Henry Xiao could only give up.
After Lucia Lu left, Second Prince Victor Xiao lounged lazily and said, "That girl’s not bad! Pretty and sensible. But..."
He glanced at Henry Xiao, grinning mischievously. "Fourth, you better step up your game!"
Henry’s face reddened. "Second Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Even a blind man can see you like her!" Victor Xiao said. "But her heart might not be yours!"
Henry Xiao’s expression shifted.
"Second Brother, you have no idea!" Princess Quinn Xiao said sourly. "She’s got a crowd around her!
Ryan Lu and Luna Lian always get mobbed by Divine Generals who want them to deliver letters and gifts to Lucia Lu!
In our Divine Generals’ Camp, out of more than forty guys, at least thirty are interested in her!"
"None of them are real threats," Victor Xiao said. "Except for that one—you’d better watch out! He might be a wild seed, but you can’t deny he’s dangerously good-looking!"
Henry Xiao’s eyes flashed with hatred.
......
Outside, Lucia Lu immediately pulled out a Messenger Charm to contact Sean Shaw.
It took him a long time to answer.
"Fifth Highness!" Lucia called out.
According to His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, the Demon Beast destroyed an entire city—countless people died or were injured.
When the Divine Race rushed over, it escaped into the forest.
The Palace Guards are already on the hunt.
Meanwhile, disciples from the Sigil Sect arrived at Clearwind Gorge to investigate.
Ryan Lu and Adrian Drake recognized them and went over to ask what was going on.
The Sigil Sect disciples said the formation was sabotaged from the outside.
Fortunately, they’d set up a hidden Taiqing Clarity Talisman at the array’s core. With it, they could see exactly what happened.
So they activated the Taiqing Talisman and started watching.
At first, the projection showed nothing but calm and quiet—absolutely nothing happening.
Lucia seized the chance to ask Ryan, "Ryan, why did you and Mia come too?"
Ryan shrugged, "Blame this little troublemaker. She insisted on seeing what a Demon Beast looks like and dragged me here!"
Mia Quinn pouted, "Too bad, we got here too late."
Adrian Drake eyed her and teased, "I heard Lord Noctis is already demon-tainted. Why come all the way here just to see a Demon Beast?"
Mia Quinn brightened, "I just want to see if other Demon Beasts are as cute as him! If they are, I want one as a pet."
"Him? Cute?" Ryan exaggerated his shock. "I heard he’s lived for two hundred thousand years and was personally trained by Emperor Ray Quinn. He’s insanely powerful! You actually call him ‘cute’?"
"He’s super powerful, sure! But that doesn’t mean he can’t be cute," Mia said, giving Ryan a look like he was an idiot.
Ryan was speechless.
