Chapter 296 Protected

Although Xuanyuan Ming was somewhat angry, he keenly noticed the words "collecting corpses".

He frowned deeply, knowing full well that his father had sent his Xuanjia Guards to the lower realm to teach those beastmen a lesson.

But it was just a lesson learned.

He remembered that his father had specifically instructed him not to cause any deaths, so how did it come to the point of collecting the body?
What exactly happened to those Xuanjia Guards?

His face looked rather grim, but he didn't lash out at the moment.

Seeing that he was standing still, Su Xiyue patted Bao Fu's head and said, "Go around him."

Xuanyuan Ming knew she was in a hurry to save people, so he did not stop her. He transformed into a candle dragon and flew at a low altitude, following along the top of the forest canopy.

His gaze swept over Su Xiyue from time to time, his eyes filled with a mixture of unfamiliarity and complexity.

He tried several times to recall everything about her, but he couldn't remember anything.

“Master, he’s with us.”

Leopard Fu sped along the dense forest and soon arrived at the Black Pine Forest.

However, the Black Pine Forest is so vast that finding someone is not easy; one can only listen carefully to what is said.

"Treat him like he's air."

Su Xiyue looked around, opened the system map, and located Xuanming's exact location: "Go that way."

She pointed in a direction.

Leopard Fu sped off in the direction she pointed, its four paws stomping over the dry branches with a soft, crunching sound.

In the distance, the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard, including the roars of dragons, the howls of tigers, the cries of phoenixes, and the mournful howls of wolves.

Hearing the cries of phoenixes and the roars of tigers, Su Xiyue knew that Mu Han and Feng Li had arrived ahead of time.

Mu Han is an eighth-level white tiger, and Feng Li is an even more advanced tenth-level old phoenix. With their help, Xuan Ming's situation should improve.

At least they won't continue to be pinned down in the mud, trampled and humiliated, though the situation is a bit bad with their limbs broken.

She urged Bao Fu to speed up, her eyes fixed nervously on the other side.

This black pine forest is dense and secluded, with tall pine trees blocking out the sun. Only a few rays of sunlight filter through the gaps, leaving dappled light and shadow on the ground.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of pine, yet also tinged with a hint of blood, creating an atmosphere of grimness.

Leopard Fu instantly darted a hundred meters away, the falling pine needles scraping against Su Xiyue's face, causing a sharp pain.

Most of the black pine trees in front had collapsed, creating almost a vacuum zone.

Seven black candle dragons hovered in mid-air, confronting the white tiger that Mu Han had transformed into and the old phoenix that Feng Li had transformed into.

Although Feng Li is a tenth-tier old phoenix, the dragon race is naturally good at making clouds and rain, as water overcomes fire.

Every time he unleashed his phoenix fire, it was extinguished completely by the opponent's flood, infuriating the old phoenix so much that its face turned green, and it muttered curses under its breath:

"The dragon race has really grown up now, bullying those wolf cubs from the lower realms, seven against one, you've completely disgraced your ancestors."

As a dignified Phoenix Clan retainer, he had never been subjected to such a gang beating, even in the past.

Although I wouldn't get beaten up, the feeling of having my natal fire suppressed is really unpleasant.

Several Candle Dragons sneered from mid-air. Their purpose in descending to the lower realm was to restore the face of the Dragon Clan, so they paid no heed to Feng Li's mockery.

The leader of the Xuanjia Guards transformed into human form and landed on a charred, broken tree. His dragon horns gleamed coldly in the sunlight: "Feng Li, you were once a worshipper of the Phoenix Clan. Now you serve as a mount for a female from the lower realms. How dare you mention your ancestors?"

Feng Li was so angry at these words that she was furious, but she couldn't refute them. She could only glare at them, and with a flap of her wings, the flames became even more intense.

However, in the blink of an eye, it was completely extinguished by the large amount of water spewed out by several candle dragons.

The two sides were locked in combat, making a loud and continuous racket.

Su Xiyue jumped off the leopard's back.

Just then, they saw Xuanming being pinned down in a mud pit by a black dragon's claws.

The Dark Wolf's fur was covered in blood and mud, its head was almost sunk into a mud pit, and its limbs were twisted unnaturally backward.

With great effort, he finally managed to pull his head out of the mud, spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam: "Old Phoenix, are you alright?"

Feng Li instantly exploded: "Bullshit! When I burned down the Dragon Palace in the Upper Realm, your father hadn't even given birth to you yet!"

Xuanyuan Ming descended from the sky at some unknown time and transformed back into human form.

His dark golden eyes looked at Feng Li with mockery, "Burning down the Dragon Palace? Wasn't it you who was pinned to the ground and had your feathers plucked by my father back then?"

It wasn't a big deal; it was just a banquet held by the dragon clan when he was a child.

The old phoenix, having drunk too much, actually played with his phoenix fire, accidentally burning down the palace and disrupting the banquet. Enraged, his father personally went to pluck the phoenix's feathers.

His uncle didn't dare utter a single word.

Feng Li's true colors were exposed, and her face turned extremely ugly. She was so angry that her feathers seemed to bristle. "What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? I was drunk, otherwise I..."

"Xuan Ming."

Su Xiyue had no interest in their argument. Vines sprouted from her palm, but Xuan Yuanming grabbed her wrist.

Her furious expression was reflected in the man's dark golden eyes: "You like this kind of trash?"

"none of your business."

Su Xiyue shook off his hand.

The surrounding vines seemed to come alive, wrapping around the black dragon that was holding Xuanming from all directions.

The white tiger that Mu Han had transformed into was being attacked by three black dragons. The roars of the dragons and the howls of the tigers terrified all the birds and beasts in the Black Pine Forest, causing them to scatter and flee.

Xuanyuan Ming squinted at a certain spot, where the Netherworld Dark Wolf in the mud pit was clearly trembling with pain and couldn't even get up.

But when he saw Su Xiyue struggling desperately, he became frantic and struggled violently: "Little Moon, don't worry about me. I'm tough as nails, I won't die. You're pregnant, be careful with your belly."

These words made Xuan Yuanming instantly look at Su Xiyue, his gaze falling on her flat stomach, his dark golden eyes narrowing slightly. "You're pregnant?"

His voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

Su Xiyue ignored him completely, as the vines had already wrapped around the black dragon's claws.

Leopard Fu seized the opportunity to pounce and bite, its sharp teeth embedding deeply into the gaps in the dragon's scales, but it was forcefully flung away by the black dragon.

Xuanming took the opportunity to roll out of the mud pit. His hair was already stained red with blood and covered in mud, making him look dirty and disheveled.

He wanted to help Su Xiyue, but his limbs were broken and he couldn't even stand up. He could only twist his body and move in one direction with all his might, and tears streamed down his face as he struggled to get up.

Xuanyuan Ming frowned as he watched this scene, then suddenly transformed into a dragon tail and whipped the black dragon away.

“My father sent you here to teach people a lesson, not to torture and kill them.”

His dark golden eyes swept over all the Xuanjia Guards present, his voice as cold as ice.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Feng Li unleashed her Phoenix True Fire. This time, without the water curtain to block it, the two black dragons screamed and fell to the ground in an instant.

"Greetings, Young Master."

The Xuanjia Guards transformed back into human form and landed on the ground, respectfully kneeling on one knee.

The Dragon Clan is holding a banquet. Shouldn't the young lord be selecting a concubine from among the Dragon Clan at this time?
Why did he suddenly come to the lower realm and protect this female named Su Xiyue?
Although Shaojun has amnesia, he has learned about his past from the people around him. Shouldn't he hate this female for deceiving him?

Why are they protecting each other instead?
Unaware of what the Xuanjia Guards were thinking, Su Xiyue instantly retracted the vines and took the opportunity to rush to Xuanming's side.

Seeing his horrific appearance, covered in blood and mud, completely unrecognizable, with his limbs twisted in bizarre ways, my eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

She didn't dare to delay, her palm filled with green light, and she poured her wood-type supernatural power into his body as if it were free.

Xuanming gasped in pain, but still grinned, "Little Moon, you males don't die so easily."

Xuan Yuanming stood not far away, his dark golden eyes fixed on Su Xiyue's trembling hands and reddened eyes.

The shimmering green light emanating from her palm made his temples throb. The scene was damnably familiar, yet he couldn't recall a single detail.

The lead armored guard cautiously looked up: "Young Master, you are not..."

"Get back."

Xuanyuan Ming retracted his dragon tail, his voice as cold as ice, "Go back and tell my father that he has no need to interfere in my affairs."

The seven Xuanjia guards looked at each other, but in the end dared not disobey, and transformed into black dragons and disappeared from the spot.

Feng Li transformed into human form the moment she landed, and breathed a sigh of relief; those troublesome dragon cubs were finally gone.

Seeing Mu Han collapse to the ground, unable to even get up, looking extremely miserable, his expression changed, and he quickly went over to help him up: "Are you alright?"

Mu Han transformed into human form, his face pale, and shook his head: "I'm not dead yet."

I thought I was already very strong, but today I finally understand that my strength is as weak as an ant in front of those behemoths.

They could send out any of their subordinates and their strength would be no less than theirs.

Xuan Yuanming suddenly walked over to Su Xiyue and squatted down, reaching out to wipe the mud off her face: "Is this kind of useless male worth risking your life for?"

“He’s much more reliable than some cold-blooded worms. At least he won’t steal my soul or try to kill me.”

Su Xiyue slapped his hand away, her eyes full of disdain: "If you've had enough of the show, get out of here, don't get in my way."

Xuan Yuanming wasn't annoyed when she slapped his hand away. Instead, he chuckled softly, his dark golden eyes swirling with emotions she couldn't understand.

"Soul extraction?"

He gently traced the spot where she had touched him with his fingertips, lost in thought. "It seems quite a lot has happened between us."

He had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and he could probably glean some of the truth from the people around him.

It's nothing more than the female in front of me, whose soul drifted in from somewhere and then took over this body.

The original owner of this body was probably his savior when he was a child.

He discovered the truth by accident, which led him to want to extract the soul or kill the person.

However, he no longer had the intention to kill.

He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to kill.

Su Xiyue ignored him and focused on treating Xuanming.

The wood-based supernatural power traveled along the meridians, and the broken bones made a faint cracking sound as they slowly healed.

Xuanming gasped in pain, but still bared his teeth defiantly at Xuanyuan Ming: "Did you hear me? My little moon told you to get lost..."

This mad dragon went mad back then and didn't want Little Moon, but now he's shamelessly coming back. Let him get as far away from us as possible.

He doesn't even know what kind of mess he made back then. If it weren't for the few of them suppressing him in time at Qingyan Mountain, Little Moon's soul would probably have been ripped out by this madman.

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanming suddenly reached out and pressed his head down, dark golden dragon breath flowing in his palm: "Say it again, and I'll shut you up forever."

He might be tolerant of Su Xiyue, but that doesn't mean he'll be tolerant of others.

"what are you doing!"

Su Xiyue pushed him away and stood in front of Xuan Ming like a mother beast protecting her cubs, the vines in her palms stirring restlessly as she glared angrily at Xuan Ming.

Xuan Yuanming found it amusing to see her flustered state.

He slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze sweeping over her flat stomach: "Still so fierce while pregnant?"

These words were like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Xuanming struggled to get up: "I'll tear your mouth off..."

As soon as he managed to prop himself up on his forelimbs, he fell to the ground in pain, his face pressed against the ground, his mouth full of pine needles and dead leaves.

Su Xiyue's lips twitched, and she instantly withdrew the vines from her palm, quickly bending down to support him.
