"Xiao s.h.i.+… This… What is going on?" 

However, just like him, Xiao s.h.i.+ was confused. She spread her sense around and see if there was any trap, or if the one they were looking at was only an illusion. 

Of course, Yen Mingue was the same, however, it still did not remove the possibility that they were fighting with girls. 

How could be possible when even Justice Affairs and YunYings had a hard time dealing with Xiao s.h.i.+ alone? 

Yet, no one could deny that the two girls fight with her head-on. 

It was actually not comparable since Xiao s.h.i.+ had lived for more than a century, while the girls in front of them clearly have a life force lower than fifteen! 

When one looked closely, it could be seen that one was wearing all black robes while the other wears all white. 

They were both on the ground, wounded because of his attacks. However, the murderous intent, as well as the desire for revenge, was clearly seen in their eyes. 

Yen Mingjue felt like they were not mortals at first, but with them being hurt, it seems they just had a unique ability to be able to attack them. However, he could worry about that for later. There must be a particular reason why they were inside the Void Forest. 

From the time they had stepped out of the dimensional portal, he already felt unfamiliar magic surrounding the forest. That was the reason why he put his guard up, thinking that the YinYings might have invaded in the Void Forest as well. 

On the other hand, he knew that the Void Forest does not have any resident aside from his mother and her bone servants. 

"What is going on here?! Where is my mother?!" Yen Mingjue suddenly demanded. 

After that, the two watched the girls looked at each other in confusion. 

"Mother? You are looking for your mother?" the one who wears the white robes asked softly. "My master, did not tell us about a missing woman… Are you here to make a wish for us to look for her?" 

"It is impossible for my mother to be missing! Who is your master? Why are you all here?!" He said, getting agitated by the second. Yen Mingjue was so confused not only because of the unknown girls as well as the further his senses reach with the forest. The more he was not able to sense his mother. 

"Xiao s.h.i.+! Look for her!" 

"Yes, master." 

"No! You cannot pa.s.s here without an offering! Li Mae, seize them!" The white robe kid said. At this time, both of the girls were already standing, and the one who wears black robes was already forming seals using her hands. 

"Warlock?" Yen Mingjue blurted out surprised because the Warlock race was extinct a long time due to their use of forbidden techniques. 

However, his shock was just momentary, and he managed to react quickly. "Xiao s.h.i.+! I will take care of them!" Yen Mingjue commanded loudly. His spiritual energy was able to spread wide, and it was strong enough to make the girls weak in the knees, to the point that they almost kneeled. 

Despite the pressure, the white robe girl endured and did not succ.u.mb to it. Without fear, she yelled, "No! You cannot pa.s.s! I will kill-"

"That is not necessary, my dear Meili." An enchanting voice suddenly spoke from afar, cutting off the child wearing white robes, who was called 'Meili'. 

"Master!" 

"Mother!" 

It was blurted out at the same time, making all parties stiffened. 

After chuckling, "This is really interesting. Jue'er, these pretty girls are my disciples. They are just doing what I instructed earlier. Please come to everyone." w.a.n.g Yin said. Her voice was laced with warmth and carefreeness that anyone would find comfortable to listen to. 

"Young… Young Master, let me guide you to the shop…" Lu Meili said softly, not even looking at them. She was looking at the ground, her long hair covering her face. 

"No need. I know the way as long as there is no one interfering with the map in the s.p.a.ce of this place." He replied expressionlessly before the hounds leaped into the air. Xiao s.h.i.+ followed behind, leaving the girls by themselves. 

Yen Mingjue was not mad at the girls. Especially when his own mother said that it was the girls' tasks to guard the forest, they were not doing a c.r.a.ppy job, but he was annoyed as he was delayed too much already.

Since he was in a hurry, it did not take long for Yen Mingjue to arrive shop's entrance. There he also saw a woman standing in front of it. 

The woman's face was flawless, an ethereal beauty that anyone could not help but stare at, and lose their rationality to the point of removing rationality. It would make any male question if they were dreaming or not. 

This was already the case when she was not even smiling. What more if she was? Just like how she smiled at them with happiness when she saw their arrival. 

"Greetings to your Majesty…" Xiao s.h.i.+ said as she kneeled with a bow, her forehead touching the dark ground. 

"Master, " The girls who just arrived greeted, "We are sorry, we did not know that the Young Master…" Lu Meili softly muttered. 

"Don't worry about it. My son understands." She said, looking Yen Mingjue's vessel, which was a black devil hound, that was as big as a horse. 

w.a.n.g Yin then commented brightly, "Jie'er, your vessel looks cute. Xiao s.h.i.+, you still look young and pretty." She then chuckled, "Of course, that is very easy for you to do. Eh? Jie'er, what is wrong?"

Instead of answering, the black hound slowly got bigger. It was as tall as the shop. When it stopped increasing its size, the hound looked at them and opened its mouth, dropping an unconscious woman.
