Chapter 330: Pledge Allegiance

“Eh? Why did you guys change back?”

Lei Luo was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement.

“We only show it to you, Master!”

Hearing this, Lei Luo couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Forget it. They can do whatever they want.

The barrier dispersed.

Everyone saw Lei Luo and the three phoenixes still floating in the air.

No one had expected what had happened inside the barrier.

At this moment, the Evil Death Phoenix let out a long cry.

An ordinary phoenix flew down from the high mountain.

However, the phoenix seemed to be afraid of the Evil Death Phoenix and curled up on the ground.

The Evil Death Phoenix let out another long cry and the phoenix immediately pecked on its wings.

A thread of bright-red blood flowed out.

Lei Luo hooked his finger, and the ball of blood flew into Lei Luo’s hand, forming a ball of blood that floated up and down.

The phoenix also felt relieved and flew away.

Lei Luo descended and landed beside the Blue Star Princess, dropping a few drops of the ball of blood onto the Blue Star Princess’s arm.

On the Blue Star Princess’s hand instantly flashed a ray of red light.

The symbol representing the “Blood curse” disappeared without a trace.

However, from the beginning to the end, the Blue Star Princess just watched in a daze.

Wasn’t this too easy?

After sacrificing so many people and not getting the phoenix’s blood, it was actually easily taken care of by someone?

He was too unbelievable.

At this moment, the three phoenixes in the sky let out a long cry and attracted everyone’s attention.

The three phoenixes turned into a black, white, and red light and rushed towards Lei Luo.

Lei Luo shook off his cloak and the three lights disappeared into his cloak.

The three phoenixes in the sky also disappeared without a trace.

However, the people beside Lei Luo discovered that there were three beautiful birds in his cloak.

One was black, one was white, and one was red, which corresponded to the three phoenixes.

The others were extremely shocked, but they didn’t know what to say.

Lei Luo didn’t explain further. He closed his cloak and the three phoenixes disappeared into it.

At this moment, the other survivors gradually surrounded them.

At this moment, the nobles who looked a little wretched ran over and grabbed Leng Mei’s hand. They said excitedly, “Leng Mei, are you hurt? I was just worried that something might have happened to you!”

Leng Mei flung her hand away in disgust. Without saying anything, she turned around and left.

The man’s expression did not look good, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes.

However, this trace of malice did not escape the careful observation of Leng Mei.

She sighed softly. If it was not for the princess protecting her, she would have fallen into the hands of those nobles long ago.

‘You are the princess, you can’t protect yourself forever.’

Moreover, the princess herself didn’t have much power. If she forcefully stood up for herself, her reputation would also be affected.

Although she was currently doted on by the king, it didn’t matter.

Once the king died, the princess would only be married off as a political sacrifice.

Leng Mei looked at the man named “Huan” with a complicated gaze.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a decision. She walked towards the man quickly.

Lei Luo noticed that someone was renting it to him. He turned around and saw Leng Mei walking over calmly.

At this moment, Leng Mei made a move that everyone had not expected.

Leng Mei knelt down on one knee with a knight’s salute. She raised her head and said solemnly, “Earth Knight Qiqiao Leng Mei, as a Knight’s honorary mage, has left the setting sun empire and pledged loyalty to Sir ‘Huan’ for the rest of her life! She will protect you with her life and follow you forever!”

“Leng Mei… What are you doing?” The Blue Star Princess didn’t understand why Leng Mei, who had always been by her side, would suddenly pledge loyalty to her.

Even Lei Luo was stunned.

However, the current Lei Luo was not the same Lei Luo from six years ago. If he was the previous Lei Luo, he would have accepted this beauty without hesitation.

However, the current Lei Luo was different. He reached out and pressed on Leng Mei’s head. A wisp of black gas gushed out from Lei Luo’s hand and entered Leng Mei’s head before flowing back into his own hand.

“Dark Magic—Soul Reading!”

The Blue Star Princess cried out in shock!

Soul reading was used to read memories, but the spiritual power of the two of them had to be very different.

Otherwise, they would suffer a backlash.

Leng Mei’s entire body was trembling.

She had endured this kind of pain that came from her soul for a lifetime.

Soon, her clothes were wet with cold sweat.

Drops of sweat fell on the dry ground.

At this moment, Lei Luo also withdrew his magic.

He probably understood the reason why Leng Mei was loyal to him. Firstly, she wanted to escape from his life, and secondly, she liked Lei Luo’s strength.

She hoped that she could use Lei Luo’s strength to help him get rid of those flies.

It would be easy to explain once she understood the reason.

Lei Luo accepted it unceremoniously.

San Feng didn’t want to show her face in front of others while Lei Luo happened to be someone who could take care of her. Leng Mei had arrived at the right time.

Lei Luo took the knight’s sword from Leng Mei and put it on Leng Mei’s shoulder. Then, he said in the same solemn tone, “Qi Qiao, Leng Mei, Earth Knight, I accept your loyalty. I will follow you forever and never abandon you!”

The onlookers were dumbfounded as they didn’t understand why Huan, who had just met her, would suddenly accept her pledge of allegiance.

“Sister Leng Mei, why?” Princess Lan Xing asked with a puzzled look.

She couldn’t figure out what had happened all of a sudden.

She couldn’t figure out why this cold-looking sister Lengmei would pledge her loyalty to Huan, who had just been crowned.

Moreover, she acted as if it was a matter of course, and Huan agreed immediately.

“All right, Princess, there’s no need to say anymore. Perhaps you’ll understand in the future that I won’t be able to protect you from now on. You have to be careful.”

Leng Mei revealed a rare smile.

The Blue Star Princess nodded with tears in her eyes.

Just like that, a small disturbance passed just like that.

Everyone started their journey back, but would it be smooth on the way back?

Since the matter was settled, there was nothing much for Lei Luo to do.

Thus, he and everyone prepared to go to Luori City to receive the reward.

However, it was easy to come here, but it was difficult to go back.

There were tens of thousands of people in the team before, but now there were only a hundred or so people left.

Moreover, the news that Lei Luo had the phoenix blood had been spread by the mercenaries. It was estimated that they would encounter a lot of trouble along the way.

Not long after they left Phoenix Mountain, one of the five big pirate gangs in the central continent, the wolf-killing bandit gang, was surrounded by them.

There were about 17,000 people. It was a relatively famous bandit gang in the central continent.
