Chapter 82 - Leaving For The Southern Dusk Empire (3)
This freak actually has this ability… Leng Ruoxue stared at him in astonishment for a few seconds.
"Xue"er, I"ll get shy if you keep looking at me like that!" Ye Chen"s heart was racing as he reminded her.
"…"
"Let"s go in!" Leng Ruoxue looked away awkwardly.
After entering, they discovered that even though the outside of the treasury was inconspicuous, it was a whole different world inside. It seemed that this Prime Minister Fu was quite good at hiding things.
There were three rooms in the treasury. Leng Ruoxue, Ye Chen, and Charm split up, and each of them was responsible for looting one room. After looting everything, they quickly left the treasury.
"Xue"er, Prime Minister Fu"s study should be in front, right?" Ye Chen guessed that they were already in the main courtyard..
"Probably."
"The main courtyard isn"t guarded?" Ye Chen was surprised.
"Not in the open, but in the dark. Quill and Charm already knocked them out," Leng Ruoxue explained.
"Oh."
In the study, Prime Minister Fu said to a man in black gloomily, "Sir, no one in the Supreme Hall made it to the top thirty through the Heavenly Phoenix Academy"s selection compet.i.tion. This has completely messed up our plan!"
"It"s okay. Even if they"ve been selected, they might not have the chance to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion," the man in black said nonchalantly.
"Sir, you mean…"
"You don"t have to worry about this matter. Just do your part well," the man in black said coldly.
"Yes."
"Sir, Leng Ruoxue is General Leng"s most beloved granddaughter. Do you think…"
"What"s the big deal about General Leng? He"s only a person, no matter how powerful he is. How can our patriarch be afraid of him? It"s only a matter of time before we deal with him," the black-clothed person said confidently.
d.a.m.n it! Not only do they want to deal with me, but they also wanted to deal with Grandpa!
Fortunately, they came to the right study. Otherwise, she wouldn"t have known that people were scheming against her and her family. At this point, Leng Ruoxue, who was hiding in the dark, had a flash of killing intent in her beautiful eyes.
"Xue"er, let"s leave first and discuss further," Ye Chen reminded her.
Leng Ruoxue nodded. They jumped onto Quill"s back and disappeared into the night.
After talking to Prime Minister Fu, the man in black left the prime minister"s mansion.
"Who are you?" the man in black vigilantly asked the two humans and two beasts who suddenly appeared in front of him. He couldn"t sense their strength at all.
"You"ll know when you reach h.e.l.l…" A cold voice reached the black-robed man"s ears.
"Aaahhhh!" A scream resounded in the darkness…
…
Misty Woods, the territory of fire rhinoceroses
"Will they come?" Ye Chen asked curiously while looking at Leng Ruoxue. He and Xue"er were here very early to wait for them.
"We"ll know later." Before coming, she had instructed Quill to drug the team. The drug could cause hallucinations. After the previous incident, she knew that they would definitely want to avoid the fire rhinoceroses" territory. But she wanted them to come to her door on their own accord. Moreover, she had sprinkled another drug on the road to the fire rhinoceroses" territory. The two drugs happened to work together and attracted each other, so they had no choice but to come.
Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen waited in the fire rhinoceroses" territory for a while before the people caught in the trap arrived.
When they arrived at the fire rhinoceroses" territory, the drug that Leng Ruoxue administered to them just happened to become effective.
"Why are you here, simpleton?" Fu Mingzhu questioned Leng Ruoxue, her eyes full of hatred.
"Why can"t I be here?" Leng Ruoxue asked back. It was time for the effects of Fu Mingzhu"s drug to wear off, and she had completely forgotten what happened last night.
"Then there"s only the two of you here? Hmph, a man and a woman alone, how shameless!" Fu Mingzhu said disdainfully. Obviously, she had forgotten how she had chased after this man back then.
"Isn"t there still you guys? There are many spirit beasts here as well!" Leng Ruoxue said with a spurious smile.
"Where is this?" At this moment, the expression of one of the teachers leading the team changed. Didn"t we deliberately avoid the fire rhinoceroses" territory? Why did we come here again?
"What"s the matter?" Elder w.a.n.g asked in puzzlement.
"This is the territory of the fire rhinoceroses."
"Are you sure?" Elder w.a.n.g asked. Fire rhinoceroses were very barbaric spirit beasts that even Spiritual Supremacies were unwilling to provoke.
"Yes, it was this place the last time," a teacher whispered.
"Leave this place quickly!" Elder w.a.n.g said decisively. Spirit beasts were all very vengeful.
"Everyone, leave this place immediately!" one of the teachers shouted.
"Leave? It"s too late!" Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
"Leng Ruoxue, what do you mean?" Elder w.a.n.g asked calmly.
"Elder w.a.n.g, haven"t you noticed that this place has already been surrounded by fire rhinoceroses?"
As Leng Ruoxue finished speaking, the fire rhinoceros king led its subordinates swaggering out from behind the trees.
"It"s her! She was the one who stole our fire rhinoceros fruits!" The fire rhinoceros king pointed at Fu Mingzhu. It was this d.a.m.n woman who attracted the jinx to them, so he really hated this woman to death.
"So it was really you," Leng Ruoxue said coldly. In fact, she had guessed long ago that Fu Mingzhu might be the one who stole the fire rhinoceros fruits and provoked the fire rhinoceroses. Probably no one else had the capability to bribe everyone to give the same false testimony.
"Me? I didn"t," Fu Mingzhu denied guiltily. She would never admit it, even if she died.
"It doesn"t matter whether you admit it or not. What"s important is that none of you can leave this place today," Leng Ruoxue said with bloodl.u.s.t, her eyes full of killing intent.
"What do you want to do?" Elder w.a.n.g pretended to be calm.
"To avenge my elder brother, of course."
"You… Don"t be rash. If the academy gets wind of this, it won"t let you off," Elder w.a.n.g threatened. He didn"t know why these fire rhinoceroses listened to Leng Ruoxue, but he could only use the academy to pressure her now.
"Dead people can"t talk," Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
"Who"s going to tell me why you falsely accused my brother?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the students who were trembling in fear.
