Princess of the Past and Present

Chapter 28: Encountering a Demon · Rescue

When the sixth prince came back the next day, he was holding a white rabbit in his hand. He stroked the fur of the rabbit and said to Mo Shuang who was practicing calligraphy: "How does this rabbit compare to you?"

Mo Shuang pursed her lips and said nothing, Zhe Kan put the rabbit beside him and compared, "I think this rabbit is very similar to you."

"Do you want me to give you the rabbit?"

Mo Shuang shook her head, "A gentleman does not take what others like."

The sixth prince smiled, but he was still unyielding, "What's the matter, I don't like this rabbit so I gave it away." Holding Mo Shuang's arm, he said with a wicked smile: "Come on, come here and give it to me. One bite, I will give this rabbit to you."

Mo Shuang was taught by her elder brother in advance not to offend the sixth prince, so she didn't resist.Zhe Kan put a saliva mark on his side face, and stuffed the rabbit into his arms, "I will do what I say, this rabbit is yours."

Putting away the memories, Zhe Kan glanced at Mo Shuang, with a meaningful smile on his lips, "Back then, I thought you were very likable at first glance."

Mo Shuang said calmly, "It's just the grandfather showing love."

Zhe Kan took a deep breath, "If this king wins the crown prince, maybe you won't have to suffer in the prince's mansion."

"What are you talking about, so happy?" A voice came from the side.

Mu Jin walked over with his hands in his sleeves, and Zhe Kan laughed dryly, "I caught a rabbit alive this morning, and thinking that the Crown Princess likes rabbits, I wanted to be a favor and give this rabbit to him."

Mu Jin took a look at Mo Shuang, and said to Zhe Kan: "If he likes it, I will catch him. This one of the emperor's brother is better given to the emperor's wives in your house."

Zhe Kan said disdainfully: "Catching a rabbit alive is a technical task. With His Royal Highness' ability, I am afraid it will not be easy."

"I don't need to worry about this matter, brother."

"It's the king who talks too much, don't blame your Highness."

"I still have something to do, so I'm sorry." Mu Jin took Mo Shuang's hand and walked back.

After walking a few steps, Zhe Kan said: "Actually, after that, I went to the mansion to look for you, but the people in the mansion said that you went to the Taoist temple, and I don't know when you will come back."

Mu Jin listened very harshly, and held Mo Shuang's hand tightly, and Mo Shuang stroked the back of his hand with her fingertips.

Today, we are going to hunt at the foot of the opposite mountain. A group of people ride horses there. After arriving, we will rest and have a lunch in advance before we start hunting.

Before setting off, Mu Jin said to Mo Shuang: "You wait here, I will definitely capture a rabbit alive for you."

Mo Shuang said warmly, "Be careful on the road."

Mu Jin turned around and got on his horse.

When hunting today, Mu Jin deliberately avoided Zhe Kan and went to a remote place.Compared with yesterday, today's harvest is not bad. Not long after we set off, we shot a sika deer.

Then he shot two pheasants in succession, both of which were carried by the accompanying guards.The mood should have been good, but there was no sign of the rabbit, and Mu Jin was still frowning.

Wanting to go further, the guard beside him persuaded: "Your Highness, the road ahead is not easy, so let's go back home."

Not catching the rabbit alive, Mu Jin was still unwilling to go back, "Look ahead."

The two accompanying guards went into the forest with him. The forest is relatively dense, and the horse can only walk slowly in the forest.

Most of the trees in the forest have lost their leaves, and occasionally a leaf between the branches is also withered and yellow, and it will fall lightly when a gust of wind blows by.Migratory birds fly south in late autumn, and the sound of many birds is missing in this area, making it very quiet.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes, and Mu Jin's heart skipped a beat. Following the sound, a little white was faintly exposed between the gaps in the bushes.

It's a rabbit.

Afraid of scaring it away, Mu Jin turned around and told the guards behind him, "Wait here."

Mu Jin got off his horse and walked lightly towards the bushes in front of him. Before he got close, the rabbit hiding behind the bushes jumped out with long legs.

Seeing the rabbit running away, Mu Jin quickened his pace and chased after it.Seeing that he was about to catch up, Mu Jin leapt forward and rushed over, clearly hitting the rabbit, but there was nothing in his arms.When I looked up, the rabbit was jumping like a cotton ball in front of me.

Mu Jin got up, ignoring the dead leaves on his clothes, and chased after him, walking further and further.Suddenly, the rabbit in sight jumped high and disappeared without a trace.Mu Jin was startled, and hurried over, as if approaching a transparent barrier, and disappeared together with him.

Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the air, Mu Jin pulled out the sword from his waist, looked up at the sky, "Who is it?!"

A gust of black wind blew, and there was a man in a black robe in front of him. His eyes were very sharp, he opened his mouth, and stuck out a long tongue, which was clearly the tongue of a snake!

Mu Jin was startled for a moment before he realized that it was a monster!

"What do you want to bring me here?"

"Of course I want your life!"

"I have no grievances with you, why did you take my life?"

The snake demon stuck out its long tongue and said with a grinning grin: "You have no vengeance with me, but..." While speaking, he drew a snake-like sword from his cuff, "You have something in your body that I want!"

The snake demon attacked with a sword, but Mu Jin dodged to dodge.

However, he has no mana, and it is very difficult to deal with the snake demon.The figure of the snake demon was unpredictable, and he was almost swallowed by the bloody mouth of the snake demon.

Not long after, a bright light flashed in the sky, like a shooting star, someone broke the barrier set by the snake demon from above, and Mu Jin and the snake demon appeared in the silent forest.

A white figure fluttered his clothes and landed lightly, standing still in front of Mu Jin.

This person is Mo Shuang.

"Why did you come?" Mu Jin asked.

"I noticed that there was a monster in the vicinity, so I rushed over."

The barrier was broken, and the snake demon squinted at the man in white who suddenly appeared, "Who are you?"

"You don't have to know."

The snake demon stuck out its long tongue, and said in a dark and deep voice: "I never like to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you are sensible, you should hide as far away as possible."

"If I want to leave, I will take him with me."

"Don't think about it!"

After saying that, the snake demon attacked with its tongue out, and Mo Shuang raised his sword to meet him.The figures, one black and one white, started fighting, and Mu Jin raised his sword and went up to help, but he had no mana and couldn't get close at all.

After wrapping around for half a stick of incense, the snake demon took shape, a big snake with a length of two feet, with two sharp fangs exposed, it was extremely ferocious.

Mu Jinfei went over to help, Mo Shuang said: "Don't come over!"

However, it was too late, the big snake swished past, rolled up Mu Jin and ran to the other side of the forest.Mu Jin was wrapped tightly by his body and couldn't move. Mo Shuang flipped and blocked the path of the snake demon.

The snake demon and Mo Shuang fought again, and when he twisted his body, Mu Jin was also thrown around.Mu Jin stretched his arms, trying to squeeze it away, but the snake demon was so tightly rolled that he couldn't squeeze it away with his strength.

At this time, Mo Shuang kicked the snake demon on the head, and the snake demon let out a roar and relaxed a little.Taking advantage of this moment, Mu Jin stabbed || the sword in his hand hard into the body of the snake monster in front of his chest.

There was another earth-shattering roar, the snake monster opened its bloody mouth and twisted its body wildly, Mu Jin vigorously swung the stabbed sword, the blade cut across the snake sideways, and the snake monster let out a deafening roar.

Mo Shuang flew up, recited the magic formula in his mouth, formed a magic seal with both hands, pushed forward, and the magic seal formed hit the chaotic snake demon.

The snake demon was firmly trapped by Fayin and struggled harder, Mu Jin was thrown out heavily.Seeing that Mu Jin was about to be thrown into a tree, Mo Shuang flew over in time to catch him.

The two landed safely, and the snake demon turned into a small snake under the seal, and fled in a panic.

"Are you hurt?" The two asked at the same time, looking at each other with a smile on their faces.

Mu Jin said: "This is the third time you rescued me from the goblin. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would have passed away."

"Why are you being so polite to me, Your Highness? I'm following you, isn't your duty to protect His Highness?"

Mu Jin's face froze, and he did say this sentence the night before departure, but it was just casual talk at that time, not serious.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Mo Shuang said.

Mo Shuang turned to leave, but Mu Jin took his hand, "I planned to capture a rabbit alive, but I'm afraid I can't give it to you now."

"Actually, I don't like rabbits." Mo Shuang chuckled, "Most of the words of the sixth prince are made up now, and it's not like you don't know."

"Then, you and him knew each other before?" Zhe Kan's words this morning made Mu Jin remember to this day.

"Just saw it once or twice."

Mu Jin frowned, "Then you and him..."

"What does your Highness want to ask?"

Mu Jin hurriedly averted his gaze, "It's nothing."

Mo Shuang turned around and led him forward, "The minister's horse is just ahead."

Mu Jin let him lead him forward, looked at his back, and felt more and more that this person was occupying his heart bit by bit.

When we got to the place where the horse stopped, there was no sign of the horse anymore.

"Maybe I was frightened just now, so I ran away." Mo Shuang said, just now he dismounted in an emergency and did not tie the horse to a tree.

Dusk came early in late autumn, and it was already sunset. Mu Jin looked at the setting sun in the sky, "It's better to go back on foot."

Mo Shuang said softly, "Okay."

The two walked side by side in the dense forest. In late autumn, many dead branches and leaves on the ground creaked as they walked on them.Occasionally, there are one or two dead leaves falling with the autumn wind, like flying butterflies.

"Why are monsters attacking this palace again and again?" Mu Jin asked, and he also realized that monsters like to attack him.

"Because Your Highness || has something in his body that they all want."

"what?"

"A treasure, if a demon obtains it, it can ascend to immortality, or enhance its power."

Mu Jin frowned, "What is so powerful?"

"According to what the vixen said last time, Your Highness || has a half-formed elixir in his body."

"Elixir?" Mu Jin couldn't believe it, "How could there be an elixir in my body?"

"There is an elixir in the body of a mortal, it must be because he has practiced the way of immortality."

"I have never practiced immortality before."

Mo Shuang paused, her eyes darkened, "I am also very curious about this."

It takes at least several decades for a mortal to practice immortality before the elixir will slowly form. When the elixir is formed, it will be the day when he will ascend to immortality.At least a hundred years, as many as thousands of years.
