Chapter 522 "Strange Number, Thirty-One (p2)"

Feng Shen was thunderstruck by the sound signature. He recognized it immediately and shot his eyes over to the direction. There, his eyes sparkled with delight and relief at the familiar figure slowly coming into the light.

“Feng…” Ling Yue's words didn't even have time to finish before the girl's waist became tightly bound by a pair of powerful arms.

The boy actually unabashedly hugged her in front of everyone!

“Feng Shen, I am fine~” Ye Ling Yue Murmuring in the boy's ear, Ling Yue pushes him back a bit to force that pair of hand loose so she could get some air.

Though reluctant, the overreacting Feng Shen could only relent. He too has noticed the extra attention coming their way after cooling down in the head. Nevertheless, that's not going to stop him from examining the girl up and down to make sure Ling Yue was fine in every way he could imagine. Aside from being a little red in the cheeks, there's nothing else wrong according to his a.s.sessment.

As for everyone else, the reactions varied: Hong Ming Yue's expression naturally grew dark at the appearance of her half-sister, Chen Minzhi delighted like he's discovered a new land ma.s.s, and the rest surprised by the girl's ability to make it this far by herself alone.

“Miss Ye, it's good seeing you back with us in good health. But that's not going to work either. Even with you, we're still missing one last person." Coughing awkwardly, Cong Lu attempts to defuse the last bit of uncomfortable atmosphere in the air, which seemingly worked out well to his own defense.

“Then what if we add him too?” As she says that, Ye Ling Yue then held up the little furball in her possession for all to see.

"What a lovely little fella!" Princess Qing Bi cries out like a girl discovering the most adorable thing.

Talk about an att.i.tude change. What happen to the "mutt" and ugly little thing she was spouting before when they were outside?

“Stand back Qing Bi, Little Squeak doesn't like others getting too close to him.” Blocking the princess's path was none other than Feng Shen.

The former not willing to give up just yet immediately snuck another glance at the little furball by looking sideways. It was then where she received the growling reception, showing off how dangerous the little guy actually was.

Jolting back a step in the next second, the princess was horrified to find the cuddly little creature to be so ferocious despite the adorable appearance. The razor-sharp fangs, the sharp glistening claws, just looking at them was enough to send chills down the girl's spine.

“That's settled then. Though the jade did say thirty-one, there's no clue indicating it must be that number. But since we're all here, let's avoid any mistakes or casualties until we're through alright?"

But before they headed out though, Feng Shen made sure to use this free time to ask his woman on what happened. Ling Yue didn't divulge the matter about Xue Pian Ran, but she did mention Consort Luo's attempt at trapping her inside the sealed chamber. As for the last bit about the boy's illness being able to be cured, she figured this wasn't the best time to be talking about such stuff after hesitating.

“You are still not dead?” Hong Ming Yue confronts her half-sister with those glaring eyes.

“Ho, it couldn't be that Princess Ming Yue wants to come fight me for the Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill would you? Let's not forget, we are all on the same boat at this point. Thirty one people, not one less." Ling Yue scoffs a laugh, dismissing the foe.
