"Yes, it is Xiao Hua, Immortal Xiao Hua." Yuan Ya was nervous and stuttered.
"Then … what is his background?
How many years has he been in Black Cloud Ridge? "the Changling princess asked after a moment of hesitation.
Hearing the Changling princess ask about Xiao Hua's background, how could Yuan Ya dare to say?
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This one does not dare to discuss this matter behind his back. If you are interested, you can ask Immortal Xiao directly. He is very amiable and will not blame you!"
"Amiable?"
The Changling princess had a bitter smile. How could the word amiable describe a Daoist cultivator who raised his hand and killed people with poison?
"Warrior … what is your name?" the Changling princess asked again.
"This one is called Yuan Ya!" Yuan Ya hurriedly answered, looking slightly bashful.
Hearing this, the Changling princess' heart relaxed. This name was unfamiliar, and she did not have any reaction when she heard it. It seemed that she had never seen him before.
"Your Highness!"
Granny Ji hurriedly said in a low voice, "Now that the pursuers of Bronze Pillar Country have been killed, we do not need to go to Black Cloud Ridge.
Also, this Black Cloud Ridge is very close to Bronze Pillar Country. After the king of Bronze Pillar Country knows that the heavy armored soldiers have been killed, he will be furious and send troops to attack. This is not a safe place.
This old one suggests that Your Highness should hurry to Jia Sa Country? "
"Haha, no matter!"
The Changling princess said with a smile, "If I am not wrong, this Immortal Xiao Hua must be Father-King's good friend in the past. Maybe he has some agreement with Father-King. This one has to go see this Daoist and ask what arrangements Father-King has made for this one!"
"But …" Granny Ji bit her lip and was about to persuade when the Black Bear Spirit called out from the sky, "Listen, Master has orders for you to ask questions in front of the abode.
All of you, come with me so that you can personally thank my master for his kindness. "
"Hmph …" Granny Ji was slightly dissatisfied and snorted coldly.
There were not many deserters in Jiang Country to begin with. After this battle, more than sixty percent were lost, especially among the hundreds of Dao soldiers. Now, there were only five left.
These five cultivators were full of admiration for Xiao Hua's strength. When they heard the Black Bear Spirit's command, they immediately flew into the air and stood beside the Black Bear Spirit.
"Hmph …" Qian Li looked at the five people and snorted coldly like Granny Ji. Then he looked at the Changling princess and waited for her to speak.
The Changling princess smiled faintly and waved her hand. "This princess is going to thank Daoist Xiao. Black Wind King, please lead the way!"
At this moment, the Black Bear Spirit was full of himself. He was no longer as timid as before. He waved his hand and said, "Hahaha, all of you, come with me!"
Under the Black Bear Spirit's orders, over a hundred lesser demons were left behind to clean up the corpses. The other lesser demons followed the Black Bear Spirit back to the Black Wind Ridge in high spirits.
Just as the Black Bear Spirit left, a feather about a foot long flashed out of the black clouds at the spot where Xiao Hua's gaze had stopped. Its sharp gaze swept over the corpses in the swamp one last time. It flapped its wings slightly and flew in a different direction from Black Wind Ridge.
The Changling princess was very excited, as though she had escaped a calamity.
Of course, anyone who was able to escape from a situation of certain death would do the same.
However, the Changling princess was different from other people.
The Black Cloud Ridge was a place where monsters roamed in the eyes of ordinary people. It was also a place of death in the eyes of ordinary people.
As the princess of Jiang Country, the Changling princess had heard of the rumors, stories, and even infamy of the Black Cloud Ridge.
She had been curious about the Black Cloud Ridge for a long time. She had wanted to barge in and take a look countless times. Today, she was finally here. After being reborn from the dead, she was here, especially under the guidance of the Black Cloud Ridge demons.
Looking at the ordinary mountains and stones of the Black Cloud Ridge, the Changling princess felt they were different from the outside.
Granny Ji even said several times to stop and take care of the eagle feather arrow on her shoulder. She did not agree and only cut off the arrow shaft that was exposed outside the peach red armor.
However, what made the Changling princess slightly uneasy were two different gazes.
One was naturally the Black Bear Spirit. This guy flew in front of her and occasionally turned his head. When his gaze landed on the Changling princess, he appeared extremely wretched. The Changling princess felt this gaze was sharper than the eagle feather arrow. It didn't just pierce through her peach red armor, it could also pass through the scarf covering her face.
Once she sensed this kind of gaze, the Changling princess could not help but have goosebumps on her skin. It was as though thousands of disgusting flies were crawling on her body. Under this gaze, the Changling princess felt she had become a piece of tender pork rib giving off the fragrance of oil.
The other gaze naturally belonged to Yuan Ya. This person was being carried in the air by the other bear spirit. He also occasionally looked at the Changling princess.
Yuan Ya's gaze was completely different from the Black Bear Spirit's. His gaze made the Changling princess feel a kind of stability, a kind of tranquility. It was as though with this gaze, all the difficulties in the world would vanish. Under this gaze, she would have the most solid support.
Of course, the Changling princess could not bear the heat in his eyes. She found it strange. The scarf on her face was a special kind of magic artifact. Ordinary people could not see through it even with the Clear Eyes Art. How could this brave warrior see her true appearance?
"Damn it …" Granny Ji detected the Black Bear Spirit's gaze and urged the black horse to stand in front of the Changling princess. The Black Bear Spirit bared his teeth and smiled. A blood red tongue licked the corner of his mouth. Then he smiled inexplicably. Granny Ji shrunk back in fear as though the tongue had already licked her neck.
"Lecher!"
One of the female guards of the Changling princess also discovered Yuan Ya's gaze. She scolded and stood on the other side of the Changling princess.
But to the female general's surprise, Yuan Ya's gaze was still looking in that direction. He did not dodge or even blink, as though she did not exist.
"This … this person doesn't know some weird eye-clearing technique, does he?" the female general muttered. "Could it be that he can see the princess's appearance?
Hmph, this girl's appearance cannot attract your gaze? "
Seeing Granny Ji and the female general stand in front of her, the Changling princess smiled slightly. Warmth rose in her heart. A friend in need was a friend indeed. Maybe these people had been loyal to Jiang Country in the past, but now, they were using their lives to protect her.
The Changling princess naturally knew about returning the favor. When she reclaimed her country, she would not treat these followers unfairly.
Thinking of reclaiming her country, the Changling princess panicked again. She wanted to grow wings and fly to Xiao Hua's residence to personally ask about the present situation of Jiang Country.
Fortunately, the delicate Changling princess did not grow ugly wings. The black horse stepped on the clouds and came to Xiao Hua's crude residence in less than fifteen minutes.
Looking at the newly created cave, the Changling princess had a knowing smile on her face as the rocks and soil piled up outside were still soft. Clearly, Xiao Hua was the backup arranged by the king of Jiang Country. However, due to some changes, he had settled down at Black Wind Ridge. It was not that Xiao Hua had not received the message she had just sent, but that the Black Bear Spirit had been delayed.
"Little ones, put these people here!
Go back quickly. Old Master's residence is clean. Do not stay here. "The Black Bear Spirit waved his hand and shouted to the little yao.
"Yes, yes …" These little demons could be said to be worshipping Xiao Hua right now. Xiao Hua's sacred art was much more powerful than the Great King Wanchou's. Hearing the Black Bear Spirit's words, he immediately trembled in fear and hurriedly put down the people and horses of Jiang Guo and left in a hurry.
"Also, bury all those people for me!
No one can eat them!! "
The Black Bear Spirit seemed to think of something and shouted, "Old Master does not let us eat people. We have to remember!
Those horses, birds, they can go with wine! "
"Yes, we know!" The little yao agreed.
Hearing this, the Changling princess was relieved. She seemed to think of something and hurriedly shouted, "Right, Black Wind King, you have to leave behind those people's things. This palace has use for them in the future!"
Unfortunately, the Black Bear Spirit raised an eyebrow and looked up and down at the Changling princess. He sneered and said, "Little girl, you won't even let me see your face. Why should I listen to you?
Also, even if those things are left behind, they belong to Old Master. What do they have to do with you? "
"Audacious servant ~" Granny Ji was unhappy and scolded. "You do not need to bow to the princess. Your service in saving the emperor will be recorded in the palace records. But if you are proud of your service now, what will happen in the future?"
"Old beggar …" The Black Bear Spirit's gaze was like a knife as he looked up and down at Granny Ji. He said with a smile, "This old man's service is not up to you to decide. This old man does not care if it is recorded in the palace records.
While Old Master does not let this old man eat human flesh, he does not stop this old man from getting close to women. You are old, but your skin is not bad. Are you interested in looking at the moon tonight, talking about dreams and love? "
"Ah?"
Granny Ji's eyes widened. She was tongue-tied and her face was red. She did not know how to respond.
"Hahaha …" The Black Bear Spirit ignored her and laughed as he entered the cave. Another sentence floated out. "Damn it, a thick-skinned old beggar is not as good as a phoenix. This old man has no choice but to talk about love with you!"
"You, you, you …" Granny Ji almost fainted from anger. She pointed at the cave with trembling arms.
Unfortunately, a boy with delicate features walked out from where she was pointing. He was actually holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. He stood in front of the cave and shouted, "Master has orders. Bury the bodies of the pursuers from the Bronze Pillar Country. Take care of the horses and birds on Black Wind Ridge. Send everything else here without delay!"
