Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1798 - 812: Three Guards
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
The shadow behind the screen did not turn back, but emitted a calm, lazy voice.
"Lord Bai, what do you think of the Green Demon Envoy’s ability?"
The question was about ability, not strength.
So Bai Juetian paused slightly to contemplate before replying respectfully.
"Composed, calm, and reliable in actions, steady in crisis, with the demeanor of a great general."
"Your evaluation of him is rather positive."
Bai Juetian bowed his head.
"In the clash between two armies, one may strategically despise the enemy army, but must not truly underestimate them. Conducting a comprehensive examination and judgment of the enemy army is key to every victory. Thus, although I disdain the Green Demon Envoy, I acknowledge his ability. He has done everything that an envoy should do, even if he did not kneel and bow at the end, provoking our anger. What he represents is merely the intent of the Demon Emperor of the Demon Capital, unrelated to his own ability."
"Objectivity and loyalty are the important qualities I have always admired in you. Let me say it again, Lord Bai, welcome back under my banner."
The man behind the screen finally turned around to face Bai Juetian.
Even through the screen, Bai Juetian could still feel the supreme aura of the Second Prince, who looked down upon the world.
The esteemed Second Prince was born to inherit the throne, save Great Xia, and save the people of the world! The man whose mind is set on the life and death of all beings has such a charisma!
"The esteemed Second Prince praises too much. Being able to serve the Second Prince, contribute to the future of Great Xia’s state governance, and make an effort for the people of the world is, in fact, the highest honor of my life, Bai Juetian!"
Bai Juetian lowered his head, pressing it to the ground, showing a posture of submission.
"There is one more question."
"Please speak, esteemed Second Prince."
"Is the Noble Princess Consort You still deep in the Cold Palace?"
"...Yes."
The man behind the screen turned around again, his back facing Bai Juetian, and sighed.
"Father, how muddleheaded."
The long sigh seemed to contain complex emotions.
After a pause, the man behind the screen spoke.
"Lord Bai has worked hard today, please go back and rest first. If there is something to entrust, I will contact separately."
"Yes!"
Bai Juetian rose, saluted, and withdrew.
Crunch.
As the door closed, the light in the room gradually dimmed.
The man behind the screen glanced out the window, seemingly thinking of someone, murmuring softly.
"Won’t... come in person?"
Gathering his emotions, the Second Prince slowly extended the prepared paper crane on the table.
The paper crane flew out of his palm without wind, creating ripple-like invisible waves as it passed through the window.
In the next instant, the red paper crane disappeared.
...
"Master’s message."
Bone Tiger grinned.
With flesh and fur brimming over, Bone Tiger’s exaggerated skeleton supported the image of a robust man over two meters tall.
But that somewhat foolish, stiff expression made what should be a majestic figure of a warrior appear silly, like a fool.
Especially that smile, rigid as if mentally impaired, was quite irritating.
Zhuge Shi reached out and yawned.
"Is someone coming?"
Hiss hiss hiss hiss—
The sound of two thin snakes flicking their tongues was heard, as if responding to Zhuge Shi.
Zhuge Shi glanced at the creature behind him, the two extended fingers turning into two lively small white snakes.
"What is she saying?"
"Qianshe says that Master instructed us to prepare, the court has already adjourned, meaning the one we are waiting for will soon appear."
Bone Tiger chuckled while glancing at Deceit Rat crouched in the corner.
In the Twelve Generals, only four of them were present, and the manpower was somewhat inadequate. If they didn’t cooperate well, there might be trouble.
"Hehehe! Hehehe!"
Deceit Rat’s hunched body trembled, emitting a bizarre laughter, slowly turning his head to look at the three others, revealing two unusually large front teeth.
"The Demon Capital Envoy is visiting, Mr. Xu inevitably follows the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master to court, and upon adjournment, in line with his usual style, he’ll escort the Pavilion Master back to Tianji Pavilion, then return to his manor. This coming and going time, the route, has been calculated clearly by us, coupled with the information provided by Master... this Mr. Xu, tonight, won’t die unjustly."
The friction between his large front teeth and other teeth produced slightly ear-piercing sounds, which were quite unpleasant to hear.
Among the four present, two of them spoke in a way that felt uncomfortable, and only Bone Tiger spoke normally—yet Bone Tiger’s mind was abnormal, making Zhuge Shi feel a bit overwhelmed.
Being with these guys was simply wasting her time.
"What about Shadow Monkey? Wasn’t he supposed to take action too?"
"It’s possible action, since he hasn’t arrived, he’s not preparing to act. Does it really require so many people for merely dealing with Mr. Xu? What do you think, Floating Dragon?"
Bone Tiger reached out to touch Zhuge Shi’s chin, but she slapped it away and grabbed the Black Rain Sword with a backhand.
"If you dare act up again, I’ll chop your hand off and feed it to the dogs."
Her voice was very calm, even with a smile on her face.
But the Black Rain Sword slowly drawn in her hand made Bone Tiger instantly sober, his expression slightly stiff.
Among them, Zhuge Shi could crush them effortlessly.
But Hei Ningyu, none among them dared provoke by even a fraction.
This woman, when crazy, even few in the organization could hold her back.
Hiss hiss! Hiss hiss!
All four of Qianshe’s fingers turned into small white snakes, emitting hissing sounds.
Bone Tiger’s expression brightened.
"They’re here!"
Clip-clop! Clip-clop!
It’s the sound of hooves.
On the midnight street, the sound of rushing hooves was especially clear.
