Yaohua asked again, "What do you store demonic qi for?"
The system stammered, "I surely have my own uses. Don't ask too many questions."
Yaohua was even more certain that the system had other motives for collecting demonic qi. Moreover, it seemed that the more demonic qi there was, the more energetic the system became.
The system urged, "Host, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and get closer to Chongming so that I can help him absorb the demonic qi."
Just as Yaohua was hesitating, Chongming had already suppressed the demonic qi within his body and slowly got up.
At this moment, a streak of flowing light came from the horizon. It was Hu Meier, the princess of the Fox Clan.
She had a pair of charming eyes with long fluttering eyelashes. Her fox eyes seemed to be filled with silent affection.
She stepped forward coquettishly and said, "Greetings to God Chongming and Princess Yaohua."
"What are you doing here?" Yaohua asked doubtfully.
Hu Meier didn't answer but just silently looked at Chongming and said, "Your Highness is so wise. You should be able to guess what I'm here for, right?"
Chongming shook his head. "I don't know."
Hu Meier covered her mouth and laughed softly. "People all say that God Chongming is wise and valiant. I didn't expect that I, a mere woman, could stump you today. This is truly my fortune."
Seeing her affected manner, Yaohua felt angry. "What on earth do you want?"
"Sister, why are you so angry? I just wanted to have a little fun with you. If I've offended you in any way, it's all my fault as the younger sister. I apologize to you here."
Hu Meier bowed gracefully.
Yaohua dodged her bow. "Who's your sister? Explain it clearly to me! I'm a phoenix. I don't have a sister of unknown origin."
"Don't you know yet, sister?" Hu Meier pretended to be surprised. "When you were missing, His Highness was very worried. He held a ceremony to accept disciples. All the clans sent their princesses. If I'm lucky enough to become His Highness's disciple, I should naturally call you sister."
"Really? There's such a thing?" Yaohua looked at Chongming.
Chongming was also confused. "I've never held any ceremony to accept disciples."
He was naturally aware that many fairies had appeared in the Cangling Hall, and he knew that they had come by the order of the God - Lord. But he didn't expect that their purpose was to become his disciples.
Hu Meier asked in surprise, "So Your Highness doesn't know about this? That's bad. Now the princesses of all the clans have come. If Your Highness suddenly decides not to accept disciples, it will surely hurt the faces of the clans. They may even think that the Celestial Realm is deliberately making fun of them and thus start a war."
Chongming's expression was unreadable. He just stood there quietly. Although he still had a mortal body, there was an intimidating aura around him.
Yaohua was indignant. "The God - Lord is too much. He held a ceremony to accept disciples in your name without permission. If the ceremony is cancelled in the end, all the blame will fall on you."
Hu Meier also frowned slightly, showing a worried look. "What should we do then?"
Chongming closed his eyes, put away the terrifying aura, and nodded slightly at her. "Thank you for coming to tell me."
He took out a magical weapon from his space and offered it to her.
But she didn't take it. Instead, after thinking for a while, she said, "I have a humble idea that can solve everyone's urgent problem. I wonder if Your Highness will allow it?"
"What's the method?" Yaohua asked.
Hu Meier said somewhat shyly, "If Your Highness is worried about trouble, you can accept me as your disciple. I guarantee that I won't cause any trouble to you or your other disciples."
Yaohua stepped in front of Chongming warily. "So that's your real purpose!"
The Fox Clan was best at bewitching people. She didn't want her master to accept such a disciple.
But Hu Meier straightened her back and said uprightly, "My father is promiscuous. He has more than ninety children. I'm the twenty - seventh one. This chance to worship a master was hard - won for me. What I want is not to marry His Highness but to obtain resources!"
"Resources?" Yaohua couldn't help asking in confusion.
"That's right!" Hu Meier said seriously. "You two have had smooth sailing since childhood, but I even have to fight for a single spirit stone by myself. If I can be accepted as a disciple by God Chongming, I can enjoy the treatment of a disciple and get a lot of cultivation resources every month."
Yaohua couldn't help turning to look at Chongming.
Suddenly, Hu Meier folded her hands in the way of the Fox Clan's salute and bowed deeply. "Please, Your Highness, take me as your disciple for the sake of my pious heart of cultivation. Although I'm a fox, I don't want to get involved in love affairs. I just want power!"
No one had expected that a little fox would have such a firm heart on the path of cultivation.
Although Yaohua still suspected her motives, her attitude softened a little.
Chongming pondered and said, "Go back first. I'll consider this matter."
Hu Meier was invigorated. "Okay! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Not far away, a pair of eyes were staring directly at this side. It was Xun Huan, the princess of the Wolf Clan.
She saw Hu Meier leave with the God - Lord's instruction and quietly followed her. Who would have thought that she would see such a scene.
When Hu Meier was halfway there, Xun Huan suddenly appeared.
"Xun Huan, why are you here?" Hu Meier was very surprised.
Xun Huan said with a straight face, "Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me, what did you just say to His Highness?"
"Nothing." A look of guilt flashed across Hu Meier's eyes.
Xun Huan said hatefully, "I know everything about you! The God - Lord originally wanted me to deliver the order, but you drugged my tea, which made my spiritual power chaotic. I had to rest temporarily."
Hu Meier smoothed her hair and simply admitted it boldly. "So what if it was me? It's a matter of winner takes all. You can find a chance to get revenge next time. Moreover..."
She sized up Xun Huan's angry and jealous look and shook her head. "People like you with impure motives and full of love affairs can't move His Highness. I advise you to go back as soon as possible."
Xun Huan was furious. "How dare you mock me?!"
She took out her weapon and struck Hu Meier hard.
Hu Meier didn't expect her to be so powerful. Caught off guard, she was directly hit and immediately began to bleed.
Hu Meier scolded angrily, "Xun Huan, you're crazy. You're trying to kill me."
Xun Huan sneered. "Our Wolf Clan always pays back every grudge. You dared to provoke me. You deserve to die."
"The God - Lord won't let you go!" Seeing her almost crazy look, Hu Meier felt a sudden fear.
Xun Huan continued to attack her indifferently. "The God - Lord? Hehe. This is a desolate place. After I kill you, I'll use the corpse - dissolving water to completely dissolve your body. Who can find out the clue?"
Hu Meier was really scared this time. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'll never dare to provoke you again, Xun Huan. Please spare me, spare me! I don't have any romantic feelings for God Chongming at all."
"It's too late!" Xun Huan's beautiful face was full of distorted hatred. With screams, Hu Meier finally died.
