After understanding his current circumstances, even Fang Xing showed a look of hesitation and indecision . Such thoughts didn't last for long, however, before he proudly replied, "Why would a man like me need a little girl for protection? Although my appearance might be that of a pretty boy, am I the type of person who can only eat soft food? I can clean up after myself, so go save her!"
The lotus girl gave him a peculiar expression that didn't reveal her thoughts before showing a faint smile . A white jade scroll flew out from Fang Xing's storage sack and into her hand with a flick of her fingers, and she whispered something before passing it back to Fang Xing and tossing a lotus seed head to the golden crow . With that finished, she considered something for a brief moment and replied with full seriousness, "Your appearance is not really considered that of a pretty boy's… . "
"It's not?" Fang Xing became angry and pointed to his own face . "Have you ever seen someone as handsome as me?"
The lotus girl just laughed and stepped out from the blue smoke's cover . Her body flashed for a moment before disappearing, and a voice traveled from far away, "Quickly run and try not to use any of your Qi… . "
The white dragon and red dragon were currently in a heated battle below . The dragon girl was no longer holding back and had no choice but to give it her all to avoid being torn into pieces, yet she'd still ended up covered in blood even then . The red dragon's power was simply crazed and violent beyond imagination, and although its attacks were instinctual without any patterns or planning, the dragon girl couldn't deal with an assault like this . As for the fifth and sixth princes, they watched from the air with smiles on their faces .
"Mother really has great methods . The third prince of the Dragon Palace was turned into nothing more than a vicious hound!"
The sixth prince sighed with extreme regret . " Aii , such a pity about the dragon girl's excellent figure . If only mother was willing to gift it to me, that would be so great… . "
The fifth prince looked at him with disgust . "We still share half of our blood; that thought of yours is just too filthy . Look at me, I only wanted to eat her and am not a single bit interested in her figure… . "
The two of them were certain of their win and weren't cautious at all . While they were speaking with each other, a small and dainty girl slowly stepped out from the mysterious blue cloud above them and coldly observed the battle while floating in the air . She was visible to the naked eye and there were so many people here, yet no one seemed to notice her, as though she were on a completely different plane of existence .
The lotus girl observed the situation and creased her brows slightly as though scheming something, only to show a sinister smile after quite some time had passed . She was silent for only a moment before she abruptly shouted as loud as she could, "Jambu's little demon Fang Xing, where are you going?"
Such a loud yell shook the heavens and earth and was heard clearly by everyone present .
"Fang Xing?"
When they heard this name, no matter whether it was the fifth prince, sixth prince, or even the Red Convention guests who'd managed to stay alive, they all looked up in the sky in shock . Their faces were filled with surprise, but there was also some excitement there as well .
Fang Xing—the little demon of Jambu—was a famous person by now . After killing the Huangfu clan's young master and then scheming against and killing their ten Golden Cores, his name had spread throughout all of Jambu . The Huangfu clan had even issued a decree offering great rewards for him, dead or alive—they only wanted to see his head .
Of course, most important of all was the rumor the little demon had a huge amount of extraordinary treasures . He was practically a small treasure vault himself, and if someone was able to capture him, such a vault would naturally fall into their hands . Which cultivator wouldn't be moved by such a prospect?
Even though the current situation was so tense, the lotus girl's loud yell had managed to attract a large degree of attention precisely for this reason . Fang Xing had been hiding inside the blue cloud and observing how the lotus girl was going to save the dragon girl, and he was extremely surprised to be exposed by her like this . He cursed and stopped caring about whether he was seen or not, so he kicked the sea-snake beast into the sea before flying off with the golden crow at full speed while internally cursing the lotus girl .
The golden crow had originally been disguised, but the two were fleeing so desperately that the crow's true appearance was revealed . Under the light of the full silver moon, his body was clearly that of a giant crow with broad wings that left behind two whirlwinds from the strong gusts of he created in his passing .
The pair had nearly immediately managed to flee three or four miles away . They were like a golden stream of light as they flew towards the horizon at an extreme speed, and an angry shout could be heard drifting along with them . "Stupid girl, how dare she cause me trouble… . "
The lotus girl chuckled at this and muttered, "I'm letting them know your identity so they know who helped them . Not only are you not thanking me, you're actually cursing at me?"
Someone in the crowd recognized the golden crow's appearance and shouted out, "It really is Fang Xing!" Some had seen Fang Xing before he fled and clearly saw his appearance, and when they noticed it was the same person who'd kicked Yuan Bizhan at the Red Convention, they could only feel surprise and fear; it was beyond their imagination the little demon was so close to them mere moments ago .
"Is it truly Fang Xing?" The fifth prince's gaze chilled and he coldly shouted, "Since this person is nearby, it'll be easy to capture him and interrogate him on where his treasures are!" He prepared to give chase, yet the sixth prince's appearance flashed and he took off before the fifth prince had managed to act . Seeing this, the fifth prince's right hand reached forward and turned into a dragon claw to grasp at the sixth prince to keep him from chasing . "Sixth Brother, come and keep an eye on things here instead . I'll make sure that bastard doesn't escape!"
"Haha, Fifth Brother, why don't you keep an eye on things instead? Once I capture this little demon, we'll split the gains evenly!" The sixth prince laughed . His body quivered before a dragon tail appeared and lashed towards the fifth prince .
There was naturally some competition between the two brothers as well, and when they noticed how close the little demon was, they both wanted to capture him for themselves . They were both afraid they'd be left with nothing if the other managed to capture Fang Xing, so they didn't mind even striking out at each other .
After so much time had passed, Fang Xing had already managed to flee over hundreds of miles away and the golden light became dimmer and dimmer .
The two brothers hadn't expected someone so clearly in Foundation Stage to be able to flee so fast, and a bit of panic began to set in . Believing they no longer had the spare time to quarrel with each other, they both ordered their subordinates to keep an eye on the red dragon while he killed the dragon girl before the brothers shifted into their beast forms and chased after the escaping Fang Xing .
'He's Fang Xing?' The dragon girl who'd been fighting heatedly with the red dragon had also heard that scream, and she was a bit surprised in her heart . She hated Fang Xing and hadn't bothered asking who he was—she'd only wanted to kill him to vent her anger—but she'd naturally pay attention when someone mentioned his name . After finding out the guy who ruined the purity of her Yin body was the so-called "seed of disaster" and little demon of Jambu, a very difficult-to-describe feeling formed within her . When she saw him flee without turning back, she felt particularly miserable and disappointed .
At this moment where she was distracted, the red dragon saw an opportunity and abruptly swiped his claws towards her neck . The claws were sharper than any weapon, and when the dragon girl saw how close they were and that she wouldn't be able to evade it, she felt a sense of despair . Her battle prowess indeed wasn't as high as her third brother and she knew it wouldn't matter even if she tried, so she stopped moving altogether… .
ROAR … .
An excited bloodthirsty intent gleamed in the red dragon's eyes as his claws struck towards the dragon girl without a shred of mercy .
The dragon girl looked on in despair, and with the two of them so close, she noticed three beads adorning the top of the red dragon's head, similar to three flowers adorning the head of a particular wealthy-looking woman . They had been viciously thrust deep into the red dragon's head, with only their beaded tips and a glimmering, dragon-eye-like beaded flower visible on the surface .
"My poor third brother, it is all my fault . When I fled, I didn't take you with me… . " Time seemed to become extremely slow and the dragon girl felt a great sense of despair . "Let me help you one last time before I die to free you from your shackles!"
The dragon girl released the last of her strength and returned her dragon body back to its human form, and her soft hands swiftly reached out towards the beads atop the red dragon's head . Her defense and vitality were both greatly reduced in her human form compared to her dragon form, and taking this shape while locked in combat was nothing more than seeking her own death . However, she'd already given up hope and was merely trying to use the swiftness of her human shape to remove the beads pierced into his head .
Once the dragon girl touched the centermost bead, she had to use all of her strength to pull it out . She'd originally intended to pull out all three beads, but she hadn't expected them to be so firmly lodged inside that she was only able to pull out one before the red dragon's claws reached her body . The giant dragon's claw contrasted sharply with her dainty figure, and it looked as though her entire body was going to be ripped to shreds .
The dragon girl closed her eyes in despair and waited for the end of her life .
Suddenly, she heard a light sigh close to her ears and a sound like metal striking metal . She subconsciously opened her eyes and saw a small porcelain-white palm holding back the extremely sharp and strong claws of the red dragon .
The owner of the hand was smiling right beside her and the dragon girl was a bit stunned by her beauty . After a short moment passed, she was surprised to recall this girl was that bastard's maid .
Why was she here?
How could a maid have the power to stop her third brother's attack?
In those brief moments, so many questions entered the dragon girl's mind she couldn't think of what to actually ask .
"He wanted me to save you!" The lotus girl's palm pushed out and an extremely profound power shot out from between her fingers to push the dragon dozens of feet back . After forcing the red dragon away, the lotus girl turned a smile at the dragon girl once more . "The little bastard who ran away just now!"
