LPMM 50




Chapter 50 When I was young

Luo Jin's eyes were filled with shock.

Should she thank Shui Yingchen for not swinging his sword to kill her? With this slash, a ninth-level was killed instantly. This power was beyond her imagination.

If Shui Yingchen had not been too conceited at that time and was willing to carry a weapon, he wouldn't have been so easily tricked by Luo Jin.

Jiang Mo was besieged by the group brought by Long Ying. Those people were like Wei Yu. Although they weren't at the ninth-level, they weren't much different. Jiang Mo was unable to cope with them and retreated while fighting.

Wei Yu and Wei Shuang stepped forward to help with their swords. The strength of these two people wasn't as strong as those strengthened guards. They felt extremely exhausted after blocking a few moves.

Shui Yingchen glanced at Wei Yu. Long Yu shouted, "Your Majesty, these people are controlled. Don't kill them!"

"Okay." Shui Yingchen sheathed the sword, flew over, and made a few palm strikes, knocking those people unconscious.

Jiang Mo put away his sword and exclaimed in astonishment: "Ninth level... is it so exaggerated?"

Wei Yu grinned: "In fact, our Majesty is a teeny tiny little bit away from breaking through to the tenth level. It’s always a little short. I don't know when this opportunity will come. Like these people, they are almost at the ninth level, but they can't reach the ninth level either."

There was a holler inside and more than a dozen people rushed out.

Wei Yu was excited when he saw one of them, "It's Old Sixth! Your Majesty, it’s Old Sixth! Knock him out quickly!"

Shui Yingchen acknowledged with an ‘en’ and his figure swayed a few times. The dozen people fell to the ground one by one, completely without any resistance.

Luo Jin was no longer in shock. She now had almost twenty people to save, enough for her to have her occupied.

She helped a man up by her feet, picked up a sword, and drove the Gu out of his brain. Because it was in the brain, her movements were extremely slow and cautious.

The man called ‘Old Sixth’ was helped over by Wei Yu. He was a bulky man with a beard. After Luo Jin forced the gu out of him, he woke up. He looked around blankly. When he saw Wei Yu, he called out, "Ah Yu, what happened to me?"

Before Luo Jin could say anything, she heard the sound of two swords colliding behind her. Then a powerful force rippled to the surroundings. She was affected by the force and felt a sweetness in her throat. She almost vomited blood.

Shui Yingchen stood behind her and waved his sword to block the sharp blade that had slashed at her.

A charming looking woman took a step back and laughed softly, "The Emperor of Jiyuan is here, why didn't you let us know ahead of time?"

She glanced at Long Ying's corpse, "Oh, who killed my good disciple? Isn't that too much?"

There was no sadness in her tone. It even carried a hint of joy.

Shui Yingchen looked at the sword in his hand and said calmly: "You are indeed on the upper ninth level. Why don't we fight here? The life and death kind? Empress Dowager Su?"

Su Hejing smiled charmingly, "How hateful. Why do you call me so old? I haven't seen you for many years. It's almost... ten years, right?"

Shui Yingchen glanced at her, "Didn't we meet last month? Oh... I forgot, it's indeed ten years, you haven't changed much."

Emp... Empress Dowager Su?" Luo Jin asked in confusion, "Which Empress Dowager?"

Wei Yu said: "Hanyuan's Empress Dowager. She has the final say in Hanyuan."

Su Hejing glanced at Luo Jin and sighed: "Sure enough, you prefer young girls. You want to beat me to death for her. It's too much."

Shui Yingchen rolled his eyes at her, "Are you sick? Are we familiar?"

Wei Yu turned around and said to Luo Jin: "Our Majesty is not familiar with her. This woman is crazy. She likes to go on monologues. "

Luo Jin responded with an ‘Oh’, but soon felt something was wrong, "Why are you explaining this to me?"

"How about this," Su Hejing said with a smile, "You take your Jiyuan Kingdom as a dowry and marry me, okay?"

Shui Yingchen turned the sword in his hand and frowned slightly, "You haven't changed at all, you are still full of crazy words. Ten years ago, you said you wanted to unify the Jiuyuan Continent and asked me if I wanted to join forces. I have already said that I will not let you touch my Jiyuan Kingdom. Stop talking nonsense, either move hands or scram!"

Su Hejing pointed at Shui Yingchen's chest, "Why are you injured? Who hurt you? With your high martial arts, it’s impossible for anyone to hurt you. Did some wild woman sneak attack you in bed?"

Shui Yingchen looked down at his chest. His wound was easy to split open. The full-strength fight now had torn the wound. His clothes were soon soaked with blood, appearing bright red.

He glanced at her nonchalantly, "This little injury doesn't matter. It won't affect my killing you."

After saying that, a chill suddenly appeared in his eyes. He swung his sword to meet her. Su Hejing then swung her sword to block and they exchanged a few moves in an instant.

The whole cave shook as if there was an earthquake. Stone chips fell from all around from time to time. The strong sword intent enveloped the entire cave, making it almost impossible for people to breathe.

Luo Jin could only lament that the timing was wrong. If she could still use her strength now, it wouldn't be a problem for her and Shui Yingchen to kill Su Hejing together, but she couldn't do anything now. Jiang Mo obviously couldn't intervene either. She could only turn back and continue to cure the person lying on the ground.

Shui Yingchen and Su Hejing fought for a long time without a clear winner. Su Hejing suddenly jumped out of the battle circle and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, let's not fight today. This is Dongyuan. It's not good to attract soldiers. I'm leaving first. When I catch you later, I'll tie you to the bed and give you a good sorting!"

As she said that, she flew away.

Hearing her bold words, Luo Jin couldn't help but turn to Shui Yingchen.

A picture appeared in her mind.

Shui Yingchen: "..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Luo Jin turned around and continued to force the gu out of the people on the ground.

After more than a dozen people, she felt dizzy and uncomfortable. Suddenly, her back felt hot and a little warmth flowed into her back. Her head felt clear in an instant.

She turned around and saw Shui Yingchen standing behind her, pointing at her back in mid-air.

It took two hours, until it was almost dark, to rescue everyone.

Shui Yingchen said: "The matter here is over. We have to go back to Jiyuan Country, so goodbye."

He turned around and was about to leave. Luo Jin suddenly stood up and said: "Then you... do you want to go with me to find a doctor?"

Shui Yingchen was slightly stunned, "Find a doctor? What doctor?"

"The genius doctor Si Tuan."

Wei Shuang said: "This person had disappeared from the world a long time ago. There is no way to find him, right? If you can find him, it would be great. It would be best if his majesty's injury can be cured. Otherwise, it will often open in the future, which is also troublesome."

Shui Yingchen looked at Luo Jin, "Do you know where he is?"

Luo Jin nodded, "I know. I'm going to find him and ask him to help heal those dying dwarf slaves."

Si Tuan was the world's number one genius doctor. This person was quite mysterious and ordinary people couldn't find him at all. But the novel once mentioned that the heroine went to find him and successfully persuaded him to come out of the mountain for treatment.

If the method used by the heroine at that time was used, it should be feasible.

But Luo Jin regretted it a little after saying this. Shui Yingchen was like a time bomb. Who knew when he will remember that she pushed him off the cliff and gave him a slash.

Shui Yingchen thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go with you. You three go back to Jiyuan first. I'll heal the wound and go back."

Wei Yu hurriedly said, "Let me stay and take care of your Majesty! Your Majesty can't be without someone to serve."

"No, I'm not incapable of taking care of myself." Shui Yingchen shook his head, "You go."

"En." Wei Yu couldn't say anything else, so he could only obey.  

Jiang Mo was silent for a long while before saying, "I'll go with you!"

Luo Jin smiled, "Aren't you going to escort the Empress back to Xiyuan Kingdom? Don't worry about me, I know my limits and won't be hurt easily."

"But... I'm worried." Jiang Mo glanced at Shui Yingchen, "He is..."

"It's okay, believe me. I could handle it before, so I can still handle it now." Luo Jin said softly.

She couldn't let Jiang Mo follow her. If a fight broke out, Shui Yingchen could easily take Jiang Mo's life. She had experience dealing with Shui Yingchen, so she wasn't that afraid of him.

"Okay," Jiang Mo lowered his eyes, "I'll listen to you."

Everyone went back to the city to pack up. Jie Gui took everyone back to Wei City, leaving only Luo Jin and Shui Yingchen to stay in the inn, preparing to leave tomorrow morning to find Si Tuan.

"Si Tuan is in Yeyuan," Luo Jin said to Shui Yingchen, taking out a map and gesturing, "The shortest way from Dongyuan to Yeyuan is through Hanyuan. I can have someone make a fake identity document, so that we can enter Hanyuan with a fake identity and won't attract the attention of your old lover."

"Old lover?" Shui Yingchen frowned, "Su Hejing? I'm not familiar with her, I've only met her twice."

"I don't believe it. I think she likes you quite a bit." Luo Jin smiled, "Why don't you tell me?"

Shui Yingchen shook his head, "She is a real lunatic. Ten years ago, she married the emperor of Hanyuan and later gave birth to a prince. , then she killed the emperor, let the Prince succeed to the throne, and ruled the country behind the scenes. We were at war at that time and she came to me and told me..."

He was silent for a long time and finally reluctantly told: "She told me that her emperor husband couldn't stand being beaten, and died after a few beatings. She said that I looked more resistant to beatings and asked me if I was willing to marry her..."

Luo Jin was shocked, "It's... an ingenious way to praise people."

"Is this considered a compliment?"

"..."

...

The next morning, Luo Jin was ready to leave, knocked on the door, and entered Shui Yingchen's room, wanting to ask him if he was ready.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shui Yingchen looking in the mirror, staring at the person in the mirror in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Luo Jin came over.

Shui Yingchen sighed as he looked at himself in the mirror, "I look ten years older the moment I open my eyes. You would be unhappy too, right? How come I am already twenty-five..."

Luo Jin: "..."

She almost forgot that the person in front of her was the fifteen-year-old Shui Yingchen, not the twenty-five-year-old Emperor.

If it were her, she would go crazy if she slept one night and turned into a twenty-seven-year-old tomorrow.
