Green Pearl had no doubts.
After all, how could such a cute and innocent little Spirit Beast lie like Jiang Fan?
Qintian Bureau.
A small suspended island space was vibrating intensely.
Urgh urgh urgh~
Jiang Fan stumbled and held onto a wall, vomiting again.
"Even a dog wouldnāt want to sit in a state-level teleportation array!"
"Well, youād better take as many rides as you can. Soon, the state-level teleportation arrays across the Nine States will be shut down."
An elderly voice emerged from behind.
Jiang Fan turned his head and saw the Great Wine Sacrifice sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the hall, as if he had predicted Jiang Fanās return.
"Why?"
The Great Wine Sacrifice spoke calmly: "After the Ancient Giants descend, inevitably some Great States will collapse."
"If the state-level teleportation arrays remain active, wonāt the Ancient Giants who free up their hands be able to quickly support other states?"
Jiang Fan pondered slightly.
That makes sense.
Itās impossible for the Nine States to withstand the Ancient Giants; inevitably, one or several Great States will fall.
The existence of state-level teleportation arrays would become a springboard for the free-roaming Ancient Giants.
Before the Ancient Giants arrive, they will certainly be shut down.
He couldnāt help but think of Ling Shu.
She went to the Spiritual Snake Mountain in the Demon Continent with Liu Li; he wondered if they had returned.
Clearing his mind, he looked at the Great Wine Sacrifice sitting at the entrance, curiously asking, "Are you waiting for me?"
The Great Wine Sacrifice waved the horsetail whisk and slowly stood up: "Who else would I be waiting for?"
He looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Let me see the Purple Empress."
Eh?
Jiang Fan was somewhat surprised.
How well-informed the Great Wine Sacrifice was; he already knew what had happened to him in Hunyuan State.
Could it be the True Word Venerable who returned ahead of him and told?
Probably not.
The True Word Venerable was too ashamed to meet people and wished to hide away, so how would he dare mention what happened in Hunyuan State?
But, how did the Great Wine Sacrifice know what happened far away in Hunyuan State?
Thinking about it, he took out a mirror, where the sealed Purple Empress glared at him coldly with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Jiang Fan flicked the mirror and said, "What are you staring at? If you keep staring, Iām going to sell you off."
The Great Wine Sacrifice stepped forward, gazing at the Purple Empress with her purple skin in the mirror.
He touched the mirror with his finger and closed his eyes slightly.
After a while, his old eyes slowly opened:
"Indeed, this lady is not ordinary."
Jiang Fan shook the mirror, feeling a bit speechless.
Isnāt that obvious?
With her whole body being purple-skinned.
Moreover, sheās only eight zhang tall but has the strength of a Giant King.
Plus, sheās the daughter of the Giant Emperor.
How could she be ordinary?
"What do you plan to do with her?" the Great Wine Sacrifice asked.
Jiang Fan looked at the Purple Empress earnestly and said, "Keep her by my side."
Talking about selling her off to recover funds was merely a jest to tease the Purple Empress.
Her value is immeasurable.
With her presence, Taicang Great State has an additional bargaining chip against the Ancient Giants.
This is something that ten or even a hundred Wish Papers couldnāt achieve.
The Great Wine Sacrifice, with a meaningful tone, said, "Hmm, treat her well."
Jiang Fan wore a puzzled expression, almost thinking he had misheard.
The Great Wine Sacrifice actually reminded him to be kind to a Female Giant King?
Could it be that the Female Giantās background, besides being the daughter of the Giant Emperor, is so significant that she mustnāt be harmed?
However, he didnāt have any intention of mistreating the Purple Empress.
He nodded casually and said, "I understand, then Iāll take my leave."
He hadnāt returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for a long time and wondered how they were doing.
"There, there, just over there."
Suddenly, a soft voice was heard.
Jiang Fan could tell it was the Little Qilin just by the sound, and he looked over with a hint of joy.
But what he saw made his expression slightly stiff.
He saw a young girl in a green dress, beautiful enough to topple a country, holding a Little Qilin and approaching as if by instantaneous movement.
Her face was frosty, her eyes filled with anger and the excitement of finding a great enemy.
If not Green Pearl, then who?
"Hehehe! Jiang Fan!" Green Pearlās eyes were blazing, and she was like a small volcano spewing magma.
"I finally found you!"
Jiang Fan paused: "How did you find this place?"
He looked around in bewilderment.
Isnāt this the Qintian Bureau?
The place where Taicang Great Stateās mightiest reside to confront the Ancient Giants!
As a member of the Ancient Giants, Green Pearl must be crazy to come here?
Green Pearl sneered repeatedly, stroking the Little Qilin in her arms and said:
"Of course, it was this cute and kind-hearted little Spirit Beast that showed the way!"
"Jiang Fan, just look at yourself, even a little Spirit Beast couldnāt stand your actions and knew I was seeking revenge against you, so it led the way without hesitation!"
"You despicable human and beast!"
"Prepare to die!"
Uh!
Jiang Fan looked at the Little Qilin and finally understood.
He even felt a bit sympathetic towards Green Pearl.
Tricked by him in the Heavenly Realm.
And then, tricked again by the Little Qilin in the Central Earth.
"Ahem, Little Qilin, come back."
Nestled in Green Pearlās arms, the Little Qilin couldnāt wait any longer and instantly teleported back to Jiang Fanās shoulder.
The fluffy little head nuzzled his face.
"Master, I thought Iād never see you again."
Jiang Fan retrieved the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin from its mouth and smiled, "Your master is blessed and could never die."
Master?
Green Pearl was stunned and somewhat bewildered.
The little Spirit Beast she encountered was Jiang Fanās Spiritual Pet?
Then why did it guide her to seek revenge on Jiang Fan?
She couldnāt help but start looking around and said, "Where is this place?"
The Great Wine Sacrifice said calmly, "Qintian Bureau."
Thump!
Green Pearl felt like her chest was hit hard, and her vision darkened.
Where?
The center of Taicang Great State?
Itās like a Human Clan member accidentally wandering into the Black Sun Royal Court, into the tent of a Five-Star Giant King.
She glanced at the Great Wine Sacrifice, who had a faint smile, and nervously swallowed: "Then you are?"
"The Great Wine Sacrifice."
Thump thump!
Green Pearl staggered slightly.
She had actually run right into the most dangerous person in Taicang Great State!
No wonder the little Spirit Beast brought her here.
It tricked her into walking into a trap!
Thinking of this, her chest was heavy, nearly spitting blood.
In the Heavenly Realm, she was tricked by Jiang Fan.
In the Lower Realm, she was tricked by Jiang Fanās little Spirit Beast.
She trembled, pointing at Jiang Fan and the Little Qilin, her teeth nearly grinding to dust:
"You two shameless master and pet!"
The Little Qilin raised its paw, pointing at Jiang Fan and said:
"But I did bring you to Jiang Fan."
Green Pearlās chest heaved with rage: "You... I..."
She was left speechless.
Fine, now was not the time to fuss over those two cheaters.
She should be thinking about how to save herself!
Her eyes flickered, and she said:
"Great Wine Sacrifice, to be honest, Iām here on behalf of the Five-Star Giant King to negotiate with your Taicang Great State."
Who canāt lie?
If Jiang Fan can escape the Five-Star Giant King, then Green Pearl can escape the Great Wine Sacrifice!
Hmph!
Jiang Fan revealed a playful expression and said, "Negotiate what, tell us?"
Green Pearlās jewel-like eyes turned, and she said: "Itās about Wang Chongxiao!"
"Return the weapons and equipment you took from the arsenal, and we will release Wang Chongxiao!"
