The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 931 - 929: A Step Too Late
By the shores of Black Water Lake, Empress Feng witnessed the scene and felt a chill run down her spine.
A gust of night wind blew past.
A few severed hands and feet floated to the surface of the water.
"What kind of ghostly thing is that?"
Empress Feng muttered to herself.
"In this world, there is no such thing as Dragon Bait."
The words spoken by President Mu when he jumped into the water still echoed in Empress Feng’s ears.
"That old fool, daring to deceive me."
Empress Feng looked towards the lake surface, which seemed calm but now appeared terrifying to her.
She had realized that President Mu had deliberately lured her here.
The red beads that fell into the water earlier were likely the eggs of those Fierce Beast Red Fish.
Once in the water, they began to hatch, and she had fallen into the trap.
Empress Feng gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and turned back to the city.
Fortunately, the old man’s granddaughter was still around; perhaps she could glean some clues from her.
After Empress Feng left, the Rainbow Dragon Trout fry, hatched from the Rainbow Dragon Trout eggs, swam around for a moment.
After devouring human flesh, they grew rapidly.
They swam repeatedly in Black Water Lake, heading towards the location of the Dragon Ancient Tomb.
As they neared the tomb, the Rainbow Dragon Trout emitted a series of wailing cries.
The sound transmitted into the Dragon Ancient Tomb.
From deep within the Dragon Ancient Tomb, an angry roar echoed.
The sound was like a dragon’s roar, akin to thunder crashing down, unending in its resonance.
"Those who seize my Dragon Vein, those who offend my Dragon Clan, shall die!"
In the dead of night, Xin Lin suddenly felt her eyelid twitch violently, and she awoke from her dream in fright.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
The furious dragon in her dream seemed to be right in front of her.
The dragon’s furious roar continually echoed in her ears.
"Why did I dream of Black Water Lake?"
Xin Lin murmured.
Perhaps hearing the story from President Mu earlier, and the use of the Dragon Vein, caused Xin Lin to dream of that Ice Horned Dragon tonight.
Only in the dream, the Ice Horned Dragon had not yet been stripped of the Dragon Vein; it was still very fierce.
She pondered for a moment and retrieved the Dragon Vein from the Tuling hairpin.
"What is this?"
Upon opening the box and seeing the Dragon Vein inside, Xin Lin’s expression changed.
The Dragon Vein was glowing intensely.
The faint blue Water Spirit was very active.
"Something’s happened, that Old Spirit Chef is dead."
In the darkness, Gui Hu suddenly appeared.
"What?"
Xin Lin was startled, nearly dropping the box in her hand.
She hastily put the box away.
"The person is already dead, you won’t make it in time if you rush over now. For the moment, go to the inn and rescue that little girl. There are more than four Xuan Transformation Realm experts lying in ambush outside the inn."
Gui Hu shook his head.
Xin Lin was still too careless.
Fortunately, he had secretly assigned two ghost soldiers to keep watch.
Yet it was still too late.
Xin Lin hurried to the inn.
Just as Gui Hu said, several strong strands of True Qi were lying in ambush nearby.
After pondering for a moment, Xin Lin quickly gathered her Fire Spirit. With a flick of her finger, a Fire Explosion ignited, and a wisp of blue smoke rose from the inn’s stable.
Before long, someone inside the inn cried out in alarm.
"There’s a fire!"
Mu Jin, still asleep, was startled awake by the shouts, instantly dispelling her drowsiness.
Her first reaction was to look for President Mu.
The inn was in chaos, and amidst the firelight, Mu Jin searched around but couldn’t find President Mu’s shadow.
"Mu Jin, come with me."
Upon hearing Xin Lin’s familiar voice, Mu Jin quickly followed her, escaping from the inn amidst the smoke and flames.
By the time Empress Feng returned, Fenglin Inn had turned into a sea of fire.
As for Mu Jin, her whereabouts were unknown.
