The entire street sank into silence.
Stunned, everyone stared quietly at the ferocious rabbit.
Fu Qingjiu’s face was drained out of color. She had always been well-liked by the spirit beasts. This was the first time she was attacked by a spirit beast. What was more, she was attacked by a rabbit that supposedly had a soft and gentle nature.
Whoosh!
Countless long swords were unsheathed and pointed at the huge rabbit.
The rabbit merely snorted, loosened her jaw, and looked disdainfully at Fu Qingjiu.
Blood oozed out from the back of Fu Qingjiu’s hand. She raised her pale face and lifted another hand to stop the guards who were ready to battle.
“Stop it!”
Fu Qingjiu continued walking toward the big white rabbit. With a faint smile on her face, she looked as gentle as the spring breeze. She seemed not to care that the big rabbit had hurt her just now.
“I believe that no spirit beasts are born evil. I was too impetuous just now. Maiden Bunny, I mean no harm. The people of Haitian Kingdom have always lived harmoniously with spirit beasts.”
The big rabbit raised its head to take a glimpse at Fu Qingjiu.
‘You mean no harm but you actually want us to stay here? Sure enough, these people want to make us their slaves and work for them.’
The big rabbit had been tricked once. Naturally, it would never fall into the same trap again.
“You all must have reached here after wandering around in other places. That’s why you keep your guard up. I understand. I will let you all stay in Haitian Kingdom, but you must promise me not to hurt anyone here.” Seeing the big rabbit was alarmed, Fu Qingjiu sighed softly.
The big rabbit did not utter a word.
Even if Fu Qingjiu did not say this, spirit beasts would never massacre the innocent at will. However, when a rabbit was pushed into a corner, it would bite.
If these people forced them to stay in Haitian Kingdom, the rabbit would surely bite these bastards to death!
“All of you please make way for them.” Fu Qingjiu looked up at the guards behind her as she said calmly.
“Your Highness!” The guard’s face changed.
These spirit beasts were different from those in the past. Unlike this ferocious rabbit, the spirit beasts that came into Haitian Kingdom previously were extremely gentle and adorable.
If these spirit beasts got into Haitian Kingdom, simply no one knew what kind of calamity would befall the kingdom.
“You don’t believe in my ability, do you? This rabbit bit me just now as it was frightened. In fact, it did not want to attack me. Since I let them step into the kingdom, I will take all the responsibilities.” Fu Qingjiu smiled faintly.
Everyone was silent.
It was true that Fu Qingjiu had always been well-liked by the spirit beasts since she was little. Since she had said so, the spirit beast must have attacked her out of fear. It did not mean to hurt her.
The guard who was leading the troop edged back.
“Make way for them.”
In an instant, everyone on the street edged back to make a path for the spirit beasts.
“Maiden Bunny, I hope you could promise me the things I have said just now. From now on, Haitian Kingdom is your home.” Fu Qingjiu smiled.
Disregarding Fu Qingjiu, the big rabbit hopped forward with its nose in the air.
Similarly, the rest of the spirit beasts paid no need to Fu Qingjiu and walked past her without sparing a glance at her.
Unlike the lowly spirit beasts, these spirit beasts have experienced a lot in life and they knew how vicious humans could be. Other than Feng Ruqing—the lady who had risked her own life to save theirs from the forest of spirit beasts—they would never give their hearts away so easily.
