Wild Malicious Consort: Good For Nothing Ninth Miss

Before long, not a single magic beast could seen on the battlefield, except for those dead ones on the ground.

Yun Wu looked in the direction of the phoenix\'s receding figure. When she withdrew her gaze, a relieved look appeared on her face.

How could she not feel relieved when that little thing that kept calling her mom was no longer around?

She leisurely turned around and planned to return to Luo City.

But the moment she turned around, she saw hundreds of thousands of troops in front of her, eyes of every one of whom were fixed on her.

In those eyes gleamed surprise, curiosity and puzzlement. They were all sizing her up...

Being watched by so many people, Yun Wu furrowed her eyebrows.

At this moment, an officer followed by a couple of soldiers walked up to her.

"May I ask you something, Lady?"

Yun Wu flicked a glimpse at the man who was barely in his thirties, crossed her arms across her chest and said in a languid, bland voice, "What is it?"

"Who are you? Was it you who stole the egg of the phoenix?" the officer queried in a commanding voice, sizing her up with piercing eyes.

It sounded more like an interrogation than a query.

Yun Wu peered at the clothing that officer was wearing and believed that he was probably a deputy general.

She curved her lips in a half smile. "Deputy general, why am I having this feeling that you\'re not \'asking\' me but \'interrogating\' me? What\'s going on here? You want to interrogate me on this battlefield? Did I kill anybody or burn anybody\'s house? Or did I rob your family members?"

On hearing this, that deputy general frowned and his face slightly darkened.

"Lady, in a circ.u.mstance like this, you\'re still in the mood for joking? Do you have any idea how many residents and our soldiers got killed because of what you did?"

After hearing this, Yun Wu lifted her eyebrows, but a flash of apathy crossed the bottom of her eyes.

Because of what she did?

Had she done anything? Even if she had, given her manner and style, it was not a deputy general\'s place to interrogate her like interrogating a prisoner, not to mention that she hadn\'t done anything.

Besides, she didn\'t know about these things at all.

"So deputy general is telling me that I should have a sad look on my face because of all those people who got killed, aren\'t you? It is just that there\'s one thing that I don\'t quite understand. Did those people\'s deaths have anything to do with me?"

"Did their deaths have anything to do with you? Do you know that the very reason why they were killed was because you stole the phoenix egg?"

Yun Wu pretended that light had suddenly dawned on her. She raise her eyes and looked at that deputy general. "Oh! Now I understand. So deputy general is saying it is those who stole the phoenix egg that deserve death penalty!"

"But I want to ask deputy general – how can you be so sure that I was the one who stole the phoenix egg? I mean, even you and these hundreds of thousands of troops couldn\'t steal the egg from the phoenix. You actually think that a little girl like me, whose arms and legs are so thin, somehow managed to steal the egg from that divine beast?"

"Does deputy general by any chance think that all these troops of yours are just a bunch of good-for-nothing fatheads who can\'t even compare with a little girl? Or does deputy general think that I\'m a reincarnation of some G.o.d who is more powerful than all these troops combined? If the latter is the case, that will be a huge compliment I don\'t deserve, and I will feel flattered and honored."
