Chapter 912 - The Golden Horse City
Chapter 912 The Golden Horse City
The Little Witch pulled a long face after she heard his refusal. She pouted and said, “You don’t agree, do you? I’ll tell my grandma your secret when we get back to the academy. I’ll tell her that you lied to her.”
“Uh...”
Qin Haodong was suddenly afraid. If he really fell into the hands of the unreasonable old lady, she might send him to the palace to be a eunuch.
“Alright! I’ll do it.”
Qin Haodong could only hold the Little Witch in his arms and lower his head to kiss her delicate red lips.
They hadn’t returned all night. The people at the camp were not too concerned but Zhao Xingyue was in a panic. She took Fang Qiong’er’s hand and said, “Sister Fang, why hasn’t my Big Brother Qin come back yet? Do you think something happened?”
Fang Qiong’er said, “Don’t worry. With your Big Brother Qin’s ability, he will be fine. They must have something important to do.”
For some reason, she had inexplicable trust in Qin Haodong.
Hearing the conversation between the two people, although You Wanjian did not speak, he cursed in his heart, “They’d better die outside and never come back.”
Zhao Xingyue said worriedly, “But we are leaving soon. Why haven’t they come back yet?”
At this moment, two small black dots appeared in the sky and flew quickly towards them.
“Big Brother Qin is back!”
Zhao Xingyue immediately jumped up excitedly and flew toward the two people.
But when she saw the two people clearly, the smile on Zhao Xingyue’s face disappeared in an instant. The people who came were not Qin Haodong and the Little Witch, but two men, one old and one young.
The old man looked about 60 years old, had a long sword on his back and a strong momentum.
Beside him was a man in his 30s, who was quite handsome. However, he had a lewd look in his eyes.
Since they were not her Big Brother Qin and the Little Witch, Zhao Xingyue turned around and was about to fly back.
At the same time, the two saw Zhao Xingyue as well.
After seeing her beautiful appearance, the young man’s eyes instantly lit up and a lustful smile appeared on his face. “Chick, don’t run. Since we’ve encountered each other, it’s fate. How about having some fun with me?”
Zhao Xingyue was originally timid. When she heard the young man’s words, she knew that this guy was not a good person. Thus, she fled frantically in the direction of the camp.
“Father, I want that girl!”The young man let out a shout and chased after her quickly.
The old man smiled faintly. He had no intention of stopping the young man. Instead, he followed unhurriedly behind the young man.
“Sister Fang, save me!”
Zhao Xingyue fled back to the camp in a panic and immediately ran into the shelter of Fang Qiong’er’s arms.
At this time, everyone saw the father and son who were following closely behind. Tu Jiaojiao stepped forward and asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
The young man stopped and said proudly, “My name is Xiahou Zhen. This is my father, Xiahou Hongfei. My uncle is the great general of the Golden Horse City, Xiahou Hongxiang.”
After hearing his identity, everyone was stunned. The Golden Horse City was very famous in the Tortoise Kingdom. It was the number one city besides the capital. The Pagoda Mountain was also within the jurisdiction of the city. This guy was actually the nephew of the great general Xiahou Hongxiang.
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Xiahou Zhen said proudly, “Now you know who I am. Hurry up and hand over that girl to me.”
“What did my sister do to offend you, Mr. Xiahou? Why should we hand her over to you?” Yun Qianqian asked.
Xiahou Zhen said, “No reason. She’s so lucky. I like her and want to take her to be my 13th concubine.”
Zhao Xingyue nervously grabbed Fang Qiong’er’s arm. “Sister Fang, I don’t like this person. Please don’t hand me over to him.”
“Don’t be afraid. No one can take you away from us.” Fang Qiong’er comforted Zhao Xingyue. Then she turned to Xiahou Zhen and said, “Mr. Xiahou, we are students of the Tortoise Academy. We are still young. We are not at the age to talk about marriage, so we can’t accept your kindness.”
Although her words were reserved, she pointed out their identities. One must know that in the Tortoise Kingdom, the Tortoise Academy had an extremely high position. Not only were there many masters in the academy, but many of the generals in the kingdom also came from the Tortoise Academy.
Although Xiahou Zhen’s uncle was a general, the Tortoise Academy was not a pushover either.
Unfortunately, Xiahou Zhen had always been a dude. He didn’t listen to her words at all. He only had eyes for women.
“I don’t care who you are. Anyway, I’ve taken a fancy to that girl. Hurry up and hand her over. Or, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“What are you doing?” Murong Jinghong said angrily. “Are you trying to kidnap her?”
“You’re right. I will take her away. What can you do about it?” Xiahou Zhen said proudly, “cut the crap! Or, I’ll take you away with me, too!”
Murong Jinghong drew her sword and said in anger, “How dare you?”
Xiahou Zhen proudly said, “In the territory of our Golden Horse City, there is nothing that I dare not do. Let alone the students from the Tortoise Academy, even if you were princesses, I will still do it.”
Just then, Xiahou Hongfei, who was standing behind, spoke up.
“You kids are really ignorant. It’s her blessing that my son likes her. Don’t give any excuses. Get out of my way. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
Speaking of this, the momentum suddenly erupted from his body. He was a master at the stage of the Combination Realm.
On the side of the Tortoise Academy, the highest cultivation was the late stage of the Voiding Realm. They suddenly met a master of the Combination Realm, so everyone’s faces became serious.
“Senior Xiahou, are you trying to bully the weak?”
It was Zhong Xiaodie who spoke. She strode forward and stood beside Zhao Xingyue. Even though she was facing a master of the Combination Realm, there was no fear in her eyes.
Xiahou Hongfei laughed coldly. “I originally didn’t want to bully the weak but all of you don’t know what’s good for you. So long as you hand over that little girl, I’ll absolutely not make things difficult for all of you.”
Fang Qiong’er said coldly, “Stop dreaming. We won’t hand Sister Xingyue over to you.”
Even though she knew she was no match for the opponents, her tone was firm. Qin Haodong told her to look after Zhao Xingyue. Even at the cost of her life, she would protect Zhao Xingyue.
Yun Qianqian, Murong Jinghong and the others also said, “We will never hand her over!”
Xiahou Hongfei’s expression changed. He said with a fierce look, “A group of reckless children. I am telling you now. Whatever my son wants must be given.
“Hand over that girl today so that all of you can leave this place alive. Otherwise, all of you will die here.”
After that, his killing intent rose again. He was about to take action.
Murong Jinghong and the others also drew their weapons. They were ready to fight at any time.
“Can you let us discuss this, Senior Xiahou?” Tu Jiaojiao asked at this time.
Xiahou Zhen said proudly, “Okay, you can discuss it as you like. You’d better not annoy my father. Or you’ll suffer.”
He didn’t take the people in front of him seriously at all. Although they were only father and son, in a battle between cultivators, numbers were not the deciding factor. The cultivation level was a vital factor.
His father Xiahou Hongfei had reached the early stage of the Combination Realm. He was also the Strong at the late stage of the Voiding Realm. Thus, they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
Tu Jiaojiao gathered Murong Jinghong, Zhong Xiaodie, and You Wanjian, who had reached the late stage of the Voiding Realm, together and whispered, “Let’s discuss how to deal with them.”
You Wanjian said indifferently, “There’s nothing to discuss. The Xiahou father and son are not here for us at all. As long as we hand over that good-for-nothing, everything will be fine.”
Murong Jinghong was enraged. “You Wanjian, what nonsense are you spouting? Zhao Xingyue is our companion. How can we just hand her over like that?
“When Qin Haodong left, he entrusted Zhao Xingyue to us. If we hand her over, how can we explain it to Qin Haodong?”
You Wanjian said disdainfully, “Companion? She’s just a good-for-nothing. We don’t need to offend the Xiahou father and son all because of her.
“Besides, who is Qin Haodong? We don’t owe him anything. Why should we give him an explanation?”
Murong Jinghong said angrily, “You Wanjian, do you still have a conscience? Qin Haodong saved you twice and healed your injuries. How dare you say that you don’t owe him anything?”
“Well, I don’t want to argue with you about this.” You Wanjian waved his hand impatiently. “The problem now is that we can’t help even if we want to.
“Putting aside the fact that Xiahou Hongxiang is the great general of the Golden Horse City, we cannot afford to offend him. Just the fact that Xiahou Hongfei has reached the stage of the Combination Realm means that all of us are no match for him.”
Tu Jiaojiao said angrily, “You’re a man? Why are you so irresponsible? You are a coward when you meet a master!”
At the same time, she thought of the sentence, ‘Men are born to protect women.’ The guy in front of her claimed to be the top master of the South Academy but compared with Qin Haodong, he was far worse!
You Wanjian said, “It’s not a matter of cowardice. The current situation is clear. He is a master at the stage of the Combination Realm. What can we do?”
“I have an idea. We can fight,” Tu Jiaojiao said.
Zhong Xiaodie said, “No matter what, we can’t hand her over. As long as there is a way, we’ll try.”
Tu Jiaojiao said, “Now the four of us have reached the late stage of the Voiding Realm. Although we can’t compare with Xiahou Hongfei, we can fight together as a team.
“We can stop Xiahou Hongfei. The others can work together to control Xiahou Zhen. As long as we can get a hostage, we do not need to be afraid of the Xiahou father and son team.”
“This is a good idea. We can give it a try,” Murong Jinghong said.
Zhong Xiaodie nodded. “I also think it’s good.”
You Wanjian spread out his hands and said, “Since you have decided, I don’t care.”
“It’s settled. We’ll go over now and fight Xiahou Hongfei.”
After that, Tu Jiaojiao turned around and walked, followed by Zhong Xiaodie and Murong Jinghong.
As soon as she took a few steps, Murong Jinghong felt numb all over. She suddenly lost her strength. Then she was held in someone’s arms and quickly retreated.
She looked back and saw that it was You Wanjian who took her away. She couldn’t help but say angrily, “Bastard. What are you doing? Let me go!”
You Wanjian said with a smirk, “Jinghong Fairy, you are the woman I like. How can I just watch you die?”
Tu Jiaojiao and Zhong Xiaodie also noticed the change behind them. Tu Jiaojiao said angrily, “You Wanjian, let go of Murong Jinghong quickly.”
You Wanjian sneered. “Tu Jiaojiao, it’s said that women with big bosoms are brainless. That means you. I don’t mind if you court death but don’t take me and my woman with you.”
“Bullshit! Who is your woman? Let me go.”
Murong Jinghong was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. It was rare for her to swear. She wished she could kill You Wanjian immediately. Unfortunately, her acupoints were locked. She could not use any strength.
