Chapter 243

Upon seeing the comer, Yu Ying stood up abruptly, “Your Highness…” His Highness arrived so soon. Yu Ying remembered that his message seemed to have been sent out the other day!

The others were all dumbfounded to see Xuanyuan Mo and then came to their senses. They all prostrated themselves, “Greetings, Your Highness.” They all hung their heads. They didn’t protect Her Highness well. They were sorry for His Highness.

Without looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Xuanyuan Mo directly walked to Situ Kong and called, “Chief Master.”

Situ Kong collected himself and looked at Xuanyuan Mo’s stern face, his eyes flickering, “Mo, there you are!” Now, Situ Kong was guilty. He thought with his protection, Xi would be fine for sure. However, she was missing.

“Where is Xi now?” Ignoring Situ Kong’s guilty look, Xuanyuan Mo asked directly.

“In the Wuyou Palace of the Wilderness Holy Hall,” Situ Kong honestly told where Duanmu Xi was.

Right after Situ Kong finished speaking, Xuanyuan Mo instantly disappeared.

In a daze, Situ Kong looked at the place where Xuanyuan Mo disappeared.

The others didn’t stand up until Xuanyuan Mo left.

Phoenix Five looked at the others and said with a frown, “Are we going to the Wilderness Holy Hall?”

Everyone looked at each other. Then, Yu Ying thumped the table and said, “Yes, we’re going together.” Now His Highness came, no one would dare to hurt Her Highness. They wouldn’t need to worry then.

Situ Kong also said with a nod, “Yes, we’re going together.” Since Mo was here, what else would they worry about? They could just rush into the Wilderness Holy Hall to rescue Xi and Mei Luo.

The others nodded and got to the door but they were stopped by Lishang and Yu Feng, “His Highness said none of you needed to go.”

Yu Ying directly went forward and held Lishang and Yu Feng before winking at the people behind him. The others took the hint and immediately rushed out.

“Hey… Hold your horses…”

Seeing the people rushing outside, Yu Feng reached out his hand anxiously but it was slapped down by Yu Ying, “Well, enough is enough.”

Yu Feng withdrew his hand in pain and rubbed his hand, “Go easy. My hand is swollen.”

Yu Ying rolled his eyes at Yu Feng, “It was already easy. You didn’t tell me in advance that His Highness had come. Are you my bros or not?” Yu Ying gave them each a punch.

Yu Ying’s mouth twitched, “Write to you? How could we have the time? We don’t even have the time to pee, let alone write a letter.”

Yu Ying turned to Lishang in disbelief, “Is it so exaggerating? I don’t believe you. Lishang, you tell me.”

Lishang said with a smile, “I wasn’t lying. We really had no time for other things. We spent all the time on the way.”

“See? I didn’t lie!” Yu Feng said and then put his arm around Yu Ying’s shoulders but his arm was shaken away by Yu Ying in disdain.

Yu Feng again put his arms on Yu Ying’s shoulders, “You don’t know how harsh His Highness is. Since we got out of the Baihu Empire, we haven’t got any sleep or eaten anything. We only had some water…”

As they walked along, Yu Feng kept complaining.

In the Wuyou Palace of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

Staring at the enchantment in front of him, Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously knitted his brows. Without breaking the enchantment, he went through it with ease.

Upon entering the room, he found that it was empty in the room. He walked to the table and saw the cold dishes on it. Then, he subconsciously knitted his brows.

Xuanyuan Mo took a glance at the empty room again and with a flash, he disappeared.

In the grotto at the back hill in the Wilderness Holy Region.

Looking at the dark cave ahead, Duanmu Xi looked at Bai He beside her.

Meeting Duanmu Xi’s inquiring look, Bai He nodded at her. Then, they entered the cave together.

The cave was very high but not broad. It was dark without any light. Yet, the darkness didn’t affect Duanmu Xi. She could still see everything in the cave clearly.

They only walked for about one hundred meters when a rock door blocked their way.

Duanmu Xi looked at the rock door carefully and then glanced at the jagged rocks with a frown. There was a formation at the cave’s mouth. It seemed that only if the formation was broken could they enter the grotto.

When Duanmu Xi wanted to break the formation, Bai He waved his hands and cast a rush of white mysterious Qi at the rock walls on both sides. Before Duanmu Xi came to her senses, Bai He carried her in his arms and flew into the air.

No sooner had they left the ground than the flat ground instantly sank and exposed a deep square hole. Meanwhile, the rock door went up slowly. Bai He seized the opportunity to take Duanmu Xi through the door.

As soon as they landed, the rock door fell heavily. Duanmu Xi turned around and looked at the closed door with a frown. The formation was set maliciously. Those who couldn’t break the formation couldn’t enter the grotto. If one could break the formation, he could fall into the deep hole accidentally.

Bai He looked around and turned to look at Duanmu Xi, “Let’s go!”

Duanmu Xi nodded and looked at Bai He, “You know about formation too?”

Bai He curled his lips, “I know a bit, but I didn’t expect you would know it too.” As far as he knew, very few people knew about formation. He didn’t know about it until he accepted the legacy. Surprisingly, a young woman also knew about it. She was like a mystery. The more time he spent with her, the more he wanted to know about her.

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi also smiled, “I’ve just learned a bit from my master.” Compared with her three masters, she was far inferior!

Bai He looked at Duanmu Xi observing the cave and smiled, “You seem to have night vision too!”

“Yeah.” Duanmu Xi nodded and said, “I’ve had night vision since I could remember things. It may have something to do with my purple eyes!”

Bai He looked at Duanmu Xi’s purple eyes. Instantly, he was infatuated with her beautiful eyes, “Your eyes are so beautiful! They’re even more stunning than the purple crystal.”

Duanmu Xi was slightly dazed to hear that. She remembered her grandpa had also said that since she was little. When she found she had night vision for the first time, she rushed to tell her grandpa with excitement. Her grandpa also said similar words, “Xi’s eyes are so beautiful, just like the purple crystal!”

After saying that, her grandpa held her into his arms and told her seriously not to let others know about her night vision. She didn’t understand why back then, but she just kept her grandpa’s words in mind. She had never told anyone about it.

Now, as she thought of it, her grandpa must be afraid that others would regard her as a monster. Maybe the relevant experts would capture her for research. Suddenly, she missed her grandpa in modern times. She wondered how he was doing without her company.

After being silent for a while, Duanmu Xi restrained herself and looked at Bai He, “What about you? You have night vision also because of your green eyes?” Bai He was the third person she had seen who had night vision, except herself and Snow. And the colors of their eyes were all unique.

Hearing that, Bai He scratched his head, “I don’t know whether it has something to do with my green eyes, because the elves all have night vision and our eyes are all green.”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, “I really wish to go to the elves’ land.” It was said that the elves’ land was like heaven, where the elves were all kind. They could live for a few hundred or a few thousand years. Besides, the elves, male or female, were all beautiful, just like Bai He.

Bai He also smiled, “OK. I’ll take you to our land one day.” Although outsiders weren’t welcome on the elves’ land, Xi would be definitely welcomed by them.

As they talked, they went out of the narrow cave. Duanmu Xi looked at the two caves with a frown. For the moment, she didn’t know how to choose.

Bai He unhurriedly stood in front of the two caves. He heard the sound and felt the wind’s direction. Then, he picked up rocks from the ground and threw them at the caves respectively.

Then, a sound of wings fluttering came from the left cave, followed by a chirp. Then, a whoosh of arrow shooting and a heavy rumbling sound came from the right cave.

Before the two of them could figure out the sounds in the two caves, a group of dark red things had rushed out of the left cave all of a sudden.

“They’re… They’re vampire bats!” When she saw clearly the red things’ appearance, Duanmu Xi directly grabbed Bai He aside and rushed into the right cave without thinking.

When Bai He came to his senses, the two of them had arrived at the right cave. Looking at the right cave full of mechanisms, Bai He shouted anxiously, “Xi, this is wrong. We shouldn’t come into the right cave. Let’s get out!”

Then, Bai He dragged Duanmu Xi and wanted to leave the right cave, but it was too late. The cave’s mouth had been blockaded by the vampire bats. The vampire bats also kept flying into the cave. Hence, they had to deal with the vampire bats and meanwhile retreated carefully.

“Be careful!” Bai He directly dispersed the vampire bats behind Duanmu Xi with a palm and stood in front of her.

The two of them gently retreated. As they knew the cave was full of mechanisms, they tried their best not to reach the walls. Then, they had to be wary of their footsteps. However, the cave was narrow. The vampire bats still kept hunting them down. Although they were cautious, they still stepped on the mechanisms on the ground carelessly.

Suddenly, a column fell on the top of their heads. It came so quickly that they had no time to react. Bai He subconsciously pushed Duanmu Xi away. The column fell, stirring up the dust.

Bai He wanted to return to Duanmu Xi, but the vampire bats surrounded him, making him unable to get away.

The mechanisms didn’t stop. Countless columns fell from above their heads and spaced them more apart. Duanmu Xi handled the vampire bats with difficulty while carefully dodging the columns from above her head.

As the columns kept falling, there was less and less space in the cave. Not only did the vampire bats get closer to each other but also the space where they could hide got less.

“Xi…” A column abruptly went at Duanmu Xi’s head, but Duanmu Xi couldn’t dodge it. Astonished, Bai He struggled to wave away the vampire bats around him and dashed at Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi looked at the column coming at her. Without hesitation, she struggled to lean forward and bent down to hold her belly. She slowly closed her eyes, hoping that the column wouldn’t hurt her babies when it hit her back.

The column was about to hit Duanmu Xi when a rush of potent power crushed the column. Then, Duanmu Xi fell into a warm embrace.
