Fu Ying had no choice but to follow Yuan Xue An and the two boys onto the upper deck of the ship, their presence immediately startled everyone, not even a few of Yuan Shao's subordinates who heard this rushed off his ship to visit Fu Ying ship to confirm if the news was true or not and their face was deathly pale when they saw Yuan Xue An's face.
Who doesn't know Yuan Xue An, Yuan Shao's only younger sister and also his closest family, the rumor even said that Yuan Shao values his younger sister more than his biological father, because of that Yuan Xue An's position raised in the eyes of the tribe's leader of Zhuang Dong continent, as the result, many of the tribe's leaders offered an arranged marriage between Yuan Xue An and their son which Yuan Shao subtly rejected with an excused that Yuan Xue An was now under the protection of the Hei Shen sect to be exact, she was under the tutelage of Jin Hao, the king of the White Dragon Palace, so whoever wanted to try to court Yuan Xue An had to pass the legendary king, Jin Hao himself.
Hearing Jin Hao's name immediately makes them dampen their wish cause no one wants to fight against the Hei Shen sect, especially someone like Jin Hao who is known to be cunning and powerful, hence Yuan Xue An name was raised again not only as Yuan Shao sister but also as someone under Jin Hao protection so who dare belittle this little girl.
"Her highness...you..you are here...why?" Si Mo's voice trembled with fear, he was one of Yuan Shao's close subordinates.
Yuan Xue An turns her head around and smiles "General Si, how are you?"
Si Mo's lips twitch, he wants to say he was fine five minutes ago but not anymore.
"Princess Yuan, you can't be here," he said in a begging tone.
Yuan Xue An tilted her head and answer in a sweet tone "But now I'm here~"
Si Mo and Fu Ying could feel the headache coming, both of them subconsciously massaging their head at the same time.
"Your highness, this trip is very dangerous this is not a child's play and why did you bring these two children with you, what if something bad happened with them?" Si Mo didn't recognize Shin Jiu and Guan Yi Jue so inwardly he blamed Yuan Xue An for her reckless behavior, his impression of Yuan Xue An instantly decreased quite a lot.
Yuan Xue An saw Si Mo's foul expression and she could guess what he was thinking, Shin Jiu also knew what this stupid man was thinking only Fu Ying knew about Shin Jiu's identity but he didn't have time to explain.
Shin Jiu snorted then he gather his Qi in his arms then suddenly opened his arms to release his Qi as soon as that happened the ship suddenly shook and strange ripples appeared from beneath the sea that pushed all the ships away suddenly something jumped onto the sea surface creating a big splash that hit the body of the ship.
Suddenly people begin to scream <strong>"Zhu Nou! look at that, Zhu Nou!"</strong> People immediately ran to the edge of the deck while pointing at a creature that was like a white fox with fins on its back that ran gracefully across the surface of the sea, but what was even more amazing was that not only one Zhu Nou but dozens of Zhu Nou were jumping up and down above the sea surface with agile.
"Wa...wait, Isn't Zhu Nou...extinct?" Si Mu rubbed his eyes in disbelief he never expect he would see a legendary beast that he only heard of from stories from his childhood right in front of him.
Shin Jiu laugh then fold his hands at the edge of the deck "They're not extinct, they're just very good at hiding if it wasn't Huwang Shen Zi who introduced me to the leader of Zhu Nou I wouldn't know about the existence of this creature that like avoid human and hiding in the ocean," said Shin Jiu with a bright face.
"Huwang Shen Zi, the mythical beast the first kind creature of this world right, I heard about it from Jin Hao" Yuan Xue An got excited, she wish she could meet with that mythical beast.
"Yes, Master Long Ming was actually sent me to find Huwang Shen Zi for help for the upcoming war against that Demon before I got kidnapped by that wretched psychopath sissy" Shin Jiu scoffed in anger whenever he remember he got kidnapped by Wei Zu Tian subordinates to lure his master, he never felt so weak and useless before therefore he promised himself he will make The Heaven's Gate sect pay for their audacity to used him and killed his beast's friends.
'',
"Lord Huwang said that Zhu Nou beasts have more pure aura than any Beast in every continent, therefore dark creature like Hybrid Beast and critters will naturally be weak against them, and guess what, parasite beasts cannot possess them either" Shin Jiu rest his arms on his waist and grin in pure satisfaction.
Yuan Xue An gasped and her face beamed, "Really? It's amazing!" she clapped her hands in joy.
"Big brother, the beast looks so beautiful" Guan Yi Jue point at Zhu Nou in admiration apart from Girsha he had never seen such a beautiful beast before.
"You like it huh? let's see...if you study hard and cultivate diligently I'll give you one of these Zhu Nou" Shin Jiu raised his nose acting like a proud big brother even though Guan Yi Jiu was older but because he had been isolated for almost his entire life he acted more like a child compared to Shin Jiu.
Guan Yi Jue's eyes lit up with joy he immediately wrapped his hands around Shin Jiu's arm "Really, big brother! You're going to give me one!" he jolted Shin Jiu's arms repeatedly.
"Yes - yes, but you have to work hard!" he reminded Guan Yi Jue again like an elder.
Guan Yi Jue nodded his head vigorously, "Okay - okay, I will - I promise!" he was so happy he was jumping up and down excitedly.
Meanwhile, Si Mo's mouth is hanging open as he looks at the scene in front of him, he doesn't know who is the kid who can summon a high-level beast like Zhu Nou. The legend said that the Beast tends to hate humans and even tends to attack humans even without provocation so how could this Child be close to this celestial Beast.
"You see it now, General Mo, because I knew this trip would be dangerous, I bring him with me" Yuan Xue An patted Shin Jiu on the shoulder.
"May I know who this ki is….I mean, Young Master" Si Mo quickly corrected his words and cupped his fists respectfully.
"This Master's name is Shin Jiu, he is the youngest member of the Hei Shen sect and most importantly he is the disciple of Long Ming's wife" Yuan Xue An introduced Shin Jiu, and the child puffed out his chest proudly.
"Master Long Ming's wife is a cultivator too?" Si Mo is confused, no one has ever said that Long Ming's wife is a cultivator.
Shin Jiu suddenly Reprimand Su Mo, "Hey, my master is much more than that, he is the strongest person I have ever seen besides Master Long Ming and my master beast is hundreds of times stronger than any Beast I know, ah forget it, you have to see believe it!" Shin Jiu waved his hand dismissively.
Shi Mo was agape it was very hard for him to believe it because there were no rumors about Long Ming's abilities at all the only thing he knew is that woman was the reason Long Ming helped Yuan Shao but Yuan Shao never said anything about Lory's power, why is he do that? is he deliberately hiding it, but for what? it's not a bad thing, wasn't it?
"Is that true...?" he whispered to Fu Ying.
Fu Ying then nodded slightly "I've never seen her fight at full strength but many of her majestic fighting styles were adopted from Long Ming's wife so it's not impossible that she's actually very strong," said Fu Ying.
"Is that so..." Si Mo was still hesitating, he looked at Yang Xi Ying and then turned his gaze to Guan Yi Jue "What about that Young Master?" In his calculations, Guan Yi Jue didn't look strong but after what happened he was worried he might be wrong.

"Oh, him?" Shin Jiu looked at Guan Yi Jue who appear shorter than him due to malnutrition for years "Don't worry about him" Shin Jiu smirked and suddenly a white tiger appeared from his ring and Bai Zi circled Guan Yi Jue "Bai Zi will protect him Shin Jiu said lightly.
Once again Si Mo's eyes widened, he gaped as he stared at the giant White Tiger that he only saw through the painting "That…that…" he pointed at Bai Zi in shock.
Fu Ying sighed then patted Su Mo's shoulder, "Yes, it is the legendary Bai Zi Beast" Fu Ying's brows then furrowed in worry, "You have to get used to it, there will be more surprising things so you have to be prepared"
"Is there anything more surprising than this?" Su Mo held his breath, he blamed Yuan Shao for not telling him everything.
Yuan Xue An also let out a long sigh and shake her head a bit "General Su, you should instill in your head that the world you know is very different from reality, many things you never dreamed of you might see that's why I hope you can keep calm and tell all your subordinates to forget what they knew beforehand and be prepared for anything." Yuan Xue An expression became solemn.
Su Mo's body stiffened and he looked at Yuan Xue An intently "What are we going to face later?"
"What did my brother say?" asked Yuan Xue An.
"His Majesty said that we will fight against the demoness Lao Min Na and her demon Master" Su Mo answered truthfully.
Yuan Xue An frowned. she doesn't understand why Su Mo looks shocked now if he already knew "You already know so why do you act surprised?"
"I..." Su Mo's mouth was opened and closed withou making a word.
'',
Fu Ying suddenly interrupted, "Don't tell me you think we are fighting a practitioner who learned forbidden arts and become a fiendish cultivator"
"Is that wrong?" Su Mo became more confused.
"Hey, you already fight against the Hybrid beast do you think that Beast is normal?!" Fu Ying could not believe Su Mo will be that clueless.
"I...." Su Mo mum again.
Now it was Yuan Xue An's turn to massage her forehead "General Su please understand this...." She took a deep breath and silent for a two seconds before continuing, "We are fighting true demons, not humans turning evils or some sort...well, we are against something like that too but it's more than that, we're fighting real darkness, a demons from myths and legends so mind yourself that this battle it won't be anything you've ever faced, so be prepared!"
Suddenly Shin Jiu chuckled "This will be a legendary war that no one will forget"
