Amid the screams emitted by the demons, their bodies were gradually shrinking, and as they disappeared, you sensed that Huo Wu’s power had slightly increased in a very short ti.
"Master, these are just demons wandering in Hell, they aren’t very skilled."
Soon, a dozen demons were easily dealt with by Huo Wu.
Huo Wu still appeared before you in the form of a Spiritual Body, but now her body was only about the size of your lower leg, looking very tiny and cute.
"I hadn’t expected that you would dispose of them so easily." You too were montarily shocked by Huo Wu’s speed in killing the enemy.
"Demons have always preyed on the weaker among themselves. If they had known of my existence from the start, they probably would have fled long ago. Moreover, I have learned quite a number of Swallowing Skills from Amaterasu, which further enhance my swallowing ability, so even when facing stronger demons, I can manage."
At that mont, Huo Wu fluttered around you for a while, then transford into a streak of Flowing Light and entered the bell at your waist.
Having done everything, you still wore a smile as you looked at the Third Prince, who now slightly opened his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief at everything before him.
You see, these demons were powerful beings worshiped by the elders of his sect. He had also witnessed these demons in action. A transcendent expert, not even having a chance to flee, was directly shattered by a dozen demons, dying extrely cleanly, their physical remains utterly devoured.
Before he left, he had secured many benefits to borrow the Ghost Bell housing the demons from the elder, but who could have anticipated that such formidable demons would be resolved by you so simply, with the dozen demons dying even more cleanly, not even leaving behind dust.
Now, let alone your revenge, the Third Prince was even more worried about facing the fury of that elder once he returned.
"Don’t co any closer!"
Seeing you slowly riding your horse towards him, the Third Prince shouted in extre fright.
Your notorious reputation was well known, and you, being a ruthless person, wouldn’t care whether he was a Prince of Qin or not.
"What’s the matter, Your Highness? Weren’t you acting all high and mighty just now?"
"Well, this prince was only out enjoying the moon tonight, and the moonlight is clear..."
The Third Prince tried to maintain his composure and looked up, only to find tragedy, as it was an overcast evening.
"Third Prince, are you mocking ?"
You didn’t continue moving forward but still smiled as you watched the Third Prince. Frankly, you didn’t even feel like killing the Third Prince; his powers weren’t high, his intelligence was lacking, and put frankly, he was just an ostentatious coward. Killing him would dirty your hands.
"Of course not!"
"Since that’s the case, then why don’t you scram!"
"Ah? Ah, ah! Okay, I’ll leave imdiately!" said the Third Prince as he quickly turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Hmph, if the Qin Kingdom has more royals like him, its downfall won’t be far off." You snorted coldly before approaching the carriage and speaking to the two ladies inside, "Ladies, the fool blocking the way has left."
"We are truly grateful to General Luo." A soft and lingering voice from the Great Princess ca from inside the carriage, endlessly pleasing to hear.
"Your Highness, no need for thanks. It’s my duty."
"Hmph, I thought he was going to be sothing formidable, but it turned out he’s just a coward, how boring." Yuxuan’s lazy voice emanated from the carriage. You couldn’t help but shake your head and smile bitterly. This girl really loved to stir up chaos.
While escorting the two ladies to the courtyard where they were staying, you noticed an exceedingly strong presence lurking around. These presences did not react to your and the ladies’ arrival; rather, they seed to be guarding the periters of the courtyard, presumably high-ranked experts sent by Li Shimin to protect the ladies.
After bidding farewell to the ladies, you rode back to your residence.
After you left, the Great Princess and Qin Yuxuan started discussing you in the inner chamber.
"Sister, all this roundabout way is quite troubleso." Qin Yuxuan began to complain about the Great Princess, "That man is just a blockhead; haven’t you noticed? When he looks at you, there’s not a ripple of desire—pure admiration and nothing more. Really, it frustrates ! I thought after seeing Sister’s beauty, he’d be head over heels and abandon those little fox fairies at ho."
The Great Princess, however, just shook her head with a smile, "You shouldn’t concoct stories about people like that, Sister. If he were the type you describe, you probably would’ve killed him with a sword already."
"True, but we can’t keep dragging things out like this. He seems impervious, and though he appears to have so admiration for Sister, he still maintains his distance. How much longer must we wait? Who knows, in a few days, we might hear news of those little fox fairies at his ho being pregnant. By then, Sister, you’d really be in a passive position."
The Great Princess remained calm about this, satisfied with your behavior. However, she harbored a knot in her heart—a knot that she would not reveal her identity to you unless untangled.
"Sister, tell , what exactly are you waiting for?" It seed Qin Yuxuan sensed sothing in the Great Princess’s heart, hitting the nail on the head.
The Great Princess sighed softly, "Honestly, I don’t know either. It’s as though a voice is telling not to get close to him."
"Who?"
"I don’t know."
"Oh, Sister! You are the Great Princess of the Tang Empire, and even His Highness the Emperor approves of your marriage. Who in the world could stop you two from being together? Don’t get cold feet now; if you miss this chance, you’ll regret it for life."
Qin Yuxuan seed embarrassed as the Great Princess stared straight at her, causing her to shyly lower her head and fidget, "Sister, why are you looking at like that?"
The Great Princess gently stroked Qin Yuxuan’s sleek, long hair, smiling, "Silly girl, if you truly have feelings for him, you should confess them. Why keep lingering around ?"
"I... I don’t have such feelings... I an, oh well! I’ll just say it; I must stay with Sister. If Sister gets married, so will I; if you decide to remain alone forever, then your sister will accompany you for life!" Qin Yuxuan’s face bore no trace of pretense; it seed she had made up her mind.
"Oh, why bother?"
Enigmatic beyond prediction were the depths of the Great Princess Li Lanyi’s heart. While she earnestly wished to throw herself into your robust arms, her heart was fraught with reservations, fears that the past might repeat itself.
