Chapter 73 Black Teeth Zhou Mei is very tired now, very tired. She walked in the deserted forest, carefully wrapping her robe tightly around her body. These were the only clothes she had left, from her father the King. Zhou Mei has always had a very sensitive nose, so she could smell the scent of her father on the clothes, which made her feel nauseous and a little scared. But she couldn't give it up because it was the only robe she had. Although she had no shame in being naked, it was different in this woods. This forest is full of thorns, and if you are not careful you will get your skin scratched, leaving scars that will never go away. Logically speaking, although she practiced the art of charm rather than cultivating her body, she was, after all, a practitioner with some skills, and should not be afraid of being scratched by thorns. But it's different here. "Master, I really don't know whether I should thank you or hate you."
Zhou Mei muttered to herself and spread out her hands. Blood lines appeared on her palms and gathered into the image of Jiang Lin. She opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and licked the blood clean. "When my father finally couldn't help himself, your appearance interrupted him." "what……" Zhou Mei smiled and wrapped her robe tightly around her body. The smell from her father gave her goose bumps all over her body, as if she was back to that night again. The man whom she should call father hugged her tightly with red eyes. If Jiang Lin hadn't suddenly come to her door, she might have really lost her last bit of dignity. She really wanted to throw away the robe, but a woman's love of beauty made her suppress the impulse. Zhou Mei was walking barefoot and slowly in the forest. The forest was full of darkness. The trees, the branches, the ground underfoot, everything was dark. Apart from her, there seemed to be no living creatures. Not even the chirping of cicadas, birds, or buzzing of insects could be heard. This situation, which is completely contrary to common sense, is very normal here because this is the underworld. Zhou Mei walked forward aimlessly, her feet were bleeding, but she didn't care, leaving one bloody footprint after another on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Mei stopped and raised her eyes. A monk appeared from nowhere in front of her. An old monk with a long snow-white beard who looks very kind, just one look at him can make people think of adjectives such as "compassionate", "kind", "virtuous monk". The old monk also saw Zhou Mei and smiled slightly. In this smile, his teeth were faintly revealed. It was pitch black, with a little blood in it, like the teeth that had just eaten raw meat and drank blood.
As soon as the teeth were revealed, the monk's original compassionate demeanor disappeared instantly, and was replaced by an indescribable weird meaning. That smile with those weird teeth made people feel cold to the core and dared not look at it any more. Zhou Mei felt the same way. She shuddered. Every time she came into contact with this old monk, she always had the illusion that she would be eaten in the next moment. No, that's not an illusion. If given the chance, the old monk wouldn't mind eating her. Literally eaten. The charm techniques that she practiced were of no use in front of this old monk. He has no heart, so naturally he has no desire. Because his heart has been eaten by himself. "Your Highness." The black-toothed monk nodded with a smile, clasped his hands together in a salute, and spoke in a soothing and kind tone. If you only listened to the sound, you would feel like you were in a spring breeze. Zhou Mei nodded expressionlessly. She was too lazy to waste her expression in front of the guy who couldn't be charmed. "Master, how is Father?" She asked worriedly. "Ha ha……" The black-toothed monk smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is the wet bone forest of the underworld, a place where no living creatures can escape. Even ghosts won't set foot here. Don't tell Six Ears, there are even generals secretly protecting you, so there's no need to pretend." "Aren't you the one who wants Qiansui to die the most?" Zhou Mei heard this and said calmly, "As a son, isn't it normal for me to care about my father? Why did the master say it so bluntly?" "Amitabha." The black-toothed monk put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and said, "A monk does not tell lies." "If Sakyamuni knew that you were his disciple, he would probably be furious." Zhou Mei narrowed her eyes and said coldly. She knew the background of the black-toothed monk in front of her. It was extremely awkward to hear the words "Amitabha" come out of his mouth. "Your Highness is obsessed." The black-toothed monk still had a kind and smiling face, and said gently: "I am practicing Buddhism, so why can't I sincerely chant Amitabha?" "hehe." Zhou Mei sneered in response. Seeing this, the Black Tooth Monk didn't care and changed the subject, saying, "How is your plan going?" "Master, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
Zhou Mei glanced at him and sneered, "I lost so many people to make that mage believe that everything was done by my father." "Now, the snipe and the clam are fighting each other, and the old master is also the one who benefits." "But, Master, do you really have no guilt at all? You asked me to charge into battle, even to face the thunder of the gods, but you are standing on the dry shore." The Black Tooth Monk smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, no." "What the princess said is too serious." "As long as the princess wants, those people will come just by waving." "The most important thing is whether the wizard really believes everything." Zhou Mei stared at the Black Tooth Monk and asked coldly, "What do you mean?" "From the very beginning, this old monk did not agree with your highness' plan." The Black Tooth Monk sighed slowly and said, "There is nothing wrong with following the current and driving a tiger to devour a wolf. The mistake is that the princess tried to control a Black Law Mage." "Then what do you want me to do?" Zhou Mei sneered and said, "You didn't take any action, you just talked after the fact." "If I hadn't gone with the flow in that situation, not only would my father's plan have been ruined, but you and I would have been wiped out." "We take this risky move because it is the only way to break the impasse!" The Black Tooth Monk did not defend himself in the face of Zhou Mei's anger, but continued to smile and said, "This old monk is indeed a bit of a hindsighter, and I apologize to Your Highness." "Now that things have come to this, Your Highness can rest now. I will leave everything to this old monk." "The tiger has been driven to devour the wolf. No matter whether the mage has figured out the truth or not, he must confront Qiansui." "Next, it's the old monk's turn." Zhou Mei sneered when she heard that. It sounds nice, but in fact it is just picking peaches and grabbing credit. The appearance of Jiang Lin disrupted King Song's plan and also caught Zhou Mei and the Black Tooth Monk off guard. Zhou Mei could only take a risky move and blame everything on King Song, using one plan to cover up a deeper plan. She faced life-and-death dangers twice in front of Jiang Lin before she managed to stabilize the situation. Now that everything has settled, the old monk who has been watching from the sidelines suddenly jumped out and said these hypocritically. "Thank you for your hard work, Master." Zhou Mei sneered and said, "I hope I can see the master alive again in the future." "Amitabha." The Black Tooth Monk seemed not to hear the hidden meaning behind Zhou Mei's words and nodded sincerely.
"Everything, for your majesty." (End of this chapter)
