Energy erupted from Jun Linyuan’s sword and turned into a giant eagle in the air, which had wings wide enough to cover entire mountains!
The flying magical beasts hovered over Wanping Town, while the eagle soared above them!
Roar —
The eagle opened its beak and breathed in!
Gurgle —
A strange vortex seemed to form in the giant mouth, sucking in the magical beasts closest to it and the gravitational pull spreading out from there.
Standing on the city wall, Jun Linyuan watched as the eagle devoured all the magical beasts. His gaze was resolute and piercing!
The field beyond the city wall was empty.
It was as if the magical beasts had never been there.
It was…
Incredible!
Looking at Jun Linyuan, who was three meters away from her, Yan Yan moved a step closer, then another step, and another —
Finally, she was a meter away from Jun Linyuan… They were so close that Yan Yan thought her heart was going to jump out of her mouth.
This was the closest she had ever been to the crown prince.
Looking at Jun Linyuan’s wide shoulders and straight back, Yan Yan clenched her fists, then flexed her fingers. She thought nervously, should she take the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Jun Linyuan? But, she felt so shy —
Just as Yan Yan was writing a play for herself in her head, the sound of hooves and surprised shouts came from afar.
“Wait, I thought there was a wave of magical beasts. Where are the beasts?”
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi finally arrived. Seeing the empty field, they complained, “Boss Jun, the least you could do is leave a couple of beasts for us.”
Feng Xun had barely finished talking when —
Crumble —
The eagle opened its beak and bones of magical beasts poured out like an avalanche.
“Ouch!”
Feng Xun and Xuan Yi jumped onto the city wall right away.
Seeing Feng Xun speaking with Jun Linyuan, Yan Yan was both envious and excited… She might not be able to get close to Jun Linyuan, but she knew Feng Xun well — he was her cousin on her mother’s side.
“Cousin —” Yan Yan greeted Feng Xun in a cloying voice.
Feng Xun turned around and frowned. “Why are you here?”
Yan Yan put on the prettiest smile she could manage and took Feng Xun’s arm. Still in a saccharine voice, she said, “Cousin, I’m heading back to the imperial capital with mother. Are you going that way as well? How about we travel together?”
If they could travel together, she would be able to hang out with the crown prince round the clock, which would be such an amazing opportunity! Yan Yan’s thoughts were excited and her cheeks felt very hot…
Feng Xun drew back his arm and frowned. “What’s wrong with your voice?”
“Huh?” Yan Yan looked at Feng Xun in confusion.
Feng Xun snapped, “You always talk fast in a brisk voice; this affected tone is so unnatural! That cloying sound doesn’t suit you at all! Speak like a normal person!”
Yan Yan felt like she had just been struck by a thunderbolt and her face turned scarlet red!
If she had a choice, she would throttle this cousin of hers there and then! He was such a backstabber! What was wrong with trying to show the crown prince her best qualities?
