Hearing the voice from the void, the martial artists spectating around all looked toward it.
Even Ao Lei and the late-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse who was preparing to make a move on Ye Chen shifted their gaze to the void, and when they saw Huo Mei'er, a glint shone in Ao Lei's eyes at the sight of such a charming young girl.
The two late-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouses from the Beastlands, however, seemed to recognize Huo Mei'er's identity and furrowed their brows.
Among the spectating martial artists, there were similarly those who recognized Huo Mei'er, and they instantly began buzzing with discussion, "She's from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land of the Leaving Fire Continent! This young girl is the Little Saintess of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land!"
"Judging by the way this Little Saintess speaks, could it be that she knows the young man sendo troubled by Ao Lei and is going to stand up for him?"
"Although the Leaving Fire Continent is just one continent, it has significant relations with the other four continents of the Xuanjin Continent and Qingmu Continent. Even though these five continents are not allied, the five Holy Lands are closely connected."
"The Beast Alliance does cover five continents as well, but the Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses of the Beast Alliance are not as numerous as those from the five Holy Lands of the Leaving Fire Continent and Xuanjin Continent. Speaking of which, the Beast Alliance fears none more than these five continents!"
"If this young girl really decides to take a stand for this young man, that would mean a confrontation between the five Holy Lands and the Beast Alliance, and that would sure be a spectacle."
Amidst the crowd's murmuring, Huo Mei'er and the other two girls flew down beside Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, we meet again."
After arriving beside Ye Chen, Huo Mei'er glanced at him coyly and broke into a light smile.
When the young girl saw the lively and extraordinary golden monkey in Ye Chen's palm, her beautiful eyes lit up even brighter, "What a lovely little monkey! Ye Chen, is this your spiritual pet?"
"This is a True Spirit Sacred Beast entrusted to me for care by a senior. It isn't my spiritual pet, but rather a little companion," Ye Chen said, shaking his head and also greeting Huo Mei'er with a smile.
Ye Chen hadn't expected to encounter Huo Mei'er at this juncture.
Huo Mei'er couldn't help but touch the little monkey with her slender, fair fingers.
The little monkey looked at Huo Mei'er with its lively black eyes, then at Ye Chen, and quietly transmitted its voice to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, who is this? Don't tell me you've started liking a new girl besides Jiang Yao?"
Ye Chen shot the little monkey a glare.
What nonsense was this little thing spouting?
"She's a girl I met by chance; we've only met once," Ye Chen responded to the little monkey, somewhat surprised, before asking, "Little one, how do you know about these things?"
"Eya, of course I do, I have grown a lot," the little monkey held its tiny head high, "Last time, Mu Qingqing even specifically told me to keep an eye on you."
Ye Chen was taken aback.
Indeed, during one occasion at the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Mu Qingqing had seen the little monkey, but Ye Chen didn't expect that she would communicate such matters with the little monkey.
Seeing the way Ye Chen and the little monkey's eyes were moving, Huo Mei'er knew that they were transmitting messages through Divine Sense. Thinking about how such a small monkey could perform Divine Sense transmission, she grew fonder of it and began playfully teasing the monkey with her fingers.
Huo Mei'er's actions made it even clearer to the spectating martial artists that this Little Saintess from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land of the Leaving Fire Continent obviously knew the young man being troubled by Ao Lei.
At this moment, Ao Lei's complexion had turned increasingly ashen.
He was already quite upset from being ignored by Ye Chen, and was just about to make a move when he was interrupted by the young and charming girl.
Initially, on hearing from others that the girl was the Little Saintess of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land from the Leaving Fire Continent, he had thoughts of getting to know her.
Unexpectedly, after she interrupted him and descended, she had been chatting non-stop with the boy in front and hadn't even given him a single glance, which fumed Ao Lei to the point of steaming.
He had been ignored once again!
"Hmph!" Seeing Huo Mei'er continuing to play with the little monkey and Ye Chen watching with a faint smile, Ao Lei could no longer hold back and snorted coldly, "I was wondering who it could be. So it's the Little Saintess from the Leaving Fire Continent? Well, is the Leaving Fire Continent planning to meddle in the affairs of the Beast Alliance now?"
It was then that Huo Mei'er finally lifted her beautiful eyes to look at Ao Lei, and the young girl smiled gently, "If I have meddled, what about it?"
With Huo Mei'er's response, a buzzing discussion broke out amongst the surrounding people.
Nobody had expected the young girl to actually stand up for Ye Chen, truly indifferent to the Beast Alliance and to Ao Lei.
Ye Chen was also startled.
He had met Huo Mei'er by sheer coincidence, having recognized each other only after an intense battle. He never expected that she would fly over specially to help him.
Although he was indifferent towards Ao Lei, the fact that Huo Mei'er was willing to step forward did make Ye Chen view the young woman more favorably.
At this moment, however, Ao Lei was burning with indignant rage!
Huo Mei'er's stunningly beautiful face radiated an innocent charm that was heart-stirring, yet she was actually defending another young man, which made Ao Lei feel exceedingly uncomfortable. Raising his eyebrows in disdain, he sneered at Huo Mei'er and Ye Chen, "Really want to meddle? I'm afraid you won't be able to!"
Ao Lei did not believe that the five great holy lands would fall out with their beast alliance for the sake of one young man.
"Hu Uncle, block this girl for me."
"Quan Uncle, continue to make your move; take down the others for me!"
Ao Lei commanded the two late-stage Heavenly Saint experts behind him.
The two late-stage Heavenly Saint experts, each with white dual horns, exchanged a look, both slightly hesitant.
After all, this involved the Little Saintess of the Leaving Fire Continent's sacred land.
