Volume 1 Chapter 116: Breaking Up
"Is that so..." Zhen Yueling looked obviously disappointed.
"But this zither was given to me by a good friend of mine who has lived for many years. It must be real!"
Sun Shang suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, tapped his head lightly, and said self-reproachfully: "Look, I'm so drunk that I'm confused. Miss Yueling is an expert in the art of playing the zither. This is perfect. I'd like to ask Miss Yueling to do me a favor and help me identify it!"
Zhen Yueling covered her mouth and laughed: "I'm not an expert at all, I just know a thing or two."
Then she changed the subject and said, "If that's the case, then let's go now. There's no point in staying here any longer."
Sun Shang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he did not show it. He quickly said, "My carriage is waiting outside the palace. If Miss Yue Ling doesn't mind, you can come along!"
South of the capital, near the southern Xinjiang region
Tonight is New Year's Eve, the day when we should be having family reunion dinner at home, but in a forest over here, Jiang Yue is leading a large number of Black Armor Army soldiers in a bloody battle.
Their enemy was a well-known bandit group in the area called Shanshenku.
After knocking a bandit away with one shot, Jiang Yue shouted loudly: "Brothers, work harder and kill them as soon as possible, so that I can take everyone back to have the New Year's Eve dinner!"
“Kill! Kill!”
The soldiers fought bravely, and Jiang Yue was also not vague. He turned over and rode his war horse towards the mountain god's cave lair, ready to capture the leader first!
The next morning, Xiang Yun got up refreshed wearing his Ming Guang Armor, stretched himself, and looked at Cai Yun who was crying beside him with satisfaction.
"Hahahaha!" Xiang Yun laughed wildly and got out of bed proudly putting on the yellow jacket and dragon robe he had taken off last night.
While putting on the clothes, he smiled and said, "Don't cry, I won't take you for nothing, I will be responsible for you!"
Hearing this, Caiyun cried even harder. She was so sad that she didn't sleep the whole night, just waiting for the opportunity to take action.
But Xiang Yun actually fell asleep in his Ming Guang Armor, not giving her any chance at all. In this way, not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she also lost her body. It was really a case of losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!
After putting on the dragon robe, Xiang Yun no longer paid attention to Caiyun and walked out of the military tent. Not long after, he personally brought a set of clothes and armor of the Lieyang Army soldiers, put them on the bed and said, "Here, these are the only clothes in the army. If you don't mind, put them on."
"I said I would be responsible for you, and I will do so. If you are willing, you can stay by my side and serve me day and night. I will ensure that you will live a life of luxury.
If you don't want to stay, I won't force you. After you put on this dress, you can leave on your own. No one will make things difficult for you."
Then Xiang Yun took out a fifty-liang gold coin and placed it on the bed, saying with a smile: "This is all for last night's expenses. Use it to buy yourself some fine rouge, clothes, or as travel expenses."
After saying this, Caiyun cried even louder. Are you kidding me? As a nine-colored koi, would she care about such mundane things?
I'm here to kill you, and something seems to be wrong now!
She had tried to resist several times last night, intending to kill him by force, but then she realized that Xiang Yun had great strength in his hands. He held her hands tightly, and she could not move even if she used all her strength.
In the end, she could only let Xiang Yun pick her like a ripe strawberry.
It was boring to continue staying in the military tent, so Xiang Yun turned around and left. After practicing the harmony of Yin and Yang last night, he could feel the strength in his body increasing significantly again, and even the thickness of the solar source energy was greatly improved.
Xiang Yun clenched his fists and felt it carefully. He thought that with his current strength, if he faced the Master Wu Nian again, he might not be able to crush him, but at least he could fight him on equal terms!
The soldiers played until very late last night, so they got up late this morning. Xiang Yun walked around the military camp and found that many people were still not awake.
Xiang Yun suddenly stopped and hurriedly walked towards the dense forest where he met Caiyun last night.
He kept searching along the route he remembered, but no matter how hard Xiang Yun looked, he could not find the secluded pool!
The location of the secluded pond in my memory was now covered with dense weeds and trees, and even the big rock from last night was nowhere to be seen.
Xiang Yun couldn't help but frowned: "My goodness, the girl is still in her military tent. What happened last night was definitely not a dream, but how to explain this!"
The thought was terrifying. Xiang Yun couldn't help but re-examine Caiyun in his mind. She could actually make him fall into an illusion without realizing it. It seemed that the background of this girl was more complicated than he had imagined!
Xiang Yun kept frowning as he returned to the military camp. Halfway through, he clapped his hands and said, "Why am I thinking so much? With that girl's intelligence, I could have tricked her into spending the night a hundred times. Why would I be afraid that she would do something bad?"
Thinking of this, Xiang Yun smiled happily and quickened his pace back to the military camp.
Not long after, the whole army set out again after breakfast. Caiyun ran out wearing a soldier's armor, sniffling and with a red face.
He looked around blankly, and when he found Xiang Yun's trace, he immediately ran over.
Xiang Yun stood beside the carriage, touching his chin with his hand, looking at her with a half-smile and said, "Why, have you thought it through?"
Although Caiyun was filled with hatred, she still pretended to be a little girl for the sake of the mission and said softly, "Sir, if you don't abandon me, I will naturally stay and take care of you. Besides, what happened last night?"
Xiang Yun smiled and nodded, then got on the carriage by himself, and then stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile: "Come on!"
In the carriage, Xiang Yun and Cai Yun sat side by side. Xiang Yun did not ask the woman's name. He just held her hand without saying anything. The carriage started moving and Xiang Yun fell asleep not long after.
Caiyun's heart began to pound. This guy actually fell asleep. Was he so confident in her?
This is a great opportunity for assassination. Should I do it myself?
Caiyun took a deep breath and tried to gently take her hand away from Xiangyun's grasp.
It moved away little by little, and just when Caiyun's little hand was carefully and completely away, before Caiyun could cheer excitedly, Xiang Yun's big hand came over again, grabbed her little hand that had just been separated, and held it tightly.
Caiyun widened her eyes and was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she dared not move at all. It was obvious that Xiang Yun was not in a deep sleep yet.
The carriage continued to move forward. After nearly half an hour, Caiyun's little thoughts came to her mind again. She stared at Xiang Yun for a long time, and then waved her other hand in front of his eyes.
After finding that Xiang Yun didn't react at all, Caiyun couldn't help but gently move forward and touch Xiang Yun's well-defined cheek with her little hand.
After poking it and still no response, Caiyun began to get bolder. She gently touched the tip of Xiangyun's nose with her finger and then continued to scratch it gently.
This part is the most sensitive spot on the human face. Caiyun believed that if Xiangyun was pretending to be asleep, he would definitely not be able to bear this strange itch.
After all, she herself couldn't stand it at all.
She kept fiddling with Xiang Yun for more than ten minutes and found that Xiang Yun still had no reaction at all, even his breathing remained even. Caiyun couldn't help but her eyes began to light up. This time, Xiang Yun was really asleep!
Caiyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and began to laugh secretly: "Hehehe, mortals are indeed mortals, their brains are just not smart, they actually dare to show such a lax state in front of this fairy, then don't blame this fairy for being rude!"
Then Caiyun's right hand turned into a nine-colored green smoke. When the smoke dissipated, a fishbone-shaped dagger appeared in her right hand.
This dagger is very different from the one last night. There is a large amount of nine-color liquid on the blade of this dagger.
This is a kind of toxin unique to her body, called "Nine-Colored Fairy Poison". Once you are poisoned by this poison, you will feel extremely itchy, your skin will be torn apart, and nine-colored fish scales will begin to grow all over your body. The process is extremely painful and torturous.
After a month of such pain, all the scales will grow back, and the whole person will turn into a pool of pus and die.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, Caiyun decided that if Xiang Yun didn't die after one strike of her sword, then the nine-color poison that only she could cure would make Xiang Yun suffer unbearable pain until he died.
In this way, he had completed the task assigned to him by the Holy Mother of Golden Lotus.
Thinking of this, Caiyun's face was filled with excitement. She made up her mind and prepared to stab Xiang Yun's chest with the poisoned fishbone dagger immediately.
But at this moment, Xiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, stared at her coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "What are you doing?"
Caiyun was completely stunned. Are you kidding me? I've been playing with you for so long and you didn't wake up. But as soon as I took out the dagger, you woke up faster than anything else. Are you kidding me?
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Caiyun was ruthless and shouted fiercely: "You dog emperor, go to hell!"
The sharp dagger stabbed down immediately, and Xiang Yun calmly turned his head to avoid it, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
He indeed fell asleep without realizing it. After all, he had worked so hard for so long last night that he was naturally very sleepy.
However, the Ming Guang Armor automatically protects his body. When it senses danger, it will actively emit burning energy to his chest, making him feel severe pain as a warning.
Xiang Yun was awakened by the burning pain. He saw this scene as soon as he opened his eyes. Although he was surprised, he was not panicked.
He just sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that this girl exposed herself too quickly, otherwise I could have played with her for a few more days!"
After missing the first attack, Caiyun immediately launched the next one, and the dagger then slashed towards Yun's neck.
Xiang Yun immediately raised his hand and grabbed Caiyun's right hand. With just a slight force, Caiyun felt pain and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
Xiang Yun grabbed her hand and said with a smug smile: "Miss, what do you mean by this? I am your savior, are you planning to repay kindness with enmity?"
Since the relationship had already been torn apart, Caiyun stopped pretending and changed her previous little girl appearance. She cursed loudly: "Humph, this fairy is ordered by the Golden Lotus Mother to come here to kill you, the shameless emperor. Die!"
Caiyun's other hand had been released by Xiang Yun a long time ago. Now that she had the chance, another fishbone dagger immediately appeared in her left hand and she stabbed it fiercely into Xiang Yun's abdomen.
Xiang Yun immediately pulled back when he saw this, but he was in a carriage and there was no way to retreat. Xiang Yun had nowhere to retreat and his pupils couldn't help but dilate. The dagger was only three centimeters away from his abdomen!
