When Ling Yue heavily threw out the âWeâ part in her sentence, her eyes were extremely gloomy. Then suddenly, she made a grab for the little fluff ball on her shoulders and tossed the guy out towards the two in front.
Naturally, the little miscreant didnât go unnoticed to the prince and his retinues before. Just that neither of the boys found Little Squeak dangerous or imposing in the least.
âBeast!â Disgusted by the dirty pest, Xia Hou Hong was ready to flare out when something unexpected occurred.
From Little Squeakâs body, a series of black light rings burst forward and created a vortex of wind. Then expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, that teacup sized body quickly grew and grew. Before Xia Hou Hong and Hong Yu Long could even utter a cry of shock, the little guy had already finished his transformation with a bang that raised all sorts of dusts into the air.
Different from his original super cute image of a baby pet, Little Squeakâs irises are now a bloodshot red with a dangerous glint to them. As for those fluffy fur, they are replaced with a layer of super hard scales similar to a dragonâs. Stacking muscles at every turn, just a glance was enough to tell the enemy heâs no pushover.
âDem-Demon Beast!â Going white in their faces, both boys cried out these two words in unison.
From a small baby beast to a vicious monster, if this wasnât a demon beast then what else can it be?
While on the other end, their screeching voices only infuriated Little Squeak. After transforming and taking on his new form, the fur ball only had one thought in mind and that was to protect his mistress.
Making a deafening roar, Little Squeak literally causes both men to nearly wet their pants.
âLittle Squeak, you deal with Xia Hou Hong while I deal with Hong Yu Long,â Ling Yue suggests.
âYou-You, donât come near me. I was only following ordersâ¦â Stuttering in his voice, Hong Yu Long had trouble making himself clear.
If he had known this Thirteen can control a demon beast, he would never have had provoked the boy.
âPlease spare me this one time. If you do, my father the Royal Tutor will definitely give you a lot of money. Iâm my mother and fatherâs only son!â Pleading with his tail behind his back, Hong Yu Long thought that temptation would be enough to move Ling Yue.
Hong Yu Long, the only son of Zhu Ge Rou and Hong Feng eh?
At the thought, Ling Yueâs eye sharpened even further like that of a eagleâs. Towards that face holding a strong resemblance to Hong Feng and Zhu Ge Rou, only a never ending hatred could be used to describe her mood right now.
In the past decade or so, her mother and her own suffering had all been caused by them so how can she say forgive them?
âDo you know who I am?â She slowly encroaches in on her target.
Meeting that intense gaze, Hong Yu Long almost couldnât believe what he just saw. Hatred, humiliation, and murderous intent, everything in one.
âYou⦠who are you? I have already asked for mercy, please spare me.â As a well protected child, the boy had never once in his life encountered a being so threatening and terrifying.
Whatâs more, he clearly sensed it just now. When he mentioned his father, that hatred only got worse.
âTowards your question, you should go back and ask your hypocritical parents instead. Ask them what they did fourteen years ago.â Bone chilling in her expression, her voice was seething: âNo wait, thatâs too slow. Best I send you to the afterlife so you can ask the Lord of the Underworld first hand.â
âCrown Prince, Highness, save meâ¦. Oophh.â Losing all form of resistance, the boy was like a chicken being strangled by their farmer.
Very soon, his eyes had started to roll upwards with an abnormal white at the ever so tightening grip on his throat.
Am I going to die, die here like this?
Never in his life had Hong Yu Long thought he would meet his end like so.
Who are youâ¦.
âStop!â
Then it was at this critical moment when the boyâs about to suffocate that a sky rumbling cry burst through the clouds. From the source, a silhouette was zooming over at breakneck speed.
âMing Yue, you are here Ming Yue. Quickly save me!â Knowing thereâs hope again, Hong Yu Long suddenly became reinvigorated with strength.
âWhoâs this nobody, how dare you harm my Hong familyâs people?â The girlâs voice was like a jiggling bell which made it very nice to the ears.
Ming Yue?
Hong Ming Yue!
Turning serious in her expression, Ling Yueâs finger somehow loosened a bit due to the initial shock.
The pride of the Hong House and Zhu Ge Rouâs youngest and most gifted daughter. So this is that Hong Ming Yue?
Following the source of that sound, Ling Yue turns to face that direction and instantly saw a girl not much younger than herself. Donning a snow white dress with an emerald green jasper flute under her feet, the girl looked like sheâs being basked in a whole layer of light due to the angle sheâs flying over from. Whatâs more, that cold temperament only added an extra charm to her appearance.
Speaking of this girl, itâs truly quite the coincidence. Hong Ming Yue originally only came to this reaches of the region to carry out a mission for her sect. But as she was making a returning trip after completing her job, her senses suddenly caught wind of her elder brotherâs aura nearby. Thatâs when she saw it, the sight of Ling Yue nearly taking Hong Yu Longâs life.
As someone whoâs left her home since young, she naturally didnât hold much feelings for her family, let alone some meaningless bond between siblings. Nevertheless, that doesnât excuse a stranger from bullying her brother in front of her. In particular was the fact that the assailant was a nobody with no fame to their name.
âPrincess Ming Yue, itâs too wonderful to see you here.â Crown Prince Xia Hou Hong finally manages to rid himself of Little Squeakâs entanglement. When seeing help was here, his eyes became that of someone meeting a savior.
Likewise, the appearance of a third party also causes the four masters in the air from continuing. To a reincarnation master like themselves, Hong Ming Yueâs strength may not be much, hardly worthy to warrant a notice, but that jasper flute made out of emerald jade under her feet was a whole different matter.
First was Bo Qing, now a Hong Ming Yue, it seems Thirteen is in trouble this time. He Lao Dai murmurs to himself.
Not delaying, the elder swiftly descends to the ground and comes up to Ling Yueâs side: âSir Thirteen, this woman is not simple. You see that flute under her feet? Itâs called Three Life Flute, an artifact unique to the Three Life Valley and also a first rate sect of the world.
