Chapter 233: Princess Yue Ye (III)
Looking at her, Long Haochen felt shaken . He after all still had a young and naive side: after Caiâer left such a restriction in Yue Yeâs body, he felt remorseful deep inside . To him, the fact that Yue Ye already took out so many things after such a short span of time was an ample proof of her sincerity, showing that she wasnât filled with bad intent .
âI am listening . â Long Haochenâs voice clearly sounded a lot gentler .
Yue Ye said, âPlease knock out my subordinates: I have a spell to erase their memory . They must have these memories wiped out, this will be the safest option for you . â
âAll right . â Long Haochen gave his agreement without the slightest hesitation, pointing his finger in the direction of the carriage . Immediately, repeated slamming sounds were heard from inside the carriage .
Yue Yeâs remaining subordinates were all mages . Facing such ruthless close quarter warriors, how could they have the ability to contend?
The members of the two Demon Hunt Squads walked up in a line, coming to Long Haochenâs side .
Long Haochen gave Yue Ye an apologetic glance, âWe still have a long road, and will need to borrow some of your Unwavering Manes . Ten should be enough, the rest will be left to you . Please leave this place as soon as possible too, this area is still within the scope of the Nareiks Province . Itâs not a safe place . â
âGot it . â Yue Ye had completely changed from her previous extremely intelligent display, replying obediently, just like a servant seeing off her master .
Caiâer wrinkled her brows, and for some reason, discovered that she found this girl more and more unlikable as time passed .
With a dim twinkle, Long Haochenâs eyes lit up with the display of an ice-cold expression, âGet on, itâs time to set off . â
Everyone received the Unwavering Manes, and other than Long Haochen, Li Xin and Caiâer who didnât need it, everyone else chose one, and got on it . Under Long Haochenâs lead, they galloped at full speed .
Following their departing figures with her eyes, Yue Yeâs look gradually turned colder . Unconsciously placing her right hand on her left chest, she touched a soft spot .
âNo matter how terrible you are, you still have a big weak spot . As long as Long Haochen asks for it, you will surely dispel this restriction on me . Long Haochen, I will succeed in my goals no matter what . â
At this point, Yue Ye revealed a noble and proud expression . She hadnât lied to Long Haochen, and was really the princess of the Moon Demon Clan, and didnât mind supporting Long Haochenâs two Demon Hunt Squads . The only reason for this was because of Long Haochen .
Except for returning the favor to her savior, she had another reason to do this .
Although Yue Ye possessed human blood, making her unable to succeed the Moon Demon God, as the holder of the title of ânew moonâ within the Moon Demon Clan, her innate talent was extremely high, and her wisdom surpassed her clasmenâs by far . Even the Moon Demon God relied heavily on her on this side, and she could be said to be the greatest genius of the Moon Demon Clan .
Thus, Yue Ye had always been filled with extreme pride since very young . Because of her excellence, many of the high ranked demon gods expressed the desire of connecting their successors to the Moon Demon God by marriage, but Yue Ye refused all these proposal without any hesitation . When she rejected them, she only had a single explanation for this: that among her peers, she would only consider one whose strength and intelligence surpassed hers as someone qualified to take her as his wife .
With certainty, no one outside of the Demon God Emperorâs successor had ever managed to achieve this condition . But the Demon God Emperor would never let him connect to an outsider by marriage: to preserve the purity of their bloodline, men of their clan could only marry girls of their own clan .
Yue Ye, who was turning 22 this year, finally met someone who pleased her, a man who convinced her absolutely, and although the counterpart was a human, he gave her a feeling she had never experienced before .
It wasnât like she had fallen for Long Haochen, but rather that he made a competitive spirit rise in her . At the same time, she felt that this man would be able to deserve her .
Yue Yeâs previous words came from the deepest part of her heart . She never regarded herself as a demon, neither did she regard herself as a human . To either of the two sides, she didnât feel a great attachment nor an extreme repulsion . What she followed was the ideal that only the strong deserved respect .
With a flash of light, a scroll appeared in Yue Yeâs hand . She unhurriedly strolled to the front of the carriage, opening up the scroll, and from it, an intense flame was immediately ignited . In passing, she tossed the scroll in the carriage, before shutting the door closed .
A few seconds later, a loud explosion rang and these heavy carriages shot up together with it .
But these carriages were indeed durable, as they didnât explode even in such circumstances .
On the driver seat, Leng Xiao was sent flying up, and the Unwavering Manes thought of running away in total panic, but the carriage was too heavy, and without Floating Techniques being launched, even if they wanted, they couldnât start running .
âOnly a dead person will be able to keep a secret with the best certainty . â Yue Yeâs expression was calm, as if she was taking care of unimportant matters .
After being thrown down, Leng Xiao came back to her senses .
âWhatâs going on? Whatâs happening?â Crawling from the ground, Leng Xiao looked at Yue Ye, and her last look was extremely sincere .
Yue Yeâs pair of purple eyes seemed to be filled with intense regret, only gazing at her silently, and Leng Xiaoâs eyes gradually shut down, entering in a deep slumber .
Thatâs right, Yue Ye had an ability to erase memory, but unfortunately, this ability came with a huge consumption, so she couldnât use it on many people . She could kill these subordinates of hers to silence them, but couldnât do the same with Leng Xiao .
After leaving the carriage, Long Haochen and his group didnât know of what happened . They had been hurrying in their way, and at dawn, they had already covered close to 100 km, and picked a remote place to rest .
If it was before, his comrades would definitely have questioned Long Haochenâs choice to spare Yue Ye and her group . However, this time, they were extremely calm, in particular for the six people of the 4th Demon Hunt Squad, who didnât have any inquiry at all .
It wasnât out of fear, but out of trust, because they had close to an absolute trust towards Long Haochen, and were already almost willing to follow him blindly . Ever since he left the Temple Alliance, Long Haochen had never made any mistake in his decisions, using his own ability to prove his outstanding capacity as a commander to everyone .
This time, everyone carried the water and food supply for three months of travel, so there would be any problem to eat and drink to their fill . After replenishing themselves, Long Haochen didnât lead them to depart urgently, but unfolded his map while taking out the things he received from Yue Ye .
âPlease change your clothes, everyone, and use these ones . â
These were thin crystals, rippling with magical fluctuation, of which Long Haochen demonstrated the use .
A short time later, the thirteen of them had completely changed appearances, because of these clothes .
All were clad in purple gown, about the same . These gowns were overly long, and bent up . With the corrections done from the few girls in the group, it finally fit them perfectly .
At the same time, the colors of their eyes changed, and everyone appeared to have purple pupils .
At the back of the purple gowns appeared the design of a bent moon .
The thin and elaborate transparent slice was exactly the same kind of magical eyes Leng Xiao and Yue Ye wore previously, the only difference being that Yue Ye gave Long Haochenâs group purple colored ones .
With this entire change of attire plus the change of color of their eye, Long Haochenâs group completely took the appearance of the Moon Clan members . Of course, it wouldnât be enough if it was only about their external appearances, so everyone also had an insignia justifying their lineage to the Moon Demon Clan . Although these insignias werenât magical equipment, it carried the aura belonging to the Moon Clanâs bloodline, and werenât so easy to make . When carrying them, Long Haochenâs group naturally released the specific cold, charming and dignified aura of high ranked demons .
âCaptain, what should we do next? Should we really blatantly enter a demon city, just like that Yue Ye said?â Sima Xian asked .
Long Haochen shook his head, replying, âNo, we are after all no demons . Although this is enough to hide our true identities, we are after all completely different from demons, be it in terms of living customs or physical specs . In case we enter a demon town, such a great number of high ranked demons is bound to attract attention, and possibly be exposed . In addition, since we are supposed to be high ranked demons, we are not supposed to be riding such low magical beasts as these Unwavering Manes . Weâll have to abandon these magical beast before we enter in a town . For this reason, I previously looked over our route, and since our supply is sufficient, I determined that we should stick to our original plan and hurry to the Desolate Hissing Cavern to complete our mission in the fastest time possible . â
Long Haochen was undoubtedly extremely prudent, and didnât fully trust Yue Ye at all .
Everyone nodded in succession, expressing their approval .
Long Haochen declared to the side of his teammates of the 21st Demon Hunt Squad, âLetâs consult each other later before distributing the contribution points . â Although they were equitable, they wouldnât be inflexible and didnât propose an equitable sharing of contribution points to the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad . After all, a difference in strength existed between the two Demon Hunt Squads and their contributions to the whole group werenât the same . Long Haochen also wanted to consider his own teammatesâ opinions .
His teammates naturally didnât have any objection to this suggestion .
Indeed, after entering in the demon territory, they immediately met some big trouble, but their bounty of contribution points was equally plentiful .
On the side of the 4th soldier grade Demon Hunt Squad, an important amount of contribution points had already been gathered, as each Berserk Demons gave four contribution points and the Birdy Demons gave six . The other types of demons also gave a lot more than Dual Bladed Demons .
The earnings on Long Haochenâs side were even greater . The Scarlet Blooded Berserk Demon died by Long Haochenâs hand, whereas the Golden Birdy Demon died by Caiâerâs hand, and these evolved demonsâ values already exceeded a thousand . It was already enough for Long Haochenâs group to have an abundance of points . More importantly, Long Haochen had just slain a huge amount of Grand Birdy Demons, whose corpses had entirely been recovered by Lin Xin . The values of the corpses in addition to the magical crystals were considerable, to the extent that the happiest of the whole team was Lin Xin .
With such a quantity of material, Iâll get to make quite a lot of pills! Lin Xinâs pills could not only be sold anywhere; even in the Demon Hunt Squadsâ Transaction Center, many would be willing to buy them .
