Chapter 16 16: Dangerous
Yu Fei didn't reveal any surprise on her face, as if it wasn't the first time she heard that child-like voice. She wasn't the only person who had heard such voices either!
It was the voice of a Celestial Spirit! A Celestial Spirit had its own consciousness and intelligence. Once a Celestial Spirit completely awakened, they could talk to their host and help them independently when needed.
However, it wasn't often that a Celestial Spirit was scared of others!
Even though a Celestial Spirit had consciousness, they weren't scared of being killed. Even when the opponents were much stronger than their hosts, they still helped their hosts with all they had.
It was the first time that Yu Fei felt fear in the voice of her Celestial Spirit! Moreover, it was a fear that her Celestial Spirit felt from a Mortal!
Throughout the years, Yu Fei fought many battles, and she had faced many enemies. There were many occasions when she was on the verge of death. However, her Celestial Spirit never behaved like that! It was the first time for her as well, which slightly surprised her.
'What is so dangerous about him? Isn't he just a Mortal? If anything, we need to worry about the Sky Celestial hiding in the room. We need to find an escape route first. If I can take the Third Prince hostage, our chances of escape will be much higher!'
'After we get out of the Palace, I'll be able to contact the Celestial Place!'
Yu Fei didn't understand why her Celestial Spirit was scared. Her Celestial Spirit was a grade nine Celestial Spirit which was the highest grade! If anything, it was the strongest tier Celestial Spirit. So why should it be scared?
"When you were unconscious, he tried to touch you. I used everything I had to attack him." The child-like voice echoed in her head again. "It should've killed any ordinary person. Even a Celestial General would've been gravely injured. However, he was completely fine!"
Yu Fei wasn't a stranger to the skill that her Celestial Spirit talked about. It was her strongest skill, and it really should've killed the Third Prince even if he was as strong as her, or at least he should've been heavily injured.
However, looking at his condition, she could see that he was perfectly fine. If she hadn't heard it directly from her Celestial Spirit, she would've thought that it was a lie.
"Not only is he fine, but he also feels more dangerous now! As if... As if there's something inside him now that is warning me... warning me to stay away..."Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
The child-like Celestial Spirit was really concerned. Even she didn't know what that feeling was. However, it was a fear that came from deep within... As if it was something that shouldn't exist at all!
Xu Shan could see Yu Fei's expressions changing constantly. It was quite different from how she was behaving previously.
"Your Celestial Spirit is really talkative, isn't it?"
His words echoed in the room, stunning the Saintess and even her Celestial Spirit. For a moment, they even wondered if Xu Shan could hear their thoughts!
They didn't realize that it wasn't that he could hear them. It was just that her facial expressions and sudden silence made it evident that she was talking to someone. The only thing she could talk to was her Celestial Spirit, as all her items and treasures had already been taken away.
Xu Shan couldn't help but wonder just what that Celestial Spirit was talking about. He had a few guesses of his own already.
"I must say, when your Celestial Spirit attacked me, it did tickle me a little. Your Celestial Spirit isn't half bad."
Xu Shan didn't know if the Third Prince died because of the Saintess. However, if that was the case, then it was definitely because her Celestial Spirit was a rare type, and it had attacked the Third Prince.
Since he had no evidence, he could only test it and hope that Yu Fei's expressions could give some information away.
Just as he expected, the Saintess went silent. Her frown deepened, yet she didn't question him. It was clear she knew what he was talking about.
'I see. So my guess was right. Her Celestial Spirit must be a rare one. I wonder what it can really do and what its limitations are?'
More than her Celestial Spirit, he was concerned about why the dark-haired woman told him to not kill the Saintess. Was she worried that he would die if the Celestial Spirit attacked? It didn't seem that simple. If that was the case, he could've just asked the other guards to kill her.
No matter how strong her Celestial Spirit was, she couldn't kill so many powerful guards. Her death was inevitable.
'Then what is so special about her?' Xu Shan was really intrigued.
"Do you know the consequences of kidnapping me? Do you think the Eternal Dynasty will be able to protect you?"
Ultimately, Yu Fei dropped the idea of taking Xu Shan hostage. Even though that was the easier option, but because of the warning of her Celestial Spirit, she didn't take action. She could also see that something wasn't right about the Third Prince. He wasn't like how a mortal should be!
"When it comes to protecting, the Eternal Dynasty is still better than the Celestial Palace, won't you say so? After all, I'm not the one trying to find a way out of someone else's bedroom."
Yu Fei's face twitched as she grew more and more irritated. It was as if Xu Shan had a response ready for everything.
Not only did he not worry about her threat, but he used her words as a foundation to launch an insult back at the Celestial Place! Before this, she had never met someone so brazen.
She had heard that the Third Prince was crazy. He was a thoughtless person who didn't think about anything and only relied on the Eternal Dynasty to commit many evil deeds.
Now that she saw him personally, she was convinced that he really was crazy. However, she didn't agree with him being a thoughtless person. If anything, he appeared to be someone who already had everything under his control.
It was as if he expected this scene to take place exactly like he had planned! From the flow of the conversation to the insults, threats, and even her conversation with her Celestial Spirit... It was as if all of them were planned by him in such a way that she could realize just what danger she was in!
