Chapter 127: The Royal Princess (33)

Cheng Jinyun was pushed to the ground by some invisible force. There was something heavily pressing on her, pinning her to the spot.

It seemed the time of this world had been frozen, leaving only her mind racing.

This was like being swept into the lake at the palace back then.

Ming Shu appeared, one hand holding a tree vine. Under the disbelieving gaze of the master, Ming Shu kicked Cheng Jinyun’s weapon away and tied her up with a smile, following up with a fierce beating.

Unbelievable. I owe another complete Manchu-Han feast now because of her.

She deserves a much fiercer beating , Ming Shu complained to herself.

Cheng Jinyun felt sore all over her body and could only glare at the woman in front of her. The most unfortunate thing after her rebirth was meeting Ming Shu.

She was like her born enemy.

Everything, as long as she was involved in it, would go wrong.

“Shen Ci, do you dare to fight me alone!” Cheng Jinyun struggled against the vine and shouted at Ming Shu angrily, “What kind of hero are you, to use a sneak attack!”

Just now she was almost able to kill the Heavenly Temple’s master and complete her own master’s entrusted task.

“No.” Ming Shu shook her head and smiled. “I’m not as powerful as you, and I don’t have the boldness to fight you alone. As for the sneak attack… I learned from you, don’t you know that? So, Miss Cheng, what kind of hero are you, then?”

Cheng Jinyun was speechless.

“Little Ci…” The master felt Ming Shu was so strange in that moment. He didn’t know her; it seemed she was not the little girl from his memory.

Ming Shu looked up and smiled again. “Master, watch your back.”

Her face was so familiar but the look on it was so unfamiliar. The master became absentminded for a moment, and he seemed to have blocked out Ming Shu’s reminder.

The evil spirits had broken through the Heavenly Temple’s defensive line, carrying a variety of weapons and flooding toward them.

A killing atmosphere spread everywhere.

Ming Shu put her hand to her forehead, speechless. It looks like I have to commit suicide.

“Stop!”

The evil spirits stopped at the same time this voice spoke.

And the others also stopped the fight in turn, including Huo Hu.

Huo Hu then quickly retreated to the cave from before, kneeling down on one leg respectfully and fearfully. “Lord King.”

And then all the evil spirits kneeled down to repeat the words loudly: “Lord King.” Their voices spread across the mountains.

The cave remained very quiet and no other evil spirit appeared. But the aura emanating from the cave made everyone feel uncomfortable.

They all thought Huo Hu was the evil spirit king. Who knew that there was another, more powerful evil spirit king in the cave.

And the voice of this “Lord King”…

Sounded very familiar!

“The prince?” Ming Shu and the master said simultaneously. The voice coming out of this cave belonged to none other but the missing prince.

This prince is really funny… He would rather come here to be an evil spirit than the noble son of the emperor.

In the cave, a man wearing a bloody cloak slowly emerged from the darkness. For every step he took, it seemed a blood lotus bloomed under his foot, with a majestic air of evil spreading outward.

The prince looked like his usual self and didn’t change his appearance one bit, but his pupils had turned the golden yellow of spirits.

“It’s really the prince…” someone murmured.

“What happened?” Another was confused.

“Why is the prince here? He and the evil spirits…” someone questioned.

The Heavenly Temple’s people were all stunned.

” Junior brother , it’s been a long time.” An old man wrapped in a black robe walked out from behind the prince. “Is this a surprise?”

The sudden appearance of an old man made everyone become more confused.

But some of the senior disciples of the Heavenly Temple were looking at this old man with horror.

“Master…” Cheng Jinyun mumbled in a weak voice, then shouted louder, “Master, save me!”

But the old man looked at Cheng Jinyun hatefully. “Damn, can’t you do anything right.”

Cheng Jinyun’s face turned pale and she argued, “Master, I almost killed him.” If it wasn’t for that woman, she would have done it.

The old man snorted and ignored Cheng Jinyun. He turned to the Heavenly Temple’s master. ” Junior brother , I will also give you a chance to choose. Surrender or die, which one would you like?”

Everyone was as dumbfounded as a group of idiots now. What is the situation here?

But the master was not surprised. After he discovered that Cheng Jinyun’s martial arts were very familiar, he had figured out everything, including some things that he didn’t understand before.

” Senior brother , it’s really been a long time,” the master said lowly. “I didn’t expect…”

“That I’m still alive?” The old man laughed. “When you kicked me out of the Heavenly Temple, did you think there would be such a day?”

“I didn’t.” Master looked a little sad and a little angry. “I didn’t expect that you would release these evil spirits. Don’t you know what kind of disasters they will bring to this world? Senior brother ! You were not like this before.”

The master thought his senior brother had died that year, so even though the Dragon Root was destroyed and the evil spirits were released, he didn’t imagine it was planned by his senior brother .

“Before? Hahahaha, if the evil spirits hadn’t helped me, I would have long been dead since that year. You are just a group of hypocritical people and can’t even compare to spirits.” The old man glared fiercely. ” Junior brother , haven’t you always wanted world peace? Hoh, you wish! I will let you watch this world collapse, dyed in blood.”

The villains are all very talkative.

Ming Shu yawned. It seemed the conversation would never end, so she was going to find a place to sit down.

The prince noticed her movements. He looked in Ming Shu’s direction. Two little evil spirits then moved a stone bench before Ming Shu, together with a table, snacks, and tea.

Everything was made available.

Of course, most of the attention at this time was paid to the old man and the master. Ming Shu was standing in a relatively peripheral location. Hence, besides Cheng Jinyun, who was tied like a rice dumpling, not many people noticed the situation on this side.

Mu Huai stood opposite Ming Shu with a chilly look, and he asked coldly, “What’s your relationship with him?”

Even in this situation, the prince still prepared these things for her. Their relationship is rather close.

“I think…” Ming Shu took up a dessert on the table and pondered for a moment, saying, “The prince must be planning to do something to me.”

Mu Huai grabbed her hand. “What? Then why are you eating this?”

“Do you think that a noble prince of the country as well as the ‘Lord King’ of evil spirits will poison my food?” If she died, Shen Ci would be forever gone. Therefore, no matter what the prince did, he wouldn’t poison her.

“Don’t eat.” Mu Huai quickly grabbed the dessert from Ming Shu’s hand. Then, probably feeling that his behavior was a bit odd, he explained, “I promised the master I’d protect you.”

Ming Shu glared at Mu Huai’s hand. Her fiery eyes made Mu Huai feel a little creeped out, and he seemed to foresee his hand being tortured in various ways.

“Mu Huai, are you looking for death?” Ming Shu smacked the table and got up.

Her voice was quite loud, which immediately drew the attention of the others, who were still recounting the past. They looked this way and felt even more odd.

“Shush—you interrupted them.” Mu Huai couldn’t help persuading Ming Shu like this. But then he remembered this was inconsistent with the character portrayal of King Huai, so he suddenly snorted again, trying to save his image.

“Give it back.” Ming Shu didn’t pay attention to his behavior at all; she only cared about the dessert.

Mu Huai sighed in relief, but at the same time, he really wanted to find a place to hide. Embarrassing! How could there be such a person?

He quickly searched himself and found a bag of snacks, handing it over. “Here you are.”

Ming Shu hesitated for a moment before taking Mu Huai’s snack.

Before setting out, I decided to bring a snack with me, which turned out to be a very wise decision, Mu Huai thought.

Then Mu Huai glanced at the crowd of people and spirits who were still watching them and calmly said, “Just continue your business.”

If this continues, I will definitely fail the mission!

Calm down, calm down.

I’m going to win an Oscar.

This scene is no big deal. I can handle this.

Everyone: “…” When did the royal princess get a table and bench? She is eating… while enjoying the show?

Evil spirits: “…” This human is going too far! But the Lord King didn’t allow us to eat her.
