Lian Youyou's cold gaze was like a world covered in ice and frost, so cold that it chilled people to the bone.
"Your Highness, the Goddess! It is my fault that I, Yuchi Feng, have not done my job well!" Yuchi Feng lowered his head and stood respectfully.
"It has nothing to do with General Yuchi!" Duanmu Qingchen immediately dismounted. "Some people are reluctant to part with their money and incite others to fight against General Yuchi and his men and stay in Chengzhou! There is also a charlatan who spreads rumors that Taotie is the Nian beast and can be driven away with firecrackers!"
"Who?!" Lian's deep voice was like a deep thunder, shocking and frightening the people so much that they knelt on the ground, trembling and afraid to look up. They felt the anger of the gods, and couldn't believe that they had actually seen the gods.
Duanmu Qingchen looked coldly at the few wealthy people and Taoist Mao in front of the team.
Taoist Master Mao looked at Lian Youyou with a cold gaze in shock, and suddenly shouted: "Monster! Monster! I understand! You released the monster! I will take you in, this evildoer!"
Taoist Mao shook off the soldiers, and his expression became more heroic.
When the people heard Taoist Mao shouting "monster", they suddenly felt relieved. It turned out to be a witch. No wonder she could fly!
"Monster! Why don't you surrender!" Taoist Mao shook off the dust, and immediately, sand and rocks flew everywhere. It really showed some Taoist skills!
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared above his head getting closer and closer. Lian Youyou was suspended above the crowd, watching coldly.
The black shadow was getting closer and closer. When Taoist Mao raised his head and shouted to the sky, "Ah - hurry up and obey the order -" the black shadow swooped down and swallowed Taoist Mao in one gulp!
"ah---"
Immediately, screams rang out and the people kneeling on the ground all crawled around in panic. The scene suddenly became chaotic with screams heard one after another.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Yuchi Feng and the soldiers immediately protected Duanmu Qingchen, while the others looked in amazement at the flying beast that fell to the ground like a small hill.
Duanmu Qingchen immediately looked at Lian Youyou, but saw that she was still standing there indifferently, with a cold expression that showed no sympathy for Taoist Mao who had been eaten.
Her unusually indifferent expression made Duanmu Qingchen feel pity in his heart. He liked the smile on her face, but at this moment, she was so cold, so cold that he wanted to hug her. Even if the fire burned him to death, he wanted to use his own burning flame to warm her and make her face show a warm smile again.
The flying beast did not stop after eating Taoist Master Mao. It stood still and began to twist. A terrifying scene happened! Even Duanmu Qingchen was stunned!
I saw the flying beast split into pieces!
It was like an earthworm, and an identical flying beast split out from behind him, at such a fast speed that it was astonishing!
The two flying beasts immediately pounced towards the crowd without any hesitation!
"Ah——" Immediately, the crowd started screaming in chaos.
At this moment, Lian Youyou, who had been suspended in the air, suddenly threw out the flying belt, and the two flying beasts that rushed towards the crowd were tightly entangled together. They struggled in Lian Youyou's hands and roared at the crowd unwillingly: "Roar——"
“Did you see it?” Lian Youyou’s cold voice sounded again, echoing in the sky, making sure that everyone here could hear her words clearly, “This is a gluttonous beast! For every person it eats, there is one more beast! We asked you to withdraw from Chengzhou to save your lives and to prevent their numbers from increasing! They can’t even tell whether they are gods or demons, I think you should just feed them!”
"Goddess, please spare our lives--" The panicked people knelt down in fear, crying and bowing to Lian Youyou.
Lian Youyou still looked down at them coldly: "This God will give you half an hour to leave Chengzhou. After half an hour, if there are still people left in Chengzhou, this God will kill them without mercy!"
When Lian Youyou said these four words so ruthlessly, Yuchi Feng, who had killed countless enemies, felt a chill on the back of his neck. Duanmu Qingchen felt even colder in his heart, because this was a Lian Youyou he had never seen before, a ruthless and cruel god.
"This God will not let you increase the number of ferocious beasts and bring disaster to the people of the next city!" When Lian Youyou shouted sternly, everyone immediately stood up and crawled, running all the way. This time, all the property, belongings, and even children were left on the spot. The ground was littered with shoes, broken clothes, purses, hairpins and children.
"Ah--" The ferocious beast watched so much delicious meat running away, farther and farther away, howling unwillingly, as if notifying the beast army behind it that there was meat here, and a lot of meat!
"Stop making so much noise!" Lian Youyou threw a punch and flattened the beast's head in front of Duanmu Qingchen and Yuchi Feng!
The Yuchi army, who saw Lian Youyou for the first time, was completely stunned. This was the gluttonous beast that made their general so nervous! This was the power of God!
After Lian Youyou tore the other two into pieces, she took a deep breath and slowly landed on the ground.
"Youyou!" Duanmu Qingchen rushed over at once, hugged Lian Youyou tightly after she staggered, as if he was trying to use his body temperature to warm a cold corpse and restore her to human temperature.
Lian Youyou slowly came back to her senses and looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?"
"Warm you up." These three words were spoken with a childlike stubbornness. "You're too cold like that. I want to warm you up."
Lian Youyou blinked, smiled, and rolled her eyes at him: "Don't take advantage of me. How can you hug this goddess casually?"
Hearing Lian Youyou's joking tone, Duanmu Qingchen also felt relieved. He immediately let go of Lian Youyou and gently squeezed her arm: "I feel relieved to see you like this."
Lian Youyou frowned and lowered her voice: "Why, Duanmu Jinhong doesn't want to do it anymore?"
Duanmu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately put away all his improper expressions and secretly glanced around. Fortunately, everyone was still amazed at Lian Youyou's magical power.
Lian Youyou immediately walked towards Yuchi Feng: "The flying beast troops of the beast army have been intercepted for the time being. Now Songcheng will have the power to intercept the beasts. We will try to finish off the last group of beasts in Songcheng. You and General Yuchi must be on guard here at all times."
"Yes! Lady Goddess!" Yuchi Feng had only a strong admiration for Lian Youyou at this moment. Her decisiveness in killing was exactly what a general should have. They didn't dare to say the words "kill without mercy", but she said it.
Lian Youyou finished speaking and looked at Duanmu Qingchen, her eyes showing more concern for her best friend: "Take good care of yourself and bring more garlic. Don't be so polite at this time. It's easier to get eaten if you smell a little bit smelly."
Duanmu Qingchen looked at Lian Youyou with his heart beating faster. She actually cared about him! This was the first time she had given him such earnest advice! No, he loved her so much that he felt like he was about to suffocate for her! He was right to give up his status as the crown prince, because if he was the crown prince, he would not be able to pursue Lian Youyou. Once he married the queen, he would not be qualified to stand in front of Lian Youyou and say give him a chance. (To be continued)
