My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1484

Chapter 1484: Totally Inhumane

Just as they passed through a small path in the garden, they saw four to five long-necked zombie cranes swooping down from mid-air.

In her anxiousness, Queen Zhao stared at the shortsword spiritual weapon in her hand and reflexively swung it. The blade shot out by a foot, turning it into a treasured sword, and it just sliced off one of the zombie cranes’ heads without room for objection.

This shortsword spiritual weapon was precisely the one that Qiao Mu had given to her previously.

The giant ape had taken it from Northern Wei’s Fifth Highness as tribute back then, and Qiao Mu regifted it to Queen Zhao. Now, it had saved her life.

As Queen Zhao was wrestling with the remaining zombie cranes, Yi’an had long nabbed an opening to slink away.

By the time Queen Zhao finally finished dealing with those zombie cranes and glanced back, she saw that Yi’an had already run to a building on the other side and was about to step inside.

Queen Zhao also ran over hastily at an above-normal speed. She could not take care of her image while fleeing for her life, and her hair was disheveled from her loose hairpins as she dashed over. Just as she reached the steps, she heard the shrill cries of several zombie cranes from mid-air.

By this time, she was already fatigued in both mind and body after undergoing several battles.

Hence, she did not dare turn her head, and instead, she hastily leaped up the stairs to temporarily hide inside the building with Yi’an.

However, she suddenly saw two iron gates closed shut in front of her.

Queen Zhao stared at those two shut gates in shock, and since she was unable to brake in time, she ended up crashing into the tightly shut gates with a bang. She couldn’t help but beat the gate with her fist as she screamed, “Yi’an, Yi’an, quickly open the door!!”

Yi’an was scared to death, so how did she dare open the door? She hastily pressed against the door with her back and repeatedly shook her head as she trembled in fright, “N-Not possible, Your Majesty. There are to-too many zombie cranes outside. I ca-can’t open the door!”

“Yi’an!” The queen was simply unable to believe her own ears.

That Commandery Princess Yi’an who showed filial devotion to her all day and night and wished for nothing more than to be her daughter-in-law, that gentle, refined, and graceful Commandery Princess Yi’an, actually treated her like this at the crucial moment?

The queen turned around, and she only saw a flock of zombie cranes pressing down from mid-air. There were more than a hundred of them. She had already dealt with a good several earlier, so where did she have the strength to continue now?

She could not help but lament: My life ends here!

Queen Zhao’s complexion abruptly paled, and she turned around to pound the tightly shut iron doors in a last-ditch effort. “Yi’an, Yi’an let me in.”

Yet on the inside, Yi’an once again checked all the door bolts on the threshold. She couldn’t stop her body from shaking and was drenched in sweat. It was like she had been fished out from the river.

No, she couldn’t! She couldn’t open the door! With her middling kungfu, she would just be dying together with Queen Zhao if she opened the door.

She was still so young. She was only 17, so she couldn’t die just like this.

I-In any case, Queen Zhao had gotten old, so she could die by herself. Don’t, don’t come drag her down!

“Ah!” Hearing Queen Zhao’s screams from outside the door, Yi’an’s heart clenched tightly. She clutched the clothes in front of her chest as she muttered to herself, “I’m not being selfish, I’m not being selfish. I-I, I only don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, don’t want to die!”

She then reached out to cover her ears and hastily ran into the building. She hid underneath the staircase and huddled up into a ball, trembling without daring to let out a sound.

Queen Zhao could only fight desperately in a life-and-death struggle with the zombie cranes that dove down at her, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
