Yes, the moment the eldest prince arrived, all spirit beasts had already left with the things they had acquired from the robbery.
They left the city swaggering, just like how they had arrived.
They were acting proudly as if they were the winner.
The eldest prince’s face was dark and gloomy. “These damn beasts! If they come again tomorrow, I will not let them leave this city!”
The eldest prince decided not to return to the palace so that he would be able to arrive quickly when the beasts arrived. So, he lived in a courtyard nearby.
However, he waited for several days in a row, yet the spirit beasts did not come.
He thought that the spirit beasts would not come again. So, he returned to the palace unhappily. Just after he left, the newly built city gate collapsed again with a loud bang.
All the residents in the marquis city became afraid after seeing the spirit beasts at the city gate.
In particular, those stalls that had just brought out the spirit herbs, they were so anxious that they quickly hid them.
***
In the deserted city.
In the basement of the manor of lord mayor.
Feng Ruqing was sitting on the stone bench staring at the girl in front of her.
Since coming to this manor, she had realized the reason why the aura in the deserted city was so impure. It was because all the pure spiritual qi had flown into this place, leaving only the impurities out there.
It was just that Feng Ruqing saw a girl inside when she opened up the basement.
The girl’s eyes were ignorant and she seemed innocent.
She was about thirteen to fourteen years old. Her face was still immature and young.
The girl looked at Feng Ruqing curiously. She did not understand why this human being was looking at her like this.
“Do you… want to eat?”
The girl gathered all the spiritual qi in her palm and molded it into a ball.
Indeed, it was a ball that was handed out to Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing looked at the ball in the girl’s hand. She then looked at that young and innocent face. She hesitated for a moment. “Ball…”
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
The girl blinked and seemed even more dazed.
Feng Ruqing stopped. “Should I call you Lingling? But Qiuqiu sounds nicer.”
Sure.
Although the girl was still young, her body had already begun to develop. She would inevitably develop into a ball in a few years.
Furthermore, she had handed a ball to Feng Ruqing. So, Feng Ruqing had given her that name.
“Delicious.”
The girl smiled shyly and continued to hand over the ball that was full of spiritual qi to Feng Ruqing.
Feng Ruqing took the ball. As soon as she put it near her mouth, the spiritual qi flowed into her body through her nose. She felt a burst of comfort all over her body.
Bang!
The spiritual qi had helped Feng Ruqing breakthrough to Immortal Warrior tier where she arrived at her bottleneck.
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
Feng Ruqing’s spiritual qi was already very pure due to the black sword in her dantian. However, this little girl’s spiritual qi was even purer than hers! It helped her to break through her bottleneck.
“Ahem!” Feng Ruqing coughed. “Qiuqiu, what kind of spirit herb are you?”
The girl blinked. “What is a spirit herb? Can it be eaten?”
Feng Ruqing remained silent.
Just forget it. A spirit herb that had not come into contact with a human was like a piece of paper—they knew nothing and were completely naive.
“Qiuqiu, do you know why you are here?”
The girl frowned as she chewed on her finger. “I remembered that there were a lot of bad guys that day. They were here to catch me. Then, my servants brought me to this place and hid me here. I don’t know what happened after that. I haven’t been out there and have been staying here obediently.”
