Monster, come to my bowl

Chapter 197 Internship Queen

When Cai Ji heard what the queen said, he couldn't help but secretly criticize her.

I've come all the way to protect you!

But you gave me a look as soon as you came up!

This is too arrogant!

In this case, we cannot use normal methods to persuade the other party to give up the risk.

Magic must be defeated with magic!

Cai Ji thought for a moment and said tactfully: "Your Majesty's courage is admirable! But if we want to go to war with the Ancient Demon Emperor, this is definitely not the best choice. If the Holy City is destroyed, even if we win, it will be a loss."

"Manager Cai, do you have any suggestions?" Xiao Tong nodded and asked modestly.

"Let's put it this way! If the Western Emperor dares to come, I will drive him away! You just sit here and wait for news. There is no need to put yourself in danger." Cai Ji answered proudly with an attitude of taking on a big responsibility.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen became unhappy on the spot.

"I'll sit here and wait for your news? Manager Cai, do you look down on me or on women?" Xiao Tong narrowed his eyes and asked with a bad expression.

“No, no, no!” Cai Ji waved his hands and said seriously, “I don’t look down on women, I look down on you! Your Majesty’s cultivation is only at the middle stage of the first rank, right? This level of cultivation is far behind that of the ancient demon emperor. Even if you are willing to fight to the death, you can’t change the overall situation.”

Xiao Tong was so angry that her teeth itched, and she angrily asked on the spot: "How dare you humiliate this king?"

"No, no, no! I'm not trying to humiliate you. I'm just stating the facts!" Cai Ji shook his head repeatedly and continued, "You haven't seen the Ancient Demon Emperor, so you don't know how powerful he is..."

"Have you seen it?" Xiao Tong interrupted him.

"Yes! It glared at me and I stayed in bed for half a month." Cai Ji answered honestly.

Phew!

When the grassland queen heard this, she laughed on the spot.

She looked at Cai Ji again for a moment, and said with a fake smile: "Shopkeeper Cai, Wang Dasi Ming has always said that you are an almighty hermit. After meeting you today, I find that your reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Cai Ji knew that the queen was mocking him, so he asked directly: "Do you think I'm bragging?"

"No, I think you treat me like a three-year-old child!" Xiao Tong complained bluntly.

“Alas… your kindness is taken for granted.” Cai Ji sighed and said earnestly, “I am doing this for your own good, why don’t you appreciate it? The power of the Ancient Demon Emperor is really not something you can challenge! Not to mention, it can perform all kinds of magic…”

Whizzing!

Before he could finish his words, two figures suddenly fell from the sky.

One of them was a burly old man with white hair, and the other was an equally burly young man.

Cai Ji subconsciously sensed and was surprised to find that these two people were actually first-class masters.

The young man’s cultivation was not so good, only at the initial stage of the first rank.

But the white-haired old man was actually in the late first grade.

What Cai Ji didn't know was that the old man in front of him was not only in the late first grade, but also the previous Great Sima of Beizhou, the real king of the grassland, Xiao Hongtu!

"Great grandfather!" Xiao Tong saw the two people landing beside him and bowed to the old man respectfully.

Xiao Hongtu waved his hands and said, "Ah Tong, your distinguished guest has come from afar. You didn't invite him to the main hall for a drink, but you are standing here chatting with him. This is impolite!"

After that, he politely bowed to Cai Ji and said, "I am Xiao Hongtu, you must be the shopkeeper Cai that Wang Dasiming mentioned! Nice to meet you! How about we go to the main hall and sit down and chat while drinking?"

Xiao Hongtu?

The previous Great God of Destiny of Beizhou?

Cai Ji's heart moved, and he quickly returned the greeting: "Senior, you are too polite. Please go first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tong on the side started to complain.

The young grassland queen glanced at Cai Ji and said to the white-haired old man, "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to invite him to drink, it's that he is too arrogant and looks down on everyone."

"Why are you so arrogant?" Xiao Hongtu was stunned and asked with a smile.

"He said that I was too weak and not qualified to fight against the Ancient Demon Emperor! He also said that if the Ancient Demon Emperor dared to come, he could drive him away by himself." Xiao Tong answered concisely.

When Xiao Hongtu heard this, he looked a little surprised.

Because as soon as he landed, he found that Cai Ji had the demeanor of a master.

why?

Because he couldn't see the depth of Cai Ji's cultivation!

In addition, this boy is good-looking and has a steady temperament. He doesn't look like the kind of person who likes to brag at all.

But how could such a person say such arrogant words?

"Manager Cai, can you really drive out the Ancient Demon Emperor?" the old man asked doubtfully.

"I'm not very confident, but I have no other choice." Cai Ji was complained by Xiao Tong, and explained speechlessly: "The difference between Xiao Da Siming's strength and the ancient Demon Emperor is indeed huge! Moreover, the Demon Emperor's goal is to capture her and interrogate her for intelligence, so for the sake of the overall situation, I took the initiative to ask her to stay in the Holy City and let me deal with the Demon Emperor."

"That makes sense!" Xiao Hongtu suddenly realized, and looked at Xiao Tong and said, "Ah Tong, are you angry? Do you think Manager Cai looks down on you?"

As the saying goes, no one knows a daughter better than her great-grandfather!

Mr. Xiao knew very well the character of the successor he was training.

"Hehe! That's not the case." Xiao Tong laughed dryly and said defensively, "It's mainly because Manager Cai speaks too...too straightforwardly, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

At the same time, Cai Ji also noticed something.

Only then did he understand why the Great God of Destiny in Beizhou was a young and beautiful girl.

This girl is just an intern!

The great grandfather Xiao Hongtu behind her is the real controller of Beizhou.

However, this is easy to understand.

The Benlang family has always been the only powerful family in Beizhou. When the person in power gets old, he will take the initiative to retire behind the scenes to train a successor. This is better than letting his descendants kill each other for the throne after he dies!

When Xiao Hongtu heard Xiao Tong's complaints, he scolded her rudely, "You stupid girl! You've only been the Grand Master of Destiny for a few years, and you already like to be flattered? Shopkeeper Cai is here to save your life, so what's wrong with speaking bluntly? Apologize to him now!"

When the young prairie queen heard this, her face immediately turned red.

She quietly rolled her eyes at Cai Ji and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

“No, no!” Cai Ji was a little amused and hurried to smooth things over, “There is no conflict between Xiao Da Siming and me! She felt that as the queen of the grassland, she couldn’t be a coward in front of monsters, so she was dissatisfied with my proposal.”

After hearing this, Xiao Tong's expression became much better.

"If that's the case, then it must be a misunderstanding." Seeing Cai Ji taking the initiative to give way, Xiao Hongtu nodded with satisfaction and immediately changed the subject with a smile: "Come on, let's go have a drink! If there's anything, we can discuss it while we drink."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the young strong man who had been silent all the time raised an objection again.

"Wait!" The young man raised his hand and said in a muffled voice, "Master, I want to duel with Shopkeeper Cai!"

It turned out that this young man was Xiao Hongtu's apprentice.

"Martial arts competition? Why?" Cai Ji scratched his head.

Why do all the young men and women on the grassland not play by the rules?

When guests come, instead of inviting them to sit down, you just keep finding fault!

"According to the rules of our grassland, whoever claims to protect someone is proposing marriage!" The young strong man looked at Cai Ji and said in a serious tone: "Since you claim to protect Her Majesty the Queen, you have to pass this test first! Let's see if you are qualified to be the prince consort of our Beizhou."
