The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 908 Yaoyao Says

Upon hearing Huang Jing's shout, both Ma Ji and Lan Zhijin, one a demon and the other a human, understood that Huang Jing wanted Lan Zhijin, whose every move was a killing blow, to stop.

However, although the demon and the human heard it at the same time, they each had their own interpretation.

Ma Ji knew that Huang Jing had told Lan Zhijin to stop because of Meng Shisan. He didn't want Lan Zhijin to really kill him, and he didn't want him to be forced into a situation where he had to fight back, because if he made a move, he would hurt Lan Zhijin.

If Lan Zhijin doesn't stop, he will inevitably have to take action to protect himself.

Lan Zhijin simply thought that Huang Jing was afraid that he would be hurt by the demon in front of him, but he felt that Qingmei had really overestimated Ma Ji's demonic power. As a demon hunter, even if he was no match for the demon, he would not be easily hurt by a demon.

Given that, how could he possibly stop?

So, Ma Ji and Lan Zhijin both heard Huang Jing's shout, but neither of them stopped.

Huang Jing scoffed and, without another word, rushed forward and attacked, his target Lan Zhijin: "I told you to stop! Didn't you hear me? Even if you did hear me, did you just ignore me?"

Lan Zhijin used Buddhist prayer beads to deal with Ma Ji, but she directly drew her whisk. The magical weapon clashed with the magical weapon, catching Lan Zhijin, who was determined to destroy Ma Ji, off guard and almost getting hit by the whisk.

"...Are you serious?!" Lan Zhijin and Huang Jing's whisks brushed past his cheeks, making him so angry that his face turned black.

Huang Jing not only made a move while speaking, but also successfully blocked Lan Zhijin and Ma Ji, separating them and preventing Lan Zhijin from having another chance to kill Ma Ji: "You are serious with Old Ma, so of course I am serious with you too."

"Old Ma? Do you know..."

"know."

"...Do you...know?"

"Old Ma's original form was a red bridle horse, and a rare Akhal-Teke horse at that."

In the back and forth, amidst surprise and astonishment, Lan Zhijin understood Huang Jing's meaning. Looking at Ma Ji, who was being protected by Huang Jing not far behind, he immediately understood: "You knew all along that he was a horse demon? And yet you still protected him? Preventing me from killing him?"

He asked three questions in a row, and Huang Jing didn't even need to answer; he already had the answers himself.

This has always been the case, and he's almost gotten used to it.

Huang Jing pointed to the magical artifact in Lan Zhijin's hand: "Put away your prayer beads."

As she spoke, she first put away her whisk.

Blue Ash skillfully put away his magical artifact: "You're just taking advantage of the fact that I'll always let you have your way, aren't you?"

"You're telling me I shouldn't?" Before Huang Jing and Lan Zhijin went on their travels, they were given a long lecture by their elders. Besides the clan rules and regulations, the implication was that Lan Zhijin should take better care of her while they were away.

He agreed very firmly at the time.

She remembered it perfectly.

Lan Zhijin took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with Qingmei. He glanced at Ma Ji behind Huang Jing and asked her, "You're a celestial master, and he's a demon. What are you two planning to do outside the city together?" He looked again and again at where Huang Jing and Ma Ji were and noticed something: "This is the area where those two demons led us in circles that night?"

"You just realized?" Huang Jing scoffed. "When Ma Lao and I came to the outskirts of the city, it was Yao Yao who asked Ma Lao to help me find those two demons. We had just found their trail and hadn't even started chasing after them when you came after us first, and without saying a word, you attacked Ma Lao, fighting and killing him."

Although her words were somewhat impatient, she clearly explained why she and Ma Ji were in this place.

Then, he introduced them on both sides: "Horse Swiftness, Blue Ashes."

"Master Lan." Ma Ji was a demon, and he knew that Huang Jing was protecting him. When he heard Huang Jing introduce them, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Faced with the courteous horse demon, Lan Zhijin knew that Ma Ji was protected by Huang Jing because he was Meng Shisan's man, but since demon hunters and demons were inherently opposed, no matter how polite Ma Ji was, he couldn't give him a good look: "Old Ma."

Even so, in the end, he still addressed Ma Ji respectfully as "Old Ma," just like Huang Jing.

He did this for two reasons: first, he didn't want Qingmei to treat him badly anymore; second, a demon whom even Qingmei addressed with respect must be quite powerful, a fact he had already sensed during his fight with Ma Ji.

To be honest, if Qingmei hadn't called for a halt, it would have been impossible for him to eliminate Ma Ji.

As the fight progressed, he realized that Ma Ji was completely avoiding his killing moves, and doing so with ease. If Qingmei hadn't intervened, he estimated that after a few more moves, Ma Ji would no longer have been so passive, but would have retaliated and captured him.

It wasn't that he was trying to diminish his prestige; although he was only twenty years old, he had already killed quite a few demons and had about ten years of experience dealing with them. His estimate was definitely accurate.

After introductions and greetings, the harmonious scene pleased Huang Jing, who had acted as peacemaker.

Just as she was about to suggest that the three of them work together to continue searching for the butterfly demon and wolf demon, she had Lan Zhijin pull her aside to speak: "How much do you know about Elder Ma?"

Huang Jing countered, "What do you want to know?"

"How many years of cultivation has he had? What is his demonic power? Has he ever harmed anyone?" Huang Jing's question clearly indicated that he should ask directly, and Lan Zhijin naturally did not stand on ceremony and immediately asked what he wanted to know, "Also, how did he become acquainted with Miss Meng? How did he become Miss Meng's subordinate? Why did Miss Meng send him to help you in this pursuit of the butterfly demon and the wolf demon?"

Huang Jing answered in one breath: "Old Ma is four hundred years old. His original form is a red-bred Akhal-Teke horse. He has always lived quietly among mortals. He currently lives in Mocheng Hutong, next to the Anmofang Tea House in the south of the city. The hutong is a dead end, and the last house at the end of the hutong is his home. Yaoyao said that he has never harmed anyone. He makes a living among people, mainly by performing magic tricks to earn money to support his daily life."

"You really haven't harmed anyone?" After listening to the whole story, Lan Zhijin finally relaxed his tightly clenched fist. The four-hundred-year-old horse demon was not weak in demonic power. With his cultivation level, it would indeed be difficult for him to kill Ma Ji.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is whether Ma Ji has ever harmed any ordinary people.

If he had the chance, even knowing he couldn't win, he would still find a way to eliminate Ma Ji.

If he has never harmed mortals and is a good demon, then according to Qingmei's wishes, it would not be unreasonable to let Ma Ji run free.

"I trust Yaoyao." Huang Jing had only just learned about the horse demon Ma Ji, and she trusted Meng Shisan, so she would listen to whatever Meng Shisan said.

When Lan Zhijin heard this, although he was used to it, he was still not happy to hear such words again. He really didn't understand what charm Meng Shisan had that made his childhood sweetheart so devoted to him in such a short time.

If only his childhood sweetheart were so devoted to him...

Just thinking about it for a moment, he realized that he would listen to whatever she said for the rest of his life.
