58: Chapter 58 The Saintess is a Star Beast?!
The two looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw a petite cat-eared loli standing there with her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out in anger, looking very displeased.
Upon seeing that the white wolf still maintained its previous indifferent expression, she immediately bristled with rage.
The cat-eared loli ran straight up to Xing Yaoyan, formed her hands into claws, opened her mouth to reveal two cute fangs, and struck what she considered to be a very fierce pose.
"Hah~"
Xing Yaoyan, who was staying within her spiritual sea, felt a wave of speechlessness as she watched the cat-eared loli hissing at her.
She thought to herself, 'Which unsophisticated Young Miss of the Yao Race is this? Judging by the aura on her, she must have never seen blood; there isn't a shred of Killing Intent.'
Indeed, Xing Yaoyan's white wolf body showed no reaction at all to the cat-eared loli's intimidation, which proved that the cat-eared loli did not make her feel even the slightest threat.
"Alright, alright, little Ying Linglong, go play somewhere else. I'm in a hurry to take the Saintess to see Your Majesty."
Sun Wu laughed happily from the side.
"Grandpa Sun, I'm an adult now! Stop calling me by my old nickname. I'm a real cat demon now!"
As she spoke, the little loli took the opportunity to exude the might of her Rank 2 Demonic Power.
"I spent only half a year to advance from Rank 1 to Rank 2. With this Young Miss's Innate Talent, it's only a matter of time before I Cultivate into a Great Demon, Demon King, or even a Demon Emperor or Demon Sovereign!"
From what Sun Wu had told her before, she knew that in the Rank classification of the Yao Race, Ranks 1 to 3 were Lesser Demons, Ranks 4 to 6 were Great Demons, Rank 7 was a Demon King, Rank 8 was a Demon Emperor, and Rank 9 was a Demon Sovereign.
The cat-eared loli's tsundere expression, combined with her petite figure, created a unique contrast that made people unable to help but smile.
If it weren't for the fact that she had to give up control of her body to stay hidden, she would have really liked to pinch this little brat's chubby cheeks.
She would probably cry with just one pinch…
Seeing that the white wolf still had no reaction, the little loli became anxious.
She regarded Xing Yaoyan's behavior as contempt for herself.
"What are you doing! Not even saying a word, are you looking down on me? I'm going to make you taste my power."
The little loli angrily reached out and clenched her fist, intending to teach this rude white wolf a lesson.
"Ying Linglong, don't…"
Sun Wu was shocked.
He wasn't worried about Xing Yaoyan's safety, but rather that the little princess of the cat Yao Race would be hurt by the Saintess's body's autonomous defense.
The Kingdom of Myriad Demons was currently surging with undercurrents, and they had finally brought back the prophesied Saintess to hold down the fort. If a conflict arose with the cat Yao Race, one of the royal clans, it would be detrimental to the stability of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons.
But just as he was about to move to stop this impulsive little princess of the cat Yao Race, he suddenly stopped, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Meanwhile, the cat-eared loli had already arrived in front of the white wolf, her fist about to make contact with its snow-white fur.
Suddenly, she felt as if she had been blocked by some invisible barrier, and her fist stopped just a few centimeters in front of the white wolf, unable to advance any further.
"Ying Linglong, do not be disrespectful to Her Highness the Saintess."
A mature, middle-aged male voice came from behind her.
Only then did Ying Linglong realize that there was no barrier at all; it was just that her collar had been firmly grabbed from behind.
"Dad…"
As if she had met her nemesis, the once arrogant little loli instantly wilted upon hearing this voice, her long black tail dangling in the air, twitching.
But while her attack had stopped, Xing Yaoyan's body did not agree.
The white wolf instantly turned into a "golden wolf," her mouth slightly agape, and a powerful suction force emanated from it.
In almost an instant, Ying Linglong felt the Demonic Power inside her body empty out.
"Ugh?"
After a puff of smoke, the cat-eared loli had turned into a black cat with a crescent moon mark on its forehead.
The golden light on the white wolf slowly dissipated, and she even gave a small, satisfied burp.
"You… give me back my Demonic Power… Dad… she bullied me… wuwuwu~"
The little black cat rubbed against the middle-aged man's lapels, looking aggrieved.
Sun Wu reached out to secretly wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
He thought to himself, why couldn't this little demoness cause trouble at any other time? It was well known that Ying Feng, the Clan Chief of the cat Yao Race, was a typical doting father, and the current attitude within the Yao Race towards this legendary Saintess was mixed.
If he were to make trouble for the white wolf now, it would put him in a very difficult position…
"Little Ying Linglong, haven't you been claiming to be a Genius ever since you underwent Awakening for your Innate Talent? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything now that you've been instantly defeated by an opponent of the same Rank?"
To Sun Wu's surprise, Ying Feng spoke in this teasing tone.
"Dad, how could you tell she was Rank 2? To instantly defeat me, she would have to be at least Rank 3 or 4, and I didn't even feel any fluctuation of Demonic Power?"
The little black cat lying in Ying Feng's arms stopped making a fuss; she was very unconvinced by her father's words.
"Of course you couldn't feel any Demonic Power, because the Saintess is a Star Beast. She is a Two-Mark Star Beast, equivalent to our Rank 2…"
"Star… Star… Star Beast?!"
The little black cat seemed to have thought of something bad; her body trembled with fear, and she subconsciously shrank deeper into Ying Feng's arms.
"How could a Star Beast enter the Kingdom of Myriad Demons! They are 'ominous'!"
"Little Ying Linglong, the Saintess is not the same as those Star Beasts you've seen…"
Ying Feng gently stroked the little black cat's fur, slowly calming her tense state of mind.
"The so-called 'ominous' is merely an excuse the weak use for their own incompetence. When you truly become strong, you will be able to see through the surface of things to discern their essence…"
Depletion of Demonic Power already had a certain impact on one's spirit, and combined with Ying Feng's gentle stroking, Ying Linglong actually fell asleep slowly.
"Clan Chief Ying, have you decided to stand on our side after all…"
This sentence was transmitted by Sun Wu using Demonic Power.
Great Demons of Rank 5 and above could condense their Demonic Power into a line to achieve sound transmission over a certain distance.
"Although I don't like pinning my fate on some unrealistic existence, the Kingdom of Myriad Demons really cannot withstand any more turmoil now…"
While the two demons were privately transmitting, the white wolf, having already withdrawn its Power Of Will, stood frozen on the spot.
Without Sun Wu's guidance, her body could only stand there.
The Soul figure of Xing Yaoyan staying within the spiritual sea was boredly drifting along the tide of Power Of Will.
The commotion from her fight with Ying Linglong naturally attracted the attention of quite a few demons, but when they saw Ying Feng and Sun Wu, they all turned their heads away in unison.
In the Imperial City, the hierarchy was strict. If one kept staring at a demon with a higher status than oneself, it was a grave disrespect; the punishment could be a fine, or in serious cases, being dragged outside the Imperial City for a life-or-death duel.
Of course, those who died were basically those demons of low status, as the rule of the Yao Race was "listen to whoever has the bigger fist."
And after Xing Yaoyan had been bored for quite a while, she suddenly discovered that her body was moving again.
This must mean that the two of them had finished talking.
Because her body was not under her own control, her field of vision was also very limited.
Her gaze was fixed forward, and she could only see Ying Feng's lower body; she couldn't see the other movements of the two demons beside her at all.
Now, Ying Feng's figure had disappeared from her field of vision; he must have left.
Her vision turned under Sun Wu's guidance, and Xing Yaoyan saw a magnificent palace standing a few hundred meters ahead.
Her heart tightened instantly.
She knew that her final test was about to arrive.
Because, she was about to meet the King.
