Xuanyuan Qi knew that he could not withstand Nangong Yu's attack, so he immediately handed Ling Xiang to Murong Rong and Yuan Zhengqing, and told them to leave quickly. He then turned back into his original form and fought hard against Nangong Yu to buy time for them to leave.
Yuan Zhengqing immediately took the two girls away, however, Nangong Yu seemed to want to keep them. He surrounded them with powerful energy, forcing them to stay where they were.
"Is he crazy?" Murongrong didn't understand why the King of Qin suddenly attacked. "Could it be that he's been possessed by something evil again?"
Yuan Zhengqing frowned: "No, he is still the King of Qin, but he is not the same King of Qin as before."
"What do you mean?"
"Perhaps His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is under the influence of a possessed object, or perhaps he's affected by the energy here. In short, he's in danger now! We must find a way to awaken the original His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin."
Ling Xiang frowned and opened his eyes. He just heard Yuan Zhengqing's words. Seeing Xuanyuan Qi and Nangong Yu fighting fiercely, he asked:
"How do I wake up Nangong Yu?"
"I don't know." Yuan Zhengqing shook his head. "The King of Qin right now is different from when he was possessed. It seems that he still has his own consciousness, but not much..."
Bang!
With a loud bang, Xuanyuan Qi was knocked hundreds of meters away by Nangong Yu and hit an invisible barrier. Severely injured, he could no longer maintain his dragon form and turned back into a human.
Nangong Yu raised his hand and mercilessly delivered a fatal blow to Xuanyuan Qi.
"No! Don't kill him, he is Xuanyuan Qi, your cousin!"
Ling Xiang rushed over to save people regardless of everything, but she was too weak. As soon as she walked out of the barrier, she was injured by the aftermath of the battle. She fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Manman!" Murongrong was frightened and immediately ran over to help Ling Xiang. As soon as she came out of the barrier, she was knocked away by the aftermath of the battle outside.
Yuan Zhengqing also rushed over at the first moment, but was hit by Murong Rong. Both of them were knocked away and fell to the ground unconscious.
Ling Xiang struggled to get up, and a pair of hands suddenly appeared, grabbing her jaw and forcing her to look up: "Is he so important to you? Is he worth risking your life for?"
It was Nangong Yu! Ling Xiang's voice trembled: "Did you kill him?"
Nangong Yu had an indifferent expression and remained noncommittal. He increased the strength of his hands and insisted, "Is he that important?"
"Let her go!" Xuanyuan Qi supported himself with his sword and struggled to stand up, pointing his sword at Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu slowly condensed an arrow and pointed it at Xuanyuan Qi: "Since you are my cousin, I will leave your body intact."
Feeling the murderous aura around Nangong Yu, Ling Xiang had no doubt that Nangong Yu really wanted to kill Xuanyuan Qi, and hurriedly stopped him: "Nangong Yu! Don't!"
"You, like him?" Nangong Yu's murderous intent grew stronger than ever. His attack condensed at his fingertips, ready to strike, ready to take Xuanyuan Qi's life at any moment. "You are my princess! You can only like me!"
Ling Xiang forced herself to calm down, staring at Nangong Yu, and slowly smiled: "The one Ling Xiang has always liked is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin..."
Xuanyuan Qi was extremely shocked. Just a moment ago, Ling Xiang was relying on him wholeheartedly, but the next moment, she said she liked someone else?
Nangong Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, forcing Ling Xiang to move closer to him. He stared at her expression carefully, emphasizing each word: "What did you say?"
Ling Xiang raised her head and looked into Nangong Yu's eyes, her expression sincere and honest: "In the mountains outside the capital, the moment I first saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, Ling Xiang fell in love with you."
Nangong Yu's expression slowly changed, and warmth gradually appeared in his cold and ruthless eyes. He slowly let go of Ling Xiang.
He thought, if he hadn't treated Ling Xiang like that in his previous life, Ling Xiang must have loved him terribly, right?
"Cough cough..." Ling Xiang held his chest and coughed very uncomfortably.
Nangong Yu took out the pills on his body and said: "You are seriously injured, treat your injuries first."
Ling Xiang took the pill and put it into her mouth with great effort. "Nangong Yu, are you still the same as before? If you become a monster I don't recognize, I will change my mind."
Nangong Yu's expression changed, and he said firmly: "This king will not change, but if you dare to change your heart, I will kill anyone who approaches you!"
"Then prove it to me, prove that you won't be affected by other things, won't lose control of yourself and hurt innocent people." Ling Xiang said expectantly.
However, Ling Xiang underestimated the impact of the energy here on Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu's expression, which had just improved, gradually turned back to indifference: "Ling Xiang, nothing can affect this king. Whatever this king wants, this king will get it himself. I don't need charity from anyone, including you!"
Ling Xiang suddenly smiled: "Nangong Yu, based on your understanding of me, am I someone who would compromise?"
Nangong Yu was doubtful: "You, marry me! Then I will believe that you really love me!"
"Okay! I'll marry you!" Ling Xiang agreed immediately. "After we've settled things here, we'll return to the capital. After the three letters and six ceremonies, Your Highness will marry me as the Princess of Qin with a grand ceremony."
Xuanyuan Qi covered his heart, unable to believe that Ling Xiang actually agreed to marry Nangong Yu without hesitation: "Ling Xiang, are you really going to marry him?"
"I was originally going to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. If Gao Zhenzhen hadn't gotten in the way, I would have already been the Princess of Qin." Ling Xiang didn't even look at Xuanyuan Qi, but gazed at Nangong Yu affectionately, swearing to the heavens,
"I, Ling Xiang, swear to heaven that I am willing to marry the King of Qin as his consort. If you break this oath, I will die a miserable death!"
Nangong Yu's expression softened, and he gently took Ling Xiang's hand: "Okay! Three letters and six gifts, ten miles of red dowry, as long as you want, I will give it to you."
Ling Xiang gently clasped his hand: "Are you willing to completely destroy everything here for me?"
Nangong Yu frowned: "This is the source of my energy, why would you destroy it?"
"Because this place will absorb other people's energy." Ling Xiang struggled to condense a trace of spiritual power, and the spiritual power was immediately sucked away. "Perhaps, the energy that the formation here wants to absorb includes yours. This is not ours, there will always be hidden dangers, it is better to kill it."
Nangong Yu opened his arms and said domineeringly: "Xiang'er, don't worry, everything here is under my control."
Ling Xiang released her body's instinctive defenses, allowing the formation to absorb her spiritual energy. "I still prefer the confident and proud King Qin of the past. Well, since you like him, I'm willing to be useless here."
"No, I won't let you get hurt!" How could Nangong Yu bear to see Ling Xiang get hurt? He immediately trapped her in his own barrier.
However, it was useless. His barrier could not protect Ling Xiang. Ling Xiang's spiritual power was rapidly lost and his cultivation level dropped rapidly.
"How could this happen?" Nangong Yu panicked.
"The formation here is designed to absorb energy and summon ancient beasts. It's beyond human control. Your Highness, Prince Qin, I'm afraid Ling Xiang won't be able to survive this crisis and fulfill his promise..."
