She had long suspected that there was sothing off about this woman.
Otherwise, back at the Wen Mansion, Xiao Li wouldn’t have sensed the threatening aura of a demon, lurking nearby and observing.
Moreover, this woman left a deep impression on her. There’s no reason she shouldn’t recognize Bai Zhi’er as the Princess, acting as if she were a stranger.
Once again, Bai Zhi’er thought that the stench on the woman’s body was not the sll of a wanderer, but the foul odor of a decaying corpse.
She rembered hearing back in Old Man Gao’s village that this woman had a dominant personality, with even her husband having to listen to her.
How could such a person fear her husband’s abuse and seek Bai Zhi’er’s help to speak up for her?
So, the woman must be a demon in disguise, trying to lure Bai Zhi’er into the mountains.
As for the motive, it was still unclear.
Feng Fuce glanced down at Bai Zhi’er in his arms.
It seed like it had been a long ti since he last experienced her clinging to him like this.
After their falling out, he rarely had the chance to see Bai Zhi’er again.
Thinking of this, Feng Fuce’s jawline tightened, making his stern face appear even more deeply etched.
"According to the rules, I should first escort you back to the palace, and then pursue the demon." Feng Fuce said coldly.
Bai Zhi’er quickly looked up: "No! If she escapes this ti, it would be like alerting the enemy. We must capture her, and alive!"
Feng Fuce chuckled: "We are not friends. Besides carrying out duties, is there any other reason why I must obey you?"
Bai Zhi’er widened her eyes.
Even now, Brother Ce was still hung up on the matter of friendship.
Her soft voice carried a hint of complaint: "That’s a separate matter, don’t mix them up. Besides, do you dare to disobey the command of the Princess?"
Feng Fuce’s expression remained indifferent: "I have three opportunities to defy royal authority, granted by the Emperor."
Initially, Bai Xilie had granted him such privilege to aid Marquis Wan in dealing with officials.
Bai Zhi’er’s expression faltered: "You! With such arrogance, do you even desire to beco a male concubine?!"
She questioned with her hands on her hips.
This ti, Feng Fuce’s expression changed abruptly.
He looked down at Bai Zhi’er, suddenly speaking in a hurried tone: "I’ve never considered it!"
"If you don’t help , then I’ll go back on my promise to make you a male concubine!" Bai Zhi’er said angrily.
Even Feng Fuce’s typically composed face now bore a trace of thin anger.
"You’re always going back on your word, saying we are friends, just to make happy."
"I didn’t an that. It was sincere."
After Bai Zhi’er finished speaking, she looked towards the direction the demon had escaped.
She saw that the woman had sohow summoned a pitch-black door in the front.
"Brother Ce, she’s trying to escape through there!"
As soon as she spoke, Bai Zhi’er waved her small hand.
A pink and gold light shot out like a Demon binding Rope, surging through the dark snowy night!
The Demon Binding Gold Rope firmly snagged the woman’s leg.
Her upper body was already through the door enveloped in black fog, yet Bai Zhi’er was determinedly holding her back.
The woman slashed back with her hand, cutting Bai Zhi’er’s magic light.
However, in the next mont, a stronger black mist brushed past Bai Zhi’er’s cheek and shot forward!
The woman had no ti to escape before her legs were entangled by the black mist, violently pulling her out.
Bai Zhi’er was stunned and looked back at Feng Fuce who had intervened.
Feng Fuce saw her gaze and softly retracted his sleeve.
"I didn’t help you on purpose, it was because this demon annoyed ." He intoned coldly, barely moving his thin lips.
