"His Grace is right. This is no place to talk!"
"A Feng, let's go!"
"All right, let's go!"
Looking at the beauty in his arms, Luo Feng wore a satisfied smile too.
Princess Vina truly was loyal and devoted.
Luo Feng had already covered her safe retreat earlier.
He had never expected this woman to disregard her own safety completely.
She had actually sought help from the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Duke.
Honestly, faced with a woman who treated him with such sincerity, Luo Feng was deeply moved too.
By contrast, however, Ju Zi and Jing Ziyan, who had become prisoners, were not nearly so at ease.
Although the White Tiger Duke had said he would not do anything to them, a man's mouth was a lying devil.
The Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire were enemies, too. No one knew what might happen!
"Lord Luo, you said you would let us go!"
"You can't go back on your word!"
In her desperation.
Ju Zi darted forward and grabbed Luo Feng's arm.
She even disregarded the astonished gaze of the Heaven Dou Empire's princess beside him.
The orange-haired beauty pressed her entire upper body against him.
There was no denying it!
Ju Zi had a fine figure in her youth.
So fine that even Vina was jealous!
"A Feng, who is this woman?"
"How dare she get so close to you?"
Although Vina was a princess.
She was a woman first.
No woman would fail to feel jealous under these circumstances.
"Well, she's a prisoner I captured earlier!"
"She was among the people who intercepted us before. Do you remember, Princess?"
Sensing the jealousy of the girl in his arms.
Luo Feng hurried to explain.
He pointed at the timid Jing Ziyan beside them.
"So was that purple-haired girl!"
"I used the two of them as cover to get down the mountain!"
At a time like this, he had to explain immediately.
Otherwise, the longer he delayed, the harder it would be to clear things up.
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Ju Zi immediately realized that she seemed to have overstepped.
She hurriedly straightened up and kept a safe distance from the young couple.
"Princess of Heaven Dou, please don't misunderstand!"
"There's nothing between Mr. Luo and me!"
"It's just that we agreed earlier that he would let us go once we got down the mountain!"
Hearing the conversation between the two women.
The White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, walked over with a smile.
"Your name is Ju Zi, isn't it?"
"Weren't you quite fierce when you saw me earlier? Why have you wilted now?"
In fact.
The White Tiger Duke did not want to take things to extremes either.
But as commander-in-chief of the armies, there were certain things he could not avoid.
As the saying went, the merciful could not command troops.
If Dai Hao had been indecisive and fussy, he could never have protected his homeland beneath the Sun Moon Empire's iron hooves.
"Miss, I don't know what history you have with the duke, but please trust his character!"
After getting a general understanding of the situation.
Vina stepped forward too.
"All these years, your Sun Moon Empire has pressed us step by step. Our three empires have acted entirely in self-defense!"
"Both sides suffer deaths in war. If you must blame someone, blame your insatiably greedy emperor!"
That was the plain truth.
Ever since the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent had merged.
The Sun Moon Empire had invaded the Douluo Continent countless times.
Fortunately, Shrek had rallied them.
Otherwise, the three empires would have been destroyed long ago.
"Since even the princess of Heaven Dou has spoken on my behalf, I give you my assurance once again: I will not take your lives!"
"When the time is right, I will let you all return home!"
This fellow Dai Hao.
Was no fool either!
Seeing that the White Tiger Duke had given such an assurance.
Luo Feng came over too.
He gently patted Ju Zi's shoulder.
"Miss Ju Zi, are you satisfied now?"
However, just as the group was about to leave the Ming Dou Mountain Range.
A phoenix's cry rang out behind them!
Immediately afterward, an old woman's voice followed!
"White Tiger Duke, what nerve you have!"
"You dare breach our Sun Moon Empire's defensive line and even try to take prisoners right under our noses!"
Sure enough!
The Sun Moon Empire had reacted quickly enough.
The next wave of pursuers had come after all!
"This is bad!"
"It's the Fire Phoenix Douluo!"
"How did this old woman catch up?"
Hearing that voice, even the battle-hardened Dai Hao immediately grew tense.
Because the pursuer who had come this time was no ordinary opponent.
She was the commander of the Sun Moon Empire's Fire Phoenix Soul Engineer Legion.
She was also a very powerful fire-type Titled Douluo herself.
"Dai Hao, leave that orange-haired girl behind!"
"Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a place to be buried!"
Hearing that voice, a hint of delighted surprise immediately appeared on Ju Zi's face.
"It's Granny Luan Feng! She's here!"
Even after becoming a queen later on.
Ju Zi behaved very humbly before this Fire Phoenix Douluo!
It seemed the two shared a close relationship.
"This old woman came alone. I'll go hold her off!"
"Princess of Heaven Dou, and Prince Consort, take these two girls to my White Tiger army camp first!"
Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke, certainly did not have an empty reputation!
He would not hand over his prisoners just because someone demanded it.
Moreover, because she had come in a hurry.
The Fire Phoenix Douluo had rushed here all alone.
Dai Hao could hold her off for a while without a problem.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
"Does your Star Luo Empire want to spark another great border war?"
Seeing that the White Tiger Duke refused to show her any deference.
The Fire Phoenix Douluo threw a punch straight at him.
And the old woman actually split her attention as well.
She sent a mass of Phoenix Flame hurtling toward Luo Feng and the others.
She seemed to want to separate them from Ju Zi!
"Hmph!"
"Do you think I don't exist?"
Seeing the fire phoenix construct hurtling toward him.
Luo Feng smiled faintly and struck!
"Mountain Dragon King's second Soul Skill: River!"
This was a move Luo Feng had never used before.
The moment his words fell.
A surging river suddenly appeared before the young people.
Its raging waters directly blocked the flying fire phoenix!
They completely engulfed the firebird at once!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
When the flames and flowing water collided.
A great quantity of steam immediately rose.
Even the water droplets in the air were vaporized!
The scene was just like a sauna!
"Impressive, boy!"
"You actually blocked my Phoenix Fire!"
Originally, the Fire Phoenix Douluo had thought this move would let her handle these juniors with ease.
She had never expected a youngster she had never seen before to neutralize it so effortlessly!
"Old woman, where are you looking?"
Seizing the opportunity while his opponent was distracted.
The White Tiger Duke struck with another claw.
"Take my White Tiger Annihilation!"
This move had been ineffective against Luo Feng, but it was quite suitable against the Fire Phoenix Douluo.
"Damn it!"
Caught off guard, the old woman retreated sharply.
Instead, she widened the distance between herself and Ju Zi!
"Prince Consort of Heaven Dou, would you like to join forces with me?"
"If we capture this old woman, we'll have another bargaining chip in future negotiations with the Sun Moon Empire!"
After forcing his opponent back, the White Tiger Duke seemed to have not quite had his fill.
The old geezer actually turned to look at Luo Feng.
He wanted to join forces with him to capture the Fire Phoenix Douluo before them!
Under normal circumstances.
This old woman had an entire Soul Engineer legion at her side.
She could also operate powerful Level 9 Soul Tools.
But now, in her eagerness to rescue someone, the old woman had brought nothing!
This truly was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years!
"All right!"
Without hesitation, Luo Feng immediately nodded.
He was no longer the drifting cloud and wild crane he had been at the beginning.
He had the princess of Heaven Dou by his side.
And an added responsibility as a husband.
"How dare you!"
"White Tiger Duke, do you think you can tie me down with the help of a boy who knows water-type Soul Skills?"
Hearing Dai Hao seek help.
A flicker of worry crossed the Fire Phoenix Douluo's face opposite them.
But when she saw Ju Zi, a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes as well.
Yet in the time she spent hesitating.
Luo Feng had already rushed to the White Tiger Duke's side, and the two attacked in tacit coordination, flanking her from left and right!
"Fire Phoenix Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire, you're staying here!"
