Chapter 1301 - The Path Of Apocalypse (24)
Chapter 1301: The Path Of Apocalypse (24)
Dan Jing walked out of the tent. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“King.”
Yue Ge stood at the side and called him calmly.
Dan Jing heaved a huge sigh of relief. “Yue Ge, go and check if there is anyone with the surname ‘Xi.’ You can look at past materials from the time the three continents were formed.”
There was a glint in Yue Ge’s eyes. “Is this a clue that Lord found?”
Dan Jing said, “Yue Ge, this is not something we should ask.”
Yue Ge bowed. “It is my mistake.”
Dan Jing looked at him. “Lord asked us to ignore the Apocalypse Pagoda for now. If anyone wants to enter the pagoda, let them.”
Yue Ge nodded.
He turned around and left. Dan Jing looked up at the Apocalypse Pagoda.
Battle at Spirit Water, splitting of the continents…
He never experienced them.
That battle was not even recorded.
Most of the people that knew this was probably dead.
Dan Jing lowered his head. He rubbed his hands together and walked toward his resting place.
…
Dan Jing wanted to rest, but a commotion arose outside.
He got up and rushed out hurriedly.
Are these people crazy!
Why did they come here to cause trouble!
“King.”
“What’s happening?” Dan Jing looked over at where the commotion was coming from and asked.
“King, the people that went into the pagoda got sent out. They are all dead. The people from the other two continents want to get an answer from us.”
Dan Jing looked at Ming Shu’s tent. It was quiet. He didn’t know if he should feel relieved or scared.
The people that came over were stopped outside the Xuanzi Continent’s territory. Dan Jing didn’t see anyone from the Long family or the royal family of Lie Yang Country.
Dan Jing’s face turned dark. They were using these people!
“Why did your men come out alive? Why did our people die? What are you planning?!”
“You must give us an answer. Ask the lady to come out and tell us what happened inside the pagoda!”
“Ask her to come out! Give us an explanation!”
Dan Jing walked up. “Shut up!”
Dan Jing was a king. He was the ruler of Xuanzi Continent. Hence, the people quieted down.
Dan Jing scoffed. “When those people entered the pagoda, Lord already reminded them that their life and death depended on their own luck. Anyone who goes in should be prepared to die.”
“That is right. However, she was the only one that came out alive. This is too strange!”
Someone shouted this.
“That’s right. Her cultivation level is not high, either. Isn’t it suspicious that she came out alive but our people died?”
“King Dan Jing, are you all scheming something?”
“If not, why can’t you tell us what happened inside the pagoda? Do you think that we’re stupid!”
The noise got louder. Dan Jing wanted to shut their mouths.
They went to look for death themselves but now, they were blaming others.
“Is it unacceptable that I’m alive?”
A gentle voice floated into everyone’s ears.
King Dan Jing felt his heart jump. He turned around.
Ming Shu was two meters away from him. She was smiling.
“If that is the case, why don’t you all kill me?” She took a sword from the guard closest to her.
She passed the sword to the person in front of her.
Dan Jing shouted fearfully, “Lord!”
He took the sword and kneeled down in fright.
“Lord, please allow me to appease your anger.”
Everyone was shocked when they saw Dan Jing kneeling down.
If he was acting, this was too much.
He was the king of Liyang Country, the ruler of Xuanzi Continent.
“I’m not angry.” Ming Shu’s tone was calm. “Get up.”
Dan Jing swallowed and stood up slowly. He passed the sword to the guard beside him and asked him to stand further away.
Dan Jing looked at the people and said, “I don’t care what you all heard. Lord has nothing to do with the death of the people! If you all come and cause trouble again, I will not show mercy!”
No one spoke. They hadn’t recovered from their shock.
They looked at Ming Shu strangely.
Dan Jing asked his men to chase the people away.
“Lord, sorry to disturb you. I will ask more bodyguards to guard this area and make sure that this will not happen again.” If it happened again, he might as well just go and die.
Ming Shu smiled. “They disturned your Lady. He is very hard to please.”
If he is disturbed, I will have a hard time too!
Dan Jing was speechless. “I will apologize to Lady personally tomorrow.”
Ming Shu didn’t reply to him. She turned and went back.
Dan Jing felt relieved. However, Ming Shu stopped and turned back. “Do you want me to die or not?”
Dan Jing felt his legs going weak. He almost kneeled down again.
“Lord…”
Ming Shu didn’t wait for his reply. She walked directly into the tent. The curtains flowed in the wind.
Xiu Huan stood outside the tent silently. She bowed at Dan Jing.
…
Ming Shu lay down beside Qi Yu. Qi Yu hugged her and nuzzled her face. “Wife.”
Ming Shu coiled into his arms. “Yes.”
“You still have me.
“No matter what happens, I will always stand beside you.”
Ming Shu hugged his waist. Her hands were warm.
After some time, she replied softly, “Yes.”
“Then… can you help me? I feel uncomfortable… would you like to feel it?”
Ming Shu: “…”
He can’t be serious for more than three seconds!
I should just kick him out of the bed!
Of course, she didn’t kick him.
Qi Yu didn’t dare to touch Ming Shu so he could only plead with her.
As Qi Yu panted, Ming Shu suddenly remembered what the girl in the pagoda said.
Under the dim light, she looked at Qi Yu. His eyes were closed slightly. He interlocked fingers with Ming Shu and grabbed the bedsheets with his other hand.
His clothes were a mess. His lips were red and closed tightly. His hair was drenched with sweat.
“Wife?” Qi Yu called her unhappily. “Is your attention wandering?”
Ming Shu suddenly stopped. “Hey, can you cry for me?”
Qi Yu felt as though he was struck by lightning.
What does she mean by…
Cry for her?
Do I look like someone that cries easily?
What a joke!
“Wife… uncomfortable…”
Ming Shu leaned close to his face. “Cry and I will help you.”
Qi Yu: “…” Are you crazy!
Qi Yu’s body was getting warm. For an instant, he wanted to turn over and pin Ming Shu under him. However, she was too strong.
How am I supposed to cry!
Shouldn’t you be the one crying?
Why must I cry!
I’m a man!
I will cry then!
Qi Yu gathered his emotions. His body was really uncomfortable so after a while, tears start forming in his eyes.
