Chapter 40: The Condition for Saving the Princess

"I know, Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine!"

Hearing this sentence, the look of being in control on Princess Yan Yang's face instantly disappeared, and her whole face froze instantly.

Zi Xuan also widened her eyes, unbelievable.

Xu Que smiled lightly: "Ji Wanqing, this heart of yours is truly black to the extreme. You harmed me once and it wasn't enough, and you wanted to harm me a second time. According to my previous temper, you should be a dead person now. But I changed my mind, I want to see what happens after you drink the Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine..."

"You... what did you say?" Princess Yan Yang was panicked on the spot, looking at Xu Que with full shock, her body swayed, and she took a step back abruptly.

Zi Xuan's expression also changed, horrified: "Xu Que, you... what did you do?"

"Nothing much, just swapped the wine." Xu Que shrugged his shoulders, looked at Princess Yan Yang, and smiled lightly: "Logically speaking, you should be burning all over now, wanting to take off your clothes!"

"Presumptuous, you... you..." Princess Yan Yang was both shocked and angry, but before she finished speaking, she immediately noticed that her body was abnormal, and her heart was greatly shocked.

"I also reminded you just now, don't play tricks, but unfortunately you didn't listen, and insisted on being clever. This is called self-inflicted, you can't live!" Xu Que sneered, crossed his hands over his chest, leaned against a large tree, and prepared to watch the show.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine in Princess Yan Yang's body erupted, impacting her whole body like fire, instantly losing all strength. Following that, she sat down on the ground directly, and red clouds began to rise on her face, clearly a reaction to being poisoned.

"Sizzle!"

She began to tear her clothes.

Zi Xuan was immediately panicked on the side, hurriedly ran to her side to support her, and said anxiously: "Princess, you... woo..."

Before she finished speaking, Zi Xuan was actually pulled over by Princess Yan Yang.

Xu Que was stunned.

Damn, this medicine is too strong, it seems better to stay far away...

Xu Que touched his chin, considering whether to climb up the tree to watch.

But at this time, Zi Xuan had already struggled out of Princess Yan Yang's hands. Facing Princess Yan Yang who was completely trapped in the toxicity of the Heavenly Heart Yin-Yang Wine, Zi Xuan was still strong enough to occupy the upper hand in strength.

She stood up with a flushed face, her fingers condensed, and a blue True Essence appeared at her fingertips, like clear water, drawing an arc out of thin air, pointing directly at Princess Yan Yang.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, Princess Yan Yang was surrounded by a circular water flow, following that, blue light emerged, water flow surged, turning into a half-bowl-shaped water shield, directly imprisoning Princess Yan Yang inside. It was actually a Water Prison Technique.

"Water Origin Spiritual Energy? So you are from the Water Yuan Kingdom!" Xu Que said slightly surprised.

After Zi Xuan finished all this, she turned around abruptly, bit her lower lip with her teeth, faced Xu Que, and actually knelt down directly.

"Xu Que, Zi Xuan begs you, save the Princess!" she said trembling, tears welling up in her clear eyes.

Xu Que's expression sank instantly, sneering: "She brought this on herself. Unless my head was kicked by a donkey, it's impossible for me to save her for no reason. Now watching her die like this is exactly what I want."

"Xu Que, as long as you are willing to save the Princess, Zi Xuan is willing to give you my lifelong cultivation and spirit root, be a slave and a maid, to make up for everything they did to you back then, please save her!" Zi Xuan begged bitterly, pear blossoms with rain on her face, making a promise that was hard to believe.

Xu Que was unmoved, shook his head lightly: "Your cultivation and spirit root are of no use to me, and I don't need a slave."

"Then what do you want, as long as you are willing to save the Princess, Zi Xuan is willing to do anything!" Zi Xuan begged bitterly.

"Is that so? Speaking of which, I really need one thing." Xu Que's mouth rose, and he said: "Give me the Imperial Tomb maps of the Fire Yuan Kingdom and the Water Yuan Kingdom!"

Zi Xuan was stunned.

Xu Que continued: "What do you want the Imperial Tomb map for?" Zi Xuan asked in astonishment.

"Nothing, just go in and stroll around, see what treasures I can take." Xu Que smiled lightly.

Zi Xuan shook her head: "It's useless. Even if you have the map in hand, there are countless restrictions in the Imperial Tomb, even Infant Transformation Stage experts dare not step into it easily. Once you enter it, no one has ever been able to walk out alive, you..."

"Don't worry about so much, I just want the map." Xu Que interrupted her words.

Xu Que was clear about how dangerous the Imperial Tomb was, but if he could get the map, his risk would definitely be reduced by more than half.

Zi Xuan fell silent, her eyes flickering, as if she was hesitating.

"Ah..."

At this time, the painful voice of Princess Yan Yang in the water prison became stronger and stronger.

Zi Xuan gritted her teeth, raised her head and said: "I promise you, as long as you save the Princess, I will go to the Water Yuan Kingdom and get the Imperial Tomb map for you. But the Imperial Tomb map of the Fire Yuan Kingdom is treasured in the Forbidden Ground of the Heavenly Hall, and only the bloodline descendants of the Ji family can pass through. In this world, only the Fire Emperor, several Princes, and the Princess can enter."

"So you want to tell me that the Imperial Tomb map of the Fire Yuan Kingdom cannot be obtained? If that's the case, then I can't help you save people, after all, my sacrifice is quite large, it's all my lifelong treasures." Xu Que said lightly.

If saving the Princess could be exchanged for two Imperial Tomb maps, Xu Que would naturally be happy. Anyway, he had spent seven days and seven nights back then, so doing it again now wouldn't be a loss!

Zi Xuan said in a low voice: "I can persuade the Princess to give the Imperial Tomb map to you."

"Good, then take this pill first." Xu Que flipped his hand and took out a bottle of pills.

"This pill is called the Three Corpses Soul-Devouring Pill. Once taken, there is no cure. If you lie to me or have evil intentions, I can make you die with one thought, and don't think about dying and ending it all, I will throw you into the most crowded place in the Imperial City..."

"You..." Zi Xuan heard this, and instantly trembled, looking at Xu Que in disbelief.

Even without listening to the second half of the sentence, she understood what Xu Que meant, but it was hard to believe that this youth actually had such a heartless method, and was so defensive against them.

But thinking about it carefully, having experienced the Fire Emperor's plot to take the spirit root, no matter what this youth was like before, this temperament now was actually normal.

"Eat or not, you decide for yourself!" At this time, Xu Que said expressionlessly, placing the pill in his palm.

"I'll eat!"

Zi Xuan gritted her teeth, took the pill, swallowed it directly, and looked at Xu Que with pleading eyes, saying: "Save the Princess."

Xu Que took a deep breath, and his mood suddenly became strange.
