The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

The sturdy horse was tied to a conspicuous wooden post in the suburbs along the road.

The front hooves were raised towards Xue Feiya who was making sarcastic remarks. If they were not tied up, they would definitely kick the witch on the head!

It’s okay to solve the food problem by yourself. Being self-reliant is a piece of cake for the horses of the brave family.

But...

You tied the horses to a field without grass! Do you want them to eat the soil to survive?

Xia had no choice but to untie the reins tied to the wooden stake.

"Xuefei, these horses know the way. There's no need to tie them up. They can eat and drink here by themselves. When they notice us coming back, they will come looking for us. If we tie them up like this, they will starve to death."

"Wow...Xia, your horse can do anything! I thought it would run away if it wasn't tied up. This horse is smarter than a fish."

"You catch fish to tie them up!"

Well, Xia tried to unbutton the rope for a long time but couldn’t, so she could only swing out a magical light blade to cut the reins.

Xuefei, you even tied a knot.

You really have to starve them for a few days to boost their morale, right?

Looking around, there are crisscrossing suburban roads and stars hanging low in the wilderness.

Looking far to the east, you can see the outline of snow-capped mountains illuminated by the moonlight.

This place is located between the northern border of the Demon Territory and the middle line of the border fortress [Lidqidu] on the east side.

From here, the distance to both destinations is about the same, but it is still nearly a hundred miles away.

The purpose of riding in a carriage is not to hurry on the journey, but just to discuss countermeasures while traveling.

Now that everything has been discussed, it’s time for everyone to do what they should do.

Xuefia and Belis stood together, and the other three stood opposite with a Siletela.

If some people are dissatisfied with the team assignment, they have to keep it to themselves. Even Xia has agreed, so what else can others say?

Ignoring Timani's occasional nagging, Xuefiya held the back of her head and joked before leaving.

"Speaking of which...is this the first time our gang has done something serious? It's quite memorable, huh? Everyone, work hard! If you can rescue my aunt, I'll ask her to give you gold coins! She's actually quite rich, so let's make her bleed a lot this time, otherwise it would be a big loss if she came all this way!"

"..."

eh?

It seems like no one is reacting...it seems like they have no interest in the gold coins...?

Instead, they were all looking at Xue Feiya in front of them, as if they wanted

When she exploded "gold coins", of course she was not referring to the currency circulating in the market.

"Xue Fei, I will bring your aunt to meet you, and then we will go to the snow-capped mountains in the north to see..."

"Xia! You can't say that!"

"?!"

Haven’t you heard of the phrase “raise the flag”?

Never say things like “I’ll do this and that when I come back”; such statements are quite dangerous!

She interrupted Xia's spellcasting in time. Seeing that she stopped talking, Xuefei wiped her sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.

You can't say.

But I can.

The smile of the silver-haired girl shrouded in moonlight is far more beautiful than the snow-capped mountains in the distance, yet closer than the snow-capped mountains.

"I'll meet up with you guys after I finish my business over there! Hehe, there are night markets in both the Northern Territory and Lideqi. I'll take you shopping and show you the prosperity of the Demon Territory. And the sunrise over the snow-capped mountains is a stunning sight."

This time, everyone's reaction was much more obvious than the previous time when he mentioned distributing gold coins, and smiles gradually crept up their brows.

This is what everyone is waiting for.

Xiaya smiled knowingly, took a step forward and slowly hugged Xuefei.

You know, Bellis almost beat him up!

"Um?!"

No...first...hold on for now. Wait until Xialete and the others leave, then Sister Wang and I can hug her however we want.

Ahhh I really can’t stand it...!

Like a kitten protecting its food, Bellis grabbed Xuefei and brought her to her side. Her silver hair stood on end as she stared at Xia, and she made low, gurgling warning sounds from her throat.

Xia smiled bitterly. She wanted to say something, but decided not to say it for now.

Xuefei, when we meet again, sister will not only talk more.

Including the things that you haven't enjoyed enough in the Demon King's Castle, you must finish them all, okay?

Although Xia didn't say anything, Xue Feiya felt a chill!

Siletla spread her arms and circled around Xuefei, full of energy, not like someone who could complete the task.

"Great! Lady Xuefiya! I want to be the first one to go shopping with you! I haven't been to the streets a thousand years later!"

"Ah? Didn't I bring you out when we were in Orus?"

"That doesn't count! Lady Xuefiya didn't like us at that time!"

"I don't like you now, do I...?"

"!"

"Uh, no, you're a pervert, but you're not that annoying, huh...? Sorry, sorry, lately I've subconsciously understood the word like as that kind of liking. If you mean friendship or something like that, it's not that..."

"So that means you like me?!"

"Forget it. I still think that friendship can't be called love."

"Woo...! You still like me, okay...!"

Come on, even if you tiptoe with tears in your eyes and poke my face with your big fish, I will not change my position.

Well... although it doesn’t count as friendship, but as a mascot, I might actually like it.

As usual, Dimani snorted and turned away, as if she didn't care about Xuefeiya's remarks.

But she raised her dragon wings - ready to fly away at any time.

It seems that the fire lizard is also looking forward to shopping in the Demon Territory!

Hehe, I said that our demon clan’s products are of good quality and low price, everyone will definitely like it.

Probably only Livra... was rubbing her hands together at the back to keep warm, looking lonely and out of place.

The strong people present don't need to keep warm.

Livra is just an ordinary person who feels cold when approaching snowy mountains.

She said that she came along to gain experience together, but Xue Feiya knew how timid and afraid of death she was.

Other things have nothing to do with Xuefei.

But at least this sentence should be said to her.

"Livra."

"Ok?"

"Remember, if something happens, hide behind. You've already succeeded by following me here. You must stay alive, okay? I haven't taught you this, my apprentice."

"Don't worry, Teacher Xia Ya! I may not be good at anything else, but I am first-rate at saving lives! And...well, anyway, I will try to help!"

Livra pressed her palms against the thick winter dress beneath her scarf.

Feel the magic throbbing in it.

In the inner pocket of the clothes, there is a black feather given by Xue Feiya, engraved with a powerful defensive magic seal.

It’s true that I’m afraid of death...but it’s also possible that no matter how hard I try, I can’t keep up with everyone else.

But I'm increasingly feeling...

I feel more and more...

The road that follows Teacher Xia Ya is so broad.

The light that exploded in Livra's eyes when she looked up was like a white-feathered bird soaring into the sky in the dark night.

The naughty princess who often climbs over the wall of the royal city is now "disobeying" her fear of death, and is eager to see the same scenery as Xue Feiya!

Xue Feiya was also stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.

But soon, she felt at ease.

It seems that there is nothing to worry about.

This group of people is more than enough to complete this task.

"Okay, okay, you can't help me, but just don't create another Wind Demon Dragon Fish. Then... we can just work hard on our own. Bellis, let's go."

"I see. Oh, by the way, Sister Wang, wait a minute, why don't you put this on before you go?"

"Hmm? This is... oh! I miss it so much!"

Pinned on her chest by Bellis herself was a cool medal made of pure gold and engraved with a magic fire pattern.

If you look carefully on the medal, you can see the word "two" carved in the language of the demon clan.

The emblem of the second commander of the Demon King's Army, a souvenir that Xue Feiya placed under her bed when she ran away from home.

I thought I would never need it again, but not long after, I started wearing it again.

Like the fishing rod, this one is an old friend.

Well...

"This thing... didn't I put it under the bed...? Baileys, you even crawled under my bed?"

"Sister Wang, you're kidding. How could I crawl under your bed when you're not at home, hug your pajamas, and fantasize about sleeping on top of me? I'm not a pervert. I just found this medal by accident... um, by accident."

"You seem to have admitted something that should have been kept secret?!"

And if you give me a medal, wear it well! It's such a memorable event, why are you pinching my chest? Can't you wear it well?!

This place cannot be stayed for even a second.

[Super Acceleration] [Super Enhancement]

"Eh...?! Sister Wang, wait for me! I won't make trouble anymore! Hehehe... You don't need to wash your hands again, Sister Wang!"

Xuefei hid her eight wings into six and leaped into the air to escape from Bellis's clutches, turning into a stream of silver light and flying towards the sky.

Bellis followed closely behind, and the two sisters seemed to be playing around rather than going to the battlefield to quell the rebellion.

This is also a rare beauty.

Xia held her breath and concentrated, holding the holy sword horizontally in front of her, while glancing dozens of miles behind her.

There, the golden pillar of light rising into the sky demonstrated a strong presence.

Can you see it from so far away?

A sealing magic of such a huge scale is indeed a grand undertaking, and no one knows who did it.

There are always people interfering with Xuefei's peaceful life...

The silver hair used to disguise the identity, along with the golden magic particles, blew away snowflakes all over the ground.

The aura around Xia continued to rise, and Siletra understood at the same time and returned to the sword.

The light emitted by the perfect holy sword had no temperature, but it was enough to turn the surrounding snow into mist.

The sword was swung, exuding a cold and stern aura.

"Xialet...? You..."

"Hush! Miss Timani, you don't know...! Miss Xia asked us to complete the mission. Lady Xialet is serious about this!"

"..."

Usually Xia is timid and doesn't say anything.
