Chapter (20)

Casting out a spell, the blue spiritual roots circulated in the air and wrapped the girl and the young man who was held by Wu Yuhang.

"Are you using your spiritual essence on these fools?" Feng Feiyu growled.

"What is this heinous act, free me if you want to stay alive."

Wang Hua menaced and it made Feng Feiyu laugh, "Idiot Hag."

As he said that, the hag's figure and features began to transform, and also the same thing was happening to the other one.

Mouths fell open as they saw the pretty girls, or better to say the most gorgeous ones they had ever seen. As Wu Yuhang guessed, the person he captured was a white dove and had a weak spiritual essence, she had never cultivated and her magic was insignificant.

"..."

Yu Jia Yi was about to call Wang Hua's name but she studied her face and avoided her by shaking her head. They both were twisting in pain, if they knew it would hurt this much, they wouldn't consume the elixir.

Wu Yuhang quickly dropped the girl and she crept near her horse. He felt his heart pounding, what was going on here?

But among all those men, only Li Bai was startled, this girl? His savior? What was she doing here while…

Luo Hao Yu said that he had investigated this girl's case in the villages near the Spirit forest and all commoners claimed that they had never seen someone like that.

'Perhaps I gave him the wrong information, she wasn't from those villages!'

Wang Hua stood up and kept her sword toward him, "Who are you? Are you longing for death?"

As she asked this question, a White eagle screeched and landed on the ground, tied a squirrel demon to a magical white rope, and tossed him in front of the man.

Li Bai was still looking at the girl and slowly turned and his eyes caught the bamboo basket, he was right! The black cub was inside that basket. She couldn't keep her totem inside her spirit as she lacked the spiritual magic core.

But why did she hide her identity? How did she gain such an expensive elixir that belonged to Martial superiors? Even they needed permission to supply these types of elixirs.

Everyone knew the law, using some of the elixirs was prohibited for ordinary people. She could be jailed and not only that, what was her intention for consuming it?

"Boss, please tell him not to kill me. I will do everything you wish."

When he was evaluating the situation the squirrel barked out, pleading with him.

"Please save me!"

No one paid attention.

Wang Hua rushed to the squirrel, kicking him, "You thief, where is my gold?"

The demon took a glimpse of her, "Sister, I don't even know you. Have we met before?"

"That's the old hag." Feng Feiyu proclaimed.

Wang Hu's lips twitched up as anger swept through her veins, she was glad that she had taken back her real figure to kill this demon.

"This hag just transformed into a..."

Prince Li Jinhai uttered, he was bewildered and a bit slow to note that.

The white eagle shifted to his human form and walked to Prince Jinhai, "What is this dangerous air around here?"

"These two, they had engulfed 'Face Slap' elixir."

The eagle laughed, "Then these pretty little devils signed their death penalty."

Yu Jia Yi screamed inwardly, the death penalty?

"Wha.. at?" she stuttered and her eyes met Wu Yuhang's eyes.

"Is he your boss?"

Wan Hu pointed out to Li Bai with the tip of her sword.

The squirrel immediately bobbed his head, "Yes, he is my amazing great merciful boss."

That flattery had no impact indeed.

'He knew that I would escape, he schemed this to test me and I failed it, you stupid Dishi."

The demon blamed himself, now he wasn't sure if he could survive however those piercing eyes of the white tiger sucked all of his strength out of him already. Let alone that this white eagle might eat him.

Wang Hua stormed to Li Bai like a flaming ball.

"You thief boss, bring my gold back! How dare you steal my gold?"

Luo Hao Yu appeared between the prince and the girl, "Watch your mouth, lady!"

Lady? Didn't they just humiliate her for being a hag? Now, what happened?

Li Bai chuckled and placed a hand on his Lord's shoulder then walked forward, "How silly you are? Aren't you a thief? How did you earn that gold?"

The prince had no intention to reveal his identity. This girl was useful and he would want to make her follow him, even if it took him to disguise himself as a thief.

"This is entirely confusing!"

Feng Feiyu declared calmly but as long as he was entertained, he didn't mind and just folded his arms across his chest and watched how his highness would handle the situation.

"I didn't steal my golds, I earned them, I sold my Crane herb."

She shouted as loud as she could, assuming that it could have impacted these men.

"Wow, is it easy to find such a rare herb? Don't tell me that you wander in the Spirit forest!" Luo Hao Yu mocked.

"Crane herb? Are you finding us fools? Only one family in the whole Chenshi region has the proficiency to distinguish spiritual herbs."

Upon hearing that, a chill skittered down her spine. These people shouldn't realize who she was.

Li Bai was dubious about his discoveries, as long as he knew, alchemist Wang Shufeng had two daughters, and the youngest one was endowed by heavens with 'Distinction Power'. Could this girl be related to the Wang Family? She was talented enough to identify the herbs.

"I found it in Spirit Forest, so I didn't steal it."

Li Bai was amazed by her answer, she kept hiding that she had the ability. She saved him last night and if it wasn't for her he might have been still struggling to get out of illusion. It was their faith that they ran to each other again.

His eyes sharpened and exuded a mysterious aura.

"Dishi, where is her gold?"

Wang Hua grinned, "You better come on common terms with me, boss thief."

She threatened.
