274 The Rise and Fall of the Royal City III
An unprecedented pain, as if this were the very beginning, a bittersweet longing gently welled up in my heart. Without thinking, I quietly moved behind Sister Yunqing, remaining silent.
At this moment, truly, this feeling is impossible to dispel; it just left my brow only to rise again in my heart. I never understood the pain of unrequited love before, but now I suffer from it. Helpless, so helpless.
Again, I know that unrequited love is futile, yet my melancholy is a kind of unbridled madness. My slender shadow is reflected in the spring water; you must pity me as I pity you. But words cannot be uttered. My straightforward nature prevents me from easily expressing my feelings. I cannot contend, nor do I wish to. At this moment, I silently endure the pain of unrequited love at the beginning of my life.
Xixi, being understanding, looked at the pretty Yun Shuni and instantly understood the girl's thoughts. However, she didn't know how to comfort her, as she didn't understand the specific relationship between them. She needed to wait patiently. She gently took Yun Shuni's hand and whispered to distract the girl.
Yun Su was also taken aback, a variety of different thoughts swirling in her mind, and her heart was filled with complex emotions.
Wanqing and Rourou also came to Yun Shuni's side, gently moving closer, hoping that the warmth at this moment could slightly divert her attention.
He nodded slightly, saying casually, "In that case, I'll leave things to you all."
After saying that, he added softly, "On this trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are some demonic beasts; I'll trouble you to help deal with them."
Yun Qing nodded silently and said, "Don't worry, son-in-law. The army has extensive experience in dealing with various demonic beasts."
Hearing that Yun Qing had some misunderstanding, he didn't say much. He gently tapped his finger and came to the open space in the middle. At this moment, he stood alone in the void, the night wind raging and gently brushing his clothes, like an immortal descending to earth.
At this moment, the moonlight, as clear as if washed, bathed him, casting a silvery glow upon him. Faintly veiled by clouds, he was elusive and possessed an extraordinary bearing, standing tall atop the mountain, indifferent to worldly splendor and undaunted by worldly storms.
A pair of bright eyes, sparkling like stars, seemed to contain endless wisdom and profundity. Dressed in black, accompanied by the night, her clothes fluttered and danced in the night wind, further highlighting her otherworldly beauty.
With a gentle step, it instantly attracted the attention of numerous soldiers, like the brightest star in the night sky, dazzling! It was also ancient and mysterious, able to penetrate the barriers of time and space, even the moonlight came to celebrate and submit!
Without the son-in-law making any move, countless demonic beast corpses poured down like rain, like a raging flood, instantly piling up to several meters high, towering above the city walls.
The mountain of demonic beast corpses seemed several meters higher than the city wall, resembling a colossal mountain. The young master stood quietly atop the corpses, his gaze indifferent, watching the mountain of demonic beast carcasses.
The monster's corpse fell to the ground, kicking up dust and smoke. At this moment, only the young master's lonely voice could be heard. The wind stopped blowing, and he trembled. The moonlight was even colder, as if he was also trembling with fear.
Yun Su, Yun Qing, Yun Shuni, and Xi Xi were speechless with shock at the shocking scene before them.
Like a million soldiers crossing a great river, they were unstoppable and overwhelming. It was as if one could see a lone figure facing a thousand troops, beheading enemies like flies, with blood flowing like rivers, and invincible in all directions!
And then there's Wanqing and Rourou. Although they were right beside me back then, seeing so many—probably hundreds of fifth and sixth-order demon beast corpses—again, I still remember the scene: corpses everywhere, limbs flying everywhere, my lover slaughtering in all directions, his momentum like a rainbow shaking the four fields, causing all ghosts to flee and all the heavens to tremble.
Truly, a heroic spirit soars to the heavens. The surging waves roll in thousands of layers, jagged rocks pierce the sky, and the crashing surf churns up a thousand piles of snow!
Yun Heiyi, Baiyi, and Zhang Dazhuang stared in disbelief at the mountain of demonic beast corpses piled up before them, seemingly several meters higher than the city walls, resembling a colossal mountain peak. They gestured to themselves, realizing that if they were attacked by so many demonic beasts, their only option was to flee quickly, or their true energy would be depleted, leading to instant death.
The initial pride and slight sense of arrogance that came with becoming King Wu instantly vanished, replaced by a profound sense of awe for the vast world.
The corpses piled up like mountains. The process of the son-in-law eliminating the monsters was still vivid in his mind. He saw the terrifying and horrified look in the monsters' eyes, their expressions of fleeing, their disbelief, and some monsters' eyes flashing with bloodlust, ferocity, cold light, sharp claws and teeth, tearing the several-meter-long corpses into pieces.
One can imagine that if one were in such a situation, one would be enveloped by a variety of fears and despair. It would be as if one could see a figure wielding a large sword, exuding an invincible aura, with the wind howling and the Yi River cold, a hero going forth never to return, his invincible figure clad in golden armor after a hundred battles in the yellow sands!
The son-in-law was like a majestic mountain rising abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds. The blade flashed, tearing through the sky and shaking the mountains and earth. The blade's light was vast and boundless; facing the giant bears, birds of prey, hungry wolves, and demonic snakes coming from all directions, its world-destroying power was completely neutralized with a single strike.
Like a sword of divine punishment, it shattered mountains and destroyed forests wherever it went. A horde of demonic beasts from all directions, under such devastating power, turned into a rain of blood. The air seemed to freeze, like wheat fields falling before a sickle. In the deathly silence, it was as if the demonic beasts had never existed.
Only before them lay a mountain of demonic beast corpses, some several meters long—wolf demons, bear demons, snake demons, and others. Though dead, these terrifying beasts still exuded a chilling aura, as if recounting the fact that their son-in-law had slain the horde of demonic beasts.
I don't know who started it, but the calls of "son-in-law," "son-in-law," and so on, formed a torrent of voices that lasted for a long time.
He nodded slightly, and in a flash, he appeared beside the women. He spoke softly to Yun Qing and the now somewhat aloof Yun Shuni, "Then I will trouble the soldiers."
Yun Qing, Yun Shuni, with her delicate, cherry-like lips, her lips clearly defined, luscious and vibrant, their color like peach blossoms, now stood there, her lips slightly parted, like a small, slightly open cherry mouth, staring in disbelief, still not having recovered her senses.
Yun Qing nodded gently and said, "Don't worry, son-in-law. With so many demonic beasts, it will probably take a while, but I imagine all the soldiers are very willing."
She gently agreed, "Alright, then I'll trouble you. Take out 20% of these demonic beasts and distribute them among the soldiers. As for the demonic cores, Su'er will handle them."
Yun Su nodded, her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at her lover, at the great hero in her heart, just as she had chosen him in the first place, her gaze direct and full of love.
He said softly, "Don't worry, Shen Lang, leave the rest to us."
She looked at him gently, then said with affection, "Xixi has some new grain varieties brought from the Ten Thousand Mountains. Su'er will arrange for them to be planted and see how they go. The rest of the details will be a hassle; thank you for your hard work, Su'er."
A light "Mmm" was the answer!
