Ancient ruins in the middle of the forest.
"Que... Queen?!" The lady spoke.
"Hmmm?" Hearing this, the three felt extremely shock.
"Why does our Queen possesses intelligence immediately? This is not what the previous Queen had told us." The lion head spoke.
"The Queen had told us that it will be an infant. Why does she seem to be at the age of a human teenager?" The humanoid dragon spoke.
"Who... who are you... where am I?!" At this time, the lady spoke.
The three of them looks at the lady as they scan her trying to prove her powers.
The goat is the first to open his mouth; "My Queen, I would like to explain all of it in details but the 'High Landers' are closing here."
"High Landers? Wait... who are you guys?! Tell me first!" The lady spoke.
"My Queen, I am not saying this just for you to trust us or anything but solely due to it being the truth." The Dragon spoke as he added; "Even if the whole Universe is planning to kill you, we three will forever protect you with our lives."
The lion nodded as he also added; "We will be the last ones you will have to put your guards up from."
After speaking, the three of them nods their head as the Dragon extended his hands; "My Queen, please come with us and together, we will make you reach the top!"
"The top..." The lady murmurs as she unknowingly extended her hand.
"Let's go!" The Dragon roars as the three of them flew into the sky.
_Brururuuhhhmmm_ The sound of the ground shaking sounded as a massive figure slowly appears.
It has the size almost twenty times that of the Black Dragon with ten wings, it also has four feet and six arms with its massive body and head, it's razor sharp teeth and four eyes.
"My Queen, that is your personal mount, the Suanzhi High Lord Behemoth." The Goat spoke.
The Lion smirks as he nodded; "Subordinates of the Queen! Heed my command! We will leave this place now!"
"YESSS!" Another loud shout of hundreds of thousands sounded as from behind the clouds, an uncountable number of Demonic Beasts are slowly appearing.
"They... They are..." The lady couldn't help but ask.
The three chuckles as the three of them replied; "They are your loyal servants."
"My loyal servants..." The lady couldn't help but be shock.
The three didn't bother anymore as they descend on top of the Behemoth's head and placed the lady there.
Immediately, their group vanishes without leaving a single trace.

Meanwhile, a few hundreds of miles away from Mo Xie.
There are currently ten people rushing to his direction.
Namely, four of them is Shang Ting, Aiqing, Luoyang, and Huolin. The other six are from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire.
Right now, Aiqing is leading the rest to where Mo Xie is. But suddenly, Aiqing stops her move.
"Hmmm? What's the matter Qing'er?" (Shang Ting.)
Aiqing closes her eyes as she slowly descends to the ground. "We need to wait for a bit."
"What's the matter? Did something happen? Can you still feel your father?" Shang Ting asks nervously.
Hearing Shang Ting's words, Aiqing couldn't help but open her eyes slowly as she looks at her mother before closing it again with a chuckle.
"You!!! You're playing again! Stop teasing your mother like that!" Shang Ting spoke with her two hands on her hips.
"Oh, but I am not joking here, mom, because I don't want you to see Father surrounded by countless women." (Aiqing)
"Why?" (Shang Ting)
"He's busy with other women at the moment, so please try again later. Hehe." Aiqing chuckles as she closes her eyes again.
Shang Ting frowns but became speechless at Aiqing's jokes.
"Fufu..."
Hearing this, one of the six people accompanying Shang Ting and Aiqing chuckles. Both of them frowns but decided to ignore it, still, a certain someone decided that his life is not important and spoke.
"Hahaha, then the Matriarch Mo should just forget about that man. Matriarch Mo should just accept the proposal of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is really in love with you Matriarch Mo." The one that spoke is the oldest of the bunch.
This time, Aiqing didn't ignore it and spoke; "Hey, your useless Crown Prince isn't even enough to lift my father's shoe! Even dreaming of stealing his wife, you are lucky just to be alive after saying that."
Hearing Aiqing's words, only one of them frowns.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Aiqing chuckles as she gazes at that person before moving it away; "Our family's tie to your Empire is only of that of a business, we have no other forms of connection with you or your Empire."
The one that frowned is the second Eldest Prince of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, Chu Zhuen.
Chu Zhuen slightly sighs as he slowly calms down; "Young Miss Qing..."
"Mo Aiqing, not Qing, we're not even close, stop talking to me like we are," Aiqing grunted.
Chu Zhuen's brows started to cross but remembering his father and older brother's words, he decided to concede; "If the men of our Empire had misspoken, I sincerely apologize on their behalf."
"As long as you know your position." Aiqing chuckles as one of her eyebrows is up while a provoking smile arch on one side of her cute and lovely little lips.
"Enough of your mischievousness Qing'er, let's go to your father now." Shang Ting spoke.
"Yes my dear lovely mommy, I won't stop anymore." Aiqing winks as she starts to fly ahead.
Shang Ting sighs as she chuckles too and followed behind Aiqing.
"Don't worry mom, I know how you much you want to spend some alone time with father dear for so long now, fufufu." And of course, Aiqing didn't forget to tease Shang Ting.
"You... You!!!" Shang Ting blushes as she rushes forward: "Come here for a second for me!"
"Ehhhh?!" Seeing her Mother dashing forward, Aiqing made a real run for it; "I will stop if you promise not to hurt me!"
"I`ll really get you!" (Shang Ting)
Huolin and Luoyang chuckle as the two of them follows quickly.
"Hmmp! Just all of you wait, after everything is done and dealt with, I will be the first to lead my army to deal with all of you." Chu Zhuen spoke when Aiqing and the others are far away.
"Second Prince, I know that it pains you to hear them say such words, but with their supplies of top-grade Demonic Beast Cores to our Empire, the King and the Crowned Prince is looking at them favorably, we wouldn't be able to do anything to them." The one that spoke is Chu Zhuen's right-hand man and is also the 2nd highest official within the Empire.
"I know that..." Chu Zhuen spoke with displeased expression but it immediately changes as he adds; "But that will only last until I take over the crown!"
"Yes, of course, that is, after all our Plan, oh our Crown Prince." The minister spoke.
"Let's go follow them first." Chu Zhuen led as he flew immediately.
"Yes." The other five nods their head as they follow.

Meanwhile on Mo Xie's side.
"Thank you everything, all of you can rest now." Mo Xie spoke gently to the women that helped him.
Right now, there are so many circles written on the ground as stacks of Demonic Beast corpses are in the middle of it.
Mo Xie had asked the women to help him draw the circles while Zhuding and he placed the demonic beasts on top of it.
"Anything for our savior of course." One of the ladies spoke as she chuckles.
Mo Xie couldn't help but ask them since there are only women and children within the group.
"Then all of you should rest up and wait for the rescuers to arrive." Mo Xie smiled as he spoke.
Everyone bows as they made their way to the far back.
At this time, Zhuding arrives by Mo Xie's side.
"Master, what are all these?" (Zhuding)
Mo Xie looks ahead and stares at more than a thousand circles with demonic beast corpses as he spoke; "This is so we only need to collect their demonic beast cores later."
"Hmm?" Zhuding asks in confusion.
"Well, this is a trap, it's called 'Corpse Explosion formation', Well, we will be wasting the first batch of Demonic Beast cores, but the second and so on batches will be ours to hoard over." Mo Xie spoke as a wide grin on his face plasters.
"That..." Zhuding felt speechless as he couldn't even understand what happened.
Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckles as he spoke; "Remember the seals I strictly instructed the ladies to draw precisely? Well, that's the formation, and the next stage is for the two of us to pour some of our Spiritual Energy in it."
After speaking, Mo Xue chuckles as he spoke; "Let's go."
"Yes, Master." Without even understanding everything, Zhuding nods his head; [The poor souls that will fall victim to my Master, I shall pray for your souls.]
I became extremely busy with work, but now that I returned, I find it extremely hard to write like I used to... I`m extremely sorry for that... my imagination is still not coming back to how it was before.
-
Wait for me, I`ll definitely get everything back to how it used to be, we still have until august.
