The dozen or so thugs Yin Jie had brought were all soul beasts, but they were all only one-starred soul beasts.
They rushed over aggressively and looked quite intimidating.
In the end, they were thrown to the ground by Bai Di and Xue Ling. They could no longer get up.
Bai Di held Huanhuan with one hand and never once let go of her. However, even when facing the enemy with one hand, he was not at a disadvantage. Even when all the enemies fell, he was not injured at all.
This was the first time Huanhuan had seen them fight at such a close distance. Her eyes couldn’t help but widen. She felt like she was watching an action scene in 3D. It was very exciting!
She clapped cheerfully. “Bai Di, you’re so cool!”
Bai Di smiled at her. “Are you happy?”
“Yes!”
Xue Ling was very dissatisfied with being ignored. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why are you only praising him? Am I not cool?”
Huanhuan curled her lips and muttered softly, “You’re not cool. You’re just flashy.”
Flames ignited on Xue Ling’s fingertips. “What did you say? Say it again.”
Huanhuan looked up at the sky and pretended that she had not said anything.
It was probably Yin Jie’s first time encountering such powerful beasts. The two of them had actually defeated more than a dozen enemies with their bare hands. Their combat strength far exceeded Yin Jie’s expectations. He couldn’t help but feel afraid.
But he felt indignant about letting Bai Di and Xue Ling go.
He was the son of the Red Crystal City’s city lord and was very likely to inherit the position in the future.
He was the future master of this place!
But now, he was being bullied by two outsiders. If he didn’t retaliate, how could he survive in Red Crystal City in the future?!
As Yin Jie was staggering, he caught a glimpse of guards walking over from afar. His eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted at the guards, “General Xiong! Come over and help me vent my anger!”
There were more than 30 people on General Xiong’s team.
They were much stronger and more disciplined than the male beasts guarding the city gate. It was obvious that they were not ordinary guards.
The male beast in the lead was a bear beast. He was very tall, about 2.2 meters tall. He was stocky and had thick eyebrows. His aura was very powerful.
Huanhuan looked up at him as if she was looking at a moving mountain. He had an oppressive aura.
As soon as Yin Jie saw this bear beast, he looked as if he had seen his savior.
He pointed at Bai Di and Xue Ling and shouted angrily, “General Xiong, arrest these two troublemakers in Red Crystal City. I suspect they’re spies sent by other beast cities. We have to interrogate them!”
Huanhuan was about to explain when Bai Di shook his head, indicating that she shouldn’t speak.
The bear beast looked in the direction Yin Jie was pointing. When his gaze landed on Bai Di, he froze for a moment before looking pleasantly surprised.
He hurried forward with heavy steps.
Yin Jie was overjoyed, thinking Bai Di and Xue Ling were in trouble.
Unexpectedly, General Xiong stopped a meter away from Bai Di. He suddenly bent his knees and knelt on one knee!
He clenched one hand into a fist and pressed it to his chest. “Your Highness, you’re finally back!” he said excitedly.
Seeing the male beast kneel, the 30-odd beasts behind him also knelt in unison. Their movements were uniform, and their auras were quite shocking!
Yin Jie was speechless.
Wait, this was the wrong script!
Huanhuan was also confused. She looked at Bai Di’s handsome face. Who was he?!
Bai Di whispered to her, “I’ll explain later.”
The male beast said excitedly but also respectfully, “Your Highness, ever since you left Sun City, His Majesty has been looking for you. He hopes that you can return to Sun City with us as soon as possible. His Majesty misses you!”
Bai Di said calmly, “Xiong Shu, get up. This is not the place to talk.”
The bear beast named Xiong Shu stood up. He waved at the guards behind him and ordered, “Capture all these criminals who hurt His Highness. They’ll be awaiting punishment!”
“Alright!”
The guards immediately acted, grabbing all the dozen thugs Yin Jie had brought with him and tying them up tightly.
Even Yin Jie did not escape. He was captured by Xiong Shu himself.
Yin Jie struggled and shouted, “You can’t arrest me. I’m the son of the city lord!”
Unfortunately, he was no match for Xiong Shu.
Xiong Shu picked him up. “How dare you attack His Highness? You’ll be killed according to the law!”
Yin Jie’s face turned pale with fear. “W-What prince? There’s no prince here!”
Xiong Shu threw him to the ground and kicked him in the knees, forcing him to kneel facing Bai Di.
“Open your bastard eyes and see clearly. The person in front of you is the second prince of Sun City!”
Yin Jie was in disbelief. “H-How is this possible?!”
Although the Red Crystal City was a beast city, it was only a lower city after all. In front of the middle city, its strength and status were naturally inferior.
As the son of the Red Crystal City’s city lord, Yin Jie could call the shots in Red Crystal City, but in front of the Sun City, he was just a ridiculous clown. He didn’t even have the right to see the royal family, so he naturally didn’t know what the legendary prince of the Sun City looked like.
Xiong Shu bent down to Bai Di. “What does the prince wish to do with Yin Jie?”
Bai Di didn’t want Huanhuan to see blood. “Send him to the Red Crystal’s city lord,” he said casually. “The old man will know what to do.”
“Alright!”
Yin Jie couldn’t help but rejoice. He was his father’s only son. His father doted on him the most. He definitely wouldn’t bear to punish him. At most, he would teach him a lesson like usual.
He didn’t resist. He was very obedient in letting himself be grabbed by Xiong Shu to be sent home.
In the end, Yin Jie’s legs were broken by his father, and he could not take another step out of the house.
His life was completely ruined.
Bai Di and the others returned to the inn.
Xiong Shu booked the entire inn and chased everyone out. More than 30 guards surrounded the inn and did not allow anyone to step into it.
The innkeeper was frightened by this scene and hid in his house, not daring to come out.
Huanhuan sat on the bed and pouted. “Now can you tell me what’s going on with that General Xiong?”
Bai Di explained, “His full name is Xiong Shu. He’s one of my father’s right-hand men. He’s usually in charge of military affairs and defense.”
“Why would he call you ‘Your Highness’? Who are you exactly?”
“My father is the king of Sun City.”
Although she had prepared herself, Huanhuan was still shocked to hear Bai Di admit it. “You’re really a prince?!”
Bai Di didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Don’t I look like a prince?”
Huanhuan muttered, “I’ve never met a prince before.”
Bai Di hugged her. “We’ve met now, haven’t we?”
Huanhuan poked his chest. “Then why didn’t you tell me before? Also, shouldn’t you stay in the palace obediently and enjoy your life as a prince? Is it appropriate for a prince to wander around the countryside?”
Bai Di took her mischievous hand and apologized seriously, “You’re right. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you or run around outside. I promise I won’t do it again.”
