At that time, he was in a good mood.
He did not lose his dignity in the competition, and he also succeeded in getting the Emerald Sky Pearl. How could he not be happy?
"Jade Immortal!"
Princess Dorothy bit her lips and wanted to say something seeing his complacent look but stopped on second thought. "I think you should thank Lute Belle."
"Thank her?"
Jade Immortal was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded. "Yes, I should thank her. If she didn't agree to the competition, I wouldn't have had a choice."
He still thought he had won with his own ability.
Princess Dorothy was agitated and shook her head. "No, she let you win on purpose. I saw her stop at the last moment.
"She's being nice. She was afraid that you'd look bad if you were to lose, so she lost to you on purpose."
Princess Dorothy had not wanted to tell him, but she was upright and could not help but speak out when she saw the proud look on Jade Immortal's face.
What?
Jade Immortal was stunned and felt his brain buzz.
Did Lute Belle lose to him on purpose?
'No, she can't do that. I have to win with my own strength and ability. It's too embarrassing to have someone else let me win on purpose,' Jade Immortal thought.
He shouted as he ran after Lute Belle, 'Wait a minute, Lute Belle. Wait for me.'
Princess Dorothy was speechless.
It was a mental field day trying to figure out what Jade Immortal was thinking. Was his dignity so important to him?
At the same time, she felt a little regretful for telling him the truth.
If she had known that he would chase after Lute Belle, she would not have said anything.
...
Meanwhile, in a valley, dozens of kilometers away from Mount Snowood, Archfiend Antigonus, the twelve Fiend Martyrs, and less than twenty thousand demon soldiers rested there temporarily.
Archfiend Antigonus had been searching for the whereabouts of the demons, but he had no clue at all.
...
In the forest, a tired figure was moving forward. His body was covered with blood, and he looked tired and weak. It was Grunt.
After escaping from the Imperial Sky Palace, Grunt did not stop moving forward. He kept running ahead until he was close to Mount Snowood and almost out of strength. Only then did he gradually slow down.
When he realized no one was chasing after him, Grunt took a deep breath. Then, he found an open space. He sat down cross-legged to recover his strength.
Soon, he had entered a state of trance.
After a long time, Grunt slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of stale air, and a smile appeared on his face.
He had finally recovered more than half his strength. Even if he faced the pursuers from the Imperial Sky Palace, he did not have to be afraid of them.
Grunt muttered to himself as he slowly stood up and continued to walk toward Mount Snowood.
When he was about to reach Mount Snowood, he was stunned at the scene in front of him. He could not help but gasp.
He saw two huge stone carvings standing beside Mount Snowood. The two stone statues were both a thousand meters tall and were carved into the shape of a man and a woman.
