218: Chapter 218 I'm really scared

"Wow! That stone fish spraying water is so amazing!"

"That! That building is so tall, why don't the flags on it fall off?"

"Daddy, Daddy, I feel a sense of Bloodline connection, is that my mother?"

On the streets of the imperial city, Little Pebble hopped and skipped on Shi Jin's head, full of curiosity about everything.

Until he pointed at a stone lion pedestal and exclaimed, at which point Shi Jin finally lost his composure.

"Quiet down, I don't know if that's your mother, but I am not your father. Stop shouting, I have a headache."

Yuan Chen and Ye Lingling held the child's hand, watching the irritated Shi Jin with amusement.

Truth be told, this Little Pebble really talked too much; he used the word 'Daddy' like a comma.

Shi Jin pretended not to hear: "Daddy, Daddy, things in the mortal world are so much fun."

"Senior, it's all your fault. Why did you create this thing?" Shi Jin looked at Yuan Chen resentfully.

Yuan Chen suppressed a smile: "Alright, alright. I saw you were always alone, so I gave you a son to relieve your boredom. Cheer up, don't keep such a straight face. Let's find a restaurant first to ask around for some information."

The group arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal House. Before they could even enter, a figure by the window on the second floor caught everyone's attention.

It was a woman dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned water-sleeve dress. She was peerlessly beautiful, yet she was eating and drinking with absolutely no decorum.

The table was a mess of cups and plates, yet she remained in high spirits. In two words: slovenly.

"What a beautiful fairy sister!" Yuan Guo tilted his little head, his eyes fixed on her.

Yuan Chen's lips curled up. The Aura on this woman...

Seemingly sensing Yuan Chen's gaze, the woman suddenly turned her head. Their eyes met, and a trace of panic flashed in hers. Immediately, like a startled fawn, she turned and wanted to slip away from the window.

Yuan Chen chuckled. He hadn't expected to meet again so soon.

"Audacious demoness, how dare you run wild in the imperial city! Seize her for me!"

A violent shout exploded like thunder. Three figures appeared out of thin air on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal House, surrounding the woman in a triangular formation.

These three were all dressed in dark red attire, their Auras thick and powerful.

They were experts from the Great Ming Royal Family!

The woman withdrew her gaze, her eyes rolling around before she covered her mouth and chuckled: "Just based on you bunch of motley fools, you think you're worthy of catching me?"

"Arrogant!" The expert at the Xuanhuang Realm snorted coldly, raised his hand, and unleashed a blood-colored palm print, striking toward Tripod Spirit with the force of crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Tripod Spirit did not dodge or evade, but simply extended two slender fingers and flicked them lightly.

"Hum—"

An ancient bell chime seemed to ring in the air. That seemingly immensely powerful blood-colored palm print, at a distance of three inches from her fingertips, dissipated instantly as if ice and snow were melting!

"What?!" The three experts were shocked.

Tripod Spirit's mouth curved into a playful arc. Her gaze swept over the stunned Yuan Chen family downstairs and finally landed on Yuan Chen, even playfully winking at him: "Oh my, Husband, you've come~"

Before her voice even faded, her figure vanished into thin air like a bubble, leaving behind no trace of spatial fluctuation.

"Spatial power? No, that's not right!" The Xuanhuang expert's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly circulated his Spiritual Qi to probe the surroundings but found nothing.

"What's going on? Where is she?" The other two experts also looked grim.

"It wasn't a teleportation array, and there were no spatial rifts... She just... disappeared like that?" The Xuanhuang expert muttered to himself.

"Lord Lu Tao! His Highness the Fifth Prince is injured!"

Lu Tao's face was so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it. He glared viciously downstairs, suppressed the fear in his heart, and turned to order: "Quick! Treat the Fifth Prince!"

His gaze then fell on the Yuan Chen family downstairs. This woman seemed to know this man; they must be captured and interrogated!

The experts from the Great Ming Royal Family naturally had the same idea and immediately rushed downstairs, heading straight for the Yuan Chen family.

"Stop!" Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent as she stepped out, blocking in front of her family. Although she was only at the Xuanwang Realm, her Aura was not weak in the slightest.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with that demoness?" The expert from the Great Ming Royal Family demanded sternly, already reaching out to capture them.

Yuan Chen glanced at him coldly and said indifferently: "No relationship? What? You want to make a move on me?"

"Senior, are you really going to be this tough?"

Shi Jin hugged his stone son, shrank his head, and hid behind Yuan Chen, muttering in a low voice.

This is the Great Ming Dynasty, after all, with countless experts. Moreover, this is their territory; if things go wrong, we won't be able to leave.

The expert from the Great Ming Royal Family was intimidated by Yuan Chen's attitude. Thinking of the expert they had just encountered, he restrained himself quite a bit and stopped moving: "Kid, I advise you to be sensible and come with me obediently, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Yuan Chen's mouth.

"You're courting death!" The expert from the Great Ming Royal Family was furious; he was being given a chance but refused to take it.

"Give me..."

Spiritual Qi surged. He would strike first; after all, he had the Great Ming Royal Family backing him.

"...Mercy!"

The expert from the Great Ming Royal Family was left with only his head, his eyes staring at Yuan Chen in terror.

As for his body, it had already been blown to smithereens.

Whoa!

Shi Jin's eyes widened.

Strong!

Too strong!

He destroyed a Mahayana expert with a single slap.

But now the trouble was even bigger.

"Senior, let's go quickly, I'm scared!"
