Chapter 352: Lingxiang and Guihua Confront Each Other

Guihua had her entire mind set on Boluohui; she truly hadn't eaten a man in a long time, let alone a man, she hadn't even seen a woman.

Ever since she followed the Demon Lord back to the Demon Realm and Humoukou was destroyed, causing the Netherworld to be cut off from the Human Realm, Guihua had been unable to enter the Human Realm at will.

Now that she had finally caught sight of a man, how could it not make Guihua crave him so much that her soul nearly left her body?

Lingxiang glanced at the distracted Guihua and cursed her thoroughly in secret, yet her face remained pleasant and amiable.

"What does the General think?"

What? What think?

Guihua suddenly snapped back to reality, nearly forgetting her own situation.

This little brat was not easy to fool, and she had to keep her wits about her.

Guihua slurped up the saliva that had flowed to the corner of her mouth, cleared her throat, and said quite rudely, "What did you say?"

Lingxiang was not surprised; in any case, she had never taken it to heart, as the two of them held a deep blood feud.

"The General must be exhausted from so many affairs; truly, you are dutiful and conscientious!"

Hah!

Stinking brat! Why I have so many affairs, don't you have any idea in your heart?

"Speak your mind if you have something to say, spit it out if you have a fart, why put on this hypocritical act? I'm busy!"

Busy with those shitty, messy affairs of yours!

Seeing this, Lingxiang couldn't be bothered to prevaricate with Guihua; after all, they both knew exactly where they stood, so there was no need for such acting.

"Since the General is so straightforward, then this Princess will stop putting on airs."

As Lingxiang spoke, she gave a look to Adao and Zhanli at the door; the two understood and immediately closed the main gate.

Seeing this, Guihua sneered inwardly.

This stinking brat had finally revealed her true colors; was she trying to kill her? She would need the ability to do so first.

But to Guihua's surprise, Lingxiang had no intention of making a move, only asking coolly: "Where is the Maidong you brought to the Demon Realm two years ago?"

Oh~ so it was for her!

Guihua sneered as she took her seat, poured a cup of wine into her mouth, and then spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"I thought that since you became a Princess, you had forgotten your former good sister; so you were still thinking of her?" As she spoke, she leaned her whole body back—she truly hadn't relaxed in a long time.

However, Lingxiang began to sing at this moment.

"Hey-yo-yo~"

Guihua couldn't help but shiver, and she hurriedly sat up straight.

Dead brat! Coming at me with this again!

"It's all for the Demon Lord Father! The General also knows that his strange illness never seems to get better." Lingxiang said, feigning a wipe of her eye, looking heartbroken.

"This Princess, seeing the Demon Lord Father like that, is truly heartbroken. Isn't that right? I've just concocted a new recipe for a Medicinal Bath, and I was counting on seeing how effective it is after the General bathes in it!"

Hmm? What?

Guihua suddenly widened her eyes: "Wasn't that Medicinal Bath something you wanted to test yourself?"

Hearing this, Lingxiang blinked her eyes, looking completely innocent.

"Naturally I wanted to test it, but hasn't the one testing the medicine always been you, General?"

What? Me again?

Upon hearing this, Guihua was so angry she overturned the small table, stood up, and pointed at Lingxiang, cursing loudly.

"You plague-ridden mongrel, playing me for a fool again! Do you believe I can poison you to death right now?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhanli flashed in front of Lingxiang to block her. Lingxiang patted his shoulder to signal that it was fine, and Zhanli hesitated for a moment before stepping aside.

Hah! What a joke! Even with ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare do anything to her.

But Lingxiang pouted, looking as if she were about to cry: "What is the General doing? Isn't it just testing medicine for the Demon Lord Father? Could it be that the General is unwilling?"

"Oh my!" Lingxiang said, while giving a look to Adao who was still at the door, and began to sing loudly again.

Adao understood and immediately opened the hall doors. At this moment, Lingxiang could be heard crying with a voice full of vigor despite the sobbing tone:

"What does the General mean by this? Since arriving in the Demon Realm, when has this Princess ever bathed or changed clothes? This mortal body of mine cannot withstand the water of the Netherworld! Is the General trying to make this Princess die?"

"It is merely asking the General to test the medicine for the Demon Lord Father, yet the General makes all sorts of excuses; could it be that the General is truly weary of him?"

"It's not that this Princess cannot test the medicine, but if something goes wrong during the test, not only will it make the Demon Lord Father sad, but who will be left to prepare medicine for him in the future? May I ask, who else in the Demon Realm can refine the Life-Prolonging Pill?"

Guihua glared with rage, so angry she couldn't even speak.

Lingxiang's booming voice could be heard clearly not just in Shiyang Hall, but likely in the neighboring palaces as well, let alone by the guards outside the hall.

If any guard were to gossip and it reached the ears of the Lord, wouldn't she be skinned alive?

The entire hall echoed with Lingxiang's fake sobbing, which left Guihua unable to catch her breath, her chest aching with a blockage; it took her quite a while to recover.

"Stop that wailing!" Guihua lowered her voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Lingxiang feigned wiping the corner of her eye and said aggrievedly: "Look at how the General puts it; what do you mean by what I want? What I want depends entirely on what the General wants, doesn't it?"

These words were clever; those who didn't know would think Lingxiang had suffered a great grievance, but in reality, it was a blatant threat.

"You!" Guihua was choked with anger.

This dead brat actually dared to threaten her!

But before Guihua could react, she heard Lingxiang ask with a sincere face: "Could it be that the General does not want the Demon Lord Father to recover?"

"You are spouting nonsense and slandering people!" Guihua hurriedly looked outside.

This was no small matter; if it reached the ears of the Demon Lord, the consequences...

"Indeed, isn't it all for the Demon Lord Father?" Lingxiang smiled, then continued: "The Demon Lord Father's strange illness never heals; it must be that my medical skills are not refined enough. However, I have always been skilled in the way of medicine, and if it comes to medical skills, Maidong leaves me in the dust by miles. Since she happens to have been brought to the Demon Realm by you, General, could it be that you are reluctant to part with her?"

Lingxiang sighed heavily as she spoke: "Then this Princess will have to tell the Demon Lord Father every single word, so as not to be blamed later for not having done my best."

Hmph! You little thing! If you don't agree today, see if I don't finish you off!

Facing such a threat, Guihua did not get angry but instead laughed.

"Do you truly wish to see her?"

Lingxiang frowned, though she returned to her normal state in an instant; she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"Naturally, I am in earnest."

Could it be that Guihua had secretly played some dirty tricks?

If Maidong were to suffer any mishap, let's see if you could still walk out of Shiyang Hall in one piece.

"I can give the person to you, but don't blame me for not warning you; whether that little girl is human or ghost now has nothing to do with me."

Nothing to do with you? Ha! That is truly a massive joke.

Lingxiang waved her hand without answering, and Guihua turned her head to walk out of the hall, but Lingxiang called out to stop her.

"Where is the General going?"

Where am I going? I am going to fetch that stinking girl for you!

"Wait for this Princess a moment," Lingxiang said, rising unhurriedly, "This Princess has seen plenty of the General's methods, so naturally, I must accompany the General, lest the General..."

Lingxiang did not state it clearly, but the implication was self-evident.
