C10

Thinking about that, Yan Xiaoxi's face immediately lit up. She patted the dust off her body, stood up and walked to Nangong Lin's side.

"Forty roasted chickens." She stretched out four fingers in front of Nangong Lin and looked at him with a smile.

The intelligent Nangong Lin immediately understood Yan Xiaoxi's meaning. He nodded and replied, "Speak, what's the exchange price?"

Yan Xiaoxi stretched out her palm and floated in the air, giving Nangong Lin a signal with her eyes.

"Linlin has to promise me first." Yan Xiaoxi definitely wouldn't do something like being a loser. If he listened to her words, what would he do if he went back on his word?

Yan Xiaoxi would never back down when it came to food.

"Pa!" A clapping sound could be heard from inside the cave.

With her goal achieved, Yan Xiaoxi excitedly smiled, pointed her slender finger at the door and said, "That place is so strange."

That's right, Yan Xiaoxi was referring to the five round holes on the gate.

Hearing that, Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi in surprise and immediately felt cheated.

This useless sentence was exchanged for forty roasted chickens. Presumably, only this woman could do such a thing.

"Woman, you are challenging This King's patience." Nangong Lin's face turned dark and his voice became cold.

Yan Xiaoxi was unperturbed. She was no longer afraid of Nangong Lin who was so cold. After getting along with him for a while, she knew what it meant for Nangong Lin to be angry, what expression he would have, and what he would do.

Thus, it was sufficient to judge that he was only scaring himself.

"Look." Yan Xiaoxi didn't want to keep up the suspense, so she took off the necklace from her neck and placed the round and plump pearl on the hole.

Surprisingly, the gap between the pearl and the round hole completely matched.

"Don't you think these pits can be filled with round stones?" Yan Xiaoxi had unintentionally discovered this, and felt that the marks on it were sufficient to place a pearl within. Thus, she took the pearl on her neck as a test.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Lin seemed to be inspired. His gaze moved left and right across the five circular pits.

In the end, he gave a conclusion: "Five Color Beads."

The five strange round holes on the door were the same size as the Five Color Beads, and the numbers were also the same.

If Nangong Lin was right, the Five Color Beads must be the key to this door.

"What is a Five Color Beads?" Yan Xiaoxi asked curiously once again.

There were five Five Color Beads s: gold, earth, water, fire, and earth. Four of them were in four different countries, while the remaining one had their whereabouts unknown.

In the past, Five Color Beads was presented as a treasure to the Immortal Spirit Island, but later, they were left among the common people for no reason, and eventually fell back into the Four Great Empires.

This time, Nangong Lin was worried again. Wanting to obtain the five colored beads was not a simple matter.

However, for the sake of the Hundred Spirit Pill, no matter if it was going up the mountain of blades or going down the sea of flames, he would gather all of the Five Color Beads and open the door.

"Woman, let's go."

"Where to?" Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin dumbly, not knowing what happened.

"Return to the manor." Golden Color Bead s were currently in the Nanshui Kingdom, so of the five pellets, Nangong Lin was the easiest to obtain.

"But you still haven't told me what a Five Color Beads is." Once Yan Xiaoxi's curiosity was aroused, she would not give up until she got her answer.

"This King will tell you on the way." Just like that, Nangong Lin and Yan Xiaoxi left the mountain through another exit.

When Yan Xiaoxi returned to the Prince Lin's Mansion, the first thing she did was to grab onto the medicine.

She personally went to the kitchen to fry the medicine for herself. After taking it, she poured the rest into a bowl and prepared to carry it to Nangong Lin.

"His Royal Highness ordered that no one was to enter." When they arrived at the study room, Yan Xiaoxi was stopped by a guard at the door.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to deliver medicine to Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi ignored the objections of her guards and barged in.

"I beg of you to cooperate with me, wangfei, and don't make things difficult for this servant." The guards had also done their duty, and they didn't intentionally keep Yan Xiaoxi out of the way.

Thinking back, there was a time when the Prince was in the study and told not to let anyone in, but the guard on duty saw that it was Miss Liu Zhixue. He let her in, but in the end was dealt with by the Prince.

After this incident, everyone knew that in front of the prince, there were no exceptions. As long as he gave an order, no one would be able to escape.

"You should cooperate with me. If you don't take the medicine, the poison in Wu Tie's body will take effect." Yan Xiaoxi counted the time and the pill's effect was over. Nangong Lin still had the poison in his body, once it entered his organs through his blood, it would be over.

When the guard saw Yan Xiaoxi's nervous expression, he was put in a difficult position as well.

"But wangfei, I dare not disobey the prince's orders." In the end, the guards still chose to obey Nangong Lin's orders.

"This is a child that cannot be taught." Yan Xiaoxi was about to go crazy from anger. With one hand holding the bowl and the other reaching into the bag at her waist, she quickly stuffed a pill into the guard's mouth.

Immediately, the guard stood still like a statue at the door.

"Princess, you can't go in there." Although his body could not move, the guard still tried to persuade him otherwise.

However, by the time he finished speaking, Yan Xiaoxi's delicate figure was no longer in front of him.

In the study room, Nangong Lin was sitting in front of a table. He looked majestic and meticulous as he read the incoming letters from the army. These days, he was no longer in the mansion and had many things to take care of.

Suddenly, he stopped waving the brush and looked towards the door.

His ears twitched, and in a moment he heard light footsteps.

"Didn't This King say that no one is allowed to enter?" Nangong Lin scolded him without raising his head.

Yan Xiaoxi was slightly stunned as she took the antidote and walked forward.

"Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi placed the bowl on the table and sat on the stool in the middle of the table.

"Woman, you are really bold to ignore This King's orders." Nangong Lin raised his head and looked at Yan Xiaoxi, who was eating the pastries.

When Yan Xiaoxi heard Nangong Lin's icy tone, she immediately felt wronged. She had hurriedly given him the medicine, but he had actually scolded her for no reason. This was too despicable.

She glared at Nangong Lin angrily, put down the pastries and walked away.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi's mood was extremely dejected. Even when she was eating delicious pastries, she found it hard to swallow.

"Hmph, I won't bother with you anymore." Yan Xiaoxi ran out in anger.

Nangong Lin looked at everything that was happening with his mouth agape. Shouldn't he be the one to be angry? Why was the situation reversed?

He picked up the pen again and was about to reply, but he was no longer focused.

Suddenly, his line of sight stopped at the bowl of black medicine in front of the table, and he said with a flash of understanding, "The antidote."
