"Princess, I think we must have misunderstood; it's really not what you think."
However, the other party kept staring at Li Rui with a sinister gaze, making him feel uneasy, as if he had gotten himself into serious trouble.
Suddenly! A loud "bang" sounded from outside the door, and several guards rushed in abruptly.
"What are you doing here without my orders?" the princess exclaimed as she turned around repeatedly.
"Who needs your orders?"
A middle-aged man stepped out from behind the guards, wearing a crown and a dragon robe; it seemed this was the king of the place.
Li Rui thought the situation was already bad enough, but then the king ordered two or three guards to capture him.
At that moment, Li Rui blinked, and with a sudden loud bang around the guards, they took a step forward, facing their fate.
After upgrading his abilities, it was actually his first time using them, and he found it quite sufficient.
In the next second, a bizarre scene unfolded. From the edges of the explosion surrounding the guards, black flames began to spread from the ground, engulfing each guard.
"What do you want to do?" The king was frightened and kept asking.
Li Rui felt that everything here was a misunderstanding. He just wanted to find a quiet place to recover his meridians and did not intend to kill anyone right away. Yet, the king wanted to act without understanding who his opponent was.
After briefly explaining, Li Rui intended to leave. Little did he know that this princess was truly unreasonable; she accused Li Rui of being sinister and claimed he had done something to her before trying to leave.
However, after Li Rui shot her a glare, she immediately fell silent.
"Caier, don't do this. Let the young master go back," the king said, fully aware of the situation.
At this moment, she was confused and didn't know how to handle things.
Li Rui wished to leave this place as soon as possible. As soon as the king spoke, he left without looking back.
"Father, why are you like this? I like him! Can you let me..."
"Shut up, don't cause me any trouble!"
After throwing down this remark, the king left. However, he understood his daughter well and feared that she would rush after Li Rui, so he had to send a few people to follow the princess.
Being completely cut off from her veins was troublesome; wanting to do anything became a luxury. Just leaving this territory took Li Rui quite some time, and he had to admit that the palace wasn't too bad.
Just as Li Rui was about to exit the city gate, he was stopped by a commander.
"Where do you think you're going? You can't leave here today," the latter said.
This was quite awkward. In this situation, he had no money, and judging by the commander's demeanor, it seemed he intended to make things difficult for him. He had no choice but to comply!
Li Rui had to find an inn first. Moreover, he felt something strange; perhaps it was due to his previous battle experiences, but he sensed that someone was following him, and they were hiding very well.
"Could it be that girl Caier?" Li Rui chuckled bitterly.
It seemed that his words were overheard as there was suddenly some movement. This frustrated Li Rui; he quickly used his concealment technique and hurriedly left the area, taking many twists and turns in the streets just to shake off this girl.
Caier appeared unfazed. Although Li Rui had just been cautious of the city commander, his expression seemed helpless. If it was indeed arranged by Caier's side, that would be quite awkward.
"Perhaps I can climb over the wall; it should be around midnight..." the latter couldn't help but laugh.
Li Rui came up with a plan. Although he couldn't fly right now, climbing over the wall was just a simple action.
The latter estimated the time to be around the hour of the pig.
Li Rui hoped that the shift change board here was similar to the previous one!
As he approached the city, he managed to climb over the wall with a few quick movements. Although the process looked a bit awkward, he still reached his desired position.
During this time, Li Rui had a peculiar feeling, as if someone was behind him, but he didn't want to reveal himself.
The latter knew that in such situations, one must remain cautious. Observing the soldiers moving back and forth, it seemed they changed every ten breaths!
When those ten breaths passed and a figure disappeared, Li Rui immediately rushed forward, stealthily slipping through a window. During this time, no one was aware of his presence.
"You guys probably have no one guarding the city gate tonight!" He grinned upon seeing the person hanging on the shift change board.
Casually switching positions, Li Rui quickly climbed down and exited the city! Everything went very smoothly without any delays.
The next phase involved Li Rui searching for a secluded spot. Now that he had left this place, and that stealthy tracking had already vanished, he could do whatever he wanted.
There was only one official road out of the city, flanked by mountains. Strangely enough, there was an eerie formation on top of the peaks. Although it seemed somewhat suspicious, for Li Rui, this was child's play.
In an instant, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," he kicked off and ascended.
At first, everything seemed to go very smoothly. However, soon after, Li Rui felt slightly frustrated; it was eerily quiet around him—there wasn't even a single bird chirping!
Remember that he had been walking for a long time, and it was almost dawn.
A "splash" sound suddenly echoed from behind Li Rui.
However, he didn't mind; perhaps it was just some fish moving on their own.
After walking a few steps, the sun gradually rose. At this moment, he spotted a cave ahead that looked quite promising. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back!
He slowly turned his head to look behind him and nearly scared himself to death. What was going on with the spirit beasts around him? They had been following him closely, and none of them showed any hostility. It seemed as if he were the Mountain Deity of this mountain, with each one looking at him in a worshipful manner, not daring to make a sound.
Li Rui frowned slightly, wanting to disperse all the spirit beasts. But the problem was that nothing happened, and judging by their appearance, they didn’t seem to be under any control!
At the same time, a wolf's howl sounded from the right. To his surprise, it was a Thunder Wolf. One was fine, but in the blink of an eye, about twenty more appeared and surrounded Li Rui.
He swallowed hard; it seemed like he would have to fight today!
Before engaging in close combat, he needed to give them a bit of a scare. Just looking at this pack of wolves, they seemed ready to tear Li Rui apart.
