Silver Moon Princess Ye Lanxi

"Tra... transmission talisman?"

Zhao Tiangang's pupils suddenly contracted as he muttered in disbelief.

This group of people—the golden-robed elder and silver-haired girl—had appeared out of thin air. They had definitely used a transmission talisman.

Yet even single-person transmission talismans were exceedingly rare, worth a fortune. The value of a talisman capable of transporting nearly a hundred people at once was simply unimaginable!

Why would anyone pay such an enormous price to rush to Bear Martial City and wade into this muddy water?

Moreover, the silver-haired girl's face seemed somewhat familiar, as though he had seen her somewhere before. Yet Zhao Tiangang could not recall it at the moment!

Xiao Chen was dumbfounded as well, though his focus differed from everyone else's. His eyes were fixed tightly on the silver-haired girl, filled with shock.

How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world?

Even every word of praise in the world would be insufficient to describe her stunning beauty.

Her eyes were lively as water, her skin white as ice and snow, her features exquisitely delicate. Her silver hair cascaded down to her waist, adding an extraordinary splendor to her.

Her figure was even more peerless—jade-like legs long and slender, a slim waist, towering breasts—making Xiao Chen unable to look away.

Xiao Chen had seen quite a few beauties. If Ye Qingxuan was like a fairy in many people's eyes, then the beauty of this silver-haired girl before him could casually crush a fairy in an instant.

He believed that even someone as gorgeous as Ye Qingxuan would certainly feel inferior before the silver-haired girl.

However, the silver-haired girl was too cold and aloof, as cold and aloof as ten-thousand-year ice, making others afraid to approach her.

Perhaps precisely because of this, not one of the nearly hundred Blood-Armored Guards following beside her dared look up. All kept their heads lowered.

"Are you Zhao Tiangang, head of the Demon Suppression Office in Bear Martial City?"

Ignoring Xiao Chen's gaze, the silver-haired girl turned to Zhao Tiangang and spoke coldly.

Her voice was exceptionally pleasant, yet it carried an icy chill.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tiangang examined the girl's face carefully once more. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward to bow. "This subordinate is indeed Zhao Tiangang. Silver Moon Princess, you have arrived, yet this subordinate failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive this offense!"

Upon hearing the words "Silver Moon Princess," everyone present was utterly shocked.

How could someone as incomparably noble as the Silver Moon Princess lower herself to personally visit a remote little city like Bear Martial City?

"Th... the Silver Moon Princess herself has come?"

The Garrison Commander's pupils shrank sharply as well, a trace of disbelief flashing through his eyes.

The Silver Moon Princess was Great Xia's eldest princess and the future heir to the Xia Emperor.

Not only did she possess beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, her talent was even more terrifying. She had extraordinary aptitude as a Spell Cultivator; legend said she had reached top-grade Heaven Tier, only a hair's breadth away from a King Physique.

In Great Xia's cultivation world, while the vast majority cultivated martial arts, some cultivated other Great Daos.

For instance, sword cultivators, Spell Cultivators, medical cultivators, beast cultivators, formation masters, pill cultivators, and so on!

Spell Cultivators trained in controlling the natural elements between heaven and earth, such as water, fire, wind, lightning, and the like.

The Silver Moon Princess had been blessed by the Moon Goddess since birth. She could command the radiance of the moon and possessed formidable combat power.

And at only eighteen years old, she was already an eighth-level Artisan Apprentice. Her cultivation speed was terrifying beyond compare!

"So she is the Silver Moon Princess, Ye Lanxi. She really is beautiful—far more beautiful than her younger sister Ye Qingxuan!"

After learning the silver-haired girl's identity, Xiao Chen was greatly astonished. Yet his eyes still clung to Ye Lanxi, staring without end.

Although he was the Zhenbei King's son, the Silver Moon Princess had always appeared in public very rarely. This was also his first time seeing her.

Still, he had long heard that the Great Xia Emperor had a Silver Moon Princess with world-toppling beauty and peerless talent. She was Ye Qingxuan's elder sister, and also the nightmare of her entire life.

Ye Qingxuan had always wanted to catch up to her elder sister, yet even after exhausting all her strength, she could scarcely glimpse her back. Whether in beauty or cultivation, the gap caused her endless pain.

"Boy, are you a sword cultivator?"

The golden-robed elder glanced at Xiao Chen, surprise flashing through his eyes.

Sword cultivators were not often seen these days, and sword cultivators this young were even rarer. Who would have thought he could encounter a young sword cultivator in tiny Bear Martial City?

Xiao Chen was still looking at Ye Lanxi, turning a deaf ear to the elder's words.

"Boy, have you looked enough? Keep staring, and believe it or not, this old man will gouge out your dog eyes?"

Seeing Xiao Chen act so brazenly, the golden-robed elder could not help frowning.

Originally, seeing that Xiao Chen was a sword cultivator, he had felt a degree of goodwill toward him.

Yet who would have thought he was a lecher? His impression of Xiao Chen immediately plummeted.

"Ahem, sorry. The Silver Moon Princess is too beautiful. I lost myself for a moment."

Hearing the golden-robed elder's words, Xiao Chen realized he had behaved improperly. He coughed twice and spoke.

"Heh. Boy, the Silver Moon Princess is naturally more beautiful than a celestial fairy, but she is not someone a person like you can covet. I advise you to watch your eyes. Some people are destined to remain beyond your reach for your entire life. Do you understand?"

The golden-robed elder looked at Xiao Chen and sneered.

He had seen too many people like Xiao Chen. Relying on a bit of talent, they dreamed of approaching the Silver Moon Princess, only to return with feathers scattered and broken wings!

The Silver Moon Princess was far too exceptional. In his view, there was not a single man in the entire world worthy of her!

Even if Xiao Chen was a sword cultivator, he still fell far, far short!

"I don't understand."

Seeing the golden-robed elder be so rude, Xiao Chen's temper flared as well.

The golden-robed elder's expression shifted slightly. "You..."

He wanted to erupt, but Ye Lanxi's gaze swept lightly toward him. He immediately suppressed his anger, merely shooting Xiao Chen a cold glance without saying another word.

After stopping the elder, Ye Lanxi could not help glancing at Xiao Chen as well, a trace of unusual light flashing through her eyes.

Ever since she had grown into a young woman, every man her age became exceptionally nervous upon seeing her, some even at a complete loss!

Yet this youth before her not only did not lower his head upon seeing her, he even kept staring at her. He truly was unique.

Before long, however, she withdrew her gaze and looked back at Zhao Tiangang. "The Demon Suppression Office's mission is to slay demons and protect the people. Now, thousands of demons are attacking the city, and the citizens are in mortal danger. As the head of the Demon Suppression Office, not only did you refuse to act against the demons, you even sought to slaughter your own countrymen. Do you know your crime?"

Some days ago, the Xia Emperor had felt that the Demon Suppression Office had become thoroughly corrupt and ordered her to oversee it. Today, when the Demon Race began slaughtering the city, she rushed here immediately upon receiving the news.

At her words, Zhao Tiangang's face immediately turned deathly pale.

She was holding him accountable!

The Silver Moon Princess had actually come to hold him accountable!

Even in his dreams, he had never imagined that the slaughter of a mere small city like Bear Martial City would draw the Silver Moon Princess herself to intervene!

One had to know that the Silver Moon Princess was not merely a princess. She was also the successor personally chosen by the Xia Emperor, Great Xia's future empress.

Her words carried immense weight!

"This subordinate knows his crime, but this subordinate had his difficulties in not fighting. Thousands of demons had surrounded the city, while Bear Martial City only had a little over seventy martial artists. If I had engaged them, it would have been like striking a stone with an egg. Thus, this subordinate wished to preserve our strength and proceed gradually!"

Zhao Tiangang said in a trembling voice.

"That is not a reason." Ye Lanxi gently shook her head and pointed at Xiao Chen. "You have so many powerful martial artists under your command, yet you dare not fight. He is alone, yet he dared stand before thousands of demons. Do you think he is stronger than all of you?"

"This..."

Zhao Tiangang was left speechless.

"I shall punish you..."

Roar!

Halfway through Ye Lanxi's sentence, an enraged roar from a Dog Demon suddenly sounded nearby.

"You foolish humans, death is at your doorstep, yet you are still fighting among yourselves!"

"The great figures of the Demon Race have spoken. Today, all of you will die here, while Great Xia's foremost beauty, the Silver Moon Princess, will become the Demon Race's captive and a plaything in bed for one of its great figures!"

The Demon God Hall youth who had previously been relaying messages for the Demon Race spoke with a savage expression.
