Chapter 369 - 222: Journey Outside the Palace (Part 3)
“This is my golden talisman. If you ever face a life-threatening crisis, activate it!”
Li Jizhou held it excitedly in both hands.
“May Father Emperor live as long as the heavens, with boundless longevity. Your son’s gratitude is immeasurable. Thank you for your immense grace, Father Emperor!” His greatest hope in bidding farewell to Li Yuan was actually to obtain a protector.
However, he couldn’t ask for it directly and could only hope Li Yuan would offer it voluntarily.
He never expected to receive such a tremendous surprise from the other party.
This golden talisman holds immense significance; within the Jiuli Dynasty, it means life and death are of no concern.
Satisfied, he departed without pause. Under the cover of night, Li Jizhou quietly left the palace with four half-demon maids.
The Crown Prince, Ninth Prince, and the hidden Dragon Aspect each had their own plots; naturally, they did not wish for their tracks to be discovered during the tour.
When bidding farewell to the Saint Emperor, he intentionally brought all the items gifted by the three parties with him, so that Li Yuan could inspect them.
If any of those items had tracking methods or marks, Li Yuan would sense it with his Harmonization Dao Divine Venerable’s Primordial Spirit.
Anyone daring to tamper with a prince would be provoking Li Yuan’s wrath.
“Cang Huang.” Upon exiting the palace gate, Li Jizhou called out softly.
Behind him, a small girl in a bright yellow princess dress with golden hair rushed forward, nearly bumping into Hong Luan.
“The little one’s strength has grown again!” Hong Luan wasn’t angered, merely reached out to play with the two ponytail-like braids at the back of Cang Huang’s head.
“Oh, oh, oh, sorry Sister Hong, I didn’t mean it!” Cang Huang stuck out her little tongue.
Li Jizhou also reached out with a smile to stroke the soft yellow hair of Cang Huang.
“Get in!”
Cang Huang’s exact species was unknown, but ever since the Jin family bought her back, within less than three years, her strength began to surge.
At least thirty years have passed since, but her body grew slowly, appearing no more than 1.5 meters tall, yet she possessed strength that even the Tier Four late-stage Demon King Hong Luan found difficult to handle.
“Get in!” Li Jizhou playfully wiggled his finger at the storage ring on his hand.
Over the past year, he had meticulously divided the storage ring into several small spaces. One was arranged with a Spirit-Infused Array, maintained with a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, able to sustain the Spiritual Qi level of a Tier Three Spirit Vein, providing a year’s survival for living creatures.
“Master, please, I just want to play with you!” Cang Huang looked at Li Jizhou with a hint of grievance.
“I’ll let you out when no one’s around, now get in.” Li Jizhou frowned slightly.
Cang Huang quickly covered her mouth. Although aggrieved, she swiftly flew inside.
The origins of the four maids were unknown to others, but their presence significantly increased Li Jizhou’s recognizability, so naturally they needed to be concealed.
After handling Cang Huang, Li Jizhou turned to Qing Luan, wearing tight-fitting black clothes: “You should remain hidden in the surroundings!”
“Yes, Young Master.” Although a cute pink canine nose was hidden beneath Qing Luan’s mask, she was inherently aloof, unattainable.
Her form instantly vanished from sight.
Qing Luan’s Ancestral Source was the Shadowless White Tiger, with her bloodline’s Divine Abilities focusing on concealment, making her hard to detect.
Li Jizhou then glanced at Hong Luan.
Seeing her large red cape tightly concealing her tail, he said nothing.
As for the last maid, Sable, she absolutely needed to stay by his side.
She was the guarantee of his safety.
He glanced back at the tall half-demon practically glued to his back, her two purple ears atop her head constantly pivoting every which way.
Sable’s Ancestral Source was the Wind-Ear Mink, and the sensitivity of her ears rivaled the Primordial Spirit of Divinity Transformation.
“Young Master, there is currently no danger!”
