Chapter 538 - 340: An Astonishing Four Months_2
Thinking this way, Yan Xiaobao and Lan Feng quickly arrived at the main castle in the city center. Their breaths were shallow, their entire bodies vigilant, ready to retreat if they were not treated kindly.
When Yan Xiaobao reached the castle, he wished he had more time to walk, but no matter how much he wished for it, it would not happen. Resigning himself, he moved toward the castle gate.
Just as Yan Xiaobao was about to walk past, he was stopped by two Snake-men who appeared far stronger than Sha Yun. Their race reminded him of her, and he swore that one day he would take her and her sisters to the Divine Domain; a place where they truly felt at home, rather than abandoned.
He quickly shook his head, dismissing the nostalgic memories of Sha Yun and others from the depths of his mind. As he gazed at the two beasts before him, his eyes grew sharp.
Both of them appeared tense, as if they were confronting someone far beyond their strength, but their loyalty was unwavering; neither seemed to regret their decision to block the path of this young man with white hair.
"No entry for strangers," one of the guards said after swallowing nervously. His voice quivered slightly. Seeing how fearful they were of stopping him, Yan Xiaobao understood that Lan Feng had been correct when he said other beasts regarded him as a Saint.
Almost laughing, Yan Xiaobao paused in his tracks, feeling there was no need to harm anyone from Wan Qiao, not even injure one unnecessarily—it would be too easy for a woman to turn against him.
Staring at the guards, Yan Xiaobao thought for a moment before opening his mouth. "I’ll wait here, but one of you go and inform Wan Qiao that Lan Feng has arrived. Lan Feng and Yan Xiaobao."
After speaking, Yan Xiaobao stood there and waited for one of them to take action. As he did so, his heart wrestled with unease, worrying about what might unfold. Still, he had already informed the guards and could not turn back now. Whether his racing heart was due to Lan Feng’s fear or Yan Xiaobao’s anticipation, neither men nor beasts could guess.
Seeing the young man just standing there without showing signs of trouble for the two guards, they both exhaled a sigh of relief. Then, exchanging glances, one of them immediately rushed into the castle, heading toward the room where the mistress of the Divine Domain was reading various reports.
