Chapter 240 Dai Yun'er: My savior definitely has six-pack abs
Zhu Ying did not forcibly stop the red-level mecha from leaving, nor did she give chase.
Her primary task was always to ensure the safety of the princess.
But what exactly was that burst of energy earlier, that power that was no weaker than a Title Douluo's full-force attack?
Zhu Ying's brows furrowed involuntarily, and in another flash, she sped off in the direction indicated by the positioning soul tool carried by Dai Yun'er.
In the center of the battlefield, Huo Yuhao, his face somewhat pale, slowly descended from mid-air.
Even a slight exertion of the Golden Dragon Spear's power had stirred an uncontrollable desire for destruction and slaughter within him, forcing him to distract himself from suppressing it.
In contrast, using the energy contained in the Snow Pill caused considerable damage to the meridians in the body under the impact of that violent energy.
But with his current robust physique and the inexhaustible restorative power of the Life Gold, he will be fully recovered in less than fifteen minutes.
Unfortunately, the entire soul bone formed from the remains of the Dragon God cannot fully unleash its true power without the presence of immortal spiritual energy.
Even so, that almost instinctive affinity for the nine elements still brought Huo Yuhao a huge surprise.
Otherwise, he would never have been able to so easily manipulate the two opposing elements of ice and fire to merge them and achieve the state of yin and yang in harmony, turning adversity into prosperity.
After exhaling a breath of stale air, Huo Yuhao's figure instantly teleported to the side of the leopard mech that had been shot down earlier, amidst a flash of silver light.
As for the other two Black-level mechs, they were completely turned into frozen metal blocks by the terrifying explosion of the Ice and Fire Lotus, and can probably only be recycled as scrap metal.
Under Huo Yuhao's special control, the leopard mech was not greatly affected.
Except for the hole in the cockpit pierced by the Golden Dragon Spear, the rest of the cockpit was extremely well preserved.
Huo Yuhao opened the cockpit door, manipulated the wind element to move the mangled corpse out, and casually threw a ball of flame at it, burning it to ashes.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao looked at the huge mecha, which was seven or eight meters tall, and was at a loss for what to do.
He was previously short of money and didn't even have enough spare cash to buy a storage soul tool.
However, the internal space of ordinary storage soul tools on the market is simply not enough to directly store a complete mecha.
Especially now, because of his rebirth, the spatial key to the undead demiplane left by his teacher Electrox in this world was completely lost under those circumstances.
He will need to spend a lot of time to recreate it.
Otherwise, things would be much simpler if we just threw this mech into the undead demiplane.
Just as Huo Yuhao was pondering how to take away this huge black-level mecha, deep in the forest on the other side, Zhu Ying watched the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger carrying Dai Yun'er moving at high speed, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
She moved swiftly and silently, appearing in their path and blocking their way.
As Ah Xie sped along, he saw the woman suddenly appear in front of him. His four tiger claws dug deep furrows in the ground, and he slammed on the brakes to a stop.
This sudden pause nearly threw Dai Yun'er, who had been holding onto Ah Xie's neck hair, off.
Dai Yun'er climbed down from the tiger's back with her legs feeling weak, her face pale and her stomach churning.
She quickly patted her chest, forcibly suppressing the nausea, before raising her head and looking at Zhu Ying with a mixture of surprise and deep anxiety.
"Sister Zhu Ying, I'm so glad you're alright! Quick, go help that boy! He's holding off those three Black-level mechs all by himself. He's only a Soul Master, he'll be in big trouble!"
Even if a Soul Master possesses a complete set of One-Word Battle Armor and can barely withstand the attack of a Black-Level Mech, they are already a prodigy with extraordinary talent.
Dai Yun'er simply couldn't imagine the immense pressure Huo Yuhao had endured to single-handedly hold off three Black-level mechs until now.
At this thought, her bright eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her eyes quickly reddened.
"Your Highness, please don't be in such a hurry."
Zhu Ying looked at Dai Yun'er's anxious and uneasy appearance, which was on the verge of tears, and subconsciously glanced at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger next to her, which was elegantly grooming its fur with its front paws. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Clearly, she had already recognized what kind of spirit beast the spirit before her was, but she still calmly responded:
"The fact that this spirit is still safe and sound means that its owner has not met with misfortune."
Dai Yun'er's tense body relaxed slightly. She patted her small chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that she had been confused by her concern.
But she still pouted, her tone stubbornly insistent: "I can't put my mind at ease until I see him safe with my own eyes."
Zhu Ying was taken aback again.
She could say she watched Dai Yun'er grow up, and had never seen this princess, who was privately called "Little Witch" in the palace, so concerned about the safety of a man.
Even though this man had just saved her life, his concern seemed somewhat unusual.
Before Zhu Ying could agree to take Dai Yun'er to check on the boy's safety, A Xie suddenly hissed at Dai Yun'er a few times, and a clear mental message was transmitted directly into her mind.
Sensing the message's content, Dai Yun'er instantly understood. Almost without hesitation, she immediately took off a storage soul tool adorned with a small sapphire from her waist and handed it to A Xie.
"Take this and give it to your master. Consider the contents a token of your gratitude. Also, when he arrives in Star Luo City, he can use this storage soul tool to come directly to the palace to find me. Remember to tell him my name is Dai Yun'er!"
A Xie nodded, opened her mouth and gently bit the storage soul tool. A flash of blue light appeared around her, and wind elements instantly enveloped her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from the spot.
Zhu Ying looked in the direction where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger disappeared, and the speed at which it disappeared made her expression even more serious.
But for now, she suppressed her irritable thoughts and turned to Dai Yun'er, speaking solemnly:
"Your Highness, the Imperial Mech Guard should be arriving soon. Let's meet up with them first, and then I will escort you directly back to the palace."
……
Half a day later, inside the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
The magnificent palace complex shimmered in the sunlight, and Dai Yun'er had already changed into a gorgeous princess dress.
But she carried herself with no regard for decorum, jogging quickly along the palace road, her destination an elegant palace next to the main hall.
Before she even reached the door, her clear and urgent shouts rang out.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother!"
Inside the palace, Dai Yueyan, who was anxiously pacing around in a blue robe, heard the familiar voice, and his tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
He strode to the door and opened the palace gate himself. When he saw Dai Yun'er running over, panting, she was a little disheveled but unharmed. Only then did a gentle smile appear on his face.
"Yun'er, you really scared your fourth brother this time. I've told you before, the outside world is still too dangerous for you. You're not allowed to sneak out of the palace again next time, understand?"
Dai Yun'er had no time to pay attention to Dai Yueyan's words. She ran straight into the palace, grabbed the teapot on the desk, and poured herself a full cup.
He finally put down his teacup with satisfaction after drinking several cups, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I almost died of thirst."
Upon hearing this, Dai Yueyan's lips twitched involuntarily.
He could only reach out and gently press his slightly swollen brow, his tone tinged with helplessness.
"Yun'er, you've come all this way to see me, surely not just for a cup of tea? Shouldn't you be paying your respects to the Emperor first?"
Dai Yun'er casually found the most comfortable soft couch to sit on and said quite contentedly:
"I just came from my father's place. But he said he needs to discuss the follow-up matters with Sister Zhu Ying, and there's nothing for me to do. He told me to go somewhere cool and stay there."
She paused, then added, her tone tinged with resentment:
"By the way, he also grounded me until the end of the Elite Soul Master Tournament, so I had no choice but to come to you, Fourth Brother, to complain, right?"
Dai Yueyan felt his head throb even more. As his own brother, if he didn't know what his precious little sister was up to, then he would have wasted the past ten years.
He sighed softly, walked behind his desk and sat down, looking calmly at Dai Yun'er, and said:
"Alright, stop pretending in front of me. Tell me, why did you come all this way to see Fourth Brother?"
However, I must warn you upfront: no matter what you say, I will absolutely not help you sneak out of the palace this time.
"Oh no, that's not it!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er immediately waved her hand, sat up straight, and retorted with a serious expression:
"Fourth Brother, I just got back from the brink of death, and I've caused such a huge mess. How could I possibly be thinking of running away again? I know what I'm doing, okay?"
Dai Yueyan sighed inwardly, "You'd better be more discreet in your actions," but he maintained a gentle smile on his face.
"The main reason I came to see Fourth Brother this time is to ask you to help me find someone."
When it came to serious matters, Dai Yun'er's expression instantly became serious. She jumped off the soft couch, ran to the desk in a few steps, and stared intently at Dai Yueyan with her bright eyes.
"Looking for someone?" Dai Yueyan's expression shifted slightly.
Dai Yun'er nodded vigorously, her tone urgent:
"Yes, that's the person who saved me! Fourth Brother, shouldn't you have known already? I was able to escape danger this time thanks to him."
"Even though I gave him the token, what if he finds me too much trouble and doesn't come looking for me anymore?"
As she finished speaking, Dai Yun'er's voice even carried a hint of grievance.
Dai Yueyan was somewhat surprised to see her sister like this.
He never expected that his fearless little devil would actually admit to being a troublemaker.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a genuine curiosity about the white-haired boy he had never met before, but he remained outwardly calm and said:
"Since you're looking for someone, surely I should know what they look like and what their name is, right? Here's what we'll do: you describe them, and I'll draw them."
"Once the drawing is finished, I'll have my men verify the other person's identity through the Empire's Soul Master registration system, and also have them keep an eye out for them within the Empire."
"I knew you loved me the most, Fourth Brother."
Dai Yun'er immediately laughed happily, "I'll tell you what he looks like right now!"
After all, Dai Yueyan was proficient in both literary and military arts, and was deeply loved and valued by his father, the emperor.
With him personally painting the picture, Dai Yun'er was naturally completely at ease.
Under Dai Yun'er's expectant gaze, Dai Yueyan took out a simple set of drawing tools from the bookshelf next to him.
He spread out the drawing paper on the table, carefully rolled up his sleeves, then picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and waited for Dai Yun'er's description.
Dai Yun'er cleared her throat and immediately spoke:
"He had a beautiful head of white hair, not the kind of aged white, but a clean color like snow. He was wearing a very simple black robe at the time, and he was about a head and a half taller than me."
His features were very handsome, and he had a very special, aloof air about him, especially his blue-gold eyes, which were even more beautiful than mine.
At this point, Dai Yun'er seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Oh right, he's the type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath. I accidentally touched him once, and he definitely has six-pack abs..."
Hearing Dai Yun'er's increasingly outrageous words, Dai Yueyan's hand holding the pen froze in mid-air, and several black lines slowly emerged from his forehead.
Especially the shameless descriptions at the end, anyone who didn't know better would think that Dai Yun'er had touched every inch of the house, inside and out.
"Stop, stop for a second!"
Dai Yueyan had to interrupt, "You don't need to tell me the details later. I'm drawing a portrait, not one where the subject is naked."
"What? Fourth Brother, you can draw naked people too? You've been hiding your talent!"
Dai Yun'er's eyes lit up as if she had discovered a new continent, and she looked at him with a slightly mischievous glint in her eyes.
She subconsciously curled her lips, her mind wandering to some unknown scene. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she pretended to wipe away the drool that was about to spill out.
"Alright, alright, that's about it. Fourth Brother, hurry up and draw it. I want to see if it looks like the real thing."
Dai Yueyan shook his head, sighed helplessly, ignored his younger sister's antics, picked up his pen again, and moved his wrist steadily across the drawing paper.
In less than fifteen minutes, with Dai Yun'er's occasional additions and corrections, a lifelike portrait of a boy emerged on the paper.
