Qi Country, Shuizhou. The vast flat land was densely packed with tents, and the flag with the word Song fluttered in the wind.
"General, the Dark North Kingdom has changed its name. The little princess of the Jin Kingdom has really become the Heavenly Princess." A young man dressed as a deputy general came to the commander's tent and said to Song Honao, who was looking at the sand table.
"Mo Mingyu has become the Heavenly Princess?" Song Honao frowned. Lu Yaoyao had actually made her daughter the Heavenly Princess.
The deputy general said, "Yes, and it's time to change the name of the country to Ning. The original ministers didn't object."
Song Honao thought that if it were him, he would not object to Mo Mingyu becoming the Heavenly Princess. Now that the demon beasts were wreaking havoc, if Mo Rongzhan and his wife were not there, Dingdu City would have been occupied by the demon beasts and razed to the ground. "What about Qian Danqing?"
"Before Mo Mingyu became the Heavenly Princess, Qian Danqing left with the Qian Family Army. After leaving Dingdu City, no one knew where she went." The deputy general said.
"Qian Danqing actually gave up the Dark North Kingdom." Song Honao shook his head. Based on his understanding of Qian Danqing, she was a very ambitious person. Otherwise, she would not have been in a stalemate with Ye Chunnan in Wasteland City for so long.
The deputy general asked in a low voice, "General, what should we do next?"
If they went to war, it would be declaring war on both the Ning Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. Their Emperor had a ten-year non-war treaty with the Jin Kingdom.
"Let's wait and see." Song Honao said that Mo Mingyu was Lu Yaoyao's daughter. With Lu Yaoyao and Mo Rongzhan's temperament, they would not give up an inch of Ning Kingdom's land.
"General, will the palace … let you wait and see?" The deputy general lowered his voice. They all knew how much the Emperor hated the Jin Kingdom. She would definitely order an attack on the Ning Kingdom.
Song Honao thought of Zhao Rao's unresolved hatred. If she knew that the Heavenly Princess of the Ning Kingdom was Lu Yaoyao's daughter, she would definitely order him to go to war.
Zhao Rao must not be able to attack the Jin Kingdom, but she could attack the Ning Kingdom. There was no non-war treaty between the Qi Kingdom and the Ning Kingdom. Moreover, Mingyu was Lu Yaoyao's daughter. Zhao Rao must want to kill Mingyu and let Lu Yaoyao feel the pain of losing a family member.
"Then we'll wait for news from the palace," Song Hongao said.
"A while ago, when the demonic beasts ran amok, it seemed to have affected the Imperial Capital as well. The Emperor shouldn't be able to care about our side, right?" The deputy general said.
Speaking of demonic beasts, Song Honao's face darkened. Some time ago, demonic beasts had also appeared in the barracks. He had thought that they were wild beasts that had escaped from the nearby mountains. Only recently did he realize that it was not that simple. Apart from his barracks, there were demonic beasts everywhere in the world.
"The palace should be safe," Song Honao said.
The deputy general carefully looked behind Song Hongrao. "General, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Song Hongao knew what he was afraid of. "Black mastiffs won't hurt people."
"Haha." The deputy general didn't even dare to take another look. "General, I'll take my leave first."
"The Great Blood Demon has already given the order. The demon beasts won't dare to cause any more trouble," a huge yong beast lying next to the sand table said slowly.
Song Hongao walked to her side. "How are your injuries?"
"They've already recovered a lot." The yong beast said. "When I give birth to the child, my cultivation will be completely restored."
"If it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been injured." Song Hongao gently patted the black mastiff's head. "Tell me what you need. I'll definitely find it for you."
Song Hongao had encountered this black mastiff in the mountains. At that time, she had been injured, so he had saved her. He had used many herbs to save the child in her belly. At that time, Song Hongao didn't know that she was a demonic beast. He only thought that she was a Tibetan mastiff that lived deep in the mountains.
It wasn't until recently that two demonic beasts had appeared in the barracks. Those two beasts had killed many soldiers, and it was the black mastiff who had appeared and subdued them. She had even been injured because of that. That was when Song Hongao learned that there were demonic beasts in the world.
"The spiritual herbs I need, you won't be able to find them." The black mastiff said. "You don't have to worry about demonic beasts appearing again. When Lord Woo Sheng gives the order, no demonic beast will dare to disobey."
Song Hongao asked, "What's the Great Gorefiend?"
"The Ancient Gorefiend is the High Lord's right-hand man. The High Lord is the Great Gorefiend, the Soaring Serpent. He used to be the master of this human world," the black mastiff said. "The High Lord should be returning soon."
"I've never heard of Gorefiends or demonic beasts before," Song Hongao said. "Since this is the human world, this should be the land of us mortals."
The black mastiff shook its head. "You're wrong. This human world … has mortals because of the High Lord."
"I'm just a mortal. I don't know anything about the Gorefiend or the High Lord. As long as I don't harm mortals, it's fine," Song Hongao said.
"Then don't worry. The High Lord will not allow us demonic beasts to harm mortals. A few days ago was an exception. The balance of the Heavenly Dao has disappeared, and the High Lord hasn't appeared yet. Those demonic beasts will inevitably go out of control," the black mastiff said.
Song Hongao suddenly remembered that Lu Yaoyao had been gone for four years. Not only was she safe and sound, but she was also highly skilled in martial arts. "I have … someone I know. She went missing a few years ago. When she returned last year, not only did she become highly skilled, but she also …"
"You mean the City Lord's wife?" The black mastiff immediately knew who Song Hongao was referring to. What happened between Emperor Mo and Ye Zhen on the Upper God Continent had spread throughout the demonic beast world.
"The City Lord's wife?" Song Hongao was stunned.
The black mastiff explained to Song Hongao, "It's Emperor Mo and Ye Zhen …"
Song Honao listened silently, but his heart was already in turmoil. It turned out that there was such a magical existence in another world that he had never dared to imagine, and Lu Yaoyao … Why is she called Ye Zhen in another continent?
"… You saved me. I will repay you. In the future, when I give birth to the child in my belly, I will restore my cultivation and transform into a human. I will teach you how to cultivate." The black mastiff said.
"Let's talk about this later. You should take care of yourself first." Song Hongao said.
The black mastiff had spoken too much. Exhaustion appeared in her eyes, and she lazily closed them.
Song Hongao silently looked at her. If the black mastiff hadn't saved him, he would probably be like the others, afraid to speak face to face with such a mastiff.
Before meeting the black mastiff, who would have dared to imagine that a beast could speak human language?
"Supreme General!" A soldier called out from outside the tent.
"Come in." Song Hongao stood up and called the soldier in.
A soldier walked into the tent quietly. "General, there is a decree from the Emperor."
Song Hongao's expression froze. "Present it."
The soldier hurriedly handed the bright yellow decree to Song Hongao.
The content of the decree was very simple. There were only two sentences.
Attack the Kingdom of Ning and capture the Heavenly Concubine alive.
This Heavenly Concubine naturally referred to Mo Mingyu.
