Upon hearing this, the one-eyed man subconsciously swallowed hard. Luckily, he chickened out and didn't have any malicious intentions; otherwise, this man might have crushed him in a fit of rage.
He led them skillfully around a small patch of bushes. After emerging from the bushes, they could hear chattering voices, and a neat lawn came into view. On the lawn, at least fifty or sixty people were sitting and talking, while some had set up racks with meat from spirit beasts on them.
A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Qian Youxue smacked her lips; the smell was simply too tempting. She had eaten plenty of roasted spirit beast meat with Wuxie when they hunted them before, and it tasted far better than ordinary meat.
"Sir, are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat." The one-eyed man was quite adept at reading people's expressions.
Um!
Qian Youxue subconsciously responded, but quickly came to her senses. She wasn't there to be a glutton. So, she raised her head, rejecting the idea in her mind: "Stop with the tricks, go see your king!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that the flattery was too much, the one-eyed man could only obediently lead the way.
However, as soon as they stepped onto the lawn, some people noticed their presence. Firstly, outsiders were generally not allowed to enter this area, and secondly, the thing Qian Youxue was carrying was too conspicuous.
That was the king's treasure, tied up to a tree branch with all its glove and paws. Who has ever seen such a scene?
Also, the one-eyed dragon was used to being domineering here, and there were quite a few people who wanted him dead. Before they could go to see the king, the little rascals went instead.
"What did you say? Little Wu has been kidnapped?" Inside the cabin, Baal, who had been looking at a map, listened incredulously to the servants' report, his face turning ashen.
They all knew Xiao Wu's abilities; a black eagle capable of commanding spirit beasts was one in ten thousand. Xiao Wu was not only her pet, but also his pride.
He stood up and picked up the longsword lying beside him: "Let's go take a look!"
Qian Youxue hadn't taken more than a few steps when she noticed the strange looks around her, all ready for a fight. She tossed the branch on her shoulder to the ground and lazily sat down on a large rock.
Cluck cluck...cluck cluck cluck...
Little Wu was thrown to the ground and howled in pain. When he opened his eyes and found that he was in his base camp, his original fear subsided a lot.
"One-Eyed Dragon, not bad, you brought back a few women. The King will surely be pleased." A tall, dark-skinned man walked over from not far away. These two had always been at odds. Hearing that Xiao Wu had been kidnapped, they put down what they were doing and came to watch the show.
Upon seeing Dahei, One-Eyed Dragon's expression darkened. His eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Qian Youxue, whispering, "Master, you must be careful. This Dahei is very sinister."
"Oh, how is it so strange?" Qian Youxue asked curiously.
"Don't look into his eyes, they can hypnotize you." The one-eyed man had thus revealed his loyalty, even exposing his companion's abilities.
Besides its ability to hypnotize, Dahei also has excellent hearing. Hearing the one-eyed dragon flattering him like this, he immediately became angry and struck Qian Youxue with a palm imbued with spiritual power.
Seeing this, Yunhe quickly caught the palm strike, easily raised his hand, and Dahei's body flew several meters away in a very arc before crashing into a small wooden house not far away.
Clang!
The cabin collapsed, and several thugs rushed out and quickly helped Big Black up from the ground.
Pfft! Pfft!
Big Black coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, pointing at Yunhe with a face full of fear: "She...she..."
What the hell!
Where did the one-eyed dragon get such a terrifying person? Big Black is a level six Martial Spirit, yet he was sent flying with a single palm strike.
Baal, who had just emerged, witnessed this scene, his mouth forming an "O" shape. Then, looking at the man clapping his hands next to the silver-masked figure, he gasped, scurried over to Yunhe, and knelt down with a thud.
Goodness!
What's going on here?
Fifty or sixty people stood up at the sight and gathered around.
"Baal greets Miss Yunhe. Please forgive me for offending Miss Yunhe!" Baal prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to Yunhe.
“Baal!” Yunhe recognized Baal at a glance and frowned slightly.
"Are you two very familiar with each other?" Qian Youxue asked casually.
Yunhe snapped out of his daze and looked at his master, saying, "Yes, Master, we know each other very well."
master?
Baal looked up in surprise at Qian Youxue, who was wearing a silver mask. It was clear that this was not the young master's voice. Yunhe had sided with someone else.
"Get up, let's find somewhere to talk." Yunhe knew that Baal had many questions in his heart, and she had quite a few questions as well.
Baal, a level eight Martial Spirit, codenamed "Fox," is ranked among the top ten on the bounty hunter list. Besides his extremely high spiritual power and comprehension, most importantly, he is born with a natural understanding of the language of spirit beasts.
Several years ago, during an assassination mission, he was severely wounded by his opponent and was on the verge of death when he was rescued by Yunhe. He also received medical treatment from Wuxie, which not only allowed him to survive but also prevented him from suffering any lasting effects from the injury.
He always kept in mind the life-saving grace. Unfortunately, when he wanted to follow Wu Xie, Wu Xie refused him outright, and afterwards, they disappeared without a trace.
Coming to his senses, he stood up, gestured for him to enter, and turned to the one-eyed dragon, instructing, "Go, bring up the best wine and dishes. This is a distinguished guest whom even I, the Great King, could not invite. I will reward you with some good things later."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away." One-Eyed Dragon felt like he had turned misfortune into blessing, and he was so happy he couldn't stop grinning.
After flattering the king, he glanced at the pitiful little black dog and walked up to Qian Youxue, pleading, "Grandma, could you please untie little black dog first?"
Little Black looked like it was about to cry. It had thought that its owner would stand up for it when it returned to its own territory. Instead, its owner knelt down before the man, and now it was really in trouble.
Qian Youxue raised the corners of her mouth and tossed a porcelain bottle to the one-eyed dragon: "Put it in water and let it soak for half an hour."
"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Grandma!" One-Eyed Dragon bowed and scraped as he took the porcelain bottle, then hurriedly went up to untie Little Black from the tree branch.
After being untied, Xiao Hei blurted out, "That's fucking ruthless! I'll kill her sooner or later!"
Qian Youxue had only taken two steps when she heard this and turned her head to look. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She glanced at Mei'er and tossed her a bottle: "Sister Mei'er, its fur is an eyesore. Plucking it out! This stuff is used like an antidote."
"Pull...pull it out!" Little Black opened its mouth, looking at its owner with a face full of fear.
Baal dared not speak carelessly in front of Yunhe. Leaving aside the fact that Yunhe's spiritual power could easily crush him, the poison from Medicine King Valley alone could kill him at any moment. Someone even Yunhe dared not offend—who knew just how noble her status was?
Little Black, good luck to you!
He reluctantly turned his gaze away and led them toward the wooden house not far away.
