I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 175 The Correct Use of Tianjiao

Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang cried loudly like a wounded child.

Zhang Chen was confused, and Chen Xu beside him was also confused.

The two looked at each other. Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen and said after a little hesitation: "Your Majesty, are you..."

He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Nan Qilin cannot be offended, but can I offend Zhang Chen in front of me?

Looking at the crying Nan Qilin, Zhang Chen began to doubt himself: "Did I go too far?"

But soon Zhang Chen came to his senses: "When this guy saw me, his guards wanted to bury me alive. I just used him as a stool to sit on. Why did I go too far?"

"Let's prepare to eat first, and then look for the Feng Shui formation and study the location of the main tomb chamber." Zhang Chen made up his mind and directly summoned the fox fairy Nannan.

At this time, Zhong Xiang's divine power was sealed, and he couldn't see the fox fairy Nannan at all. As for Chen Xu, he was just an ordinary person, how could he have the ability to see the fox fairy Nannan?
"Did you capture the Southern Qilin Zhongxiang?"

As soon as the fox fairy Nannan appeared, she cast an illusion to deceive the two people's perception. Then she circled around Zhong Xiang and looked at Zhong Xiang who was crying, unable to believe her eyes.

Not only did Zhang Chen capture Zhong Xiang, but he also made him cry. Why couldn't she believe her eyes?
This is Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang! One of the two most outstanding geniuses in Confucianism.

"It is indeed the Southern Qilin." The fox fairy Nannan circled around Zhong Xiang and after confirming that it was Zhong Xiang, a hint of indignation appeared in her eyes: "Hahaha, you have come to this day, kid. I will torture you to death this time."

"Huh? Do you have a grudge against him?" Zhang Chen looked at the fox fairy Nannan in surprise.

"I was there when he obtained the Qilin Heart, and he even cut off one of my tails. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't have been left without a tail to save my life when I met a tough enemy later, which led to my real body dying and forcing me to possess a little fox. And then I met you, a bastard."

Fox Fairy Nannan's voice was filled with indignation. She looked at Zhong Xiang with a fiery gaze and stretched out her claws towards his crotch, ready to crush his balls. "Boy, let's make a deal. You help me take over his body, and then I'll serve you at your service."

"Don't act rashly. I still have great use for this man." Zhang Chen mentally froze the fox fairy Nannan's movements, then asked curiously, "He is a man. Do you mind possessing a man?"

"This kid has melted the heart of the Qilin. I will accept it even if he asks me to be reborn as a man, and we can also transform him into a woman." Fox Fairy Nannan said: "In front of the realm of cultivation, the flesh is just a shell. What can't be seen through?"

"If I take over his body, can I gain his abilities?" Zhang Chen asked. This was the key point.

"The heart of the Qilin is in his body. As long as I take away his body, the heart of the Qilin will naturally be mine." said the fox fairy Nannan.

Zhang Chen looked at Nan Qilin Zhong Xiang thoughtfully after hearing this: "Why do you need to seize his body? Can't you just dig out his Qilin Heart?"

"The divine object like the Qilin Heart has merged into his body. It is invisible and formless and cannot be found at all. Unless you replace him and become the new owner of this body." Fox Fairy Nannan looked at Zhang Chen with burning eyes: "Boy, will you help me? If you help me, I will take over his body. I will replace the identity of Nan Qilin to help you in the future. You are going to make a fortune. The industry and power of the family behind him will be at your disposal."

Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard that and glanced at the fox fairy Nannan. The words of this vixen were very tempting, but he had to wait until he excavated the tomb of the emperor's daughter.

"I still have a use for this person. I'll give him to you when I'm done with him." Zhang Chen said.

Fox Fairy Nannan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "We have a deal, you can't coax me."

"I'm hungry, go prepare something to eat for me. By the way, now that the aura of the tomb is leaking, it will definitely attract strong human beings to come. You have to be careful and don't let anyone discover your tracks." Zhang Chen instructed the vixen.

He doesn't want to run errands anymore!
"Don't worry, I'm a seventh-level being. As long as I hide myself, who can find my trace?" Fox Fairy Nannan said proudly.

The fox fairy Nannan slipped away directly, and the illusion was broken. Chen Xu looked at Zhong Xiang who was lying on the ground crying, and hurried forward to help him up, straightened his body, and made him sit down.

"My lord, calm down! A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. You should get through this difficult time first. There is no need to put your family in danger for the sake of noble pride."

Chen Xu said nice things to Zhong Xiang in his ear, hoping to reduce his anger and avoid involving his family.

Zhong Xiang continued to cry silently without saying a word.

Zhang Chen watched this scene but did not stop it. No matter whether it was Zhong Xiang or Chen Xu, to him, they were just ants that could be crushed to death at will. The two sides had no friendship and were just tools with malicious intent.

Half an hour passed, and Zhang Chen felt a little annoyed when he heard Chen Xu's apology. During this half hour, Chen Xu kowtowed like pounding garlic and kept apologizing. His constant chatter was very annoying. Fortunately, the fox fairy Nannan came back in time.

The fox fairy Nannan had never let Zhang Chen down. He saw the fox fairy Nannan coming over with a food box and the magic began to work.

"Four-happiness meatballs, braised lamb's head, roast chicken, braised pork buns, is there anything you like?" The fox fairy Nannan came forward, her eyes full of flattery.

In order to take over Zhong Xiang's body, she completely gave up her face.

Zhang Chen did not touch the food box, but took a sip of tea slowly: "Do you know the art of Feng Shui?"

The fox fairy Nannan shook her head: "The art of Feng Shui is something you humans do. We foxes don't believe in it."

"Forget it." Zhang Chen shook his head.

"Do you want to find the key node to break through the Feng Shui formation and reach the main tomb chamber directly?" asked the fox fairy Nannan.

"Of course." Zhang Chen said.

"Then I can't help you. If I had that ability, would you be in this mysterious tomb?" At this point, the fox fairy Nannan came forward and took the initiative to massage Zhang Chen's shoulders, saying flatteringly: "Look, now I am you and you are me. We are one and we will never be separated. If there is anything good in this tomb, you must not forget me. Of course, if there is any danger in this tomb, you can call me. I, the fox fairy Nannan, am the most loyal and will never refuse."

Zhang Chen glanced at the fox fairy Nannan, too lazy to listen to her nonsense, and directly took it into the dragon energy, then slowly opened the food box. The first layer was eight four-happiness meatballs, which were packed in a ceramic jar. The fragrance spread in the air, and Chen Xu, who was originally comforting Zhong Xiang, stopped and turned to look at Zhang Chen, his stomach rumbling.

"Your Majesty, could you give me something to eat? I am starving to death." Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen aggrievedly.

Zhang Chen sat on the mound holding the four-happiness meatballs and ate them with chopsticks, then pointed at the food box: "Everything in there is for you."

Chen Xu kowtowed in thanks, then walked forward carefully to open the food box. His eyes widened as he looked at the roast goose and braised lamb's head.

However, he did not move, but said cautiously: "Your Majesty, that Master Zhong Xiang has not eaten yet, you see..."

"Do you want to curry favor with him?" Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xu with a smile.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "I just hope that our family will not be implicated. I know that I am doomed. Whether Master Zhong Xiang has a chance to escape or dies at the hands of Your Majesty, it is just the difference between his personal revenge and the revenge of his family behind him."

Zhang Chen remained silent upon hearing this. He would never let Zhong Xiang go. Once he uncovered the truth, Zhong Xiang would be dead.

Zhang Chen waved his hand, and a silver light flowed from the Zhong Xiang's body, and it flew directly back into the green lotus that was transformed by its magic power.

Zhong Xiang was freed. He glared at Zhang Chen with tears in his eyes and cried, "You lowly man, kill me if you dare. Otherwise, if you let me escape, I will kill your entire family."

Zhang Chen glanced at Zhong Xiang and ate the Four Joy Meatballs happily. Four Joy Meatballs were his favorite. "Chen Xu, you wasted half an hour of saliva."

At this moment, Chen Xu's body shuddered, and he came to Zhong Xiang with a food box in his hand, knelt down beside him, and advised him respectfully: "Sir, please say less. You are now a prisoner, and if you say too much, you will suffer, right?"

"Hmph, even if I become a prisoner, I will never bow down to a pariah." Zhong Xiang's voice was full of determination.

"You, an accomplice of the untouchables, stop pretending to be a good person here. After I escape, I will kill your entire clan." Zhong Xiang directed his anger on Chen Xu again, pointing at Chen Xu's nose and cursing.

Chen Xu was speechless after hearing this. This was the true example of doing good things with good intentions but not getting any good rewards. After hearing what Zhong Xiang said, he wanted to throw the food box in his hand directly on his face and smash this arrogant face to pieces, but he didn't dare to. He was afraid! He was terrified!
He just wanted himself not to be implicated and for his family to have a chance to survive.

"Sir, please stop saying angry words. That boy really dares to take action! He is not just talking. Tell me... if he humiliates you again, like peeing on your face or in your mouth, do you want to live?" Chen Xu continued to persuade him in a humble manner, his voice full of helplessness.

When Chen Xu spoke, there seemed to be a faint smell of fishy smell coming from his mouth.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Zhong Xiang shuddered, stared at Chen Xu in horror with eyes wide open, opened his mouth and wanted to curse out loud, but still held back.

"Please have something to eat."

Seeing that Zhong Xiang did not open his mouth to refute, Chen Xu knew that it had worked and quickly handed over the roast chicken.

"If I don't want to eat it, how can I eat the enemy's food?" Zhong Xiang said coldly.

"Think about it, it's precisely because they're the enemy's things that you feel relieved after eating them. And only by eating the food can you continue to live, and only then can you have the strength to hold on to the end, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, or find a chance to escape." Chen Xu was extremely humble at this time, and his voice was full of flattery.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang glanced at Zhang Chen who was eating meatballs in the distance, and then looked at the roast chicken in front of him. It seemed that the roast chicken in front of him turned into Zhang Chen. Zhong Xiang directly took the roast chicken and took a big bite.

"These nobles are all paper tigers. They shout about justice and sentiment, but what are they really like? They are all prostitutes and thieves behind the scenes, and none of them has any backbone. Although they have the power of the strong, they don't have the mentality of the strong." Zhang Chen set the tone for the nobles of this world very pertinently, and then reflected on himself:
"Well, I'm different! I don't need the heart of a strong man. I just need to improve my skills. Why do I need the so-called heart of a strong man?"

While munching on the four-happiness meatballs, Zhang Chen watched Chen Xu being extremely servile and respectful as he served Zhong Xiang his meal. Then, he waited until Zhong Xiang had finished his meal before he picked up the leftovers and ate them.

Zhang Chen shook his head secretly. Although he understood Chen Xu, he did not approve of Chen Xu's approach: "Chen Xu clearly thinks that I can't kill Zhong Xiang. According to common sense, I can't kill him without the Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation. But unfortunately, I am not in common sense. If a twelfth-level god dares to step into my Nine-bend Yellow River Talisman Formation, I will scatter his ashes."

After finishing the meal, Zhang Chen said to Chen Xu: "It's time to work."

Chen Xu looked at Zhang Chen, waiting for his instructions. Zhang Chen said lazily, "Go by yourself. When you find the location of the main tomb chamber, come back and report to me."

He was not afraid that Chen Xu would run away, and Chen Xu did not dare to run away either, because Zhong Xiang was here. If he dared to run away, Zhong Xiang would definitely kill his entire family afterwards.

"By the way, don't do anything stupid. Send a message to the outside world saying that this kid is with me. You should know my methods. If I can suppress Zhong Xiang, I can escape before the reinforcements arrive." Zhang Chen warned Chen Xu.

Chen Xu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "You think too highly of me. I dare not offend you, nor do I dare to offend you."

"But this forest is neither big nor small. If the other party comes to you, you can't blame me." Chen Xu said.

"Even if they come here, they won't be able to see this guy." Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, "Go quickly."

Chen Xu stood up and said goodbye. Zhang Chen looked at Zhong Xiang and said, "I think we can talk."

"What to talk about? About me not killing you? Or about how I will kill your entire family?" Zhong Xiang glared at Zhang Chen.

"Talk about how you can suffer less. If you keep talking to me in such a cocky and superior manner, I'm really going to pee in your mouth." Zhang Chen smiled coldly.

Zhong Xiang's face turned pale when he heard this, but he didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. Instead, he said condescendingly: "What do you want to talk about first? Do you want me to forgive your sins, mom? Or forgive the sins of your family? If you want to make amends and ask me for something, you have to beg me. You look so annoying now, I don't see your attitude of admitting your mistakes."

He originally wanted to release half of the suppression on the other party, and let him take the initiative to melt the rocks to open up the tomb, but seeing the arrogant look on the other party's face, Zhang Chen thought it was better not to talk about it. After all, he had put a talisman on this guy unexpectedly. If this guy had a chance to run away, he would be in big trouble.

"Even if he refuses to cooperate, I can make good use of him and make him cooperate 'actively'." The immobilization talisman in Zhang Chen's hand flew out and immobilized Zhong Xiang again. At the same time, he reinforced it with a suppression talisman to prevent this kid from doing anything secretly.
