Huh?!
Baili Ruyan and so princes were watching Mang Qianjun’s military inspection, and upon hearing his words, they were imdiately drenched in cold sweat. Was this really how to inspect soldiers?
But the soldiers, who were just listless monts ago, suddenly beca spirited, shouting loudly, "We will fight bravely and ensure the enemy has no return!" Then co back to gaze at beauties, eat good at, and drink fine wine! The last part wasn’t said out loud, but their expressions had completely betrayed their thoughts.
"Really..." Baili Ruyan watched the stark contrast before and after, speechless.
Mang Qianjun turned to look at Baili Ruyan and said, "I’m leaving, you must be careful in the Royal Palace. Watch out for the eleventh Prince and the others."
Baili Ruyan nodded, "I know. You take care! And protect Qianye. I’ll wait for you to return."
"I will," Mang Qianjun replied.
Dingdong, standing behind him, looked at Baili Ruyan, wanting to tell her to stay safe. He moved his lips but said nothing.
Baili Ruyan helped Mang Qianjun don his battle robe, then took out a black battle robe, went over to Dingdong, draped it over him, tied it securely, and said, "Stay safe."
Dingdong hadn’t expected Baili Ruyan to help him with his battle robe, and he was stunned. It wasn’t until she spoke that he ca to his senses and replied, "You too, Princess."
"Yes. I’ll be waiting for you and my brother," said Baili Ruyan.
Not far away, Qin Wushuang and Qie Yue said their goodbyes. Qie Yue had previously offered to escort her back, but in the end, she declined, choosing to stay and accompany him. Although she wanted to go with them this ti, it was too dangerous, so she remained behind with Baili Ruyan.
Hei Zi watched the two reluctant to part, surprised that Qie Yue had indeed found a woman. He glanced at the dusky sky, feeling lancholic that the forr trio of bachelors was now down to just him. He contemplated whether he should also go find soone—after all, he had been single for many years and had had his fill of it. Perhaps it was ti to seek a bond.
"Let’s go," Mang Qianjun called out, leading Qin Wushuang, Qie Yue, and Hei Zi with the army, rushing toward the eighteenth level of Endless Hell.
Once they passed the eleventh layer, a person who had been guarding nearby to gather intelligence imdiately reported the information to the eleventh Prince, and soon an army set out towards the first layer...
Inside the eighteenth layer, Dugu Qianye received the news that Yong Xing and Mang Qianjun were both leading people here, anxiously awaiting news from Fla One.
"Little Yeye, there’s news," Zi Xiao entered from outside and said to Dugu Qianye.
"Have they found the Little Black Pearl?" Dugu Qianye had been chatting with Nangong Feifei, but stood up from her chair upon hearing Zi Xiao’s words.
Zi Xiao nodded, "Fla One has sent a ssage, saying that Qiao Huang has gone a million li southwest and dove underground. The Dark Spiritual Bead should be there."
"Then we leave now to rendezvous with Fla One," Dugu Qianye said.
"Okay."
Zi Xiao led Dugu Qianye, with Hao Pengyou holding onto Nangong Feifei. Together with a few Hidden Guards, they mounted Xiaohuo and flew in the direction Zi Xiao had ntioned.
"Qianjun said Yong Xing has already led his people to the eighteenth layer of Endless Hell. I hope we can find the Little Black Pearl before he arrives," Dugu Qianye said.
"Don’t worry, even if he cos, he won’t be a match for us," Zi Xiao said confidently.
Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "My intuition tells that if we don’t find the Little Black Pearl, we won’t be able to beat him."
Although he didn’t know why Dugu Qianye had such an intuition, he still tended to believe her. "Then we should speed up."
"Yes." Dugu Qianye ordered Xiaohuo to increase its speed.
Only then did Hao Pengyou realize the trouble he had brought upon Dugu Qianye and the others by exposing their tracks in order to save himself. Looking at Dugu Qianye, he said, "I’m sorry, Little Sister. It’s all my fault... If it weren’t for ..."
"Senior Brother, if I had seen you in danger and not saved you, I would have died of guilt," Dugu Qianye said. "The situation is just a bit critical now, it’s not to the point where we can’t resolve it. Don’t bla yourself."
Xiaohuo accelerated, and soon they arrived at the place Yan Yi had ntioned. From afar, they saw Yan Yi and several mbers of the Fla Army waiting for them in a swamp.
"Yan Yi, where’s Qiao Huang?" Dugu Qianye flew next to them and asked.
Yan Yi and his companions saluted towards Zi Xiao and the others, answering, "Qiao Huang went underground after arriving here. We sent people to check it out, and below is a maze. We looked for a long ti and couldn’t find him, so we had to return the way we ca and wait here."
Dugu Qianye looked at the dark swamp and said, "The Fire Spirit Pearl senses that the Little Black Pearl is indeed here, we should go down now..." Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly looked up at the sky and threw a few Spiritual Pearls into the swamp.
Zi Xiao moved next to her, subtly shielding her with his body.
"Little Sister, what’s wrong?" Hao Pengyou, seeing Dugu Qianye’s tense appearance, asked, "Is it Yong Xing who has co?"
Dugu Qianye nodded her head. The air in the sky rippled for a mont, and Yong Xing appeared before them with Qiong Qi and others.
Yong Xing looked at the stunning woman beside Zi Xiao and knew her identity without guessing. She had the sa air of transcendence and resemblance to the way she was. However, now she carried human emotions and understood the love, hate, and all the affairs of the world—unlike her previous detachnt from the mundane. Such a breathtaking figure, why had he never noticed her existence before, allowing her to grow to this extent?
"What should I call you? Creator God? Sister?"
"My na is Dugu Qianye. Surely you haven’t forgotten?"
"Unwilling to accept your identity?" Yong Xing said mockingly.
Dugu Qianye and Zi Xiao flew into the air, confronting Yong Xing. Hearing his words, she suddenly laughed and said, "The identity of the Creator God? I am now Dugu Qianye, not the Creator God. I have feelings she didn’t, and I’ve experienced things she never went through. I am her, yet I am not her!"
"If you wish to beco her, why seek the Five Elents Spiritual Pearls? Why restore her powers?" Yong Xing asked.
"When there’s a dog chasing behind, naturally I have to run forward," Dugu Qianye said, looking at Yong Xing, obviously implying he was the dog.
"Indeed, you are not her. She would never speak such piercing words," Yong Xing said sadly. "If you’re willing to give up the Dark Spiritual Bead and destroy the Five Elents Spiritual Pearls, I am willing to let you off."
"Let off?" Dugu Qianye laughed. "If you really would let off, why did you attack in the first place? And why would you bring so many people today? If I truly destroyed the Spiritual Pearls, do you think you would keep your word?"
"Hehe, you have beco smarter," Yong Xing said. "Before, no matter what we said, you wouldn’t believe it. Even if it was full of loopholes, you wouldn’t consider what was wrong. You were convinced that everyone was kind, and that this world was a beautiful place. But look, you created the Endless Hell. You didn’t want to see them, so you never ca here! You said you love every creature in the world, but do you love them? Where is your so-called fair treatnt? No! You weren’t fair at all!"
