Su Ying was almost crazed with anxiety, but now she beamed. It turns out that when Xiao Yu'er was in the most danger, he suddenly realized that the two Floral Princesses were exchanging moves in the distance as well. The moves they used, one attacking and the other defending, every move executed very slowly, as if they're afraid that others will not be able to take a good look.
No matter how stupid Xiao Yu'er is, he will know that they are teaching him martial arts. At this point in time, there's no way he can reject even if he wanted to.
He just off handedly executed one of Princess Yao Yue's move and it is indeed enough to startle Wei Wu Ya, and when Wei Wu Ya attacked, he used the moves executed by Princess Lian Xing to save himself. Without knowing why, after about ten over moves, Xiao Yu'er easily gained the upper hand.
By the time Wei Wu Ya noticed them, he is almost breathless from fighting with Xiao Yu'er. He cannot imagine why his own moves which are so strange, can be countered by such casual moves. But he did not know that these few moves from the Floral Palace, is not casual, but simplified. They have taken the essence of all the most complicated moves, and merged all the moves into a single one. After thirty over moves, Wei Wu Ya is beginning to weaken, running out of moves.
Who would have expected that right at this time, there was a sudden sound. This sound seems to have come from outside the cave, but the echo shook the whole cave. Xiao Yu'er was initially startled, which turned into joy. Wei Wu Ya's wheelchair has slid thirty feet away.
By now the sound kept coming in from the outside, and Princess Lian Xing's eyes can't help but reveal surprise and joy.
Wei Wu Ya said, "There's neither food nor water here. No matter how capable you are, you can only survive for another ten days at the most. By the time those people outside comes in, I'm afraid you'll be only a heap of bones."
Xiao Yu'er suddenly roared, "Since that is the cause, then we have no choice but to kill you?"
Wei Wu Ya replied, "That's right, kill me, and you can avoid embarrassing yourselves in front of me, but... isn't it a pity for you to kill me now. Why don't you follow me and see a few things first."
Xiao Yu'er took a glance at the Floral Princesses and said, "Fine, I will follow you, anyway I'm not afraid of you tricking me."
Wei Wu Ya said, "In front of the Floral Princesses and the world's smartest person, what other tricks do I have?" He wheeled his wheelchair down the underground passageway. The Floral Princesses followed behind him like shadows.
Wei Wu Ya went through a very narrow stone door. Could this stone door be the secret exit?
Xiao Yu'er hurried over but once he went in, he can't help but feel disappointed. Behind the stone door it's actually a six-sided stone room, with no other doors in it. The light in this stone room is especially dim, Xiao Yu'er seem to be able to see a stone coffin in front of him, and many stone statues in the distance. Xiao Yu'er can't help but ask, "What are all these stone statues?"
Wei Wu Ya giggled, "All these are my masterpieces, I'll go light the lamps so that you can see better." His laughter carried an indescribable feeling, once Xiao Yu'er heard this laughter, he knows that there must be something strange about these stone statues.
By now Wei Wu Ya has reached the stone wall and took out a flint, and lighted the ten over copper lamps placed in the niches on the walls.
By the time he lighted the fourth lamp, Xiao Yu'er was stunned.
All these stone statues were carved in the semblance of the Floral Princesses and Wei Wu Ya, and were almost the same size as the real person, separated into groups, the poses in each group different.
The first group looked as if the Floral Princesses were kneeling on the floor, tugging at the corners of Wei Wu Ya's clothes, begging him.
The second group of statues looked as if Wei Wu Ya was flogging them with a whip, the expression of pain on the Floral Princesses' face so detailed and lifelike.
The third group of statues look as if the Floral Princesses were flat on the ground, with Wei Wu Ya stepping on their chests, his hand holding a wine cup and drinking.
The later versions of the statues are not fit to be seen, but each statue was so life like and detailed.
Xiao Yu'er can't help but sigh, "I did not expect this madman to be such a genius."
The Floral Princesses were so furious that their bodies were shaking. Now they suddenly dashed forward and carried up a statue, throwing it into pieces.
All these solid stone statues, once in the hands of the Floral Princesses, became like paper. Several painstakingly crafted words became a pile of shattered stones in a blink.
Wei Wu Ya quietly witnessed the scene, not moving at all. Princess Lian Xing finally jumped in front of him and said furiously, "You beast, do you still think I will let you off this time?"
As she shouted, she has already grabbed Wei Wu Ya's collar and pulled him up from the wheelchair, throwing him heavily towards the stone wall.
There was a cracking sound and Wei Wu Ya actually shattered into pieces, but a person is made of blood and flesh, so how can he be 'shattered'?
Princess Lian Xing was stunned, and realized that this 'Wei Wu Ya' is carved from stone as well, just that it's wearing clothes.
No one knows when the real Wei Wu Ya had slipped away.
The only door in this stone room has been sealed, on four sides there are still walls, which are the walls of the mountain as well. The Floral Princesses threw such heavy statues at it but the walls did not even vibrate at all, so obviously it is extremely solid.
Su Ying was silent for a moment and said, "Since he has already trapped us, why did he want to lure us here then?"
Xiao Yu'er smiled bitterly, "There are too many reasons. Firstly, by keeping us here, he can move around freely, or even eat and drink. By the time we starve to death, he'll be able to leave. This plan he used, is called 'Fighting to stay alive in the face of death', a plan within a plan, the main purpose is to lure us here. All those words and things that was said and done outside, is all an act."
Su Ying lowered her head and quietly sighed. Xiao Yu'er continued with a bitter smile, "Now we're like a bunch of monkeys trapped in a cage, and can only perform tricks for him to see."
Su Ying can't think of what to say anymore, and after a while, Xiao Yu'er smiled and mumbled, "Even I cannot imagine what I would look like before I died, this would be quite interesting. I may very well eat you up, are you afraid?"
Su Ying said gently, "Then the two of us will forever be as one, why should I be afraid?"
Xiao Yu'er stared at her face for a long, long time before he sighed, "A pity that you're a little too smart, or else I may really like you."
Su Ying blushed and chewed on her lips, "I heard that once women gives birth, they become a little more stupid."
If it was any other time, Xiao Yu'er would certainly roar with laughter on hearing such words, but now he felt a wave of sweet tenderness floating in his heart, and with it an indescribable pain as well. He does not know what this feeling is, but only knows that he has never experienced such a feeling in his whole life.
Without knowing how much time has passed, Xiao Yu'er suddenly stood up and walked towards that jade green stone coffin and lifted the lid of the coffin, placing it in front of the coffin. He then piled the shattered stones on both sides of the coffin.
The Floral Princesses have no idea what he is doing, and the more the look, the more perplexed they are. Although they feel like asking him, but they hoped that Su Ying would ask him instead. However Su Ying's eyes were filled with love and tenderness, looking at Xiao Yu'er with a smile, not speaking at all, as if she understands his intentions.
Xiao Yu'er grinned and said, "Eat, drink, poop, pee and sleep, are the five things that a human must do. Although we don't have anything to eat and drink now, but what we ate previously would still have to come out. Since we can't make them stay in the stomach, or poop in our pants, so we can only use this method."
The Floral Princesses were so angry their faces reddened, but they were at a loss for words. Xiao Yu'er has piled the shattered stones on two sides of the coffin into a wall, and with the lid of the coffin, it really looks like a latrine. He clapped his hands and laughed, "I have always respected the elders, if the two of you would like to use it, please go ahead first." The Floral Princesses blushed and stamped their foot, turning their bodies around.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Su Ying and smiled, "What about you?"
Su Ying blushed as well, "I... I don't... don't feel like it now."
Xiao Yu'er smiled, "Since that is the case, I shall help myself." As he spoke, he had already wriggled in and after a while, walked out languidly, sighing and mumbling along the way, "Relief, relief, I'm afraid there's not many things in the world as relieving as this."
He walked back and sat down, closing his eyes, as if he's falling asleep. Su Ying finally could not take it and climbed up quietly, walking towards that side. Who would have expected that she had only started moving, Xiao Yu'er's left eye suddenly opened and he said with a grin, "You feel like it now?"
Su Ying blushed and pouted, "You're really a little bad egg."
Without knowing how much time has passed again, Princess Lian Xing's face slowly became red and swollen, and after a short moment, her legs seem to be shaking a little. The sound of Xiao Yu'er's breathing was low and steady, as if he is asleep. Princess Lian Xing suddenly floated over like the wind. Even when she was fighting with the most formidable opponent, her speed was not that fast. Who would have expected Xiao Yu'er to suddenly guffaw and said, "I'm afraid now you won't say that I'm rude, but will thank me instead."
By the time Xiao Yu'er stopped laughing, the Floral Princesses have also sat on the floor finally. Only two, three days has passed, but to all of them, it felt as if ten years have gone by. Right at this time, a hole the size of a ricebowl opened up on the ceiling, and something dropped down onto the floor from the hole. It's actually a pomelo.
Su Ying looked at this pomelo, her eyes wide. She never imagined that a pomelo can actually affect her so much, and taking a look at the Floral Princesses' eyes, they have also changed because of a pomelo. Princess Lian Xing stared at this pomelo, already standing up slowly.
Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly, "I did not imagine the haughty Floral Princess, would actually want to pick and eat something someone threw onto the floor, interesting, interesting." Princess Lian Xing's body suddenly stiffened, but her fingertips are shaking. However, her eyes are still staring at that pomelo unwaveringly.
Xiao Yu'er laughed, "But if I were to pick up food that others have thrown onto the floor and eat it up, no one would laugh at me, because my skin is almost as thick as a wall." As he spoke, he has already jumped up and took that pomelo.
Xiao Yu'er split the pomelo into halves, and the refreshingly fragrant juice spurted onto his face. He stuck his tongue out to lick and mumbled, "So sweet, so fragrant, it seems that having a thick skin is not such a bad thing after all." He suddenly turned around and smiled at Su Ying, adding, "But your skin has never been thin, so I should share this pomelo with you, right?"
Su Ying can't help but beam, and say gently, "Sometimes I really wonder, someone has the mouth of a rogue, but still has a kind heart."
Xiao Yu'er took a sniff at the remaining half of the pomelo and suddenly stood up to walk towards the Floral Princesses. He offered them the half pomelo with a grin and said, "This half is yours. I know you will surely not eat anything that others throw away, but this half a pomelo is given by me respectfully, you can rest assured and eat it." The Floral Princesses looked at each other, stunned.
After a moment, Princess Lian Xing can't help but ask, "You... why are you doing this?"
Xiao Yu'er was silent for a moment before saying slowly, "When a person is about to die but yet can maintain his own status and refuse to embarrass himself, even I would admire such a person."
Xiao Yu'er walked over with a grin, no smug look on his face at all, nor any sadness. He looked as if he'd just eaten a hundred pomelos and gave the half that he could not finish to others.
Su Ying split her half of the pomelo into two and said gently, "Since you have given me this half of the pomelo, it's mine, and naturally I want to share half with you."
Xiao Yu'er replied, "I don't want it. Because your half is bigger than mine, I want your half."
Su Ying chuckled, "If I have a child like you, he'll be the death of me."
