The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1021 The Chimera

Yang Xi Ying is taken aback "Oh yes, you are Tao Ji Fang's son, the Sword Saint sect master, right?!" Yang Xi Ying breathed a sigh of relief then she store her sword back inside her spatial ring but all of a sudden another thought flashed on her mind "Wait a minute didn't your father attack the Heaven's Gate sect? How did you get here, are you alone, there's no way Master Tao would leave you all alone right?" Yang Xi Ying blurts her thoughts carelessly she doesn't realize Tao Bing Wen pursed her lips into a tight pout.

Well, Yang Xi Ying would not care anyway, for all she knows Tao Bing Wen was so weak, stupid, and hot-headed there was nothing about him could rely on so Tao Ji Fang couldn't possibly leave his son alone, especially in a dangerous situation like this.

Tao Bing Wen was embarrassed by Yang Xi Ying's words but he had no words to refute it because it was true that his father never let him go anywhere alone especially outside their sect because his father and especially his mother were afraid that he would be bullied outside and if not for something unexpected happens he will not be alone now.

"Not that I want to be alone..." Tao Bing Wen scratched his head and the leaves on his head fell he then rubbed his head vigorously to get rid of the leaves on his head.

"What happened?" Yang Xi Ying asked.

"I think it's the same with everyone, a strange monster broke into our house and started killing everyone" Tao Bing Wen's expression turned gloomy "Although I had several guards to protect me, unfortunately when the situation turned precarious people abandoned me and saved themselves, because of it I had no choice but to depend on myself luckily my father left a lot of talismans and amulet to protect myself still not enough so I run away with everything I got and when I realize I already returned to the Empyrean green forest….again." Tao Bing Wen sighed helplessly as he swept his gaze around his surroundings.

"This is Empyrean forest?" Yang Xi Yin widened her eyes in surprise, isn't this place close to Yi Shan mountain, Yang Xi Ying looked up but she couldn't see anything but dense branches.

"Not yet, we are outside the Empyrean Forest we have to walk deeper to reach that forest" Thankfully Tao Bing Wen had previously gone to Empyrean Forest to carry out his foolish ambitions so more or less he knew where they were. Yang Xi Ying was surprised again that Tao Bing Wen was not useless as she thought.

They were suddenly startled by the sound of roars and the sound of animal footsteps. Yang Xi Ying, who had calmed down a lot, thought about her next move then he looked at Tao Bing Wen, "I'm going to Yi Shan mountain, I think I'll meet my friend there"

Tao Bing Wen shook his head frantically "Hey, have you gone mad? Don't you know how dangerous the Empyrean forest is, all the beasts in this place are at a high level even Yang Zhou who is my father's strongest subordinate almost died in that forest!"

The sound of the beast's roar grew louder and the beast's steps drew closer, Yang Xi Ying's face became tense and she said again "It's the same, outside or inside the Empyrean forest is just as dangerous, there is no safe place anymore at least in Yi Shan mountain we're going to meet my friend"

"Who is your friend?" Tao Bing Wen raised his chin arrogantly, he want to know who is the person that she trust so much.

Yang Xi Ying, tying her hair into a bun so as not to block her movements then replied blandly "Long Ming"

"I'm coming with you!" Tao Bing Wen replied without hesitation, "Let's hurry then!"

"...."

Yang Xi Ying rolled her eyes but she admits Long Ming's name can give confidence to anyone but the one who will give her comfort is Lory, she hopes she can meet Lory soon even thinks Lory and Zhao Li Xin are heading to Devil's mouth still she feels safer with them apart from her husband of course.

"Let's go before the dark creatures find us!" Yang Xi Ying quickened his pace, the sky was getting darker but he wasn't sure if it was because it was nightfall or something else, Yang Xi Ying looked at the sky anxiously he was worried that at night the dark creatures would become even stronger.

Yang Xi Ying shake her head she can't let her imagination run wild she must focus her mind to stick on her goal which survives as long as she could untill Li Mo Zhen found her, henceforth, Tao Bing Wen chased Yang Xi Ying With difficulty until he was out of breath but the distance between them didn't shrink, Tao Bing Wen felt ashamed that his speed cannot catch up with a pregnant woman.

Seeing how determined and confident Yang Xi Ying was now Tao Bing Wen doubted whether this was the same woman as the woman who had been broken and crying in despair earlier, she wondered what had caused Yang Xi Ying's attitude to change drastically in such a short time.

Yang Xi Ying stopped in her tracks to give Tao Bing Wen time to catch up to her while waiting for tao Bing Wen she sit on the trunk of a large tree that sticking out of the ground while checking her heart rate to make sure she and the baby were fine, she breathed a sigh of relief when she felt her heartbeat quite normal.

It wasn't long after Tao Bing Wen was finally able to catch up, however, he was so tired he leaned against the tree while panting heavily and his face was covered with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Seeing Tao Bing Wen's pitiful state, Yang Xi Ying sighed, he knew he couldn't force Tao Bing Wen more than this or this young man would faint from exhaustion, so she looked around to find a safe place to temporarily rest, it didn't take long Yang Xi Ying found a small cave not far from them.

"Let's go over there" Yang Xi Ying pointed then Tao Bing Wen looked in the direction she was pointing, he was relieved that it meant they would rest for a while.

When they arrived at the cave, Yang Xi Ying did not immediately rest but instead planted a camouflage talisman at the entrance in advance so that their whereabouts were not detected by the monsters easily.

Only after Yang Xi Ying felt sure they were safe for a while sitting on one of the boulders then she take out a wooden box from her spatial ring and then hand it over to Tao Bing Wen "Eat, you need to take care of your strength" it was the bento box that she kept in her spatial ring because of her insatiable appetite since she was pregnant.

Tao Bing Wen received the box thinking he didn't know what it was but when he opened his box his eyes sparkled in delight, without further ado he lowered his head and started to dig his food only now he realized he hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, therefore, the food in the box tasted exceptionally delicious in his mouth.

"Slow down, you'll choke yourself if you eat like that" Yang Xi Ying looked at the young man worriedly then she handed Tao Bing Wen a waterskin to drink.

Tao Bing Wen patted his chest before taking the waterskin from Yang Xi Ying, but suddenly the sky turned much darker than before, at first the sky was like late afternoon but now suddenly turned like the midnight sky but without any stars or moon it was completely dark. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

"Is it already nighttime? Why is it so dark outside?" Tao Bing Wen wiped his mouth while looking outside.

A deep feeling of restlessness held Yang Xi Ying's heart like tight claws squeezing her heart, she knew something very, very bad was going to happen. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"Stop eating!" Yang Xi Ying suddenly said.

"What?" Tao Bing Wen looked at Yang Xi Ying with a questioning look.

All of a sudden they heard a thunderous roar from outside, Tao Bing Wen was taken aback by a sound that resembled a Lion's roar but it sounded very loud as if the wolf was near them.

Suddenly Yang Xi Ying stores the lunch box on Tao Bing Wen's lap without care for his protest then hastily she pours white powder over Tao Bing Wen's head.

"Hey, are you crazy?" Tao Bing Wen slapped Yang Xi Ying's hand angrily.

<strong>"SHUT UP!"</strong> she covers Tao Bing Wen's mouth "This is a powder to get rid of our smell, spread this powder around us, <strong>HURRY!</strong>" there's an urgency in Yang Xi Ying voice mixed with panic and fear.

Tao Bing Wen didn't know what happen but he follow Yang Xi Ying's order regardless, at the same time Yang Xi Ying stuck more talismans on the cave door then quickly grabbed Tao Bing Wen's hand, and then squatted behind a large rock.

Tao Bing Wen looked at her in confusion but then Yang Xi Ying presses her index finger to her lips as a sign not to be quiet.

The ground suddenly shook by a heavy footstep then slowly a huge black shadow approached, Tao Bing Wen's eyes widened as he saw the shadow in front of him grow bigger and bigger until it filled the entire cave, subconsciously they hold their breaths.

There's a strong breath coming right at the cave door followed by a deep growl, they could hear the creature outside sniff at the air, meanwhile, Tao Bing Wen's body tremble like crazy as he looked at Yang Xi Ying with fear in his eyes.

Yang Xi Ying raised her palm to signal her to calm down even though she herself was panicking but Yang Xi Ying gave a stern look because she was afraid that Tao Bing Wen couldn't stand the pressure she would do something stupid that would put them in a more dangerous situation.
