"How could there be such a monster in the palace?"

"Dang …" Of course it's from the underground palace! "

"Underground palace?"

Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt more convinced by what the palace maid had said. It seemed that this underground palace was indeed very terrifying.

"The underground palace is a living hell. Who knows how many demons and ghosts there are inside. This demon must have come out of there!" Woman... Hero, spare me, please let me go. If the monsters come after me, I'm dead. You should hurry up and leave, it's not safe here. "

"Coward. "You can go."

"Thank you, heroine."

"Wait …" "Which princess did you just say he was?"

"Tenth Princess!"

"What about the Tenth Princess?"

No one can see it clearly. The Tenth Princess must have fled with her trusted aides! At that time, the situation was very chaotic and no one paid attention to it! " The palace maid panicked and ran for her life. Jing Jing prepared a bag of poison and carefully entered the bamboo forest. She wanted to see what the monster from hell looked like!

"Aooouuu ~ ~ ~"

A strange shout suddenly came from the front!

Jingjing carefully rushed over and saw a black-furred beast opening its bloody maw. Beneath the gash was a small, thin figure.

"Tenth Princess!"

Jingjing loudly shouted!

When the black beast heard the scream, it pounced even more ferociously towards the little girl. The little girl looked at the beast's bloody mouth, her expression still gloomy and cold, as if there was no fear in her expression! If it were anyone else, even a grown man would have wet his pants in fear, much less a child!

"Tenth Princess!" "Be careful!"

Jingjing randomly picked up a rock and threw it at the giant beast!

"Bam!"

The stone hit the beast right in the head!

The huge beast that was going to devour the little girl, was now enraged. It threw itself away and pounced towards Jingjing furiously!

"Ugly!" Come on, come on! "Humph!"

Jing Jing casually sprinkled a handful of poison powder, then held her breath and stood there motionlessly!

The huge beast pounced over, and bit towards Jingjing. Jingjing was like a small loach, quickly dodging. However, she didn't run far, only dodging to the left side of the giant beast. The giant beast turned its head and was about to pounce again …

"Aooo …"

Suddenly, it howled in agony. And then, its huge body crashed to the ground!

Seeing the monster fall, Jingjing ran towards the little girl and picked her up: "Tenth Princess! Why are you here alone? All the palace maids and eunuchs ran away, so why didn't you run away? "

The Tenth Princess said coldly, "They are all only concerned about themselves!"

Jing Jing thought she was too scared to move, but she was still conscious. Furthermore, his words had hit the nail on the head! Those eunuchs and maids, they usually served him well, but in times of danger, saving their own lives was the most important! Who would care about a little princess like her?

"It's okay. "Monster is dead, I'll send you back"

"Thank you. "Elder sister."

"Thank me for what, silly girl."

"Elder sister, you really are a good person. Other people have left me and ran away, but only you will come to save me. "

"They are too much. Leaving a child like you behind is indeed not something they should do."

"Elder sister, can you promise me one thing?"

"Go ahead."

"Promise me first."

"Alright. You can say that now? "Hehe."

"Can you not tell anyone about what happened today? Especially with the eunuchs and maids who left me behind. "

"Why?"

"If Royal Father finds out, he'll kill them all!"

"Oh."

Jingjing was secretly surprised. This girl was very young, but her mind was unusually calm. In addition, she was also very kind. Even though she had suffered a grievance, she was still thinking for the lives of the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Elder sister. Will you promise me? "

"Aren't you angry with them? They just left you like that, and no one cares if you live or die. If I didn't come just in time, you would have been buried in the mouth of the beast. "

"I'm not afraid, anyway. "But it would be a pity if they died. The King's Father would kill many people."

"All right. You really are a sensible girl, this big sis agrees. "

"Elder sister, you're such a good person!" It would be great if you could be my sister-in-law! I don't know what Nine is thinking, why didn't he marry you earlier? This way, I can call you sister-in-law earlier! " Perhaps it was due to the fact that they shared the bloodline of the Central Plains, or perhaps it was because Jingjing had saved her, but the little girl's heart felt very close to Jingjing.

"Hur hur. Little devil, don't talk nonsense. Alright, you should hurry up and go back. "

"What about you, sister?"

"I want to go into the underground palace to take a look! I'll send you back first, in case another monster comes out of nowhere, I'll send you back to safety. "

"Ah?" Elder sister, you … You want to go to the Underground Palace? "

"That's right!"

"Elder sister …" Don't go! "Can you not go?" The usually calm and sad Princess Ten suddenly became sad and frightened!

"Don't worry." My sister knows it's a dangerous place, but I'm not afraid. Sister is a secret service agent! "

"Sister, what is an agent?"

"It means a special kind of people who have received strict professional training and can deal with all kinds of difficult and dangerous situations quickly and accurately. It means the meaning of a secret service agent."

"Oh. "No wonder, big sister was so calm and killed the monster in one shot."

"Heh heh. You are also very calm. You are not afraid at all. "

"Then when I grow up, can I become a secret service agent?"

"This... Heh heh, of course you can. I can take you to a lot of new and fun places to play.

"Really? Elder sister, when are you going to bring me there? "

"Big sister still has something to do, can I take you there when big sister's work is done?"

"Great!" Elder sister, what are you going to do? Can I help you? "

"Big sister wants to find someone, she's my senior sister!"

"Big sister's sister?"

"Yes." "Kind of."

"So where is she now?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I must find her and bring her back. "

"Can I ask Father Wang to send someone to help you find it?"

"Hur hur. Not good. My senior sister isn't so easily found by others. Moreover, if she were to be too brazen, she might alert the enemy. If my Senior Sister is in danger right now, perhaps she might be alerted, and her situation will become even more dangerous. "

"Elder sister, can I help you in any way? I really want to help you. Just now, you saved me.

"You're still young, so you can wait until you grow up. If I can't find Senior Sister after a long, long time, will the Tenth Princess send someone to help me find it? " Jingjing patiently comforted the depressed little princess.

"Elder sister, it's a deal then!" The Tenth Princess said happily.

"Alright. "I promise." "Hur hur, let's go quickly. I'll send you back."

Jingjing was also very happy, this was the first time she saw this little princess smile. She looked pretty pretty pretty when she smiled, even when she grew up, she would still be a beauty.

"Elder sister, will you follow me back to the palace? Can you not go to the underground palace? " She stopped laughing again.

"Why?"

"The underground palace is very dangerous."

"Big sister isn't afraid of danger."

"Elder sister, you don't know. The underground palace was very dangerous, so those who entered wouldn't be able to come out. I don't want to see sister ever again! " The Tenth Princess said sadly.

"Tenth Princess, could it be that you know some things about the underground palace?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me more about the underground palace? It might help me. "

"The Underground Palace used to be an underground city! A few hundred years ago, there was a chaotic war between various tribes in the Western Regions. At that time, the King of the Western Regions, in order to protect the family members of the imperial harem, built an underground city. In times of war, the imperial concubine, the family of the Minister and some wealthy merchants would go to the underground city to seek refuge. "

"So that's how it is. No wonder, how could such a huge underground palace be built in such a magnificent palace? For the sake of a large dugout! " Jingjing finally understood the reason for the underground palace.

"After that, the war became less and less, and the underground palace was rarely opened. "Unknowingly, the underground palace has become a secret underground prison, imprisoning those extremely dangerous prisoners and traitors. A few heartless head concubines and eunuchs will also imprison those who make mistakes …"

"Yes." "And then?"

The prison had later become hell, and Jingjing guessed that something important had happened!

"Then there was a fire! A mysterious fire! When my royal father just ascended the throne and became the King of the Western Regions, I wasn't even born yet! I heard that the prison in the underground palace has suddenly turned into a mysterious sea of fire.

"What about the prisoners?"

"They're all burned to death!" The Tenth Princess was not afraid at all when she talked about these horrible things. She spoke slowly and calmly.

"Burned to death?"

"Yes!" Everyone was burnt to ashes in that mysterious fire, and no one escaped! "

"So the underground palace became hell?"

"NO!" Because of an even stranger matter! "

"Oh? "What is it?"

"After the fire, not only were all the prisoners burned to death, but no one survived. Furthermore, there was another mysterious big shot who had also disappeared! Legend has it that the fires of the underground palace are the wrath of demons. "That person was also taken into the underground palace by a demon from the underground palace …"

"A big shot? "Who?"

"High Priest of the palace!"

"The High Priest?"

"Yes." According to what the king's father said, there was a very, very important person at that time, and that person was the Imperial Advisor of the Western Regions, the High Priest of the palace! "It is said that he is omniscient and omniscient. It is like he is a deity that descended from heaven and knows all the languages and characters in the world. He even possesses a mysterious magic …"

"Oh."

Jingjing finally understood.

So the legend of the Devil in the Underground Palace came from this priest, priest? He was probably an ancient Magus, right? Every race had their own religious beliefs and worship for Tuteng. Magi, as representatives who were able to communicate with deities, usually had extremely high statuses and identities!

From what the Tenth Princess said, this High Priest should have an extremely high status in the Western Regions.

However, Jingjing could not understand why the fire in the underground palace had anything to do with a Magus.

The Tenth Princess continued, "The rage of the Underground Palace had consumed hundreds of prisoners' lives, and the great priest had disappeared at the same time … People began to believe that demons existed in the underground palace. All these years, no one who intentionally entered the underground palace was able to come out alive! "So …"
