The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 359 - 356: Dream Lover
The deeper they went, the fewer branching paths there were from earlier on, until finally only the main thoroughfare remained before them.
Walking down this road, they would be able to meet the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship.
A triumphant smile played across Huang Zhijun’s face.
At that moment, she stepped forward.
Suddenly, a dense white mist rose up before her eyes.
Huang Zhijun’s expression changed ever so slightly.
But as the white mist gradually dissipated, a figure emerged in front of her.
The figure was tall and stood out in the mist, vaguely discernible as a man.
"Lord Taichang!"
Huang Zhijun had not expected that the Minister of Imperial Sacrificial Worship would deign to wait for her in the labyrinth.
Overjoyed, she hurriedly straightened her clothes and approached him.
The man turned around.
Seeing the man’s face clearly, Huang Zhijun’s expression changed once again.
"Why is it you?"
Huang Zhijun was both shocked and delighted, staring at the man in black before her.
The man was tall and handsome, adorned in a black gold-plated robe, with profound features and a pair of deep blue eyes that shone brightly like stars.
Huang Zhijun’s heartbeat suddenly went rogue.
She gazed at the strikingly handsome man before her, utterly entranced.
Ever since their parting at the stream, she had not seen him again.
She had fallen for him at first sight and dreamed of meeting him once more.
The man stood with a smile, looking at her.
Unconsciously, she took a few steps forward, wanting to embrace the man.
But just then, the man’s expression changed abruptly, and suddenly, a Red Toad opened its shell, swallowing Huang Zhijun in one gulp...
Xin Lin followed the Tiger Back Ant, advancing unimpeded although she did not have a map, as the living Earth itself, the Tiger Back Ant, paved the way for her.
As for the snakes Ma Jingtian talked about, or the great fires and ferocious tigers mentioned by other pilgrims, Xin Lin did not encounter any of them.
After a few steps, Xin Lin paused.
She narrowed her eyes, looking towards the mist ahead.
The labyrinth was filled with mist everywhere, which affected visibility and made the field of view quite narrow.
A few shadows darted out.
"The young lady was right, this little wretch really entered."
"Last time, it was this little wretch who caused several of us brothers to get shot by arrows."
"The young lady said to make it quick."
The Protectors set their menacing sights on Xin Lin as they circled around her.
All of them had the cultivation level of martial masters, more than enough to handle a young girl.
Suddenly, the Protectors attacked from all sides.
The whistling of fists and the shadows of flying kicks enveloped Xin Lin’s small figure.
Xin Lin bent down, grabbed the Tiger Back Ant on the ground, and placed it back into the small porcelain bottle.
As she stood up, her eyes transformed.
With a step, she slowly pushed out her fists, moving as if in slow motion, barely faster than a snail.
Her actions, seen by these battle-hardened Protectors, were undoubtedly a joke.
But at that moment, the Protector to her left let out a muffled grunt.
His arm was hit by a punch from Xin Lin, which snapped loudly, and the next moment, the arm twisted to one side.
Seeing Xin Lin land a punch, another Protector on the right side roared as he grabbed her shoulders, but in a blur, the young girl slid from under his gaze and slipped away.
His back absorbed a punch from Xin Lin.
With that punch, the Protector, weighing over 180 pounds, was sent flying straight out.
Amidst the mist, Xin Lin stood firm, facing four or five Huang Residence Protectors who were several times her size and strength. With each step and punch, she knocked each one down, and in a blink, all were sprawled on the ground.
