Chapter 275 Your Highness is still the same Your Highness
Upon hearing Shadow Demon's words, everyone fell silent. They hadn't thought things through and had almost put His Highness in danger.
“Let’s catch up with them first and follow behind His Highness so that he knows we’ve all come out,” Shadow Demon said slowly to his companions, and no one objected.
Shadow Fiend can be considered Shang Ming's strategist. Shang Ming listens to him on many matters, and as Shang Ming's subordinate, he also respects Shadow Fiend.
Just as Li Tianhen was piloting the spirit boat towards the Four Gods Sect, they were unaware that a group of people were following behind them.
"I'm tired, let's find a town to rest in today." After traveling for several days, Li Tianhen sensed something and controlled the spirit boat to land.
"Do you want to rest?" Si Nansheng pouted.
“Yeah, even if we don’t need to rest, the spirit boat has been flying for several days, so it needs to rest too.” Li Tianhen’s words made no sense at all, which made Si Nansheng roll her eyes.
"Master, isn't a spirit boat just a matter of having enough spirit stones? Why would we need to rest?" Si Nansheng pouted, looking at Li Tianhen with dissatisfaction.
Li Tianhen could have just said he wanted to slack off. Saying that the spirit boat needed to rest was going too far!
However, Li Tianhen didn't feel embarrassed at all that he had been exposed; it wasn't like he really needed to rest.
Shang Ming looked behind them, seemingly understanding what Li Tianhen meant.
"Sister, can we find a place to rest? It's been so boring sitting on the spirit boat these past few days." Shang Ming looked at Si Nansheng pitifully. Although Si Nansheng was still hesitant, she agreed.
Since they were far from any towns, Si Nansheng and his companions decided to camp and rest outside.
I might as well go and see if there's anything good around.
Bai Ye and Si Nansheng went to find something, while Shang Ming and Li Tianhen waited near the flying boat to prepare food.
After Bai Ye and Si Nansheng had walked away, Li Tianhen looked at Shang Ming.
"Go check it out, they're probably looking for you."
“But…” Shang Ming looked in the direction Si Nansheng had left.
"Don't worry, when she comes back, I'll make her wait for you. Be careful that they don't easily reveal their demonic energy. This girl is very sensitive to demonic energy. Come back soon, don't make her anxious."
Li Tianhen smiled at Shang Ming, reassuring him. Shang Ming nodded gratefully to Li Tianhen and turned to leave.
Li Tianhen sighed. He wondered what earth-shattering things would happen when Si Nansheng found out the truth!
"Your Highness, how come..." Shadow Demon was somewhat shocked to see Shang Ming suddenly appear in front of them.
Where is their prince's handsome and imposing height? How did he become such a tiny little guy?
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you're conserving your strength. Why are you here?" Shang Ming's face was icy cold, a far cry from the smile he had when facing Si Nansheng.
"After you were injured, we searched everywhere for you while hiding from the Heavenly Demon's men, but we couldn't find you."
Later, we all hid in the shadow of Lord Shadow Demon and escaped through the gap between the human and demon realms.
"It wasn't until a few days ago that we suddenly sensed your presence, but then it disappeared again. So we followed your presence here. Your Highness, let's leave together. The Demon Realm needs you."
The Shadow Demon looked at Shang Ming. The Heavenly Demon's rule was too brutal, and the people of the Demon Realm were living in dire straits. Now, Shang Ming was urgently needed to return and take charge.
"You should hide first. When the time comes, I will go back with you. If you want to come along, remember to hide your demonic energy and don't get discovered."
Si Nansheng's senses are too sharp. The reason he didn't notice that Shadow Demon and the others were following him is probably because Li Tianhen was helping him.
He wanted to clearly explain his identity to Si Nansheng before leaving.
"Your Highness, may I stay by your side and take care of you?" Shadow Demon was anxious when he learned that Shang Ming still had to go back.
“No need, I…” Shang Mingming refused.
"Your Highness, the Shadow Demon can conceal his demonic aura. Let him take care of you."
"Alright, but my identity is just that of a young master being hunted down by his family. Don't call me Your Highness, just call me Young Master."
Shang Ming gave the Shadow Demon instructions, and the Shadow Demon nodded to indicate that he understood.
Shang Ming gave the others some more instructions, telling them to find a place to hide, not to cause trouble, and not to be discovered by human cultivators. Then, he led the Shadow Demon to meet up with Li Tianhen and the others.
"Shang Ming!" Si Nansheng shouted through gritted teeth the moment she saw Shang Ming.
"Wh...what's wrong?" Shang Ming's body suddenly stiffened.
Si Nansheng appeared in front of Shang Ming in an instant and smacked him on the head.
When Shadow Demon saw that his prince had been hit, he was about to take action, but when he saw that Shang Ming was just innocently covering his head and looking at Si Nansheng, he paused.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to be alone in such a large forest? What if you encounter a spirit beast attack? What if you get lost and can't be found?"
Si Nansheng put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Shang Ming, who scratched his head innocently.
"Not next time."
“I hope you can keep your word. But who is he?” Si Nansheng looked at the Shadow Demon standing not far away.
"Oh, he's my butler, Shaoyu. I just found out. He found me a couple of days ago, but he's been following us around the whole time."
Shang Ming told Si Nansheng the words he had thought of on the way, and Si Nansheng looked at Ying Mo with a puzzled expression.
Since he's the butler of the Shangming family, why didn't he just come out and find him? Why did he have to follow behind them?
It's really strange how wealthy families live.
"So, you're leaving?" Si Nansheng turned to look at Shang Ming.
"I'm not leaving for now. I want to go with you to the Four Gods Sect before I leave," Shang Ming said softly. Si Nansheng nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
"Let's have dinner together then," Si Nansheng said to Yingmo after glancing at Shang Ming.
"Yes, I apologize for bothering you, thank you." Shadow Demon thanked Si Nansheng politely, and Si Nansheng simply smiled.
Shang Ming consciously stepped forward to help serve the rice and put the food on the table.
Watching his prince's practiced movements, the Shadow Demon would have thought these people were torturing him if he hadn't seen the smile on his face.
But now, it seems he's simply become accustomed to this kind of life.
The little girl who had just hit His Highness was sitting there leisurely, waiting to eat.
"Sister, have you found anything good?" Shang Ming put the dishes on the table and looked at Si Nansheng.
Upon hearing the name "Shangming," Shadow Demon nearly collapsed to the ground.
Shadow Fiend: Your Highness, you're an old man who's hundreds of years old by human standards, calling a little kid "sister"? Where's your face?
If his subordinates found out, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
Of course, he dared not just say it aloud.
Shang Ming, however, still sensed his thoughts and gave him a cold, piercing look, which made him dismiss his ideas.
As expected, His Highness is still the same His Highness.
"We didn't find anything special, just some herbs. This forest has probably already been visited."
Si Nansheng shrugged. They looked around and found nothing but some herbs.
