CHAPTER 646: CHAPTER 103: PRINCESS LONG XUE’S INVITATION

The Golden Unicorn did not believe that this treacherous-looking human would really heal its wounds so decisively.

It was originally one of the Five Holy Beasts of the Xuan Beast Ridge, and among the Holy Beasts, it was the youngest, with the highest talent.

When a disaster struck the Xuan Beast Ridge, it was in the process of impacting its Dark Pill, with hopes of becoming the only Dark Beast among the Five Holy Beasts to truly possess one.

But at the critical moment of impacting its Dark Pill, it heard a sorrowful wailing of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The wailing came from the Five Saints Mountain. The Five Holy Beasts had governed the Five Saints Mountains for a thousand years, and that mournful cry signified the fall of the other four Great Holy Beasts.

It was that moment of distraction that caused the Dark Energy in Jin Jiao’s body to reverse its flow, leading to Deviation and damage to its Dantian.

Its form also transformed from the tall and handsome Golden Unicorn into a juvenile foal.

Following the consecutive falls of the four Great Holy Beasts, the Five Saints Mountain also faced an unprecedented crisis, with a large influx of mercenaries.

At that time, a group of poaching mercenaries happened to break into the Golden Horn Peak and captured it, mistaking it for an ordinary foal.

Thanks to its extraordinary golden fur, it was eventually sold into the hands of Princess Long Xue.

Compared to the duplicitous Princess Long Xue, with its Holy Beast intuition sharper than that of other Dark Beasts, the Golden Unicorn knew the human in front of it was very dangerous.

If it did not agree to this person, it believed that in the next second, he would turn hostile, and as a Holy Beast, it definitely did not want to return to a gilded cage like the Linglong Stables.

After much contemplation, at last, the Golden Unicorn lowered its noble head and allowed Yue Jinghua to use the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique to heal its injured meridians and Dantian.

With the use of the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique and the effect of the Green Liquid, in just one day and night, the Golden Unicorn was able to stand and walk.

On its forehead, the spiral horn symbolizing the Unicorn’s Cultivation, had regrown a small portion again.

Yue Jinghua, following their initial agreement, left a hidden Five-star Radiance mark on its abdomen.

After a period of summoner training, Yue Jinghua’s Summoner level had entered the Silver Rank, and her Demon Summoner level had broken through the Bronze Level, allowing her to control six Dark Beasts simultaneously under the dual use of Five-star and Six-star Radiance.

Just in terms of numbers, compared to summoners of Ancient Times who could command a hundred Dark Beasts in large armies, this might not seem like much.

But the Dark Beasts of Yue Jinghua were typical examples of quality over quantity. Any random Dark Beast from her side was a seventh or eighth-level High-level Dark Beast, so when considering the overall combat power, it wasn’t impossible for the current Yue Jinghua to challenge Dan Realm Experts of higher levels.

Facing the Sub-Asian Dragon armies of the Imperial Dragon Cavalry Group, as long as there were not more than ten Sub-Asian Dragons, she would be more than capable of handling them.

After Yue Minzhi returned from the Imperial City, he decided to set out for Fandi Port.

But he also brought back a precious saddle set and a handwritten letter from Princess Long Xue, "Huahua, are you familiar with Princess Long Xue? She said you selected a Treasure Beast from the Linglong Stables, mentioned that a good horse needs a good saddle, and asked me to bring this saddle set for you."

Upon examining the saddle, Yue Jinghua noticed it was embedded with three sixth-rank Profound Beast’s Dark Pills; in addition, a Thousand-mile Wing Wind Dark Array was carved on it. The saddle alone was worth tens of thousands of Dark Pills.

"Big brother, I don’t know Princess Long Xue. I only saw her for the first time last night in the school field," Yue Jinghua felt puzzled as well.

Although she was greedy for money, she wouldn’t casually accept possessions of unknown origin.

After opening the letter, she saw only one sentence written: "Meet me at midnight tonight on Yun Jiu Peak."

After pondering for a moment, Yue Jinghua accepted the saddle.

When night fell, she set out towards Yun Jiu Peak.

On her way up the mountain this time, she encountered no guards, clearly Princess Long Xue had taken care of it in advance.

She traveled unimpeded, and when she arrived at the usual training site for the Dragon Rider Reserve Camp on Yun Jiu Peak, she saw that Zhan Tian, the Storm Giant Dragon, and Princess Long Xue were all already waiting there.

Seeing Zhan Tian also present, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but be on guard. The Storm Giant Dragon made a loud snort upon seeing Yue Jinghua.

"There’s no need to pretend anymore, kid, or perhaps I should call you little girl. So young, yet full of sly tricks—I almost got fooled by you," Zhan Tian said discontentedly upon seeing Yue Jinghua.

Only then did Yue Jinghua realize that her identity had already been seen through. She chuckled twice, her dark eyes circling Princess Long Xue’s figure.

"Zhan Tian, don’t scare her. Strictly speaking, she’s still my student," Princess Long Xue said with a smile, looking quite different from the aloof princess of the daytime.

A student? Yue Jinghua stuck out her tongue, puzzled by the situation.

"How is that little girl Shalman doing? And old Qiu Chuzi? I wonder if they have forgotten their Vice Principal," Princess Long Xue said casually before sitting down on the ground, plucking a blade of grass, and putting it in her mouth.

"Your Highness, you!" Zhan Tian found Princess Long Xue’s casual demeanor quite troublesome.

"Princess what princess? By day I am the princess, but at night I am Xue Lingshang, the Vice Principal of the Royal Xuanji Academy," said Princess Long Xue of the day, who appeared very cold, her every word and action exuding the dignity of a high-ranking person; however, now, having shed her disguise, she resembled the style of the Outer Court of the Xuanji Academy.

"You’re the long-missing Vice Principal? But why would Princess Long Xue of the Dragon War Empire run off to Shang Kingdom to become a Vice Principal?" Yue Jinghua was flabbergasted.

Poor Qiu Chuzi complains every day about the academy having no funds, claiming they are too poor to operate. If he knew his Vice Principal was none other than Princess Long Xue of the Dragon War Empire, the primary heir to the Imperial Throne, who knows if he would faint outright.

"It’s a long story, but being a Vice Principal is much more interesting than being a laborious princess. If it weren’t for Zhan Tian having found me, I really would have liked to remain a Vice Principal forever," Princess Long Xue said with a playful glare at Zhan Tian, who could only helplessly shake his head.

If it weren’t for Long Teng the 72nd falling ill, the Princess likely would have preferred not to return to the palace.

What the Princess longs for is the vast freedom beyond the Imperial City, but in reality, because of her identity, from the moment of her birth, her destiny was sealed to only have the azure sky above Wohua Imperial City.

"However, I didn’t call for you tonight to discuss this. Yue Jinghua, I want you to monitor Long Jiuzun on the upcoming trip to Fandi Port," one moment, the candidly revealed identity of Princess Long Xue was nonchalant, but the next, her words were quite unexpected for Yue Jinghua.
