Novel Bin Chapter 948 - Mountain (5)
“Mother, I’m almost fully recovered now, I can help carry us all in my dragon form.” The little missy’s voice was still seething with anger after casting a glance behind themselves.
“Don’t say anymore,” Bai Yan shuts the idea down with a stern face, “your body still has some problems that’s not resolved yet. Don’t worry, believe in me and we’ll all be fine.”
“Mmm,” answering with a compliant humm, Dragony no longer tries to resist being a package and buries her face into that arm. She’s upset but there’s no way the missy’s going to show that to her precious family.
“Yan Yan, this dragon of yours seem to be very strong. Does she have any other skill?” Mo Li Shang asks from one side, his eyes fluttering with curiosity.
“I can only fly a bit faster than the average,” all embarrassed at being the topic of discussion, Dragony blushes in the cheek and looks all adorable despite her following terrifying words. “I can also eat people, but other than eating, I can’t do much else.”
“…..” Twitching in the eye for a second, the handsome teen nevertheless continues with a forced smile, “Then what about combat?”
“I can’t, no one taught me how to fight.” Hanging her head low, the dragoness seems apologetic like she’s done something bad.
Bai Yan didn’t mind the two chatting away while she did the heavy lifting of flying through the air, but just running like this won’t help while the group of pursuers continued to chase them from behind. Scanning the terrain, her eyes soon fell upon a shadowy forest up ahead which would be a perfect place to lose someone due to its dense greenery.
Without a second delay, she bumps her speed up and directly disappears into the shrubbery, leaving Hu Bud Wei and the rest of the humans in the background staring idly at the forest.
“Lord Hu, are you not going to continue your chase?” Wu Xiong asks with a puzzled face at the fox chief.
Narrowing his eyes at the man who dares to question him: “Are you pretending to be stupid or just that stupid? This part is already past the border between the two realms. If I go any further then I’m entering the mountain range inside the Demon Realm.”
“Haha!” Wu Xiong promptly breaks out into a bellowing laugh, “Hu Bud Wei, are you implying you are afraid of some demonic mountain range despite being a member of the fox clan?”
That comment was very blunt and very awkward for the exiled fox chief. It’s not like he’s afraid to step back into the Demon Realm, but being safer never hurts, especially when the cause of this whole thing didn’t relate to himself at heart.
But images must be kept up. Giving a snort, Hu bud Wei rebukes with cynical words of his own: “You think I would need to personally make a move? I am a member of the fox clan! One word from me is enough to leave her with nothing but bones! Daughter, we’re going home.” Giving one final glance at the gloomy and spooky looking mountain range, the fox chief whisks his sleeve and turns away without looking back.
Wu Xiong snarled before narrowing in his eyes: “Bastard, you think I don’t know the truth? If your position within the fox clan was even remotely important then you wouldn’t be at this border city. You may be able to fool some but you can’t fool everyone.”
“What are we going to do now?” Another saint rank cultivator asks from one end.
“All demons and demon beasts alike are inherently hateful of us humans. Now that those two are inside, it’s only a matter of time before the local monsters get to them. As for that bastard Hu Bud Wei, humph, leave him be! No matter what he’s still a fox.” The big man then inhales deeply like he’s suppressing the annoyance he felt, “Those people in the Celestial Realm is treating our lives like its worthless. If we kill one of the fox clan’s member then the Demon Realm will surely retaliate for touching those related to the royal family. We can’t afford such a consequence!”
Truth was there aren’t a lack of powerful humans in this border city – there’s even a couple of high leveled Saint Ranks in closed door training. Why they are willing to put up with the fox clan taking house in their territory goes to show the level of worry they held for provoking the foxes.
