Chapter 5

"Ling Gu, I want to cultivate."

As soon as she said this, Sang Yuanyuan's heart started thumping.

She had played too many roles as a seductress that brought disaster to countries, so she was not interested in seducing the king.

But cultivating was different!

In this world, it was indeed possible to cultivate immortality!

Cultivate!

She had never cultivated before!

She wanted to cultivate to death!

But her identity …

From a mortal to an immortal, one had to first enter the Hidden Spirit Realm, which was a total of nine levels.

Once a woman entered the Hidden Spirit Realm, she would kill the red dragon, and it was basically impossible for her to get pregnant and have children.

After giving birth, a woman's bones and constitution would change, and her foundation would be half destroyed. If she wanted to cultivate again, it would be harder than ascending to heaven.

Because of this, there were very few female cultivators in the world.

Sang Yuanyuan naturally knew that as a daughter of the royal family, wanting to cultivate was a very rebellious thing. Moreover, she was married to the King of the State of Korea, and was now his legal wife in name.

She pretended to be calm as she looked at Ling Gu, but she did not have much hope.

Being rejected was normal.

No matter, she would think of another way.

As expected, Ling Gu was stunned.

After a long while, a pair of eyes that were clearly very young but full of vicissitudes of life suddenly gushed out in large streams of tears.

Sang Yuanyuan's scalp went numb.

These … were the tears of a war goddess, what were they?

Were they tears of a fierce tiger?

"Don't, Ling Gu, don't cry."

"Your Highness, you've finally thought it through!" Ling Gu howled even louder.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…"

"Ever since you were young," Ling Gu said, sobbing, "His Majesty and His Highness often said, 'What's so good about marrying? Who in this world is worthy of our Little Sang Guo!

It's better to cultivate early, and you won't be bullied anywhere!

If you really meet someone you like, you can take him in as a son-in-law, and drink with His Majesty and His Highness every day … "

Sang Yuanyuan: "… So Mother didn't agree?"

Ling Gu said, "Madame has you and Shizi, so naturally she feels that it's better to have a child.

However, Madam is not completely against cultivation. You were the one who said it yourself, Your Highness. As a daughter of the royal family, you were born in Sang Province and will die in Sang Province. Marriage and children are the best way to form an alliance. How can you follow the emperor and the crown prince's nonsense? "

Sang Yuanyuan: "…"

Ling Gu sighed. "Back then, when the King of the State of Korea came to propose marriage, His Majesty, Madam, and the Crown Prince were actually not satisfied. This was because he had someone in the palace who was a very troublesome person from Youzhou.

However, the Princess fell in love with the State of Korea at first sight and was determined to marry him. No one could stop her.

In the end, he didn't even try to protect the Princess!

Needless to say, the assassination must have something to do with You Yingyue, right? "

"Yes." Sang Yuanyuan had no intention of hiding it.

The assassination was not a big deal. Han Shaoling was indeed caught off guard. However, when Sang Yuanyuan was unconscious and dying, he actually thought that she was dead. He didn't even send a single bodyguard to protect her. This was also a common trait of all two-faced male protagonists. They would never waste time and energy on meaningless things.

Ling Gu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "His Majesty and Shizi have already guessed that Sang Province is now preparing for war. They are just waiting … cough, if something really happens to you, His Majesty will send troops!

As long as You Wuming is killed, You Yingyue, this stray dog, can be dealt with however he wants. "

Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly jumped.

This matter was the cause of Sang Province's destruction.

Sang Province's King chose a very good, but also very bad, time to act against You Wuming. You Wuming was ordered by Tiandu to help the State of Korea pacify the Western Region's Demon Calamity.

Sang Province's King and Shizi led troops across the border and ambushed You Wuming. He was attacked from both sides and almost died.

Han Shaoling, who was traveling with You Wuming, was also seriously injured.

This was a good time because You Wuming's cultivation was too high. This was probably the only chance to kill him.

This was a bad time because this way, Sang Province would be considered a traitor.

If the conflict between the two provinces led to war, Tiandu would usually punish each side fifty times and let it go.

However, You Wuming and Han Shaoling were ambushed when they were ordered to eliminate demons. Sang Province's actions were tantamount to pulling out Tiandu's reverse scale and becoming enemies with all of Cloud Realm.

A year later, Sang Province completely disappeared from Cloud Realm's territory.

This matter was only a brief interlude in the book. Its main purpose was to let Han Shaoling be injured and need someone to take care of him.

None of the servants around him could satisfy him. Only the lively and straightforward Meng Wuyou, who chattered by his bed from morning to night, made Han Shaoling feel that his illness was full of vitality (?).

Sang Yuanyuan's scalp went numb. "Father and Brother are too impulsive!

I'll send a message right now and tell them not to do anything stupid! "

Ling Gu covered his mouth and smiled. "Your Highness, don't be impatient. If you wake up safely, His Majesty and Shizi will probably be drunk for several days. How can they start a war?"

Sang Yuanyuan gently sighed. "Yes.

Thank goodness. "

Ling Gu seemed to be afraid that she would go back on her word. He helped her up from the cloud bed and said, "Then, this subordinate will help Your Highness cleanse your body now!"

Sang Yuanyuan: "?"

This was such a big matter. Didn't he need to ask Sang Province to confirm it first?

Didn't he need to consider Han Shaoling's opinion?

Ling Gu strode to the outer hall and gave a series of orders.

After a while, he helped Sang Yuanyuan to the side hall. He quickly took off Sang Yuanyuan's clothes and placed her in a huge wooden bucket.

"Your Highness, you can't go back on your word now."

Ling Gu said with a sly smile. "Shizi has given a death order. Even if we have to trick you, we have to trick Your Highness into using this Marrow Cleansing Liquid!"

"…" Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. Then, should I play along and act half-heartedly?

Immersing herself in the pale white Marrow Cleansing Liquid did not feel very good.

There were five elements in the human body. Marrow Cleansing was to get rid of four of the five elements in one's foundation, leaving only one element.

Only by washing away the other elements could one sense the spiritual essence of the heavens and earth and absorb it into one's body to refine one's body.

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan's entire body was numb and painful, as if countless steel needles were rampaging through her body.

Seeing Sang Yuanyuan's little face turn pale, Ling Gu's heart ached.

"Your Highness, please bear with it. After washing away the elements, you'll make do. We don't need Your Highness to conquer the world, right?"

Sang Yuanyuan shook her head.

Actually, it was still okay.

She was far from reaching her limit.

This feeling was actually similar to when she was struck by lightning and lay on the ground in a daze, waiting for death.

After experiencing such a great horror, the torture before her seemed like child's play.

Her pale face was just an instinctive reaction of her body. Her heart was actually very calm.

Ling Gu waved his palm in front of her eyes again and again.

Sang Yuanyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Ling Gu!

I didn't faint. "

Ling Gu stared at her for a long time, then suddenly realized something. He used his ring finger to scoop up a small drop of Marrow Cleansing Liquid and put it in his mouth to taste.

"… It's not bad?"

Sang Yuanyuan: "…"

Impurities began to seep out of the surface of her skin.

Humans ate grains, and the things they came into contact with on a daily basis were more or less moist and poisonous. When they breathed, they would also inhale dust.

Therefore, the older they were, the more impure their bodies were.

After the first layer of impurities was washed out by the Marrow Cleansing Liquid, Sang Yuanyuan immediately felt her mind clear and her eyes were bright. She was full of energy, as if she had returned to her childhood.

As for her, she had also vaguely sensed a deep-seated change.

As she breathed, the fragrance of the plants became stronger and stronger. Hallucinations appeared in front of her eyes, as if there were green dots of light floating around like fireflies.

"Your Highness?" Ling Gu worriedly called out to her from time to time.

He had never seen someone who could endure so much.

Even the strong men outside who were as tall as black towers would cry like ghosts and howl like wolves during the Marrow Cleansing Liquid. Who knew that the delicate and weak princess would not make a single sound. Ling Gu would occasionally call out to her, afraid that she had already died in the Marrow Cleansing Liquid.

"Ling Gu, I'm fine. Don't worry." Sang Yuanyuan could easily sense the emotions of others, especially when they were directed at her.

She knew that this seemingly young elder in front of her truly treated her like a treasure. She did not feel annoyed at all.

The Marrow Cleansing Liquid turned from thick to clear. Sang Yuanyuan's body was once again cleansed of impurities.

This time, it was no longer gray impurities, but a strange mixture of red, yellow, white, and black.

"Red fire, yellow earth, white gold, and black water are all out." Ling Gu clapped his hands. "Congratulations, Your Highness. Your element is wood."

Sang Yuanyuan lightly nodded her head.

She could already feel that there was an abundant green life force slowly spreading through her body.

She did not leave the Marrow Cleansing Liquid. Instead, she continued to soak in it until it completely turned into a bucket of clear water.

Ling Gu carefully used a thin silver needle to extract a drop of blood from Sang Yuanyuan's fingertip. He placed it on a small black stone and tested it. Then, he let out a long sigh of relief. His face was filled with joy. He said with gratification, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for successfully entering the first layer of the Spirit Hidden Realm!

From now on, Your Highness only needs to meditate and close your eyes. You will be able to sense the wood element between heaven and earth. "

Ling Gu knew that more haste, less speed. It was already not easy for Sang Yuanyuan to successfully cleanse her Marrow Cleansing Liquid. He was not in a hurry to guide her cultivation. Instead, he helped her back to the cloud bed and spoke in detail about the small matters of Sang Province.

Although Sang Yuanyuan did not have any feelings for Sang Province, she could not help but yearn for it as she listened.

It was a lush and leisurely place.

The people there were tough and simple. They were not like the people of Korea, who were extremely shrewd.

After dinner, the low sound of drums could be heard from afar. Sang Yuanyuan knew that it was You Wuming King of Youzhou who had entered the capital of Korea.

She looked at the window lattice that was gradually dyed in gold. After a while, she said softly, "Ling Gu, help me do something."

"Yes!" Ling Gu's face was filled with a motherly smile a second ago. In the next second, he cupped his hands with a serious expression.

"Knock Jiang Jinyuan unconscious and throw him into You Yingyue's bedroom.

Then, knock You Yingyue unconscious as well. "

"Yes!

… Huh? "The corner of Ling Gu's eyes twitched. However, he did not ask any more questions. He accepted the order and left.

At this moment, Han Shaoling had already gone to the city gate to welcome the fiend Demon King.

Although You Wuming had come with Tiandu's decree, saying that he was here to help the State King quell the demonic onslaught, You Wuming was a madman. Han Shaoling didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't directly lead an army to slaughter the entire State of Handou if he lost his mind. Therefore, Han Shaoling had to be prepared for battle and brought all his experts with him.

Ling Gu could do whatever he wanted in the harem.

Sang Yuanyuan felt that she was already very worthy of Han Shaoling's hospitality by doing such a small thing.

Moreover, she was saving Jiang Jinyuan's life.

You Wuming entered the Han Palace and immediately stabbed the female lead Meng Wuyou in the heart with incomparable precision. She did not care that the other party was a Spiritual Brilliance Realm expert with many experts by his side. She also did not care that she was just a piece of trash who had not even washed her marrow. She found a dagger from who knows where and ran to the palace banquet to assassinate You Wuming.

She said that she wanted to avenge her parents who had died because of the You Zhou incident.

Only the female lead, Mary Sue, who had a lot of gold fingers, could do such a thing.

You Wuming originally wanted to kill this ignorant woman, but in the end, Jiang Jinyuan jumped out to protect her and let her escape to Han Shaoling's side.

You Wuming was a madman. Why would you care about some imperial nephew?

Therefore, You Wuming very casually cut Jiang Jinyuan into several pieces.

Han Shaoling almost died on the spot.

And You Wuming, who had casually done such a big thing, did not care at all. He continued to sit behind that blood-soaked table, eating and drinking as he should.

If not for the fact that he could not beat him, Han Shaoling would definitely cut this madman into several pieces as well.

In the end, he suppressed this matter for You Wuming and lied to Tiandu. He said that Jiang Jinyuan was eager to get rid of the demon and followed the army to battle, dying heroically in the western underworld.

Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself.

After dealing with Tiandu, Han Shaoling still had to persuade You Wuming to consider the big picture and not reveal the truth himself.

Han Shaoling, the male lead, could be said to be very sullen in front of the great demon king in the early stages.

You Wuming …

Sang Yuanyuan inwardly muttered: Without Jiang Jinyuan opening the way, would Meng Wuyou still have the ability to break into the palace banquet at night?

If she really has the ability to rush in front of You Wuming, then, without Jiang Jinyuan as a scapegoat, would she just die in the hands of the great demon king?

Sang Yuanyuan really wanted to see with his own eyes how the heavens would give Meng Wuyou a golden finger after he changed the plot.

If Meng Wuyou really died, Sang Yuanyuan would not have any psychological burden — everyone was an adult, and he should be responsible for his own foolish actions.
