Chapter 474: Unable to Feel Happy at All

The Crown Prince never expected.

He arrived below Linggui City, only to be met with the betrayal of the City Defense Forces.

Under the fierce assault of the City Defense Forces, the Crown Prince could only continuously Retreat.

But the Crown Prince was already being pursued.

Even if the Crown Prince kept retreating, where could he possibly Retreat to?

Qi Ming, what exactly are you playing at?

When he saw the Lord of Linggui City standing on the City Wall, the Crown Prince roared.

The Crown Prince had never imagined that he would betray him.

Because Qi Ming, the Lord of Linggui City, was personally promoted by the Crown Prince.

At the time, the Crown Prince had thoroughly investigated Qi Ming’s background.

If nothing unexpected happened, Qi Ming might have been given even greater responsibility in the upcoming great War.

For the Crown Prince, Qi Ming absolutely had no reason to betray him.

Furthermore, his entire family, young and old, was in The Capital, held in the Crown Prince’s grasp.

So now… how dare he betray him?

“I have treated you well on a daily basis, and this is how you repay me?”

The Lord of Linggui City, named Qi Ming, shook his head:

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are mistaken… Although Your Highness has indeed treated me well, and I owe my current position to Your Highness’s promotion.

If I had met the Crown Prince earlier, perhaps I would have been one of the Crown Prince’s people… I would definitely have been eternally loyal to the Crown Prince…”

The Crown Prince of the Ten Thousand Demon Country frowned, feeling there was a hidden meaning in his words: “What do you mean by this?”

“What I mean is…”

Qi Ming continued speaking.

“But essentially… I was never one of Your Highness’s people to begin with…”

“Then whose person are you?”

The Crown Prince’s blood pressure shot up, and the feeling of betrayal was extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

If he could, the Crown Prince would immediately rush up the City Wall and chop off the opponent’s head.

“The Crown Prince believes that it was Your Highness who personally supported me, granting me my current status.

But in reality, when I entered the sphere of influence of Your Highness the Crown Prince, I was already a Subordinate of the Seventh Princess.

My life was originally saved by Her Highness the Seventh Princess.

I followed the Seventh Princess’s command and entered Your Highness the Crown Prince’s faction.

As expected, the Seventh Princess was right… In the end, Your Highness the Crown Prince placed me here in Linggui City.

And I waited for this day.”

Hearing that all of this was She Qiqi’s scheme, the Crown Prince gasped.

In the Crown Prince’s heart, there was a feeling of being firmly grasped by She Qiqi.

It was as if no matter how he struggled, he could never escape her Clutches.

“What about the lives of your entire family, young and old? Are you just going to abandon the lives of your entire family?”

Feeling the ground tremble, even though the Crown Prince was extremely furious right now.

But he knew he must now persuade him and then enter Linggui City.

Otherwise, he would lose this great War completely… He only knew that She Qiqi’s Iron Cavalry was already charging fiercely towards him.

Before long, their Weapons would reach him.

“The lives of my entire family?”

Qi Ming shook his head.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince might be mistaken about something… As I said, I was saved by the Seventh Princess when I was young… So, actually, I was an orphan to begin with… I am an orphan, and I have never married, so where would I get a family, young and old?

Those people were merely Death Row Prisoners. The Seventh Princess just gave them a chance to live, which was to act alongside me… In the end, they consumed the Seventh Princess’s Poisonous Pill.

Controlled by the Medicinal Pills of the Seventh Princess, if they wanted to live, they naturally had no choice but to serve the Seventh Princess with their lives.

If Your Highness the Crown Prince wishes to kill them, then kill them.

They were already Death Row Prisoners; being alive until now is the greatest mercy the Seventh Princess has shown them.”

“You…”

The Crown Prince hesitated, knowing he had been thoroughly schemed against.

“Alright, since the Crown Prince has finished his questions, then Your Highness the Crown Prince should prepare to depart.”

Qi Ming was seen on the City Wall, waving his hand grandly.

“Open the City Gates and welcome His Highness the Crown Prince…”

Qi Ming’s voice fell from the City Wall.

The next moment, the City Gates of Linggui City swung wide open.

Inside Linggui City, all the armies charged fiercely toward the Crown Prince.

At the same time, behind the Crown Prince, She Qiqi’s Iron Cavalry had already reached the rear of the Crown Prince’s Army.

The Crown Prince, who had intended to pincer She Qiqi from two sides, had now become a ‘Rou Jia Mo’ (meat sandwich), unable to defend both front and rear.

The Army under the Crown Prince was resisting fiercely, but before long, the Crown Prince’s Army would be completely annihilated.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, where there is life, there is hope. I will escort Your Highness away… Only if Your Highness the Crown Prince lives can there be a future!”

An Elder of the Immortal Realm emerged from the shadows and immediately carried the Crown Prince, fighting their way out of the encirclement.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Crown Prince’s remaining Army of fifty thousand was either killed or surrendered within that brief period.

Watching the Crown Prince leave protected by the Immortal Realm expert, She Qiqi did not pursue.

In She Qiqi’s view, whether the Crown Prince lived or died made little difference.

In fact, as long as the Crown Prince didn’t die, it could bring She Qiqi even greater benefits.

“She Qiqi! My Fifth Brother! You all wait for me, I will never forget this debt.”

High in the sky, the Crown Prince took a deep look at She Qiqi on the battlefield.

Sensing that her respected Elder Brother was still watching her, She Qiqi turned back and smiled sweetly toward her Elder Brother in the sky.

Seeing She Qiqi’s smile, that smile caused the Crown Prince’s blood pressure to skyrocket.

The Crown Prince was so frustrated that he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and then fainted in the arms of the Immortal Realm Elder.

No longer paying attention to her Crown Prince Elder Brother, She Qiqi fully directed her attention to the battlefield.

At this moment on the battlefield, under the suppression of She Qiqi’s powerful military strength, the situation was already one-sided.

She Qiqi did not resort to any schemes or tricks.

Relying purely on hard strength, she naturally defeated the Fifth Prince’s Army, totaling 450,000 troops along with his two Great Generals, causing them to Retreat steadily.

Even when the Fifth Prince announced a Retreat, She Qiqi had no intention of letting them off easily.

She Qiqi ordered a Pursuit.

Only after annihilating another fifty thousand of the enemy’s massive Army did She Qiqi halt the Pursuit order.

This battle was just the beginning.

Even though she won, She Qiqi didn’t care much about it in her heart.

She Qiqi knew that something bigger was yet to come.

Looking back at the battlefield, She Qiqi descended from the sky step by step.

The battlefield at this moment was a mess.

Crimson blood flowed beneath Xuanfeng City, staining the entire land red.

Countless Cultivators died in this great War.

But this is War.

Chu Yaoyao’s side, even if not completely annihilated, suffered heavy losses.

As for the Fifth Prince, the truly defeated party, his Army’s fate goes without saying.

It can be said.

Counting the four factions: She Qiqi, Chu Yaoyao, the Fifth Prince, and the Crown Prince.

Then three factions all lost.

The only winner was She Qiqi.

Now, as long as She Qiqi gives the order, she can occupy the entirety of Xuanfeng City.

It can be said that Chu Yaoyao’s fate is now in She Qiqi’s hands.

Of course, that is assuming this man hadn’t appeared… She Qiqi looked at Lin Xun, who was still standing in front of Chu Yaoyao.

“Husband, protecting another woman like this makes your Concubine very sad.”

Walking up to Lin Xun, She Qiqi straightened his collar for him.

“Of course, if Husband is willing, then it’s not impossible for this Seductive Fox to become Husband’s Secondary Wife…”

Lin Xun looked at She Qiqi in front of him and couldn’t help but shake his head:

“I don’t care what you want to do, because this is a matter of your Demon Race World.

But I promised a Little Girl that I would definitely save Chu Yaoyao’s life.”

“Alright, no problem…”

She Qiqi smiled slightly and waved toward Xuanfeng City.

“Enter Xuanfeng City!”

“Yes!”

Following a loud shout from She Qiqi’s Subordinates behind her.

She Qiqi’s tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry majestically entered Xuanfeng City.

Behind Chu Yaoyao, the remaining Army still wanted to resist, but Chu Yaoyao stopped them.

The Overall Situation was now decided.

Chu Yaoyao knew that her Army could no longer defeat the opponent.

Without making any futile resistance, She Qiqi’s Army entered Xuanfeng City without any hindrance.

In less than half a day, Xuanfeng City had completely fallen under She Qiqi’s control.

However, even though She Qiqi controlled Xuanfeng City.

She Qiqi did not harm the slightest bit of Chu Yaoyao’s remaining Army.

On the contrary, She Qiqi ordered that the injured Soldiers from Chu Yaoyao’s side be treated, and the fallen Soldiers be buried and given a resting place.

Chu Yaoyao’s Subordinates were very confused about She Qiqi’s current actions.

They couldn’t understand what exactly she intended to do.

In the view of Chu Yaoyao’s Subordinates, this was their weakest moment, and if She Qiqi wanted to eliminate them now, it would be the best opportunity with the least loss.

But why didn’t She Qiqi do this?

And why did she adopt a posture suggesting she wanted to cooperate with them?

As for She Qiqi’s Subordinates, although they also didn’t know why their Monarch didn’t completely conquer Xuanfeng City.

They rarely pondered the deeper meaning behind their Master’s intentions anymore.

For them, it was enough just to execute their Master’s orders without hindrance or question.

As for everything else, they didn’t need to think about it, because they wouldn’t understand it anyway… She Qiqi directly moved into the Lord’s Residence of Xuanfeng City.

Chu Yaoyao, meanwhile, was arranged to rest in a Separate Courtyard.

Lin Xun trusted that She Qiqi would not do anything to harm Chu Yaoyao, so he felt relieved.

Chu Yaoyao originally had many things she wanted to say to Lin Xun, but as soon as she arrived at the Lord’s Residence, the injuries she had accumulated immediately flared up, and she collapsed.

Chu Yaoyao remained unconscious for three full days, and Lin Xun guarded her side the entire time.

Although Lin Xun wasn’t worried that She Qiqi would assassinate Chu Yaoyao or anything similar.

But Lin Xun was afraid Chu Yaoyao might accidentally suffer some Mishap.

After all, Chu Yaoyao’s injuries were too severe.

Three days later, Chu Yaoyao finally woke up in the Courtyard.

Lin Xun had originally wanted to wait for Chu Yaoyao to wake up and ask her about the various situations over the years.

But before Chu Yaoyao woke up, Lin Xun was called out by She Qiqi.

Lin Xun knew that at this time, She Qiqi was going to proceed with her next objective.

Lin Xun would not stop whatever She Qiqi intended to do.

Lin Xun also had no reason to stop her.

Anyway, Lin Xun felt that all he needed to do was save Chu Yaoyao’s life, and nothing more.

As for the situation in the Demon Race World, Lin Xun would not interfere.

“Your Excellency Chu Yaoyao, my Master requests your presence…”

The moment Chu Yaoyao opened her eyes, as if she had calculated that Chu Yaoyao would wake up at this exact moment, She Qiqi’s Maid walked into her room right on time.

“I understand. Please ask your Master to wait a moment.”

Chu Yaoyao had too many questions in her heart.

Her mind was also filled with too much complexity and confusion.

However, Chu Yaoyao ultimately tidied herself up and even applied a bit of Makeup.

After changing into a clean set of clothes, she followed She Qiqi’s Maid to the Main Hall of the Lord’s Residence.

Inside the Main Hall of the Lord’s Residence, Chu Yaoyao’s Ministers had already arrived long ago.

Sitting on the High Seat in the Lord’s Residence was naturally She Qiqi.

In the seat beside She Qiqi sat Lin Xun.

Yes, it was Lin Xun… Chu Yaoyao would never forget his appearance… He had saved her once again; he had already saved her twice.

Seeing Lin Xun again should have been an extremely happy occasion for Chu Yaoyao, but she found that she couldn’t feel happy at all.

Furthermore, seeing Lin Xun next to She Qiqi, Chu Yaoyao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, feeling quite stifled.

On the other side, Lei Luo noticed Chu Yaoyao’s somewhat resentful gaze constantly fixed on Lin Xun.

In an instant, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that he understood something.

“Alright, don’t be so serious, why are you all so nervous? It’s as if I’m going to eat you.”

She Qiqi smiled slightly. She Qiqi, sitting high on the main seat of the Lord’s Residence, still looked so gentle.

Her voice was so soft, yet it hung over everyone’s hearts like a Sharp Knife.

“Don’t worry, we are still Allies. However, even Allies need to establish a hierarchy. This time, I merely wanted to seize a bit of the Initiative.

Or, to put it another way, this operation was originally meant to strike my Elder Brother and my Fifth Brother; your Xuanfeng City was just included incidentally.

If your Xuanfeng City hadn’t mobilized, nothing would have happened. But who told you to deploy your troops?

In short, I still need you to continue diverting the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s attention for me.

Therefore, regarding Xuanfeng City, I will still return it to you.

However, I have a curiosity, and I hope Her Highness the Second Princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan can enlighten me slightly.”

Chu Yaoyao glanced at She Qiqi: “What do you want to ask? Just ask it, don’t beat around the bush.”

“Little Fox, I’m not asking you, but Lei Luo next to you~”
