The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 202 Difficulties between advance and retreat

Ling Mi suggested that Hua Chao wait for the Third Prince of the West Sea to arrive. By then, with his ability, he would definitely be able to save Yang Shilin and Maomao.

Hua Chao's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he pushed Ling Mi's hand away.

"How could you be so confused? We lost all our spiritual power after escaping from the West Sea and are in this situation now. If the Third Prince finds us, my father will be here soon."

"Do you think our father will still let us stay in the mortal world? There is still Brother Yang in the current Shelong Village. The imperial court has sent a large force to wipe out Shelong Village."

"Four to five thousand soldiers were killed at the entrance of Shelong Village overnight. Those soldiers from the imperial court will not let Brother Yang and the villagers of Shelong Village go."

"You and I are leaving now, leaving them behind so how can they face what will happen next."

"Besides, things have developed to this point. You and I are both involved."

Ling Mi looked at her sister in surprise, her expression becoming increasingly serious. She had never seen her sister look so serious before.

His fair face turned slightly red due to anger, and a hint of anger flowed in his gentle eyes.

"Sister, I haven't really thought about the spiritual honey you mentioned."

"Ah...it seems that the two of us are really in a dilemma now. If we go back to Jing River, we will lose all our spiritual power. If we go to the Cliff of Broken Souls, we are afraid of encountering a thousand-year-old fox demon."

Ling Mi lowered her head and sighed in frustration, like a flower whose petals were wet by the rain.

Hua Chao embraced Ling Mi with concern and patted her shoulder gently.

The little flower fairy accompanied him on this trip to the mortal world, and they went through all kinds of hardships, but he never heard her complain.

If Ling Mi hadn't been by her side all this time, she might have given up.

"Ling Mi, now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."

"I just hope I can help Brother Yang get through this difficult time. As for what we should do in the future? I don't know now."

"I don't know if Huo'er has gone into a trance or if his original spirit has left his body. I just saw some flames in Huo Ling'er's eyes."

"Maomao actually had such an incredible thing happen to him. According to what you said, that scene is not ordinary spiritual power. Maomao was able to use the spiritual power in his body to save Huo Ling'er."

"Maomao's spiritual power seems to be related to water or ice. Huo Ling'er is a fire unicorn. Fire and water have always been incompatible, but Maomao was able to save the fire unicorn."

Ling Mi's almond-shaped eyes widened wider and wider.

"Sister... Ling Mi also feels it's strange when you put it that way."

Hua Chao gently rubbed his temple.

"There is another thing that makes me feel even more strange, the ice-blue crescent on my body and the 'Nine-ring Spirit Stone' in my body."

"It seems to be closely related to Maomao. I have never figured it out, so I have never mentioned it to you."

Hua Chao pulled Ling Mi and continued to move forward.

"Originally I thought that the Ice Blue Crescent Moon, Maomao, and the Nine-Ring Spiritual Stone might all be related to me alone. But judging from the current situation, things are not that simple."

Ling Mi said with a crying voice.

"Sister, what you said sounds so complicated. Ling Mi feels like there is some secret behind these things."

"You think so too! Perhaps we will soon be able to solve this mystery. Let's solve the problem at hand first."

"Well... OK, I'll listen to my sister in everything! Let's save Brother Yang first, Maomao, and we'll talk about the future later."

Passing through the mountains and forests, the two people passed by Acacia Pond, but they just glanced at it.

During the past three years, I often came to sit by Acacia Pond, but I never thought of going to the place where I woke up after jumping off the Cliff of Broken Souls.

But today, the two of them came here without hesitation.

From a distance, Hua Chao felt that the patch of grass made her inexplicably panic.

That was where she and Lingmi were lying when they jumped off the Cliff of Broken Souls.

The gloomy and cold fox cave, the cunning and sinister thousand-year-old fox, and Xiaohong who turned into dust.

Scenes flashed through Hua Chao's mind. For the past three years, her world had been quiet and peaceful.

Maybe everything will become confusing from today on.

But so what? Even if there are dangerous places ahead, Hua Chao will still go and explore.

"Sister, this cliff is so steep, it's really not easy to climb up."

Ling Mi looked at the towering Soul-Breaking Cliff and couldn't help but gasp.

The cliff is almost vertical, with jagged rocks and almost no place to climb.

Moreover, it is so high that it reaches the clouds, and the top of the cliff cannot be seen at all in the smoke.

"Don't be afraid of such a small cliff. There is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem climbing to the top of this cliff."

Hua Chao saw Ling Mi's fearful expression and stepped forward to gently pat her shoulder.

"Hehe... I'm not scared! I just feel a little cold. I climb the cliffs every day to look for herbs."

"Ling Mi is best at climbing. Let's have a competition later to see who can climb faster."

The two men secured the small backpack and checked to make sure their shoes and socks were worn properly.

The foot of the cliff was easy to climb as the rocks were not slippery, and soon the two of them had climbed to a place twenty or thirty meters above the ground.

But the higher they climbed, the steeper the slope became, and the two people's speed became slower and slower.

Hua Chao clung tightly to the rocks, with one foot on a protruding moss-covered stone.

Looking up, I couldn't see the top of the tooth. I only saw the mountain mist above my head and some strange protruding rocks covered with green moss.

"Sister, you have to be careful. When you grab the cliff, check whether it is solid or not. If there is moss, remove it before climbing up."

Hua Chao glanced at Ling Mi who had climbed higher than him. Her light figure was like a little swallow on the cliff.

He swayed lightly and grabbed a piece of cliff rock, climbing up a few steps.

"Lingmi, don't climb so fast. Be careful. The mountain is slippery here and the movements are too fast. It is inevitable that something might go wrong."

It would take a long time to climb up such a high cliff.

Even though two people often search for medicinal herbs on the cliff, their leg strength is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

But today's Cliff of Broken Souls is not like an ordinary small cliff. The mountain here is almost vertical.

If you really fail and fall, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Don't worry, sister...just be careful about your own safety!"

Hua Chao said no more and looked up to find a place to go up.

He exerted force with his feet and stepped onto a cliff. He then let go of one hand and immediately used the force to move upwards, aiming at the rock he had just spotted and holding on tightly.

The series of events that have happened in recent times have made Hua Chao feel that he seems to be a little overwhelmed today.

The hands that were clinging to the cliff were actually shaking slightly, and even the legs that were stepping on the cliff felt a little sore.

Suddenly Hua Chao felt a little dizzy and hurriedly grabbed the cliff rocks with both hands.

She took a deep breath to sink the air into her lungs and closed her eyes to ease the panic that was making her feel a little panicked.
