Princess Jin seed more concerned about disintegrating the falling debris than trying to find a way out. Of course, it wasn’t like William knew what she was thinking, so that could just be what it looked like from his point of view.
He was completely helpless, with everything depending on what the princess did next. She was holding him in her arms so tightly that the most he could move was his head. Still, even that was limited due to the sudden changes in speed the princess made as she went on a rry destruction spree. Likely having fun with her newly gifted cultivation.
William had experienced plenty of tis in this world when he was powerless. The demonic cultivators that had been about to sacrifice him to get that woman a slight boost in cultivation. Daoist Chen effortlessly making an illusion so realistic that it might as well be reality itself. Lan Yin slicing off Cao Rui’s body in half due to his thoughtlessness and cowardice.
There were many more that could be listed, but sohow, having Princess Jin have him in a princess carry nearly topped all of that.
William narrowed his eyes when he saw a small movent in the void, his sha quickly forgotten as he smiled widely.
“Princess!” William said with excitent, “We’re saved!”
“Huh?” Princess Jin casually extended the Qi shroud to vaporize a mass of vines near them, “What do you an?”
He took a mont to be envious of the princess’s imperious look. Clearly, she didn’t care about the ceiling crumbling above them. Nor the familiar void that was the cause of the deterioration.
William had initially thought it was more trouble, hence his fear, but that changed when he saw the faint outline of a little turtle appear briefly. He only wished the turtle would succeed instead of causing more problems like last ti.
“Don’t do anything that’ll make it angry,” William warned before pointing up, “Your ancestor’s creation is here to get us out.”
He saw Princess Jin frown in confusion before looking to where he was pointing.
“What do you an by crea… THE TURTLE?”
William was gaping in surprise, along with Princess Jin. The Lord Paddlington he knew was a tiny, foolish-looking thing, which made it easy for him to forget the power it contained. That beca near impossible when, for so reason, the size of the turtle changed dramatically.
When Princess Jin looked up, it had been at the perfect ti to see Lord Paddlington’s face staring down at them. Only, it was no longer in the tiny form that looked harmless. Its face spanned the entire width of the void, which had expanded to take up every bit of the space the ceiling had to offer.
Even though William was fairly confident Lord Paddlington ant to help them, it didn’t stop his heart from skipping a beat in fear. It wasn’t looking at them with its signature gummy smile. There was a severe look on its face. Another thing that he never expected to see on the turtle.
“Is this the sa thing that dropped here?” Princess Jin’s Qi flared around her before she took out her bow and pointed it at Lord Paddlington.
“What are you doing?!” William hissed, “Even if that heart made you stronger, I can assure you that it is far beyond you!”
Princess Jin scoffed, “You think so? Watch this.”
“What the hell!” William yelped as he shut his eyes, turning away from the bow to avoid the searing light from blinding him. The arrow her Qi created looked like it could demolish a large city block, more similar to an artillery attack instead of sothing from a tiny bow.
The fact that Princess Jin’s bow could handle the power of her new cultivation realm shocked him almost as much as her audacity in trying to attack Lord Paddlington. Her family must have strongly believed in her future to give such a weapon to a cultivator in the Qi Gathering Realm.
Too bad that belief didn’t take into account the princess going stupid once she got so power.
“I DO NOT HAVE TI FOR THIS.”
William felt like his ears exploded from the sheer loudness of Lord Paddlington’s voice. He had thought the Seedling was loud, but at least the way it communicated was with so sort of telepathy. Lord Paddlington definitely did not.
He opened his eyes when Princess Jin let out a pained grunt to see a massive flipper reaching down from above. As if that wasn’t alarming enough, seeing Princess Jin fighting against the suppression she was obviously feeling, if the dimd Qi signified anything, made him want to smack her head for being foolish.
“Princess!” William yelled over the roaring Qi around them, “Back down! It doesn’t an any harm!”
He was ignored. He could only watch helplessly as she used the bow and bolts made of Qi struck the flipper with thunderous cracks.
“YOU WERE FORCEFULLY LIFTED INTO YOUR REALM. THIS WILL NOT HARM CORE FORMATION WEAKLINGS, LET ALONE ONE SUCH AS .”
William almost fainted from the length of that sentence. If Lord Paddlington’s personality stayed true to what he experienced, it was playing with the princess. Talking when unnecessary was the definition of wasting ti.
When Princess Jin still seed resolved to resist till the end, and the turtle’s flipper sohow slowed its descent, he had to say sothing to save his ears and sanity.
“Lord Paddlington!” William yelled from the princess’s arms, “Take us out of here!”
Princess Jin looked at him, almost as if she was betrayed.
“FINE. RUIN MY FUN. I SUPPOSE IT IS NEARLY TI FOR THE ABOMINATION TO SURFACE.”
William saw the massive flipper disappear, showing a regular-sized Lord Paddlington waving at them with a gummy smile. The next thing they knew, a void opened beneath them.
Princess Jin tried to use her new cultivation to fly away, but her inexperience, along with the void dragging them in, made that impossible. He was happy about that. He didn’t bla her distrust of the turtle, and honestly, he didn’t trust it either, but it was better than being stuck.
They dropped into the void, and the next instant, they were standing on a very familiar surface. After dealing with a fiery hell followed by endless dark tunnels, the desert seed akin to paradise.
“Er, could you let down?” William asked after a second when he found himself stuck in the princess’s arms.
Princess Jin almost dropped him as she glared. “So you actually knew the turtle.”
“Obviously,” William said, pleased to use his legs again, “I wouldn’t have told you to stop attacking it otherwise. It’s not like I wanted to die after all the work I did to keep us alive.”
Princess Jin stared a little longer before sighing. “I apologize for not listening. The only thing I could think of was how it took away from my conversation with the ancestor.”
William pressed his lips thin to avoid smiling and clenched his hands. Even though the princess seed a little silly, especially if her previous foolishness of attacking the turtle was considered, she was now soone with far higher cultivation. It wasn’t wise to tousle her hair like he wished to.
“It’s alright,” he waved her off, “Lord Paddlington didn’t seem to mind.”
“So… Lord Paddlington, was it?”
William shared a smile with her. It was a ridiculous na, no matter how strong the turtle was.
“It is indeed Lord Paddlington. A na that my master gifted .”
He stiffened, his smile quickly vanishing as he warned the princess to relax with his eyes. However, he assud she didn't get his hint when she grabbed him and tossed him away.
