Learn one small skill every day

Ji Shaoqing's indifferent tone and innate sense of superiority finally made Bai Miao abandon his last bit of reserve.

"parking."

Bai Miao said to Chen Dalong.

"what?"

"I told you to stop the car!"

Chen Dalong was startled and quickly stopped the carriage.

"Get out of here!"

Bai Miao jumped off the carriage and called out to the sedan chair.

"You...you have some nerve! How dare you offend me like this!"

Ji Shaoqing was also stunned, not expecting that this commander would have such audacity.

"Damn it, you're asking for it! Then let's not play this game anymore! I just wanted to get you to Da Shang safely, and I was worried sick the whole way, afraid that you'd be eaten by some wandering ghost. And what did you do?! You treated this like a picnic?!"

"I'm really giving you a damn good time!"

"What utter rubbish! She dares to be a princess?!"

"I'm telling you right now, Lin Yu, you have to get out of here. This is my last act of mercy! And from now on, you have to listen to me! If I tell you to run, you run; if I tell you to lie down, you lie down! Otherwise, I'll make sure you pass out the whole way, so I don't have to worry about anything!"

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Princess's Secret

Bai Miao stepped forward and pulled Lin Yu off the carriage.

Ji Shaoqing also poked his head out of the sedan chair: "I am surrounded by dragon energy. As a citizen of Qingqiu Kingdom, aren't you afraid of being devoured by it?"

Her eyes were filled with shock and anger. In the more than 100 years since the founding of Qingqiu, she had never seen anyone dare to offend the royal family like this.

As long as the dragon's aura remains, the royal family holds absolute power.

"What are you afraid of! You think I don't know that the Qingqiu Dragon Vein has been severed?!"

Upon hearing Bai Miao's words, not only Ji Shaoqing but everyone else showed expressions of horror, while Wang Tan and the others cast questioning glances at them.

Bai Miao then recounted everything he had heard from the monk Beifeng the previous night.

"No... what that monk said isn't true! That monk is clearly a monster!"

Just as Ji Shaoqing was about to explain, Bai Miao's words once again struck at her defenses: "Then tell me why you don't have any purple aura on you? Do you want me to tell you that I actually know the art of aura observation?"

Ji Shaoqing was struck dumb and fell off the car. Ding Gonggong, who was behind her, quickly got out of the car and helped her up.

"You...you know the art of observing qi? Then why don't you go to the Heavenly Suppression Bureau? Why come to the insignificant Demon Suppression Bureau as a commander?!"

Ji Shaoqing was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lin Yu stood there speechless. When she saw Ji Shaoqing's reaction, she knew that even the princess couldn't control Commander Bai!

"What business is it of yours where I go? And what's your response now?"

"me……"

Ji Shaoqing knew that Bai Qianhu had seen through his trump cards, as if he had been completely exposed, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"I...I'll do as you say...but you have to get me safely to Da Shang..."

"Why didn't you just say this earlier?"

Bai Miao then looked at Lin Yu: "What about you? Are you going to leave on your own, or should I take you?"

"You, you can't do this! I only said a few words to you! Are you going to kill me?!"

Having lost Ji Shaoqing as his backer, Lin Yu was truly afraid.

"I didn't kill you. It's your own skill that you survived. I just didn't want you to come with us."

Bai Miao got angry just looking at Lin Yu. Without saying another word, he raised his hand and struck her on the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Perhaps feeling that it was undignified for Lin Yu to lie in the middle of the road, Bai Miao picked her up again and walked to a big tree by the roadside, where he threw Lin Yu onto a branch.

Bai Miao felt the world suddenly become quiet.

Just as Zhang Peng was about to speak, Wang Tan raised his hand: "Don't ask me what my attitude is, judge for yourself. By the way, you seem to be able to protect yourself. Zhao Baihu's side is short of someone, and she's a female student. I'll go to that car and keep an eye on her."

"Oh...Teacher Wang, Teacher Wang!"

Zhang Peng didn't stop Wang Tan. After Wang Tan explained his intentions to Bai Miao, Bai Miao agreed to let Wang Tan change cars.

Zhao Mengsheng's feelings were extremely complicated at this moment, as she had just witnessed the cruel side of the dungeon.

Although I know Lin Yu brought this upon himself, is it really okay to just abandon someone like this...?

"Commander Zhao, is it convenient for us to have a chat?"

Wang Tan sat down next to him.

"Okay...I'm fine..."

While Wang Tan was discussing life with Zhao Mengsheng, Bai Miao was entangled with Ji Shaoqing.

"You...you really didn't see the dragon aura on my body?"

"You still don't believe me? Do you think I'm bluffing you? Or do you think you can pretend you have dragon energy to continue being powerful? Once the dragon vein is severed, the Qingqiu Kingdom is already dead in name only!"

Ji Shaoqing asked again, "Then... will you still escort me all the way to the Great Shang? I mean, will you just abandon me because I've lost my dragon energy?"

Bai Miao thought Ji Shaoqing was really annoying. Hadn't he made himself perfectly clear?

"If you don't cause any trouble, I'll send you to Da Shang."

"I will be good, please don't send me away."

The tactic of making an example of someone to deter others seems to have had a good effect.

"Let me ask you, do you know that the Qingqiu Dragon Vein has been severed?"

"Yes... I knew all along that my father also planned for me to leave Qingqiu when the dragon vein broke..."

"There are three convoys departing today, not just ours. In fact, for the past two days and the next two days, three convoys have been departing from the palace at the same time every day... This is to prevent anyone from knowing which convoy is mine..."

"I admit I spoke a little louder the other day... but it was all to pretend that the dragon vein was still there and that everything was normal in Qingqiu..."

As Ji Shaoqing spoke, Eunuch Ding inside the sedan chair wept as if he had lost his parents.

"Heaven has forsaken Qingqiu! Your Majesty! It is this servant's incompetence that has led to this!"

"You damned eunuch, shut your mouth!"

Ding Gonggong's wailing stopped abruptly.

"You, continue. What else do you know? Why should I believe you are a real princess, and not just bait to lure others?"

Although Bai Miao asked this question, according to the system's prompts, the person Bai Miao and his group were escorting must be the real princess.

“This… Xiao Dingzi, you go out first. Commander Bai, come in…”

Bai Miao reluctantly entered the sedan chair.

As soon as Bai Miao entered the sedan chair, he felt a chill run through his body.

The temperature inside the sedan chair was actually much lower than outside!

[Temperature Sensing LV1: You can judge the approximate temperature by looking at your skin]

The outside temperature was around 27°C, but the temperature inside the car was less than 10°C!

"You really want to send me to the Great Shang? This is the key to whether Qingqiu can be restored. After Qingqiu is restored, I will appoint you as the Protector General of the Nation, a first-rank official, and you will enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life."

Bai Miao listened speechlessly to Ji Shaoqing's empty promises: "Don't you believe I'll send you to the Great Shang?"

“I’m worried that once you know I don’t have dragon energy, you’ll abandon me when we’re in a dangerous situation… But you really can’t do that. The dragon energy hasn’t disappeared, and Qingqiu can still start over!”

"I'm only showing this to you..."

As she spoke, Ji Shaoqing slowly took off her long dress.

"You're trying to seduce me?"

Bai Miao found it utterly incomprehensible.

"Do not……"

Ji Shaoqing's face showed a pained expression, and Bai Miao saw something wriggling in her lower abdomen.

"This is……?"

Bai Miao's mind went blank for a moment.

The flesh and blood and the bizarre monsters in Abyss Street did not make Bai Miao feel uncomfortable.

But the Ji Shaoqing in front of him caused Bai Miao to experience severe confusion, both physically and mentally!

My mental strength has been reduced by 3 points!

A pale, withered hand emerged from beneath Ji Shaoqing. The Qi Observation Technique revealed that this hand was wreathed in golden light and surrounded by purple aura!

Then, the hand withdrew again.

Ji Shaoqing calmly put on his clothes: "You have the ability to see qi, so you should have seen it..."

"The real princess isn't me... she's inside my belly..."

Bai Miao's head was buzzing; he clearly hadn't expected this instance to be so gloomy.

Ji Shaoqing continued, "So... as long as we can send the princess to the Shang Dynasty, Qingqiu will have hope of restoring its kingdom... You really can't give up on me."

After saying and doing so much, Ji Shaoqing was trying to prove to Bai Miao that she was the real princess, or rather, the vessel of a princess.

It took Bai Miao a long time to recover.

"Tell me honestly... are you doing this to disgust me too?"

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Death of Lin Yu

"I just want to prove my necessity..."

Ji Shaoqing firmly denied having any intention of disgusting Bai Miao.
