Chapter 418 - The Humans Eight Counties (2/2)

The other people p.r.i.c.ked up their ears too because this was probably what they were most concerned about.

Wu Hanning fell silent for a while, then she answered, “They’ll at most be middle-rank spirit beasts.”

At that moment, she chose to trust Multi-armed King Kong but secretly prayed that the spirit beast did not lie to her.

Sure enough, right after the princess answered the question, Ou Yangming sensed a lighter atmosphere in the air.

If the great ancestors were asked to go to Huangsha County to fight another high-rank spirit beast like Multi-armed King Kong, they would not be willing to do so. Even if the princess had asked, while they would not openly disobey her, they would slack and not put much effort into it, but n.o.body could blame them. On the contrary, if the great ancestors were not faced with a high-rank spirit beast but a middle-rank or a low-rank one, they could at least put up a good fight.

Ou Yangming cleared his throat to draw everyone’s attention. He looked around and asked, “Are you fully equipped?”

Woo Lejia and the others flashed smiles at him and answered, “Yes, we are. Thank you, Master Ou.”

In actuality, the Supreme Great Ancestors were only armed with weapons and armor; very few of them had pieces of equipment like boots.

As compared to Ou Yangming or Big Yellow, they were Heaven and Earth apart, but n.o.body dared to blame the young fellow. Back then, some of them might have thought that they could at least suppress Ou Yangming in terms of martial arts because they had become great ancestors. Now, when they looked at the big yellow dog beside him and thought about the ma.s.sive creature outside the prefecture, n.o.body dared to disrespect him anymore.

Ou Yangming grinned. “Great! If that’s the case, please follow Miss Bai’s arrangements tomorrow and head to Huangsha County together. I hope you can travel as fast as possible this time.”

The powerhouses understood his hidden meaning. They struck their chests and guaranteed that they would travel light to not delay the important matter. Wu Hanning secretly lamented as she watched from the side. After all, Ou Yangming was likely the only person in the world who could be revered by so many Supreme Great Ancestors, who also pledged loyalty to him.

Perhaps Ou Yangming had set his mind on going beyond Heaven after he met Multi-armed King Kong. If that were not the case, the mighty Ou Yangming would be the imperial family’s greatest disease.

Bai s.h.i.+xue blinked her beautiful eyes and asked abruptly, “Brother Ou, you asked me to travel with them. What about you?”

Wu Hanning had previously described the crises in the other counties and asked the powerhouses to support Huangsha County, but she did not mention where she and Ou Yangming were going to.

While the princess’s little trick could not be noticed by the unintentional people, it was picked up by Bai s.h.i.+xue, the smart young lady.

Ou Yangming let out a dry cough and answered, “I’ll go to Feiya County.” “Oh, so we’re not traveling together,” Bai s.h.i.+xue spoke meaningfully.

The Supreme Great Ancestors were afraid, so they shouted, “Master Ou, you mustn’t go there!”

They regarded Ou Yangming to be much more honorable than the imperial family’s strongest powerhouse, hence they did not allow him to go on an adventure alone.

Ou Yangming waved his hand. “Big Yellow and Multi-armed King Kong will be protecting me. Do you think anything can harm me?”

Everyone else exchanged glances and smiled bitterly as they were speechless. Yes. Protected by the two potent beasts, even Wu Yuanwei would not be able to hurt the young fellow at all. Bai s.h.i.+xue questioned again, “Brother Ou, are you going there alone?”

Ou Yangming opened his mouth and was about to say that he would be traveling with Her Royal Highness, but he changed his reply at the very last second, “I’m going there with Elder Ying; we’ll be accompanying Her Highness.”

Wu Hanning cast a strange look at him and smiled faintly.

Bai s.h.i.+xue curled her lips and suggested, “Brother Ou, since the Supreme Great Ancestors are the only ones heading to Huangsha County, I’ll only be a burden to them. How about I go to Feiya County with you too?”

Woo Lejia and the others were startled. They looked away and shut their mouths as they dared not say a word. It would be best for them to stay out of this…
