Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

At that moment, Han Moxi’s pretty face looked serious and stern. His tender eyes blinked quickly, then looked at Wuhen in confusion. “What is my royal brother doing at the top of the mountain?” He asked.

Wuhen lowered his gaze, as his face turned a faint red. “I hear, that he went to go… go after beautiful women,” he respectfully reported.

Han Moxi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Huh? What is the meaning of this?”

Lian Jiuhua caught up to Han Moxi by horse and noticed the unbelievably shocked look on his face. “Milord, is there something wrong?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Han Moxi furrowed his brows and blinked in confusion. Then, he looked over at Lian Jiuhua and smiled. “It’s nothing. We should hurry and reach the top of the mountain. When we do, everything will be clear.”

Lian Jiuhua nodded and stopped asking more questions.

Han Moxi’s legs tightly clamped onto the horse’s stomach, then raised the whip. He lifted a layer of dust and dirt, then left Lian Jiuhua far behind him in the blink of an eye.

Lian Jiuhua looked at the white horse with its head down, heavily heaving from its nose. “Le Zhengyu, hurry it up! If you don’t, we won’t be able to catch up to the prince!” He ushered.

Le Zhengyu raised his head and neighed. He swung its mane, then quickly sprinted towards the mountain top.

“Not bad, continue at this speed and try to overtake the prince!” Lian Jiuhua praised happily.

However, Le Zhengyu slowed down before he reached halfway up the mountain and heaved. “I’m so tired! I can’t run anymore!”

Lian Jiuhua twitched his lips in disbelief. “But you’re a horse that can ride a thousand meters in a day!”

“If you’re complaining that I run slow, then you can come down and run for yourself! Why must you ride on my back?” Retorted Le Zhengyu as he ran slowly.

Lian Jiuhua was stifled by what Le Zhengyu said and replied in frustration. “Are you saying that I can’t run faster than you?”

“Hmph! That was the case to begin with! No matter how slow I run, I’m still faster than you!” Scoffed Le Zhengyu with his head held up high.

Lian Jiuhua gritted his teeth. “Alright, how about we compete? Let’s see who reached the top of the mountain first?”

“Alright, I’d love to!” Le Zhengyu happily accepted the challenge.

Lian Jiuhua grunted in annoyance, then kicked the stirrup with both feet and used Qinggong to fly up. He left the horse’s back and flew straight for the peak of the mountain.

Le Zhengyu raised his head and neighed, then exerted all the power in his body to sprint up the mountain.

…

Han Moxi led hundreds of mounted soldiers to reach the top of the mountain first. The open land was vast and the night breeze blew softly. The moonlight shone upon the lush forest and secluded, beautiful greenery.

Han Moxi continued to take a few steps forward, when suddenly, he noticed that Han Moze was sitting there in the grass in a distance.

So, he immediately sped over by horse.

However, after taking several steps forward, Han Moze was nowhere in sight anymore.

Han Moxi furrowed his brows in confusion.

“Ah-woooo…”

All of a sudden, they heard the sound of a pack of wolves howling.

Han Moxi’s face turned pale from fear and his entire body started to shudder.

Was he dreaming?

Why did it feel so real?

“Aooowww…”

With a heart of fear, Han Moxi only wanted to spin around and flee, so he tightly grabbed onto the reigns and retreated.

However, he couldn’t shake off the pack of wolves no matter how hard he tried.

…

Outside of the hallucinatory realm, the yellow cat demon watched the twirling Han Moxi, then smiled wickedly and proudly. “It won’t be long now. That man should be tired to death by now right? Haha…”

The white cat demon looked at the hundreds of soldiers on horses in nightmares, then smiled. “Looking at those cowardice humans move around is so much fun!”
