Now I've gained another fierce general! By the way, what do you think of that Tianming Divine Court?"
"If possible, I will kill my way into the royal palace and reclaim everything that belongs to me." You Fei clenched her fist, speaking word by word.
These words came from the bottom of her heart, without a shred of falsity.
If one were to say what she most wanted to do right now, it was revenge.
Sensing the killing intent in her words, the Furious Father God completely relaxed.
When he asked this question, he deliberately used the ability to detect lies.
There was not a hint of falsehood in Blood Rose's words.
Her anger toward the King's Court was undisguised.
"This is a trustworthy and very useful pawn." Thus thought the Furious Father God.
He narrowed his eyes again, standing with hands behind his back: "Blood Rose, I will help you fulfill your wish and kill that Third Princess of the King's Court."
You Fei: "……"
"But the premise is that you complete my task." The Furious Father God turned his head, looking at her with deep meaning: "The first thing is to go monitor every move of the Furious Explosion Divine General, and report truthfully to me."
You Fei: "……"
"Of course, you shouldn't have too much psychological burden; I don't want to move him, just to ensure safety."
You Fei: "……"
"Why aren't you speaking? Don't you want to do this task?" The Furious Father God looked at her doubtfully.
"Cough cough, to share the Father God's worries, I will spare no effort!" You Fei suppressed her urge to retort, knelt on one knee, and put on a devout appearance.
"Mm, very good! You may go." The Furious Father God smiled satisfiedly.
Watching Blood Rose's departing back view, he only felt in a great mood.
Now, he had not only completely subdued Tifeng this Little Cake, but also obtained Blood Rose, a former great general of the human race.
The Furious Explosion Divine General was isolated and monitored, no need to worry that he was an undercover agent; just quietly wait for the result and find a way to subdue him.
Commanding the army in battle with the strategist Lu Yi directing, it was even more foolproof.
The gloom of everything going poorly in the previous period completely dissipated, replaced by a great situation where everything went smoothly.
"Fortune turns, fortune turns, hahaha, looks like, this time in the Dian Huo War, this old man has it in the bag." The Furious Father God laughed loudly twice: "Oh no, my gaze should not be so short-sighted."
"What I should consider now should be the Abyss Lord's Overlord's Path!"
"Hahahahahaha!!"
…………
On the other side, after walking out of the tent, Her Highness You Fei's mouth corner could no longer be suppressed.
This Furious Father God probably couldn't imagine even in death that the three people who just met with him.
Tifeng, herself, and Big Boss, were actually all undercover agents? But this couldn't be blamed on him.
Who could imagine that the number of undercover agents around herself was actually more than the number of loyal subjects...
"Sigh, I'm a bit looking forward to what expression he will show on the day he learns the truth." You Fei shook her head, full of schadenfreude.
Meanwhile, her eyes spun around, and she had a new micro-operation idea in her heart.
To be honest, this task given by this Furious Father God to monitor Big Boss was actually an opportunity.
She could completely use this excuse to threaten Big Boss! Of course, she hadn't thought of using this matter to control Big Boss, just hoped to use this chip to make Big Boss untie the collar around her neck!
She, a noble princess, how could she wear a collar?
What kind of system was this! In Her Highness the Princess's eyes, a flame named fighting spirit ignited.
But wouldn't that be not too good...
Although Big Boss this Rising Dong Xi had a somewhat bad personality, somewhat sinister, somewhat shameless, but after all he was her life-saving benefactor...
No no no, You Fei, you can't think like that.
You don't plan to really betray him, you're just bluffing, yes, bluffing! Just bluff him! Sigh, should I do this or not, so conflicted...
While pondering, she had already walked to outside Big Boss's tent, lifted the curtain, and You Fei's eyebrows furrowed all at once.
Only to see that inside the tent, besides Big Boss, there was also standing a woman nearly two meters tall.
That exaggerated and lewd bust and unbelievably slender willow waist made You Fei instantly feel ashamed.
This, this, this has H, right?
Does such a figure really exist?
"Mm, Regina, you go out first." Big Boss patted the Elf Female Knight's buttocks: "Just remember to do what I told you."
"Uh, Master, that..." The always straightforward Regina at this moment had rosy cheeks, extremely shy, not knowing what Big Boss had actually told her.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, I understand, Regina will make preparations." Finally, the Female Knight still bowed in salute and chose to accept.
Just when turning to leave, she glanced at You Fei with a scrutinizing gaze.
This gaze made You Fei very uncomfortable; ghost-driven, she straightened her waist and hummed. Regina raised her eyebrows, but finally said nothing and left the tent.
After she left, You Fei suddenly realized that her earlier behavior was just like a new concubine in the harem competing for favor.
This made Her Highness the Third Princess's mood instantly turn bad.
Competing for favor?
Me? Don't joke! If Big Boss was willing to serve Her Highness the Queen, I might even be willing to give him a chance to lick my feet!
Hum! Thinking this, hot-blooded, her earlier hesitation also vanished.
The Third Princess quickly walked to Big Boss's front, hands on waist: "Hum hum, Big Boss, do you know what task the Furious Father God just gave me?"
Big Boss didn't lift his head, indifferently picked up a Magic Book and flipped through it: "What task could it be, of course it's to monitor me."
"Ah? How do you know, uh, hateful, lift your head, look straight at me!" You Fei felt Big Boss's indifference and stomped her feet fiercely.
"If you have something to say, say it; if not, get lost." Big Boss however ignored her completely.
Ahhhhh, no one has ever spoken to me like this, you bastard!!! You Fei was angered until her face flushed red, her ears were steaming.
She sneered, snatched the Magic Book from Big Boss's hand in one go, then whined: "Mr. Big Boss, you wouldn't want your undercover identity exposed, would you?"
Big Boss: "???"
Princess of the Neon Kingdom, please restrain yourself.
"Hmph hmph, know fear now?" Seeing Big Boss not speak, You Fei looked smug: "Want this princess to cooperate with you? That's file simple. You just need to untie the collar for me, then guarantee you'll respect me from now on, and I'll accompany you to pit that Wrathful Father God!"
Big Boss still didn't speak, merely looking at her calmly.
"Hey, why aren't you speaking? Do you really think I dare not inform on you!" You Fei crossed her arms at her waist, pouting.
"Then go inform on me."
"Hmph hmph, that's more like it. In that case, I'll... wait, what did you say?" You Fei froze.
"I said, go inform on me." Big Boss yawned, took the book back from You Fei's hand: "You want to go, don't you? Then go."
"I..."
This time, the Third Princess was directly hard-controlled.
She never intended to inform in the first place; she just hoped to use this method to control Big Boss, force him to yield.
But now, Big Boss was impervious to persuasion.
She was like a sow roasting on a fire, not knowing what to do.
If she went to inform, it would be tearing down face with Big Boss; in that case, her little life would certainly not be guaranteed.
If she didn't go inform, it would be equivalent to slapping her own face, declaring herself an idiot.
In an instant, she fell into a dilemma.
"I, I..."
"Princess still not planning to go?" Big Boss said calmly, picking up the red tea to the side and taking a light sip.
"I, I... hmph!" You Fei suddenly let out a coquettish huff, pulled out a chair angrily, and sat down.
She hugged her chest, her fragrant cheeks puffed up, just like a hamster.
Skin white as jade, faintly red from anger, sweat dripping from her cheeks and neck, as if she had just experienced something.
"Princess wasn't planning to go inform? Why not go?" Big Boss flatly flipped through the magic book in hand.
This demon race's magic was all killing methods, not quite matching his sunshine big boy style.
"Hmph, this princess goes if she wants, doesn't go if she doesn't, none of your business!" You Fei rolled her eyes at Big Boss again, sat hugging her chest on her own, and refused to pay her any more mind.
Time passed second by second like this, until Big Boss used quantum reading to finish flipping through the last magic book, then he tapped the table with the book:
"Princess, this is the first lesson I'm giving you. When you don't have the courage to flip the table, don't try to threaten others."
"A sword wielder, only when the sword can be drawn, can make people fear."
"..." You Fei didn't expect Big Boss would say this kind of thing to her, and froze for a moment.
Immediately after, the flush that had just faded from her cheeks rose again.
"You, you mind your own business! What giving me a lesson, you're not my teacher! Hmph!"
"Princess, not planning to ascend that supreme position?" Big Boss said calmly.
"Ah?"
This sentence, like the sharpest sword, pierced straight through the large lump of fat at the left chest, piercing through the princess's heart.
She stared blankly at Big Boss, the resentment on her face gradually disappearing.
Replacing it was incredulity.
"You, you how..."
"The year you went to the battlefield, which was also the year you were framed by Blood-stained Rose, you were 14 years old. And, you secretly ran onto the battlefield." Big Boss stated softly:
"It was you who begged Blood-stained Rose to bring you. On one hand, you wanted to revenge for your second brother. On the other hand, you wanted to stop your big brother from limb grafting the Crown Prince."
"You naively thought your big brother became that neither-human-nor-ghost appearance because he wanted to save this world, not disgrace the Jie Lü name."
"So you felt if you could prove you were more excellent than your big brother, your big brother wouldn't have to suffer so hard, torment himself so."
"If you could become the next Emperor of Tianming Divine Court, your big brother could lay down the heavy burden on his shoulders."
"This is your reason for going to the Night City Battle. Hehe, truly a reason naive to the extreme. But considering you were only fourteen that year, it's acceptable."
"You, you how do you know..." You Fei stared blankly at Big Boss, unable to speak for a moment.
"Just simple intelligence compilation."
Big Boss said indifferently.
He indeed wasn't lying.
What he just said, a lot of information came from the character background story in the PC version.
The brain-computer version and PC version, the comparatively big difference, lies only in the outcome of the Night City Battle.
In the PC version, You Fei survived back to the King's Court, established brilliant zhan fu, held power in the court, and confronted the Eldest Prince limb grafting Crown Prince on equal footing. In this version, she was seized.
But looking at it now, the demonized You Fei BOSS I killed in the PC version might also have been seized by Blood-stained Rose.
When Big Boss played the PC version back then, he felt something was off.
A fourteen-year-old princess with not much power, how did she secretly sneak into the Abyss Expeditionary Force and establish brilliant zhan fu? Looking now, she might have been a chess piece from the start.
It was Blood-stained Rose who set up this bureau, purpose being to seize her.
"I, I..." You Fei looked at Big Boss, voice halting.
For a moment, she had the feeling of being stripped naked, standing naked in front of Big Boss.
Fear, shame, surprise, shyness, these inexplicable emotions tormented her.
Then, she gently lowered her head, muttering: "Laugh if you want to laugh. Female Emperor or whatever, was originally a foolish delusion."
"Not a delusion oh." Big Boss looked at her gently: "Who stipulated the next Emperor of Tianming Divine Court cannot be a Female Emperor?"
"Ah?"
You Fei slowly raised her head, staring wide-eyed at Big Boss.
She had thought Big Boss would mock her for overestimating herself.
Or scoff at her dream.
She never expected that this thing that kept screwing her over since birth could actually speak human words.
Suddenly, she felt like crying.
This was the first time in her life that someone had affirmed her thoughts.
Before, whether it was teachers or friends, as soon as they heard she had such thoughts, they would make her shut her mouth, lest she bring disaster upon herself.
For so many years, only this rising Dong Xi had truly encouraged her...
"Want, want you to meddle!" You Fei pressed her lips: "Whether I become the Female Emperor or not, what does it have to do with you, anyway, anyway, the rewards I promised to give you in the future, I absolutely won't short you!"
"Why does Princess You Fei want that throne?" Big Boss continued talking to himself.
"Who, who doesn't want the throne, that is the supreme position, that is Ten Thousand Above!" You Fei said in a panic.
"Is that really so?" Big Boss looked at her, in his pitch-black pupils revealing the light of seeing through human hearts.
"I..." You Fei still wanted to refute, but caught by that glance, inexplicably turned her head, and sighed:
"When I was very young, I just thought being emperor was awesome, cool, so I said that. Actually, I never thought about putting it into action."
"Until that day, Blood Rose took me to the sewers of the Royal Capital."
"Do you know? Big Boss, there were piled full of corpses of the dead, there were Human Race, there were Dwarves, there were Beastmen, and there were Blood Clan... their bodies were twisted to the point they didn't even look like..."
"The whole sewer was piled full, every once in a while, they had to call a Warlock to burn everything inside into ashes."
"Those people, those dead, were all called the price, the price for Big Brother to gain power..."
"I don't want such things to continue... but if Big Brother ascends, then such things... will only keep increasing."
"I don't want to, I really don't want to, see so many dead people again."
As she spoke, this Princess held her cuffs with both hands, tears falling drop by drop.
So that was it, Blood Rose relied on this scene to make You Fei sneak out of the Imperial Capital and join the expedition force.
She therefore obtained the opportunity to possess her.
Using the princess's pity, quite a good scheme.
However, this reason for wanting to be emperor really surprised Big Boss.
Turns out in this bullshit game, there actually existed good people within the King's Court...
Big Boss reached out his hand, rubbed You Fei's head, and said gently: "You've worked hard."
"I..." You Fei pressed her lips, trying hard not to let tears fall.
Although her actual age, she was already over fifty, almost sixty.
But subtracting the time spent sleeping, she was nothing more than a fourteen-year-old little girl.
For a moment, grievance, pain, regret, fear, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, a mixture of feelings.
Tears poured down like a downpour.
And Big Boss's face curved up slightly.
Little girl, empty heart, gaining recognition...
So many buffs maxed out.
If he Big Boss didn't do something, how could he count as a Gentleman? (Chapter Complete)
