347 Chapter 347 “Invitation“
In just less than a minute, Huo Bai Lei body was completely drowned inside the lava lake. His body melted into nothing.
His blood also suddenly dyed the lake with dark red while his bone also melted into ash, leaving nothing behind. It created a cruel and scary view for those who saw how the lava lake turned red with Huo Bai Lei blood.
Huo Bai Lei life ended in less than a minute followed by the referee announcing that Li s.h.i.+ Ying won the battle with shaking voice.
"Li s.h.i.+ Ying...win!" Right after the referee announced this, the barrier surrounding the arena vanished and the audience could finally enter the arena.
!!
"Sect head!! Sect head!!" the people from the pure jade sect quickly approached the arena when the barrier had gone after the battle end, in hope they could at least get something remaining from his body.
Their sect head...die! He lost in riddle battle against a 15 years old girl! This...is impossible!
Jiu Wei and the others seeing the pure jade sect people reacted, also quickly approach Li s.h.i.+ Ying in high speed. They were afraid those people would try to kill Li s.h.i.+ Ying after their sect head die.
"Mistress! Good job!" Jiu Wei quickly took Li s.h.i.+ Ying from her seat and summon the giant golden eagle to take them out of the pure jade sect. Well there was no floor aside from the lava lake so they could only float on air.
"uhh yeah I am lucky" Li s.h.i.+ Ying sighed in relief after she got on the golden eagle back together with Qi Tou, Chen and Di Yu.
It was so close! She was bad at guessing riddle but thanks to her knowledge about hard riddle, she could barely win.
Also...if it hadn"t be for Thén Sin Lung giving her that last riddle when she was still in her world, maybe she would have die now.
Thank you Sin Lung! Even if you betray me in the past, somehow you still indirectly saved me!
Li s.h.i.+ Ying was so nervous but now the battle had ended and they were already on the way back, her body suddenly felt tired.
TUK.
When Li s.h.i.+ Ying wobbled a little, Chen who sat behind her quickly catch her body and slowly let her leaned to his chest.
"A-ah thanks" Even though Li s.h.i.+ Ying felt embarra.s.sed, her body was so tired from all the stress earlier making her reluctant to woke up now.
Let her lean to Chen for now!
"It"s alright miss as long as miss is safe. But seriously..I have no idea that miss is so good at making riddle" Chen who saw Li s.h.i.+ Ying was alright, stroke her hair gently as he asked this question he had wondered for quite a time.
Somehow from the way his bunny reacted to this riddle battle...it was as if she already knew about it from long time ago. She also could skillfully answer and made hard riddle for Huo Bai Lei.
This...was indeed strange right?
"Mn..I"m just lucky..." When Chen stroked her hair, Li s.h.i.+ Ying felt so comfortable and sleepy at the same time. Added with the soft breeze when the golden eagle flew at the sky, Li s.h.i.+ Ying slowly fell into a deep sleep while still leaning on Chen"s chest.
Looking at their mistress who fell asleep on the way back to the inn, all the people on top of golden eagle back, went silent as to not disturb her.
Meanwhile at pure jade sect, they were currently receiving a special guest from middle realm who turned out to be Huo Bai Lei friend, Meng Yue Ming master!
"What?? Huo Bai Lei die? Lost in riddle battle against a 15 years old girl?" Meng Yue Ming master who had just arrived at the pure jade sect to find information about Li s.h.i.+ Ying, was shocked to the core hearing this news.
This...his friend die because of a 15 years old girl and that girl...he guessed she must be Li s.h.i.+ Ying!
"Didn"t Huo Bai Lei give her the hardest riddle he got? How could he still lost" Meng Yue Ming master frowned feeling stressed.
Huo Bai Lei should gave that girl this riddle Lord Thén made back then, how could he still lost?
"T-that girl...can guess the answer..." One of the pure jade sect people carefully answered Meng Yue Ming"s master question.
"...fine..dismissed!" The old man waved his hand angrily as he quickly told Thén Sin Lung about this news.
5 minutes later...
"Ho...then that girl is really Li s.h.i.+ Ying, the one I am searching for. That riddle is the one I have told her. Tell me where her next destination I"ll be there too" Thén Sin Lung had a smile after Meng Yue Ming"s master called him through a special stone.
Li s.h.i.+ Ying! It was really you! Now after he heal this girl...he would be able to see her again. Just wait!
Back at the inn.
Currently Li s.h.i.+ Ying was happily having dinner with Jiu Wei and the others when suddenly they get an invitation. From the palace!
"What? Invitation to the emperor"s birthday banquet?! Why us??"
