The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 230 - Encountering Danger!

Chapter 230 Encountering Danger!Tianci sat up. The Man-Hunting Insect started to buzz away, signaling Tianci to hurry.

Tianci was so short of breath that he was still panting. How could he run fast?

“No, running away isn’t the solution! I can’t outrun the tiger. Better rest first and recover some of my energy!” Tianci had naturally forgotten the fact he had once scared a large herd of evil beasts away.

Now, his little heart was still thumping wildly and he felt terrible, just terrible. But he still quietly took out a pill and swallowed it.

The pill was a Qi-recovery Pill. It could help him quickly restore his primordial energy.

“Growl growl growl…”

The wind became stronger. It blew the surrounding trees askew. One could tell how powerful that evil beast was, das.h.i.+ng toward Tianci!

Little Tianci stared in terror at the scene before him. A black shadow had lunged past him. Something heavy fell in front of Tianci, causing the ground to tremble. Tianci felt that he could not sit tight!

“Ah… what a big tiger!”

Tianci widened his eyes, staring that the covetous tiger facing him. It was as high as two men. Before it, Tianci was like a little ant…

“Hey, I say Mr. Tiger, I’m so thin and small. I can’t fill your stomach even if you gobble me up. Why don’t you save yourself some time and hunt for some fatter demonic beasts?” Tianci said nervously. He was trying to gain some chance for himself.

It seemed that Dad was right. There would be many powerful demonic or evil beasts along the way from the city. No wonder he hadn’t allowed him to come.

“Haha, human child, you should know that all the anima energy here has been absorbed by a big array. All the demonic and evil beasts around have left because of me… sigh… I haven’t tasted flesh for three months… ” The tiger suddenly spoke.

“Ah… a demonic tiger!”

Tianci started to shout in shock. His little heart began to beat even faster. The tiger did not wish to waste its breath on Tianci. It lunged toward him, opening his large, blood-red mouth, trying to bite Tianci!

“Ah… ” Tianci gave a hideous scream. He had never seen such a large tiger before, and it even wanted to eat him alive…

Boohoo, now he really couldn’t see his Mom! He was not willing to accept this fate!

At the very instant when the tiger tried to swallow Tianci, his abdomen started to emit a bright glow. The light was like a sharp blade with earth-shattering powers. Boom! It struck the tiger heavily on its jaw, causing its ma.s.sive body to soar away directly!

Tianci was originally shutting his eyes tight. But when he heard the tiger’s astonished growls, and the sound of falling and cras.h.i.+ng timber, he opened his eyes in great astonishment.

Good heavens…

His body was s.h.i.+ning, his entire body was s.h.i.+ning!

For some reason, the tiger had landed a near distance away, covered entirely in blood.

“Ouch, ouch, it hurts… you stinking brat! You’re only pretending to be weak… ouch ouch… when I am stronger… ”

The tiger got up and started to complain. But when it saw the glow of light becoming even more intense around Tianci’s body, it became so scared that it streaked away in fright.

If it complained again, it would lose its life. That would be the ultimate tragedy!

Tianci stared shockingly at the light emitted from his body. That Man-Hunting Insect started to flit joyously around Tianci, absorbing the mysterious light emanating from his body.

“Hmmm, my body’s glowing… what a strange feeling. As if a pearl or something’s emitting light in my body, making me feel so comfortable… gasp, even the anima energy of the heaven and the earth has been absorbed by it…”

Tianci said curiously. That ferocious tiger could talk, meaning it was like a human at the Great Completeness of Round Sun. Yet it had been frightened away by the light!

Tianci seemed to have discovered the New World and was excited and rejoicing.

He walked with the Man-Hunting Insect forward. After an hour, they finally came to a path.

The light on his body had disappeared. But after this, Tianci met with no farther mishaps. Neither would he encounter any more trouble.

The Man-Hunting Insect started to fly up suddenly, the light on his body becoming more intense. Tianci stared curiously at it. He sensed that the insect’s powers seemed to have increased.

“Buzz—”

Another soft noise. Tianci saw that the Man-Hunting Insect was a little bigger than before.

“Master, hey, I can talk, I can talk! I’m at Lv 6, hehehe…. thank you for your holy light, Master. It allowed me to promote!”

The Man-Hunting Insect suddenly began to talk. It gave Tianci a big scare.

“You, you… even you can rise in your level?”

“Of course. When a Man-Hunting Insect reaches Lv 6, it can talk and its abilities will be even stronger!” The Man-Hunting Insect said excitedly. His voice sounded childish like a four or five-year-old kid’s.

Tianci was delighted. He rested for a while before climbing to the tallest tree to peer at the horizon. When Tianci saw the city lights, he started to whoop in excitement. It seemed that he was heading in the right direction.

Because that city was the nearest. The other cities were all very far away.

Tianci went down and continued to walk along the path to the outside world.

Tianci was already at the Great Completeness of Cultivation Dimension. His running speed was even faster now. Although Yun s.h.i.+mo did not impart him Mourning Steps, but he was still more powerful than most ordinary Qi Artists.

The little fellow started to run all the way. Finally, he reached a broader official road.

“Gasp. So tiring… is there a carriage that I can take?”

The little fellow sat down on his b.u.m. He saw a luxurious carriage heading toward him.

Tianci rejoiced. He had not expected that he could get everything he wanted. Heaven seemed to be treating him kindly. So he got up and started to wave.

“Hey, hey… take me into the city. Please, carriage owner, take me into the city!” Tianci’s shouts made the coachman pull the reins. He looked curiously at the little fellow by the road.

“Hey, little boy, where are you from? It’s now midnight. Yet you’re by the roading getting the carriage to stop… are you… human?”

The coachman thought of some supernatural occurrences. His face started to blanch in terror.

“Phooey… you’re not human yourself. I am the absolutely authentic, adorable Tianci!” Tianci smiled. The curtain was slowly parted, revealing a delicate little face.

“Coachman, let him come up.” The woman gave a light smile.

“Yes, Miss Murong. Boy, get up the carriage quickly.” The coachman smiled. Tianci was overjoyed. He really went up the carriage and sat beside that woman.

There were three women in the carriage. Two of them looked very young, about 14 to 15. Their attires were simple and they seemed to be the maidservants.

And that woman sitting by Tianci’s side was the mistress. She was expensively dressed and her face was touched up in exquisite make-up.

That woman was none other than Hua Mengs.h.i.+.

Hua Mengs.h.i.+ naturally could recognize Tianci. But Tianci seemed not to recognize her. He was curiously sizing her up.

“Thank you, Sister, for taking me along. But I am a poor, small boy. I don’t have anything to give you. If you don’t mind, how about accepting a kiss?”

Tianci blinked his eyes slyly. Hua Mengs.h.i.+ chuckled. “Little fellow, don’t you think I resemble someone?” Hua Mengs.h.i.+ had naturally heard that Yun s.h.i.+mo had taken Tianci away. But she was a little surprised that the boy had lost his memory.

“Resemble who? Why can’t I remember anything?” Tianci tilted his head. He discovered Hua Mengs.h.i.+ smiling smugly at him.

Why did he feel that this sister’s smile wasn’t so friendly?

And with a hint of smugness?

The Man-Hunting Insect had crept into Tianci’s sleeve and dared not emit a sound. Naturally, it did not want to part from Tianci, since it was Tianci’s “holy light” which had made it gain promotion.

If Tianci’s holy light appeared again the next time, it would get the chance to promote to another level. Then, well, well, it would become the continent’s most powerful Man-Hunting Insect!

“If you don’t remember, forget it. Why are you here so late by the road? Where are you going?”

Hua Mengs.h.i.+ asked with a smile. The Murong Family resided in Xuanyuan City. Quite unexpectedly, she had run into Tianci while hurrying into the city.

With Tianci in her hand, would she still fear Hua Qiyue? The moment she thought of this, Hua Mengs.h.i.+’s heart experienced an extreme joy!

“I’m going to the city!” Tianci smiled, complacent and excited. “Dad won’t let me go, but I sneaked out. I want to find Mom! I might be dying, so I must see my Mom!” Tianci blinked, his face turning downcast.

Hua Mengs.h.i.+ had a great fright. Dying? But looking at Tianci’s facial color, he seemed to be fine. Under the bright light of the luminous night pearl, his little countenance was rosy.

Tianci told her everything about his circ.u.mstances. Hua Mengs.h.i.+ now realized that Yun s.h.i.+mo was nearby.

She was quite worried that her plans might not succeed. If Yun s.h.i.+mo arrived, together with Hua Qiyue who was her powerful opponent, they might then…

Anyway, she must take Tianci along with her.

Hua Mengs.h.i.+ later indicated that she would help Tianci find his Mom, making the boy very happy. He thought he had found a kind soul.

After all, Tianci had forgotten what Hua Qiyue had taught him completely. Like not to eat anything from strangers, not to talk to strangers, not to get close to strangers…

He was now like a newborn baby. The experiences he now had were only from the cave over the past year or two.

Such a young child… how could he oppose Hua Mengs.h.i.+?

————————

Hua Qiyue slept. For some reason, she felt a vague sense of unease. She glanced at the sky and saw a glimmer in the eastern horizon. Dawn would soon break.

Hua Qiyue got up. She combed her hair and washed up. Then, she let the waiter bring up her breakfast.

Ji Feng and the others next door were also up. Although they were busy for the past few days, traveling through the nights, they were still high-level Qi Artists. They could replenish their primordial energy with two hours of sleep.

After taking breakfast, the company set off.

Hua Qiyue sat in her carriage. Murong Zhen’er was with her. And this Murong Zhen’er was such a chatterbox. Most of the time, it was Ji Jing who would be chatting eagerly with her.

But Hua Qiyue was still quite envious of such innocent girls.

“Your Highness, we will soon be in the city. Shall we look for an inn first?”

The driver asked from the outside.

“Yes. First, look for this small inn called Prosperity Inn. Then, locate the largest inn. Because there might be many people there and we can get more information from them. But we must stay… in the small inn.”

Hua Qiyue pondered for a while and gave this answer.

The coachman planned to take the carriage to Prosperity Inn. He drove into the city. It was morning, but there were a great many people entering the city. The auction was about to begin.

Some wealthy businessmen, wealthy Qi Artists and alchemists were taking part in the auction. So there was naturally a big crowd there.

Hua Qiyue narrowed her eyes, staring at the long line. She gave a light sigh. She hoped that this time, she could finally locate Tianci.
