Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(262) Danger Lurks on Every Side, You Leave First

When Fire Spirit's group showed up, Earth Spirit's sharp eyes spotted them.

"Master, look, Fire Spirit's good came." Earth Spirit wiped away the bloody water on his face, his tone had a trace of being pleasantly surprised.

And when Xiao Xu's eyes turned to look in the direction of his gaze, both eyes immediately turned cold.

"Master, we came to protect you guys to get out of this encirclement!" Fire Spirit cut out a bloody path among the crowd. With a turn of his body, he jumped to stand in front of master. Seeing master's whole body was full of bloodstains but there was no sign he was injured, he let out a breath of relief.

Xiao Xu took a step forward, his tone was as cold as black ice. "Didn't this king make it clear to you guys that no matter what happens, you must not turn back? You guys actually disobeyed this king's order."

"Master, the matter was urgent and we temporarily couldn't obey. After we break through this seige, this subordinate is willing to be hit and accept any punishment without complaint." Fire Spirit had an anxious expression, afraid that his master would chase him away.

Earth Spirit also advised. "Master, at this time please don't consider too much, let us first resolve the crisis in front of us then discuss it."

Xiao Xu also felt that there was no other alternative right now, so he asked. "Where is Qing-Yan?"

"The Little Consort right now is staying at a safe place, you don't need to be worried." Fire Spirit looked around and didn't see her figure among the crowd. He guessed she ought to have hidden somewhere.

Xiao Xu nodded and coldly ordered. "Form the seven star matrix."

"Yes."

Just now, the situation was in a stalemate. But because of Fire Spirit group's arrival, the situation became more one sided.

Before, the secret guards Earth Spirit brought were several times less than these groups, but they were still able to fight to a draw, being equally matched. Now that the manpower had increased, these people that launched the sneak attack couldn't hold on. They repeatedly retreated, and out of the more than one hundred black clothed people, now there weren't many left.

The black clothed person wearing a bamboo hat, seeing this turn of events wasn't good, immediately made a decision. "Retreat."

As a result, the remaining seven to eight black clothed people remaining protected him and quickly dodged to retreat into the forest. Borrowing the night sky and environment right now, they disappeared.

"Don't chase after the cornered enemy." Xiao Xu's tone wasn't loud, but when Fire Spirit's group heard this, their footsteps halted. They returned and gathered at his side.

Basically all the Xiao Lie Cavalry members had been wounded, some leaned on each for support. Earth Spirit was counting the people, while Fire Spirit and Wood Spirit went down to take care of the injured.

Chu Qing-Yan hugged her shoulders looking at everyone below doing things without being urged, she wanted to go down and join them.

And Xiao Xu seemed to sense something and lifted his head to look in her direction.

Separated by an endless curtain of rain, the two people's eyes met in midair.

Meeting that ice like pair of eyes, Chu Qing-Yan forced herself to smile, because she knew Big Block of Ice was currently dissatisfied with her disobeying his orders and returning secretly.

When he met her large pair of bright eyes that knew to be ashamed, the reproach in his heart seemed to be scattered by the rushing rain water. What remained was only tenderness towards her.
