Madam General, please run slower.

Chapter 146: Buried together

Li was amused by Yu Xun's serious attitude, which seemed to be treating state affairs. "Okay, then I'll leave my safety to the general."

"Yes." Yu Xun was eager to be responsible for all of Li's affairs. "I ruined the meat just now. I'll go cut some fruit for you to fill your stomach."

Li originally wanted to say that she didn't want to eat, but Yu Xun ran so fast that he didn't even wait for Li to open his mouth.

The swing swayed gently with Li's movements. Li looked at Yu Xun's busy figure, feeling somewhat helpless.

Yu Xun, ah Yu Xun, what should I do with you?

The crying voice of Tanghulu in the sea of ​​consciousness interrupted Li's thoughts.

"Master, master, please save Tanghulu."

Li looked in the direction of Yu Xiaochen. He and Wei Shiliu each held a branch and did not stop until they poked the scorpion to the ground.

"Tell me about your situation first, and then I'll consider whether to save you or not." Li used his consciousness to respond to Tanghulu's words.

There was a moment of silence in the sea of ​​consciousness, and Tanghulu said intermittently: "Wuwu... I feel itchy and painful now, how can I explain this."

"There's nothing I can do. It's just a child, what can I do to you?" Li said mercilessly.

Only a child would play it to death! ! Tanghulu really wanted to scream. This little brat was too rough. He couldn't bite him for the sake of his owner. It was so annoying.

"Wuwu Master, please save me. If I die, you will become a useless person. Please save me, wuwuwu."

Hearing Tanghulu's words, Li's expression also became serious, "Speak clearly, what kind of useless person is this?"

"If I die, my master's spiritual power will also dissipate, ugh!" Tanghulu couldn't hold back the retching sound. Yu Xiaochen hit its stomach with a stick again, and it was almost dying of pain.

"Xiao Chen, let it come over." Li clicked his tongue and spoke out to stop Yu Xiaochen's actions.

"Okay." Yu Xiaochen happily took back the branch. If it bullied his sister again, he would kill it.

Tanghulu, who was freed, ran as fast as he could, climbed up along the hem of Li's clothes, and nestled in Li's arms, not daring to move.

"Master o(╥﹏╥)o" Tanghulu's voice was so pitiful.

Although Li is not afraid of insects, she doesn't like them either. She will chew them when she's really hungry. So when Tanghulu acted like a spoiled child, Li didn't feel anything at all.

"Tell me, what's going on."

Li's tone made Tanghulu panic, and he said tremblingly, "I was forced to leave the master's body, and I have to rely on the master's spiritual power to survive before I reach adulthood. If I die before reaching adulthood, I will instinctively absorb the spiritual power in the master's body when I die until the spiritual power is exhausted."

Li frowned. Very good, another person's lifeline is in someone's hands.

"If I'm not mistaken, if I want you to reach adulthood, I either have to go back with them to my tribe and become a goddess, or I have to fight in the forbidden area of ​​the cold palace, right?"

"Well, actually the master has no choice." Tanghulu shrank his head in fear, "The master must first go to the forbidden land of the cold palace, get the inheritance, and then return to the tribe to become a goddess, so that I can have enough spiritual power to reach adulthood."

"Okay! Very good! What exactly do you want?" Li's teeth were itching, and he wished he could bite the bug in front of him to death.

"Some of the tribe's rituals require the blood of the goddess to maintain."

Tanghulu didn’t know much, but it had some vague guesses in its mind. However, that was not a good thing. It just hoped that it was overthinking.

"What a crap goddess, she has nothing to do with me." Li never recognized this sudden identity of a goddess, nor did he have the leisure to worry about the survival of a tribe.

"Master..." Tanghulu took a deep breath. He could imagine the master's furious expression when he heard what he was going to say next. He could only bite the bullet and continue: "If the master doesn't obey the instructions, they will attack the people around you."

Tanghulu's voice became softer and softer, and finally he couldn't help trembling, because the person in the dream said that he would practice with it first.

Thinking of the way the man tortured the beast in the dream, Tanghulu really wanted to die. But if it died, the master's Dantian would be destroyed and the body would be damaged, and in the end it would be controlled by others. Even if it committed suicide, it would not solve the problem.

Thinking of this Tanghulu, he couldn't help crying again, and his surging emotions were dissipated by its sobs.

"Okay, I haven't cried yet, why are you crying?" Li lifted up the whole candied haws by its tail and looked curiously at the scorpion that was shedding tears.

"Woo woo, Tanghulu doesn't want to die."

"As long as we live, we will all live well." Li poked its big head and consoled it. He just felt that it was a little funny to see himself comforting a scorpion.

Yu Xun had already cut the fruit. Seeing Li talking to the scorpion, he did not come over to disturb them. Only when Li set his eyes on him did Yu Xun come over with the fruit plate.

Li placed the scorpion in his hand on his shoulder and was about to reach out to take the fruit plate from Yu Xun's hand, but Yu Xun dodged him.

Yu Xun picked up a bamboo stick and passed a piece of apple to Li's mouth, "You just touched the scorpion and your hands are dirty. I'll feed you."

Hearing Yu Xun's words, Tanghulu's whole body was not good, "You are the dirtiest, your whole family is dirty, but I am not dirty."

Yu Xun glanced at it indifferently and said, "You just rolled on the ground."

Tanghulu: ...Well, he has a point.

Li opened his mouth and took the food from Yu Xun, "Well, I have something I would like to ask the general for help."

"You say." Yu Xun immediately perked up. This was the first time Li asked him for help after their reunion.

"I'm going to the cold palace." Although Li could use talismans to enter the palace unnoticed, that would consume a large amount of talismans. What if the person behind her didn't realize that she had gone to the cold palace?

Therefore, relying on Yu Xun's power is the best way to let the person behind the scenes know that she is obedient, while avoiding being noticed by people in the palace. In addition, Li also wants to study Yu Xun's complicated underground passages.

"When should we go?" Several feasible options have already emerged in Yu Xun's mind.

"The sooner the better." Li didn't know when they would attack the people around her, and she couldn't afford to take the risk. She had to admit that she had a lot of ties during the years she had been in this plane. Li didn't think it was a big deal to have a weakness. Compared to the lonely and boring life of a killer, she preferred this kind of life. She would do her best to protect them.

If they can't protect him... no matter what force they are in, they will be buried with him.

Yu Xun nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it."

"I am naturally confident in your work, General." Li looked at the fruit plate in his hand and motioned him to continue feeding him.

Yu Xun immediately picked up the bamboo stick and changed the fruit to feed her, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Tanghulu looked at the two people in front of him who smiled at each other as soon as they looked at each other, and buried his head in the pair of big claws, trying to pretend that out of sight, out of mind.

Yu Xun acted quickly and informed Li that it was time to take action the next night.

Li followed Yu Xun in the underground passage and asked curiously, "Did you dig all these tunnels?"

"No, it was there when my great-grandfather was alive." Yu Xun held the lamp and explained while keeping an eye on the ground for Li. "There is only one road leading to the palace. It is said that it was the escape route designed by my great-grandfather and the founding emperor. But it was sealed for some reason later, and the descendants of the Qu family don't know about it either."

"Where does this passage lead to the imperial palace?" Li had never expected that the age of this tunnel was almost as old as she was in her previous life.

"It's right near the cold palace." Yu Xun took Li's hand and gestured, "Go this way."

Soon the two reached the end of the tunnel, where Wei Yi was already waiting for them.
