Chapter 204: Chapter 183: Angel’s Wings, I Am the 7th Princess

’What should I do?’

An alien contingent of two hundred. There was no way he and Fang Tangtang could fight them head-on. If they were caught, death was practically guaranteed.

’Should we run?’

Whether they could even escape was another question entirely.

Seeing the enemy about to close in, Gao Neng couldn’t worry about anything else and immediately shouted, "Who goes there?! How dare you trespass on the territory of the Dark Night Elf Clan?!"

"Huh?" The leading alien paused, slightly stunned.

The other aliens also came to a halt.

Evidently, they hadn’t expected the people hiding on the mountain to actually be from the "Dark Night Elf Clan."

"We are the Northern Cave Race, here to propose a marriage at the invitation of the Elf Queen!" the leader soon announced.

’A marriage proposal?!’

Gao Neng glanced at Fang Tangtang beneath him. ’Another group here for a marriage proposal? But didn’t this girl say only one race was coming? How did another one show up?’

The Northern Cave Race!

’They’re actually from the Northern District Battlefield?!’

Hearing this, Gao Neng realized that something major must be happening with the Dark Night Elf Clan. But he didn’t have time to dwell on it now.

Saving his own skin came first.

"If you’re a marriage delegation, then why are you trying to steal our kill?" Gao Neng said as he stood up, grabbing half a wolf’s head and conveniently using it to hide his face.

"Kill?" The leading alien glanced at the wolf head in Gao Neng’s hand, a look of surprise in his eyes. But he seemed to understand quickly. "It seems this was a misunderstanding. We merely suspected an ambush on the mountain. We didn’t expect to find allies from the Elf Race hunting here."

"So it was a misunderstanding? Well... you can continue on your way, then. We still have hunting to do here." Gao Neng felt a flicker of joy. ’I really am a genius.’

Just as he was thinking this, the other party spoke again.

"Still hunting? Our Ninth Prince has come in person to ask for the Princess’s hand. Shouldn’t the two of you be leading the way?" The Cave Race warrior, Ah Bing, said with a sneer.

"Lead the way?" Gao Neng’s expression shifted.

’Shouldn’t we just go our separate ways?’

’What the hell is this "lead the way" crap!’

’I really underestimated these aliens.’

These guards had traveled all the way from the North District to the Eastern District for a "marriage proposal." They couldn’t possibly be green recruits. They were most likely battle-hardened warriors.

’What now?’

’They actually want me to lead the way!’

’They probably still suspect my identity and are worried about an ambush on the mountain, right?’ 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Ah Bing of the Cave Race asked when Gao Neng remained silent. At the same time, he gestured with his eyes to several Cave Race warriors behind him.

The Cave Race warriors understood immediately.

They began to surround Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang from the left and right.

"Ngh..." At that moment, Fang Tangtang broke free from Gao Neng’s grasp. "Lead the way, my ass! Don’t you have your own map? The Hill Giant Race already passed through. If you’re so scared of dying, just follow them!"

"The Hill Giant Race?" Ah Bing was stunned again.

"That’s right! They’ve already gotten a head start. If you waste any more time here, you’ll lose your chance to propose!" Seeing that they seemed to be falling for it, Fang Tangtang immediately shouted again.

"This... We have come from afar as guests. As our hosts, why do you not understand basic courtesy?" Ah Bing hesitated but still insisted.

"Courtesy? I am the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elves. What courtesy do I need to show you?!" Fang Tangtang grew even more smug.

"The Seventh Princess?!" Ah Bing’s expression finally changed.

It wasn’t just him. The two-hundred-strong contingent below all turned their gazes in unison, focusing completely on Fang Tangtang.

The few Cave Race members who had been closing in on Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang stopped in their tracks.

"It’s the Princess!"

"Could it be? The Princess came here specifically to welcome us?"

"..."

A wave of discussion rippled through them.

Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Fang Tangtang’s face.

She tilted her head up and glanced at Gao Neng, as if to say, ’How about that? I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am amazing, right? I scared them all stiff in an instant!’

"Greetings, Princess!" Ah Bing was silent for a moment before finally speaking again. "I am Ah Bing, a guard under the command of the Cave Race’s Ninth Prince. If I have caused any offense, I apologize to the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan!"

"No need for formalities!" Fang Tangtang waved her hand.

"..." Gao Neng.

’Can you really play it like that?’

’No way, right?’

"It’s just that there is one thing I do not understand, Princess. Why are you here, instead of staying in Dark Night Elf City?" Ah Bing asked, his respectful attitude unchanged.

"This princess goes where she pleases. Is that any of your business? Since you’re here to propose marriage, you should hurry up and do it. It wouldn’t be good if the Hill Giant Race beat you to it," Fang Tangtang said with a haughty expression.

"..." Ah Bing’s expression shifted again. "Princess, is it possible you don’t know who we are here to propose to?"

It wasn’t just him; the expressions of all the Cave Race members turned exceedingly strange.

"Of course this princess knows! Now hurry along, and don’t worry about me. If you don’t get lost now, don’t blame this princess for being rude!" Fang Tangtang waved her hand grandly, gesturing for them to scram.

"She’s an impostor!"

"Impersonating the Seventh Princess? Die!"

"Kill them!"

In an instant, the peaceful atmosphere shattered.

Whether it was Ah Bing or the warriors who had stopped, they all jolted as if shocked the moment they heard Fang Tangtang’s last sentence.

They snapped to their senses in an instant.

"MEOW!!!" Gao Xiaomeng let out a cry.

"Holy crap, Fang Tangtang, you’ve really blown it!" Gao Neng was so frustrated he wanted to grab Fang Tangtang and throw her. ’Why the hell did you have to impersonate a princess?’

He’d pretended to be a "commoner," and wasn’t that going just fine?

All they’d asked was for them to lead the way. But no, Fang Tangtang had to go and impersonate a princess. And as a result, she’d barely said two sentences before her cover was blown.

"Huh? My cover was blown?! Impossible! I did my research beforehand. The Dark Night Elf Clan really does have a Seventh Princess, and she’s about my age. I even heard she’s the number one beauty of the Dark Night Elf Clan! How could my cover have been blown?" Fang Tangtang seemed genuinely confused.

But that didn’t stop her from running.

In fact, the moment they said they were going to kill her, she was already gone.

And she’d made a very decisive escape.

"She’s fast!" Gao Neng didn’t hesitate either and broke into a run. "Fang Tangtang, are you an idiot? Think about the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan’s status! Why would she possibly be here? You, the Seventh Princess, not staying put in Dark Night Elf City, but running out to a battlefield to kill wolves for fun? Who would ever believe that?"

He was truly fuming.

’Even an idiot would know that!’

"Even if you had to impersonate someone, you should have pretended to be a commoner or a general or something!"

’Wait.’

’Speaking of generals...’

’I think I actually know one!’

"How dare you trick us! Stop! You will die today for sure!" Ah Bing shouted as he led the Cave Race warriors in pursuit.

Gao Neng unleashed his Spiritual Power.

He could clearly feel Ah Bing chasing him. His speed was incredible—at least that of a fifth-tier powerhouse.

If he hadn’t learned the life-saving technique > beforehand, he would have been a dead man today.

So, he felt he had to do something.

"It’s not that we tricked you, it’s that you Cave Race are just too stupid! Didn’t you know this whole marriage proposal event is actually a sham?"

"A sham?! What are you talking about! Explain yourself!" Ah Bing’s face changed drastically.

This sudden public call for marriage proposals from the Seventh Princess of the Dark Night Elf Clan had been a rather unbelievable event for the other races to begin with.

However, the beauty of the Seventh Princess of the Elves was renowned among the alien races.

As the number one beauty of the Dark Night Elf Clan and the Elf Queen’s most beloved princess, how could the other alien races not take a chance, even if they felt something was off?

Most importantly, marrying the Seventh Princess of the Elves meant forming a marriage alliance with the Dark Night Elf Clan, which could even lead to pulling the Dark Night Elf Clan under the control of the Celestial Race in the future.

The temptation was simply too great!

Even though all the alien races had their doubts, they still sent marriage delegations one after another.

"Huh? They actually believe me?" Gao Neng was a little surprised. He had just blurted out some nonsense because he figured the alien races weren’t united, but he hadn’t expected such a strong reaction.

’Could it be that this marriage proposal really is a sham?’

’If that’s the case...’

’...then I’d better add a few more lines.’

At this thought, Gao Neng immediately shouted again, "Hahaha, of course it’s a sham! You’ve all been tricked by us, the Celestial Race! But it’s too late for you, even if you know now. Lady Mu Feifei has already laid a trap. You’re all doomed! Every single one of you will die!"

"The Celestial Race?! Mu Feifei? You’re from the Celestial Race?" Ah Bing was clearly, truly shocked. He of course knew who Mu Feifei was.

And most importantly, he had once heard that it was Mu Feifei who had proposed this public call for marriage proposals for the Seventh Princess of the Elves in the first place.

"Duh! Our noble Celestial Race is nothing like you Northern Cave Race! Do you know what our Celestial Race’s greatest ability is?" Gao Neng yelled, seeing his opponent falling deeper into the trap.

"What is it?"

"Hahaha, we’re fast runners!" After saying this, Gao Neng paid them no more mind. He lifted his feet, and two faint, phantom-like ’ghost feet’ appeared.

The Second Realm of >.

The Ghost Foot Realm!

It didn’t last long, but a few minutes was more than enough on the mountain.

Gao Neng pushed himself to his top speed. His two ghost feet seemed to generate wind as they moved, making him look like he was gliding just above the ground.

In just a few blinks of an eye, he caught up to Fang Tangtang.

Fang Tangtang’s eyes nearly popped out of her head. ’Gao Neng is faster than me again?’

’But I had a head start!’

Gritting her teeth, she played her trump card.

She quickly swallowed a medicinal pill.

Then, a pair of faint, shimmering wings of light sprouted from her back...

"SWISH!" Fang Tangtang’s speed exploded.

"One is gliding above the ground?! The other has wings? They really are from the Celestial Race!" Watching this scene, Ah Bing gritted his teeth. Their speed was truly astonishing.
