Early in the morning, Lin Muyu left the Dragon's Necropolis while bathing in the warm sunlight. She actually found that warhorse in the forest outside the Dragon's Necropolis. It seemed like Tang Hao had left it behind for her. Lin Muyu was very grateful. Actually, Tang Hao was a good person, but he had followed the wrong person. If he had continued to follow Tang Bin, he probably wouldn't have been a good person. Luckily, she had killed Tang Bin with a single strike of her sword.
Lin Muyu flipped onto the horse and reached out to pull Tang Xiaoxi up into his arms. However, Tang Xiaoxi's nine fiery tails really blocked her vision. Luckily, Tang Xiaoxi was smart. She stuck out her tongue and sat on the horse, letting her fiery tails hang down beside the horse's belly so that it wouldn't affect Lin Muyu's galloping. However, this way, she could only hug Lin Muyu's waist and lean on him tightly.
Taking out the map scroll, Lin Muyu glanced at it, then looked at the sun to confirm the direction. He then urged the horse forward. The warhorse had eaten grass in the forest for an entire night, so it had enough legs. With a long neigh, it charged forward. They had to reach Lanyan City as soon as possible. Otherwise, Qin Jin, Qin Yin, and the others would definitely be very worried.
However, Lin Muyu didn't know that after he left, Qin Yin, Qu Chu, Zhen Yifan, and the others had all come to the Dragon's Necropolis. This part of the Dragon's Necropolis was very lively.
…
They hadn't traveled far when the auras of experts suddenly appeared in the Spirit Pulse Technique. Instantly, Lin Muyu couldn't help but tremble. She hurriedly turned the horse around and ran into the forest. However, it was already too late. One of the enemy's scouts galloped over and shouted, "Brat, don't run. I've already seen you!"
Looking at the insignia on this person's shoulder, he was from the Divine Might Battalion. Behind him was a group of cavalry galloping over, and Zhen Yifan was among them.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but groan inwardly. They had just left the Dragon's Tomb and they had already run into the Divine Might Battalion. Truly, misfortune never comes alone.
Zeng Yifan spurred his horse forward. His gaze swept across Lin Muyu, then landed on Tang Xiaoxi. Looking at Tang Xiaoxi's fox ears and fiery tail, he couldn't help but smile and say, "I originally thought that the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was just a legend, but now it seems like it's true … Princess Xi, are you really Princess Xi?"
Tang Xiaoxi jumped down from Lin Muyu's arms and landed lightly on the grass. Her snow-white feet stepped on the ripples of flames as she floated in the air. The nine tails of flames behind her swayed gently. She bowed like a lady of the empire and smiled: "Greetings to the Marquis, Tang Xiaoxi greets you!"
Zeng Yifan hastily got off his horse and cupped his fists: "You're too kind, Princess. Zeng Yifan greets Princess Xi!"
On the side, Sikong Nan's palm was pressed on the hilt of his sword. Behind him, many of the Divine Might Battalion's men also had their swords drawn and were ready to fight at any time. Although Zeng Yifan's expression was respectful, the Divine Might Battalion's true stance was the people behind him, right?
Lin Muyu flicked her wrist and took off the Dragon Spirit Sword from her back. She buckled it at her waist so that she could unsheathe it at any time. She cupped her fists and smiled: "I didn't expect Divine Marquis to come to the Dragon Forest as well."
Zeng Yifan said: "That's because … His Majesty is concerned about Princess Xi's safety. As his subjects, we naturally can't just stand by and watch. It's our lifelong wish to die for His Majesty."
"What a lifelong wish."
Lin Muyu laughed and said respectfully: "Divine Marquis, I've found Princess Xi. Please return. I'll bring Princess Xi safely back to Lanyan City."
"No, since I'm here coincidentally, why don't we protect Princess Xi back to the Imperial Capital?" Zeng Yifan said with a smile: "After all, it'll be safer if there are more people."
Safety my ass!
Lin Muyu cursed in her heart, but she couldn't refute Zeng Yifan's words. However, she really didn't want to travel with Zeng Yifan. It was the same as sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth!
At this moment, Sikong Nan suddenly raised his voice: "General Lin Muyu, I wonder if you've seen Young Master Tang Bin from Seven Seas City?"
"Tang Bin?"
Lin Muyu's heart trembled. She shook her head without hesitation: "I haven't seen him!"
What a joke. If Zeng Yifan knew that she killed Tang Bin, he would definitely use this as a pretext to make a fuss. By then, he would have even more reason to kill her and Tang Xiaoxi. It might even be possible that he would clean up Tang Lan's family.
Tang Xiaoxi bowed again and said with a smile: "Divine Marquis, Xiao Xi has a presumptuous request. I wonder if Divine Marquis can fulfill Xiao Xi's wish."
Zeng Yifan laughed: "Princess Xi is too courteous. Please speak."
Tang Xiaoxi blinked her golden eyes and said: "Everyone in Lanyan City knows that the person Xiao Xi likes is the Emperor's godson, Lin Muyu. Now that I can finally be alone with Mu, I hope that Marquis can fulfill my wish and let me and Mu return to Lanyan City alone. This way, we can go sightseeing and talk about love on the way …"
As she spoke, her face blushed. Even though she was lying, she still couldn't help but feel shy.
Zeng Yifan was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Xiaoxi to be so straightforward. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that beautiful girls in this era were indeed very open. Thinking back to when he was fighting in the north and south, he basically had to fight for women.
Frowning, Zeng Yifan came up with an idea. He smiled and said: "There are many dangers in the Dragon Seeking Forest, so … Princess Xi's safety is the most important. Let's travel together. This way, even if we encounter some ten-thousand-year-old spiritual beasts, we can still avoid danger. What does Princess Xi think?"
"Hehe … Is the Marquis doubting Xiao Xi's strength?"
Tang Xiaoxi giggled and suddenly raised her left hand. Her palm shone with a golden light and her whole body was enshrouded in flames. With a sudden shout, the Soul Suppressing Seal broke through the air. With a "boom", a huge rock that was a few meters tall not far away was instantly turned into powder. Even the shockwave from the Soul Suppressing Seal smashed the surrounding trees into pieces. This kind of destructive power made Sikong Nan and the other generals of the Divine Might Battalion dumbfounded. Everyone knew that Tang Xiaoxi's cultivation was not weak, but wasn't she a little too strong at this time?
This kind of momentum was not inferior to the Holy Region at all!
"How is it? Does the Marquis still think that Xiao Xi doesn't have the ability to protect herself?" Tang Xiaoxi smiled slightly.
Zeng Yifan's expression was calm, but in his heart, he was extremely shocked. Everyone said that the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was a monster, but now it seemed that this monster was really too strong. It directly allowed Tang Xiaoxi, who was at the first level of the Heaven Realm, to have the cultivation of the Holy Region. This kind of leap in strength was really too shocking!
At this time, just as Zeng Yifan was thinking about how to make Tang Xiaoxi and Lin Muyu stay, another group of people suddenly galloped from the north, and their aura was very familiar.
Lin Muyu turned around and saw a familiar figure at the forefront of this group of people. It was Qin Yin!
Seeing Qu Chu beside Qin Yin, Lin Muyu immediately felt relieved. As long as Qu Chu was there, the Fire Palm could rule the universe, and Zeng Yifan had no chance of winning. In fact, Lin Muyu even felt that it was necessary to get rid of Zeng Yifan here and now to avoid future troubles. However, this idea was too bold. Although Feng Jixing would definitely approve of it, Qu Chu was a loyal and honest person, so he would definitely not be willing to do so.
"Xiao Xi!" Qin Yin happily jumped off the horse and flew over.
"Xiao Yin!" Tang Xiaoxi was also very happy.
The two girls hugged each other in the air. Qin Yin hugged her best friend tightly, while Tang Xiaoxi's nine flame tails swayed gently, looking very excited. At the same time, she used her strength to control her body and safely landed with Qin Yin.
… …
"Alright!"
Lin Muyu moved her hand away from the hilt of her sword and cupped her fists. "Now that Her Highness, Qu, and Feng Jixing are here, Xiao Xi's safety will definitely not be a problem. Divine Marquis, thank you for your concern. We will return to Lanyan City by ourselves. You should also be careful along the way. You are an important official of the empire, so no accidents can happen to you."
Zeng Yifan's expression was extremely ugly. He cupped his fists. "In that case, I will return to Lanyan City with the Divine Might Battalion first. Your Highness, Princess Xi, please be careful along the way."
Qin Yin smiled and bowed. "Then Xiao Yin will not see you off, Divine Marquis."
At Zeng Yifan's command, the hundreds of Divine Might Battalion immediately turned around and returned the way they came. After a few days of galloping, they probably didn't expect this outcome.
… …
The spring wind brushed past them, but it didn't give them a sense of safety. Sikong Nan was furious. "Marquis, are we going back empty-handed?"
"Not empty-handed, of course."
Zeng Yifan's lips curled into a smile. "I have long known that Tang Bin wants to kill Tang Xiaoxi, and Lin Muyu will definitely protect Tang Xiaoxi, so there will be a fierce battle with Tang Bin. At that time … if Tang Bin can kill Lin Muyu, His Majesty will definitely vent his anger on Seven Seas City. If Lin Muyu kills Tang Bin, Tang Lan will definitely vent her anger on the imperial capital. No matter what, it's good for us. Heh … if Tang Xiaoxi's transformation into a nine-tailed fox demon can cause the alliance between Lanyan City and Seven Seas City to break, then this transformation is really great."
Sikong Nan's eyes lit up. "Ha, Marquis is wise. I have thought too little!"
Zeng Yifan glanced at him indifferently. "No, your shortcoming is that you have done too little and thought too much."
Sikong Nan was stunned and speechless.
…
In the forest outside the Dragon's Tomb, Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin rode side by side. Qin Yin had a smile on her face. After so many days of worry, she could finally let go. Looking at Tang Xiaoxi's golden eyes and fiery tail, she was actually a little envious. She pouted and said, "Xiao Xi's eyes are really beautiful now …"
"Is that so?"
Tang Xiaoxi was a little speechless. "If you really have it, you will feel afraid instead!"
"I won't be afraid."
Qin Yin said with a smile, "Look, isn't Big Brother Yu also not afraid?"
"Yes, Xiao Xi is still Xiao Xi. What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Muyu said with a smile.
On the side, Feng Jixing grinned and said mysteriously, "Moreover, perhaps Yu will like Xiao Xi's current appearance even more. It's especially amorous, isn't it?"
Lin Muyu blushed. "Big Brother Feng, don't talk nonsense. I'm not that kind of person."
At this moment, Zhang Wei said something very inappropriate. "I heard that the person Lin Muyu likes is Her Highness Yin, but it seems that she has a good relationship with Princess Xi. Could it be that the Lord wants to marry both of them … Oh my god, a princess and a princess, one adult and one child. This is really a blessing. I'm afraid this has never happened in the seven thousand years of history of the Empire …"
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi blushed at the same time and didn't know what to say.
Lin Muyu was also silent. In fact, he also didn't know why. In short, he loved Qin Yin deeply, but he also liked Tang Xiaoxi. Zhang Wei's words made him slightly moved, but he quickly overturned it. This world was changing too quickly. The only thing he wanted to do now was to stay by Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi's side. He was already very satisfied to be able to accompany them.
…
At this moment, Qu Chu rode his horse to Lin Muyu's side with a solemn expression and said, "Yu, when we came here, we met Tang Hao and the people from Seven Seas City … Did you kill Tang Bin?"
