Chapter 280 Demon Princess, Hero Saves Beauty
"This is the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill!" Yun Shuang held the jade bottle, her eyes shining.
Bai Yutang nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Nine Revolutions Soul Resurrection Pill that I spent a hundred years to refine.
This pill can bring the dead back to life, even if the soul is scattered."
"Grandpa, this medicine is too expensive." Xiaoxue pulled Bai Yuting's sleeve.
Bai Yutang stroked his beard and said, "Friend Yun saved your life. This little token of gratitude is nothing."
Yunshuang put the jade bottle into the cloth bag and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan stood aside, watching Yunshuang stuff more things into the cloth bag.
The cloth bag looked tattered, but I don’t know how many treasures it contained.
"By the way, Elder Bai," Yun Shuang asked, "Did you come to the Demon Realm to collect the Demon Heart Grass? Did you get any results?"
Bai Yutang sighed, "Alas, I haven't found it after searching for a long time.
This Devil Heart Grass grows in the deepest part of the Demon Realm, and without demon bloodline, it is impossible to get close to it."
"Demon bloodline?" Yun Shuang touched her chin, "How about I help you find it?"
"You?" Bai Yutang looked Yunshuang up and down. "Do you have a way to enter the depths of the Demonic Realm?"
Yunshuang was about to speak when the sound of fighting suddenly came from the distance. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the flashing of swords and the sound of shouting and killing in the woods.
"Let's go and take a look." Yun Shuang pulled Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan and ran towards the woods.
"Yunshuang, what do you want to do now?" Lin Qingxue said helplessly.
"Judging from the noise, there must be something exciting to watch." Yun Shuang laughed.
They reached the edge of the woods and hid behind a large tree. In the open space ahead, they saw a woman in a purple dress being besieged by a dozen demon soldiers.
The woman held a purple sword in her hand. Her movements were agile and the sword shone like water. She had already knocked down several demon soldiers.
But there were too many enemies and she gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Hey, this woman is quite interesting." Yun Shuang squinted her eyes and looked at the woman.
The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin and picturesque features. Her long purple hair fluttered in the wind, and her every move exuded a noble and elegant aura.
The most special thing is that there is a purple crescent mark on her forehead, emitting a faint light.
"Is she from the demon clan?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.
"She's not an ordinary demon," Lin Qingxue said. "Looking at the crescent mark on her forehead, she must be from the demon royal family."
"The royal family?" Yun Shuang's eyes lit up. "Doesn't that mean..."
"Princess, you can't escape!" a demon soldier shouted, "Follow us!"
"What did I say? It's indeed a princess." Yun Shuang took out the Gatling gun. "With such a beauty in front of me, how could I not save her?"
"Do you want to show off again?" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him.
"This is called a hero saving a damsel in distress." Yun Shuang picked up the Gatling gun, "Watch me!"
"Wait!" Lin Qingxue held him back, "Are you sure you want to save her?
She is a demon princess."
"No matter who she is, let's save her first." Yun Shuang shook off Lin Qingxue's hand and strode out of the woods.
"Hey! You guys who bully women!" Yunshuang shouted loudly while carrying the Gatling gun.
The demon soldiers and the woman in purple were stunned and turned to look at the uninvited guest.
"Who are you?" asked a demon soldier.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Yun Shuang grinned, "What matters is that you are about to become sieves."
"What do you mean?" The demon soldiers had not yet reacted.
"Thumbs up!"
The Gatling gun spewed out flames and bullets rained down like raindrops. The demon soldiers didn't even have time to dodge and fell to the ground one after another.
The purple-clad woman stared at the scene in amazement. It was the first time she had seen such a strange weapon, and it was so powerful.
"Done!" Yun Shuang blew away the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle and winked at the purple-clothed woman. "Beautiful lady, are you okay?"
The purple-robed woman came to her senses and bowed to Yun Shuang: "Thank you very much for saving my life, young master."
"It's a small matter." Yun Shuang waved her hand. "I wonder why Her Highness the Princess is being hunted by her own people?"
"You know my identity?" the purple-clothed woman asked in surprise.
"I guessed." Yun Shuang pointed to the crescent mark on her forehead, "This is the symbol of the demon royal family."
The purple-clothed woman pursed her lips and said, "My name is Ziyue, and I'm the younger sister of the Great Prince of the Demon Realm."
"The eldest prince's sister?" Yun Shuang's eyes lit up. "Then why did your brother send people to hunt you down?"
Zi Yue bit her lip and said, “My brother wants me to marry the Ghost King of the Ghost Realm so that we can form an alliance.
But I didn’t want to, so I ran away.”
"Ghost King?" Liu Ruyan walked over. "Is that the Ghost King with three heads?"
"Do you know him?" Zi Yue asked.
"I've heard of it." Liu Ruyan curled her lips, "That guy is ugly as hell, and he's also a lecher."
"That's why I don't want to marry him." Zi Yue said, "But my brother didn't listen to me and insisted that I sacrifice myself for the overall situation."
Yun Shuang touched her chin and said, "So, you are running away from your marriage now?"
"Yeah." Zi Yue nodded, "I want to find a place to hide and wait until the storm is over."
"That's perfect." Yun Shuang took out a jade slip from her cloth bag, "This is the coordinates of the teleportation array I just got. It can teleport me directly to the mortal world.
Do you want to come with us?"
"Is it really possible?" Zi Yue's eyes lit up.
"Of course." Yun Shuang smiled, "But..."
"But what?"
"You have to agree to one condition of mine."
"What conditions?"
Yun Shuang leaned close to Zi Yue's ear and whispered something. Zi Yue's face flushed immediately: "This...this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong with that?" Yun Shuang chuckled, "You don't want to marry the Ghost King anyway, so why not..."
"What are you whispering about?" Lin Qingxue walked over with a bad look in her eyes.
"Nothing." Yun Shuang quickly took two steps back, "I was discussing with Zi Yue how to help her escape the marriage."
"Hmph." Lin Qingxue snorted coldly.
At this moment, shouts and cries of killing were heard in the distance. Another group of demon soldiers came chasing after them.
"Oh no, it's my brother's personal guards!" Zi Yue's face changed.
"Let's go, let's leave here first!" Yunshuang pulled Ziyue and ran.
The four of them went into the woods, twisting and turning to escape the pursuers. Yunshuang found a secluded cave and took everyone inside.
"Huh, I finally got rid of them." Yun Shuang wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Mr. Yun, the conditions you just mentioned..." Zi Yue asked with a red face.
"Don't call me Master, just call me Yunshuang." Yunshuang said with a smile, "As for the conditions, we can discuss them when we get to the mortal world."
Lin Qingxue and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.
This Yunshuang, what bad plan is she up to again?
"You guys rest here for a while, I'll go take a look outside." Yun Shuang said and walked out of the cave.
Just as he reached the cave entrance, Yunshuang heard footsteps and quickly hid behind a large rock.
A dozen or so demon soldiers passed through the cave entrance, led by a tall demon general holding a purple sword.
"General, the princess is missing." said a soldier.
"Keep searching!" the demon general roared. "The Crown Prince said we must find the princess before dark!"
Yunshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief after the demon soldiers left. He returned to the cave and said to Ziyue, "Your brother sent a general to capture you."
"It's General Zi Dian." Zi Yue said, "He is my brother's most trusted subordinate."
"That guy looks pretty powerful," Yunshuang said, "but in front of my Gatling gun, he's just a target."
"Yunshuang, don't be too arrogant." Lin Qingxue warned, "Be careful of capsizing in the ditch."
"Don't worry, I'm the most cautious person." Yun Shuang took out a compass from her bag. "This is a detector. It can sense any movement within a hundred miles."
"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.
"Well..." Yun Shuang smiled mysteriously, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
The compass suddenly made a beeping sound, and Yun Shuang's face changed: "Oh no, a group of people are coming this way!"
"Let's go!" Lin Qingxue pulled Zi Yue and ran into the cave.
Yunshuang took out a round ball and threw it at the entrance of the cave: "This is a smoke bomb, it can hold them off for a while."
The ball exploded, and thick smoke instantly enveloped the entire cave entrance. The four took the opportunity to escape through the path at the back of the cave.
"Stop!" General Zi Dian's roar came from behind.
"Well done!" Yunshuang turned around and raised the Gatling gun, "Let's taste the power of modern technology!"
"Thumbs up!"
Bullets poured out like raindrops. General Zi Dian raised his sword to block, but was still beaten back repeatedly.
The other demon soldiers were even worse off, they were beaten into sieves.
"What kind of magic is this!" General Zi Dian said in horror.
"This isn't some magic trick," Yun Shuang said proudly, carrying the Gatling gun. "This is the power of technology!"
"Run!" Liu Ruyan shouted.
The four of them took advantage of General Zi Dian's daze and sneaked into a bamboo forest.
Yunshuang took out a piece of talisman paper from the cloth bag and stuck it on the ground.
"What is this?" Zi Yue asked.
"The invisibility talisman," Yunshuang said, "can conceal our presence."
Sure enough, General Zi Dian chased him out of the bamboo forest, turned around and left.
"We finally got rid of them." Yun Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. "Zi Yue, are you really determined to go with us?"
Zi Yue nodded: "I don't want to marry the Ghost King, nor do I want to go back to the Demon Palace."
"Okay then." Yun Shuang took out the jade slip from the bag, "This teleportation array can send us directly to the mortal world.
but..."
"Another condition?" Lin Qingxue glared at him.
"It's not a condition." Yun Shuang said, "It's to remind Zi Yue that once you go to the mortal world, you can't come back."
"I know." Zi Yue said firmly, "As long as I don't have to marry the Ghost King, I can go anywhere."
"Let's go." Yun Shuang activated the jade slip, and a ray of light enveloped the four of them.
At this moment, General Zi Dian rushed into the bamboo forest with a large group of troops.
"There!" General Zi Dian pointed at the light and shouted, "Catch them!"
"It's too late." Yun Shuang waved to General Zi Dian, "See you later!"
In a flash of light, the four disappeared from the spot. General Zi Dian stamped his feet in anger: "Damn it!
Let them run away!"
The light faded, Yunshuang opened her eyes, and found herself standing in a bamboo forest.
But the bamboo here is obviously much shorter than that in the Demon Realm.
"Is this the mortal world?" Zi Yue looked around curiously.
"Yes, the spiritual energy here is thin, but it is quiet." Yun Shuang said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a good place."
