Chapter 1252: Is a Demonic Beast Chasing Them?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Everyone, form a formation; stand in a circle to protect the Master and Young Master Nie.”

He tried his best to sound calm as he ordered all the guards.

Soon, all the guards formed a semicircle around the young lady and the young master. They retreated as they fought the demonic beast attacking them. However, the demonic beast was too powerful. They were no match for it.

“Chief Jin, stop fighting! Retreat!”

The young master did not want to struggle in vain here. After saying this to Chief Jin, he turned around and fled with his guards.

He decided it was best to separate from this woman and never meet her again along the way.

This way, even if the elders questioned him when he returned home, he could say that he had panicked and fled with everyone because they were attacked by a demonic beast.

Sui Sui would not be able to find any grounds for criticism even if she wanted to—after all, they had merely separated because of the demonic beast’s attack.

Scorching Rock Peak was a big place. It was normal that they could not regroup after separating.

“Nie!” The young lady stomped her feet in anger when she saw the young master run away.

However, she had no choice but to run. She was facing a demonic beast stronger than her and was not prepared to fight. What else could she do but run? Wait to become a snack for the demonic beast?

“Run! Everyone, run quickly!” she shouted at the guards and ran towards the young master.

She was not reminding the guards out of kindness; she knew she would not be able to do anything without them.

The guard leader also ordered, “Retreat!”

Hence, the group, battered and bruised, fled. The demonic beast chased them for a long time, eventually departing with disappointment when it could no longer catch up to them.

An Jiuyue held a roasted beast leg in her hand, brought it to her mouth, and glanced at a few people nearby.

They were in such a sorry state that the original colors of their clothes were not discernible. Bloodstains were on their faces, and they were limping when they ran towards them.

“Is a… demonic beast chasing them?” She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qian Jiyun.

Qian Jiyun did not have a good impression of those people from Yueming Empire. He patted her head and gestured gently. “Eat first. Don’t worry about them.”

They did not have to be concerned about what those people were doing. They should only care about themselves. They would be fine as long as the demonic beast chasing them did not chase or hinder them.

“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded.

Of course, she had to eat. They still had to look for Warrior Wolves after breakfast.

They had already planned to gather more Warrior Wolf Crystals to feed the little guy in the space.

“I thought I wouldn’t be seeing those people for a while. I didn’t expect…” she muttered softly as she took a bite of the roasted meat.

“Jiyun, let’s eat and leave quickly. Let’s not bump into that unreasonable person again. I don’t want to see that young lady again. She’s too stupid.”

“Okay,” Qian Jiyun replied.

He picked up a fruit, peeled it, cut it into pieces, and handed it to An Jiuyue on a plate.

“Let’s eat first. We’ll set off after we’re done. I can hear Warrior Wolves howling from the west..”
