Chapter 240: Her Royal Highness's Decision
Inside the command tent, the furious Father God threw a small box into Li Cheng's hands.
"Raging, take this."
"This is..." Li Cheng opened the box and saw a pill inside.
[Magic Gathering Elixir (Epic): It can increase the magic power level of the person who takes it, greatly improving their strength. It is a rare elixir. 】
[There are many different opinions about the origin of this magical medicine. The only thing that is certain is that it is definitely not an ordinary item. ]
"Raging, you have made many contributions, and this is a reward for you." The Furious Father God walked up to Li Cheng and patted him on the shoulder: "In addition, you can go to the treasury to get the reward I promised you at any time."
"Thank you, Father God." Li Cheng thanked him respectfully, looking very loyal.
"Well, but don't ask about what happens next." The furious father said, "Leave the rest of the decisive battle to Rui to command."
Li Cheng narrowed his eyes, knowing full well that Bao Rong was doubting him.
But he did not panic and resist, and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Well, Angry, you don't need to complain too much. I am doing this to train you." The Angry Father God also began his own grand plan: "You are still young and need to settle down more. Take these books back and study them well."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and two waiters came in pushing a small cart.
Li Cheng picked up a book in the car and found that it was some abyss magic.
Although the levels are not all very high, they are all quite rare and are books that cannot be found outside.
It seems that in order to win over myself and not let myself down, this rage was well prepared.
"Thank you, Father God. I will study hard." Li Cheng said respectfully.
"Well, you go down." The angry father waved his hand and ended the conversation.
After Li Cheng left the tent, the Furious Father God looked at You Fei and said, "Ms. Blood Rose, are you okay?"
"Ah! I'm fine, thank you Father God!"
Yuffie was stunned for a moment before answering.
She had just seen Li Cheng suffer a setback and was gloating over his misfortune.
Unexpectedly, she was hit by the rage.
Yufei looked at the red-haired man in front of her who was two times older than her, feeling the wild pressure of magic power from him, and couldn't help swallowing.
Is this one of the Seven Gods of the Abyss?
Such terrifying power...I'm afraid only my father can be compared with it.
Li Cheng was actually working undercover for such a terrifying enemy...
He was able to remain calm in the face of danger and design all kinds of traps...
Unconsciously, her evaluation of Li Cheng had increased a bit.
“Don’t be nervous, Miss Blood Rose. You are the daughter of my subordinate, so I naturally have the obligation to save you. So…” The furious father god waved his hand, and a communication magic circle lit up in the air.
Then, Typhon's voice came from the other side:
"Father God, are you looking for me?"
"Well, Typhon, look who this is." The Wrathful Father said as he stepped aside to allow Euphie to appear in the picture.
When Typhon saw her, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Mom!"
Yufei: "..."
Angry Father God: “???”
Wait a minute, isn’t Blood Rose your daughter?
How did you become a mother?
The furious Father God looked at Typhon in confusion.
"Uh..." Typhon realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and said with some embarrassment: "Father God, she is actually the reincarnation of my mother. She is only claimed to be her daughter."
"Another person, I see." The Furious Father God nodded and looked at Yufei meaningfully.
Hello, mom!
A mother is better than a daughter!
A daughter may betray her father, but a mother will never betray her son.
Now, Blood Rose can be completely trusted!
On the other hand, You Fei will soon move to Bengbu.
Waiting online, this is my first time being a mother, and a mother of a white-haired old man, I don’t know what to do, please help, it’s urgent…
"Ahem, Typhon, I have done what I promised you. Now it is your turn to do what you promised me." The furious Father God knocked on the table.
"When I take over Full Moon Academy, you and your son will be able to meet each other."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Typhon bowed respectfully, but his lowered eyes were full of teasing.
Oh, you did it?
I have followed you for so many years. If you wanted to save my mother, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
How could I not know who saved my mother?
Of course it’s my father Li Cheng!
You scum, you actually want to steal the credit from my father. Why don’t you take a piss and look in the mirror to see how ugly you look?
When my father is ready, I will avenge you for torturing my mother!
Typhon suppressed his anger and pretended to be flattering: "Father, Your Majesty, Typhon will do his best to share your worries!"
"Well, that's very good!" The Furious Father God stroked his mustache happily, and was quite satisfied with his own wisdom and bravery.
Now, he should have completely conquered Typhon.
His loyalty, his body, will be his own.
I think it won’t be long before I can taste him.
After the call was cut off, the Furious Father God looked at Youfei again: "Ms. Blood Rose, as you can see, your son is working for me. I think you and he should be on the same side, right?"
Yufei: "..."
Haha, his mother took away my body and made me a vegetable for more than 40 years. What do you think?
I wish I could cut him into pieces!
Of course, Yufei would not say these words. She maintained a respectable and elegant aristocratic smile: "Father, I am naturally on your side."
"Hahaha, very good, very good." The furious father laughed wildly. "Now, I have another powerful general! By the way, what do you think about the Heavenly Destiny Royal Court?"
"If possible, I will break into the palace and take back everything that belongs to me." You Fei clenched her fists and spoke word by word.
Her words came from the bottom of her heart, without any falsehood.
If there was one thing she wanted to do most at this moment, it was revenge.
Feeling the murderous intent in her words, the Furious Father God completely relaxed.
When he asked this question, he deliberately used his ability to detect lies.
There was not a trace of falsehood in Blood Rose's words.
She made no secret of her anger towards the royal court.
"This is a trustworthy and very useful chess piece." The Wrathful Father God thought so.
He narrowed his eyes again and stood with his hands behind his back: "Blood Rose, I will help you fulfill your wish and kill the third princess of the royal court."
Yufei: "..."
"But the prerequisite is that you have to complete my mission." The Furious Father God turned his head and looked at her meaningfully: "The first thing is to monitor the actions of the Furious God General and report to me truthfully."
Yufei: "..."
"Of course, don't feel too burdened. I don't want to touch him. I just want to ensure safety."
Yufei: "..."
"Why don't you speak? Don't you want to do this mission?" The angry father god looked at her puzzledly.
"Hehe, I'll do anything to share Father God's worries!" You Fei resisted the urge to complain, knelt on one knee, and pretended to be pious.
"Well, very good! You can go ahead." The Furious Father God smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at Blood Rose's leaving back, he just felt in a good mood.
This time, he not only completely conquered the small cake Typhon, but also got Blood Rose, the former general of the human race.
The Furious God will be isolated and monitored. There is no need to worry that he is an undercover agent. Just wait quietly for the result and find a way to subdue him.
With military advisor Rui in command, leading the army into battle is foolproof.
The haze of bad luck in the previous period of time has completely dissipated, and what replaced it is a good situation where everything is going well.
"My luck has turned, my luck has turned, hahaha, it looks like I have a sure win in this Fire Battle." The furious Father God laughed wildly, "Oh no, I shouldn't be so short-sighted."
"What I should consider now is the domineering path of the Lord of the Abyss!"
"Hahahahahaha!!"
…………
On the other side, after walking out of the tent, His Highness Yufei could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
This furious Father God would never have thought of the three people he had just met.
Typhon, himself and Li Cheng, are they all undercover agents?
But you can't blame him.
Who would have thought that the number of undercover agents around him would be greater than the number of loyal ministers...
"Hey, I'm kind of looking forward to what kind of expression he'll have when he finds out the truth." Youfei shook her head, gloating.
At the same time, her eyes rolled around and a new idea for micro-management came to her mind.
It’s no wonder that the task given to me by the angry father god to monitor Li Cheng is an opportunity.
I can use this excuse to threaten Li Cheng!
Of course, she didn't intend to use this matter to control Li Cheng, but just hoped to use this bargaining chip to make Li Cheng untie the collar around her neck!
How could she, a princess of the royal family, wear a collar?
What a shame!
The flame of fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But this is not a good idea...
Although Li Cheng, the newly-risen Dongxi, has a bad character, is a bit sinister, and a bit shameless, he is still his savior after all...
No, no, Yufei, you can't think like that.
You don't really intend to betray him, you are just bluffing, yes, bluffing! Just to trick him!
Hey, should I do this? I'm so confused...
While thinking, she had already walked outside Li Cheng's tent. When she opened the curtain, You Fei's brows suddenly frowned.
In addition to Li Cheng, there was a woman nearly two meters tall standing in the tent.
The exaggerated bust and incredibly slender waist made Youfei feel ashamed of herself.
This, this, this all has H, right?
Does such a body type really exist?
"Well, Regina, you go out first." Li Cheng patted the elf female knight's butt: "Just remember to do what I told you to do."
"Um, Master, that..." Regina, who was usually not shy, now had rosy cheeks and was extremely shy. She didn't know what Li Cheng had said to her.
"what happened?"
"No, it's nothing. I understand. Regina will be ready." Finally, the female knight bowed and chose to accept.
But when he turned and left, he glanced at Yufei with a scrutinizing look.
This look made Yuffie very uncomfortable. For some reason, she straightened her back and snorted. Regina raised her eyebrows, but finally left the tent without saying anything.
After she left, You Fei suddenly realized that her previous move was just like a new concubine who was jealous in the harem.
This made Her Royal Highness the Third Princess feel bad all of a sudden.
Jealous?
I?
Do not make jokes!
If Li Cheng is willing to treat me as his queen, I might be willing to give him a chance to lick my feet!
snort!
Thinking of this, my blood boiled and the hesitation I had just had disappeared.
The Third Princess walked quickly to Li Cheng and put her hands on her waist. "Hehe, Li Cheng, do you know what task the Furious Father God gave me just now?"
Li Cheng didn't even raise his head. He picked up a magic book and started flipping through it. "What else could it be? Of course it's to monitor me."
"Ah? How do you know? Uh, damn it, raise your head and look at me!" You Fei felt Li Cheng's indifference and stomped her feet hard.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out." Li Cheng ignored her.
Aaaaahhh, no one ever talks to me like that, you bastard!!!
Yufei was so angry that her ears were flushed.
She sneered, snatched the magic book from Li Cheng's hand, and then hummed: "Mr. Li Cheng, you don't want your undercover identity to be exposed, right?"
Li Cheng: “???”
Princess of Neon Country, please take a moment to appreciate this.
“Hehe, are you scared now?” Seeing that Li Cheng didn’t say anything, You Fei said smugly: “If you want me to cooperate with you, it’s very simple. You just need to untie the collar for me and promise to respect me in the future, then I will help you to trick that angry Father God!”
Li Cheng still didn't speak, just looked at her indifferently.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Do you really think I don't dare to tell on you?" You Fei put her hands on her hips and pouted.
"Then go tell on them."
"Hehe, that's right. In this case, I will... wait, what did you say?" You Fei was stunned.
"I say, go and tell on them." Li Cheng yawned and took the book back from You Fei: "Don't you want to go? Then go ahead."
"I……"
This time, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess was directly controlled.
She had no intention of informing on the matter, she just wanted to use this method to control Li Cheng and force him to back down.
But now, Li Cheng refused to listen.
She was like a sow being roasted on the fire, not knowing what to do.
If I were to inform on him, it would be tantamount to breaking off relations with Li Cheng, and my life would be in danger.
If I don't tell on you, it would be like slapping myself in the face and declaring myself an idiot.
All of a sudden, she was in a dilemma.
"me……"
"Your Highness, are you not going to go yet?" Li Cheng said calmly, then picked up the black tea beside him and took a sip.
"I, I... Humph!" You Fei suddenly snorted, pulled out the stool angrily and sat down.
She crossed her arms over her chest, her cheeks puffed up, like a hamster.
Her skin, as white as jade, was slightly red due to anger, and sweat was dripping from her cheeks and neck, as if she had just experienced something.
"Didn't Your Highness the Princess plan to go and inform on the secret? Why didn't you go?" Li Cheng calmly flipped through the magic book in his hand.
The magic of these demons is all about killing, which doesn't quite fit the style of this sunny boy.
"Hmph, if I want to go, I will go. If I don't want to go, I won't go. What's it to you to care?" You Fei rolled her eyes at Li Cheng again, sat there with her arms crossed, and refused to pay any attention to her.
Time passed by minute by minute, until Li Cheng finished reading the last magic book with quantum reading. He knocked the book on the table:
"Your Highness, this is the first lesson I'm going to teach you. If you don't have the courage to overturn the table, don't try to threaten others."
"A sword-wielder can only be feared when the sword is unsheathed."
"..." You Fei didn't expect Li Cheng to say such words to her, and was stunned for a moment.
Then, the redness that had just faded from her cheeks reappeared.
"What do you care? You're not my teacher! Humph!"
"Your Highness, don't you plan to ascend to the supreme throne?" Li Cheng said lightly.
"what?"
These words were like the sharpest sword, piercing straight through the large lump of fat on the left chest and piercing through the princess' heart.
She stared at Li Cheng blankly, and the anger on her face gradually disappeared.
What replaced it was incredible.
"You, how did you..."
"You were 14 years old when you went to the battlefield, which was the year when Blood Rose framed you. Moreover, you ran to the battlefield secretly." Li Cheng stated softly:
"You begged Blood Rose to take you there. On the one hand, you wanted to avenge your second brother, and on the other hand, you wanted to stop your eldest brother from grafting the crown prince."
"You naively believe that your eldest brother turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance because he wanted to save the world and live up to the name of the commandments."
"So, you think that if you can prove that you are better than Big Brother, Big Brother won't work so hard and torture himself so much."
"If you can become the next emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Royal Court, your elder brother will be able to take off the burden on his shoulders."
"That's why you went to the Battle of Night City. Haha, it's such a naive reason. But considering that you were only fourteen years old at the time, it's acceptable."
"You, how do you know..." You Fei looked at Li Cheng blankly, speechless for a moment.
"It's just a simple compilation of information."
Li Cheng said calmly.
He certainly didn't lie.
What he just said, a lot of the information comes from the character background stories in the PC version.
The biggest difference between the PC version and the PC version is the ending of the Battle of Night City.
In the PC version, Yuffie returned to the royal court alive, and after making great military achievements, she became powerful and competed with the eldest prince and the crown prince. But in this version, she was possessed by another body.
But now it seems that the demonized BOSS Yufei that he killed in the PC version might have been possessed by the Blood Rose.
When Li Cheng was playing the PC version, he felt something was wrong.
How on earth could a fourteen-year-old princess with little power sneak into the Abyss Expedition and achieve such great military exploits?
Now it seems that maybe she was a pawn from the beginning.
It was Blood Rose who set up this trap in order to take over her body.
"I, I..." You Fei looked at Li Cheng, her voice intermittent.
For a moment, she felt as if her whole body had been stripped and she was standing naked in front of Li Cheng.
Fear, shame, surprise, shyness, these inexplicable emotions tormented her.
Then, she lowered her head and muttered, "Laugh if you want to. Empress is just a foolish fantasy."
"It's not a delusion." Li Cheng looked at her gently: "Who stipulated that the next emperor of the Tianming Royal Court can't be a female emperor?"
"what?"
You Fei slowly raised her head and looked at Li Cheng in amazement.
She thought that Li Cheng would laugh at her for overestimating her own abilities.
Or maybe, he scoffed at her dream.
She never thought that this creature who kept harming her could actually speak human language.
Suddenly, she felt like crying.
This was the first time in her life that someone affirmed her ideas.
In the past, whether it was teachers or friends, as long as they heard her having such thoughts, they would ask her to shut up to avoid bringing about fatal disaster.
Over the years, only Chu Sheng Dong Xi has really encouraged her...
"Yes, it's none of your business!" You Fei pursed her lips, "Whether I become the empress or not is none of your business. Anyway, I will definitely not give you less than the reward I promised you in the future!"
"Why does Your Highness Yufei want the throne?" Li Cheng continued to talk to himself.
"Emperor, who doesn't want the throne? It's the highest position, above everyone else!" You Fei said in panic.
"Is it really like this?" Li Cheng looked at her, his dark eyes revealing a light that could see through people's hearts.
"I..." Youfei wanted to refute, but after being looked at by those eyes, she turned her head away and sighed:
"When I was very young, I just thought that being an emperor was awesome and cool, so I said that. In fact, I never thought about putting it into action."
"Until that day, Blood Rose took me to the sewers of the royal city."
"Do you know, Li Cheng? There are corpses piled up there. There are humans, dwarves, orcs, and vampires... Their bodies are so twisted that they don't look like..."
"The entire sewer is filled with heaps. Every once in a while, we have to hire a pyromancer to burn the inside to ashes."
"Those people, those dead, are all called the price. It is the price that Big Brother paid for his power..."
"I don't want this to continue... But if my eldest brother takes over, then this kind of thing... will only happen more and more."
"I don't want to, I really don't want to, see so many dead people again."
As she spoke, the princess clutched her sleeves with both hands, tears falling drop by drop.
So that's how it was. It was through this scene that Blood Rose allowed Yufei to sneak out of the imperial capital and join the expedition team.
As a result, she got the opportunity to take over her body.
Taking advantage of the princess's mercy is a good plan.
However, this reason for wanting to be emperor really surprised Li Cheng.
It turns out that in this ridiculous game, there are actually good people in the royal court...
Li Cheng reached out his hand, rubbed Yu Fei's head, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work."
"I..." Yuffie pursed her lips, trying hard not to let tears fall.
Although her actual age is in her fifties, almost 60.
But apart from the time she spent sleeping, she was just a fourteen-year-old girl.
For a moment, grievance, pain, regret, fear, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, mixed feelings.
Tears poured down like heavy rain.
And Li Cheng's face also slightly raised.
The little girl, feeling empty inside, was recognized…
So many buffs are maxed out.
If Li Cheng doesn't do something,
How can he be considered a gentleman then?
