Dragon Person Crown Prince

Wenren Qingyi looked surprised. She clearly didn't want to, but she was indeed cold and hesitated, glancing at Mu Zibai's outer robe.

"You can't expect me to take off my clothes, can you? I'm only wearing this one outfit," Mu Zibai said, speechless.

In the end, Wenren Qingyi reluctantly leaned against Mu Zibai, though he was quite warm.

"Brother-in-law, when did you get so powerful?" Wenren Qingyi asked.

"Guess."

Wenren Qingyi puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Have you reached the Mystic Armor Realm?"

"Guess."

"I heard from Xiao E that you wrote Dream of the Red Chamber?" Wenren Qingyi asked.

"It was written by a gentleman surnamed Cao. I merely retold it."

"Then could you tell it to me, Brother-in-law? Xiao E only told it in bits and pieces. She can't remember it very clearly," Wenren Qingyi said softly.

"If you want to hear it, just say so. It's no big deal," Mu Zibai said with a smile. Joking aside, Wenren Qingyi was his younger sister-in-law, after all.

Of course, he and his sister-in-law had to maintain a pure and friendly relationship.

As he told Wenren Qingyi the story of Dream of the Red Chamber, he didn't know how much time passed. At any rate, his points kept steadily increasing.

By the time it was late at night, Mu Zibai reached out and touched the formation, sensing that it had weakened considerably.

"That should do it. We ought to be able to leave now." Mu Zibai stood up, and Wenren Qingyi rose with him.

Mu Zibai punched the formation, and it shattered in an instant. The formation shattered in an instant.

"Let's go." Mu Zibai grabbed Wenren Qingyi and was just about to leave.

Wenren Qingyi looked at the wild wolf behind them, feeling sorry for it. She had caused its death, so she said, "Why don't we bury it?"

Mu Zibai thought for a moment. "Wouldn't burying it be a bit of a waste?"

Wenren Qingyi: "?"

She didn't understand what Mu Zibai meant.

"Are you hungry?" Mu Zibai asked.

The scene shifted. A flame sprang to life. It was his first time roasting game, but even if he'd never eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run. He copied what he'd seen in TV dramas.

Then he'd stolen some seasoning from Tianling Temple and sprinkled it over the meat. A savory aroma filled the air.

Gurgle—

Wenren Qingyi's stomach growled. Her mouth was practically watering onto the ground. She'd been trapped all night and was already starving. Unlike Mu Zibai, she wasn't a cultivator.

Mu Zibai cut off a leg with his knife, then took out a few sheets of paper, wrapped them around it twice, and handed it to Wenren Qingyi.

"What kind of paper is this? Why is the material so unusual?" Wenren Qingyi asked curiously, as if she'd discovered a whole new world.

"Don't ask. If you do, I'll tell you to guess," Mu Zibai said with a smile.

Wenren Qingyi angrily munched on the wolf leg.

Just as Wenren Qingyi had taken a few bites, Mu Zibai suddenly pressed a hand over her.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh."

Wenren Qingyi understood what Mu Zibai meant and didn't say a word. She silently gnawed on the leg, her mouth slick with grease.

The two of them moved cautiously. Mu Zibai looked into the distance and spotted two shadows climbing the mountain through the pitch-black forest.

Mu Zibai gripped his dagger and warily watched the two shadows. They didn't look human. Demonic beasts? They probably weren't from Tianling Temple.

The two seemed to be whispering and arguing. Mu Zibai took out the Turtle Breath Pearl and carefully crept closer.

Wenren Qingyi set down the leg in her hands, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and planned to save it for later.

"Who are they?" Wenren Qingyi asked curiously.

"They're probably not human. Most likely demonic beasts. Why do they look a little like Dragon People?" Mu Zibai frowned, feeling that something wasn't right.

From their silhouettes, they were humanoid, with horns on their heads and tails behind them. They had to be Dragon People.

Dragon People? Didn't that mean they were from the Dragon Palace? What were they doing here, sneaking around?

With the Turtle Breath Pearl, as long as he was careful, they wouldn't notice him.

He crept closer and finally heard what they were saying.

"Your Highness, please be careful. The prince sent us to scout the situation, but every time, you go off stealing things to eat. You'll be discovered."

They looked like a Dragon Person master and servant.

The servant was utterly exasperated. He had no idea what the Crown Prince's deal was. Eating ordinary poultry was one thing, but he only liked eating males.

Being the one who served at his side made him feel very unsafe.

"I've had enough of eating the same things every day. Besides, my movement technique is already perfected. I won't get caught," the Crown Prince said unconcernedly.

"Your Highness, have you figured out the layout of Tianling Temple by now?"

"Don't worry, I've memorized it all. But someone's guarding that place, so it's hard to investigate. I'll get it done today," the Crown Prince said.

The servant sighed. He knew the Crown Prince probably hadn't done a thing. He'd likely gone to Tianling Temple and gotten so caught up in stealing food that he'd forgotten his actual mission. Otherwise, such a small task would have been finished long ago.

"I'll wait here to cover Your Highness. Please be careful," the servant said.

The Dragon Person Crown Prince put on a mask and turned into an ordinary-looking monk.

The mask completely concealed his aura. If Mu Zibai hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would probably have thought the Crown Prince was human.

A Dragon Person had actually infiltrated Tianling Temple. Mu Zibai sensed danger. He had to warn the people at Tianling Temple immediately.

He had just started to pull Wenren Qingyi away when the servant's voice suddenly reached his ears. The servant was coming toward them.

"I knew I heard something. So someone was eavesdropping."

Mu Zibai looked up. The servant leaped into the air and lunged at them.

He hurriedly pulled Wenren Qingyi back, dodging the servant's attack. The Crown Prince, who had already transformed into a monk, now turned back into a Dragon Person and glared viciously at Mu Zibai.

Seeing the strength of the servant and the Crown Prince, Mu Zibai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were only in the Mystic Armor Realm.

The servant was an old hand in the Mystic Armor Realm, while the Crown Prince had only just reached its early stage, the same as Mu Zibai.

Mu Zibai shielded Wenren Qingyi behind him.

Wenren Qingyi asked timidly, "Should I shout for help?"

Mu Zibai drew a deep breath and looked at Wenren Qingyi. "What else can you do besides shout for help? Shout!"

"Help! Dragon People have landed on the island!"

"Stop her!" the Crown Prince cried in alarm.

The servant immediately charged forward, gathering a stream of blue-white water vapor in his hand and hurling it at Mu Zibai.

Mu Zibai blocked it with his dagger. Wenren Qingyi ran up the mountain while Mu Zibai fended off the two dragons and covered her escape.

"He's got some skill. Don't hold back. Finish them quickly, then we'll go back!" the Crown Prince roared.

The two dragons attacked Mu Zibai without restraint. He couldn't easily withstand the attacks of two Mystic Armor Realm experts head-on, but he could maneuver around them and keep them occupied, stopping them from finding an opening to catch Wenren Qingyi.

At that moment, Mu Zibai pushed his Tiger Martial Realm combat experience to its absolute limit.

Although this was his first time fighting them, Mu Zibai's battle experience was at the level of the Tiger Martial Realm. It was beyond anything the two Mystic Armor Realm fighters could match.

His attacks were extremely tricky and seasoned, keeping the two dragons constantly off guard.
