Chapter 163 - 154: Why Not Xu Li; Why Not Jing Wen 2
Seeing there was a sudden intruder, Jing Wen was alarmed, "WHO ARE YOU?!"
However, the one was questioning Xie Lian wasn't actually a 'man', but an extremely coarsely made stone statue of a man, its body bare but wrapped full of cloths, somehow bizarre and at the same time silly.
No wonder there was no sound of footsteps when he walked but an odd thumping sound; no wonder when Pei Ming and Ling Wen saw him they were both stunned; and no wonder Pei Ming said Ling Wen was talking shit with eyes wide open. Because, this thing looked nothing like a female ghost from head to toe.
Pei Ming and Ling Wen were both wrapped all over by a scroll-like material, tightly bound in Jing Wen's hands, unable to move. Xie Lian finally snapped out of it, "???Me???"
However, Jing Wen said, "You're the Crown Prince of XianLe?"
Xie Lian was taken aback, "Huh? You actually recognize me? Well that truly is..."
But, it wasn't strange. When Xie Lian first ascended, it was an earth-shattering ordeal. He might not know every heavenly official of the Upper Court, but every heavenly official of the Upper Court knew him. Just like now, he completely did not remember how Jing Wen looked like, but Jing Wen still remembered him, "Of course. Your Highness' journey of godhood experienced such ups and downs, it'd be difficult not to recognize you!"
Xie Lian was weirdly touched and subconsciously replied, "I'm honoured, I'm honoured... But, how did you become..."
"How did I become this form?" Jing Wen finished for him.
Xie Lian cleared his throat softly and nodded, feeling like his question was a bit impolite. However, Jing Wen used this chance to set off, "ISN'T IT ALL THANKS TO THAT BITCH NANGONG JIE! After the Palace of Jing Wen declined, my spiritual powers became weaker and weaker, and she'd add insult to injury, coming after me to try and kill me. I've no other choice but to possess this stone statue in order to survive til now!"
"Compared to you I'm not that bad." Ling Wen said, "You'd personally order me to stay in the Palace of Jing Wen until midnight, then turn around and say I shamelessly hang around til late to harass you. Words murder without form; I've been much nicer responding with blatant violence."
