Chapter 589 - 474: This Transformation... Is Really Freaking Awesome

The High Mountain King personally hosted Mu Feifei and Wu Dingxiang.

The banquet was a lengthy affair. Amidst the laughter and cheer, both parties drank for nearly four hours with no end in sight.

Dusk had begun to fall.

In the North District, the snow was falling harder and harder.

Wu Dingxiang glanced at the snow outside the window before turning to Mu Feifei. "Sister Feifei, the High Mountain King just suggested we stay here for two nights. He also offered to show us the scenery of the high mountains... What do you think?"

"..." Mu Feifei remained silent.

Because the High Mountain King was already striding toward her and Wu Dingxiang.

"Ninth Princess!" the High Mountain King began.

He was a middle-aged man with a single horn on his head. He was incredibly tall, well over three meters, and was draped in a thick animal hide.

"I already understand your intentions, High Mountain King." Mu Feifei did not rise from her seat. Instead, she casually picked up the fruit wine before her and took a small sip.

"Hahaha, the Ninth Princess is as straightforward as they say! In that case, I invite both Princesses to stay with our clan for the next two days. This King will personally..."

"No, you misunderstand, High Mountain King. Ding Xiang and I will be leaving at dawn." Mu Feifei gently shook her head, cutting the High Mountain King off.

"Leaving at dawn? Why the rush? Did the Fourth Prince wish for you to..."

"Your insistence that we stay for two more days, High Mountain King... is that the will of the Fourth Prince of the Blood Race?" Mu Feifei asked, speaking again.

"Of... of course not."

"Oh, then I understand. It is the will of the Blood Race King." Mu Feifei nodded, then leaned back slightly in her chair.

"That’s not it either, of course. Why would the Clan King possibly issue such an order? The two of you have traveled a great distance. This King merely wishes to extend his hospitality..."

"The North District’s 200,000-strong Allied Army was defeated at the City of Hope, wasn’t it?" Mu Feifei’s gaze fell upon the High Mountain King.

"Ninth Princess... so you already knew." The High Mountain King’s brow furrowed, and he let out a sigh. "Yes, we lost. But the Blood Race’s losses weren’t significant..."

"Losing a Tier 9 expert isn’t considered significant?" Mu Feifei’s gaze was as sharp as a blade.

"Hahaha... Since the Ninth Princess knows everything, then This King has nothing more to say. Yes, the Clan King’s message is this: the North District has been rather chaotic these past two days. For your safety, he asks that both Princesses refrain from traveling and remain in the Royal City for the time being!" The High Mountain King paused for a moment, then laughed heartily once more.

"For how long?"

"Two days."

"Is that enough?"

"Absolutely!"

"Very well. We will abide by the High Mountain King’s arrangements." Mu Feifei nodded. Without further argument, she rose and walked toward the exit.

The Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang, quickly apologized to the High Mountain King before hurrying after her.

The High Mountain King waved his hand dismissively. Only after Mu Feifei and Wu Dingxiang had left did he slowly turn his gaze to the High Mountain Race Elders gathered around him.

"The latest battle report! The Human Race’s army has attacked Ice City of the Ice and Snow Race!"

"The Human Race dares to launch a full-scale offensive?"

"Yes. And I’ve heard... one of the Strongest has already rushed to the battlefield. I don’t have more specific details yet, but I suspect one of the Strongest will make a move in this war. Therefore, we must protect the two Princesses with our lives! Do you understand?" As he finished, a light gleamed in the High Mountain King’s eyes.

"Yes, understood!"

...

The North District covered an extremely vast area.

In terms of cities alone, there were nearly a hundred.

Furthermore, due to its unique geography, it was perennially frozen. This made the ground in the North District far more solid than in other regions; many areas were frozen into solid blocks of ice.

Under these circumstances, trying to travel underground by burrowing alone would be quite difficult.

After all, digging through solid ice was far too slow.

"What kind of technique is this? It can just... transform me?" Gao Neng looked at Gao Xiaomeng, who had taken on the appearance of Wu Dingxiang, and then touched his own face.

It was smooth.

It was soft.

This was definitely not some human-skin mask.

Instead, it had truly altered his skin and bones.

"The human body is made of water," Gao Xiaomeng said with a blink. She wiggled her hips and struck a captivating pose.

"And?" Gao Neng asked casually.

"Water can take any shape. And as it happens... I have the ability to control any and all water," Gao Xiaomeng added.

’Because you’re just a blob of water yourself, or maybe a blob of energy, right?’ Gao Neng didn’t say this out loud, merely snarking to himself.

But in truth, he was quite surprised.

He had to rely on his "hacks" to hide other people’s energy signatures, but Gao Xiaomeng? She could help others transform without any hacks at all.

That was just absurd!

Gao Neng picked up the mirror again and took a look.

In the mirror, he had completely transformed into Mu Feifei, right down to the pair of pure white wings on his back.

"How come you two get to be princesses, while I have to be a lowly servant?!" a disgruntled voice complained from behind Gao Neng.

"You’re a personal handmaiden!" Gao Neng corrected.

There was quite a significant difference between a lowly servant and a handmaiden.

"Then why am I, the great Death God Fang Tangtang, the only one who has to be a handmaiden? I want to be a princess too!" Fang Tangtang was clearly unhappy, pouting dramatically.

"Because Gao Neng doesn’t know how to do makeup," Gao Xiaomeng said, pointing at Gao Neng.

"What’s wrong with not knowing how to do makeup?" Fang Tangtang asked, confused.
