Chapter 142: The Monarch Surrenders?

With the Five Elements Transmutative Technique and Swallowing Skill, Xinzi had the means to fix Xiao Hu's condition. But not only did he not have access to those methods in his Zhen-body, but even if he did, he wouldn't dare to use them.

If even those under his protection could be harmed or killed at will, then Hengye Zhen might as well be Yuemi's court jester, a boy-toy granted by Yongye to do with as she saw fit. Thousand-Faced God or not, Xinzi wouldn't stand for it, and as the 1,000 faces at his back watched his every move, a succession of plans and countermeasures filled his mind.

Divine Light wrapped Xiao Hu's body, stabilizing her condition before teleporting her back to her chambers. Xinzi's lips curled up, and when his mouth opened again, his voice boomed throughout the Evernight Palace.
