Chapter 10, how can you be a woman! Clearly, your pectoral muscles are harder than mine

... ... ''

Do you recognize this person

Stepping out of the cave, at the moment of seeing the light of day again, Tang Wei truly felt as if he had been reborn

After refining the two corpse demons, a faint, obscure glow seemed to flash across the two flag-like magical artifacts

Tang Wei spat out a mouthful.

Tang Weiqiang forced herself to ignore Bai Qiuran's words and said to Sima Yingbo: "Sima Yingbo, what are you doing here?"

In the past tales of the martial world, when a female hero disguised as a man was recognized by her companions, there were expressions of surprise, shyness, awkwardness, and even ecstatic joy. However, it was truly the first time for Tang Wei to encounter someone like Bai Qiuran, who doubted the authenticity of her identity.

The two individuals locked eyes for a few seconds, and the young man named Sima Yingbo averted his gaze, looking towards the tree where Tang Wei was hiding

I don't have any particular questions to ask; from your earlier conversation, I have already made a rough guess.

Your Highness, the Princess, please come out; I see you.

After watching Sima Yingbo walk away, Tang Wei turned his head to look at Bai Qiuran, his expression somewhat awkward, and said: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Tang Wei raised an eyebrow

Tang Weiqiang suppressed the unnamed anger in his heart and spoke with *Tu* *Shu*.

This is Sima Yingbo

Bai Qiuran was taken aback.

Your Highness

Tang Wei curiously concealed his figure behind the trees, gazing in the direction from which the sound emanated

Tang Wei paused for a moment and then said, "I understand."

Damn Qi Refinement stage cultivators

Sima Yingbo sighed and said, "Your Highness, please also consider your father and us commoners; your safety is not solely your own concern."

Bai Qiuran grasped Tang Wei's arm, and with a movement of his foot, Tang Wei felt a flurry of light and shadow around them. In the next moment, the two had already landed deep within the withered leaf forest

Bai Qiuran scratched his cheek, feeling somewhat embarrassed

Sima Yingbo's face revealed a hint of helplessness

He is the closed-door disciple of Fu Qianqiu, the national master of Shangxuan Country today

Sima Yingbo shook his head helplessly and then cupped his hands in salute to Bai Qiuran

The two corpse demons struggled and howled incessantly within the cover, and after several seconds of resistance, they gradually became powerless and were burned to ashes by the flames

Eh?

Very well, Your Highness, as you wish. This demon has been eliminated, and you are now capable of ensuring your own safety

Tang Wei said angrily

It is alright, I will seek the answers to these questions about the illustrations and the book myself

Bai Qiuran smiled and said, "I have just one last question, Brother Tang, what is your real name?"

Hmm? Master?

Of course it is true

On that side, there was a young and handsome man, skillfully dodging the attacks of two corpse demons. He manipulated two small flags, red and black in color, while murmuring incantations. His movements were exceptionally agile and elusive, making it impossible for the two corpse demons to catch even a glimpse of his clothing. They could only roar in frustration, futilely destroying the surrounding trees and stones.

Deep within the withered leaf forest ahead

Brother Tang, are you a princess? How is that possible? Clearly, your chest muscles are even harder than mine

Seeing his expression was unusual, Tang Wei quickly inquired.

Someone is engaged in a struggle with those two corpse demons

Bai Qiuran pointed.

I apologize, Your Highness is rather stubborn; I kindly ask the noble warrior to be more understanding.

Tang Wei coldly responded

It is indeed you, Your Highness the Princess. You have left the palace without permission, disguised as a man. What would you do if you encountered any trouble? You should return quickly; both His Majesty and the Crown Prince are very worried about you. Such monsters are not something you can handle. If a few more were to appear, I fear I would also meet my end here.

What?

Bai Qiuran crouched down beside Tang Wei, wrapping her arms around her legs

I do not need you to remind me

Where I go is my own freedom, and I do not require your inquiry

Tang Wei's face revealed a hint of confusion and vigilance

Sima Yingbo did not speak, but simply stared intently at the tree behind which Tang Wei was hiding. After several seconds, a sullen-faced Tang Wei emerged from behind the tree, looking at him with hostility

I will go back, but not with you

He took a step back and cupped his hands towards Bai Qiuran, saying: "It seems that Your Highness has something to say to this righteous man, so I shall not disturb the two of you. However... Your Highness, you should be mindful of your own status"

However, in half a month, it will be the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens in the Shangxuan Kingdom. His Majesty has already instructed us, the attendants, that if we find Your Highness, we must bring you back to the palace.

Looking at the two banners, Tang Wei's expression was somewhat unpleasant

Princess

While the two were conversing, the young man over there seemed to sense something and looked in this direction. Tang Wei was startled and quickly lowered his body, hiding behind a tree. However, Bai Qiu and Tu Shuran remained unafraid, squatting in place and watching him with cheerful smiles.

Hmph, so it can be said that the master of Sima Yingbo is the person sent by the Qingming Sword Sect, the national teacher of the Upper Xuan Kingdom

Tang Wei raised his hand somewhat impatiently and said, "Please go back first and inform Father Emperor that I am safe and on my way back."

Where is it?

Then how do I know that our understanding of the Qingming Sword Sect in the Upper Xuan Kingdom is solely based on ancient texts? Those cultivators hardly communicate with us, except for coming down the mountain to accept disciples

After breathing in a few breaths of air that could hardly be considered fresh, Tang Wei recalled the matter at hand and asked Bai Qiuran, "Bai Qiuran, where are those two solitary corpse demons?"

However, when I observed his techniques and routines, they not only lacked the semblance of the Qingming method, but instead conveyed a somewhat sinister aura

In the midst of evasion, the young man's spell seemed to be ready. Under his command, the two flags danced in mid-air, outlining a massive red rune that trapped the two corpse demons within its confines. Subsequently, the flags descended to the ground, transforming into a red dome that enveloped the two corpse demons. From within the rune, a great blaze surged forth, scorching the two corpse demons.

"In Mangshan, there are demons causing chaos. As a first-class worshipper of the Shangxuan Kingdom, it is only natural for me to subdue demons and eliminate evil, ensuring peace and stability for our Shangxuan Kingdom and its people"

Come with me

Bai Qiuran appeared to be deep in thought

The young man maintained the flames for several more seconds until the bodies of the two corpse demons were completely reduced to ashes, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief and retract his two command flags

After speaking, he turned around and performed a technique of evasion, leaving this place

Perhaps it is because the corpse mother underground has been eradicated, the withered leaf forest in front of the cave appears to be somewhat brighter. Although it remains eerie, the instinctive aversion and fear that once plagued the living have dissipated.

Bai Qiuran replied with considerable interest: "The technique looks like that of a cultivator, and he is about to win"

Bai Qiuran stroked his chin and couldn't help but ask, "But Brother Tang, are you really a princess?"

Bai Qiuran exclaimed, "Who are you calling, little brother?"

This time, there was no need for Bai Qiuran to indicate the direction; Tang Wei also heard the sounds of battle coming from ahead, the howls of the corpse demons, the crashing sounds of trees being broken and falling to the ground, and the shouts of a young man, all mixed together.

Sima Yingbo and Tang Wei exchanged glances for a few seconds, then chose to retreat

What happened
