Xiao Shao closed his fingers, then gently put his hand down, and said, “I will not slaughter.”

Lin Shu: “Hmmm.”

He continued to watch Xiao Shao.

After a long time, Xiao Shao lightly said: “Although I have become a body of resentment, however, I only wish to …… be a human being for a lifetime.”

After a pause, he looked into the distance and continued: “Today, I swear that from now on, whether a person has cultivated in Demon Dao or Immortal Dao, whether he is an enemy or a friend, Xiao Shao would never use this magic power to hurt anyone in the world. If this oath is violated, let purple lightning descend from the heavens and destroy my spirit completely.”

His voice was soft and flat, but Lin Shu knew that this man, if he said so, would do so.

In the beautiful dawn of the sun, Xiao Shao seemed to put down a worry that was plaguing him.

Lin Shu looked at him.

In any case, Xiao Shao’s personality seems to have remained the same.

Maybe it had changed a little, but the bottom line was still the bottom line, without the slightest wavering.

With Xiao Shao’s current strength, it would not be difficult for him to produce clouds with one turn of his hand and rain with another, he could easily destroy and slaughter the Northern Xia Imperial City, and unify the Northern and Southern Xia. At this moment, it was not difficult at all.

But Xiao Shao had never been an unscrupulous man.

Xiao Shao turned around and looked at him: “Shall we go back now?”

Lin Shu nodded, and after a moment, he had some questions and asked him, “What realm are you in now?”

Xiao Shao frowned, “I do not know.”

Lin Shu tried to explore his internal breath, but he saw that the real Qi was thick and unfathomable in the meridians. The Qi was as deep as an abyss and it could no longer be said to be in the realm of Crossing the Tribulations.

Xiao Shao controlled his arm to turn it into blood mist, and then changed back. He said, “It seems I am now immune and indestructible and won’t be hurt by any weapons or spells”

He looked at the Folded Bamboo Sword hanging on Lin Shu: “Have a try?”

Lin Shu drew his sword out of its sheath.

Xiao Shao exposed his wrist to him.

Lin Shu expressionlessly slashed towards his wrist.

Xiao Shao: “You don’t even feel any distress when cutting me.”

Lin Shu: “After all, I’m a sword pract.i.tioner who practices the Heartless Dao.”

And he slashed down.

First, it was like hitting an iron wall. It didn’t even scratch the surface of his skin. Then, Xiao Shao said he would remove the defense and to try again.

Then it cut through very smoothly. The sword tip pierced Xiao Shao’s skin without hindrance, but the place where the skin and bones that were cut by the sword edge turned into blood mist. The sword blade lightly cut through, then the blood mist closed, and healed the wrist unharmed.

Weapons could pierce flesh and blood, but even the most divine immortal weapons couldn’t do anything to the blood mist.

Then the question arises.

The Great Wizard died. Lin Shu stabbed him through the heart, and the man was definitely dead.

Since the body of resentment could not be hurt by any weapons and spells, how did he kill the Great Wizard?

Xiao Shao said, “Maybe you took him by surprise and he didn’t have time to defend himself.”

Then he refuted himself: “The body made of blood mist does not need to be defended.”

Lin Shu put forward an idea: “The Sword Pavilion Mental Technique is for killing evil and destroying demons. Maybe there is something special in the Heartless Sword intent.”

Then he also refuted himself: “But just now I also stabbed you with the Folding Bamboo sword.”

The discussion failed to produce any answers. Xiao Shao said, “It’s all right. The dead are gone.”

He seemed to be a little disappointed: “He was not a very evil person, but his heart was confused. Though it is strange, I sometimes felt that he was not a stranger. He seemed like an old acquaintance, but I don’t remember ever knowing him. “

Lin Shu seriously explained to Xiao Shao: “In short, he is dead. Whether you want to think about it or not, that’s the way it is.”

Xiao Shao said solemnly: “My Baby has a point.”

Lin Shu: “……”

After this incident, they got up and went back to Jubei Pa.s.s .

Taking advantage of the twilight and the fact that the sky was not bright yet, Xiao Shao held him and took a flying leap from the top of the tower, flew over the whole Northern Xia Imperial City, and then went south.

After an hour of flying over nothing but wastelands, there was a checkpoint between the mountains. This was the Jubei Pa.s.s.

Xiao Shao had unconsciously changed himself back to Ling Fengxiao. He was dressed in a magnificent red meandering dress. When he landed at the top of the city walls, the soldiers shouted “Paying respects to Her Royal Highness Fengyang”.

Her Royal Highness Fengyang answered with a proud and indifferent tone, “Get up.”

Immediately, a general asked Her Highness to move to the camp and arrange for the defense.

Her Highness went to the camp, but was a little reluctant to leave and told Lin Shu, she would come back soon.

Lin Shu felt that, since the Great Wizard was dead, Southern Xia’s biggest threat was gone. It was indeed gratifying that the Big Miss didn’t have to spend too much energy from now on.

He then went back to his residence.

“Master!” Qinglu greeted him.

Lin Shu: “Have you finished reciting the Qing Yang Sword Skill?”

Qinglu escaped away carrying a sword: “I will carry it out!”

Right.

Lin Shu continued to walk in.

Lingsu was practicing her sword under a plum blossom tree in the courtyard. Each stroke was crisp and neat. It was very beautiful. When he came, Lingsu saluted and said, “Pavilion Master.”

Moving further in, the room was lit with a stove for warming, and Fruit was teaching Yingying to play chess.

Seeing him arrive, Yingying stretched out her hand to hold him.

Holding his soft and warm little daughter, Lin Shu looked at the chess board, Yingying was not good at chess, and was still too young, so the board was showing signs of weakness.

Fruit happily flaunted that he was at the verge of successfully producing three fruits. Then a pair of eyes very similar to Ling Fengxiao looked at Lin Shu and then looked at the chessboard, clearly asking to play with him without saying anything ——- Lin Shu picked up the chess pieces and played with him.

Time pa.s.sed quickly, and within a few games, the sun was almost half-way up in the sky.

There was a sudden chaos of soldiers at the door. A messenger soldier rushed in and was stopped by Lingsu’s sword: “Don’t be rude.”

Fruit pulled Lin Shu out following the sound, the messenger soldier knelt in front of Lin Shu, seemed a little nervous, and did not know how to properly address him: “This, this Young Master… Immortal Lord, Pavilion Master, please save us!”

Lin Shu frowned slightly: “What is it?”

The messenger said, “Her Highness suddenly became extremely furious and severely punished more than a dozen Military Officers. Now she has summoned all the Generals and is torturing them one by one. The people in the big tent are all terrified and very anxious. The old General really had no choice but to request the Pavilion Master…… The Pavilion Master is Her Highness’s Lord husband. Maybe you can persuade her to stop. Requesting the Pavilion Master to come and persuade Her Highness. Otherwise these dozens of Military Officers and Generals’, might end up losing their heads today!”

Lin Shu frowned: “Why is Her Highness in a rage?”

“This ……” the messenger looked embarra.s.sed and reluctant to say: “I also do not know, for no reason, Her Highness Fengyang suddenly changed her temperament ……”

Lin Shu gestured to him that he didn’t need to say more: “Take me there.”

The messenger was glad to lead the way.

Lin Shu didn’t really care about how many people’s heads would roll on the ground. There must be a reason why Ling Fengxiao wanted to punish them. In the past, he was just a little afraid that the resentment in Ling Fengxiao’s body would cause harm to him by making him excessively angry.

The camp was solemn. A row of Officers and Generals were kneeling in the front. No one even dared to breathe loudly.

A piece of paper and writing brush seemed to have been thrown to the ground, along with a broken inkstone.

The messenger led Lin Shu from the back, so he couldn’t see Ling Fengxiao’s expression from his position. He could only hear the cold voice that was like frost: “Seventeen prohibitions, fifty-four beheadings, repeatedly violating the three rules, aggravating the crime, drag them out…”

Lin Shu came out from behind the wooden screen and saw Ling Fengxiao’s cold eyes and expressionless face, while the Military General kneeling on the ground was shaking all over like a chaff in the wind.

Looking at the ashen face, it looked like Ling Fengxiao already had said something like, “Drag out and behead him”

Ling Fengxiao caught a glimpse of Lin Shu’s silhouette at his side

Then the tone eased: “… Drag him out, he should be beaten 100 times with the baton and then report to the ammunition army chief.”

The General seemed to have been granted amnesty. He fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably and was dragged away by two armed soldiers.

At this moment, an old general with gray hair who was standing on the right side of Ling Fengxiao also looked at him and lightly breathed out a sigh of relief, as if seeing the Savior.

Lin Shu looked at Ling Fengxiao’s face again.

Not really angry.

Really, in his usual– normal condition.

The Big Miss had been domineering for 20 years. Losing her temper was really no big deal.

These soldiers had been at the border for a long time and didn’t know much about Her Highness Fengyang. They thought that the “princess” was a soft-spoken young lady. At this time, the gap in their imagination and reality was too large, and they were easily frightened into a s.h.i.+vering mess by Ling Fengxiao’s momentum, whose aura was close to the realm of Land Immortal. They were so scared and desperate that they ran to him and asked him to rescue them.

Lin Shu walked over.

Ling Fengxiao took his hand and seemed to want him to sit down.

However, Lin Shu did not choose to share a seat with the Big Miss, but stood on his right side.

When the Big Miss first came to the military camp in Jubei Pa.s.s, she only brought some elite soldiers and she was a woman. These soldiers at the border were not convinced of her authority. Ling Fengxiao was obviously making an example out of people and warning everyone at the same time.

Since she was making an example of others, Lin Shu couldn’t go and sit down next to the Big Miss– it would undermine her authority.

When the old General saw that Lin Shu not only didn’t stop Ling Fengxiao, but also stood beside him, his expression showed his despair.

Lin Shu was unmoved. Looking at the soldiers under him, kneeling and not even daring to breathe loudly, he even thought it was interesting —- In all honesty, his aesthetics had gradually changed over the years. He felt the Big Miss’s domineering, powerful appearance when wielding absolute control over others was very beautiful.

The Big Miss continued to deal with military affairs.

Lin Shu listened at the side and heard three things.

One was gathering people to gamble, the second was with-holding soldier’s pay and the third was plundering money from the inhabitants of the country. In the end, nine people were beheaded and more than thirty dismissed, and for the others, punishment varied. In total, more than a 100 were punished.

At the end of the show, each and every soldier present at the scene were silent and dejected —–Seeing the dejected look, the Big Miss scolded them again with more words.

Finally, only Ling Fengxiao, Lin Shu and the old General were left in the big tent.

The old General glanced at Lin Shu for a moment when he left.

It was a look that hated iron for not becoming steel. What it said was: I thought you, as Her Highness’s Lord husband, could control and suppress her in front of a crowd. But you turned out to be a boytoy who was instead an accomplice to the villain!

This look made Lin Shu want to laugh.

The Big Miss got up, took Lin Shu’s hand and said to go out for a walk.

Pa.s.sing through the military drill ground, reaching to the top of the city walls. As far as the eye could see, the scenery was full of yellow sand and boundless sky.

Ling Fengxiao sat at the top of the city walls and leaned against Lin Shu’s shoulder.

Lin Shu was afraid that the hairpins would hurt the Big Miss. He took them down one by one and put them in his hand.

Although the Big Miss was not angry, she was very upset, he could feel it.

After a while, Ling Fengxiao said, “The Northern Pa.s.s has been lax for a long time, old General Zhou has been too lenient. I will reorganize them within one month.”

The lax atmosphere of Jubei Pa.s.s, they had come to know about it as early as three years ago when he and Ling Fengxiao disguised as Danzhu and Yusu, had sneaked into the Red Tent. Objectively speaking, this camp really should be cleaned up.

Unexpectedly, Ling Fengxiao said, “However, when you’re not with me, I feel very restless and become very aggressive.”

Lin Shu thought about it and returned a sentence, “Not very aggressive.”

Ling Fengxiao then laughed.

The beauty smiled like a peony blooming, and with the little cinnabar mole at the corners of her eyes was both austere and charming. The image was soul-stirring.

Lin Shu asked, “Is your heartbeat okay?”

Then, he wanted to reach out and check, but he stopped half-way.

In the past, the sh.e.l.l of Ling Fengxiao depended on bone transformation and disguise, but now the body was made of illusion.

Since it was an illusion, did the Big Miss have b.r.e.a.s.t.s now?

Lin Shu attempted a visual inspection.

The visual inspection failed, so he opened his mouth and asked, “Are you now …… a real woman?”

Ling Fengxiao said, “I don’t know what a real woman’s body looks like. I cannot visualize it.”

Then the expression moved, eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a creepy light: “The chest can roughly come out.”

Then, with a flash of blood mist, Ling Fengxiao caught Lin Shu’s hand and pressed it on his chest.

Lin Shu was caught off-guard for a moment, so his hand was pressed against the chest. He just felt an unfamiliar softness bulging under his hand.

He reflexively retracted his hand as if it had touched fire.

This man, however, was perverted and wouldn’t let him take it back.

Lin Shu was neither pressing nor not pressing. The whole person was frozen and his blood was also about to stop flowing.

The atmosphere was very weird. Just then the sound of footsteps could be heard behind them. It turned out to be the old General, who was coming up. It seemed that he had something to say to Ling Fengxiao.

However, Her Highness Fengyang was being frivolous at the moment. Pressing someone’s hand at her breast and laughing and shaking.

The old General’s face turned green, and immediately turned back, down the tower, pretending that he had never been here.

——According to the normal situation, Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao really couldn’t see the old General from the angle they were in, but now one of them was in the realm of Crossing the Tribulation, and the other was close to the Land Immortal realm. How could they not know?

Lin Shu coughed stiffly, and his words were incoherent: “You… Pay attention.”

The Big Miss raised her eyebrows: “Southern Xia’s rivers and mountains are all mine, what reputation do I want?”

“I ……” Lin Shu had difficulty breathing and continued to try to remove his hand: “I …… am not used to it.”

The Big Miss thoughtfully pressed her other side of the chest: “It’s very strange.”

Lin Shu was finally released.

The Big Miss also chose to stay flat.

Lin Shu still hadn’t recuperated fully. His breathing was uneven.

Ling Fengxiao couldn’t stop laughing and playing around for a while. Finally, he lay quietly in his arms. His inky-black hair was scattered. The corners of his eyes were slightly red. The cold fragrance on his body was light. It was the kind of scent that often a.s.sailed his nose when they were in the academy.

Lin Shu hugged him, smelling the familiar scent on his nose, and suddenly felt the past was like a distant dream.

When he first met the bad-tempered young lady of Phoenix Mountain Villa, he never could have imagined and expected that such a day like this would come.

But the person in his embrace was his wife, for her beauty was like flower, her youth like pure water. Time was fleeting in front of his eyes. Though he only felt like a moment had pa.s.sed, it was already five years since they first met each other.

He moved his gaze away from Ling Fengxiao and looked at the boundless heaven and earth in the distance. After a while, he couldn’t help but take his gaze back again and look down at Ling Fengxiao’s eyes.

Ling Fengxiao smiled at him.

With this smile, Lin Shu again felt that he didn’t seem like an emotionless sword cultivator anymore.
