Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 229 Slapping the Face of the Heartless Cultivator 7

These are not the remains of ordinary monsters, but the remains of the legendary dragons.

"After I was swept here by the current, I discovered this dragon skeleton. After I touched its skeleton, I fell into an illusion."

Thinking of what he had experienced in the illusion, Leng Yuexing continued, "In the illusion, I saw it soaring between heaven and earth, and then it died in this lake. Before it died, it blew me out of the illusion, and when I woke up, I had transformed into human form."

"Perhaps it's related to the illusion you experienced," Huangfu Ming pondered. "Do you have any other discomfort?"

Leng Yuexing shook her head, "I'm just a little tired, I don't feel anything else."

"Then I'll take you back to get some rest."

As Huangfu Ming spoke, he hugged Leng Yuexing tightly in his arms, and then manipulated the water-repelling pearl to leave the cave.

After passing through the crack, Leng Yuexing signaled Huangfu Ming to pause for a moment. Then, he channeled his spiritual power and struck the rocks around the crack until it was completely sealed off.

"Let it rest in peace inside, let's not disturb it," Leng Yuexing said softly.

"Okay, whatever you say." Huangfu Ming said in a low voice, then manipulated the water-repelling pearl to swim out of the cave.

Huangfu Ming carried Leng Yuexing through the palace gates, attracting the attention of countless people along the way, all of whom were extremely surprised.

Some of Huangfu Ming's long-time servants could hardly believe what they were seeing.

They had never seen His Majesty treat anyone with such gentleness, except for that white fox.

Thinking of this, everyone secretly warned themselves that they must show the utmost respect to this official and not overstep their bounds, for they did not want to face His Majesty's wrath.

On the way back, Leng Yuexing gradually fell asleep in Huangfu Ming's arms. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in Huangfu Ming's bedroom.

Huangfu Ming was sitting next to him, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand. His brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered something troublesome.

"What happened?" Leng Yuexing couldn't help but ask.

He stood up and leaned against Huangfu Ming, then looked at the intelligence report Huangfu Ming was holding.

The text was short, but after Leng Yuexing finished reading it, her expression instantly turned cold and sharp.

"What exactly are these people trying to do? Are they looking for the White Fox Clan's territory?"

The intelligence report stated that many unidentified individuals were secretly lurking near the White Fox Clan's territory.

Huangfu Ming frowned and pondered for a long time, "The area around the White Fox Clan's territory is considered to be rich in spiritual energy, so it's possible that they are looking for a place with abundant spiritual energy."

Leng Yuexing didn't think so. He quickly got up, picked up the robe that Huangfu Ming had prepared for him by the bedside and put it on, saying quickly, "No, I have to go see it now."

Huangfu Ming got up and helped Leng Yuexing fasten her belt. Seeing that Leng Yuexing was anxious, he whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I've arranged for people from the Dark Hall to protect the White Fox Clan's territory. Those lurking people won't harm your people."

Leng Yuexing nodded, "I believe you, but I still need to go and see for myself to be at ease."

Seeing that Leng Yuexing had made up her mind, Huangfu Ming said in a low voice, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

Leng Yuexing paused in her combing of her hair. "The White Fox Clan's territory is far from here. It will take at least two or three days to get back. You have to attend court. How can you come with me?"

Huangfu Ming's expression softened. "Do you remember the puppet I had the physician make? He just reported that it's finished."

Leng Yuexing looked at him with interest. "I'm quite curious about the puppet made by this physician. Have him bring it over now."

"Alright." Huangfu Ming smiled and turned around, instructing his attendant to summon the physician.

When the physician arrived, Leng Yuexing was already dressed. He wore a moon-white fitted robe, exuding a cool and aloof yet alluring aura, like the finest liquor radiating an irresistible charm.

The physician looked at Leng Yuexing with undisguised surprise, and asked hesitantly, "Yuexing... Your Excellency?"

Leng Yuexing smiled and nodded, "It's me. Thank you for treating me before."

"As expected of His Majesty, you were able to help you transform so quickly!" the physician exclaimed in surprise. He thought that Leng Yuexing's transformation was due to Huangfu Ming's spiritual power and essence.

Leng Yuexing's lips curled up slightly, and she did not object to the physician's words.

The physician looked at Huangfu Ming with admiration, filled with respect.

Seeing that His Majesty was looking at him calmly and ignoring what he had said, and remembering the purpose of His Majesty's summons, he couldn't help but stiffen and take out a mirror as tall as a person from his storage bag.

He gathered his spiritual energy at his fingertips, then lightly tapped the mirror, and gradually a person exactly like Huangfu Ming appeared in the mirror.

After the puppet appeared, the physician respectfully said, "Your Majesty, you only need to channel your spiritual power into the puppet's body so that it will recognize you as its master."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming channeled his spiritual power into the puppet's forehead.

Before long, the puppet opened his eyes. His eyes were lifeless and his face was expressionless.

Huangfu Ming closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to control the puppet's body.

Leng Yuexing could see that the puppet's eyes instantly became lively.

Huangfu Ming controlled the puppet to speak, "Moon Star."

The puppet's voice was exactly the same as his own, without any difference.

Huangfu Ming withdrew his spiritual sense with satisfaction, then opened his eyes and said to the physician, "You did a very good job."

The physician bowed and smiled, "It is my honor that Your Majesty is satisfied."

"Very well, you may leave. The remaining tricolor flowers are yours."

Upon hearing this, the physician was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Heaven knows how much he longed for the last remaining tricolor flower petal, but he dared not swallow it without permission.

After all, it was a rare spiritual plant, and when it was used, there were always attendants supervising and checking it. He dared not and could not swallow the three-colored flower on his own.

Now that he had received His Majesty's promise, the last tricolor flower he had coveted was his, how could he not be overjoyed?

After the physician left, Leng Yuexing said impatiently, "Now that we're ready, shall we set off?"

"Alright!" After Huangfu Ming finished speaking, he gave his dragon robe to the puppet, and then changed into a set of black close-fitting clothes. He then took Leng Yuexing's hand and left the palace through the secret passage in the sleeping quarters.

The puppet was linked to Huangfu Ming's consciousness, and he was sitting quietly at the table reviewing memorials.

After leaving the palace, Huangfu Ming and Leng Yuexing traveled by water to a deep mountain, where the White Fox Clan's territory was located.

This deep mountain is very quiet, with many tall trees growing inside. They are lush and verdant, like large green umbrellas that block out the sunlight, making the forest particularly dark and damp.

The ground was covered with thick weeds, some of which were even taller than a person, making it difficult to walk.

Huangfu Ming transformed Leng Yuexing into her beast form, and then carried her into the depths of the forest.

As they approached the territory of the White Fox Clan, the surrounding vegetation grew increasingly shorter.

Just as Leng Yuexing was about to transform into human form, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from not far away.

His expression turned cold. He jumped off Huangfu Ming and quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
