The Eldest Princess walked away with a face as cold as frost.
ng Yu did not indulge her, nor did he offer her any comforting words.
She felt there was a problem with ng Yu's character, but she did not understand that they were lambs in his hands now. What he gave, they could take; what he didn't give...sorry, had they forgotten the scenes of them repeatedly trying to kill him?
"Cough, cough."
Bai Hu humd twice from the side.
During this period, ng Yu had a good relationship with Bai Hu and deeply understood why it was said that among the Fox Clan's seven tails, Bai Hu was the best.
In this world, there are always so real fools, or rather, so who are quite naive.
Bai Qianqian stayed in the Moon-Watching Sect, focused on gardening and was timid and cowardly, while Bai Hu was... well, according to the information Bai Qianqian provided to ng Yu, the Fox Clan was also one of the pets of humans back then, and Bai Hu had officially beco one of the human partners, except that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox of the Nine Great Divine Beasts had long disappeared, leaving only legends behind.
"Ah Yu, there's sothing I don't know whether I should say."
Bai Hu witnessed the Eldest Princess's departure, seeing her distressed, depressed, spiteful, and almost collapsing expression.
During this period, she also understood how the beauties of the Eternal Night Palace corrupted ng Yu.
Superiors often tempt those below with a promise, inciting them to strive to death, but when it cos ti to fulfill that promise, they just tease them.
It could be said that if not for the Ascension List, having just killed ng Yu would have been absolutely preferable for the Eldest Princess, even if it ant perishing together with him.
"It was you who actively approached, what does it have to do with ?"
"What I promised won't change, but please get it clear, you're dreaming if you expect to guarantee anything?"
"Should I send Hua Miaochai or Bu Shixian to accompany you as hostages and leave together, and you guarantee not to harm them, and then we can talk? Use your brains, are you even worthy?"
"Understand, I can cancel the promise at any ti and launch a direct attack, then you'll gain nothing!"
"What, are you so angry that you clenched your fists, wanting to hit soone? Co on, dare you tear off the mask?"
All along in the negotiations, ng Yu gave them the impression of being easy to talk to, including tolerating them and not wanting to resort to violence.
This was not just a misjudgnt, as many of them, including those best at understanding n or skilled in secret techniques, concluded from their close contact with ng Yu.
Yet, who would have thought that in the end, when ng Yu's army suddenly accelerated towards the Eternal Night Palace Mountain Gate, ng Yu unexpectedly turned hostile!
Yesterday a beautiful lover, today as cold as ice; yesterday speaking softly, today handling matters officially. The difference lay in the fact that ng Yu's army had reached the Eternal Night Palace!
"Ah Yu, actually, I know you hate those people in the Eternal Night Palace a lot. They hunted you down ruthlessly, but what you are doing now is a bit too much."
In Cool Breeze Mountain, ng Yu helped Bai Hu a lot and concealed the existence of the Fox Clan, leading Bai Hu to consider ng Yu as a friend.
"Ah?"
"There are so things that are best not done."
Bai Hu sat next to ng Yu, whispering like an elder sister.
From the beginning, Bai Hu's strategists believed that the subsidies ng Yu promised privately were completely deceptive because ultimately there were too many, and ng Yu was so poor that he had to sell off the Eternal Night Palace. How could he possibly give those won so much resource?
ng Yu was a very good partner but also had a ruthless and cunning side. For him, winning was all that mattered.
Defaulting on debts was easy. All he needed was a victory, then any excuse would do, such as claiming they were preparing to riot, their people had bad attitudes, they moved their left foot first, etc.
Bai Hu hadn't said anything about this, but today, she felt the need to talk to ng Yu.
It was not because of a womanly compassion but because she hoped ng Yu could go further.
As a weaker group, the Fox Clan had experienced too many betrayals and broken promises. When she t ng Yu, she thought he was a good person, soone she could rely on, especially after talking with Hu Qingquan, she was even more relieved.
"Ah Yu, sister has lived so many years and experienced a lot of things. What you did today was a bit harsh."
"I understand, sister, what you an is that I was a bit too much, I shouldn't take advantage and then exterminate them completely."
ng Yu was not embarrassed; rather, he looked interestedly at Bai Hu.
Good advice is harsh to the ear, but it's truly beneficial, and during this period his silver dealings, True Monarch Shui Yue said nothing, but Bai Hu had tried to advise several tis, including today's advice.
"Yes, Ah Yu, because I talk about reason and keep promises, I've suffered a lot of losses, but because of this, I've also received a lot of help and made many friends.
You don't need to be so alienated from them; they can't see the situation clearly and think about being more secure, which is their foolishness. You are right; this ti you should definitely refuse, but you don't need to pressure them this way."
Bai Hu's advisors had suggested seven or eight different ways of interacting with ng Yu, but she felt that being honest with each other was best.
Just as she prepared to discuss more reasoning, even expressing that if there really was a need to protect soone, she could provide and so forth.
Then, ng Yu looked at her.
"Auntie, how old are you?"
"Four hundred and twenty-nine years old."
She proudly puffed up her chest, having persisted through many hardships to reach this point, she had rich life experiences and could guide ng Yu.
