With the help of two palace maids, Qin Jin slowly walked down the steps while coughing violently. No one would associate this old man with the wise and mighty Radiant King of the past. Su Qin's death meant that there might be a huge change in Muyu City. Qin Yin might lose one of her supporters in the future. This was probably what Qin Jin was most worried about.
… …
"Xiao Yin, are you alright?" Lin Muyu walked up the steps and looked at Qin Yin.
Qin Yin's beautiful eyes were slightly red. She bit her red lips and said, "Big Brother Yu, how could Uncle die … How could Uncle die? He was the Empire's Great General …"
Lin Muyu was a bit silent and said, "People will die eventually. He just offended someone he shouldn't have."
"Xiang Yu?"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Qin Yin's eyes. "If Uncle was really killed by Xiang Yu, I want him to die a horrible death!"
"En."
Lin Muyu nodded, her gaze firm. "I will!"
On the side, Qu Chu said, "Yu, Her Highness is in a bad mood. Keep her company for the next two days. This old man will stay in Ze Tian Palace to protect His Majesty. You can go out with Xiao Yin and relax."
"En, I know, Qu."
"Heh, then this old man will go. I won't disturb the two of you."
… …
Qu Chu's words made Qin Yin blush. She looked up at Lin Muyu and bit her red lips. She thought of Su Qin's tragic death and said, "Big Brother Yu, let's go to the Imperial Hunting Grounds to relax?"
"En, okay. When are we going?"
"We'll leave in the afternoon."
"Okay, let me get ready."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in Ze Tian Palace at noon. Also, send someone to bring Xiao Xi over. We'll go together."
"En!"
Lin Muyu turned around and saw Chu Huaiyin cupping his fists. "General Chu Huaiyin will obey General Lin's orders!"
Although Chu Huaiyin was the commander of the Dragon Guards, he was only a fifth-rank deputy general. He was one rank lower than Lin Muyu, so he spoke very respectfully.
Lin Muyu didn't say much. She said, "Big Brother Chu, Her Highness Yin is going to hunt. We must ensure her safety. How many people can you mobilize on your side?"
"About 2000 Royal Guards."
"Alright, bring them all."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu pondered for a moment and went outside the door. She found an Eagle Guard and ordered, "Go to the Eagle Nest Camp immediately and order Wei Chou to lead 50 Eagle Guards to Ze Tian Palace and await further orders. Bring enough White Drill Arrows."
"Yes, My Lady!"
After everything was settled, Lin Muyu thought for a moment and turned around to return to the Holy Palace. Since she was going to hunt, she would bring Akatosaurus along. The cuteness of the little dragon might make Qin Yin feel better. More importantly, Akatosaurus needed to grow. According to the fourth chapter of the Psychic Eight Volumes, "Breeding", as long as the pet was strong enough, it should be able to speed up its growth by devouring other spiritual beasts. This was a good opportunity. He didn't want to wait until he was old and Akatosaurus was still a young dragon, useless except for acting cute.
After returning to the Holy Palace, he reported the situation to Reihong. Then, he wrapped the little dragon's body in a black cloth and tied it to the horse's back. He ordered it not to move. Fortunately, although Akatosaurus was mischievous, it was very obedient. It laid in the cloth bag and soon, it started snoring softly. It had actually fallen asleep!
When he returned to the Holy Palace, Tang Xiaoxi had already arrived. After having a quick meal, they set off for the Royal Hunting Ground.
The Royal Hunting Ground was located in the Dragon Seeking Forest. Most of the spiritual beasts in the hunting ground did not exceed 3,000 years of lifespan. The hunting ground was surrounded by soldiers armed with bows and arrows. As long as the spiritual beasts in the hunting ground tried to escape, these soldiers would use torches and bows to threaten them. When there were so many people, even the strongest spiritual beasts would be frightened and retreat, let alone a spiritual beast that was only a few thousand years old.
…
More than two thousand people left the city in a grandiose manner. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were both sitting in the carriage. Lin Muyu held onto the hilt of her sword and rode her horse to guard one side. Chu Huaiyin guarded the other side. Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the others followed closely behind them. In particular, the group of archers that Wei Chou brought with him were all filled with arrows. The arrowheads glowed with a white luster, which was the special characteristic of the White Diamond Arrows.
The reason why Lin Muyu dared to escort Qin Yin with such a small number of troops was mainly because of the White Diamond Arrows. The sharpness of the White Diamond Arrows, Wei Chou's unfailing accuracy, and Lin Muyu and Chu Huaiyin's strength were enough to kill them even if Zeng Yifan personally led the Divine Might Battalion to fight them. The White Diamond Arrows could pierce through battle armor, and they were destined to be the nemesis of Saint realm experts.
They arrived at the Imperial Hunting Ground at dusk. The journey was very smooth, and they didn't make any mistakes.
That night, they arranged for Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi to stay in the Hunting Ground's temporary imperial residence. In fact, it was called a temporary imperial residence, but it was just a small castle. The two thousand imperial guards set up camp around the temporary imperial residence. There were originally 300 soldiers guarding the temporary imperial residence, but now there were nearly 2,400 soldiers guarding the place. It was much safer.
When Lin Muyu escorted Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi into the temporary imperial residence, the supervisor of the temporary imperial residence came forward and knelt on the ground. "This lowly official, Zhou Tong, pays his respects to Your Highness, Your Highness Yin, and General Lin and General Chu."
Qin Yin waved her hand. "There's no need to be so polite. Rise."
Zhou Tong hurriedly stood up and smiled. "I'm glad to hear that Your Highness has arrived at the Hunting Ground. This lowly official has already ordered the servants to prepare a delicious and exquisite dinner. Your Highness can eat after a short rest."
"Mm."
Qin Yin probably didn't have much of an appetite either. She tugged on Tang Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Lord Zhou Tong, just arrange a room for me and Xiao Xi tonight. I will sleep with Xiao Xi."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
…
Chu Huaiying, Wei Chou, and the others stood guard in the corridor. Lin Muyu carried a black bag on her back, which contained the sleeping little dragon. She followed Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi to the room, and arranged for the imperial guards along the way to ensure their safety.
Qin Yin had a lot on her mind and didn't say much until they entered the room. Her pet, the Golden Crag Swift Wolf, kept staring at the bag on Lin Muyu's back and growled softly. However, every time the little dragon in the bag moved and stretched, the Golden Crag Swift Wolf would immediately whimper and retreat a few steps. It looked both angry and scared, and it was simply too cowardly.
"Little wolf, what's wrong?"
Qin Yin was a little confused. She furrowed her brows and said, "Brother Yu, is there something in the bag on your back? Why does my little wolf look so scared? What is it? "
Tang Xiaoxi sat on the soft bed and smiled. "Yes, Mu. Why are you acting so mysterious?"
Lin Muyu pursed her lips and stood on the edge of the wall with her arms crossed. She smiled and said, "Two days ago, I went to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce to participate in their auction for baby spiritual beasts. That's why I bought a dragon egg."
"Baby spiritual beast auction?"
Tang Xiaoxi pouted and said with a smile, "That's just a trick. There are so many nobles in Lanyan City who keep spiritual beasts, but in the end, the spiritual beasts either get lost, or they turn on their owners and are taken away by the inspection officers as supper. Mu, you're such a smart person. Why would you buy such a deceptive thing …"
Lin Muyu spread out her hands and said with a smile, "But I really bought it … and the dragon egg hatched this morning …"
"Ah, really?" Tang Xiaoxi was shocked.
Qin Yin also opened her small mouth, and a glimmer of light appeared in her pair of beautiful eyes. "Brother Yu, you're not lying to me and Xiao Xi, are you?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Little dragon, come out and meet the two big sisters!"
"Awooo …"
The Akatosaurus's distinctive cry came from the cloth bag. It struggled hard, but still couldn't find the exit of the bag. All it could do was howl.
Tang Xiaoxi chuckled. "What on earth is it?"
Lin Muyu shook the bag, and immediately a pet wrapped in red crystals fell on the carpet. The Akatosaurus howled and immediately turned around to hug Lin Muyu's leg with its claws. It seemed to be very scared, and its tail wrapped in red crystal scales was still sweeping on the carpet, looking scared and naughty.
Qin Yin couldn't help laughing. "Wow, what a cute … puppy!"
"It's a holy dragon, not a puppy …"
Lin Muyu reached out to grab the Akatosaurus's tail, lifted it up, and came to Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi. She said with a smile, "Here, meet the two beauties of our Lanyan City. Don't be so shy!"
Who would have thought that the little dragon would suddenly burp and let out a satisfied sound. At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a small ball of flame with a "hua" sound. Its big eyes blinked as it looked at Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi. Its little claws were waving wildly as if it wanted a hug.
It was in girls' nature to like cute things. In an instant, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi's hearts seemed to melt. They took the Akatosaurus from Lin Muyu's hands and put it on Qin Yin's lap. Qin Yin also looked up and said reproachfully, "Brother Yu, if this is really the legendary holy dragon Akatosaurus, how can you raise it like a dog …"
Lin Muyu laughed. "It's almost like a puppy!"
At this time, the Akatosaurus had already opened its front claws and hugged Qin Yin's wrist. At the same time, it stuck out its tender tongue and licked Tang Xiaoxi's index finger. Its big eyes were wide open, looking at one beauty and then the other beauty, as if it was bursting with joy.
"So cute …"
Qin Yin said with a smile, "Brother Yu, let me play with it for a few days, okay?"
"Sure!"
Lin Muyu crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with a smile, "I will accompany you and Xiao Xi for the next few days. You can play with it however you want, just don't break it. Oh right, Xiao Yin, let Xiao Xi learn the art of psychic communication. In the future, when the opportunity arises, Xiao Xi will also be able to obtain a powerful spirit beast."
"Yes, yes, I've already taught her!"
"That's good. Regarding this Akatosaurus, you must keep it a secret. If others find out, it might bring about a lot of trouble."
"Got it."
"Alright, let's rest for a while and then we'll go eat."
"Okay."
Tang Xiaoxi said with a smile, "Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll bring this little dragon to go hunting. Oh right, it hasn't given it a name yet, right? Do you want me and Xiao Yin to give it a nice name?"
"Okay, as long as you guys are happy."
Lin Muyu didn't mind. Anyway, the main task this time was to accompany Qin Yin out to relax. If the little dragon could make Qin Yin happy, it didn't matter if it was named Wu Mengda.
