After that move, I thought I could defeat Yue Jiao, but I had clearly underestimated my opponent. Although Yue Jiao was in a sorry state and had several wounds, he was not seriously injured.
Yuejiao's peach blossom eyes were now staring at me coldly, a dangerous and alluring smirk playing on her lips. "Baby, come out."
As soon as Yue Jiao finished speaking, a violent tremor shook the arena, as if something was about to burst out of the ground. A huge, round, black behemoth emerged from the ground, resembling a mutated man-eating flower. In the center was a bottomless maw, surrounded by dark fangs. There were about seven or eight such heads connected together, forming a terrifying creature whose nature was unknown.
I blinked, feeling a bit dazed. Faced with such a terrifying creature, my legs were trembling uncontrollably. The creature was standing right in front of me and bit me without saying a word. I quickly dodged, and the spot where I had just been standing was instantly bitten into a huge crater by the creature.
Before I could even observe and analyze, another head lunged at me...
I kept casting spells to dodge, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Yuejiao standing leisurely, watching me with great interest as I kept dodging. If this continued, I would lose. I didn't want to be eaten by that ugly thing. I couldn't help but touch the Phoenix Flute at my waist. Well, I'll take a gamble!
I quickly took the Phoenix Flute from my waist, put it to my lips and blew it. The Phoenix Flute also has a function of confusing people's minds and controlling their bodies. Although this monster is terrifying, its mind is hazy, so it is not difficult to control it.
I channeled all my spiritual energy into the flute, and the melodious, ethereal sound of the flute slowly drifted toward the monster. Upon hearing my flute music, the monster indeed slowed down and gradually stopped.
While I was controlling the monster by playing the Phoenix Flute, I was also on guard against Yue Jiao, fearing that he might suddenly come up with some unexpected tricks. Ever since Yue Jiao saw me play the Phoenix Flute, he did not take any action. Instead, he stared at the flute in my hand and carefully examined me, looking thoughtful.
Oh no, have we been discovered? I wondered to myself, looking at Yue Jiao's expression.
"I concede." Yue Jiao stared at me for a long time with a slightly meaningful look in her eyes, then left with these words. As Yue Jiao left, the monster slowly sank back into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
What's going on? I put away my flute, puzzled. Did he recognize me? That shouldn't be possible. The Abyss is full of all kinds of evil demons and monsters, and I am their sworn enemy. If he knew it was me, why would he try every means to capture me? Why would he just leave?
"Congratulations to this hero on his victory! He will become the next city lord of Lingcheng!" The city lord of Lingcheng had thought that Yue Jiao would definitely cause a huge uproar, but he was surprised that Yue Jiao left directly.
I was so preoccupied with why Yuejiao had suddenly conceded defeat and left that I didn't even notice the barbarian city lord holding my hand and talking to me, or the enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
"I know, he must have gone to gather his subordinates!" I thought for a long time and finally came up with the explanation for Yuejiao's strange reaction. Only this reason makes sense.
"Son-in-law, what are you saying?"
"Huh?" I came to my senses and found that the barbarian city lord was holding my hand and raising me up, with cheers erupting from below the stage. What was going on?
"Are you getting too excited? Hahaha, with a hero like him to be my daughter, I can finally rest easy." The barbarian city lord looked me over with satisfaction, becoming more and more pleased with me, and even his face turned rosy.
"I..." Oh no, how am I going to get out of here?
"Jiao'er, Jiao'er, come here." The barbarian city lord beckoned to Jiao'er, who was below the stage.
"Ah, Father, I'm here." Man Jiao'er stared blankly in the direction Yue Jiao had just left, and it took her a while to respond.
"My dear, this is the husband your father has chosen for you. From now on, you and Lingcheng are entrusted to him."
What? There's a Spirit City too? This barbarian city lord is incredibly audacious. He can trust someone like me, whose origins are unknown...
