Chapter 51 The Ninth Son Part 3

The grey wolf growled at the three dogs and walked slowly towards the dogs that refused to retreat, as if they were ready to attack the grey wolf.

The hunting dogs rushed towards the grey wolf. The first dog attacked the gray wolf head-on, and the other two dogs attacked the grey wolf from the left and right sides, but with the size of the grey wolf, it was difficult for the three dogs to knock down the grey wolf.

One of Kexin's subordinates said, "My lady, I have never seen such a big wolf."

Kexin said, "Although that wolf is big, it is one against three. We will surely win."

Michio has a good impression of the grey wolf. After all, the grey wolf carried him across Skeleton Desert, down from the top of the mountain, and helped his two friends who needed help in Skull Forest. Michio grabbed his spear and went forward, but Hajime stopped Michio.

Michio said, " What are you doing? I'm not going to let those dog tag teams attack my favorite rides."

Hajime reached into his pouch, grabbed the black panther wooden figure, and threw it on the ground. The panther got up quickly and lunged forward to grab one of the dogs by the neck. The black panther's long fangs bit the dog's neck tightly. Within a minute, the panther threw the dog to the ground, staring at the person a few feet away, and the dying dog lay motionless at his feet.

Kexin and the others quickly drew their weapons and slowly backed away from the black panther who was standing a few meters away from them. The two dogs quickly retreated towards Kexin and the others.

The grey wolf and the big black panther snarled at Kexin and her men, and Kexin's whole body turned pale. Her hands were shaking so badly that she even had a hard time preventing her sword from falling on the ground.

When Hajime decided to take over the mage's body, he had decided that he would never fall prey to other entertainment in his life. He gritted his teeth and said, "Tear up those dogs."

Yul can see the intense hatred in Hajime's eyes as the two magical beasts slowly make their way towards the group of people standing not far away. He knew that those magical beasts could cause serious injuries to others, and if they were injured, Hajime would be injured as well. Yul took Hajime's hand and said, "Hajime, that's enough..."

Hajime gritted his teeth, " You don't know...I hate these kinds of people the most. Just because they were born with a golden spoon in their mouth, they think they have the right to do whatever they want without having to bear any consequences."

Yul held Hajime's face in both hands and said, " Look at me, not them. Look at me... No matter what happens, how many difficulties we will face, you have to remember, me and the people behind you, we will not abandon you. We will stand by your side and would sacrifice our lives to protect you if we had to."

Hajime tried his best to hold back his tears, but at this moment, in this painful moment, he saw that he was like a boiling pot with a lid tightly closed, and at any time, the boiling water in the pot would overflow. He looks into Yul's eyes, and he sees a warm look in Yul's eyes. Looking at his own reflection in Yul's eyes, the anger he had accumulated over the years turned into tears, slowly streaming down his pale cheeks.

Yul knew that at this moment, what Hajime needed most was someone to comfort him and reassure him that they would not abandon him. Yul smiled and said, "We're a family now...so, we won't leave each other behind..." Yul kissed Hajime's forehead and hugged Hajime tightly inside his arms. "In other words, you can't abandon us either." He wiped away Hajime's tears.

The two magical beasts suddenly turned into two thumb-sized wooden figures on the ground. Michio walked over and picked up the two wooden figures. His eyes were still locked on Kexin and the others.

Abrafo said, " Don't bully our little mage, he looks weak, but he can tear you to pieces if he wants."

Kexin asked, "What are you men?"

Michio looked at Kexin with a smile and said, "Oh... I forgot to introduce ourselves, we are from Tangzang Kingdom."

Kexin said, "I've never heard of it."

Michio was surprised and said, "You haven't heard of Tangzang."

Kexin shook her head and said, "No... According to the site map, the city farther from the Golden Desert is Greead."

U-ri laughed. "Hah... so Skeleton Desert actually has a name," he said, looking at Abrafo. "The giant crab..." He walked up to Kexin. " Why is that city called Greead? What a strange name."

Kexin said, "Greead, the Great City of the Dead. If you walk past it, you will understand why this city got its name." She sighed.

Approaching them were ten men on horseback. The men stopped in front of the group of people, and Lixin got off his horse and stood beside Kexin.

Lixin looked at the five Tanzanias, and then at Kexin. "Are you causing trouble again?" Lixin asked.

Kexin said, "It's not my fault, it's their fault. Our white deer was lost."

Lixin looked at the five Tanzanies and said, "Gentlemen, we have been tracking that white deer for four days...we have waited a whole year for that white deer to show up. You have wasted our time and efforts."

Abrafo said, " You can't blame us. It was caused by her and her men." He pointed at Kexin. "She's so bad at archery that even if Yul hadn't cut the arrow in half, the arrow would still miss the target. And the deer was standing right in front of them, and she still couldn't catch it. So, it's not our fault, because we never stopped her from chasing it."

Kexin murmured, "Brother, they said they are from Tangzang Kingdom."

Lixin said, "I've never heard of it." He walked towards the men. "In that case, you don't mind if we stay here and wait for white deer." He looked at Yul, as if waiting for the leader of the group to give him an answer.

Yul asked, "Why do you need that white deer so much?"

Lixin smiled and said, "We have our reasons." Lixin stepped forward. "If we don't fight, we may not know each other. I'm Lixin, and this is my half-sister, Kexin. My sister said, "You are all from Tangzang Kingdom, correct?"

Yul said, "Yes..."

Lixin said, "I'm sorry brother, we have never heard of such a kingdom. There is no kingdom here. The land under your feet is a vast land that anyone can claim for himself. Every city has its own ruler. If you come in peace, we will welcome you with open arms, but if not, we will not hesitate to end the lives of our enemies."

U-ri said, " We're just travelers who happened to get lost and somehow found our way here by mistake. So, what's the name of this place?"

Lixin looked at U-ri and smiled, "Really? Ordinary travelers?"

U-ri nodded.

Lixin asked, "Then, which way did you come from?"

U-ri pointed in the direction of the Skull Forest.

Lixin burst out laughing. "You mean, you really crossed the Forbidden Forest of the Skull Forest?"

Li Xin and others laughed at the five Tanzanies, while Kexin and others remained silent because they already knew that Hajime could summon his puppets into a real killing beast.

Lixin laughed enough, turned to look at Kexin and asked, "You and your subordinates don't laugh anymore, why?"

Kexin said, " Because I saw the ability of the white-haired man."

Yul looks at the arrogant brother and sister, he doesn't want to deal with them anymore. "Stay if you want, but don't disturb us," Yul said, holding Hajime's hand and walking towards the cabin with the others.

Through the thick undergrowth, those blue eyes were watching Hajime and Yul, who were walking a yard away to the cabin.

"It's so funny that these mortals actually climbed this mountain without me noticing," Baishui said with a giggle as he watched Hajime and Yul. "Should I introduce myself?"

"Your Highness shouldn't," Jiāo said.

"I'm kind of wondering how these people could come to my cabin without me noticing," Baishui said.

Jiāo looked at Baishui and said, " My lord, do you still remember the last time you stepped out of the realm?" Her gaze flashed past Baishui.

"Little missy, if it wasn't for you, I would have escaped long ago," Baishui said, turning his face away. "Look at him." Baishui pointed at Hajime. "He looks just like me."

Jiāo said, "But our unknown intruders are not like you with two white horns on your head." She holds up two fingers on each hand, then places her hands on each side of her temples.

Baishui tapped her on the head twice. "You silly fish," he said, looking back at Hajime and Yul.

Jiāo rubbed her forehead, "It hurts...it hurts." She grabbed Biashui's arms "Let's go back before King Tianlong finds out that you had stepped out of your chamber."

Baishui said, "Jiāo, I haven't come out for many years...I need to breathe fresh air."

Jiāo said, "No... go back to your chamber." She continued to drag Baishui towards the mountain lake.

Baishui struggled to break free. "Jiāo... wait a few more minutes."

Jiāo said, "No, last time you were punished, I was punished together with you." She continued to drag Baishui away from the unknown intruders.

Dark clouds covered the evening sun, and the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy. Thunder began to bloom on the top of the mountain. Jiāo said worriedly, "Ninth Prince, go back quickly, King Nan is here to see us."

Light rain began to shed on the misty hills. Baishui looked at Jiāo and frowned, "I'm going to be in trouble again, am I?" Seeing Jiāo's disappointed expression, he smiled.
