#158 - Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess (4000 words, two in one)

"Alright, you can leave us here. We'll take this little girl from here," the two chief stewards of the Black God Cult said to Qi Hui.

"Rest assured, this time you've definitely made a great contribution. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll become a chief steward of the main branch because of this little girl. We can work together then."

"Thank you, esteemed stewards," Qi Hui bowed.

"Keep up the good work. We have high hopes for you." The two stewards held Shen Sheng's hand.

"Awoo?"

Shen Sheng turned her head to look at Qi Hui, her eyes filled with confusion, not knowing where she was being taken or why Qi Hui wasn't coming along.

Qi Hui ignored Shen Sheng's gaze: "Please, both of you, take care."

Shen Sheng didn't know what was happening. Her little hand was tightly grasped by two strangers, who dragged her away.

As Shen Sheng was being dragged, she kept turning her head to look at Qi Hui.

"Awoo!"

When the two stewards of the Black God Cult had taken Shen Sheng ten meters away, Shen Sheng sensed something was wrong. She turned her head and bit down on the hand of one of the Black God Cult stewards.

"Hiss."

The Black God Cult steward released his hand in pain. Shen Sheng, with her short legs, ran towards Qi Hui.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

The Black God Cult steward drew a leather whip and lashed it fiercely at Shen Sheng.

"Awoo..."

Shen Sheng was struck and curled up into a ball on the ground, hugging herself tightly as the whip continued to fall.

Standing not far away, Qi Hui frowned deeply.

Just as the steward was about to bring the leather whip down again, his wrist was tightly gripped by Qi Hui.

The chief steward of the Black God Cult looked at Qi Hui: "What do you mean by this? Don't tell me you've developed feelings for this little thing you've been raising?"

Qi Hui smiled: "That's not it, but esteemed stewards, she's very precious. It wouldn't be good if she were damaged."

The Black God Cult steward shook off Qi Hui's hand: "We don't need you to interfere! This dog thing needs to be beaten a few times to be obedient. Don't worry, your contribution won't be for naught, we won't beat her to death."

Saying that, the Black God Cult steward raised the leather whip again and lashed it at Shen Sheng.

Whip after whip, Shen Sheng rolled and cried out on the ground.

Whip after whip.

Shen Sheng's skin was torn open by the whipping.

Shen Sheng tried to resist, spitting a black flame towards the steward, but Shen Sheng was only a few years old, and the black flame was easily neutralized by the steward, who beat her even harder.

Just as the Black God Cult steward was getting angrier and angrier, and was about to smash a rock at Shen Sheng's head again, his hand froze in mid-air.

Immediately after, he felt his vision spin, his head falling from his neck, his eyes facing the ground.

"Qi Hui! You!" The other Black God Cult steward was shocked.

But before he could finish speaking, Qi Hui pressed forward and struck him into a cloud of blood with a palm strike.

"Awoo?"

Shen Sheng timidly lowered her hands from her head, looking at Qi Hui with a fearful expression.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Qi Hui pulled Shen Sheng up and patted the dirt off her.

Shen Sheng looked left and right.

"Mmm." Shen Sheng nodded and took Qi Hui's big hand, walking towards the cave.

Qi Hui faked an accident for the two stewards, then reported to the main branch that he had discovered the bodies of the two stewards in the wild, and stated that he would definitely investigate the murderer.

The main branch did not pay much attention to the deaths of the two stewards.

For a demonic sect like the Black God Cult, which everyone shouted to kill, being killed by those famous orthodox sects from time to time was simply the most normal thing.

After that, even if there were stewards who came to inspect, Qi Hui hid Shen Sheng very well.

"Remember this." In the courtyard, Qi Hui calmly looked at the little girl in front of him, "Don't think that just because I saved you this time, I won't harm you. If one day I feel that selling you will bring great benefits, I won't hold back, do you understand?"

Shen Sheng tilted her head and looked at Qi Hui, then nodded as if she understood.

"If I die one day..."

Qi Hui's eyes were deep.

"Then you take your mother and leave this place, go as far as you can.

You must remember this even more.

In this world, no one can be trusted.

Except for your parents, anyone can betray you.

You can only rely on yourself."

In Xu Ming's vision, a little girl opened her mouth and kept biting the black dog.

This little girl had a pair of vertical pupils, which couldn't help but remind Xu Ming of the eyes of the Western dragons of Blue Star in his previous life.

She had two black horns growing on her forehead, which formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin.

The little girl was very young, looking no more than six or seven years old.

Compared to her porcelain doll-like cute appearance, it was the ferocity in her eyes, like a demonic beast.

The big black dog was also startled by the sudden bite of the little girl.

The main reason was that the big black dog was hurt by the little girl's bite.

He was a great demon in the Jade Purity Realm, and even Xu Ming's full-strength punches could only make him feel ticklish.

But this little girl was actually able to make him feel pain.

This showed that this little girl was indeed quite extraordinary.

The big black dog picked up the little girl by the back of her collar with his dog paw.

The little girl bared her teeth and claws, waving her limbs non-stop, trying to bite the big black dog.

"Are you a human, a demon, or a magical beast?"

The big black dog looked at the little girl curiously, he smelled the scent of humans and magical beasts.

"Awoo!"

The little girl opened her mouth and roared.

"Forget it, take her away. Take her back and let the Prime Minister take a good look." Although the big black dog didn't know which species this little girl belonged to, it was never wrong to leave her alive.

"Eh?"

Just as the big black dog was about to tie up the entire little girl with a rope, the big black dog was stunned for a moment. The arm he was holding the little girl by was neatly severed.

A dog's leg and the little girl fell to the ground at the same time.

"Go! Take her away!"

Qi Hui, who had succeeded in the sneak attack, spat out a gust of wind, blowing her to Xu Ming's side.

Xu Ming caught the little girl at the first moment.

"Young Master, please take care of my daughter."

Zhao Qiongman stuffed a bracelet to Xu Ming, and slammed Xu Ming onto a stone.

The bracelet emerged with a fluorescent light, and streaks of runes peeled off from the bracelet, landing on this stone.

The stone instantly decomposed, revealing a magic array underneath.

When escaping at the beginning, Zhao Qiongman established a total of two magic arrays.

The first escape failed and was destroyed.

Zhao Qiongman wanted to wait for her husband to come back and leave this place with the child.

Unfortunately, her husband would not be able to return.

Fortunately, her daughter could leave by relying on this magic array.

Bi Fang and the black dog also felt a bit of unease, and rushed towards Xu Ming's direction.

Zhao Qiongman and the flying zombie stood in front of Bi Fang, Qi Hui desperately held onto the black dog. Even though his body had already been pierced with one blood hole after another by the black dog, he still did not let go.

"Awoo..."

"Awoo..."

The little girl, who was being held tightly in Xu Ming's arms, kept struggling, wanting to rush forward. The light of the magic array gradually covered the two of them.

Bi Fang's flames covered Zhao Qiongman and the flying zombie.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the bodies of Zhao Qiongman and the flying zombie were gradually disintegrating, turning into ashes.

"Awoo..." The little girl kept stretching out her arms, her little hands constantly reaching forward.

"Child... you must be well, child," Zhao Qiongman looked back at her child. In that gentle smile, Zhao Qiongman and the flying zombie instantly turned into ashes.

"Awoo..." Tears streamed down from the corners of the little girl's eyes.

"Live on."

Qi Hui, who was being stepped on by the black dog, watched the magic array about to activate, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Boom!"

Only a loud noise was heard, Qi Hui detonated his golden core.

Before the explosion could spread, the light covered the little girl and Xu Ming at the same time, and the magic array activated.

A moment later, Xu Ming opened his eyes and was already at the waist of the mountain.

Without any hesitation, Xu Ming tucked the little girl under his arm and flew towards the direction of Qingyang County.

But before Xu Ming had flown a hundred meters, Xu Ming's Dao heart sensed something was wrong. He moved his body to the side, and a fireball smashed down at the position where Xu Ming had just been.

Another fireball bombarded Xu Ming's back. This time, Xu Ming was unable to dodge and had to turn around and deliver a punch.

The fireball was shattered by Xu Ming's punch.

The huge force of the impact caused Xu Ming to fall from the sky.

When Xu Ming landed steadily, Bi Fang and the black dog had already surrounded Xu Ming from the front and back.

The black dog patted the dirt off his body: "How dangerous, how dangerous, I almost let you run away."

Bi Fang pouted: "This kid looks very stubborn, don't waste time talking to him, just break his legs and take him away."

"That's right." The black dog nodded and walked towards Xu Ming step by step.

After Xu Ming was caught and taken to the Myriad Manifestations Kingdom, he would definitely be walking towards a dead end, it was just a matter of the way he died being different and the timing of his death.

Even the black dog felt that this genius was really a pity.

But well, it was a good thing that this genius was going to be a pity, otherwise, when he grew up, that would be terrible, it would definitely be a huge threat to the demon race.

Xu Ming clenched his fists, thinking about whether there was any way to escape.

The final answer was no.

Xu Ming was already out of strength, unable to even throw a final punch, let alone against two Jade Transformation Realm opponents.

All he could do was give up resisting for now and wait to be captured by the Myriad Manifestations Kingdom, hoping for an opportunity later.

"Honk!"

A goose's honk suddenly echoed.

Hearing the familiar goose call, Xu Ming felt a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, Xu Ming saw a Celestial Mystery Goose swoop down onto the black dog's head, relentlessly pecking and flapping its wings.

"Stupid goose! Run!"

Xu Ming panicked, fearing the black dog would kill the goose with a single swipe of its paw.

The big black dog indeed wanted to extend its paw to swat the goose that was buzzing its head.

However, Bi Fang preemptively kicked the big black dog, sending it flying far away: "You dog thing, are you courting death?"

With the big black dog kicked aside by Bi Fang, Bi Fang hopped and stomped on the black dog's body with its single foot.

The Celestial Mystery Goose, unaware of what had happened, quickly flew to Xu Ming's side.

Just now, when the dog extended its paw towards it, the Celestial Mystery Goose also sensed that its life was in danger and it almost lost its life.

After being beaten up by Bi Fang, the black dog got up and looked at the Celestial Mystery Goose beside Xu Ming, its eyes flashing with lingering fear.

If it had acted just now, it would have been finished.

Xu Ming was puzzled.

The way this black dog and Bi Fang looked at Little White was with respect, and the arrogant aura from just now had disappeared without a trace.

And what happened next left Xu Ming even more bewildered.

"Your subject—Miao Huo."

"Your subject—Dead Dog."

"We greet Princess Your Highness!"

Xu Ming, Big White Goose: "???"

Xu Ming looked at the big white goose, and the big white goose looked at Shen Sheng Sheng.

"Honk, honk, honk? (This little girl is a princess? Where did you kidnap her from?) asks the big white goose, "You didn't kidnap someone's princess, did you? Is that why they're trying to kill you?"

"They're talking about you!" Xu Ming knocked the big white goose's head annoyedly, "No, what kind of princess are you?"

"Human! How dare you be rude to Her Highness!"

The black dog felt even worse than being hit on the head when it saw its princess being knocked on the head by a human.

"Princess Your Highness, we have been searching so hard for you." Bi Fang transformed into a human, surprisingly not one-legged, but a normal woman, bowing to the big white goose.

"Honk, honk, honk! Honk, honk! (I'm not your Princess Your Highness, you've got the wrong goose!)" The Celestial Mystery Goose retorted, hands on its hips.

"That can't be, we definitely won't mistake you." The black dog also transformed into a human, as black as if he had been dug out of coal, "After Princess Your Highness takes this, the seal will be undone, memories restored, and you can return with us."

"Honk! (No!)" The big white goose refused decisively, "Honk, honk, honk, honk! (You guys get out of the way, I'm telling you, I'm very powerful, don't even think about hurting us!)"

"Princess Your Highness, you have been bewitched by the humans, no human is a good thing," said Bi Fang.

"Honk, honk, honk! (You guys aren't good things either!)" The big white goose protected Xu Ming behind it.

Bi Fang and the big black dog exchanged glances, the big black dog turned around and bowed deeply: "In that case, Princess Your Highness, your subject will be rude, please forgive me."

"Honk!"

The big white goose thought the other party was going to attack, and was about to flap its wind blades, but as soon as the big white goose opened its mouth, the black dog took out a crystal clear pill from his arms and flicked it into the big white goose's mouth.
