Even the little maiden next to her was exquisitely beautiful. When the little maiden had grown up, her beauty could bring the whole city to their knees.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you see the beauty ahead of you? Go and get her.” Mu Yu slapped the guard across his head.
‘It must be wonderful to be with such a gorgeous lady.’
Rubbing his palms together, Mu Yu stared at the lady with a lecherous gaze, a lustful smile could be seen plastered on his face. He could even foresee the lady moaning exaggeratedly, being pinned down under his body…
Just as the guard wanted to make a move, his body suddenly stiffened as he stood rooted to the ground.
***
The sun was burning like fire.
The lady in the red robe was even more dazzling than the sun. Her face was indescribably stunning. One could hardly forget her even with just a glance.
A little maiden could be seen riding on the wolfhound that walked next to the lady. It was such a warm and harmonious sight.
Suddenly, countless spirit beasts strode out of the forest, walked after the lady—wolves, tigers, leopards…and a big rabbit.
It was a wide variety of spirit beasts behind the lady, as if a huge group of bodyguards. Each of them was bigger and stronger than the petite lady who walked before them. The lady was as if a tiny little fish leading a big group of giant sharks.
Stunned, all the guards stood rooted on the spot, their faces stiffened.
Mu Yu too was startled. He looked blankly at the lady before him. He could not help glancing at the spirit beasts behind her.
‘Wait… why do these spirit beasts look so familiar?’
Standing dazed for a while, Mu Yu had finally regained his focus. A glimmer of vicious light flashed in his eyes.
‘Those spirit beasts belonged to the marquis manor. However, they are out here following a lady?’
“Stop them!” Mu Yu snarled.
The guard nearly burst into tears.
‘You have just sent so many people out of here and there are only a few of us left. Do you really think we can defeat so many spirit beasts? These spirit beasts will bite us to death.’
Seeing the guard was still standing unmovingly, Mu Yu gave the guard a kick and sent him forward.
“Go now!”
The guard walked fearfully toward Feng Ruqing, his face was ghastly pale.
***
Under the tree, just as Feng Ruqing walked out of the Forest of Spirit Beasts, a guard in armor stopped her.
“Back off!” The lady’s face was nonchalant.
Bang!
Before the guard could say a word, he was dealt a blow on his chest, sending him flying away and crashing pathetically to the ground.
The guard spat out a mouthful of blood and did not manage to get up after that.
Mu Yu’s face darkened. He got up and sized Feng Ruqing up with a lecherous gaze. The corner of his lips curved into a sinister sneer.
“Maiden, these spirit beasts belong to the marquis manor. Where are you taking them to?”
Feng Ruqing glanced at Mu Yu who was walking up to her from not far away and then turned to look at the spirit beasts.
“Is that so?”
All the spirit beasts shook their heads simultaneously as if they were trained to do this before.
“Maiden, the Forest of the Spirit Beasts belongs to the marquis manor. Naturally, the same goes for the spirit beasts within the forest. However…” Mu Yu stroked his chin as he sneered.
“If you are willing to be my concubine, I could give you one of them. However, you must not take all of them away. These are the marquis’s spirit beasts. He would never give them to anyone!”
