Dragon Person Crown Prince

Wenren Qingyi looked surprised, clearly unwilling, but it was indeed very cold. She hesitated, then glanced at Mu Zibai's outer garment.

"You can't possibly expect me to take off my clothes, can you? This is all I'm wearing," Mu Zibai said speechlessly.

In the end, Wenren Qingyi reluctantly leaned against Mu Zibai, finding it quite warm.

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

"Guess."

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

"Guess."

"Xiao E said you wrote Dream of the Red Chamber?" Wenren Qingyi inquired.

"It was written by a Mr. Cao. I merely retold it," he replied.

"Then can you tell it to me, brother-in-law? Xiao E's telling was choppy, she doesn't remember it clearly," Wenren Qingyi said softly.

"If you want to hear it, just say so. It's not a big deal," Mu Zibai said with a smile. Playful banter aside, Wenren Qingyi was his sister-in-law after all.

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

He told Wenren Qingyi the story of Dream of the Red Chamber for an unknown amount of time. Regardless, his points were steadily increasing.

Time passed until deep into the night. Mu Zibai reached out and touched the formation, sensing it had weakened considerably.

"That's about enough. We should be able to get out now," Mu Zibai said, standing up. Wenren Qingyi also got to her feet.

Mu Zibai punched the formation, and it shattered instantly.

"Let's go," Mu Zibai said, pulling Wenren Qingyi as they prepared to leave.

Wenren Qingyi looked back at the wild wolf behind them, feeling a bit sorry for it. It was all her fault that it died. "Why don't we bury it?" she suggested.

Mu Zibai thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be a shame to bury it?"

Wenren Qingyi: "?"

She didn't understand what Mu Zibai meant.

"Are you hungry?" Mu Zibai asked.

The scene shifted. A flame rose, and though it was his first time roasting wild game, he had seen it done on TV. He learned from watching.

He had also stolen some seasonings from Tianling Temple, sprinkled them on, and the aroma filled the air.

Gulp--

Wenren Qingyi's stomach rumbled. She was practically drooling. Having been locked up all night, she was starving. Unlike Mu Zibai, she wasn't a cultivator.

Mu Zibai used a knife to cut off a leg, then took out some paper, wrapped it twice, and handed it to Wenren Qingyi.

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

"Don't ask. Just guess," Mu Zibai said with a laugh.

Wenren Qingyi, pouting, ate the wolf leg.

Just as Wenren Qingyi had taken a few bites, Mu Zibai suddenly held her back.

"What?"

"Shh."

Wenren Qingyi understood Mu Zibai's meaning and fell silent, continuing to gnaw on the leg, her mouth greasy.

The two moved cautiously. Mu Zibai looked into the distance and saw two shadows in the dark forest, heading up the mountain.

Mu Zibai gripped his dagger, warily watching the two shadows. They didn't look like humans. Yao Beasts? Probably not from Tianling Temple.

He could hear them rustling and seeming to argue. Mu Zibai took out the Turtle Breath Pearl and crept closer.

Wenren Qingyi put down the leg she was holding, wrapped it in a handkerchief, planning to save it for later.

"Who are they?" Wenren Qingyi asked curiously.

"They're probably not human, most likely Yao Beasts. Looking at them, they seem a bit like Dragon People?" Mu Zibai frowned, feeling a sense of unease.

Judging by their silhouettes, they were humanoid, but with horns on their heads and tails behind them. They must be Dragon People.

Dragon People? That would mean they were from the Dragon Palace's influence. Why were they lurking around here? What were they planning?

Under the Turtle Breath Pearl, as long as they were careful, they wouldn't be discovered.

As he got closer, he finally heard their conversation.

"Your Highness, you should be careful. The Prince ordered us to scout the area, and you keep stealing things to eat. You'll be discovered."

It seemed to be a Dragon Person noble and his servant.

The servant was incredibly speechless. He didn't know what His Highness's peculiar taste was. Not only did he only like to eat ordinary poultry, but he also only liked to eat the males.

This made him feel very unsafe while serving by his side.

"I'm tired of eating the same things every day. Besides, my movement technique has reached great mastery. I won't be discovered," the Crown Prince said nonchalantly.

"Crown Prince, it's been so long, have you gotten the route to Tianling Temple down yet?"

"Don't worry, I've memorized it all. However, that place is guarded, making it difficult to scout. I'll handle it today," the Crown Prince said.

The servant sighed, knowing the Crown Prince had likely failed. He probably got distracted by sneaking snacks at Tianling Temple and forgot about the actual task, otherwise, this minor matter would have been settled long ago.

"I'll wait for you here, Crown Prince. Be careful," the servant said.

The Dragon Person Crown Prince put on a mask, transforming into an ordinary monk.

The mask completely concealed its aura. If Mu Zibai hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was just a person.

A Dragon Person had infiltrated Tianling Temple. Mu Zibai felt a sense of danger and knew he had to quickly notify the people at Tianling Temple.

Just as he was about to pull Wenren Qingyi away, the servant's voice suddenly reached his ears, drawing closer.

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

Mu Zibai looked up. The servant leaped into the air and attacked the two of them.

He quickly pulled Wenren Qingyi back, dodging the servant's attack. The Crown Prince, who had transformed into a monk, now reverted to his Dragon Person form, glaring ferociously 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 Mystic Armor Realm cultivator, while the Crown Prince was only in the early stage of the Mystic Armor Realm, just like Mu Zibai.

Mu Zibai shielded Wenren Qingyi behind him.

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

Mu Zibai took a deep breath, looked at Wenren Qingyi, and said, "What else can you do besides call for help? Go on, shout!"

"Help! A Dragon Person has landed on the island!"

"Stop her!" the Crown Prince exclaimed in surprise, quickly saying.

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

Mu Zibai blocked it with his dagger. Wenren Qingyi ran up the mountain. Mu Zibai defended against the two dragons' attacks while covering Wenren Qingyi's 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 with all their might. Mu Zibai found it difficult to directly withstand the attacks of two Mystic Armor Realm experts, but he could maneuver between them, delaying them so they couldn't spare the effort to capture Wenren Qingyi.

At this moment, Mu Zibai was utilizing his Tiger Martial Realm combat experience to the fullest.

Although this was their first encounter, Mu Zibai's combat experience was on par with a Tiger Martial Realm cultivator, something the two Mystic Armor Realm cultivators couldn't compare to.

His offensive methods were extremely tricky and seasoned, leaving the two dragons unable to defend themselves.
