The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Chapter 199 More Dangers
Time was running out. That evil stone stayed there with no reaction, and it seemed lifeless like other ordinary jade. No one knew whether its soul had slid away, or it was pretending to hide itself and deceive others. Perhaps, when the time came, it might begin to act as wildly as it had just done.

The two sides were in confrontation, with one side staying silent and motionless, the other being nervous and frightened, ready to take deadly blows.

This was the silence before war, which strongly stung their tight nerves. Zhang Yunyan and Shikong found it hard to bear, but they had to bear. No one knew when and how this confrontation would come to an end.

Then, Zhang Yunyan finally made her move. She secretly told Shikong to stay here, and then went over to the evil stone alone.

She was very nervous, but also a little confident that as the evil stone didn’t attack her when it was flying, it perhaps would not attack her at this moment.

Yunyan no longer hesitated, and she went to the bulging rock step by step, carefully looking at the monster.

The prey was approaching, but the evil stone made no response, nor was there any sign of movement. It looked like a piece of ordinary jade, but with the “stars” inside.

It was strange that it did not respond to the intruders, and paid no heed to the alien beings in front of it. Was it asleep, or was it up to something else?

Anyway, as the evil stone had not launched an attack yet, Zhang Yunyan felt a little relaxed. She watched it vigilantly, ready to defend the stone’s sudden attack so that she could protect her benefactor timely.

At this moment, Zhang Yunyan and the evil stone was close so she could see it clearly.

The evil stone was aggressive, but now it was motionless as if it were dead, which was suspicious.

Yunyan had fully confirmed that it was a piece of translucent green jade, and she was sure of it. There were countless “stars” of various colors distributed everywhere inside the stone and were shining brightly.

Yunyan still didn’t understand why the pair of wings disappeared without a trace. It was too strange, weird and even unbelievable.

Zhang Yunyan was watching it carefully. Her facial expression was full of surprise and suspicion. She was unable to solve the bizarre mystery.

This jade looked very ordinary with nothing special. There was no sign of life, so how could it be so powerful? Why could it grow wings to fly around and was as terrifying as a monster?

She did not understand. The jade looked ordinary, but was exceptionally fierce. It was a fussy elf, and she couldn’t be confused by its false appearance.

Yunyan was watching it vigilantly, and she was still nervous. She was a little afraid that the monster would fly to her and perform magic to attack them suddenly.

During her observation, Zhang Yunyan found another thing that made her surprised and confused.

It turned out that the surface of the jade on both sides were not flat. They were engraved with words.

As she read it, she recognized the words. On one side of the stone, there was a big word of fate; on the other side were a few lines of small words, which were hard to decipher.

It was strange. Why were there also the words of fate on this evil stone?

Zhang Yunyan once learned from Turtle Elf that those words of fate in the cave, large or small were not carved by Jiuyou Sage and the devils. Instead, they were carved by the master who once lived here, and these words were all made from ancient time.

In this case, the words on this jade must also be carved by the master. The words of fate were the proof.

In addition, the Cave of Fate had been sealed for such a long time, and the devils had no access to it. It was impossible for them to leave this piece of jade with words.

This jade had magic and was powerful. The mysterious and strange things hidden under it were suspicious.

The reclusive master was unknown to anyone and was mysterious. What he left was also mysterious and formidable. The power of the evil stone was so frightening. So, it could be seen that the master was more powerful, and no one could rival.

At this time, Shikong had come to Zhang Yunyan quietly.

When he saw that the jade was motionless and paid no attention to Zhang Yunyan, and did not fly up to attack him, Shikong felt relieved. Seeing that the jade was motionless and there was no sign of danger, he couldn’t help waiting and then took the risk of coming here to see what was going on.

Beside Zhang Yunyan, Shikong watched the evil stone carefully, and he was also very puzzled.

This jade had magic and was powerful. The mysterious and strange things hidden under it were suspicious.

The “weird bird” had not moved or performed magic since it landed on the bulging rock. No one knew why it had become so quiet.

At this time, these two people had come in front of it, but it still ignored them, regardless of their observation. This stone could stand such indulgence of them. It seemed that its nature had changed a lot.

Shikong was especially more puzzled. Just then, the jade was determined to take his life, but at this moment when he was standing in front of it, it was so quiet. It was strange.

Why did this evil stone lose interest to the monk that it used to “be fond of”? Its disposition had changed in an instant. How could this happen?

Perhaps, because of the continuous movement and attack, it was exhausted and was no longer able to perform magic. At this time, unable to move, this evil stone returned to the state of ordinary jade, at least temporarily.

Although Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were in speculation and discussion, they still did not know why. But they dared not to relax themselves.

Time passed, and the sense of terror lingered. In the Cave of Fate, it was dim, silent, terrible, and frightening.

The jade was motionless, looking very calm. There seemed to be no difference to ordinary stones.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong felt at ease. Looking at the strange jade, they exchanged their own views, but the puzzles in their hearts were still unsolved.

Shikong thought that those words carved on the jade must be very important, and they were probably the recordings about the history of the jade. Perhaps they could know some secrets from them.

He calmed himself down and reached for the jade. He wanted to see what the words on it were, to find out the origin of the jade, and to find out the secret in the Cave of Fate.

The moment he touched the jade, there was suddenly red light. In the blink of an eye, Shikong was hit more than ten meters away until he fell to the ground and rolled several times before he stopped.

Suddenly, he got hit, and felt painful all over his body. He was very frightened and shocked, looking at the jade which was performing magic.

Zhang Yunyan was instantly shocked, and she hurried to protect Shikong. Seeing that her benefactor was not seriously injured, she was relieved.

She looked again at the jade which still stood motionless on the bulging rock. It seemed that the jade did not want to fly up and attack Shikong yet. She was a little relieved that she did not see those cloud-like wings.

Currently, these two people were sure that the spirit of the evil stone was still in it, and nor was the stone asleep. Instead, its magic was still powerful, and it was ready to attack the prey at any time since it still wanted to kill people.

In the face of the terrible evil stone, Yunyan was watching it vigilantly. She was still nervous, not daring to relax.

Shikong stretched himself and pressed his body everywhere. He let out a sigh of relief when he found he was fine except for a few bruises because of the bump.

Looking at the evil stone with magic, these two people didn’t know what to do, and they could only continue the stalemate.

The evil stone was unusual. It was too powerful to resist. Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were nervous and frightened, not daring to act rashly again.

They stared at the evil stone in confusion. When the weird bird turned into a piece of jade which was quiet as an ordinary stone, how could it suddenly attack them?

It seemed that the monster had been awake all the time, and it had been watching them and thinking about ways to destroy them.

The two of them were in the danger of death. They could not be deceived by the illusion, and must be vigilant at any time.

Looking at the terrible evil stone, they were very puzzled. Since the internal force of jade had not exhausted, why didn’t it fly up to attack them?

Before that, this monster was determined to attack and kill Shikong. But because of Zhang Yunyan’s protection, it failed many times and had to give up for a while.

At this moment, it did not let go of the monk and was still trying to kill Shikong. Its malicious intention had not changed.

However, it was strange that before Shikong touched the jade, why didn’t it take the initiative to attack? This monster had been watching Shikong instead of Zhang Yunyan. Was it really hostile to Buddhists?

They did not know why the evil stone was like this and whether it hated monks. Although it has not attacked Zhang Yunyan, she could not confirm that the evil stone was only interested in men, so she had to be on guard.

Since it landed on this bulging rock, the monster had not made any attack, and for some reason it had changed its attitude and started to attack Shikong.

What was it thinking about? What was it up to?

Since the jade came from such a long time ago, it might be the relic of the reclusive master, and its strange behavior might have something to do with him. The words of fate were the proof.

Since the words on the evil stone were carved by the master, it might belong to him. And it would follow the order of the master to kill anyone who broke into the Cave of Fate.

Perhaps, the master was once deeply hurt by the Buddhists, so he was so hateful that the jade also hated monks.

How the evil stone followed the command of the master might have already been determined, which was also an unknown secret. It would never allow intruders to survive.

No one knew whether they were right or wrong, except the master who could solve the mystery.

In the Cave of Fate, it was more frightening. As the tension between both sides was eased, they suddenly became tense again.

Looking at the evil stone in concentration, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were alert, not daring to distract themselves.

They heard the nervous sound of questioning outside the cave, but they dared not to respond.

At the moment, Turtle Elf was more than nervous and anxious, and it thought that Zhang Yunyan and Shikong had already died. The loud sound just then was so terrifying that it thought the two young people might have disappeared.

It sat on the ground in pain, feeling weak and sad again…

In the Devil’s Cave, the sound of the jade performing magic was echoing everywhere and spreading in all directions. The cave trembled slightly. No one knew what dangers and disasters it might incur…
