Chapter 416: Longing for Xiang Liu
"Who is your Excellency?"
The magpie clasped his fists and saluted the three people.
"I am Xi Que, and my master has something for Miss Xi Ling."
Xiao Yao looked at the heroic and sassy woman in front of him, and looked at Xi Que curiously.
This person's appearance was too coincidental, and King Haoling's previously calm expression became a little sharper.
"Magpie girl, who is your master?"
King Haoling had already let go of Xiaoyao's wrist, and powerful spiritual energy was surging in his body.
Xiaoyao was even more curious.
"Meet Miss Xiling. My master said she has something important to discuss with you. She is waiting for you in Qingshui Town."
Xiaoyao immediately knew who her master was, and nodded while asking
"How is Xiao Liu'er doing lately?"
"Master, everything is fine. Thank you Miss Xiling for your concern."
After saying that, Xi Que took out an emerald jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yao.
"That's good. What is this jade pendant?"
The magpie laughed and said
"It is a new spiritual weapon made by the master based on his previous experience, and was specially sent to Miss Xiling for self-defense. It can be driven by inputting spiritual power. The master said that although it will not automatically protect the master with a slight scratch like before, the formation on it is unstable and may become ineffective after a few times. Miss Xiling should keep it in mind and I will give her advice when the time comes."
Xiaoyao played with the jade pendant with great pleasure and said with a smile
"I won't say thank you. Please tell Xiao Liu'er that I will leave for Qingshui Town in a few days. Please ask her to prepare wine and food for me."
"Yes"
After the magpie left, the three of them walked into the desert again.
No matter how Xiao Yao pressed the issue, Hao Ling said nothing and just led her deeper and deeper.
At first, there were some plants such as camel thorn that grew in the desert on the ground, but as they walked, gradually nothing could be seen.
The silk handkerchief thrown by Xiao Yao ignited without fire before it even hit the ground, and burned to ashes in an instant.
Only then did Xiao Yao understand the love and care of King Hao Ling.
She turned to look at Jing, her cheeks flushed and her steps unsteady. Every step she took was like walking on a hot iron, with green smoke coming out.
Xiao Yao could no longer care about anything else and shouted, "Father, stop now! If we go on, we will all die!"
King Haoling asked Jing if he could still hold on. Jing forced a smile, unable to speak, and just nodded.
The nine-tailed white fox ran out and lay on Jing's shoulder, resisting the heat together.
King Haoling then went on to recount his past with Xiling Heng, and Xiaoyao suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Xi Que had just given her.
In the past, the spiritual weapons Yingliu sent her were all for self-defense, and were either given in person or sent by a caravan. But this is a scorching desert, so how could it be such a coincidence?
Xiaoyao couldn't help but think of the strange look that Yingliu occasionally revealed, which seemed to mean "as expected". As she thought about it, she took the jade pendant from her waist, injected a little spiritual power into it, and a faint emerald smoke floated out of the jade pendant, condensing into silk threads that wrapped around Xiaoyao.
In a moment, Xiao Yao was protected by countless smoke threads, and slowly she felt a little cool.
Xiaoyao was overjoyed and threw the jade pendant to Jing without hesitation.
"Jing, go on."
As the jade pendant left, the mist that was wrapped around Xiaoyao followed the traction and climbed onto Tu Shanjing.
"This... I can do it alone, Your Majesty, and you too."
Jing bent down with all his strength, picked up the jade pendant from the back of his foot, and handed it to Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao refused to take it, and Jing followed her example and threw it at his feet.
Although King Hao Ling looked in a sorry state and his outer robe was scorched yellow at this moment, his complexion was still okay. However, Jing was about to fall down.
Jing was still trying to persuade him, but the consciousness on his shoulder slowly shrank and finally disappeared. Jing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Flames rose from his feet, and King Haoling grabbed Jing's wrist, and the flames went out.
Xiaoyao quickly picked up the jade pendant and studied it intently.
"I see!"
