Chapter 367 - The Oscillation Period (1/2)

Ou Yangming walked as if he was on wings to the side of Her Highness the Princess’s exclusive carriage. Wu Haohan immediately gestured for him to enter the carriage.

The young fellow hesitated and asked, “Brother Wu, isn’t this quite inappropriate?”

‘You had the audacity to barge into the princess’s carriage that night, so why are you pretending to be innocent now?’ Wu Haohan twitched his mouth and thought. Nonetheless, he would not say it out loud in front of Her Highness no matter what.

Wu Haohan cleared his throat and said softly, “You’re the consort, so it’s fine.”

Ou Yangming’s eyes twitched, and he thought, ‘Consort my *ss! I obviously don’t want to go in because it’s not fine.’

It was then that a voice appeared in his head.

“Brother Ou, since you can enter Bai s.h.i.+xue’s carriage, why are you hesitant about entering mine?”

Ou Yangming was stunned, and he had a strange look on his face. ‘Why does she sound so jealous…

Nevertheless, a normal man would more or less be vain. Ou Yangming sighed and entered the carriage.

Outside the carriage, Wu Haohan, who was constructing a reply in his head to persuade Ou Yangming to enter the carriage, was startled. He later cursed internally.

‘Even if you’re being pretentious, you should at least let me say something. Instead, you made yourself look like you were wronged while you were actually very eager. Y-you’re.. Not being appreciative at all!’

Ou Yangming was greeted with the familiar eyes as soon as he entered the carriage.

This time, the eyes looked glad and cheerful.

“Uhm, Your Royal Highness.” Ou Yangming cupped his hands and sat.

“Do you still have to be so polite with me?” Wu Hanning nodded a little and asked.

Ou Yangming’s face twitched, and he thought, ‘Your Highness, when you mean to frighten someone, you’ll frighten that person to death. Please be more reserved…

Instead of looking at his face, Wu Hanning noted, “I was quite worried just now/”

“What?” Ou Yangming was baffled.

“I was worried you wouldn’t come in.”

“What… What’s there to be worried about?”

Wu Hanning was abashed, so much so that her neck reddened. “You were chosen to be the consort by Father himself, yet you rather go into that vixen’s carriage than join me here. What would the other people think?”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. ‘F*ck, what kind of reasoning is that…’ “Your Highness, you really misunderstood it; I never agreed!” Ou Yangming expressed impatiently. Wu Hanning looked faintly at the young fellow, causing him to swallow his explanation. After all, how many people could ruthlessly ignore a beautiful lady like her?

Moreover, Wu Hanning had an incredibly good sense of propriety. Instead of forcing Ou Yangming to do anything, she quietly supported him aside. As such, even a heartless person could be completely indifferent toward her.

“Let the past be in the past,” the princess said after staring at Ou Yangming for a long time, then she informed him, “There’s new intelligence from Changlong County, and I have the right to receive a part of it. It seems like things aren’t going well.”

Ou Yangming’s face darkened, and his heart tensed up. At the same time, he released vague killing intent.

“What’s the intelligence about?”

Bai s.h.i.+xue could manage a ma.s.sive 2,000-person convoy in perfect order, but she was inferior to the imperial family—the co-owner of the world in terms of this.

Wu Hanning answered in a deep voice, “A great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast appeared in the Immense Forest Military Camp.” Ou Yangming scoffed. “Since a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast appeared, I suppose it won’t be long until that fella shows up, am I right?”

“That’s only a part of the intelligence.” Wu Hanning nodded, then she continued seriously, “We’re suspecting that half-spirit beast is only a distraction.” “What do you mean?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. “The great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast attracted everyone’s attention outside the immense forest; the targeted deployments were drawn to it too. However, just yesterday, plenty of ferocious beasts appeared around Changlong County’s prefecture, many of which are half-spirit beasts,” Wu Hanning explained sternly, “The ferocious beasts appeared quite strangely because n.o.body noticed them in advance, and they charged into the villages and camps once they showed up. Not only did they cause an endless slaughter, but they also cut off the prefecture’s paths to the other areas.”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. “That’s impossible. The prefecture is Changlong County’s core and is far from the immense forest, so how did they get there without alarming anyone?”

It was worth noting that various ferocious beasts had left the immense forest.

If the enemy was an army of humans, perhaps they could fool their kind through some disguise, which would allow them to enter the central city easily; if a group of ferocious beasts was to do the same… Unless the Humans were blind, it was simply impossible.

Wu Hanning shook her head. “I didn’t believe it too when I received the news, but Forefather told me that this upcoming disaster happens to be during the Interspatial Oscillation Period. It’s a crisis, but it’s also an opportunity. He warned me to be careful.”

Ou Yangming frowned and mumbled, “The Interspatial Oscillation Period—what’s that?”

“It’s a secret code used by the upper realm, and it refers to a unique phenomenon related to s.p.a.ce. Changes would occur from time to time in the s.p.a.ce, causing various unexplainable anomalies. This is a catastrophe for different races, but if used appropriately it can help the races to rise.” “What are the anomalies?” Ou Yangming questioned.
