Chapter 3 The Imp Princess

　　Looking at the imp's sweet smile, he felt his body shudder, he wanted to struggle but couldn't move, he wanted to cry out but couldn't make a sound, and in the blink of an eye, cold sweat soaked through his shirt. 　　"Man is a knife and chopping board, I am a fish and meat. I just came out to travel, and I have to suffer this misery, God you're not joking with me, right?" Chen Nan's heart was truly terrified to the extreme, if he were to be tortured by the palace, his future life would be worse than death. 　　After giving the order, the Imp Princess turned around and walked to the side, and those female guards, their faces reddening, also followed. 　　One of the male guards drew out a long sword and deliberately waved it in front of Chen Nan, frightening him into closing his eyes. The cold blade of the sword stuck to his skin, and a layer of small bumps immediately rose on him. The guard smiled wryly at Chen Nan, and moved the long sword towards his lower body a little bit, such "waiting" made Chen Nan suffer immensely, and in just a few moments, he was deflated, and his body spasmed for a while. 　　The Imp Princess waited for a long time but did not hear Chen Nan screaming, could not help but feel a little strange, she boldly turned around, and saw that her own men were mentally torturing Chen Nan, she felt funny. 　　The little princess walked back quickly, nodded at the henchman in satisfaction, and snatched the longsword in the midst of the crowd's dumbfounded stares. She took the longsword and slapped it on Chen Nan's face and said, "Interesting, I never thought that you lecherous thief is so afraid of death." 　　Chen Nan's face turned green with fear when he saw that this little devil had walked back again and was holding the longsword between his nose and eyes, if this was accidentally stabbed, it would be no worse than a palace punishment. 　　Seeing Chen Nan's face full of fear, the little princess was happy beyond measure, she took the blade of her sword and gently scratched beside Chen Nan's ear, chipping off a section of long hair, when the long hair fell on Chen Nan's neck, Chen Nan's face changed. 　　The guards looked at me and I looked at you, a hint of a smile appeared on their faces, they knew this little princess too well. Although the little princess was already sixteen, she was an incomparable headache, she was both intelligent and mischievous, sometimes she was like a naughty child, with a lot of tricks, which made her impossible to fight. 　　The Imp Princess seemed to be tired of playing around and took her long sword and chopped directly under Chen Nan's body, the guards were shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness the Princess can't be allowed to do that." 　　This group of people can be frightened, its degree of shock is not second to Chen Nan, if the emperor knows that his youngest daughter has done things that dishonor the royal majesty, but also not angry, at that time their group of guards can not escape death. 　　The little princess was full of unhappy color, said: "What are you doing, you still want to control my business?" 　　A female guards rowed out, said, "The princess is the body of ten thousand gold, can not ...... not make ......" 　　"Humph!" The little princess threw her sword on the ground, her face regained its cold look, and turned her body around, "Bring him on, I'm going to slowly pack him up." 　　Chen Nan was as if he had heard the sound of an immortal in hell, seeing a ray of light in the midst of despair and fear, he let out a long breath, secretly sighing that this was really a little devil! 　　There were a total of twelve guards and three magicians beside the little princess, six men and six women out of the twelve guards, while the three magicians were all men. 　　These people were all very young, but all of their skills were not weak, the magicians easily forced Chen Nan up from the water, while the female martial artists knocked Chen Nan to the ground in thirty or so moves, from which one could see one or two of these people's strength. 　　Chen Nan's body regained its freedom, but the mute point has not been unlocked by the Imp Princess, it is really "preventing the people's mouth is even better than preventing the river" ah! 　　He secretly muttered in his heart: these people are black hair and black eyes, it seems that they are all oriental people, but some of them actually know magic, it must be that after the merger of the two continents into the Tianyuan Continent, all kinds of cultivation methods began to circulate in the continent, resulting in the Oriental people mastering some Western magic, it must be that the Westerners have also mastered some Oriental martial arts. 　　Chen Nan watched the imp jumping and jumping among the mountains and forests, and secretly cursed in his heart: twisting his back, breaking his foot, and falling down ...... 　　But he was disappointed time and time again, the Imp Princess was as joyful as a bird that had just come out of its cage, occasionally running up to him and knocking him hard on the head, or pulling his ears hard. 　　Chen Nan really had a hard time saying anything, although he had already used his family's Xuan Gong to secretly unlock the unique pointing technique that the Imp had described, but he had to be "good" and keep his mouth shut. 　　When he was resting at night, Chen Nan had wanted to sneak away, but just as he moved a little, the guards on watch cast a cold glance at him, causing him to give up his intention to escape. 　　"I can't imagine that I, Chen Nan, have been reduced to such a state, little devil you don't want to fall into my hands ......" 　　Their group had been traveling through the great mountains for three days, and had seen huge dragons flying through the air from the sky, as well as the immense footprints of ancient giants, all of which made the Imp Princess excited. Every time she always look for Chen Nan to "express" the joy of the heart, the results make Chen Nan "excited" foaming at the mouth, fell to the ground. 　　For Chen Nan, this is really an incomparably painful journey, he hated and angry at the little princess, but there is nothing he can do. 　　Two days later, Chen Nan finally understood the identity of this group of people and the purpose of their trip. 　　The Imp Princess was Chu Yu, the youngest daughter of the Chu Emperor, who had collected thousands of favors and was favored by the Chu Emperor and Empress. Those guards beside her are the dead soldiers that the emperor sent special people to train for him, and they are loyal to her, as for those three magicians, but they are not yet real quasi-magicians, and they are currently only trainee status. 　　In a few months, it will be the 60th birthday of the emperor of Chu, in order to express her filial piety, the little princess sneaked out from the palace, ready to pick the legendary Fiery Immortal Lotus of the western realm of Chu as a birthday gift to the emperor, and this batch of her men were abducted out by her threat cum intimidation. 　　"What do you guys think, after I offer the Fiery Immortal Lotus to my father, what will be his expression? Well, I guess he'll be smiling from ear to ear and allow me to freely enter and exit the Imperial City in the future. Hehe, it's really great, from now on, I can play wherever I want, no one will stop me anymore, hehe ......" 　　Chen Nan sighed in his heart, how cute she looks now, simply like an innocent little angel. The heart of a demon, the appearance of an angel ah! 　　Each one of these guards was bitter, although they were coerced out by the little princess, the emperor definitely wouldn't care about this, and would surely condemn them when the time came. 　　"Hmph, are you all eating bitter melons? How many times have I told you all that when the time comes, I will definitely not let Father Emperor punish you." The Little Princess was a little upset and looked at Chen Nan who was standing next to her, saying, "Hmph, you scum dare to sneer, come over and practice with me." 　　Two days ago, the Little Princess had been calling Cinnan a lecherous thief, then a female guard whispered a few words to her, the Little Princess immediately realized what was going on, and first, in shame and indignation, she gave Cinnan a furious K-bashing, and after that, she never called him a lecherous thief again, and called him a scum and a stinking thief instead. 　　Cinnan stiffly and reluctantly walked over. He prayed in his heart: God, Buddha, Angel Sister, although I know that you have all entered the God and Devil's Mausoleum to "enjoy the blessings", but do you even have a distant relative? Let them bring down the demons. Demons, ghosts, and the Lords of Hell, hurry up and take away your close sisters. 　　In the past two days Cinnan had accompanied the Imp Princess in his eyes had practiced martial arts N times, and the little princess's martial arts skills were surprisingly high, ravaging him in a miserable manner. 　　The little princess smiled wistfully at Chen Nan and said, "Why do you also have a sad face ah, is it that hard to ask you to accompany this princess to practice martial arts? Hmph!" 　　"Hehe, there's growth ah, not bad, try this move of mine again. Oh, know the powerful right, really funny, huh ......" the forest came from the little princess happy and complacent laughter, Chen Nan's N plus one nightmare began again. 　　On the sixth day, the little princess and her entourage finally came to their destination, a volcano appeared in front of them, the crater is surrounded by layers of smoke clouds, the flames seem to erupt at any time. 　　Chen Nan was secretly shocked: this horrible little devil was really crazy, actually going to the crater of a volcano to pick the Fiery Immortal Lotus. 　　The guards under the Little Princess were incredibly nervous, and one of the trainee magicians said, "Your Highness, is there really a Fiery Immortal Lotus in the crater?" 　　The little princess was a bit upset and hummed, "Of course there is, are you guys scared?" 　　That trainee magician hurriedly said, "No, of course not, we vow to pick the Fiery Immortal Lotus for Your Highness." 　　The little princess said, "When Master, his old man, unintentionally discovered the Fiery Immortal Lotus, it hadn't matured yet, counting the dates, these two days are the best time to pick it." 　　A female guard reminded, "Your Highness, I've heard people say that all heavenly treasures are guarded by spirit beasts, I don't know about this Immortal Lotus ......" 　　"Oh, if you didn't say it, I really almost forgot, my master said that there is a small snake there, well, you guys won't even be able to deal with a small snake, right? Just pay a little attention when the time comes." The little princess was full of concern. 　　Chen Nan secretly muttered in his heart: a little attention? A spirit beast guarding a heavenly treasure can be dispatched casually? This little devil's nerves really aren't ordinary. No, I can't go in the front, it's better to hide far behind. 　　As the group marched towards the mountain, Chen Nan slowly moved his feet and finally landed at the back. 　　"Scum you go to the front." The little princess's crisp voice caused Chen Nan's plan to fall through. 　　He cursed in his heart, "Imp ......" He walked to the forefront of the group with great reluctance. 　　"Hehe, scum what's that look in your eyes, are you very unconvinced, do you want to learn from those masters and duel with me at the top of blah blah blah? Wow, that's great, why don't we have a duel at the top of the volcano as well." The little princess shouted excitedly. 　　Chen Nan sighed in his heart: demon princess! 　　The closer they got to the crater, the higher the air temperature became, causing one to feel a gust of sweltering heat, while the rocks under their feet were getting hotter and hotter. Chen Nan was a little nervous in his heart, always on guard against the little snake hiding in the shadows. 　　The crowd finally arrived at the crater, gusts of smoke drifted out from the crater, the air was incomparably hot, the crater was like a furnace, the sweat dripped down on the dark brown volcanic rock and immediately vaporized and disappeared. 　　A rich and fragrant aroma drifted out from the smoke, making the tired and bored crowd feel refreshed. 　　On the inner cliffs of the crater, a fiery red light traveled through the smoke to the eyes of the crowd, and it was from there that the aroma drifted. 　　The little princess laughed, "There really is a Fiery Immortal Lotus, Master really didn't lie to me. Oh, it's really great." 　　The crowd took out anti-poison gauze and covered their mouths and noses, the Little Princess looked at Chen Nan and threw him one as well, saying, "Hurry up and put it on, those fumes have a very strong toxicity." 　　A small amount of gratitude arose in Chen Nan's heart, but it immediately dissipated. Only to hear the little princess continue, "Put it on quickly, and hurry to lure that that little snake out." 　　He secretly said, Demons will always be demons! 　　The crater was smoky, visibility was very low, looking downward one could only see a faint light, no doubt it was tumbling magma. Chen Nan trembled as he walked forward along the circular crater, secretly praying in his heart that the little snake was napping. 　　The fragrance of the Fiery Immortal Lotus was getting stronger and stronger, and the breeze gently brushed past, blowing away the smoke that surrounded the crater, and the scene in front of Chen Nan's eyes immediately became clearer. 　　Fiery Fairy Lotus is rooted in the crater below three feet on the cliff, the whole plant is about half a meter high, the body is red and shiny, the stem has nine pieces of crystal clear red leaves, the top of the flower is like a lotus flower, but more than the lotus flower is a hundred times more colorful, the red petals are bright and colorful, such as jade carving is bright and dazzling. 　　Smoke surged, the Fiery Immortal Lotus was gradually obscured, and only a fiery red light could be seen. Suddenly, a great sense of crisis surged in Chen Nan's heart, he felt that he was being watched like a prey by a "person". 　　A dark hole appeared on the cliff not far from the Flame Immortal Lotus, two points of blood red glowed in the hole, in the rumbling sound, countless huge stones fell from the hole into the depths of the volcano, and a huge thing poked out from the hole. 　　Chen Nan was so shocked that his soul was about to be scattered. That huge thing was a huge snake head, the size of a house, and the glittering two points of blood-red light were the giant snake's pair of red eyes, the size of a basin. 　　"Rumble." 　　There are countless more debris falling down the depths of the volcano, the giant snake slowly moved outward from the hole, revealing a colorful snake body, the snake body covered with bushel-sized scales, glittering, demonic and terrifying. 　　"The ...... damn, this ...... this is what that little devil said ...... little snake? Fuck ...... this ...... this is too exaggerated." Chen Nan cursed with a trembling voice. 　　The giant snake stopped moving, its blood red eyes stared at Chen Nan, at the same time it opened its huge mouth, revealing white poisonous fangs, which were as sharp as swords, up to half a meter high, hideous and terrifying. 　　Chen Nan felt a cold current quickly spreading from his head to his heels, and a layer of small goosebumps rose on his body. 　　Suddenly a blood-red snake letter two feet long curled rapidly towards him from the giant snake's mouth, and the thick, fishy odor was vomit-inducing. 　　"Ah ......" 　　Chen Nan screamed, turned around and fled, his speed reaching the highest peak he had ever seen, as he ran, he shouted, "Demon stinky princess, I XXXXX, you want to get me killed ......" 　　The little princess had always thought that Chen Nan's mute points had been sealed by her, and when she heard him screaming and cursing loudly, she was first shocked, and then annoyed and angry. However, her face changed miserably when she saw the colorful giant snake behind Chen Nan, but she quickly calmed down again and finally said something that almost made Chen Nan faint, "This snake is so beautiful!" 　　Chen Nan ran like the wind toward the bottom of the volcano, and as he passed by the Little Princess, he cursed, "Pervert, madman, devil ......" 　　These guards brought by the Little Princess were worthy of being tried and tested dead soldiers, after these people were shocked, they quickly calmed down and tightly gripped their weapons in a strict stance, the three trainee magicians began to recite incantations, and bursts of fluctuations of magical elements came from the air. But surprisingly that giant snake did not move after revealing a large part of its body in the crater, it just stared coldly at the crowd. 　　The little princess was unusually calm and collected, "Don't be afraid, everyone, the Fiery Immortal Lotus will mature soon, that stinking snake has been guarding this place for thousands of years, it will never leave the Immortal Lotus by half a step at this critical moment, let's attack it from a distance." 　　Next she ordered, "Quickly sprinkle those Xiong Huang onto that stinky snake." 　　A dozen cloth bags were thrown at the giant snake in unison, at the same time the trainee magician's incantation was finished and a large, cold, glittering wind blade struck forward. 　　The wind blades cut through the cloth bags, and the staghorn yellow floated down from the air and landed on the giant snake, whose body trembled for a while and retreated backward. 　　The spirit of the crowd was greatly invigorated, the cloth bag full of andrographis and a large area of the wind blade once again attacked forward, the giant snake's chilling colorful scales are covered with andrographis, pungent andrographis smell filled in the crater, and soon after the giant snake shriveled up on the ground and did not move at all. 　　The crowd immediately cheered. 　　Chen Nan ran halfway up the mountainside in one breath, and when he heard the cheers behind him he couldn't help but stop and twist his face to watch. 　　"I didn't expect this little devil to be really good, actually getting a behemoth like that down, truly worthy of being the devil's sister." 　　He still felt a bit scared when he remembered the giant snake's sharp fangs and hideous red letters, but at the same time, he also felt very excited. 　　Chen Nan glanced towards the crater, he was tempted to get rid of that little devil and travel the world from now on, but he wanted to stay and watch that rare human-snake battle, he was hesitant in his mind. Finally, he could not resist the temptation, and quietly crawled toward the crater again, and when he was about ten feet away from the crater, he hid behind a huge rock. 　　After carefully surveying the giant snake shriveled up in the crater, the little princess laughed, "I can't imagine that this stinking snake is so cunning, deliberately showing weakness to lure us into a trap, all of you don't go over and attack it here." 　　Those guards took down strong bows and hard crossbows from their bodies and sent arrows at the giant snake, the three trainee magicians also began to recite incantations and prepare for magic attacks. 　　The rows of carved plume arrows shot towards the giant snake like locusts, but surprisingly the arrows made of fine steel touched the scales of the giant snake and merely grazed a string of sparks before sliding to the ground. 　　The huge wind blades released by the trainee magician only caused the giant snake to tremble for a moment after they slashed at its body, leaving no trace behind. 　　The little princess decisively ordered, "Stop the attacks on other parts of the body and focus all so attacks on its eyes." 　　Flying arrows rained down on the giant snake's blood-red eyes, and the snake closed its eyes as if mocking the crowd, blocking the rain of arrows. 　　At this time, the three trainee magicians gathered a large number of magic elements and condensed them into three ice lances, which emitted bright light after being irradiated by daylight, and flew towards the giant snake's eyes like a rainbow in the sky. 　　"Bang!" 　　"Bang!" 　　"Bang!" 　　The ice spears shattered into countless pieces in front of the giant snake's eyes, and the light was completely restrained. These three powerful magical attacks were not without effect, the eyelids of the giant snake revealed traces of blood. At the same time, the huge snake's head rose again, changing its original atrophied color, the snake's scary snake letter gulped uncertainly, its sharp fangs glowed with a chilling light, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at the crowd. 　　Chen Nan hid behind the mountain rocks, ready to bolt at any time. 　　"Poof." 　　The giant snake opened its huge mouth and spewed out a large swath of flames, the roaring flames swept towards the crowd. The three trainee magicians scrambled to recite an incantation, and a light blue magic shield protected the crowd inside. 　　Chen Nan looked dumbfounded and sighed, "It can't be, this super terrifying guy has already cultivated into a demon, my god, Snake Demon!" Seeing this, he moved away from the battlefield another dozen feet. 　　At this time, the three trainee magicians gathered enough magical elements again, they opened a corner of their magical shielding while showering a large curtain of light towards the giant snake. The light blue light screen turned into layers of water waves, in the blink of an eye extinguished the flames beside the crowd, and at the same time doused the giant snake with water, the crater rose up with white mist, the crowd took this opportunity to retreat back seven or eight feet. 　　Giant snake seems to be enraged, in the rumbling sound, it from the cave and moved out four, five feet long snake body, countless pieces of broken stone fell into the depths of the volcano, now standing in the air snake body is seven or eight feet long, the huge snake head looks particularly hideous and horrible. The giant snake looked down at the crowd, the fierce light flashed in its eyes, seemingly wanting to swoop down, but in the end, it reluctantly retreated to the side of the Fiery Immortal Lotus, and the entire body of the snake was stuck on the volcanic rock. 　　The Little Princess and the others let out a long breath, at this time a female guard came forward and said, "Your Highness, this demonic snake has already cultivated, it's not something we can deal with, we'd better retreat quickly." 　　A trainee magician also said, "Yes, this ...... where is this little snake ah, this ...... is a snake spirit ah, we still ...... " 　　The little princess glared at him, frightening this trainee magician to immediately shut his mouth. 　　Chen Nan hid behind the volcanic rock and secretly said, The little princess is fiercer than a giant snake also! 　　The Little Princess said, "Didn't I give you thirty-six powerful magic arrows? If you don't use them at this time, when will you wait, shoot them for me!" 　　These attendants took out magic arrows from behind them and put them on the bowstring, aiming at the giant snake's crimson eyes in unison. 　　"Whoosh!" 　　"Whoosh." 　　...... 　　The magic arrows flew out like electric light, leaving a fluctuation in the air, and the magic elements in the air oscillated irregularly. The giant snake seemed to smell the danger and flashed its hideous snake head to the side. The magic arrows rubbed out a trail of sparks on the snake's mouth, and then the arrowheads suddenly burst open, blowing away a large piece of scale armor on the left side of the snake's mouth, and the remaining several magic arrows hit this part of the snake's mouth, instantly blowing the snake's mouth into a bloody mess, revealing the white teeth of Mori Mori. 　　The giant snake was enraged, the huge snake body stood up at once, and the blood-red snake letter outside the white teeth gulped uncertainly. At the same time hidden in the cave of the snake body constantly moving outward, the crater as the ground shaking general shaking up. 　　Everyone was stunned, and the little princess said in a deep voice, "It seems that we can only use the last move." She took out an ancient long box from the package behind her back, and after opening the box, she took out a longbow with a dark luster. 　　After Chen Nan saw the little princess's movements, his pupils began to contract and his eyes stared at the longbow without blinking. 　　"Houyi Bow!" 　　He didn't expect to see that divine bow from the Immortal Illusion Continent back then after ten thousand years. The Houyi Bow had changed owners countless times, and its last owner ten thousand years ago was Chen Nan's father, Chen Zhan. Back then, Chen Zhan had relied on this bow to continuously kill three overwhelmingly powerful people who had surrounded him in a single day, thus becoming famous in a single battle and shaking the entire Immortal Illusion Continent. 　　Chen Nan's lips trembled as he softly said, "Houyi Bow ah, I didn't expect that I would still be able to reunite with you after ten thousand years ......" 　　It was at this time that there came a terrifying loud noise, countless huge rocks rolled down from the crater, and the giant snake rose up into the sky, with all of its hundred feet of snake body exposed in the air.
