Chapter 4949: Begging Is Useless

"No, no! No," Lilybelle Five shrieked, her eyes wide with terror, suddenly startled by a beastly roar.

She felt a sudden pain in her chest. Looking up, she saw herself being trampled under a agile calf.

The calf's eyes gleamed with cold light, staring fixedly at her, frightening Lilybelle Five into uncontrollable screaming.

She trembled all over, desperately trying to turn her head. "Grand Master, Grand Master, Grand Master Shentu, save, save me, save..."

At that moment, a Dark Guard holding a thin willow-leaf blade walked emotionlessly to her side.

Lilybelle Five felt a fear she had never experienced before. Her body shook uncontrollably, and she pleaded in panic, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Your Highness, please, please spare me, spare my life."

Ming Yasi sneered, "What use is your life to me?"

Lilybelle Five's eyes widened in horror. She desperately covered her face with both hands, letting out sharp screams. "No, no, you can't take my face, you can't."

"Heh heh," Ming Yasi coldly scoffed, interrupting the woman's screams. "Do you even deserve to look like the Crown Princess? You lowly woman, shameless thing. You only deserve to hide in dark ditches, forever an ugly, stinking rat."

"Ah ah ah ah ah—ah!!"

A quarter of an hour later, Lilybelle Five was thrown to the ground, her hands stained with blood. She trembled, covering her face, her body curled in unbearable pain, gasping for breath, barely clinging to life.

"You, you bastard, bastard... ah!" Her curses were cut short by a whip lashing her back from a Dark Guard.

"Your Highness, that envoy leader was injured and fled in a panic. Everyone else was killed on the spot."

"Oh?" Ming Yasi cast a smiling glance at Lilybelle Five, who was curled up on the ground.

"It seems he's not a weakling after all."

Ming Yasi dropped his smile and coldly ordered, "Close all city gates. Hunt this person down by sea."

"Alive, we demand the person; dead, we demand the corpse."

"Yes!! Your Highness."

When Qiao Mu emerged from her sleeping bag, her hair disheveled, she gazed at the smooth, clear blue overhead, feeling a little disoriented for a moment.

She rolled over and sat up, then remembered she was currently in a Cangzhou spiritual artifact cabin.

She had already left that impoverished little fishing village, lacking in supplies.

"Why not sleep a little longer? We haven't arrived yet," Duan Yue walked slowly towards her, smiling.

"Did I sleep for a long time?"

"Not really," Duan Yue came right up to her. "Just a little over an hour."

"Oh." Qiao Mu felt quite energetic now.

Although her sleep hadn't been long, it had been peaceful. She hadn't had any of those chaotic dreams at all.

"We should reach the entrance of the Sacrificial Sea Abyss around nightfall."

"Qiaoqiao, I'll take some people down to check it out later. Would you like to stay up here?"

Qiao Mu reached out and touched her belly, considering for a few seconds, then obediently nodded. "Okay."

Duan Yue smiled slightly. "By the way, your divine consciousness..."

At the mention of this, Qiao Mu felt a bit annoyed. She pouted and said, "Even though I take Soul Calming Pills every other day, I still have to wait for my divine consciousness to fully recover before I can open my Star Domain."

"I estimate it will take about six or seven more days."

Duan Yue nodded. "Don't rush, take your time."
