“Chuling!” Feng Tianlan called Chuling over to look at the map. She showed her all of the places where she needed a few of the men to go, then commanded her, “Go and tell them.”
Chuling took the map and walked over to the secret guards. “Brother Secret Guard…”
“Miss Chuling, you don’t have to address us so formally. Just give us our orders.” When the secret guards saw the petite and dainty Chuling, who was like a willow branch trembling in the wind, they thought that she looked like a nice, subservient young lady. Their hearts suddenly felt like they were being scratched by a kitten.
Since they’d started following His Highness, these men had forsworn all connections with women. It had been a few years since any of them had such close contact with a little lady.
Chuling didn’t know how to talk to them, which was why she’d addressed them so formally. Facing so many men at once, her cheeks were flushed. Still, she held the map firmly in her hand and conveyed Feng Tianlan’s orders.
Feng Tianlan looked at the ten men. They were very decent secret guards and did not stand too close to Chuling. Furthermore, they even blushed innocently. She felt like laughing. Secret guards trained by someone as indifferent as Si Mobai were nothing if not entertaining!
Right now, he should be arriving in South Peace City.
Due to the unknown location of the Spiritual Crystal Mine, they’d had to split up into three groups and head in three different directions to look for the Spiritual Crystal Mine. However, after searching for three days, they still hadn’t found the entrance. Therefore, they’d headed back and gathered at their original location.
Roar! Roar!
A beast’s growl was heard. Another roar followed as if it was being called out.
“Protect Her Highness.”
Hearing the beasts, the secret guards quickly made a circle and surrounded Feng Tianlan and Chuling. The guards’ breathing changed instantly.
Chuling’s voice had a tremble in it as she said, “Miss, the demonic beasts are about to riot again.”
Feng Tianlan listened carefully to the roars. They were coming one after another. She looked in the direction where the sounds were coming from, then down at her map, and said, “It’s not a Demonic Beasts’ Riot. Let’s go and take a look.”
“Miss!” Chuling shouted anxiously.
For a moment, the secret guards hesitated, but then quickly followed behind Feng Tianlan. They were just following orders.
In a short while, they arrived at the source of the roar. They saw around a dozen Demonic Beasts, each as tall as five to six fists forming a semi-circle. Their snarls became more and more ferocious as they slowly approached the cave.
“Miss, what are they doing?” Chuling clearly remembered the night of the Demonic Beasts’ Riot. Therefore, she felt quite afraid while looking at these demonic beasts.
Feng Tianlan didn’t say a word. She jumped into a tree and saw a white beast the size of her palm covered in white fur. It was roaring fiercely at the demonic creatures.
The little furball had little baby teeth, and it was letting out soft and cute roars. It was not ferocious at all, but sweet.
Feng Tianlan did not plan to bother with it at first, but a bigger furball behind it attracted her attention.
It was a big, white tiger stained with blood. At that moment, its eyes were tightly shut. It looked like it was out of breath, while the little furball looked like it was trying to protect it from being eaten by the demonic beasts.
This scene moved Feng Tianlan’s tender heart.
Roar!
A demonic beast lost patience and let out a ferocious scream. It opened up the sharp claws in its paw and pounced onto the little furball. The little furball’s hair stood up even straighter. It also lifted its small, pink paw and jumped onto the demonic beast.
The scene was like a hot bun fighting against a huge dog. It was the path of no return.
Looking at the little furball, who was about to rush into the demonic beast’s enormous mouth, Feng Tianlan reached out her hand and unleashed her natural element. A green vine shot out of her palm and wrapped around the little furball, which then fell directly into her hand.
Just like that, the food that had almost been in the demonic beast’s mouth was snatched away. The demonic beasts all turned around. They showed their extremely sharp teeth and looked around with their green eyes, which were as big as brass rings. Then, they stared at Feng Tianlan like they were staring at their lunch.
