Ghost Face strutted around, wagging its tail and patting the ground with its paws: "Don't worry, Mistress, this matter is all right in Mianmian's hands. Mianmian guarantees that even if he's about to die, Mianmian will hold him back until you arrive, Mistress, before letting him breathe his last!"
Ji Fengyao: "..."
If someone is going to die, can you hold them back from dying?
If you have this ability, what do you need her as an alchemist and doctor for?
This dog is really good at bragging!
"Alright, just bring some snacks." Ji Fengyao was already used to this guy's flamboyant attitude. She turned around and walked out, saying, "Tomorrow we'll go to the capital first. After we've dealt with all the formalities in the palace, the Prince will send someone to pick you up."
"Okay, okay, it's fine if I pick you up later. Mianmian prefers to stay in the woods outside," Ghost Face said happily.
It's better if they don't come to pick you up!
That dilapidated city is surrounded by high walls on all four sides, built like a cage. What's so good about it?
Outside, under the open sky, the whole world belongs to it!
They don't know.
As Ji Fengyao got up to leave, a faint green light from the small tower on her wrist silently slipped into the man's clothes.
The light merged into the green mark on the man's chest, making it glow, just like when the mark between the black owl's brows was activated.
The next morning, as dawn broke.
A series of loud, high-pitched roars shattered the morning tranquility, waking most of Kyoto from their sleep and sending shivers down the spines of the city's long-time peace and quiet!
Then came the deafening sound of horns.
People then realized:
The Ninth Prince, who had been stationed and reorganizing his troops on the outskirts of the city, was finally about to enter the city!
Those roars of beasts must be the legendary beast army subdued by the Nine Kings creating momentum!
Good heavens!
This is an exciting, once-in-a-century event that you absolutely can't miss!
The enthusiasm for gossiping made a group of people in Kyoto jump out of bed quickly. Some didn't even have time to wash their faces, and ran towards the North Gate in their shoes and clothes, afraid that if they were too slow or arrived too late, they would miss out on a good spot in the front row.
Here in the woods on the outskirts of Beijing.
The vanguard infantry, all clad in light armor and fully armed, each wielding a red-tasseled spear, set off in high spirits and perfect formation.
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao followed closely behind in a carriage built according to the regulations of the royal palace.
The magpie and the white dew rode on either side of the carriage on their respective mounts.
Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, Wu Ying, Wu Hen, Wu Shang, Hu Ji, and others rode their respective demonic beast mounts behind the carriage.
Behind them were well-armed cavalrymen, as well as heavily guarded prison carts and carts carrying spoils of war.
The procession was vast and impressive, with bugles sounding and its momentum soaring to the sky. It was quite a sight!
The soldiers guarding Kyoto and the onlookers who had come to watch the spectacle were instantly filled with excitement and their blood boiled when they saw the scene from afar.
The Ninth Prince is still the Ninth Prince!
When we set out, we will surely conquer; when we conquer, we will surely win; and when we win, we will surely be victorious
Although the soldiers defending the city were not under the command of the Ninth Prince, they were filled with pride upon seeing the triumphant return. They immediately shouted joyfully, "Open the city gates! The Ninth Prince has returned to the capital in triumph! Open the city gates! The Ninth Prince has returned to the capital in triumph!"
Two teams of soldiers immediately ran down from the city wall and quickly opened the half-open city gate to allow the Ninth Prince's army to pass through smoothly without any hindrance.
The early onlookers saw Shang Xi's carriage by his side.
The large group of people rode mounts that were either imposing or adorable, all quite different from what they had imagined, and they were all filled with curiosity.
