The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 516: It’s a good thing that I didn’t find it

 Gradually, fewer bodies were exhumed.

 Finally, one or two animal or human corpses were sporadically unearthed over a period of time.

Pei Hao held the little girl in his arms and patted her back gently, "Wanwan, we didn't find the body of the eldest brother, which means that he may still be alive. He may not be buried here. no?"

"Yes, you are right..."

　Du Wan murmured in his arms.

Pei Hao said softly, "...it's a good thing that we didn't find it."

"Um."

Du Wan replied numbly, a little distracted.

Pei Hao didn't know what to say in terms of comfort, so he could only comfort her silently, letting her gradually calm down, lying in his arms and slowly closing her eyes.

 For three or four days, she had not rested.

 It was impossible not to be tired physically, and it was impossible not to be tired mentally. It was only Du Qian's faith that she found that supported her and kept her from falling.

Du Wan closed her eyes, the only obsession in her mind was to find Du Qian.

 Find Du Qian, find Du Qian, find...

At this moment, she didn’t notice the jade medal around her neck flashing.

Du Wan, who had not paid attention to the jade plaque for a long time, did not know the changes in the jade plaque. The small white Bianhua flower in the center was stained with a touch of gold.

Du Wan didn’t notice it, but Pei Hao witnessed it with his own eyes.

At some point, the jade plaque she was wearing was exposed. It was glowing with golden light. It was a very soft and friendly light that didn't look harmful. Finally, a ray of golden light flew out, penetrated into the little girl's body, and just disappeared?

Pei Hao's heart tightened and he called out tentatively, "Wanwan?"

Du Wan didn’t respond, as if he didn’t hear.

 He noticed the changes in his little face and found that there was no sign of discomfort. He couldn't help but feel relieved a little.

 Everyone around them saw what was going on here.

Many people unconsciously try to make as little noise as possible.

Du Shiyi even wanted to separate the two people. His princess was unmarried, so if they hugged each other in public, it would be fine if the news spread back to the capital.

This girl’s reputation…

Pei Hao looked at Hu San not far away.

Hu San saw the look in his master's eyes and felt very confident and walked over lightly, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

　　"Go and get a piece of cake. It's best to heat it up to make it softer."

Pei Hao ordered in a low voice.

He had asked the Du family before and found out that she had never eaten anything since she came here. Sometimes he would rather the little girl could cry happily instead of making him feel so distressed like she is now.

Hu San’s movements are quite fast.

 After a while, a piece of soft pancake came out, wrapped in a piece of oil paper.

Pei Hao took it and was about to tear off a small piece and stuff it into the little girl's mouth. Only then did he realize how dirty his hands were.

 He couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

Just now he used this hand to comfort the little girl, and also ran it along her back. You don't need to see it with your own eyes to tell that her back must be dirtier.

Hu San was very discerning. He left for a while and came back with a water bag.

Pei Hao used a water bag to wash his hands, and then wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

 When he did this, his movements were very small and careful, trying not to disturb the person lying in his arms. Fortunately, I have Hu San waiting by my side.

Just as he picked up the cake wrapped in oil paper again, he was about to tear off a piece.

 He noticed something unusual in the air around him. The aura around him continued to gather towards him, and finally disappeared into him... no, disappeared into the little girl in his arms. She was like a gold-sucking beast, constantly devouring the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

 Even Du Wan himself did not expect it.

 Her cultivation, which had been stuck, was broken through like this?

Pei Hao was too close to her, and the moment she broke through, he was thrown away by a force, including Hu San who was beside him, and he was also hit by that force.

 “Princess, this is...”

Du Shiyi came quickly from a distance and helped Pei Hao up.

Pei Hao whispered: "Don't disturb her."

"I know." Du Shishi made several gestures to the Du family.

 Some guards from the Du family gathered around and silently protected Du Wan. They all stood around her, several feet away.

　　That's right, at this time, no one dared to come close within a few feet of Du Wan.

She just stood there, her green hair moving without the wind, as if she were alive.

It is not a practitioner, I ca n’t feel the aura, but I can feel the sense of oppression close to Du Wan. It is an unspeakable pressure, which is unconscious.

 At this time, people with low martial arts skills do not consciously stay away.

On the other hand, people with strong martial arts skills, such as Pei Hao and Du Shiyi, can stand closer.

Some people didn't know why, but Pei Hao and Du Shiyi didn't say anything and didn't dare to do anything.

Pei Hao didn't know what kind of skill the little girl practiced. It was terrifyingly powerful. This situation was more powerful than he had ever guessed.

 The light in Du Shishi's eyes flickered even more.

He had heard before that the princess had practiced the secret techniques passed down by her family and had reached the innate state. She could be said to be one of the strongest people in the Qin Dynasty.

 Having not seen it with my own eyes, I have no deep feelings.

 After today, Du Shiyi completely believed it, and even the princess's cultivation level was stronger than the clan knew. As long as the Du family has the protection of the princess, the Du family will have no worries for at least a hundred years.

Just, what was the opportunity for the princess to make a breakthrough just now?

 I was obviously very tired, but suddenly...

Du Shiyi looked at Pei Hao.

Pei Hao's attention has always been on Du Wan.

 After a long time, it finally subsided, and almost all the spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius was absorbed.

Pei Hao noticed that when Du Wan stopped absorbing spiritual energy, the surroundings were still filled with strong spiritual energy. The last spiritual energy was absorbed by the jade token she wore.

 Du Shiyi also noticed this.

The moment he realized it, Du Shiyi's eyes suddenly widened, "That's..."

 Inherited jade tablet? !

Live? Can it also absorb spiritual energy automatically?

 No, is this what the family books say the utensils have spirits? However, people were outside at this time, and there were many outsiders present. Du Shiyi could only suppress the curiosity in his heart and could not expose the matter. However, this issue must be reported back to the clan in time.

 In the future, Du Wan’s importance in the clan will continue to increase.

 The status may be more special.

　　When Du Shiyi thought about this problem, he felt regretful.

Probably the biggest regret is that the princess is a girl and will eventually get married. Many people in the clan are puzzled as to why the inherited jade token only recognizes her?

Standing in the center, Du Wan became the focus and slowly opened her eyes.

A golden light flashed in those calm eyes.

Du Wan soon realized that her cultivation had a breakthrough, and she had an additional ability. Even if she closed her eyes, she could still "see" things within fifty meters around her. This is a bit like the divine consciousness in fantasy novels, or the spiritual power in interstellar novels.

 At the same time, people’s five senses have been sublimated again.
