Chapter 862: The Engagement Banquet 2
Mo Long frowned, his expression slightly displeased: "Isn't that the most secure barrier gate? Why is there something unusual there?"
The guard respectfully replied, "Protector Mo Long, another guard discovered a young girl outside the barrier gate."
Mo Long and Yao Shuang exchanged a glance. The girl who appeared outside the barrier gate?
"Lead the way." Mo Long started walking.
Yao Shuang was somewhat surprised, but she followed Mo Long's steps.
Led by the guards, they arrived at the third barrier gate, where a girl lying on the ground came into view.
Beside the girl was another demon guard, his fish tail coiled up, carefully observing her.
Upon seeing Mo Long and Yao Shuang appear, the guards immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Protector!"
Yao Shuang raised her nose and sniffed lightly, exclaiming in surprise, "Human?!"
The girl lying on the ground was none other than Ye Fei, who had completely lost consciousness. Her face was slightly pale, and her eyes were tightly closed.
Mo Long crouched down, wanting to reach out and examine Ye Fei, but before his fingers could touch her clothes, a powerful spiritual energy reflected off the snakeskin cloak, striking Mo Long's hand like an inescapable lightning bolt!
Mo Long quickly stepped back, looking at his slightly trembling hands, his expression turning serious.
This is... the awe-inspiring power of a sacred beast!
The cloak she was wearing actually came from a sacred beast!
"Mo Long?!" Yao Shuang's expression changed. "Are you alright?!"
Mo Long put his hands behind his back, shook his head at Yao Shuang, and then turned his gaze to the demon guard: "Did you discover her?"
"Protector Mo Long, it was your subordinate who discovered this human girl."
"Tell me about the circumstances when you found her," Mo Long asked calmly.
The guard said, "I am the guard on duty at the third barrier gate today. At first, there was nothing unusual about the barrier gate, until soon after, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy and the roar of beasts."
"I believe there was a battle taking place at the barrier gate, but the battle didn't last long. After things calmed down, I tried to step out of the barrier gate to check the situation, and that's when I discovered this girl..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Shuang closed her eyes and slowly focused her mind. The icy blue spiritual energy flowed slowly around Ye Fei's body. After a moment, a bright red blood bead floated out, carried by the spiritual energy.
She reached out, took the drop of blood, smelled it, and squinted her eyes: "It's the blood of the Deep Sea Emperor Jiao!"
The guards were astonished. A Deep Sea Emperor Dragon?!
So... it was this human girl who was fighting the Deep Sea Emperor Jiao just now?
But the Deep Sea Emperor Jiao was extremely violent; it actually let the girl go and ran away on its own.
Yao Shuang turned her gaze to Mo Long: "Should we report this matter to His Highness?"
Mo Long shook his head: "Today's engagement banquet is especially important, and we cannot let this matter interfere with Your Highness."
After he finished speaking, he ordered the demon guards: "Imprison this girl in the sea dungeon first, and make a decision after the banquet."
The guard quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"
...
Yao Shuang had to continue patrolling the area, so she parted ways with Mo Long for the time being.
Mo Long returned to the palace alone and walked towards his bedchamber.
Outside the palace gate, Mo Long knocked on the door before pushing it open and entering.
There was no one inside, and the luminous pearl used for lighting had dimmed due to the lack of spiritual energy, making the entire palace dark and silent.
Mo Long looked around and raised an eyebrow: "His Highness is not here again?"
Suddenly, a small feather blade shot out from the dark corner and went straight for Mo Long!
