Chapter 9: Hu Jiujiu!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

That was pretty much what Li Yuanqing had guessed, but he did not ask further.

He casually threw something at the lady and said, “I’ll be your master from now on. If you don’t want to die, listen to me. If you want to be my puppet slave, you’ll have to treat your injuries first. I don’t like sickly people…”

Li Yuanqing tossed over a hundred Replenishment Pills.

Back then, he had signed over a hundred pills at one go. He had consumed over a hundred pills himself, and gave over a hundred pills to Zhaoyang. He still had over three hundred pills left, but they were useless.

Now that he saw that this lady was injured, he simply threw it to her. After all, puppets controlled by the inner demon seed could not betray him.

“Your original form is probably a fox or something like that. From now on, your name will be Hu Jiujiu. Take your medicine…”

Squeak squeak squeak! Hu Jiujiu stared blankly at the hundred plus pills in her hand. She didn’t seem to understand what was going on and was stunned. However, she let out a few happy squeaks in the end. It seems like she is very happy.

It had been many years since she had found a way to heal her injuries. She had sensed the aura of the Green Light Ghost Flower nearby, but she did not expect to be controlled by Li Yuanqing. However, it would be great if she could recuperate with these!

Hu Jiujiu, who did not know how to speak, followed behind Li Yuanqing. When Wang Shun saw Hu Jiujiu, his eyes widened in shock.

Hu Jiujiu was simply too beautiful. She was just like a born vixen. Even if she didn’t speak, she was so charming that it made one’s bones melt just by standing there. With just a glance, Wang Shun warned himself in his heart. I can’t look, I mustn’t look. I’ll die if I continue to look. She’s His Highness’s woman!

However, Wang Shun soon found out that Hu Jiujiu was a mute girl and is Li Yuanqing’s servant. Wang Shun did not dare to ask why such a beautiful girl was mute, or where she came from.

After that, he had been very docile. He did not dare to look Hu Jiujiu in the eye for a second time. He only talked about the fire at the garrison camp last night.

“I heard that the beast tide was the fiercest in recent decades. There was a qilin that could spew fire. It set fire to the encampment with a group of vicious beasts. Some people said that it was probably not a vicious beast, it was very likely to be a demonic beast. The general had already reported it to the Imperial Court and ordered everyone not to spread any rumors…”

Vicious beasts and demonic beasts were not on the same level.

The lowest grade of demonic beasts were even more terrifying than the Beast Kings. In all these years, the Northern Kingdom had never heard of any demonic beasts. At most, they were mostly vicious beasts.

That was why the general of the Wilderness garrison ordered that no one was allowed to spread rumors. He only said that the camp had accidentally caught fire yesterday and that it was fine after the fire was extinguished.

But Wang Shun told Li Yuanqing.

“I’ve seen the fire-breathing qilin. Even though it’s far away, I feel that the beast is smart enough to understand human speech. And I’m sure you wouldn’t expect it, Your Highness. It flares everywhere, but it didn’t really hurt people. It feels like it’s drawing everyone’s attention to it. Then, for some reason, it leaves the camp again…

“If that vicious beast injures anyone, none of us from the garrison camp will be able to escape. We will all die!”

Wang Shun’s voice trembled as he spoke. It was too terrifying.

Li Yuanqing was wary as well. It was way too dangerous out there. Not only were advanced martial artists running around everywhere, even these advanced vicious beasts were running around. If he were unlucky, he might bump into them. He wouldn’t even know how he died then.

In order to survive this dangerous world after transmigration, he had voluntarily come to hide in the desolate Wilderness for three years. It seemed like he had to be more careful. Unless he was unrivaled in the world, he shouldn’t go out and walk around casually.

Otherwise, who knew what terrifying vicious beasts, demonic beasts, or even Martial Saints he would encounter?

“Be careful too. Take away my tea later…”

Li Yuanqing nodded at Wang Shun and took a stroll in the valley. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could get a hundred times reward from the places. This world was too scary. He had to get more capital to defend himself!

Wang Shun’s eyes widened when he was collecting the tea. Oh my god, there’s actually a Marrow Cleansing Pill beside the tea. There was no one else around, and the pill was given to him by the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince had been in the Wilderness for three years, yet he still had such a treasure on him. It was truly unfathomable.

Wang Shun repeatedly warned himself in his heart that His Highness the Crown Prince was a great god. He was his great opportunity and great fortune. Moreover, he couldn’t take a second look at Miss Hu anymore. No matter how beautiful she was, he couldn’t take another look!

Even if there was no one else, Wang Shun still kowtowed in the direction Li Yuanqing left.

A few days later, Zhaoyang actually came to find Li Yuanqing. When the siblings sat down to drink tea, Hu Jiujiu stood by the side. Zhaoyang sized Hu Jiujiu up from head to toe and snorted a few times with an unpleasant expression.

Even a girl like Zhaoyang was jealous of Hu Jiujiu’s figure. Furthermore, her eyes and face were even more beautiful than a budding flower. Even though Hu Jiujiu stood behind Li Yuanqing without saying anything, Zhaoyang’s expression made her stance clear.

Li Yuanqing gestured for Hu Jiujiu to leave.

“Brother, I don’t like her. She looks like a vixen. I’m afraid that you will be mesmerized by her…”

“Ahem ahem, what are you saying? She’s just a mute servant that I picked up!”

Li Yuanqing looked at Zhaoyang helplessly. The girl had grown much taller this time. A thirteen-year-old girl should have been delicate and tender, but she had a confident and powerful aura.

It was normal for her to be so confident and imposing after three years when he thought about how his sister was in the palace and how a young girl in her teens had matured early.

“Oh then, what a pitiful person!” Zhaoyang, who looked like she was protecting her food, heaved a sigh upon hearing her brother’s words. Now, she looked like a warrior who had taken off her armor. Her entire body relaxed as she smiled at Li Yuanqing.

“Brother, just you wait. It won’t be long now. Father has taken a liking to me and specially sent me and Prince Zhongyi to investigate the beast tide in the Wilderness. Once I have the power and authority, I will let you return to the Palace. This place is too bitter…”

Zhaoyang looked around.

It was almost late autumn. The Wilderness was a cold place to begin with, and there were a few pine trees in the valley that could be seen. All that could be seen by the Clearwater Lake were withered branches and leaves.

It wasn’t like the Imperial Palace. At this time, it was still filled with beautiful flowers and plants, and it was filled with a luxurious and comfortable feeling.

If they were in the Palace, how could there be a mute serving girl beside her brother? He was supposed to be the most honorable man in the Northern Kingdom!
