Thus, Feng Wu wanted the older prince to watch as she helped his brother take the throne. She was going to make this his biggest regret; only then would he realize that he had messed with the wrong person.
“Wait.”
Feng Wu gave the young prince a grumpy look and pointed at the back of the cave. “The exit is over there.”
“What?” The young prince looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment.
Feng Wu snapped, “Fine, I know you don’t believe me, but you’ll soon see my capability.”
Her fingers moved slightly as she spoke, and she flicked them in the direction of the wall.
The prince looked at her with a wry smile.
This was a granite cave, and the walls were very hard. The idea of leaving through some underground tunnel was preposterous…
He had examined the rock as soon as he entered the cave.
However!
To his disbelief, a tunnel appeared at Feng Wu’s command, and it ran very deep… He had no idea where it led to.
But it was still a tunnel out of here!
“You —”
It seemed newly made, and there were signs that it had been burned around it. The walls of the tunnel were charred as well.
“This…” The prince stared at Feng Wu in disbelief. “What’s going on here?”
Feng Wu shrugged. “Unlike you, I make sure that I have an exit route when I’m hiding.”
After she and Little Phoenix hid here, she had to work on her breakthrough, so she told the bird to open up an exit tunnel for them.
It was true that they were surrounded by granite, but Little Phoenix could spit fire.
It was a matter of minutes before the rock burnt down.
With its abnormal flame, Little Phoenix opened up a tunnel for them.
But the walls of the tunnel were still very hot.
Feng Wu pushed him toward the tunnel. “Go now! Those men are closing in. Go now before they catch you.”
“I’m not leaving without you! I can’t leave a girl behind while I run away! I brought you into this; if we’re going to die, I’ll die first!” the prince stubbornly held Feng Wu’s hand.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Little Phoenix had been holding a grudge against the prince, but seeing his persistence, it began to like him better.
Feng Wu said, “Fine, if you want to stay and watch, stay. But stand over there and don’t get in my way.”
The prince looked at her in bewilderment and wondered what she was going to do at such a critical moment.
What Feng Wu was about to do was quite simple.
She wanted to weaken the enemy as much as possible, so she was going to blow up as many men in black as she could.
She quickly buried a few things in the cave.
An explosive formation soon took shape.
The prince looked at her and felt perplexed. “What did you bury there? Will it work?”
Little Phoenix stuck out its chest. “Of course it will! Just wait and see!”
But the prince wasn’t convinced, and he reminded Feng Wu, “Those men are very capable. The weakest are Level 3 Spiritual Elders, and the stronger ones are Level 5. As for their captain, he’s a Spiritual Lord.”
Feng Wu didn’t say anything since she had guessed as much.
The prince was anxious at first, but he gradually relaxed.
He had already accepted the fact that he was going to die. If he could make it out, it would be his lucky day, but if he couldn’t… He smiled bitterly. That was practically the inevitable outcome.
