Chapter 271: Chapter 271: One More

Yunqian’s expression changed instantly, and before he could speak, he realized that the shadow was that kind of monster. In his urgency, he swiftly flicked out a talisman. The golden talisman sparked enormously in the dark, halting the shadow in its tracks. It immediately curled up and in the next moment stood up, transforming into a massive creature as tall as a house, accompanied by a roar that thundered through the skies and shook the entirety of Prince Duan’s Mansion.

Prince Duan, who had hastily dressed due to a fire, had just stepped out of the courtyard when he was stopped in his tracks by the roar, and he instinctively grabbed Housekeeper He’s hand.

"What, what’s going on?" Prince Duan looked suspiciously at the night sky, thinking it had been thunder.

Housekeeper He didn’t know either and scanned the night sky.

"Commandery Princess, go check on the Commandery Princess—" Zheng Boding came to his senses in the next moment, no longer caring about the fire, and headed straight for Zheng Nianru’s courtyard.

Zheng Nianru was awakened by the roar, and Nanny Yun, Xing Yu, Fu Dong, and Nian Xia rushed to her, gripping her hands tightly, their faces filled with panic and uncertainty.

"What happened?" Zheng Nianru asked.

"Slave, slave doesn’t know, it seemed like..."

"Aaooo————" Just then, another roar sounded, and in the darkness, the Ghost Shadow remained hidden, only revealing the figures of Yunqian and Xi Feng along with Gu Dao, their forms flipping and flying.

The house servants of Prince Duan’s Mansion, no longer concerned about the fire, trembled and hid beneath a rockery.

"A ferocious beast?" What kind of beast could emit such a terrifying roar? It must be some monster, a monster, the legendary snake beast of Weixing Mountain?

"Has the snake beast become a demon?" One of the house servants blurted out, only to be slapped down by Lin Qu, who was leading them.

"Nonsense, it might just be thunder—"

The house servants held their anger as they could not speak out, knowing it didn’t sound like thunder.

"Nian Ru, Nian Ru—" Prince Duan leaped into Zheng Nianru’s courtyard, and just as Xing Yu was about to go out to investigate, she allowed Prince Duan and Housekeeper He among others to enter.

"You, what are you doing going out? Stay with the Commandery Princess," Prince Duan immediately saw Xing Yu and quickly spoke.

"Prince, the Commandery Princess asked me to check outside." Well, the Commandery Princess is more important; the Prince is right.

Xing Yu quickly turned back.

"What is it?" Zheng Nianru asked anxiously, her guess tinged by a vague memory of that horrifying roar she had once heard.

"Commandery Princess, could it be that monster again?" Xing Yu felt it sounded similar, while Nanny Yun and the others, already terrified, turned pale and trembled incessantly.

"Father, did you see it?" Zheng Nianru, upon seeing Zheng Boding who came in with the others, immediately asked.

"See what?" Prince Duan asked, and Zheng Nianru closed her mouth. That day, Prince Duan had come late and hadn’t seen the terrifying form of the monster in the sky; and now, it was night again, how could he see it?

"Father, what should we do?" Zheng Nianru asked, knowing there was no time to wonder why the creature was here or its purpose. She thought about how to escape.

Outside Prince Duan’s Mansion, Song Gao and Song Yuan were stunned. Why was it Prince Duan’s Mansion, not Prince Duan’s Mansion, they immediately went to Gui San.

"Wrong, wrong, not here, next door." Song Gao anxiously wanted to barge in, although he had only seen the Ghost Shadow once. If the Commandery Princess was scared to death by the Ghost Shadow, who would be responsible?

"No mistake, the person you gave is right here." Gui San affirmed confidently, closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, his lips moving faster and faster, and then the next moment, he abruptly opened his eyes.

"It’s three men, the one leading is quite formidable, holding the Golden Scales Magical Instrument, is it not?" Gui San snorted coldly, "Now they are battling my ghosts."

Song Gao and Song Yuan were startled when they heard this. It wasn’t just three people. Why would they be at Prince Duan’s Mansion? But no matter who those three were, this place was Prince Duan’s Mansion. What if the Commandery Princess and Prince Duan got hurt?

"We can’t stay, let’s retreat quickly—" Song Gao and Song Yuan immediately pulled on Gui San.

"Stop the nonsense, let go——"

The dark shadow in the darkness suddenly shot up into the sky, entangling Zong Yunqian for a moment before suddenly slamming into a large tree in the courtyard.

Zong Yunqian and his partners were also stunned. What was happening?

"Let me down, you’re causing trouble by fooling around like this, it will lead to accidents——" Gui San panicked, immediately stabilizing himself, ignoring Song Gao and Song Yuan, and quickly trying to stabilize the ghost shadow.

The shadow got up from the ground, steadied itself, but before it could stand firm, Zong Yunqian had already pounced on it. Originally tame, the creature, now in peril, was recklessly flung into a courtyard by its side.

"Clang clang——" A loud noise fell right into Zheng Nianru’s courtyard, scaring everyone huddled together into shivering.

"Someone, come here!" Prince Duan’s lips quivered ruthlessly. This was bad, this was very bad; somebody could die.

In desperation, Zong Yunqian rushed in. At this moment, the shadow was again controlled by Gui San and immediately wrapped itself around Zong Yuanqian.

"Ah——"

"Ah——" The screams of a few maids and old women filled the air, and the only light in the courtyard flickered dangerously. In the sky, a figure tumbled up and down, but a closer look revealed something horrifying surrounding him, throwing a grown man up in the air, smashing the corner of the roof.

"Heir Zong, it’s Heir Zong——" one of the old women, seeing well, trembled as she pointed at the silhouette in the sky.

"Who cares about persimmons now," Nanny Yun said tremblingly, having noticed a persimmon tree in the courtyard that wasn’t yet fully red.

"No, the one in the sky is Heir Zong, it’s a monster..." the old woman yelled once more.

This time, Prince Duan understood, and it did indeed look like him. In the dead of night, this Heir Zong...

Prince Duan couldn’t see the situation in the mid-air clearly but was still uneasy. Gathering his courage, he took a few steps forward and saw Xi Feng falling down, recognizing Xi Feng. Who else could be in mid-air but Zong Yunqian?

"Xi Feng, what are you doing here?" Prince Duan grew bolder and immediately asked.

Xi Feng was malcontent from being hit; this question made him even more flustered, how to explain their sudden appearance in Prince Duan’s Mansion. Glancing up at the mid-air where the heir and Gu Dao were still struggling with the ghost shadow, this shadow was far stronger than those they had encountered before, and moreover, the heir hadn’t fully recovered yet.

"Prince, our heir found this monster and feared it might harm you and the Commandery Princess, so he rushed over," Xi Feng hurriedly explained.

Prince Duan clinged to this explanation like a lifeline.

"It’s all thanks to your heir’s consideration, keep busy, keep busy——" Prince Duan dared not advance any further.

"Commandery Princess, should we go out and hide for a while?" Nanny Yun, hearing the noise outside, saw that everyone in the room was already terrified.

Zheng Nianru desperately shook her head. Why go out? To seek death?

"Commandery Princess, if that thing falls, I’m afraid this roof won’t hold," Xing Yu also worriedly looked at the roof.

What Zheng Nianru thought about was, how could this thing appear here? Once or twice, she felt it was targeted at her. She had just returned to Prince Duan’s Mansion. Who was it that couldn’t get along with her, wanting her life?
