"No matter whether you believe it or not, the fact is as I said. If you still don't believe it, I have no way to prove it."
Dugu Bo's face also turned gloomy. A mere Rank 39 Soul Master actually dared to come question him.
If not for those two Titled Douluo hidden in the dark, he would have never cared about Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's status.
So-called royal identity—in the face of absolute strength—was nothing but a joke.
"Hmph, since that's the case, then there's nothing left for us to talk about!"
A cold killing intent flashed across Xue Qinghe's eyes. She was ready to command the two Titled Douluo to appear and kill Dugu Bo on the spot.
Right at this moment, a childish voice suddenly rang out:
"Wait, Your Highness the Crown Prince, there's no need to be so anxious. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding here."
A handsome boy who looked only eleven or twelve years old walked out from the Sunset Forest entrance.
Under the night sky, Xue Qinghe faintly felt that the way the boy looked at her was familiar somehow.
But she was certain she had never seen this youth before.
This odd feeling made Xue Qinghe feel strange, but she didn't think too deeply about it and simply asked coldly:
"Who are you? Since when is it your place to meddle in this prince's business?"
Who else could this boy be but Ling Yun transformed into Yu Tianheng?
He walked forward slowly, wearing a gentle smile, cupping his fists respectfully:
"A junior of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianheng greets Your Highness."
"Oh? So you're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? But so what? Could it be your clan wants to speak up for Poison Douluo?"
Xue Qinghe's face remained cold, eyes filled with disdain.
At this moment she had no patience left. The loss of the Heavenly Snow Mink made her furious.
"Not at all, not at all. As for the pet Your Highness lost, perhaps I know where it is."
Ling Yun still smiled faintly, looking confident.
"Really? You're not lying to me?" Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed sharply, doubting him.
"If you dare lie to me, believe it or not, I'll kill you right here."
Dugu Bo immediately grabbed Ling Yun's collar, glaring at him, whispering harshly:
"You brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Didn't I tell you to hide inside the manor with Yan'er? What are you doing meddling here? Do you have a death wish?! If we start fighting, I'll still have to protect you like dead weight!"
Ling Yun tugged the corner of his mouth, expression unconcerned.
"Poison Douluo senior, don't worry. His Highness is not an unreasonable person.
He only lost a beloved pet, so he is anxious. Perhaps I know where his pet is."
Xue Qinghe took a step forward, grabbed Ling Yun by the collar and questioned sharply:
"Speak! If you dare lie to me, not only you—even your entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—I won't spare!"
Meeting her gaze, Ling Yun saw how anxious she truly was.
He didn't expect that by being missing for one day she would become like this. It seems his place in this girl's heart was not ordinary at all.
Primarily because he was Bibi Dong's first "gift" to Qian Renxue—meaning extraordinary.
Ling Yun paused, as if recalling carefully.
"In truth, Poison Douluo senior, after receiving that pet, gifted it to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
This afternoon, when Yan'er and I went out shopping, it was always with us."
Ling Yun's expression was extremely serious, showing no sign he was making anything up.
"Later, Yan'er went to relieve herself, and handed the pet to me.
At that time, I seemed to hear your pet speak human words, asking me to let it go, saying it wanted to find some cute and charming young lady."
Before he finished, Dugu Bo angrily blocked in front of Ling Yun and scolded:
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? It's just a two-thousand-year soul beast, how could it speak? Say one more ridiculous word and I'll beat you!"
After scolding Ling Yun, he turned to Xue Qinghe seriously:
"Your Highness, this brat is talking nonsense, don't mind him. I'll—"
"Shut up and stand aside. Little brat, continue."
Xue Qinghe's tone suddenly became urgent.
Clearly, she already half-believed Ling Yun's words. Ling Yun quietly exhaled and continued spinning his tale.
"At first I thought I misheard. But in truth, your pet can speak. However, I did not release it, since it belonged to Yan'er at that time.
Later, while we were trying on clothes, it took the chance to escape. I think it must have gone to look for that beautiful lady."
Ling Yun cupped his fist toward Xue Qinghe respectfully.
"Since that pet is yours, the lady it looks for must be someone close to you.
As long as Your Highness questions those around you, you should find where the pet went."
Xue Qinghe frowned, slowly releasing his collar.
Although still doubtful, she believed Ling Yun somewhat.
Of course she knew the "young lady" the Heavenly Snow Mink mentioned was herself, so it was very possible it had returned to the residence.
She nodded heavily, staring at Ling Yun.
"Fine, I'll trust you this once. If I still can't find it, be prepared for me to turn your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan upside down!"
Throwing the threat, Xue Qinghe ordered the return to the palace. Watching the carriages depart—
Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng collapsed to the ground trembling, drenched in sweat.
Even Dugu Bo, upon feeling the auras of the two Titled Douluo withdraw, was soaked in sweat, saying seriously:
"You brat from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I owe you a favor today."
Meanwhile, Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng also shot grateful looks at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun nodded slightly. But he didn't have time to chat.
"Since it's resolved, this junior will take his leave, lest my family worry."
He walked to the hired carriage and told the driver, "Return to the city."
Ten li away, Ling Yun left money inside the carriage.
He then slipped out secretly, transformed into a Bloodthirsty Griffon, and flew toward Heaven Dou City.
With his speed, he quickly overtook Qian Renxue's carriage.
Traveling over a hundred li took less than ten minutes. He landed a kilometer outside Heaven Dou City under the night sky, transformed into Heavenly Snow Mink form, and darted toward the city.
By the time Qian Renxue returned to the mansion, Ling Yun had already been lying on her bed for nearly half an hour…
