Chapter 454: Give Her Royal Highness a Quick Death!

“Ah.”

“You!”

“Wait!”

“Ah!”

Screams of agony echoed throughout the courtyard.

When Que Yu walked out of the room, several corpses were already lying outside.

Before long, firelight illuminated the entire courtyard.

A crowd of Yao Race soldiers and Cultivators rushed in, surrounding Que Yu and Lin Xun.

Yueer woke up at this time. Seeing these people filled with Killing Intent, she hid behind Lin Xun in fear, tightly clutching the hem of his robe.

“City Lord! Are you planning to betray my father?”

Looking at the City Lord of Xiao City, Que Yu’s brows furrowed, her gaze cold and sharp.

“Whom has the City Lord sided with?”

The City Lord of Xiao City shook his head, looking somewhat helpless.

“Your Highness, I am truly sorry. Actually, I didn’t want to betray you, but the Second Prince simply offered too much!”

“Therefore, I must trouble Your Highness to die here today.”

“Go! Give Her Royal Highness a quick death!”

With a wave of the City Lord’s hand, everyone swarmed forward!

To be honest, Lin Xun felt that this City Lord must not know about the ambush that happened in the forest.

Otherwise, this City Lord would never have dared to cause trouble.

Among these people, the strongest was only this Nascent Soul Realm City Lord.

If he knew that even those in the Jade Purity Realm had died at Lin Xun’s hands, he definitely wouldn’t have come seeking death.

Or did this City Lord actually have some hidden trump card?

Well…

Lin Xun realized he had overthought it.

In less than ten breaths of time, Lin Xun had resolved everything.

The City Lord of Xiao City was already kneeling before Lin Xun, begging for mercy.

“Don’t beg me. You should ask this woman if she wants to kill you or not.”

Lin Xun glanced at Que Yu behind him.

The City Lord caught the hint and quickly crawled to Que Yu’s feet, kowtowing and weeping, begging for her to spare his life.

But in the end, Que Yu only let out a sigh and turned away.

Seeing that his hope for survival was gone, the desperate City Lord grew ruthless and suddenly lunged, intending to take Que Yu down with him.

But just as he was halfway through his strike, his Divine Soul was extinguished by a single spear thrust from Lin Xun.

After the City Lord died, Que Yu took control of Xiao City.

After appointing a lieutenant of Xiao City as the acting City Lord, Que Yu and Lin Xun set off.

On the way to Bo Kingdom, Que Yu encountered several more assassination attempts.

However, no matter who the opponent was, in front of Lin Xun, these assassins were merely there to deliver Yao Cores.

Que Yu discovered that the reason this man collected Yao Cores was entirely for the Yao girl by his side!

This man treated the Yao girl exceptionally well!

He treated her just like his own younger sister.

However, when it came to cultivation, he was extremely strict and demanding.

But no matter how strict Lin Xun was, the Yao girl named Nan Yueer never complained. Even with tears in her eyes, she would do her best to meet his requirements.

And after being strict, the man would show his gentle side.

To be honest, Que Yu felt a faint sense of envy toward Nan Yueer.

Because this Lin Xun truly cared for her.

Compared to her, Lin Xun was completely indifferent.

It wasn’t that Que Yu liked Lin Xun or anything like that.

It was simply that Que Yu felt uncomfortable with Lin Xun’s differential treatment.

After four days of flying, Lin Xun had already brought Que Yu back to the capital of Bo Kingdom!

Seeing those towering city walls, Que Yu’s brow furrowed slightly, looking quite uncomfortable.

“The Crown Princess doesn’t want to go back?”

Seeing Que Yu’s expression, Lin Xun couldn’t help but mock her.

“Your moat looks quite deep. Do you want to jump in and take a look?”

“Thank you for the suggestion, but it’s not necessary.”

Que Yu gave Lin Xun a smiling glance, took a deep breath, and walked into the city!

Upon entering the capital of Bo Kingdom, people soon arrived to receive their princess.

As “distinguished guests,” Lin Xun and Nan Yueer were naturally invited into the imperial palace.

In the palace, Lin Xun finally took a comfortable bath and then slept soundly for a night.

At this point, Lin Xun wasn’t worried about any assassinations.

They had no grievances, and he had even saved the man’s daughter.

The King of Bo Kingdom wouldn’t be so bored as to assassinate him.

On the second day, Lin Xun and Nan Yueer remained in the palace, but the King of Bo Kingdom still hadn’t summoned Lin Xun for an audience.

On the third day, a maid finally came to see Lin Xun.

Upon meeting Lin Xun, the King of Bo Kingdom was very enthusiastic, walking forward and taking Lin Xun’s hand:

“Thank you for saving my daughter. Your kindness, Young Master, is something Bo Kingdom can hardly repay.”

“The King is too polite,” Lin Xun said with a smile.

“I heard that the Young Master wishes to borrow our kingdom’s supreme treasure—the Bingge—for a look?”

The King of Bo Kingdom showed a troubled expression.

Lin Xun was momentarily stunned.

Bingge?

What was that?

Lin Xun looked at Que Yu standing to the side, who was smiling at him.

“Oh, yes. I indeed wish to borrow your kingdom’s Bingge for a look. I wonder if it is convenient for the King?”

If Lin Xun guessed correctly, Que Yu must have told the King: ‘The reason Young Master Lin saved me is because he wants to see our kingdom’s treasure, and I agreed.’

This was quite good.

And quite clever.

Que Yu had not only cleverly hidden his identity but also fabricated a motive for him.

Having a request wasn’t scary.

On the contrary, it would put the King of Bo Kingdom at ease.

But what was the Bingge?

“To be honest with Young Master Lin, the Bingge is where the Luck of my Bo Kingdom resides. Recently, because the Ten Thousand Demon Country has been somewhat restless, it has been under a Seal by a Magic Formation.

If the Young Master wants to see it, it’s not impossible, but you need to be tainted with the aura of our Bo Clan.”

“Hmm?” Lin Xun was puzzled.

What did ‘tainted with the aura of the Bo Clan’ mean?

What was the meaning of this?

“It’s like this.”

The King of Bo Kingdom explained to Lin Xun. Toward this Cultivator who was very likely in the Immortal Realm, the King still hoped to maintain good relations.

“Young Master Lin only needs to spend more time with members of my royal family, and that will be enough.

Soon, my daughter will be heading to the Demon Capital for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If Young Master Lin can accompany her, the round trip will be enough for you to be tainted with the aura of our Bo Clan.”

“…”

Lin Xun suddenly felt that this fellow wanted to get him to be his daughter’s bodyguard for free.

Lin Xun looked at Que Yu; her smile grew even wider.

No need to think about it; this suggestion was definitely her idea.

But it didn’t matter. A bodyguard it is. After all, he originally wanted to sneak into the palace of the Ten Thousand Demon Country anyway.

Having the identity of a bodyguard as a cover would be good.

“Of course, Bo Kingdom has prepared one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, a thousand bolts of Immortal Silk, and a thousand beauties as travel expenses for the gentleman.”

Seeing Lin Xun’s silence, the King of Bo Kingdom spoke up.

“In that case, let it be so,” Lin Xun’s tone sounded somewhat helpless.

And it was precisely this bit of helplessness that completely set the King’s mind at ease.

“When do we set off?”

“We set off tomorrow.”
