Chapter 377
“It’s actually my third brother?!” Princess Xianglan showed an expression of disbelief on her face, “Impossible! Impossible! My third brother dotes on me the most, he…”
Princess Xianglan fell silent at this point. Even if she didn't want to admit it in her heart, her curse was not false. Moreover, she was living in a time when the imperial power was about to be replaced. She didn't dare to imagine what her brothers who had the power to inherit the throne would do.
"Then how did you escape? Where have you been all these years? Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for you to practice as a rabbit rat. Moreover, if you want to transform into a human form, you must at least survive the transformation tribulation. How did a rabbit rat survive the tribulation?"
Mu Zhi's words stunned Princess Xianglan. She was just immersed in the surprise of meeting Xiu Xiu and the disbelief of knowing that the third prince had cursed her. She didn't even think about why her pet could transform into a human form.
Seeing Princess Xianglan frowning at him, Xiu Xiu's body trembled slightly.
"Sniff, is there something you can't tell me? Are you lying to me? Or are you an undercover agent placed by someone else beside me?"
“Master…Xiu Xiu didn’t lie to you. Xiu Xiu wasn’t an undercover agent placed by your side. It’s just…” Xiu Xiu was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed, as if he had made a decision. “Master! Actually, Xiu Xiu was placed by your side for a purpose. And the one who placed Xiu Xiu by your side was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
"Brother Prince?"
"Yes, Xiu Xiu is at the level of the Human Spiritual Transformation Realm, which is what you call the fourth-order demon beast. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince originally sent Xiu Xiu to protect his master, who had not even reached the Qi Gathering Realm at that time. But when the curse attacked the master that day, Xiu Xiu had no time to react and was suppressed by the blood released from the curse. He was unable to move and had no way to help the master block the curse. Otherwise, the master would not have been hit by the curse."
"Then how did you transform into a human form?"
"After the new emperor held a funeral for his master, Sniffus went to the Crown Prince to apologize and told him everything. The Crown Prince did not blame Sniffus, he... he just sighed, and then gave Sniffus a pill. After Sniffus took the pill, he turned back into his previous human form. The Crown Prince has been asking Sniffus to find his master in the new country all these years, and Sniffus has been looking for his master all these years, but the territory of the new country is so large that Sniffus has not been able to find any trace of his master for all these years. This time, Sniffus followed the strange snow that was heading towards the imperial city, and only then did he smell the scent of his master in the distance."
"Transformation Pill?" Mu Zhi looked at the Xiu Xiu in front of her. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiu Xiu from Princess Xiang Lan's hand. The spiritual energy passed through Xiu Xiu's body. "It is indeed the power of the Transformation Pill. The organs in its body have not changed yet, and it does not have the power of the baptism of thunder tribulation. In addition, the medicinal power of the Transformation Pill is still residual. So this rabbit rat should have some defects in its body after transforming."
Xiu Xiu lay obediently in Mu Zhi's palm. It could feel Mu Zhi's extremely powerful cultivation and blood suppression. As a bottom creature in the monster food chain, it could only lie obediently in Mu Zhi's hand.
"Is there a flaw? When I caught it just now, its body was no different from ours."
"I... I actually... I used a lot of tricks to grow my hair back, so when you grabbed my hair just now, I didn't dare to struggle, because once the hair is pulled out... it will be difficult to grow again..."
Hearing what Xiu Xiu said, Zeng Wenyu was completely confused: "What kind of defect is this?"
"Ahem...brother, among monsters, unless they are naturally hairless and shiny, having a patch of hairless body is considered very ugly. Even if a monster originally saw a handsome man or a beautiful woman, as long as a patch of hair fell off and would not grow again...then they would be labeled as ugly."
"Still like this? But the way he transforms into a human form is also..."
Zeng Wenyu didn't finish his words, but Mu Zhi and Princess Xianglan knew what Zeng Wenyu wanted to say. After all, they had seen Xiu Xiu's human form just now. It must be said that Xiu Xiu was really a rabbit mouse transformed into a human form, with a pointed mouth and small eyes. If you saw him for the first time, you would definitely think that he was not a good person.
After confirming that Xiu Xiu had indeed used the transformation pill to transform into a human form, everyone began to believe some of what it said. However, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi still remained skeptical that the Third Prince was the mastermind behind this incident. Princess Xianglan also didn't quite believe it. After all, this was a serious matter, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe one-sided words.
“Sniff, since you said you followed the snow all the way here, do you know where the snow started?”
"Master, this snow came from the West Wind City in the west, but when I saw the heavy snow, the places further west were already covered by the heavy snow. I don't know exactly where it started..."
"It seems that the people of the new country further west have suffered. I hope that father can deal with this monk as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the west is in chaos, the war may start again." Princess Xianglan looked to the west for a few seconds and finally made up her mind. "Sister Mu Zhi and Brother Wen Yu, let's set off now. I want to go to the imperial city early and meet Brother Crown Prince first."
"Well, under the current circumstances, it is relatively easy for you to meet the crown prince. When the new emperor fights the monk above, the princes will definitely come out to maintain order. The crown prince will most likely be released from his confinement in the city... Wait a minute," Zeng Wenyu remembered something, "What if this disaster was caused by a certain prince? If he just wants to lure the crown prince out, and then take advantage of this chaos..."
"That's right! Isn't this going to put the Crown Prince in danger? Then we have to rush to the Imperial City as soon as possible!"
Princess Xianglan was very anxious. She looked at Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi pleadingly. Seeing Princess Xianglan's pleading eyes, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi softened their hearts. Mu Zhi pulled Princess Xianglan back to the tent to prepare things. Before leaving, she threw the Sniff to Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu took the Sniff and asked Xiaoxue and Xiaoli in the hood to stare at it. He also returned to his tent to pack up and prepare to set off.
Xiu Xiu was very surprised by Zeng Wenyu's behavior of putting himself in the hood, but as soon as he entered the hood, he found that there were two big guys next to him looking at him, and there was another one sleeping next to him. According to his feeling, he could not beat any of these three, and they had a natural blood suppression on him. The three were all good hunters. He stood between Xiaoxue, Xiaoli and the sleeping Xiaomeng, shivering.
