"The reason I revealed my identity to everyone is to seek cooperation. Although I, as a princess of an elite race, have long coveted the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, I have been unable to get close to him. I don't know why this is the case?"
When Yuebai finished speaking, a look of dejection appeared on her face. No one could imagine that, as a princess of the Elf race, Yuebai should have been able to control the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey of the Elf race's flower. How could it be like this?
In fact, Liu Ziming could understand Yuebai's thoughts. After all, as the princess of the Elf race, if he could not control the Elf race's clan flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, he would not be able to control the entire Elf (cibj) race in the future. This was a rule established by their clan.
"Ahem, it's not that we don't want to help you, but what should we do? After all, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey is something unfamiliar to us, and it's filled with an evil aura. It's not so easy to get close to. Cat Angel was hurt by it before."
Upon hearing that Liu Ziming had agreed to help her, Yuebai's face immediately lit up with joy. As long as Liu Ziming and the others agreed, nothing else mattered.
"Hehe, didn't you hear that strange sound before? That was a conversation between you and the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey. You should know why now, right?"
Upon hearing Yuebai's words, Liu Ziming's face immediately showed a surprised expression. Could it be that he really was the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey? That didn't seem quite right. "Hehe, so you're talking about that strange old guy who's always buzzing in my ear. It's so annoying. How can you believe what he says?"
Hearing Liu Ziming speak of the guardian deity of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey in such a way, Yuebai's face immediately showed displeasure. After all, that was the guardian deity of the Elf race's clan flower; how could he slander her like that? "You're the annoying one! How can you just slander the guardian deity of our Elf race's clan flower like that? You're really annoying; I'm ignoring you!"
No one expected Yuebai to change her expression so suddenly, and to act so ridiculously. Could it be that this guy and Liu Ziming had been in contact all along? That doesn't seem right. "Miss Yuebai, that stinky spider didn't mean it that way at all. Please don't take it to heart. That guy is just like that, always acting strangely. We're used to it."
Hearing what the Slime Mirror said, everyone's eyes widened, wondering what this guy was thinking. Why did he seem to have changed his personality? They couldn't understand it at all.
"What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? You guys are just too narrow-minded. Since Miss Yuebai needs our help, it's our honor and we should do our duty without hesitation."
Looking at the indignant expression on Slime Mirror's face, everyone was baffled. Why was this guy so devoted to Moon White Girl? Did she have some ulterior motive? "Hehe, this lady is so beautiful, and her words are so pleasant to hear. Why do I feel so close to you?"
It must be said that Yuebai, as the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord and a princess of the Elf Clan, is indeed superior in both emotional intelligence and IQ. She quickly realized that to win over her boyfriend, she needed to win him over and get along well with him.
"Moonlight Princess, don't be too happy yet. Actually, I'm also very curious. Why can't you control the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, as the princess of the Elf race? That doesn't seem to make sense."
Upon hearing what the Slime Mirror said, Yuebai's face immediately showed an embarrassed expression. He really didn't want to recall that history, but he had no choice. If he didn't tell them, these people definitely wouldn't help him.
"Ahem, Slime Mirror, you shouldn't treat a stranger like this. Perhaps he has some unspeakable difficulties. We should help if we can, but if we really can't, don't try to be a hero, okay? After all, this is the Monster Forest." Senior Giant Ape didn't have much affection for Yue Bai. Since this guy was the daughter of the Demon King's City Lord, he must be quite evil at heart, so he didn't intend to help Yue Bai.
Upon hearing what the giant ape senior said, Yuebai's expression kept changing, as if he was having a fierce internal struggle about whether or not to reveal all his secrets to everyone.
"Hehe, Miss Yuebai, what this old monkey said makes perfect sense. We roughnecks are completely suppressed in the Demon Beast Forest, and we can't play a significant role. It might disappoint you?" Hearing the Flame Dragon Elder say this, Yuebai seemed to have made an important decision.
Chapter 343 The unspeakable secret
"Since everyone is so interested in knowing about my past, I actually didn't want to talk about it, but as friends, I have to tell you my story. As for whether you will help me or not, that's up to fate."
Seeing the somewhat forlorn expression on Princess Yuebai's face, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. After all, this was the Monster Forest, and no one wanted to lose their life here in vain.
"My father is indeed the lord of the Demon King's City, but my mother is a princess of the Elf Clan. When they were young, they admired each other and that's how I came to be! This fact is not recognized by the Demon King's City or the Elf Clan, so my status as a princess is only nominal and I have not been recognized by the Elf Clan. Only by gaining the recognition of the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey might I have a chance to reunite with my mother."
After Yuebai finished recounting this somewhat heavy history, everyone's heart couldn't help but clench. This amount of information was really too much for them. The city lord of the Demon King's City actually had a beautiful history with the princess of the Elf Clan. It was really hard to understand.
Seeing that everyone was silent and their expressions were particularly solemn, Yuebai knew that the amount of information he needed might be a bit much for acquaintances, but he could only wait; time was no longer important to him.
"I know that you may not understand why I insist on gaining the approval of the elven race. It's because when I was very young, my mother was forcibly taken back by the elven race, and I have never seen her since. I really miss her."
In truth, Yuebai didn't intend to move everyone with emotion, but he had no choice. Without their help, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to see his mother, whom he longed for day and night. "Miss Yuebai, although my abilities are limited, I really have little interest in your matter!"
Upon hearing Liu Ziming say such a thing, Yuebai's face was instantly covered in tears, like a flood that had been released, completely uncontrollable. She squatted down on the ground and began to sob uncontrollably. No one expected that Liu Ziming would be so heartless, directly rejecting a poor girl. The way they looked at him changed, even showing a sense of contempt.
"Because they've already told you something so embarrassing, why are you still acting like this?" Nobody understood why Liu Ziming would do this.
"Ahem, Miss Yuebai, please don't be like this. Let me finish. I only said I wasn't interested in your personal matters, not that I wouldn't help you."
Liu Ziming had no idea that before he could even express his meaning clearly, Yuebai had squatted down and started sobbing. He had no choice but to go forward and help her up, but seeing the somewhat disapproving looks in the eyes of the others, he had to hold back.
However, upon hearing Liu Ziming's words, Yuebai reacted as if she had grasped a lifeline, leaping up from the ground and landing on top of him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck in a very affectionate manner. "Ahem, Miss Yuebai, you'd better get down quickly; this doesn't seem quite appropriate?"
Liu Ziming never dreamed that Yuebai's happy appearance would be so frightening. She actually jumped into his arms. Looking at the eyes of the other people, who seemed to want to devour him, he felt particularly miserable. What did this have to do with him?
"Thank you, thank you so much everyone! You all helped me fulfill my wish to see my mother. I really didn't have any ulterior motives, it was just such a small wish?"
Yuebai felt a little embarrassed. She got off Liu Ziming and thanked everyone. After all, everyone had helped her, and she had to express her gratitude.
"Hehe, Miss Yuebai, although we have agreed to help you, we don't know what to do. Is it possible that any of us can gain the approval of the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey of Candle Flower? That seems a bit unrealistic." Although the Giant Ape Elder wasn't particularly interested in Yuebai, hearing her somewhat tragic history filled him with emotion, which is why he said that.
…ask for flowers.
"That's right, that's right, Yuebai, since you want us to help you, you have to let us know how to help you. You can't just blindly go around doing things like a blind man touching an elephant; that will only make things worse."
Seeing that the Giant Ape had agreed to help Yuebai, the old Flame Dragon echoed him, for Yuebai's history had deeply moved him. This girl was truly pitiful; she hadn't seen her mother in a long time, something he couldn't accept.
"It's actually very simple. Someone among you must have gained the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, otherwise, why would he be following you around like a tail that you can't shake off?"
Hearing Yuebai say this, everyone's eyes widened, but they really couldn't understand who could possibly gain the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf Clan. Could it be that guy Liu Ziming? Perhaps it was only him?
"Moonlight Maiden, you're not talking about that stinky spider, are you? He's always so irresponsible and carefree. How could he possibly have won the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf Clan?"
The cat angel stared wide-eyed at Liu Ziming. He truly couldn't believe that Liu Ziming could gain the approval of the elven race's flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey. It just didn't seem right. "What the cat says is absolutely right, Miss Moonwhite. If you were talking about someone else, I might believe you, but Liu Ziming definitely doesn't have that kind of ability."
Slime Mirror was already deeply jealous of the relationship between Liu Ziming and Yuebai, so when he heard the cat angel say that, he quickly echoed her words, trying to maintain his perfect image in Yuebai's heart. "Miss Yuebai, I'm quite young, but I really can't imagine that the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of your elven race, isn't only for those who are righteous and brave to gain his approval?" Even the Seven-Colored Deer couldn't believe that Liu Ziming would gain the approval of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the elven race; he simply wouldn't believe it.
Chapter 344 is truly incomprehensible.
Hearing these guys so pessimistic about him, Liu Ziming's expression turned displeased, but he dared not show it. If he showed too much, these guys would definitely not let him off the hook. "Hehe, Miss Yuebai, perhaps you really have misjudged me. Even my companions don't believe me. Do you really have that much faith in me?"
There was no other way. Since he had already agreed to help Princess Yuebai of the Elf Clan, these guys would definitely not let him go if he didn't lend a hand. But these guys didn't think much of him at all. What could he do? He was in a dilemma.
"Thank you, Spider Master! Since you're willing to help, things are very simple. As long as the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey of Candle Flowers is completely integrated with you, you can help me with '187'?"
Upon hearing Princess Yuebai of the Elf Clan say this, everyone's expressions became even more astonished. How could the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey have completely merged with Liu Ziming? They truly couldn't imagine such a thing; it was simply too bizarre.
"Hehe, Yuebai, aren't you missing your mother too much? Liu Ziming is possessed by an evil god, how can he merge with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey? That seems a bit unrealistic, doesn't it?"
After all, the old giant ape was old and experienced. When he heard Yuebai say these words, he really couldn't understand or believe it. So he spoke up and asked what kind of method and wording this girl had.
"Actually, things aren't as complicated as you think. As long as Liu Ziming fully unleashes the spiritual power in his mind and summons the Seven-Colored Mystic Journey, the flower of the Elf race, the two of them can merge!" Liu Ziming hadn't expected things to be so simple, and it didn't seem to pose much of a danger, so he agreed without any hesitation.
"Princess Moon White, since that's how it is, I'll agree. But I have a caveat: if I can't completely merge with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, then I have no other options. You'll have to find another expert."
In fact, over the years, Yuebai had considered many methods related to the Elf race's Seven-Colored Dream Journey of the Candle Flower. He had even learned about these methods from an ancient book, but they hadn't been verified, so he wasn't entirely confident. "As long as you're willing to merge with the Elf race's Seven-Colored Dream Journey of the Candle Flower, I won't blame you for anything else, whether it succeeds or not?"
Everyone's expressions turned strange upon hearing Princess Yuebai of the Elf Clan's words. If things were truly that simple, hadn't anyone tried it all these years? "Princess Yuebai, forgive my impertinence in interrupting you, but after all these years, haven't you found a more suitable candidate? Why choose this stinky spider?" Even now, the slime still refused to believe that Liu Ziming was the primary candidate for the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, hence his words.
"Ahem, actually I've tried countless times over the years, but none of them have been successful. The Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey has never happened. To be honest, even I find it hard to believe." Seeing the somewhat dejected expression on Princess Yuebai's face, everyone truly believed that perhaps Liu Ziming was the best candidate. If they hadn't tried, they wouldn't have known.
"Since that's the case, you absolutely can't back down, you stinky spider. Even if there's danger, don't refuse. If you can help Yuebai, it might be the best thing you've ever done in your life." Slime Jing actually imitated the old man's manner, appearing particularly mature and composed, and used this tone to persuade Liu Ziming.
"Yes, yes, Spider Master, please don't be so polite. Since Princess Moon White has chosen you, there must be some connection between you and the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey. Although you already possess the body of an evil god, it seems that this is exactly what the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey needs?"
Even the cat angel seemed impatient, constantly urging Liu Ziming to agree. It looked like he wouldn't be spared if he didn't...
"What are you all doing? Didn't I already say I would definitely help?"
Liu Ziming was truly miserable. Everyone had given up on him, yet now they were all jumping in, forcing him to agree. How could these guys be like this? "Spider Boss, let me, as an old-timer, say a few more words. Since you've become Princess Yuebai's top choice, the sooner the better. Let's not delay any longer."
Upon hearing that the giant ape elder had also said the same thing, Liu Ziming sat down on the ground without any hesitation and quickly concentrated his mental energy. He had to get himself into the best possible state because he was afraid that something unexpected or dangerous might happen, which would mean he would die, and that would be too much of a loss.
"My God, this guy's mental power is so strong, it's making me feel dizzy!"
"Slime Mirror, can't you be a little more composed? Didn't you see that Liu Ziming is concentrating on summoning the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey? If you interfere with him, you'll regret it when danger strikes!" "Exactly! Didn't you see the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey slowly approaching that guy? And it's emitting a seven-colored halo, it even seems to be merging with him?"
Because everyone was really incredulous, Liu Ziming had only been sitting on the ground for about twenty or thirty minutes when the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey of Candle Flowers actually floated towards him, radiating a seven-colored halo, and looked particularly joyful, which surprised everyone who saw it.
"Hehe, it seems my choice was really right. This guy really does have some kind of connection with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, otherwise the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey would never be like this?" Because what Yuebai saw in that ancient book was exactly the same as Liu Ziming's current situation, without any mistakes. He believed that he would definitely succeed.
However, Liu Ziming hadn't expected that when his mental energy was released, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, would actually approach. His heart was somewhat unsettled.
Chapter 345 This is too evil!
Because Liu Ziming could clearly feel the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey slowly permeating his body, it had almost completely merged with him. "Look! Look! The Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey is slowly fading, it's really like little bugs crawling into that guy's body, isn't that too evil?" "My God, this guy must really be someone the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey likes, otherwise he would never act like this?"
"My goodness, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey actually likes this evil guy, it's really incomprehensible. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't like him?"
Because everyone found it hard to believe that the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey was slowly merging with Liu Ziming. The aura of the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey had gradually faded, but Liu Ziming's body was still radiating a seven-colored halo, making him appear particularly sacred.
"How could this be? How could this be? Could this guy become the prince consort of the Elf race? Otherwise, why would the Elf race's flower, the Seven-Colored Fairy, like this guy?"
It has to be said that Slime Mirror's inner thoughts are rather bizarre and strange. His eyes were wide open, but he didn't say anything. He knew that if he did, it would definitely give everyone a weird feeling.
After about forty or fifty minutes, everyone was getting impatient. Liu Ziming was still sitting with his eyes closed, not moving at all, as if he had fallen into a deep meditation. "My goodness, is this guy possessed? We haven't moved an inch, and so much time has passed?"
Although the Flame Dragon Elder, being a member of the dragon race, had seen a lot, he had never seen Liu Zimo like this before, and he was still somewhat worried as he spoke to the Giant Ape Elder.
"There shouldn't be any major problems. Didn't you see that the seven-colored halo around this guy is slowly fading? Perhaps this is a fusion process. As long as we don't disturb him, I believe he will wake up soon?"
In truth, the Giant Ape was more worried than anyone else. If anything happened to Liu Ziming, they would be stuck in the Monster Forest, and only Liu Ziming could decipher the information on the Monster Forest map. He didn't want that to happen. "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. The Elf race's flower has now completely merged with Liu Ziming. I really didn't expect my choice to be so correct. If I hadn't seen this guy when we entered the city, I wouldn't have had this thought."
Perhaps Yuebai was too excited, because she blurted out her original thoughts without any concealment. However, everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this, and their gazes towards Yuebai changed somewhat. "Holy crap, Princess Yuebai of the Elf Clan is actually so cunning! She had already made plans all along. So this wasn't a chance encounter; it was premeditated?"
"My goodness, it seems a woman's heart really is as unfathomable as the ocean! No wonder we ran into each other so coincidentally when we went to the city; it turns out it was all this girl's doing!"
"My goodness, Yuebai seems like a simple girl, but I never expected her to be so shrewd. No wonder she didn't hesitate at all when we entered the city and helped us get our entry tokens. She had her own plans all along!" Yuebai hadn't expected that her words would cause so much resentment, but there was nothing she could do now that she had already said it. She could only show an embarrassed expression on her face.
"Hehe, everyone, things aren't as you think. Actually, if Liu Ziming merges with the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Wonderful Journey of Candle Flower, it will be a great help to him. At least his strength has been raised to the level of an Elf King. Isn't that a good thing?"
In fact, Yuebai was absolutely right. If Liu Ziming truly merged completely with the Seven-Colored Slow Mark, the flower of the Elf race, his condition could reach a peak, even surpassing his previous state. "Hehe, that's not what we're concerned about right now. If anything happens to Liu Ziming, don't worry, I'll be the first to make you pay!"
Slime Mirror speaks his mind without hesitation because he finds Yuebai's thoughts too complicated, and Liu Ziming to be a complete fool.
Actually, it wasn't just the slime who thought this way; everyone thought the same thing, they just didn't say it out loud.
Thankfully, after about ten minutes, Liu Ziming slowly stood up, exuding an aura of supreme majesty that made even those who saw him feel a chill. "My goodness, it seems this guy's strength has improved considerably. The Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, is truly not to be underestimated?"
"My goodness, this guy's skin is so fair and smooth, much better than mine! Could this be the effect of the Elf Clan's Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey of Candlelight?" "Haha, it seems that Liu Ziming's family really has incredible luck; all sorts of good things have fallen into his lap?"
When Liu Ziming slowly awoke from his slumber, he had completely merged with the enchanting seven-colored journey of the Elf race. However, seeing that everyone's expressions were somewhat different, he didn't understand what had happened.
Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something strange about my face? Or have I changed?
Everyone laughed when they heard Liu Ziming ask such a silly question, and their laughter was particularly strange, each with a different inner emotion. "Liu Ziming, now that you have completely merged with the Seven-Colored Slow Journey, the flower of the Mind Clan, you can now help me!"
No one expected that Princess Yuebai of the Elf Clan, seemingly unconcerned about what had happened to Liu Ziming, would so urgently ask for his help. "If you let me drink a portion of your blood, I will gain the approval of the entire Elf Clan. It sounds evil, but is there no other way?" In truth, Yuebai didn't want to do this, but that's how it was recorded in the ancient books; she had no other option.
Chapter 346 Opportunities and Dangers Coexist
No one expected that Yuebai could gain the recognition of the Elf race only by having someone merge with the Elf race's clan flower, the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, and then drink a portion of his blood—a method that sounded incredibly evil. "Yuebai, you're dreaming! This is impossible! If you drink the stinky spider's blood, won't he just kick the bucket? Not only will he object, I'll object first! Don't even think about it!" Slime Mirror truly couldn't understand how Yuebai could have come up with such a disgusting method. He couldn't accept it at all and advised Liu Ziming not to agree.
"Exactly! If you drink Liu Ziming's blood, what will you do if he gets into danger? Are you absolutely sure he won't be harmed? We won't allow it!" Cat Angel actually stood directly in front of Liu Ziming, afraid that Yuebai might do something else at this moment, which he wouldn't be able to handle, so he had to stay vigilant at all times.
"Cough cough, Yuebai, your idea is really crazy. We will never agree to it. Liu Ziming is our only hope in the Monster Forest. He has the map of the Monster Forest, and only he can understand the information on it. If something happens to him, then we will all lose all hope."
Even the giant ape elder couldn't understand how the elven princess Yuebai could have such a crazy idea, so he directly stopped her.
He didn't mean to be unwilling to help the poor girl, but he also didn't want Liu Ziming to be in any danger. After all, everyone's hopes were in his hands, and he simply didn't want anything to happen to him. "Ahem, if you have a better way, perhaps we can consider it, but you want to drink Liu Ziming's blood? That seems impossible. We will never agree to that." The old Flame Dragon kept wagging its long tail, appearing very arrogant, meaning to remind Yuebai not to make any risky moves, or it would definitely retaliate without hesitation.
Seeing everyone shielding him, he was deeply moved. However, he also understood that since he had completely merged with the Seven-Colored Fairy Flower, the flower of the Elf race, absorbing some of her blood might bring unexpected opportunities. After all, he knew that opportunity and danger always go hand in hand.
"Hehe, I understand what everyone is thinking. Let's hear what Yuebai has to say first. If there's no danger, we can give it a try. After all, his background is so pitiful, and you all agreed before, right?" Liu Ziming felt that if he didn't say something at this moment, Yuebai would not only be embarrassed, but these people might really tear him to pieces. "Have you lost your mind? How could you have such an idea? Are you crazy?"
"Exactly, don't think that just because you've merged with the Seven-Colored Enchanting Journey, the flower of the Elf race, you possess the terrifying power of the Elf King. But do you really want to try something so dangerous?" "Ahem, Spider Boss, I advise you to give up this crazy idea. If things go wrong, you might really lose your life. Think it over carefully."
Everyone was puzzled. How could Liu Ziming have such crazy ideas and actions again? Was it because of Yuebai's pitiful background? Even so, they would not agree to it.
"Hehe, it seems you really misunderstood what I said and what I was thinking. I didn't mean that. I didn't want to absorb all of Liu Ziming's blood. I only wanted to absorb a small portion. It won't have any other effects. You can rest assured."
