Chapter 711

Calculations (3)

“Like what I mentioned earlier, you cannot fathom his abilities!” said the Vermilion Bird Emperor . “Ye Lang, you’ve helped us a lot this time . If there’s anything you want, just tell me . ”

At this moment, the emperor was utterly disappointed . Or perhaps he’d always been disappointed, this was just a confirmation .

“What do I want? Right, I am lacking some things . Let me into the national reserves these few days, I’ll check if you have it,” said Ye Lang shamelessly .

The national reserves? There were many valuable items in there after so many years . Everyone knew that no ordinary person could enter . At the same time, no ordinary person would even think of it .

Ye Lang was very shameless to demand such a thing!

“ . . . Kid, you’re a shameless one indeed! Fine, you can pick something but don’t overdo it . You can have whatever you want!” The emperor shook his head helplessly . Ye Lang had indeed helped them and he’d already promised .

At the same time, he realised he’d never offered Ye Lang anything after his previous help . He could just reward him this time .

“Hmmph! Do you think this ends here? Let me tell you this, it isn’t over yet!” declared Ximen Qing’s father . He clenched his teeth at the thought of such casual conversation between Ye Lang and the emperor .

He looked like he had a backup plan?

“Let me tell you this . We had already anticipated this plan to fail so we have a second plan . We will all die together! The people outside will execute my plan soon, hahaha—-” Ximen Qing’s father let out hysterical laughter . Everyone realised this matter was not as simple as they thought .

“What did you do?” Princess Longji frowned . This problem was going to be more troublesome .

“Haha, let me tell you this . Half an hour ago, we activated the alchemy formations here that will blow up the entire palace! We spent decades preparing for this moment!”

“ . . . ”

Everyone fell silent .

The three major clans had prepared this for decades . Princess Longji and the rest hadn’t expected this . They paled, ready to escape .

At this moment, no one doubted him . If it weren’t true, what was the point of him saying that? The Ximen clan wouldn’t waste their time .

“It’ll be useless! You don’t have time! I am only telling you this now so that you won’t have time to run . We were supposed to retreat before this too!”

It was a suicide bomb . If their plan failed, they knew they would burden their entire clan . Might as well die together with the enemy .

As long as they all died, then their other clan members outside could still reap the rewards!

“Go!”

Everyone started to evacuate but someone noticed Ye Lang was spacing out .

It was normal because he was always so clueless .

Though he could sometimes be surprising too!

“Ye Lang…”

“What!” answered Ye Lang, like he’d just woken up .

“What are you doing! Run!” Princess Longji and the rest quickly came to Ye Lang, prepared to carry him .

“Ah! I remember! You all don’t have to run!” yelled Ye Lang loudly . Princess Longji stopped . Everyone looked at him .

“Oh yeah, we have this guy . Staying with this guy will be very safe! He’s an alchemy genius, he knows how to generate his legendary defensive alchemy formations . ”

Everyone’s eyes brightened, approaching him because they remembered his Water Moon Mirror . He had the ultimate defence .

Under such circumstances, they weren’t likely to make it out . However, they could definitely live under his protection .

“Ye Lang, use your defensive alchemy formation now!” yelled the seventh princess immediately .

“Why? That’s unnecessary!” Ye Lang shook his head .

“What? They’re not joking, they don’t need too . Look at them, they’re not moving . They’re all waiting to die . ” Princess Longji pointed at the three clans . They looked like they were accepting death .

“When is your thing going to explode?” asked Ye lang with a grin .

“Now!” The three clans replied, stunned .

“What is ‘now’?” Ye Lang asked, still smiling .

“It should be… Just now? Wait, what’s going on? Was there a mistake in the alchemy formation?” Ximen Qing’s father had the schedule, he realised the place should’ve exploded a few seconds ago .

“Let’s wait a bit then . Maybe it’s just a little slow!” Ye Lang chuckled .

“Yeah…”

Everyone calmed down in this awkward situation . They weren’t ordinary folks . They sensed that something had changed . The explosion wouldn’t happen .

Time passed . In the end, there was no explosion .

“What happened? Did we make a mistake? No way, we were so careful!”

“Alright, cousin, time to catch them all and chop off their heads! It’s time for my performance!” Ye Lang chuckled .

“?? Little troublemaker, what just happened?” asked Princess Longji . Everyone also wanted to ask him . There was a sudden threat but it disappeared just as abruptly .

“I was roasting chicken wings in the palace gardens a few days ago, remember? I noticed something, which was an alchemy formation that could destroy the entire palace . Since I was bored, I helped deactivate it for you . That’s why there was so much smoke! You don’t have to thank me…” said Ye Lang .

“ . . . ”

Everyone fell silent . They didn’t know something like this could happen .

“Why didn’t you tell us!!”

“I wanted to, but I was interrupted and forgot… I just remembered!”

“ . . . ”

“You little jerk, I feel like killing you!”
