The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 216: Escaping the Beak of Death

The Xuan Bird, still filled with lingering anger, felt a sudden wave of drowsiness when the fragrance of Wind Breath Grass drifted to its side.

(Where’s Cao Duozhi)

Struggling to be alert, the Xuan Bird looked around.

The hurricane had ceased, leaving the pitiful Heir Yang barely alive, with a swollen and bruised face and his bones shattered all over, almost naked—his condition was as dreadful as could be.

However, only Heir Yang was found, with no sight of the detestable "Cao Duozhi."

(Damn it, did it escape again?)

Just as the Xuan Bird was about to rise and search for Xin Lin’s whereabouts,

before it could flap its wings, its vast body swayed and, with a loud crash, the Xuan Bird collapsed onto the ground.

A rustling noise followed.

Xin Lin poked her head out from the dense grass.

She sighed in relief and walked up to "Yang Shibing."

"Heir Yang, Heir Yang, thank you so much for being my ’meat shield’."

Xin Lin glanced at the miserable state of Heir Yang and then at what he held in his hand.

Heir Yang was still clutching a few Wind Breath Grass.

Needless to say, what knocked the Xuan Bird unconscious and out of combat was that handful of Wind Breath Grass.

Due to the Overlord Egg, Xin Lin was well aware that her feud with the Xuan Bird had intensified significantly.

It was now impossible for her to leave Qin Mountain easily; all she had left to use was the Wind Breath Grass.

The dried Wind Breath Grass, once ground into powder, serves as the best sleeping pills.

However, how could someone small like Xin Lin approach the Xuan Bird and leave unscathed?

After much deliberation, Xin Lin simply utilized Heir Yang.

Poor fellow thought to use Xin Lin as a human shield, but it backfired, and she used him instead.

The attack from a Level 5 Dark Beast, when enraged, is unimaginably powerful.

Heir Yang was now unconscious beyond any more unconsciousness.

Beside him, the Xuan Bird too had passed out.

"Congratulations life master, you’ve narrowly escaped from the jaws of death, Heaven-defying Value +20."

In her mind, the voice of the Heaven-defying Book sounded.

Due to this battle, many ancient trees in the Ancient Forest were destroyed.

Seizing the opportunity, Xin Lin searched around; she emptied the possessions and medicines from Heir Yang and others’ bodies, gaining nearly a thousand silver taels, some medicinal herbs, and animal hides, apparently all obtained by Heir Yang’s party during their hunting expedition into the mountain.

"How should I deal with this big fellow?"

Xin Lin looked at the Xuan Bird and felt somewhat troubled.

The dose of Wind Breath Grass she used was not light, enough to keep the Xuan Bird and Heir Yang unconscious until tomorrow.

To let it go would be risky; this creature was vengeful, and she was bound to have endless troubles with it in the future.

But to kill it seemed troublesome, especially since she and Aunt Bird had a misunderstanding.

"Leave it to me."

Inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, Gui Hu spoke.

Without waiting for Xin Lin to agree, a flash of Talisman Light from the Sealing Spirit Talisman and the Xuan Bird, comparable to a small mountain, was sucked into the talisman.

Xin Lin was startled.

How big was the Sealing Spirit Talisman for it to swallow the Xuan Bird directly?

Was the talisman sealing it, or was it controlling the talisman?

But Xin Lin had no time to inquire further, as it was getting late. After managing everything, she had to hurry back to Purple Cloud City to catch the early morning Zixiao Palace Exam.

However, she still lacked the True Qi of a Xuanwu Practitioner in her body, making her unsure whether she would be able to pass the Zixiao Palace Exam smoothly.

With some worries, Xin Lin hastily descended the mountain.

Shortly after Xin Lin left, another group of people swiftly entered Qin Mountain.
