Chapter 497: Indescribable Horror!
One of the assassin team’s leaders took out his communication talisman and reported to the information agent: “The additional target has already been taken into our custody. We are currently waiting for further instruction.”
All of the assassins did not even bother to tie or put any restrictions on Little Seventh since they did not sense any cultivation from her.
Meanwhile, the innocent naive smile on Little Seventh’s cute face became even more apparent until her crimson eyes squinted into the crescent-shaped.
Little Seventh jumped down from the bounded [Wind Riding Bird]’s back and started to look at the black-clothed assassins one by one.
Little Seventh pointed her slender finger at the black-clothed assassins and muttered softly: “One, two, three, four, five… thirty people. Hum~! Not bad, barely enough…”
One of the black-clothed assassins noticed that Little Seventh was still smiling naively and said with a mocking tone while sneering: “Look, guys! This little one is still smiling so stupidly even in this situation. Hahahaha~! Is she stupid or what?”
“Now, I understand why our main target always wanted to protect this one. This little girl should be mentally retarded!” Another black-clothed assassin ridiculed Little Seventh too.
The usual innocent naive smile still plastered on Little Seventh’s cute face as if she did not understand their ridicule at all.
Little Seventh bowed her head and lifted her long white skirt a bit, then said with an innocent and polite tone: “Hi, Gentlemen. My name is Seventh Princess. It is a pleasure to meet you all. As an introductory gift, please watch my dance. I hope you all will be pleased.”
All of the black-clothed assassins looked at each other in confusion.
Before those black-clothed assassins could respond, Little Seventh already raised both of her slim hands and spun her slender body around.
Little Seventh already started dancing like a beautiful little elf in the middle of the forest.
Her every movement was light but lively. It highlighted her naive and innocent temperament even more.
From the beginning, her innocent naive smile never left her stunning yet immature face.
Sometimes she playfully jumped, sometimes she lifted her skirt a bit showing her snow-white calf and spinning around happily.
All of the black-clothed assassins were fascinated by Little Seventh’s beautiful dance and momentarily forgot what they should do.
No one had realized that the current sky during the day started to turn dark bit by bit.
Even the surrounding plants such as grasses, bushes, huge trees, and so on began to wither slowly without anyone noticing.
Little Seventh’s long silver hair followed her movement as she knelled and waved her smooth hands around while giggling happily.
Little Seventh’s beauty was shining like the brightest gem right now.
Even though her immature appearance looked like she was only 12 years old, but her pure and innocent aura made all the males yearn to pamper and caress her in affection.
One of the black-clothed assassins raised his right hand to wipe away his drool, but he felt something hard touch his mouth.
When he looked down to check it, what he saw was a bony hand instead!
“WAAAAAAAAHHH~!!!” That assassin screamed in shock and fear.
How could his hand suddenly become a piece of rotting bone?!
Then he turned around, but what he saw was even more shocking right now.
All of his teammates already turned into a bunch of rotting skeletons!
“Hey, old man! Why are you screaming?” One of the rotting skeletons asked with displeased tone as he took a glance at the assassin who screamed just now.
“What are you… AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH~!!!” After that rotting skeleton asked, he also screamed in horror.
The other black-clothed assassins quickly woke up from their fascination because of the scream.
When they looked around only to see the rotting skeletons around them…
“WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!!!” Shouting and screaming of fear and horror were spreading around the forest.
But the surrounding forest was already completely withered.
When their scream echoed, the surrounding withering trees, grasses, and bushes turned into dust in that instant.
All of the assassins were very frightened.
They tried to urge their Qi to take out their flying treasure from their spatial ring.
They wanted to get out of this spooky place as soon as possible, but they immediately found out that their Dantian already withered.
They did not have even a sliver of their cultivation anymore.
All of them were only ordinary mortals right now!
“Help me~!!!” One of the black-clothed assassins that already turned into rotting skeletons reached his hand to Little Seventh to ask for her help in despair.
But before he could reach Little Seventh, that assassin turned into dust too.
One by one the black-clothed assassins turned into dust, leaving only their black clothes on the barren ground.
In the end, only Little Seventh was the only one left in this entire area, still with her innocent naive smile on her immature face.
Little Seventh lifted her skirt a bit and politely said again: “Thank you for watching my dance everyone. I hope all of you will enjoy your eternal rest.”
Then Little Seventh patted her flat stomach and blurted: “It tastes bad. But at least, I am not feeling hungry anymore.”
Little Seventh turned around and glanced at the white [Wind Riding Bird] that was still tied by several chains and could not move.
The white [Wind Riding Bird] was trembling hard in dread.
When Little Seventh glanced at it, the white [Wind Riding Bird] almost passed out on the spot.
Little Seventh walked to approach the [Wind Riding Bird] still with an innocent naive smile on her face and said softly with a playful tone: “Hmm~! What should I do to you now, little birdie~? Should I eat you too, or should I let you go back to Big Sister Xue~?”
The white [Wind Riding Bird] rapidly shook its head as if it was begging Little Seventh to not eat it.
Little Seventh giggled as she reached her right hand toward the white [Wind Riding Bird].
The white [Wind Riding Bird] was really passed out in fright right now while its mouth spat out white foam.
BBAAAAAAAAAAANGG~!!!
Little Seventh easily tore all of the chains that bound the white [Wind Riding Bird] with her bare hand.
“Hey, you silly little bird! Stop sleeping! Let’s go back to meet with Big Sister Xue again!” Little Seventh shouted while patting the [Wind Riding Bird]’s head.
However, something jumped out from the shadow all of a sudden!
It was actually two meters slender man wearing an ancient servant outfit.
The slender man kneeled down and bowed his head, then said politely: “Servant pays homage to Her Highness Seventh Princess.”
“Her Highness Seventh Princess, this… Your time here is limited. Please, her highness! Consider completing your mission first!” The slender man kowtowed until his head touched the ground.
The innocent naive smile on Little Seventh’s immature face finally disappear as she uttered with a chilling tone: “Huh? What? You, lowly servant, dare to tell me what to do?”
RUMBLE~!!! RUMBLE~!!! RUMBLE~!!!
The black cloud began to cover the sun and sky.
Many cracks were spreading on the slender servant’s body.
There was no blood flowing out of his body, but black gas instead.
It was clear that this slender servant was not from the human race or beast clan!
Moreover, this slender servant was a hundred or even might be a thousand times stronger than those previous assassins, but he still could not even withstand Little Seventh’s aura pressure.
“Sigh…”
Another person slowly walked out from the shadow.
This time, it was an old man in an ancient formal robe holding a tail whisk.
“So, it is Eunuch Gao. What? You also want to order me what to do too?” Little Seventh asked while sneering coldly.
If Tang Li Xue saw the current Little Seventh, she probably would not recognize the current Little Seventh.
Because the majestic and cold aura emitted by the current Little Seventh was completely different from her usual carefree and innocent aura.
The old man did not kneel to Little Seventh.
He only bowed his head and greeted politely: “Eunuch Gao pays homage to Her Highness Seventh Princess.”
“How could I, lowly eunuch, dare to tell Her Highness Seventh Princess what to do… But this lowly one is really surprised. To think this rural island has something that could attract the interest of Her Highness Seventh Princess.” Eunuch Gao inquired while smiling kindly.
Little Seventh’s mood instantly changed back to cheerful and carefree as she showed her naive innocent smile again while replying: “Un~! I met someone very interesting in the previous small town.”
“Oh? I see! We left Her Highness Seventh Princess in that small town before because Her Highness said she was hungry. Who knew Her Highness Seventh Princess could meet a fated person that attract Her Highness’s interest there?! Congratulation! Congratulation!” Eunuch Gao flattered Little Seventh while giving a congratulatory salute to her.
Yes, Little Seventh originally wanted to consume the entire small town before!
If Tang Li Xue did not arrive on time to ‘save’ Little Seventh from those thugs before, the fate of all the people in the small town would already become the same as the current assassins!
“Sigh… It is really a big surprise. Her Highness can find someone interesting in this rural island without any people stronger than Nascent Soul Stage. Fate is really working mysteriously.” Eunuch Gao added.
Little Seventh giggled even more happily as she cheerfully told Eunuch Gao about her favorite Big Sister Xue.
Eunuch Gao patiently listened to Little Seventh’s story with a kind smile on his old face.
After Little Seventh finished her story, Eunuch Gao politely suggested: “This lowly one understands Her Highness’s joy. But Her Highness, our time to complete the task is limited. Our portal back only lasts for a few more days. If we failed to complete our task, this lowly one was afraid Her Highness’s Royal Father might get angry at us.”
When Eunuch Gao mentioned her royal father, Little Seventh started to hesitate.
“How about this? We focus on completing our task first this time. After we go back home, this lowly one will beg His Majesty, so Her Highness can come here again next time. How about it?” Eunuch Gao tried to persuade Little Seventh.
“Hummm~! All right! That is the promise then!” Little Seventh shouted with a cheerful tone.
“How could this lowly one lied to Her Highness?” Eunuch Gao laughed.
“By the way, has Eunuch Gao already gotten any information about the key’s whereabouts?” Little Seventh impatiently asked.
“Yes, Her Highness. This lowly one finds out that the key was stored in the human’s inheritance place called Inheritance Ground Tablet.” Eunuch Gao shared the information he got.
“Okay, what are we waiting for~?! Let’s go now!” Little Seventh spoke again with an impatient tone as she took a few steps forward first.
Then she halted her step and turned around while muttering: “Oh, right~! I almost forgot about you~!”
Little Seventh approached the white [Wind Riding Bird], who pretended to be unconscious until now and had almost been forgotten by everyone there.
The white [Wind Riding Bird] was trembling again in fright as she watched the Little Seventh in horror.
“Don’t worry, little chicken! I will not eat you. But I have to erase your memories about what you had seen here.” Little Seventh explained as she put her right hand on the [Wind Riding Bird]’s head.
The [Wind Riding Bird] really fainted as Little Seventh forcefully erased a small part of the [Wind Riding Bird]’s memories.
After that, Little Seventh walked slowly together with the slender servant and Eunuch Gao, but with each step they took, they would instantly appear hundreds of miles away!
“Oh, right~! When will my coming-of-age ceremony be held?” Little Seventh asked with a tone filled with curiosity.
“Um? Maybe around four years, seven months, twenty-three days away from today. Why is Her Highness suddenly asking about that now?” Eunuch Gao asked back.
“Nevermind~!” Little Seventh replied with a playful tone while giggling happily.
