With the help of the Qingyun Flying Feather, Mu Hanyan was a hundred feet away in just a few takeoffs and landings. The two violent stone monsters were still chasing her closely behind.
"What are you doing? Let me go, let me go." Yue Xiuming suddenly woke up from his dream and yelled at Mu Hanyan in frustration.
"Oh, okay." Mu Hanyan threw him to the ground.
Yue Xiuming was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the violent stone monster roaring and getting closer and closer behind him. He was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Help, help." Yue Xiuming didn't know where he got the strength from, he jumped up from the ground and chased after him crying and howling.
Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, grabbed Yue Xiuming's neck with her backhand and continued to run away.
Yue Xiuming was quite obedient at first, but later he started to act squirm.
"What do you want to do now? Do you still want me to let you go?" Mu Hanyan said impatiently.
"No, no," Yue Xiuming quickly denied. Galloping along, they were at least a hundred miles from the town, with two ferocious stone beasts hot on their heels. If Mu Hanyan abandoned him, he would be hopeless, with no other solution but death.
"What I actually want to say is, can you please stop holding my neck? I'm not a kitten or a puppy. If someone sees me, it will damage my reputation as the Prince of Anxi." Seeing that Mu Hanyan didn't say anything, Yue Xiuming spoke cautiously again.
Not to mention, at this moment Yue Xiuming was holding his head down and his legs curled up, and Mu Hanyan was holding him by the neck, just like she was holding a kitten or puppy.
"Then do you want me to hold you?" Mu Hanyan said unhappily. What reputation did he have? A idiot dude like him didn't have much reputation. Besides, who would see him in this wilderness?
"That's not good. It's forbidden for men and women to touch each other. If it gets out, it will ruin my reputation." Yue Xiu said righteously, and then added thoughtfully, "But the situation is critical, so I don't blame you."
"Bang." As soon as the words fell, Yue Xiuming was thrown to the ground by Mu Hanyan, and his head was covered with bruises.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. Mu Hanyan suddenly felt that she should just throw this guy directly to the violent stone monster to vent her anger.
"No, I was wrong, don't leave me." Yue Xiuming let out a pig-slaughtering scream and crawled after him.
"Sit down." Mu Hanyan shouted.
Yue Xiuming seemed to be under a spell, and he froze in his tracks before sitting down on the ground, looking pitifully at Mu Hanyan. Needless to say, he really looked like a well-behaved, obedient big yellow dog.
Seeing him like this, Mu Hanyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It had to be said that this foolish and dissolute young prince was quite practical.
"Did you get rid of those two guys?" Yue Xiuming asked tentatively, realizing that the two violent stone beasts were no longer behind him.
Mu Hanyan didn't say anything. Although the two violent stone beasts had been left far behind, with her keen senses, she could still hear the approaching footsteps and roars. It was obvious that they had not given up.
"Mu Hanyan, although you are an envoy of Anyun, you dare to disrespect me and use me as bait. When we return to the capital, I will report this matter to His Majesty. Then, let's see what happens..." Seeing that Mu Hanyan didn't say anything, Yue Xiuming thought he had really gotten rid of the two violent stone beasts, and he started to tremble again.
He was a fool, but he wasn't an idiot. After a moment's reflection, he realized that Mu Hanyan was using him as bait to lure away the violent stone monster. He gnashed his teeth in hatred. But he hadn't considered that if Mu Hanyan hadn't intervened in time and pulled him out like a chicken, he wouldn't even have had the chance to be used as bait.
"You're right, then we have no choice but to kill him to silence him." Before he could finish his words, he heard Mu Hanyan say thoughtfully.
"Mu... Lord Mu, Miss Mu... Sister Mu, I am so grateful to you for saving me earlier. When I return to the capital, I will report to the emperor and reward you handsomely." Yue Xiuming was unable to tremble at once, and said to Mu Hanyan with a flattering smile.
In this desolate wilderness, what if Mu Hanyan really killed him to silence him and then pushed the blame onto the violent stone monster? Who would know how he died, and who would be able to make the final decision for him? The more Xiuming thought about it, the more chilled and frightened he became. How could he dare to speak out?
From Mu Hanyan to Lord Mu, then to Miss Mu, and finally to Sister Mu, Mu Hanyan felt a wave of nausea and vomiting, and she had some doubts in her heart. Was this guy really the Prince of Anxi, the future little prince? Could he have been picked up?
Of course, there are also some fools and playboys among the royal family, but at least they have some integrity as royal family members. Who has ever seen such a shameless person? He has brought shame to the entire Shangyue royal family.
"Sit down!" Mu Hanyan glared at him unhappily.
Yue Xiuming, who was about to come over to please her, quickly stopped, sat down where he was, and looked at Mu Hanyan with a flattering look on his face.
"It's strange, why has the power of your divine beast become ineffective?" Mu Hanyan ignored Yue Xiuming and said to Taowu who had been following her side with a grunt.
"I guess it's possible that other powerful divine beasts had their spiritual imprint in their blood forcibly erased, otherwise they would never have ignored my divine beast's majesty." Taowu guessed.
"Other divine beasts..." Mu Hanyan frowned.
The reason the Violent Stone Demon Beasts feared Taowu's divine beast power was because of the spiritual imprint passed down through generations in their bloodlines. Only a beast of Taowu's caliber could erase it. However, as far as Mu Hanyan knew, those legendary beasts had long since vanished from the Holy Court Continent. Only two remained: the Taowu before them, and the Qiongqi who accompanied Xia Youchen.
Could it be Qiongqi? After thinking about it, Mu Hanyan rejected this guess. Qiongqi, who was resurrected by a piece of the bones of a mythical beast, is not as strong as Taowu. He should not be able to do this. Besides, there is no need for this.
If it wasn't Qiongqi, could it be the Aolai beast? Mu Hanyan's mind flashed with the majestic figure of the Aolai beast, as well as its eyes that seemed a little empty, a little confused, yet filled with vicissitudes and sadness.
"Roar..." Before Mu Hanyan could come up with a conclusion, the violent roar of the violent stone monster came from not far away.
Mu Hanyan didn't hesitate, standing up and preparing to flee. Taowu's divine beast power had been ineffective, and she didn't think she could contend with two violent stone beasts.
"Master Mu, Miss Mu, Sister Mu, wait for me, wait for me." Yue Xiuming crawled over and stretched his neck pitifully.
He had been severely injured earlier, and the elixirs he had brought with him had turned to dust along with his shattered armor. After a brief period of recuperation, he could move like a normal person, but recovering his strength was impossible. Of course, even if his strength was fully restored, facing the violent stone monster would still be a dead end.
