Chapter 170 Becoming the Foot-Washing Maid of the Entire Army Camp
No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of soldiers rushed over in a panic.
"General! Something terrible has happened! The stables are on fire!"
A towering flame quickly rose into the sky, illuminating most of the night sky.
Hu Lieyunxiao's eyes narrowed sharply.
Oh no! His Night-Shining White!
Ignoring the fact that Wu Muyou was still there, Hu Lieyunxiao pushed aside the soldiers and hurriedly ran towards the stables.
Firelight and burning haystacks were everywhere, and someone had untied the horses, causing them to flee in panic.
The soldiers scrambled to pull on the reins, only to be dragged about by the frenzied horses.
The sounds of screeching, trampling, and boisterous voices mingled together.
The entire military camp seemed exceptionally lively.
Hu Lieyunxiao's sharp eyes swept over all the horses present, but he did not see Zhaoyebai.
His anger grew, and his unease deepened.
Hu Lieyunxiao gritted his teeth and was about to plunge into the heatwave when a soldier beside him swiftly pulled him back. "General! There are no horses left inside! There are fires everywhere, you can't go in!"
"Go away!"
Hu Lieyunxiao wouldn't listen to any of it and pushed him aside, trying to force his way in.
Wu Muyou, holding a scepter, walked over unhurriedly. "General Hulie, he is right, there are no horses left inside."
Hu Lieyunxiao then stopped and looked at the stable engulfed in flames with some confusion.
The firelight reflected in his pupils, which were filled with confusion, anger, and palpitations.
This damn woman!
Where on earth did they put his Night-Shining White?!
Wu Muyou raised his scepter and struck the ground heavily, the bells on it ringing out crisply, echoing throughout the entire military camp.
The horse, which had been restless and agitated just moments before, immediately calmed down.
The cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief and led their horses to comfort them.
The sound of the bells faded, but a laugh even more melodious than the silver bells came from a corner of the military camp: "I didn't expect that Nansang would have someone who could control beasts like this. They're quite capable."
"Hey, Hu Lie Yunxiao, are you looking for your Zhao Yebai?"
Hu Lieyunxiao and Wu Muyou turned their heads to look together.
Zhai Rongyu, dressed in a black cloak, rode a snow-white steed. Her face was exquisite, her expression carefree, and her almond-shaped eyes appeared even more lively in the firelight.
Upon seeing her riding his beloved steed, Hu Lie Yunxiao immediately gritted his teeth and shouted, "Witch! Quickly return my Zhao Ye Bai!"
Zhai Rongyu bent down and stroked Zhao Yebai's fur. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she clicked her tongue in disapproval. "General Hu Lie, it's so impolite of you to keep calling her a witch."
“My aunt has a name, and she never changes her name or surname, Zhai Rongyu.”
"Don't call it the wrong name again!"
She blinked, her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembling slightly. Her entire being, bathed in the firelight, possessed an indescribable allure and captivating charm.
Several soldiers blushed secretly, completely mesmerized.
Goodness, I never imagined that the women of Longyan were even more beautiful than those of Nansang.
Even their princess pales in comparison to the one before them.
Wu Muyou stared straight at her, a rare hint of interest flickering in his usually indifferent eyes. "I never imagined that this Miss Zhai would be a kindred spirit like me."
His psychic instincts told him that she was exceptionally capable the moment he saw her.
She set the stable on fire, but loosened the reins beforehand, clearly not wanting the horses to get hurt.
If the horses are burned, the soldiers will be routed in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be more advantageous for her?
But she released the horse, putting herself in danger.
In his eyes, this small act of kindness was nothing more than a woman's excessive compassion.
It is utterly useless.
Upon hearing the voice, Zhai Rongyu took a serious look at Wu Muyou. Through her Heavenly Eye, she could see that this man's Palace of Fortune was shrouded in malevolent energy, indicating that he had killed countless living beings and was extremely cruel.
She frowned.
Although this person possesses psychic abilities, he has absolutely no respect for life.
To him, animals were probably just tools.
Zhai Rong glanced at the spirit snake coiled on Wu Muyou's scepter and snorted disdainfully, "Who's your kindred spirit?"
"This old lady will not cultivate the animal realm."
Wu Muyou wasn't angry; instead, he laughed.
Hu Lieyunxiao stared at him as if he had seen a ghost.
This was the first time he had ever seen anyone from the Wu family show an expression.
Hu Lieyunxiao snapped out of his daze and said to Zhai Rongyu, "Release my Zhaoyebai, and I might spare your life! Otherwise, I'll turn you into a puppet and make you the foot-washing maid of the entire army!"
The soldiers instantly became restless.
Such a beautiful woman, serving as their foot-washing maid...
Many people immediately started having wild fantasies.
Zhai Rongyu casually tugged at Zhao Yebai's ear and then pried open its eyelids, causing Hu Lieyunxiao's heart to rise and fall.
The girl giggled, her clear and melodious voice ringing out.
"General Hulie is so hot-tempered, be careful he doesn't burn down his own camp!"
As soon as she finished speaking, several more flames suddenly appeared. She blew on the extinguished flames of the talisman at her fingertips and looked at Hu Lieyunxiao with a hint of mockery, "Oh dear, what did I tell you?"
Several soldiers cried out in a panic, "General! The tents over there are on fire too!"
Hu Lieyunxiao's eyes widened in fury as he roared.
"I have eyes!"
His arrogant face twisted slightly as he turned to Wu Muyou and said, "Great Wizard, may I borrow your spirit Gu?"
The Wu family's spirit gu is a type of gu insect that can bewitch the mind.
Once planted, no matter how capable Zhai Rongyu is, she can only obediently listen and let him manipulate her.
Wu Muyou glanced at him indifferently, "The spirit gu is precious. Does the general think it's suitable to use it on a woman?"
Hu Lieyunxiao remained silent.
He almost forgot that what the Wu family wanted to manipulate was power, not women.
Wu Muyou waved his scepter at Zhai Rongyu, the spirit snake on it hissing and flicking its tongue. He said coldly, "Miss, my scepter can control flying insects and birds. The steed you are riding, Zhaoyebai, cannot leave the military camp."
Zhai Rong smiled, her dimples spreading gently.
"is it?"
"Then let's give it a try."
She untied her cumbersome cloak and tossed it into the fire, revealing a red dress underneath.
Her smart and stylish outfit exuded a heroic spirit, yet it accentuated her slender waist.
She shook the Hunyuan Bell in her hand, squeezed her long legs together, pulled on the reins, and rushed into the fire without hesitation.
Wu Muyou's eyes turned cold. He struck his scepter heavily, and the two loud bells made the soldiers suffer terribly, so they covered their ears.
"drive!"
Zhai Rong shouted and spurred her horse into a gallop. The firelight enveloped her, giving her a dazzling golden edge. Her red clothes and white horse made her look like a raging fire burning on the snow.
Ahead of her, a raging fire suddenly parted, creating a path for her to proceed as she drew near!
The girl turned her head, her long hair fluttering lightly with the horse's swaying.
She curled her lips into a smile, a vibrant joy that mingled with the firelight.
Her stunning beauty and unrestrained temperament were like a flowing painting, striking straight into Hu Lieyunxiao's heart.
He clenched his fists, a burning ambition igniting in his eyes.
He wants both her and Zhao Yebai!
Zhai Rong made a face at Wu Muyou, then turned and disappeared into the vast night.
