My Sassy ‘Crown Princess’

With the shield of Mo Yi, Mo Fei swallowed the recovery potion. His originally dried-up spirit force quickly recovered under the effect of the potion.

“Someone’s coming our away. Altogether five, one in level seven, four in level six.” said Mo Fei in a hurry.

Lou Yu and Zheng Xuan made eye contact and both of them wore a serious face.

Lou Yu was with the gloomiest countenance. There were flying ants in the front and pursuers in the back, really troublesome.

Suddenly, the ants’ group gave out a screech of uneasiness. After that, they fell down and became restless.

Lou Yu looked at this scene with an odd look.

Zheng Xuan said in confusion, “What’s going on? Why are so many gold-eating ants dead?”

Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders, “Maybe they have indigestion. Stop worrying about how they died, let’s run.”

Lou Yu nodded, “Yes, let’s leave here first.”

If they were facing the pursuers behind with full strength, they might not be so powerless, but the ants had consumed much of their energy.

They left quickly, but the gold-eating ants followed up. Mo Fei frowned, and then took out a tube of potions, evenly sprinkled on all of them.

A strong stinky smell emanated from them all, covering the smell of the gold-absorbing potion. The flying ants behind those several people did not continue to catch up.

They endured the stench on their clothes, hurried up and fled the place.

After an hour of continual escape, and making sure they had thrown off the pursuers, their group sat on the ground to rest.

Soon after Mo Fei’s group left, four men and one woman came before the star car wreckage.

“Those gold-eating ants are really something. They only left some glass. Every piece of the metal has been eaten up,” said a woman in black with lingering fear.

“Captain, no bodies were found. I think they are still alive.” A square-faced man in the team told the eagle-eyed man, who took the lead.

“No bodies were found, either Lou Yu or Qian Ye. That little star has no capacity at all, but he always likes wearing a pile of gold ornaments on him. He should have been bitten to death,” Said the woman in black.

“No single remain.” The square-faced man looked grim.

“That is really weird. This method has never failed. Even a level even star magician with wind attributes was once killed by those flying ants.” The woman in black wore a stern expression.

The eagle-eyed man picked up a gold-eating ant and his eyes flashed with puzzlement.

“Captain, what’s wrong?” The woman in black looked at him and asked in a dignified expression.

“Nothing. I just think there’s something odd about the death of these ants.” He squinted and the dead ant in his hand turned to dust.

Mo Fei’s group was sitting by a stream to take some rest.

Zheng Xuan walked to the side of Lou Yu, with his eyes focusing on the man, “What are you doing, my prince?”

Lou Yu’s face was calm, “It’s nothing. Just doing some research.”

There were more than a dozen dead ants in front of Lou Yu, which he caught before fleeing.

Lou Yu picked up an ant from the ground and handed over to Zheng Xuan. Zheng Xuan twisted his eyebrows. Before they left, the ants suddenly and violently died for no reason. It was too abnormal.

He looked at the gold-eating ant in his hand and found its stomach had been punctured by the metal in its belly.

“This ant was killed by something he ate himself.” Zheng Xuan looked strange.

“It seems it ate too much and became bloated,” Mo Fei came over.

Lou Yu smiled, “That’s also what I am thinking.”

Lou Yu lowered his head. ‘If the gold-eating ants were so easy to die, they wouldn’t have run rampant that year’, thought he.

He took a look at Qian Ye. Before the collective death of the ants, he clearly felt a wave of star source force emerged from the man.

Zheng Xuan followed the sights of Lou Yu to look at Qian Ye, and his eyes flashed with suspicion. Since Lou Yu had noticed something, Zheng Xuan naturally would not feel nothing.

Disfavor revealed on Su Rong’s face when he looked at the exhausted Qian Ye lying on the ground. “Just a group of ants. Why are you so scared? Gee, your face has lost color. How dare you say you are a brave man?”

Qian Ye’s face was sad and full of grievances, “I hate to trample an ant to death since childhood. I wanted to be kind, but I didn’t expect so many flying ants trying to eat me. Have some pity on me please…”

Su Rong snorted, “You’ve gotten lucky. Those ants killed themselves. Otherwise, you would definitely become their feast.”

Su Rong, a heartless man, thought Qian Ye to himself. He lost color not because he was scared, but he drained his star source force in his body. It was not easy for him to induce the undigested metal in the ants to mutate and let the ants die because of the food they ate.

Qian Ye closed his eyes and absorbed the surrounding source force. Gold-eating ants were, in fact, the bane of the gold star magicians. If those ants were higher-leveled than him, he would surely be eaten. He was actually the best tonic medicine to those ants.

Qian Ye glanced at the furtive Lou Yu and Zheng Xuan, revealing a faint smile at his lip corner. He took out the recovery potion from the space ring and drank it.
