The palm strike that Zi Manqing had just delivered made Ruoruo tremble, but she was not actually harmed.
Just as she was about to be corrupted by demonic energy, the silver embroidered patterns on the sleeves she had draped over her head suddenly came to life.
The silver threads used for decoration suddenly transformed into runes, forming an array. Powerful silver spiritual energy burst forth from the array, completely devouring the demonic energy.
A barrier appeared on Ruoruo's body, protecting her secretly.
"It's Big Brother's formation." Mo Xuanshuang breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around menacingly, "Zi Manqing, how could you do such a shameless thing! You ambushed Ruoruo!"
Zi Manqing, who had finally managed to extinguish the Phoenix True Fire, completely ignored Mo Xuanshuang.
She was wrapped in a magical cloak by Lin Ye, and her body was protected by the magical robe, so she was relatively unharmed. However, her face was burned like charcoal, and the hideous scars were twisted and terrifying.
As soon as the fire stopped, the blood that had been burned dry started flowing out again.
She screamed at Lin Ye, "My face! Give me a mirror, give me a mirror now!"
Lin Ye didn't move. In the chaos, she conjured a water mirror and screamed as she looked at the wound on her face: "Mo Jinyan! How dare you hurt my face!"
Her once delicate and pretty face now resembles a hideous demon.
Mo Jinyan usually backs down and pushes things onto Mo Xuanshuang, but this time his bottom line has been crossed. Flames still flicker on the tips of his feathers: "You dare to hurt my younger sister! I only regret that my skills are not good enough to burn you to death. Now your face and your ugly mind are a perfect match!"
"Kill them! Lin Ye, kill them!" Zi Manqing stumbled and couldn't even get up. She could only scream hysterically, her hoarse voice ordering Lin Ye.
"How dare you!" At this moment, Ruoruo, who was being protected within the barrier and imbued with spiritual energy, finally opened her eyes.
She slowly transformed into human form, the wooden sword hovering in the air, radiating a brilliant spiritual light. She picked up the wooden sword and lightly swung it in the direction of Zi Manqing.
The sword light pierced through the air, and the chilling sword intent pressed down on Zi Manqing, making it impossible for her to lift her head.
Lin Ye used his innate secret technique, his body suddenly growing larger and forming a shield in front of Zi Manqing.
The sword's edge slammed into the snake shield with a whoosh, piercing through the hard scales and tearing through flesh, before finally being blocked by the snake's bones.
With a single sword strike, Black Serpent Lin Ye, who could have fought Mo Xuan Shuang to a draw without even using his innate secret techniques, was severely injured!
“Zi Manqing, I told you, you are not allowed to insult my family again, and you are not allowed to try to harm them.” Ruoruo raised the wooden sword, her eyes cold. “I will kill you before you can do it.”
"Your Highness, your injuries are too severe, and Prince Lin Ye has already fainted. Let's leave first and return to the Demon Palace so that the Demon Physician can treat your wounds," the demon cub advised Zi Manqing.
Zi Manqing was both angry and anxious, and slapped him across the face: "Since when has this prince needed you to teach me how to do things? Get out of my way."
The cub's eyes were red, and it lowered its head, not daring to speak again.
Zi Manqing grabbed Lin Ye, who was severely injured and had turned back into a small black snake, and looked at Yan Ruoruo and Mo Xuanshuang with a gloomy and resentful gaze: "I will definitely report today's events to my father and seek justice for my demon race. Your immortal realm has gone too far."
"You attacked me, Your Highness, and the Immortal Realm will not let this go. Let your father come if he wants." Yan Ruoruo was not intimidated at all.
Zi Manqing snorted and staggered out, leaving a trail of blood dripping down her path.
The demon cubs all followed Zi Manqing.
The fox-girl said meaningfully, "The demon race is quite united."
They are also very xenophobic.
Classmates from the same academy, just because they belong to the same clan, are not like classmates, but more like servants.
As soon as Zi Manqing left, Ruoruo's wooden sword fell to the ground with a thud, and she sat down on the ground and started chugging pills one bottle after another.
"Ruoruo!" The little white tiger rushed over anxiously. "What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?"
Ruoruo raised her head, her round eyes watery, looking extremely pitiful: "Waaah, I was so angry just now that I used too much force, and that sword strike used up all my spiritual power. I almost couldn't help but turn into a beast."
How embarrassing it would be if I turned into a beast after swinging my sword in front of Zi Manqing!
Mo Jinyan flapped his wings and barely managed to climb onto her shoulder using his claws: "It's good that you're alright. Has your spiritual power recovered? You scared your brother to death just now."
Ruoruo blinked: "It's recovered, and it seems like I've made a contract with this sword."
"You contracted a wooden sword for teaching purposes?" Xin Yi, who had just rushed over, was worried about the bloodstains at the door when she heard Ruo Ruo's words, and her heart skipped a beat.
“Yes.” Ruoruo rolled up her sleeve, showing the sword pattern on it, which was exactly the same as the sword pattern on the hilt of this wooden sword, both being green silk grass.
Xin Yi's vision went black, and she asked again, "Then what is this blood...?"
“It belongs to Zi Manqing and Lin Ye,” Ruoruo replied obediently.
Clinging to her last glimmer of hope, Xin Yi asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you get a scrape?"
"No, that's not it." Ruoruo tilted her head and revealed an incredibly obedient smile. "Zi Manqing was burned by Second Brother's Phoenix True Fire, and Lin Ye was almost cut in half by my sword."
Xin Yi staggered, clutching the doorframe and her heart, and said through gritted teeth, "School's out early today! I'm informing your elders to come pick you up. Xuanwu God, wake up!!"
Teacher Xuanwu: "Snoring..."
Ruoruo frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears: "Teacher, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a bit?"
Looking into the little girl's innocent, clear eyes, Xin Yi numbly closed her own: "I feel extremely comfortable right now..."
Within a single day, the demon princess and the demon prince were severely injured; judging from the description, their injuries may have even been fatal.
The fairy princess hadn't even touched the top-tier immortal swords in the God Lord's Sword Tomb when she inexplicably contracted an ordinary wooden sword used for teaching.
Any one of these things could be fatal.
"Teacher, I'll ask for leave for Ruoruo first. We probably won't be coming tomorrow," Mo Jinyan said after thinking for a moment.
Xin Yi twitched the corner of her mouth: "Why?"
“Zi Manqing said that the Immortal Realm is bullying people too much and that she should report to her father to get justice for her. But she attacked Ruoruo when she made a contract with her, so we should also report to our father to get justice for us.” Mo Jinyan wisely left out the rest of his sentence.
When the two rulers learned of this, even for the sake of their clans' reputation, they could not let it go. The two sides would inevitably confront each other, and it was unknown how long this would take.
With a bang, the door frame and the door itself turned to dust under Xin Yi's hands.
Mo Jinyan cautiously took two steps back, hiding behind Mo Xuanshuang and peeking out cautiously: "Teacher, are you alright?"
Xin Yi wiped the blood from the corner of her lips: "I'm perfectly fine!"
She just didn't want to do it anymore.
