The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were extremely nervous, and they had nothing to do with the dangers inside and outside the cave.

The devils were outside the Cave of Fate, and they could do nothing but hope that the weird bird would not perform magic and disturb these fierce creatures outside. In that case, they would not be under the attacks of both inside and outside the cave, and they could be left with a little chance of survival.

At this moment, no sound could be made at all. Even if there was no hope of life, they did not want to disturb the devils outside. Otherwise, once Jiuyou Sage found out that the woman he had been searching for was inside this cave, he would cast magic to break the seal and break in. As a result, she and he were sure to be tormented and bullied mercilessly, and their death would be more miserable.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were praying silently that the shelter would remain. Although this place was small, they could hide for a while.

The devil outside was really Jiuyou Sage. It was obvious that during Shikong’s fight with the weird bird, the huge sound disturbed Jiuyou Sage. So, he hurried to see what happened and seize the one he hated and loved.

In the Cave of Fate, the weird bird was flying above, ready to attack them at any moment.

Outside the cave, the fierce creatures were watching and waiting, and they would let go of anything suspicious.

Inside and outside the cave, it was so dangerous that they had no way to cope with it. They were extremely nervous and the atmosphere of terror was suffocating.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were already in a desperate situation, and they would soon be found.

If there was another fight in the Cave of Fate, even though they got away with the weird bird, they would disturb Jiuyou Sage. When he found out that the one he had been searching for was here, he would be sure to rush in with violence.

Perhaps, the sealed entrance had changed, and it was unable to stop the devil breaking the magic.

Besides, even if the devil could not break the seal and went into the cave, he would also be waiting outside. So, these two people had little chance to change the situation, let alone the hope of survival.

In fears, Zhang Yunyan thought of the surprising and strange sika deer, and the old woman who claimed to be half an immortal. Black Tiger and she ended up being like this all because of the old woman and the demon deer. When she thought of this, she was boiling with rage, and she began to curse secretly.

Such being the case, Yunyan was deceived and was pushed into the Devil’s Cave, so it was useless to shout and curse angrily. She had to face the reality.

The reality was too cruel and merciless. Black Tiger had died, and soon she would leave this world, too. The tragic ending could not be changed, and she was unable to change. All she could do was to accept fate.

Feeling both painful and despaired, Zhang Yunyan was angry, and she would never forget those unfinished vows. In the horrible “Hell”, the missions of the Zhang family and the Lin family and the ambition of her life would also be gone with the ending of her life.

The weird bird was still hovering above, looking for chances to attack them. The dangers might come in the blink of an eye.

What should she do at this critical moment?

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were very nervous. With no way to escape, they could only hope in their hearts that the weird bird did not perform any magic at this time and disturb the devil outside. Otherwise, they would be attacked from inside and outside.

They prayed that the dangerous situation would quickly come to an end so that they would survive. Even though it was a pipe dream, they would never give up. If the weird bird would not let go of them, they hoped that it would not attack them at this time, and it was not late to do so after Jiuyou Sage left.

Outside the Cave of Fate, there was a voice saying, “Well, Turtle Elf, why don’t you go to search for her and instead sit here? If you miss the chance, you will face the consequences.”

Turtle Elf was very nervous and also afraid. It responded quickly, “Sage, I have been searching for her, and I just came here.”

In fear, it began to explain, but at the same time, it also began to think about the appropriate ways to deal with it.

“What happened just now? It was so loud that the cave was shaking?”

“It is…” Turtle Elf was trying to conceive of a plan, but it had no time. It had to answer, “Oh, I made that noise just now. It’s terrible.”

“Oh, you did? What do you mean?” The devil asked it again, still in doubt.

“That’s true. I’ve been searching and I couldn’t find the man and the woman, which was suspicious. When I passed by, I wanted to hear if there was any sound in the sealed cave, but I was too close to the cave and triggered the magic of the seal. I was beaten so badly that I’m still in pain and can’t move.”

“I see. You’re just asking for trouble.” The old devil is very discontented, glaring at Turtle Elf.

“Oh, it was my fault. I was not careful enough so that I got a heavy blow and even disturbed you. I really shouldn’t have done that.”

Turtle Elf pretended to say that in pain, and it slowly stood up to bow to Jiuyou Sage, “Please forgive me, Sage!”

The old devil glared at the Turtle Elf, feeling a little discouraged. He looked at the sealed cave and asked, “Is something wrong inside?”

Seeing that Jiuyou Sage was suspicious of the Cave of Fate, Turtle Elf was a little surprised secretly. Well, because it was not careful enough when it talked to Jiuyou Sage, he became suspicious. Instead of dispelling the old devil’s doubts, it got into more troubles.

“No, no.” It said quickly, “Sage, you knew that since you came here, there had been nothing strange or suspicious in this cave. Just now, I was too worried, and it was unnecessary.”

Frowning, Jiuyou Sage looked at Turtle Elf without speaking, and he seemed to be thinking of something.

Turtle Elf said again, “Sage, since we have been searching for the woman for so long, and found nothing. She must have escaped from the cave. Unfortunately, I don’t know who saved her or how she escaped.”

“You mean that the woman escaped? No way. If so, who would take the risk of saving her?” Jiuyou Sage shook his head, and said, “No, the cave is tightly closed, and no one can find it or break in. Besides, if anyone is bold enough to enter the cave, we will notice that, and there would be warning.”

Jiuyou Sage didn’t believe that Zhang Yunyan had escaped, and he would not accept the result from the bottom of his heart. But after searching for so long without any result, he began to lose his confidence.

Looking at the Cave of Fate, Jiuyou Sage found that the wall opposite to him was still the same, and the cave was as quiet as in the past. He shook his head and snorted secretly, not believing that an ordinary woman of no ability could break through the powerful seal and enter the cave.

The woman had no power to break the powerful seal, and if she dared to break in, she would be severely attacked, and even if she was not killed, she would get hurt. Moreover, she also took a man in a coma, and the result was that both of them would die.

In the Cave of Fate, the weird bird seemed not to hear the noise outside, nor did it pay attention to the noise that had nothing to do with it. It was watching and waiting for the chance to kill the man in front of it.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were hiding in the corner, not daring to move. They could only face the coming attacks.

They were afraid to disturb Jiuyou Sage and then get killed. So, they did not let go of every move of the weird bird and also the situation outside the cave.

These two people were nervous and anxious for they had no ability to stop the attacks of the weird bird. They just hoped that it would attack them later, and would not disturb the devil outside.

Outside the Cave of Fate, Jiuyou Sage was a little fatigue, perhaps a little discouraged, but he had no intention of leaving. He walked back and forth before the entrance, thinking and wondering something that no one could know.

Seeing that Jiuyou Sage was reluctant to leave, Turtle Elf was a little worried that there might be a fight in the Cave of Fate, or something unexpected might happen. If Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were exposed because of this, the consequences would be terrible, and even it would be involved in trouble.

In addition, if the devils were here to guard the entrance, it would have no chance to send food and water to Zhang Yunyan and Shikong, and in the end, they would die of hunger or thirst.

Turtle Elf was anxious to find ways. It must ask the old devil to leave as soon as possible and solve the crisis inside and outside the cave. However, it had no right to determine the actions of Jiuyou Sage, and it could only be commanded by him. What could it do?

The devil was here, and the situation was threatening. Dangers could happen at any time. What could be done?

Turtle Elf was restless. In order to save these two young people, Turtle Elf must figure out a way to get Jiuyou Sage away.

It tried so hard to think, and suddenly an idea came across its mind. It didn’t know if it would work out, but time was running out. So it could only try, hoping that it could succeed.

Turtle Elf said, “Sage, we have been searching for so long, and basically everywhere of the cave was searched. However, we still fail to find the woman, which is suspicious. I was wondering if there was some place that we forgot to search. I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?”

Hearing that, Jiuyou Sage stopped to look at Turtle Elf, “Oh, just tell me whatever you want to say whether it was feasible or not. I want to hear it, and perhaps it’s useful.”

Turtle Elf said, “I think if the woman did not escape from the cave and we couldn’t find her. It means that there are some places that we haven’t checked. Sage, shall we go to these places to find her?”

Jiuyou Sage was vigilant suddenly, “Say it now. Where are the places that you think we may ignore?”

“I suppose that the dwellings of you and the Four King Ghosts and the place of cultivation haven’t been searched. Why don’t you go there and have a look? Maybe you can find something.”

“What? Do you suspect that she dared to hide in these places?”

“I can’t tell. There is no place to hide, no place to hide with us searching everywhere, and we can’t find her, which is strange. The woman may think that the safest place is the place where people ignore most. Perhaps she is now hiding there. As the saying goes, ‘The most dangerous place is also the safest place.’”

“Oh, there is this kind of saying?”

“Yes, I heard of it before. It’s safe because dangerous places are easiest to be ignored. Sage, you cannot ignore these places.”

“Well, that’s right. Your proposal is very good and timely. I’ll just go and check those places and make sure there’s nowhere I ignored, so that the woman has nowhere to hide.”

Seeing that the old devil was eager to follow its advice, Turtle Elf was happy and it was a little relieved that Zhang Yunyan and Shikong would be safe again.

However, Jiuyou Sage was still here. He was thinking and maybe was up to something else.

Time was running out silently, and these they were nervous and anxious. In front of the Cave of Fate, it was silent except for the footsteps of the devil, which made the silence more terrible and frightening.
