Chapter 71 Jiangcheng 29 The most unlucky one is him
They flew into the sky, but unfortunately, the fog below was too thick, and they couldn't see anything.
"Host, don't worry, he's the main character, nothing will happen to him."
"Since he's the main character, there's nothing to worry about, right?"
Si Xiaxia was stumped by Wen Li's question, but that was Shen Yingsi. As long as he didn't want to, no one could hurt him.
Wen Li wanted to go down and take a look, but just as she was about to fly down, Aunt Song stopped her.
"It's not certain whether Shen Yingsi has gone in or not, but you can't go down and hurt yourself."
Wen Li pulled her hand away from Aunt Song's: "No matter what, I have to go and see."
After saying that, Wen Li flew into the mountains again. Zhao Sicheng said to Aunt Song, "Aunt Song, go back and see if Fourth Brother is in the manor. If he is not, ask Xie Xiao to bring everyone in the Zhao family to look for His Highness."
Aunt Song watched as the two of them flew inside, and had no choice but to return to the mansion to ask for help.
Unable to see anything in the fog, like a blind person, Wen Li could only rely on touch and sound to find Shen Yingsi.
"Shen Yingsi! Where are you?"
Fourth Brother, where are you?
The forest was quiet, with only the calls of Wen Li and Zhao Sicheng audible. Unfortunately, not only was Shen Yingsi nowhere to be found, but even the two demons were nowhere to be found either.
When Aunt Song returned to the Zhao residence, Xie Xiao was chatting with the other guards at the entrance.
"Let me tell you, those rumors among the people are not exaggerated at all! Our Fourth Brother is omnipotent, and no demon can get close to him!"
The surrounding guards all looked at him with admiration. One guard exclaimed, "Your Highness is truly the luckiest person in the world! High status, great ability, even the magical artifacts are those of the legendary God of the Green Lamp. It is said that when Your Highness was born, golden light shone everywhere, and auspicious clouds of seven colors surrounded the palace. The priests at the time said that Your Highness was a god descended to earth!"
Xie Xiao said proudly, "Let me tell you a secret, our fourth brother..."
"Xie Xiao!"
Xie Xiao was interrupted by Aunt Song before he could finish speaking. Xie Xiao looked at Aunt Song somewhat helplessly: "Was that demon killed? Why aren't Wen Li and the others here?"
Instead of answering, Aunt Song asked him, "Where is Shen Yingsi?"
"He's right in his courtyard, Mingzhu should be there too."
No sooner had Xie Xiao finished speaking than Wen Mingzhu walked out of the Zhao residence looking listless.
"Mingzhu, where is His Highness?"
Wen Mingzhu stared at him blankly: "I don't know."
Xie Xiao turned and met Aunt Song's gaze. Startled, he turned and ran inside. Aunt Song followed closely behind, while Wen Mingzhu, unaware of what was happening, also ran inside.
"Fourth brother!"
When he ran into Shen Yingsi's courtyard, just as he had guessed, it was empty.
Aunt Song stopped a servant boy sweeping by the door and asked, "Has His Highness returned today?"
The servant replied, "His Highness has not returned since he went out this morning."
Xie Xiao heard this as soon as he came out, and then asked Wen Mingzhu, who looked confused, "Weren't you with Fourth Brother today?"
Wen Mingzhu: "My fourth brother told me not to follow him, so I left."
At this moment, Xie Xiao was too lazy to guess why Wen Mingzhu was so obedient today. He looked at Aunt Song.
“He should have gone to find Wen Li, but the monsters in Nijin Mountain are after him. The monsters were fighting with us, but they disappeared as soon as Your Highness arrived.”
Xie Xiao's expression was solemn: "Mingzhu, you go find Uncle Zhao first. Aunt Song and I will go to Nijin Mountain to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mingzhu immediately flew to the back mountain on her sword, found Zhao Wenbai, and explained the situation to him.
Zhao Wenbai immediately led all the demon hunters of the Zhao family to Nijin Mountain.
In no time, an ordinary mountain was surrounded by demon hunters.
The entire mountain was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see anyone clearly, yet sounds and shouts echoed throughout the mountain.
As dusk fell, the demon hunters emerged one after another. Even the demon hunters who had gone in with Wen Li and Zhao Sicheng that morning had all been found.
Wen Li was still searching inside: "Shen Yingsi!"
“Host, you’ve searched almost the entire mountain, but it’s only so big. And even the Demon-Pointing Disc hasn’t reacted. I suspect they might have taken the protagonist out.”
Wen Li looked around but couldn't see anything, so she had no choice but to come out.
Almost everyone in the Zhao household wore a worried expression.
Zhao Wenbai immediately knelt on the ground and prayed to heaven, hoping that His Highness would not have any mishap while he was there.
Xie Xiao, on the other hand, seemed relatively calm: "Don't worry too much, everyone. Fourth Brother will be fine."
Wen Li lifted her head off the table: "How do you know he'll be alright?"
Xie Xiao looked at her: "Fourth Brother has always been a target of demons since he was a child, but whenever he is in dire straits, he always has a benefactor to help him and turn danger into safety. Or he encounters all kinds of adventures and becomes even stronger."
"Noble?"
Xie Xiao: "They are the immortals in heaven."
Everyone relaxed a lot after Xie Xiao said that.
Zhao Sicheng asked, "I hope nothing bad will happen this time?"
Xie Xiao thought for a moment: "Your Highness's destiny is indeed extraordinary; it is a divine destiny. Once, Your Highness was knocked off a cliff by demons for three days and three nights. When the Empress was almost fainting from crying, Your Highness was finally carried back up by the Azure Cloud Spear. What is that Azure Cloud Spear? It is a divine artifact, the magic weapon of the God of the Azure Lamp. A divine artifact that had disappeared for hundreds of years suddenly appeared, and it even automatically recognized its master. Back then, the God of the Azure Lamp perished to save the world, and today everyone knows that the Azure Cloud Spear has recognized its master, which is why everyone says that Your Highness will be the savior of the world in the future."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and Zhao Sicheng said with envy, "I wonder what kind of adventure Fourth Brother will have this time, maybe he will get some kind of divine artifact."
The tension had subsided, and everyone was confident that His Highness would return safely. After all, he was Shen Yingsi, capable of anything.
Seeing that Wen Li was still frowning, Xie Xiao comforted her, "His Highness accidentally ingested the ancient elixir of death, the Divine Death Pill, when he was seven years old. Others can hurt him, but they cannot kill him. His body has a very strong self-healing ability."
Wen Mingzhu replied, "I know. My father said that His Highness is immortal and will surely become an immortal or a god in the future."
Wen Li hummed in agreement and walked out. Of course she knew that Shen Yingsi was unkillable. In her previous life, it was precisely because she couldn't kill him that she chose to throw him into Ghost Valley.
Wen Li walked very slowly, and the people who had gathered behind her dispersed to rest.
She overheard the demon hunters in front of her chatting idly.
"Your Highness is truly fortunate. Others may spend decades cultivating diligently, or a family may spend generations searching painstakingly, but none of that can compare to his good fortune."
"That's right. Everyone claims to be a cultivator and a demon hunter. Demon hunters are cultivators, but in the end, everyone in the world except His Highness is just a demon hunter. His Highness is truly aiming to cultivate immortality and become a god."
"Yes, we're so lucky! We have a divine artifact, elixirs, and a benefactor to help us."
As the demon hunters gradually moved further away, Wen Li could no longer hear their conversation.
Wen Li kept walking until she reached the gate of the courtyard before she realized that she had arrived at the gate of Shen Yingsi's courtyard.
"Host, what's wrong? Are you still worried about the protagonist?"
Wen Li didn't answer, so Si Xiaxia comforted her again: "He's the protagonist. You've read storybooks, right? The protagonists in those stories always manage to escape danger, and the world of the novel is formed around him. He's immortal, he can't die."
Wen Li didn't hear Si Xiaxia's voice at all. She glanced at his courtyard and remembered the day he plucked the scales by himself, his body covered in blood.
"I used to think I was the unluckiest person in the world, but it turns out he's the unluckiest one."
Si Xiaxia wondered if she had misheard, but the villainous female supporting character's thought process was always peculiar.
How could Shen Yingsi be unlucky? He is the chosen one.
