The deepest affection in Gu Long's world

Chapter 111 Pressure (34 words per day)

That's a really fast change of clothes.

The King of Kucha and Princess Pipa both muttered to themselves.

Next, Chu Xiangshuai, the primary character, recounted the entire incident.

Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun also delivered excellent performances.

From surprise to confusion, then to trepidation and hesitation, followed by a series of unspoken words, she ultimately chose silence.

From an outsider's perspective, it's clear that these two are unwilling to get involved in the current mess and are preparing to leave as soon as possible, which aligns with everyone's original perception of them.

After confirming once again that the two had been putting out the fire the whole time, Chu Liuxiang prepared to go back and sort out his thoughts.

Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan were also preoccupied with their own thoughts, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

But just before the three were about to leave the tent, the King of Kucha suddenly called them back.

"When would you like to set the date for my daughter's wedding with Your Excellency?"

He was clearly still unwilling to give up on these three suckers. This time, the frightening array set up by Shi Guanyin, after being enhanced by Fang Yunhua, did indeed shock the timid King of Kucha.

From any perspective, having more strong support around you is always a good thing.

Hu Tiehua did not give a direct answer regarding a time, but simply said that they would talk again tomorrow.

After the three left, there was no need to schedule another meeting given the situation.

Even Chu Liuxiang felt that Fang Yunhua and his companion would definitely have a talk with the King of Kucha at this time, and whether they stayed or left, this was the most appropriate opportunity.

He obviously couldn't have guessed that what Fang Yunhua wanted to talk about was not this at all.

"Actually, even if I hadn't intervened, Your Majesty would have been safe and sound."

Fang Yunhua's first words completely baffled the King of Kucha. He hadn't quite processed what was happening yet and could only stare blankly at the other man.

"Because killing you is not the goal, but to uncover the secret of the Elysium Star. Only by putting you under enough pressure can we ensure that you will reveal this secret that only you know when you are mentally unbalanced."

The King of Kucha thought it made sense, but just as he was about to speak, Fang Yunhua changed the subject again.

"But your safety does not mean that those around you are safe. Watching your loved ones die one by one is more likely to push you to the brink of collapse."

"So you mean, my daughter is very likely tonight..."

Fang Yunhua did not give a definite answer, nor did he need to confirm it with another "hmm" now. It was enough to make the other party remember his advice.

There is still a clear gap between the two sides.

Fang Yunhua didn't mind waiting a little longer.

He then actually turned to leave, but the King of Kucha called him back.

"May I ask which side you belong to? Are you an enemy or a friend?"

Fang Yunhua pointed eastward.

"Of course I hope we can be friends, or even business partners, but I think Your Majesty may really have to go through a few moments of despair before you can truly appreciate how hard-won this cooperation is. You can't teach someone how to do something, but you can learn it in no time. What do you think?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"If I told you now that there's a problem with someone close to you, you definitely wouldn't believe me, so let's wait and see."

Fang Yunhua was not worried at all about the other party revealing a flaw. This King of Kucha was timid and good at hiding his true intentions, which made him a master of disguise. He was certain that the two sides were not hostile to each other and were even potential allies.

Then he won't ruin this supportive relationship.

However, the other party also possesses a suspicious nature and distrusts everyone, so now is not the most appropriate time to truthfully reveal their purpose. As the saying goes, one can learn anything by being taught, even though it might mean sacrificing an innocent person. But after truly understanding the situation, Fang Yunhua realized that the eldest princess was doomed.

The other party had already been added to Shi Guanyin's death list.

In the original storyline, she was killed by Shi Guanyin, then took her identity and had a one-night stand with Hu Tiehua, before revealing her body. This allowed Hu Tiehua to be suspected of murdering the eldest princess, thus sowing discord between Chu Liuxiang's side and the King of Kucha.

Even if Hu Tiehua doesn't marry this eldest princess, as the closest person to Shi Guanyin who has already played the role of a princess, her presence will make Shi Guanyin feel uncomfortable, and she is an uncontrollable time bomb.

So this eldest princess was destined to die no matter what.

Fang Yunhua's preparations are not yet sufficient. He needs to ensure that the King of Kucha has a firm enough belief and stands on the same side as him, which requires him to disregard this death.

"and many more!"

Just as Fang Yunhua was about to turn and leave again, Princess Pipa stepped forward and stopped him.

Her eyes, filled with a variety of complex emotions, make every man feel reluctant and heartbroken when he looks into them.

"You mean there's a traitor among Father's men, and that this traitor might cause the death of our loved ones?"

"This is just a reasonable speculation. Simply scaring him won't work. Only by truly witnessing death can the king feel fear and dread."

Fang Yunhua avoided the Pipa Princess's gaze and fixed her eyes on the King of Kucha once again.

It's reasonable that there was still some hesitation and doubt on the other person's face.

After Fang Yunhua pointed eastward, he had already begun to guess his identity, which was why he wouldn't easily make any promises, even if they were just empty words.

"Your Majesty, I hope you can quickly strengthen your resolve and give me a satisfactory answer, because you are not our only option."

"You mean that rebel?"

"No, that doesn't really count. Actually, after arriving in this vast desert and seeing the harsh environment here, I've found another promising target. He might become your ally, provided that you can also truly become my partner."

My companion and I will stay here for a few more days, which will give you time to think.

As for what you want to do, don't worry that I'll reveal it, because you should understand that even if you succeed, a lot of trouble will follow, and I have no intention of making things difficult for you in this regard.

So please remember my final piece of advice: when you need my help, it means you've truly made a decision.

This time, no one stopped the two of them.

Fang Yunhua and Yuan Suiyun walked out of the tent one after the other.

The King of Kucha was left deep in thought, while Princess Pipa's gaze remained fixed on Fang Yunhua's departing figure.

When the two figures had completely disappeared from Princess Pipa's sight, the King of Kucha made another decision.

"We need to finalize the engagement as soon as possible; the wedding must take place tomorrow!"

Princess Pipa hesitated for a moment before nodding. After summoning the golden-armored guards patrolling outside and instructing them to relay a message to Chu Liuxiang and his companions, she also looked at her father, a man both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Why don't you agree to his offer? You should be able to tell that he wants you to make the first promise."

"This violates the agreement among the Western Regions kingdoms! Let's wait... we still need to wait, it's not time yet."

The King of Kucha suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and his facial features contorted in a terrifying grimace. He was feeling an overwhelming amount of pressure, which made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

It wasn't just the pressure from Shi Guanyin, the pressure from betraying the party, the pressure from the Western demonic sect, but also the pressure from Fang Yunhua, and the invisible pressure from that enormous figure in the east.

At this moment, he realized that the scheme he had so proudly devised seemed to be nothing special.

　The later version was changed to 4,000 or 6,000 words per chapter. The time remained the same as before it was officially released: one chapter at 9:10 AM and one chapter at 5:10 PM.
