Beauty and the Bodyguard

The Vermilion Bird suddenly felt that the puppet king he had found was not as simple as he seemed. This fellow was much more scheming than he had expected.

However, even though he had clearly seen through the other party's intentions, the Vermillion Bird could not disobey the order in public for such a small matter. After all, this was in front of everyone. Moreover, the other party was the absolute master of the spirit beast clan in name. The Vermillion Bird could not lose the big picture for a small matter and give the other party a handle.

In fact, if one thought about it carefully, one would realize that this move of the puppet king seemed meaningless and was inexplicably useless. However, there was actually a profound meaning behind it.

If the Vermilion Bird chose to give in in public, it would give the other party a chance to push their luck. In other words, it would give the Vermilion Bird the capital to negotiate with it. In order to prevent the other party from interfering in key issues in the future, the Vermilion Bird had to give in to a certain extent. There was no other choice.

If the Vermilion Bird chose to disobey the order in public, the problem would be even more serious. Even if it joined forces with the Azure Dragon to control most of the forces of the spirit beast clan, don't forget that there were still two other top-level elders watching covetously. These were both ambitious and powerful heroes. They did not dare to act rashly now, but once they caught hold of something that could be used against them, they would definitely not hesitate to use the banner of purging the emperor's side. That would be a headache.

Thinking of this, even the Vermilion Bird could not help but be secretly shocked and break out in a cold sweat. It was obviously a meaningless improvisation, but he did not expect that there was such a deep scheme hidden behind it. It was really a little scary.

The Vermilion Bird could not help but take a deep look at the king of spiritual beasts under the seven-colored bamboo hat. She secretly hoped that she was overthinking it. Otherwise, she was afraid that there would be endless trouble in the future.

The Vermilion Bird and Azure Dragon were on guard, but the king of spirit beasts was as calm as water. It didn't seem to have any intention of interfering with their appointment as the governor of Demon City. It just sat there quietly, its mask facing the direction Lin Yi left in. No one knew what it was thinking.

After leaving the spirit beast meet's venue with ease, Lin Yi didn't hesitate to use all his power, using the Super limit butterfly micro steps that he hadn't mastered yet. His body turned into a Ghost as he shuttled through the dense forest, quickly getting away from the group of terrifying spirit beasts.

Although the king of the spirit beasts had pardoned him, Lin Yi knew that he didn't have any chance to dawdle. He said that he wanted to find a place to relieve himself, and he couldn't drag it out for too long. The spirit beasts would find out something was wrong, and he wouldn't be able to escape.

But even so, Lin Yi's actions were very risky. The Vermilion Bird had been using its divine sense to monitor the entire scene. If it noticed that Lin Yi was running away, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird was focused on how to deal with the king of spirit beasts and wouldn't continue to monitor the scene with his spirit sense for a while. Plus, Lin Yi was just an insignificant character, so he wouldn't bother looking for him.

Even if they ran away, they would only think that they were too scared to come back.

This went on for a whole incense's time, and they were at least a hundred miles away from the spirit beast meet. Lin Yi's suspended heart finally calmed down a little, and he let out a long breath with lingering fear. This time, he really had escaped death by a hair's breadth, and it was pure luck.

But even so, Lin Yi didn't dare to stop completely. He used his super butterfly microstep and continued to run. He didn't know if the Vermilion Bird had his eyes on him, and he didn't know how far the Vermilion bird's divine sense could cover. For safety's sake, he had to run as far as possible.

As for not using the Super limit butterfly microstep, he had no other choice. This kind of super-stimulated state was bound to pay a huge price. If it was maintained for a long time, a large number of cells in the body would "die of overwork" immediately. That was an act of self-harm.

Lin Yi didn't want to risk his life like this even with his self-healing ability-he only used the Super butterfly microsteps when it was necessary, and it was better to use it during normal times since he was already pretty fast.

As he ran, Lin Yi exclaimed in his heart,"I didn't expect this new king of spirit beasts to be such a good person. Oh no, a good spirit beast!"

Just now, when he was suppressed by the pressure of the spirit beast guards, he didn't move an inch on the surface. He looked as if he wouldn't change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. How could he really be so?

His heart almost exploded just now. If he was even a second late, he would have died without a burial place. It was too damn thrilling!

"That new king of spirit beasts feels a little strange ... Do you know him?" The ghostly thing was also bewildered at this moment. Even he had thought that he would die for sure this time, but he had never thought that he would be able to survive, and in such a way at that. It was really confusing.

"Pfft!" Lin Yi almost spat out his drink."Senior, if you, the former Azure Dragon elder, don't know him, how can I, a human cultivator from the secular world, know the king of spirit beasts?"

"That's true," The demonic thing also felt that it was impossible, but the doubt in its heart still lingered."But if you don't know him at all, what did he mean by what he said just now? he even mentioned the Great Fire Lion Clan in Lufeng forest. That doesn't make sense, and from its perspective, there's no reason for it to save you ..."

"I don't know about that. Maybe I'm just making a wild guess. I mentioned Lufeng forest and there aren't many spirit beasts there. The only spirit beasts in the entire family there are probably the Great Fire Lion and the great Spider. It's not entirely impossible to guess." Lin Yi pondered for a moment before continuing,"Even if it knows me, it can't recognize me like this. I'm still wearing the thousand silk mask!"

"It's true that you're wearing a mask, but it's only to change your appearance. Your figure and voice haven't changed at all. It's possible to fool strangers, but it's impossible to fool those who are interested in you." The demonic thing denied.

"That doesn't make sense. I have no interaction with this new king of spirit beasts. It has never seen me before, and I have never seen it before. I don't even know what kind of spirit beast it is." Lin Yi shook his head before his eyes lit up."If we're talking about any interactions, senior, the possibility of it being you is higher. Could it have sensed your aura?"

"This ... Maybe ..." The ghastly thing was stunned. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please read on M.Qidian.com.)
