Chapter 123: What Kind of Hostage is This?

  She definitely wouldn't have anticipated something like this would happen, after all it's been over a hundred years since she was last locked in here...... Can this only be considered one of her pranks?

  If this place continues to be abandoned, the things in Jiǔ Mìng's hands will never appear again. Her ability can keep something forever if she wants to, even if someone is locked up and tries to find it, the chances are slim to none, but now it's been messed up by Jiǔ Mìng out of boredom!

  "Hand over what's in your hand, and I'll let you leave the Lunar City!!" The thing in Jiǔ Mìng's hand was the greatest taboo of the Lunar City, a forbidden medicine that couldn't be made without the Moon Princess's ability. Because of her, she and her sister's teacher had betrayed the Moon.

  Mian Yue Yi Ji basically gritted her teeth and said this.

  "This thing seems to be quite something!"

  The gaze of the nine lives flickered slightly, this thing is ownerless, and Meng Yue Yijun, who had been paying attention to him, felt a sense of unease, quickly opening the prison door, almost rushing to the front of Jiu Ming in an instant, still one step too late.

  Penglai's Medicine

  [Type: Consumable]

  Eternal Attribute

  Quality: None

  Usage count: 1

  Note: This is a medicine that can make your physical body immortal after consumption, as long as your spirit is strong enough, you'll be more Wolverine than Wolverine! In some sense, this is also equivalent to a curse of time... Your body will forever remain in the state it was when you took the medicine.

  "……How formidable!" Looking at the effect written on the sealed card in his hand, Jiǔ Mìng was stunned for a long time. The realm of immortality where the physical body does not die? Is this another kind of incredibly powerful immortality? If one's spirit is strong enough to be resilient, then it's truly immortality!

  Well, this thing called spirit, the more you experience it, the stronger and tougher it becomes. So, does that mean eating this stuff will make you live a longer and stronger life?

  As for the curse of time, 99% of people will ignore it. Giving up is stupid, as long as you can live forever, are you afraid that your life will be boring? Maybe...

  "Hand it over!!" The knife was placed on Jiuling's neck, and Mianyue Yiji said in a cold tone. "You shouldn't possess this forbidden thing!!"

  "Hmm, let's make a deal, wouldn't it be better if I kept this thing here? After all, I don't have a physical body, so eating it would be pointless." His finger pressed against the blade of the knife that was held to his neck, Jiǔ Mìng chuckled lightly, "How about I keep it as a memento?"

  "...Mian Yue Yi Ji stared at Jiu Ming in extreme shock, the medicine of Penglai was absolutely not something he should know about, but he seemed to be very clear!?"

  She took a quick glance at the card in Jiǔ Mìng's hand, and her expression changed again. On it was an introduction to the Penglai medicine. The format was a bit strange, but it didn't matter. Wolverine, who was also supposed to be an immortal being, had the ability to turn objects into cards. Could he also perform this kind of bizarre appraisal?

  "Don't think about taking it away suddenly." As soon as the voice of Jiuming fell, the knife that was pressed against his neck immediately withdrew, including the sealed card in his hand.

  "Hmm... You shouldn't be holding onto something like this, I'll take it away...!?"

  Mian Yue Yi Ji stared at the disappearing storage card in her hand, stunned. Jiu Ming sat on one side, smiling and holding the storage card with two fingers, "Actually, I'm still a businessman. Although not doing proper business, but when encountering a favorite product, I'm willing to work hard to get it."

  "If this thing gets out, no one can protect you." Mian Yue Yi Ji glared at Jiu Ming with a fierce gaze, seeing that he had a way to retrieve the card, she temporarily gave up on her idea of taking it back.

  Jiǔ Mìng's heart also let out a slight sigh of relief. If earlier, Mián Yuè Yī Jí had snatched the sealed card from his hand and quickly pulled away, he would have been left staring blankly after her.

  Is this thing left behind by the Moon Princess who was once locked up here?

  What a generous princess, the Nine Lives temporarily gave an unknown princess a positioning, to know that if this thing leaks out, in his previous world, it's not certain whether it can trigger a World War?

  Damn it! As long as I can live forever, what's the point of caring about so many things?!

  "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for handing this thing over?"

  "Hmm, this one." Jiǔ Mìng hesitated for a moment. When it comes to good things, everyone has a certain collecting mentality. Even if they can't use them, it's okay to just take a look, right?

  "Otherwise, it's you..."

  Damn! Nine lives stared at the blade that suddenly appeared on his neck again, hey, he hadn't even finished speaking yet! Being held at knife point for the third or fourth time, did they really think he had no temper?

  "Killing you will make this thing disappear too!"

  "I haven't tried beheading myself, but I probably won't die, how about you?"

  "This weapon..." The chill on her neck made Meng Yueyi, whose face was already pale, lower her head slightly. Looking at the palm of Jiuxing's 'virtual grasp' and the sensation on her neck, she immediately knew what kind of weapon Jiuxing was holding. It was careless, this weapon was originally very secretive, if one wasn't careful, they wouldn't have discovered it...

  "Right, there's also a strong anesthetic on this one, I've kept it well, so it should still be effective now." Jiǔ Mìng said calmly, but in his heart, he wasn't sure if the beheading would kill him or not. Even with his special physique, shouldn't he still die? They say he's immortal... hmm, cutting off half should be fine, probably won't die.

  "This condition is unacceptable! You're a despicable person!" Meng Yue Yijie glared fiercely at Jiu Ming, "Believe it or not, if I spread the word about this, you'll be sent to the execution ground tomorrow!"

  "Did I have time to eat this thing before? Who knows what kind of subtle situation would happen if a ghost eats it, but I've got perfect digestion!"

  The fruit pits all over the ground serve as the best proof.

  Meng Yue Yi Ji hesitated, the physique of nine lives was already troublesome enough, if another undying buff came, the result left to him would be at most imprisonment in the Moon Capital, and she also had a premonition with her own sister, imprisoning him was useless!

  "On a different condition!"

  "...tugged at the corner of his mouth, it was clearly you who didn't let others finish speaking and misunderstood something, okay?"

  "What happened to Ba Yunzi and the others?"

  "Alright, but you're not going anywhere! Someone has to take responsibility for their crimes."

  "Hmm... okay..." Just as Jiǔ Mìng nodded, the entire cell shook violently, and Mián Yuè Yī Jī's blade trembled. Jiǔ Mìng's expression turned deeply painful, but fortunately, it had only cut in less than a centimeter.

  Mian Yue Yi's face flashed with a momentary entanglement, and the skin on her neck seemed to have been peeled off. What did Jiū Mìng say earlier? This small dagger has a powerful unknown anesthetic?

  How many great masters have been brought down by poison? Meng Yue Yi is also human, a powerful being who can easily slaughter tens of thousands of armies without breaking a sweat, yet she is still human, a living thing. The poison on this dagger is something that even the Nine Lives can sense as abnormal, let alone her.

  Now a rapid-spreading numbness was transmitted from her neck, and in an extremely short time it spread throughout her body. The shock came too suddenly, and the amplitude was still very large. Neither of them had expected such a thing to happen.

  "Despicable... Don't touch me!" As she spoke, her tongue felt numb and her whole body was weak, wanting to lean to one side. Her strength was less than a hundredth of what it originally was. Seeing Jiǔ Mìng trying to support her, Mián Yuè Yī Jí glared at him, "I can walk!"

  "Alright!" The anesthetic was indeed very potent, and Jiǔ Mìng unconsciously revealed a subtle, faint smile. Even the lingering pain on his neck from the previous injury had eased significantly. Seeing this, Miǎo Yuè Yī Jī's heart skipped a beat as she tapped her palm anxiously. Maintaining his smile, Jiǔ Mìng said to her, "I've suddenly changed my mind; how about being a hostage for me?"

  "Go to hell!!" Mutsuki Ikki, with a face full of sorrow and indignation, swung her sword down at Konomi no Ichizoku, but her current abilities were even more crippled than his. The two iron rings on her hands suppressed ninety percent of her power, while Mutsuki's combat strength was less than one percent...

  So, the weak attack was easily dodged by him, but it seemed that both of them had overlooked something, just like that sudden intense shock.

  "How did you end up here..." The moon rabbit in the ruins lifted its head, looking at the tall and slender figure with difficulty, and said, slightly tilting its head. The green-haired girl's red eyes looked at the moon rabbit, her heart skipping a beat.

  "Some people say there are strong ones here." Her tone was neither excited nor disappointed, feeling that the battles in this place were not as good as those on Earth... Battles that couldn't kill people, what kind of battles were those? It could only be said that the protection mechanisms for personal safety in the martial arts halls of the Moon Capital were too good.

  On the street, a big slaughter... Ah, good fight but not cruel and inhumane.

  "The strong... uh, now both of them are cripples." Not to mention what a huge crime it is to kidnap the Lunar Princess, but anyway, thinking about it now, Jiuxing saw the green-haired girl walking towards him with not a speck of dust on her, and he wasn't calm anymore.

  "You damned bastard, let me go!!" The normally composed Mitsuki Yayoi was now furiously shouting after being subdued by Kurenai. Kurenai wasn't quite sure why she was so angry, was it really just a matter of pride? Well, I'll be more considerate next time, maybe change the way I do things outside.

  "Really?" The green-haired girl's calm inquiry made the atmosphere turn cold, and Mutsuki Ikki also temporarily calmed down from her enraged state. The atmosphere was a bit off!

  Damn it, why did this have to happen at a time like this...

  "Ah ha, truly worthy of being called the Tyrant of Flowers! This powerful defense has been shattered."

  Just as he was worried, another familiar figure emerged in front of his eyes, and he knew him.

  Rumiya!

  "Both are crippled." The smile on her face, tsk, do you want to take advantage of someone's misfortune? No, no, no, Jiuling saw more deliberate revenge in her eyes.

  "What's the price of provoking me? Are you prepared to try?" Rumia walked towards Kurenai, but was stopped by the green-haired girl.

  "What's wrong? Who provoked you? Won't be... holding a grudge?"
