Chapter 55 Youth
Bai Mei looked into the distance and saw that it was a teaspoon that hurt her.
Just now, Shui Yingchen casually picked up a teaspoon from the carriage and threw it at Bai Mei. If he had used a little more force, the teaspoon wouldn't have simply cut her face.
Bai Mei's face turned pale. She realized that her life had been in Shui Yingchen's hands since they met.
"Drive!" Shui Yingchen repeated, "I won't say it again."
Bai Mei hesitated. In the end, she walked to the carriage with reluctance, sat in the driver's seat, turned around, and ordered the guards following her, "You... withdraw!"
The guards stared at each other, not understanding why she was like this.
A guard uttered, "General, isn't it a minor injury? No need to surrender to the enemy yet? We can still fight. So many people can't beat him alone?"
Bai Mei gritted her teeth, "Really... can't beat him. You retreat. Don't worry about me. Don't die here."
She was at least at the eighth level, but if Shui Yingchen wanted to kill her, it was just a wave of his hand. How could those guards resist a single move? In his eyes, these hundred or so people were no different from a hundred ants.
"But..."
The guard wanted to say something else, but Bai Mei’s anger was flaring , "If you keep talking nonsense, you will be punished by military law!"
She was afraid that this idiot would say a few more words to provoke Shui Yingchen and Shui Yingchen would throw something out to take his life. Shui Yingchen's notoriety in Jiuyuan Continent wasn't one or two days old. He would never hesitate when killing people.
The guard had no choice but to say, "Yes!"
Bai Mei didn't care about the wound on her face. Gritting her teeth, she got on the carriage, pulled the reins, and drove forward.
Shui Yingchen said coldly, "No bumps."
"I ...I know."
Bai Mei's driving skills were quite good. She was more stable than the previous driver.
Si Tuan had been napping in the carriage and only raised his eyes at this time, "Huh? The driver had changed? Well, the previous driver had been driving for most of the day and is tired."
Although he knew what happened outside, he didn't panic at all. Gotta to be kidding, right? There was the Emperor in the carriage. What was there to be afraid of?
Seeing that Bai Mei's face was still bleeding, he kindly took out a patch from the medicine box and handed it to her: "Apply it on your face, it will stop bleeding quickly, and it won't leave scars."
Bai Mei took the medicine hesitantly and said in disbelief: "Is it that powerful?"
Luo Jin said: "He is Si Tuan."
Bai Mei immediately took the medicine and applied it on her face.
In the evening, snowflakes floated in the sky. To begin with, the snow on the road hadn’t melted. The snowflakes fell on the ground and blended into the snow, adding a bit of chill.
Bai Mei was a general. She passed directly through various city gates. No one stopped her at all and the journey was smooth. After traveling for a whole day and night, Bai Mei was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. She begged for mercy, "Emperor, please let me go. I can't do it anymore."
Shui Yingchen's eyes turned cold, "Since you can't do it anymore, why don't we..."
Bai Mei gritted her teeth, "I'm fine! Still fine!"
Luo Jin said, "Don't. Fatigue driving can easily cause accidents."
Shui Yingchen said, "What I mean is, why don't we change a driver."
Luo Jin nodded and looked at Bai Mei, "What about her?"
Shui Yingchen had no interest, "Whether to kill or let go, you decide."
Bai Mei looked at Luo Jin with tears in her eyes and pleading gaze.
Luo Jin shrugged, "How about we destroy her martial arts and let her go?"
Shui Yingchen said lightly: "What difference does it make whether her martial arts are destroyed or not?"
Bai Mei: "..."
How come she, a master who had been praised as a "genius" since young, sounded so worthless from his mouth?
In the end, Luo Jin couldn't harden her heart and nodded, "Okay, you go."
Bai Mei’s delight was immediate. She looked at Luo Jin with grateful eyes, nodded at her, and walked forward.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.
A bloody dead branch came through from her back, piercing her whole body. The blood dripped onto the snow along the half-dead branch, as if a large piece of red plum blossoms were blooming on the snow.
She looked up in disbelief. When seeing Su Hejing slowly landing from the sky, a smile was on her face.
"What a waste..." Su Hejing smilingly shook her head, "Apologies for making the Emperor see a joke. Don't think that all of us in Hanyuan are useless because of this waste!"
Bai Mei fell to the ground weakly. She stared at Su Hejing, dying with her eyes open.
Although Luo Jin had nothing to do with Bai Mei, she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw her being killed suddenly, "You old pervert, she is your subordinate! How could you..."
Su Hejing smiled at Luo Jin, "Oh, Red Emperor Gu!"
Luo Jin: "..."
She only had Red Emperor Gu in her eyes, right?
Su Hejing stared at Luo Jin with undisguised greed, to the point of wiping her saliva, "Anyone who raises Gu definitely wants to get their hand on Red Emperor Gu. I didn't know it was in the tomb of Gao Zu before and you end up snatching it first. But it doesn't matter, it will eventually fall into my hands."
Grinning, she waved her hands. Dozens of guards suddenly flashed out around her. These people all had dull eyes, stood behind her, and stopped moving.
"Again, controlled by Gu..." Luo Jin whispered.
Su Hejing smiled, "That's right, but these people are different from those in Dongyuan. They are volunteers. They are all the best soldiers in my Hanyuan! What do you think, Emperor? If you protect her, you can't beat me. If you don't protect her, she can't deal with them. Although these guards behind me aren’t strong, they are all eighth-level!"
"Sure enough, it will be convenient for you to mobilize people when you arrive in Hanyuan." Luo Jin sighed. Then a smile appeared in her eyes, "The last time I saw you, my skills were on cooldown. But sorry, I have a big move this time."
Shui Yingchen looked up at Luo Jin and whispered, "You..."
Luo Jin nodded at him and whispered, "You and I will work together to kill her!"
She flew out of the carriage. Without saying a word, she flipped her wrist lightly. The Blue Swallow flashed a dazzling blue light, piercing Su Hejing's face. At the sight of her swift and fierce moves, Su Hejing didn’t dare to take them head-on. She quickly stepped back and dodged, exclaiming in surprise: "You..."
Shui Yingchen stuffed the cat in his arms to Si Tuan before flying out of the carriage. Yuchen Sword was unsheathed in the air and stabbed Su Hejing with all his strength. Su Hejing's face changed drastically. She swung her sword to block the attack, however she was met with Luo Jin's short sword. Attacked from both sides, she dodged to the side, but failed to completely avoid Luo Jin's short sword. A bloody mark immediately appeared on her arm.
"Protection!" Su Hejing shouted.
The dozen guards immediately gathered and flew to Su Hejing to surround her and help her resist.
"How long can these people... hold on?" Luo Jin waved her short sword lightly. Immediately a guard was stabbed and fell to the ground.
However, the guards didn’t retreat at all, nor did they show any fear. They rushed forward blindly, as if they had no idea that danger was approaching.
Su Hejing took advantage of the short gap when the two were delayed by the guards and turned around and ran. She used up all her strength and ran fast. She disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When all the guards were knocked down, Su Hejing had already disappeared.
Luo Jin snorted coldly, "Selling out teammates, how shameless!"
Then her eyes sank slightly and returned to her previous state.
Shui Yingchen was silent for a long time. Suddenly he reached out, grabbed Luo Jin's wrist, stared into her eyes, and slowly said: "As expected, it was you who hurt me with the Blue Swallow, right?"
Luo Jin smiled, "Yes... But didn't I bring you here for treatment? Right, let's call it even?"
Shui Yingchen was silent for a long time. His expression was obviously not good.
Luo Jin tugged at his sleeve and shook it gently, "You can't blame me for this. You insisted on killing me to get the Red Emperor Gu. I was fighting back in self-defense. Besides, I didn't finish you off..."
Shui Yingchen looked up after a long while, "In the past… I want to kill you?"
Luo Jin nodded repeatedly. Her face was full of grievances, "Quite mercilessly. The kind that wanted me dead... What’s more, it was for the Red Emperor Gu. I didn't offend you."
Shui Yingchen sighed with some self-doubt, "You risked your life to come to Yeyuan to find Si Tuan for those poor dwarf slaves. You also spent your energy to save those innocent people who were controlled. It seems that... you should be a good person."
Luo Jin hurriedly said: "Of course I am a good person... I not only did these good things, I did many, many good things! Everyone knows that I am a good person."
Shui Yingchen deeply doubted himself, "So I am... a bad person ten years later?"
Luo Jin smiled, "How should I put it... Anyway, although you have experienced some pain, it is also a blessing in disguise. Think about it, if you get the Red Emperor Gu and this thing can't be taken out. Although it can improve your martial arts, it will affect your sleep. The you from ten years later have much worse insomnia than now. If the Red Emperor Gu is in your body, you will have trouble sleeping every night and will go crazy."
"Ten years later, my sleep... will be worse than now?" Shui Yingchen continued to doubt himself.
"Yes, you have to listen to storytelling, light dozens of lights, and then burn incense in the room to sleep for a short while. People say that people who don't sleep well have bad tempers. At that time, you had a particularly bad temper and didn't have any patience at all."
Shui Yingchen was stunned for a long time, turned back, and got into the carriage, "Let's go."
Luo Jin followed him into the carriage and said with a smile: "In fact, you are in a much better state now. Although you sometimes have nightmares, it isn’t to point you can't sleep at all. Your mentality is younger and you look younger and more handsome!"
Shui Yingchen: "..."
In the carriage, Si Tuan looked at the cat in his arms with an expression of despair, "You hurt Su Hejing with the Blue Swallow?"
Luo Jin said: "Yes, what’s wrong?"
Si Tuan was pulling his hair, "Then she will definitely search for me everywhere to treat her wounds... I can't go back to Yeyuan?"
Shui Yingchen said: "You can also go to Yeyuan from Jiyuan Country. Hanyuan road isn’t the only way, but it will be much farther."
Si Tuan shook his head, "She will run to Yeyuan to find me. How about I take the initiative to give her the medicine..."
Luo Jin glared at him, "Aiding the tyrant, right? She is a bad person! A big baddie! You help her treat her wounds, so you want her to kill more people?"
Si Tuan: "..."
Luo Jin patted Si Tuan's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will protect you. Don't be afraid of her. She is injured and can't beat me. And our Dongyuan army is also strong. We won't let you be captured by her."
Si Tuan shook his head helplessly.
A few days later, they arrived at the border of Dongyuan. Shui Yingchen got off the carriage and whispered, "I'm going back to Jiyuan. You... take care of yourself."
