Chapter 199

Prince Banis and the alluring woman looked over at Carter, not understanding what he was doing. Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun also eyed him as he approached.

"Good evening. Could I borrow a bit of your fire?" Carter's icy face revealed a trace of a smile.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Prince Banis blinked. Had he seen wrong? The stone-faced man could smile? The knights were even more shocked. It was the first time they had seen this powerful person take the initiative to talk to someone else, especially to strangers! The alluring woman's eyes also darkened, watching with narrowed eyes.

Qi Aoshuang's response left Carter stiff.

"No. I'm sorry, there's not enough room," Qi Aoshuang responded heedlessly. She took a sip of her cup, not even giving Carter so much as a glance.

"But isn't there a lot of room?" Carter then did something that shocked prince Banis and the rest even more. He smiled as he plopped down next to Leng Lingyun.

How shameless! Qi Aoshuang was annoyed. She did not want to have any connections to this person. He was definitely difficult to deal with. This was her intuition. She did not want problems to arise.

Carter eyed Qi Aoshuang fixedly. What he said next made Qi Aoshuang shiver. "Young lady, your voice is very similar to a person I know."

He watched Qi Aoshuang intensely to see her reaction.

But Qi Aoshuang showed no change in expression. "What? I've never met someone like you before." She paused, then said venomously, "It takes a certain level of skill to flatter others."

Carter's expression. He examined Qi Aoshuang's expression more closely, but was not able to discern any clues. He was certain that this ordinary looking girl's voice was the exact same as the person who had been seeking to battle, Claire. Claire Hill was like fireworks, falling after displaying her peak splendor. Naturally, he did not believe she had committed matricide in order to ingratiate herself with the Temple. Was this ordinary looking girl the previously shining Claire? He inspected her face with rapt attention, but was disappointed to see no similarities. Her every freckle was so realistic, there was no way she was using some kind of disguise. There was no traces of uses of potions either. It seems he had made a mistake."

"I must have mistakened you for someone else, my mistake." Carter smiled, standing up to bow apologetically, then left.

Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun did not respond, continuing to make tea and roast meat. Right now, all they needed to do was wait for Ben to come out of his reclusive training.

Prince Banis's party and Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun lodged on each side of the ravine, mutually ignoring the other.

The night passed by peacefully.

As day broke, the sun rays filled the entire ravine. The crisp bird calls could be heard.

Prince Banis left his tent a little gloomily. Just as before, the captivating women did not let him do anything to her.

Qi Aoshuang watched as they packed up their stuff. As they started to walk to Dragon Valley, she frowned.

"Aoshuang, what do you think?" Leng Lingyun asked softly.

"That brainless prince was persuaded to enter Dragon Valley, but I can't tell what that woman's intentions are." Qi Aoshuang took a bite of bread that Leng Lingyun had handed her. White Emperor and Black Feather were jumping around in the tent. They had been hiding there since last night so that none of Banis's men could see them.

Leng Lingyun crouched down, passing a piece of bread into the flap of the tent so that the two little things would settle down.

"Want to follow them to see what happens?" Leng Lingyun stood up.

"No need to be hasty. Let's first wait and see." Qi Aoshuang watched as their figures disappeared out of the ravine. Carter also followed, clothed in pure white. Qi Aoshuang's eyes lingered on his figure the longest.

"It'll be quite tragic, I imagine." Leng Lingyun responded indifferently.

Qi Aoshuang smiled. "Did I just detect dark humor in the venerable Divine Prince's voice?"

"Really?" Leng Lingyun responded with the exact same tone.

But then something strange happened.

Roar....

There came the sound of an angered dragon from the end of the ravine.

Leng Lingyun followed Qi Aoshuang's suggestion to wait and see. The result was pitiful, as expected.

The entrance of Dragon Valley:

The patrolling dragon angrily roared, the sound reverberating in their ears.

"Damn humans, pay for your idiocy!" the dragon roared. Terrifying dragon breath started to descend upon them.

"Please let me explain, venerable dragon," Bani started to say, large beads of sweat on his forehead. As his group entered Dragon Valley, they suddenly ran into the dragon just as Qi Aoshuang had and was being berated. He originally thought that after fulfilling the beauty's request to see the dragon, they could return safely. However, the woman suddenly attacked the dragon with magic. It was only a small fireball, but it hit the dragon's nostril accurately. It was clearly provocative, hitting a sensitive spot. Then the woman ducked behind him, declaring he had forced her to do so. After successfully angering the dragon, she slipped away. Prince Banis realized he had been completely manipulated, but there was no point in explaining anything now.

"Idiot," Carter cursed silently. He stepped forward, gripped Banis under one arm, then quickly ran out the mouth of the valley. This all happened in a matter of seconds. The dragon was mighty, but with Carter's strength, running away was not anything difficult. Unfortunately, the remaining knights took the brunt of the dragon's anger. Dragon breath blasted. Soon, knights became scorched earth. The surviving knights lost the will to fight, all running towards the mouth of the valley with all their might. No one noticed the alluring woman with her cold grin. She was concealed behind a large true expertly.

Qi Aoshuang and Leng Lingyun watched as Carter ran out with the previously arrogant prince pinned under his arm, while behind him, knights ran as hard as they could with looks of terror.
