Chapter 85 Chapter 85 The Hanging Castle of Xipo Part 3
The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.
A group of people walked quickly in the corridor, and the lights turned on and off as they passed.
Finally, they stopped in front of the main hall. The leader pushed the door open with a heavy face and walked in, while the rest of them bowed until the man completely disappeared, expressing their loyalty and respect.
The man who walked into the main hall was wearing an eye patch covering his right eye. His knee-length black hair was tied back with a metal headband. The blood-stained armor on his body proved that he had just come off the battlefield.
"Ma'am, I'm back."
The man knelt on one knee, placed his right hand firmly on his chest, and offered all his loyalty and love.
"Ah—you're back."
The woman on the recliner closed her eyes and responded lazily after a long time.
Artificial moonlight shines through the window onto the woman's body, interweaving with her long light pink hair that flows onto the carpet, while also drooping on her delicate and moist skin, creating this incomparably beautiful picture.
But upon closer inspection, the woman's face looked a little pale, and there was a crack in the beautiful picture.
She finally raised her hands, waiting for something.
The man walked forward quickly, holding the woman's jade-like fingertips with both hands, "Madam, please forgive me for not washing up yet. I have something very important to report to you."
"I know, you stink now." The woman opened her eyes, and her peach blossom eyes, which were the same as Yun Yaofeng's, were radiating charm all the time. She complained coquettishly, "Tell me, Clarkya, if it's not something important, I will hate you~"
Clarkia withdrew her infatuated gaze, but her heart was still hanging. "Madam, there was a disturbance in the alien world. One fifth of the people in the first division of the Third Army were devoured. After these people were devoured, the zombies that appeared seemed to know about the disappearance of General Yun Shi..."
Before she finished speaking, Yun Yingxuan sat up straight, her dazed eyes finally filled with anger and sadness, "Impossible! It's impossible for my sister to be swallowed by the alien world!!!"
"Ma'am! Don't be so excited!"
As soon as she finished saying this, Yun Yingxuan immediately covered her chest and started coughing. Clarkya immediately picked up a clean handkerchief from the side and handed it to Yun Yingxuan, and gently patted her back, hoping to make her feel better.
The woman no longer had the slightest bit of grace she had just possessed. Her coughing sounded as if it was tearing her lungs apart, and scarlet spots appeared on her snow-white handkerchief.
Clarke's eyes were filled with distress. "Madam, you should take better care of yourself..."
"What does this have to do with whether I take care of myself or not?! My body was destroyed when I was poisoned while I was pregnant with Rourou! Damn it..."
Yun Yingxuan closed her eyes and finally suppressed the urge to vomit blood. With the help of Clarka, she lay down again.
"...Sure enough, the death penalty is a good choice for my bastard brother."
Clarkya didn't say anything, but silently picked up the blood-red handkerchief for Yun Yingxuan.
Yun Yingxuan was silent for a long time.
"Still no news about...Sister?"
"There is no news about General Yun Shi... Sorry, I am useless."
In this land of despair, the Dome Army is the last line of defense to protect Siper.
Zombies will continue to emerge from places that have been swallowed by the alien world. The duty of the Dome Army is to clear out these zombies and ensure that the passage connecting the suspended city and the underground city will not be cut off.
The general who commanded and led the Dome Army was Yun Shi.
As the elder sister of Madam Yun, she has shown extraordinary talent since she was 6 years old. At the age of 16, she became a general of the Dome Army with absolutely powerful forces. She was appointed as the commander by the previous Madam Yun until today.
But in the blocked news, Yun Shi has been missing for eight months.
The current Madam of the Yun family, Yun Yingxuan, sent countless people and spared no effort to find Yun Shi, but still failed to get any news about her.
As time passed, rumors spread. Some said that General Yun Shi died in a crusade against the zombies. Some even said that General Yun Shi had betrayed Xipo and joined the Lightless.
Although the person who spread the rumor was quickly found out by Clarkia and executed in public, the rumor could not be completely dispelled as long as Yun Shi did not show up.
Because...rumors can become facts.
Clarkya has not yet told Yun Yingxuan that what the zombie kept shouting for was for General Yun Shi to lead the zombies and the alien world to devour the sun and the moon again.
Yun Yingxuan's eyes were lonely. Compared to the noise in the Dome Army, she was more worried about what her elder sister had encountered and whether she would be in danger.
From beginning to end, she never doubted her elder sister.
She had noticed something was wrong with Yun Shi a year ago, but she didn't pay attention to it. It was all her fault...
"I may not survive this winter..."
"Madam! How can you say such a thing! You will live a long life and lead the Hanging Sky City to a better future!"
Clarkya was extremely distressed, and he would never accept it even if Yun Yingxuan said the truth.
However, as the vice commander of the Dome Army, Clarkia had to think about such a future.
He was not happy at all that he might take over the position of leader. If Yun Shi was really swallowed by the alien world, then one day in the future, the living corpse he would face would be the most powerful mutant in the history of Xipo...
And Yun Yingxuan, his beloved wife, would most likely not be able to bear such a blow and leave him forever.
Yun Yingxuan's smile was also extremely pale. She stroked the back of Clarkia's hand. It was so warm and full of power just like when they were together day and night.
"Klara..."
"lady."
"Maybe that day has not come yet, but I have to consider the future of Xipo and the Yun family..."
Her death was destined. She failed to give birth to a girl. The family could have been handed over to her elder sister, but now, her elder sister has also disappeared...
"Ma'am, that day has not come yet."
"Go call Rourou back. When he comes back, call all three children."
"yes."
"And the Dome Army... From now on, I'll be counting on you, dear Krakoa."
The man shuddered, and a flash of crystal clearness passed by the corner of his eyes. He bit his lower lip tightly, not wanting to make any disgusted sound.
Yun Yingxuan did not urge him, she knew that her beloved would definitely agree.
After a long time, Clarke finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"...Yes, ma'am."
Yun Yingxuan leaned on Clarkia's shoulder with peace of mind, intending to fall asleep like this tonight.
But that wasn't the only news Clarkea brought.
"One more piece of news, ma'am."
"What?"
"The eldest son of the Pu family, now perhaps it would be better to call him the young patriarch of the Pu family, has arrived in Xipo."
Yun Yingxuan immediately became interested.
The relationship between Xipo and Shennan has always been very good. The two families do not rely on marriage to maintain their relationship, but rely entirely on the Yun family's investment in Shennan.
"You're the kid who came back from the dead, right? Something very interesting must have happened. Tell me about it."
Clarkia immediately began to tell what she knew. Although the fact that Diane poisoned (cursed) the head of the family and the eldest son was well kept secret, the fact that Diane was under house arrest could not be hidden from everyone.
"All in all, the company is now managed by the eldest son of Shennangui, Puyis, and as far as I know, he has done an excellent job."
Clarkia was also generous in his evaluation of friendly forces.
Yun Yingxuan smiled and said, "He didn't bring Rourou back with him?"
"No, they are from Lanster, and the reason is naturally to accept the commission."
It is inevitable to recall the past. Yun Yingxuan took over the Yun family when she was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a brother who was jealous of her to death above her and countless Dome Army lives below her. Fortunately, she had the help of her elder sister at that time.
One can imagine how much difficulty this child named Puys had to go through.
"Take care of them if it's convenient. Tell the two kids to treat each other well. Xipo already has internal troubles, and we must not have any external troubles."
"Yes, ma'am."
——
"Eh? Why are you here?" Pomer told the truth honestly without any malice, "Don't you hate us?"
Yun Yaofeng:......
Puis could certainly see the extremely unhappy but incapable expression of anger on the young man's face, although he couldn't quite figure out why.
"Humph, do you think I am happy with this? If it weren't for my mother, I wouldn't bother with you."
Very good mama's boy, made my stereotype spin.
"No need to force it..." Bo Mo scratched his head. He felt that if Yun Yaofeng put on such a face in front of them all day, he would not be in a good mood... maybe?
Yun Yaofeng's eyes twitched, and then he looked away, "Just pretend I don't exist!"
He also wants to pretend they don't exist!!!
Pu Yisi felt his eyes go dark. Why are the children of the Yun family a little...stupid?
Yun Rou: Who are you scolding in a roundabout way?
Pomo pointed at the young man who was in darkness and said, "Es, can you pretend that he doesn't exist?"
"cannot."
"I can't do that either. He's like a moldy mushroom, emitting a dark and unpleasant odor, full of resentment."
Yun Yaofeng couldn't stand it anymore, "I won't serve you anymore! Tell that bastard to come over. I have already done what I did today!"
Pomo:? What did you serve?
"Oh my, why is my bastard brother angry again? He is so rude in front of the guests. It's a sin."
Speak of the devil, the 'bastard' that Yun Yaofeng mentioned appeared in front of them.
The boy who looked very similar greeted Bomo and Puisi with noble etiquette, "Nice to meet you. My name is Yun Xiangmei, the younger brother of this willful man, and also the older brother of Rourou. She had a great time in Shennan and asked me to look after you, so I am very happy to meet you."
Pomo blinked.
It seems like... there's another sister-con here?
There is something wrong with you Yun family!!!
Puis: ...
If I had known, I wouldn't have come with such fanfare.
