Chapter 485 “A Different Kind of Love Pledge (1)”

All worried and anticipating in his eyes, the little fox faces the bird immediately: “Squeak (Little Crow, are you willing to be my little wife?)

In response, Little Crow only blushed while she nodded.

As a member of the Phoenix race, it’s only normal for the girl to want to be beautiful.

Others may not know this but the poor girl definitely did. There’s been multiple occasions where she would hide alone in a corner to cry by herself over the fact that she’s not naturally born beautiful like the rest of her race.

Fortunately, she had her own knight in shining armor whenever her mood became depressed.

“If you can’t find someone to take you in the future then I will. I won’t dislike you for your appearance.” Those were the words the little guy would always say to her, giving her comfort and support until this day.

“Squeak (Little wifey hug)” Breaking out from his tearful appearance to utter joy, the little fella proudly cocks his head up like a victorious general.

It’s been a while since he last squirmed into Ling Yue’s dress after Wu Chong openly threatened him, now that he’s got a wifey to do that instead, it’s only normal that the troublemaker would jump onto the opportunity.

A while later after a bit of fun.

When Ling Yue finally came out of her pocket dimension and brought Little Crow before everyone, there were definitely a wave of astonishment among the crowd.

There’s nothing surprising about a phoenix taking human form, they’ve seen it enough times already in the past when Little Crow transformed. But what’s up with the Lolita appearance? That’s the real reason why they were all so gobsmacked at the moment.

And as an extra measure of consideration, the background story they would be using from now on would be an orphan girl adopted by Ling Yue. Towards this decision, everyone was surprisingly unified in this front.

But not everything was going perfectly smooth of course. It didn’t take long for the news of Chen Minzhi’s body disappearing from its original spot to reach their ears after a battle alchemist rushed over to report.

“The other bodies of the Kai Jiang Manor have all been cremated so there wouldn’t be any traces left to point the incident in our direction. The only strange thing is that person’s corpse being missing. I suspect some of the spirit beasts in the forest had gotten to it before us when we left the other day.” After some speculation, this was the only plausible conclusion A’bone could come up with.

Although the wild girl did question some of her animal friends to get to the bottom of this, but the answer they gave were a clear no. Nevertheless, the fact that Chen Minzhi murdered many of their comrades were a fact, it’s justifiable in everyone’s mind that the perpetrator did it out of hatred and refused to admit it.

Now, with everything done and over here with, Ling Yue figured its time she too would leave the ancient forest considering how late they were. They’re already behind on schedule due to this episode, it’s imperative her party made haste even if Jin Wu Monster and A’bone had to stay behind. But unbeknownst to the girl herself though, there were some discrepancies to that assumption.

It’s true Xia Hou Qi and his party did take the main road while her group took the off-beaten path, but no one could have foreseen a giant rainstorm delaying the main party. In the end, both groups were able to make it to their final destination of North Qing’s capital with half a month to spare before the Star Cave Venture begins.

If Da Xia’s capital were to be described as a fair maiden in a lovely township then the capital of North Qing – also known as Di Shing City – would be a nobleman’s daughter of exemplary grandeur.

“Your Highness, further up ahead is Di Shing City.” The one speaking on horseback was none other than Hong Ming Yue. Due to Luo Song’s treasured gourd being badly damaged during that fight in Underground City #9, the girl had no choice but to accompany the rest of the party using the horses. Otherwise, flying just by herself would be a great insult to not only her senior, but to the prince as well.
