Chapter 124 I remember that time, you were not
When they reached the corridor, Lingyan felt that it was enough and this man could not be allowed to enter the palace, so she called for the puppet maid to serve tea.
Lan Ning gently patted Ling Yan's hand and said, "Sit down, we are not outsiders."
Mo He didn't care too much about it. In fact, he had wanted to have a chat with Lan Ning like this for a long time, but the men around her were too cautious, so he never had the time.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lan Ning was calm. She looked at the man who sat down steadily, and a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Mo He picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. He seemed distressed. "We have met many times. So I am sure you are not a god. When did you become a god?"
"I have been confused for a long time, so I want to get an answer before I make any plans."
Lan Ning looked at him quietly. To be honest, it really takes a lot of courage to sit down and talk with someone who might be the biggest villain.
"Where's Lan Ji?" Lan Ning asked, "Or do you think you are qualified to talk to me about this face to face?"
Hearing that familiar name, the gentleness on Mo He's face froze for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his emotions.
He lowered his eyes to look at the tea on the table, and spoke after a long while, "She is dead."
died?
Lan Ning's eyebrows jumped. "When did he die?"
The smile on Mo He's face grew, "The day you were born."
About twenty years ago...
Lan Ning has no memory of her birth, but when someone mentioned it to her, she seemed to have found a very vague memory from her vast memory.
A woman was holding her newborn baby tenderly, and then...many spiders slowly crawled onto her body, and she turned into bones amidst her heart-wrenching screams.
Lanning couldn't help but shudder.
"You killed her?" Lan Ning couldn't see the woman's face, but she recognized those densely packed spiders.
Mo He nodded, "Yes."
If what Mo He said was true, then the Ancient Beast Tribe had a new leader after Lan Ji died. Lan Ning narrowed her eyes. It seemed that the affairs of the Ancient Beast Tribe were much more complicated than she had expected.
"So what do you want to talk about when you come to see me? Are you just catching up?" Lan Ning lowered his guard and smiled. "Or have you fallen in love with Furou and want to help her kill me?"
Mo He stared at Lan Ning quietly. He shook his head and said, "I won't kill you, but I don't want you to stop our plan either."
He did not admit that he fell in love with Furou, he just hoped not to become an enemy of Lan Ning.
They are just mortals, how can they be better than gods?
Lan Ning paused, "I'm just curious now. Lan Ji is dead. What is your purpose? Isn't it better to hide in the world of beasts?"
The ancient beast tribe is small to begin with, and they have been living among ordinary beast tribes for hundreds of years. Perhaps they have grown liking this ordinary life and don't want to rebel anymore?
But looking at Mo He's illusory smile, she felt that things were not that simple.
If they really didn't want to follow Lan Ji's plan twenty years ago, they could have simply withdrawn from Wanjing. Now they are very active in Wanjing and don't seem to have given up the plan at all.
Or do they just want to change their leader?
"We want the ancient beast tribe to live in the light again." Mo He said calmly, "You know, after what we have experienced, we are not so greedy now. We just want to have a place in the vast land."
That's all?
Lan Ning smiled and said, "If that were the case, you wouldn't have killed Lan Ji, and you wouldn't have allowed Fu Rou to harm the heir to the Wan Jing throne. For you, the more chips you have, the smoother things will go, right?"
The gentleness in Mo He's eyes faded a little, and he looked at Lan Ning thoughtfully, "You think very differently from me. You are much more perceptive than Fu Rou in this matter."
There's no use praising her.
Lan Ning snorted, "So tell me, what are you trying to do with all this effort?"
Mo He's eyes were burning. He threw the teacup on the table into the pond. "Lan Ji said that she wanted to restore the honor of the ancient beast tribe. She was willing to hide in Wanjing for two hundred years. We, the children born by her, must obey her unconditionally."
"She is a lunatic. The most she said to us was how prosperous the ancient beast tribe was. But in our eyes, those illusory things were just illusions, not even comparable to the magnificent scenery at that time."
"She would kill disobedient children and threaten us with death. She hoped that we could help her revive the ancient beast tribe, but she should never have killed our only father who was kind to us."
"I couldn't bear it anymore and killed her, then returned to the Spider Tribe. After a lot of trials and tribulations, I was found by other members of the Ancient Beast Tribe. They asked me about Lan Ji's whereabouts and forced me to join them to revitalize the Ancient Beast Tribe."
Mo He smiled and said, "I've thought about it for a long time. I feel that no matter which beast tribe it is, it's extremely annoying. I don't want to submit to the current beast tribe, nor do I want to become an ancient beast tribe."
Lanning understood, "You want to create a new beast race yourself."
Mo He nodded, "Yes."
Whether it is the ancient beast tribe or the modern beast tribe, the joy they described is illusory to Mo He and he cannot experience it.
So he decided to just kill them all, then maybe no one would bother him anymore.
Proclaim yourself king.
Lan Ning has heard of this topic countless times, and even she herself is planning to become king!
If Mo He's dream came true, wouldn't her mission fail?
Lan Ning yawned. She looked at Mo He expressionlessly. Thinking of what happened in and outside the palace recently, her beautiful eyes darkened. "You have a big appetite. Are you ready now? When do you plan to start?"
Mo He didn't expect Lan Ning to be so calm. Looking at the fish next to her, he wanted to kill him with his eyes.
I heard that the princess' biggest dream in life was to kill Fu Rou, but ever since he guessed her identity, Mo He felt that what she said to outsiders was not true.
What is Lanning's purpose?
Mo He still couldn't think of it. To kill Fu Rou? She had never taken any action. With her current status, she could completely withstand the remarks of those court officials. But if she was interested in Empress Wan Jing, she had not expressed her specific desire for the throne.
She was more like playing.
Should we say that because we are gods, we have no desire for that position?
Mo He stared at Lan Ning for a long time. "I came here today to ask Your Highness, what is your purpose? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Lan Ning was a little surprised. "My purpose? You will help me no matter what it is?"
She was so frank that Mo He didn't know what to say, but the words were already said, and it wouldn't be good to go back on them, right?
Mo He was silent for a long time, "You can speak first." Then consider whether to help after careful consideration.
Lan Ning tilted her head to look at him. She smiled and said, "I have no control over your plans, but don't hurt my people. If they get hurt, I can't guarantee what I will do."
Just this?
Mo He's expression couldn't help but become conflicted.
