Chapter 1441 A Pair Of Swift Legs
Chapter 1441 A Pair Of Swift Legs
Upon catching sight of the hairy, elongated legs, Lilly inexplicably reminisced about Jonas from her
childhood. When she was young, Jonas had been terrified by a female spirit and had hastily returned
home overnight, his long legs covered in hair. The creature that had just zoomed past her was similar,
albeit much smaller, probably less than two feet tall. "It appears to be less than two feet tall... How does
it possess such long legs?" she pondered aloud.
She cautiously entered, anticipating that the palace's second floor would be filled with valuable items.
However, all she found was a shelf displaying four or five weapons... and that was it.
Using her spiritual consciousness, she examined the weapons. She wondered what they were: a
machete, a trident, a miniature tower, a black bowl resembling those held by monks, and a long,
lightweight piece of silk resembling a shawl. Uncertain of their purpose, she decided to collect them first
and figure it out later!
With a sweep of her spiritual consciousness, she gathered everything—the items and the shelf—into
her ring.
From the back of the palace, an angry voice could be heard, followed by the sound of clanging as if
something had collided with an object.
Lilly promptly approached, still protected by layers, only to discover calligraphy and paintings in the rear
hall of the palace. Hmm... I wonder what significance these calligraphy and paintings hold, but they
must be extraordinary to be concealed here. Let's collect them first and figure it out later.
With a wave of her hand, everything before her vanished.
Finally, the empty hall contained only...
A pair of bare, hairy legs!
These were genuine legs without any other body parts. Realizing they had nowhere to hide, they
immediately sprinted as if attempting to escape.
"What exactly are you?" Lilly thought dealing with them would be challenging. She shouted, "Dragon
Fang!" The next second, Dragon Fang pressed against the legs.
Although the legs lacked a face or expression, Lilly could sense their panic. Upon closer inspection,
she realized the legs were not physical entities. They felt like spirits, but they weren't spirits... She felt a
sense of familiarity.
"Are you... an artifact spirit?!" She suddenly recollected the spirit within Dragon Fang. After the battle
ended and she returned to the Crawford family, she had once used her spiritual consciousness to
sense it and could vaguely feel the spirit of Dragon Fang. Thus, she quickly recognized that the legs in
front of her were indeed an artifact spirit. But what kind of weapon would have a pair of hairy legs as its
spirit?!
While she pondered, the palace in front of her emitted a bright light. Then, the massive palace
vanished, transforming into a white silhouette!
The silhouette took the form of a shrunken palace and landed perfectly on top of those two swift legs.
Then, the palace somehow broke free from Dragon Fang's suppression and fled...
Both Lilly and Dragon Fang were left speechless.
The corner of Lilly's mouth twitched. The mystery is solved—it's the spirit of this palace. How absurd!
I've never seen a palace with a pair of legs before.
At that moment, Lilly witnessed the enormous palace from earlier shrink to the size of a computer's
base unit. It panicked as it ran in all directions as fast as its swift legs could carry it.
However, this space seemed confined. The palace ran to the edge of the clouds with its legs, then
returned and dashed in another direction...
Imagine the scene where your computer sprouts legs and frantically scurries around your room.
Lilly's mouth continued to twitch. She had expected a great battle to take place here, and she was
already prepared for it. But she didn't anticipate encountering a palace spirit as timid as a small ghost
beast...
When the palace spirit frantically ran for the third time, she reached out and grabbed it directly.
The spirit struggled as if crying out, 'Let me go!'
Lilly thought of the small ghost beast, which used to cry while making a thumping sound. Despite its
tears, it was truly formidable.
As a precaution, Lilly struck first, sending a lightning bolt that struck the "forehead" of the spirit. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Both Dragon Fang and the palace spirit were stunned. This girl can actually summon lightning?!
Lilly stopped. "Oops, my apologies. It was a mistake."
Both Dragon Fang and the palace spirit fell silent. They didn't know much else, but this lightning was
undoubtedly the most potent means of suppression for artifact spirits like them.
Lilly apologized and wore a smile of apology, but lightning sparks crackled in her palm. "It truly was a
mistake... So, would you mind explaining what exactly is happening here?"
The palace spirit was speechless. As if I'll believe you. This girl is very cunning! The hair on its legs
trembled in the cold wind.
Lilly kindly reminded the spirit, threatening it in the gentlest tone she could muster, "Behave and come
clean, or else I'll strike you with lightning!"
The palace spirit was at a loss for words. I knew it! I've heard her say that she'll take me away and use
me to fend off lightning strikes. I don't want to be taken away by this girl! It bravely... knelt down.
Lilly was bewildered, and so was Dragon Fang. Hold on a minute, bro. Your level doesn't seem lower
than mine. Do you really have to kneel so quickly?
Lilly felt as though the palace spirit was weeping and pleading with her to spare it, mentioning it had a
roof and steps and begging her to release it... She was speechless and said, "I simply want to know
where this place is. Are you a wild artifact spirit, or do you have an owner?"
The artifact spirit immediately shook its head and gestured that it had an owner.
Lilly thought, Well, if it has an owner, I shouldn't harm it, but what about the things I just took? Should I
return them? Suddenly, she felt a twinge of reluctance. I've never given up what I've taken!
Surprisingly, the palace spirit gestured that as long as she released it, everything in the palace would
belong to her!
Lilly said, "Well, that's very generous of you... I'll take them, then!"
The palace spirit was speechless. If only you had hesitated for one more second... Forget it. My master
said those things were meant for others to take in the first place.
"Now, could you please enlighten me about the nature of this place?" Lilly perched on a cloud, resting
her chin on her hand as she gazed at the palace spirit. She produced a spirit fruit and extended it
towards Dragon Fang.
Dragon Fang was momentarily at a loss for words. I'm not a herbivore! Nevertheless, it proceeded to
consume the fruit.
Once again, the palace spirit was rendered speechless. So, it appears that there is a sword suited for
every wielder— their words do not align with their actions. Nonetheless, this girl does not seem to
possess ill intentions. After careful contemplation, the palace spirit finally divulged the information to
her. 'Heavenly Court,' it gestured. 'This is the Heavenly Court.'
What? Lilly was taken aback. Have I truly been transported through time and space?!
