Chapter 66: Signs Before Yan Ling Ji's Appearance
"The Baiyue were destroyed because they blocked Qin's path," Xia Bing analyzed. "If the Baiyue could rebuild elsewhere and not block anyone's way, why would Qin want to destroy them?"
You mean...
"I mean, restoring a kingdom doesn't necessarily have to be in the same place," Xia Bing said, looking at her. "If you're willing, I can help you find a new home."
"A new home?" Yan Lingji was stunned. "Where?"
"You'll know when the time is right," Xia Bing smiled. "Right now, I only want to ask you one question."
"What did you say?"
"Are you willing to believe me?"
Yan Lingji remained silent.
She looked at the man in front of her, her heart filled with complex emotions.
What this man said was truly shocking.
Can he really help her restore her country?
"I......"
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a chilling aura wash over her.
"who?!"
She turned around abruptly and saw a man in black robes appear outside the pavilion.
He was shrouded in a black robe, revealing only a pale face with sunken eyes and purplish lips, making him look like a walking corpse.
"A corpse-driving demon?!" Yan Lingji's expression changed drastically.
"Little girl, you know me?" The Corpse-Driving Demon chuckled sinisterly. "That makes things easier."
His gaze fell on Xia Bing.
"You're Xia Bing?"
"It's me." Xia Bing stood with her hands behind her back, her expression indifferent. "What brings you here?"
"By order of Lord Ji Wuye, I have come to take your life!" The Corpse-Driving Demon waved his hand, and more than a dozen dark figures emerged from the darkness behind him.
Upon closer inspection, those weren't people at all; they were clearly corpses!
Their skin was bluish-purple, their eyes were hollow, and they reeked of decay.
"The Corpse-Driving Demon." Xia Bing looked at him. "You'd better think this through."
"Think clearly about what?"
"The consequences of offending me."
"Hmph!" The Corpse-Driving Demon sneered. "Boy, you think you're invincible just because you defeated Bai Yifei? Let me tell you, my corpse puppets are immortal!"
"Yeah?"
Xia Bing raised her hand and flicked it lightly.
A golden light shot out from his fingertips and landed on the corpse puppets.
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The bodies of those corpse puppets instantly emitted a puff of green smoke, then crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of withered bones.
"What?!" The Corpse-Driving Demon's expression changed drastically. "How is this possible?!"
His corpse puppet was impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire. How could it be destroyed in one move?!
"Your corpse puppet is indeed powerful," Xia Bing said calmly, "but it has met its match."
"Nemesis?"
"The Sacred Heart Technique," Xia Bing said, looking at him. "It's specifically designed to counter all evil arts. Your corpse puppet is an inanimate object, making it a perfect counter to it."
"you......"
A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Corpse-Driving Demon.
He knew he wouldn't get the better of him today.
"Xia Bing, you just wait!"
He vanished into the darkness in a flash.
Xia Bing watched his retreating figure but did not chase after him.
"Xia Bing."
Yan Lingji's voice rang in my ears.
"Um?"
"You...you were telling the truth just now, weren't you?"
"What?"
"You said you could help me restore my kingdom." Yan Lingji looked at him, her eyes full of expectation. "Is it true?"
"Of course," Xia Bing nodded, "as long as you're willing to cooperate with me."
"......"
Yan Lingji remained silent.
She looked at the man in front of her and made a decision.
"Okay." She took a deep breath. "I do."
"real?"
"Really." Yan Lingji nodded, "But I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"You must prove your strength," Yan Lingji said, looking at him. "Defeat Tianze to prove you are capable of confronting the Qin Kingdom."
"No problem." Xia Bing smiled. "Tianze will come looking for me sooner or later. You'll see then."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Yan Lingji turned and left.
But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Xia Bing.
"Xia Bing."
"Um?"
"Where is the new home you mentioned...?"
"Let's talk about it after I unify Korea." Xia Bing smiled at her. "You'll find out then."
"......"
Yan Lingji looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
This man is getting more and more interesting.
When Xia Bing returned to Zi Lan Xuan, Zi Nu was already waiting at the door.
"How did it go?" she asked. "What did Yan Lingji say to you?"
"She said she was willing to cooperate with me." Xia Bing walked into the courtyard.
"Cooperation?" Zi Nu was taken aback. "What kind of cooperation?"
"To restore the nation."
"Restore the kingdom?" Zi Nu's expression changed. "You want to help the Baiyue restore their kingdom?"
"I have that idea."
"Are you crazy?" Zi Nu frowned. "The Baiyue were destroyed by the Qin state for so many years, how could they possibly restore their kingdom?"
"It's all about human effort." Xia Bing looked at her. "As long as Yan Lingji is willing to come with me, I have a way to help her."
"you......"
Zi Nu looked at him and suddenly sighed.
"Xia Bing, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Become stronger." Xia Bing looked at her. "And then, protect the people I want to protect."
"......"
Zi Nu fell silent.
She knew that Xia Bing's decision was beyond her control.
This man carries too much on his mind.
"Never mind." She shook her head. "Whatever you want to do, I'll support you."
"Thank you." Xia Bing smiled at her.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Young master! Young master!"
A guard rushed in, looking flustered.
"What's wrong?"
"Bai Yifei... Bai Yifei is here!"
"Bai Yifei?" Xia Bing raised an eyebrow. "What's he doing here?"
He said... he said he wants to see you!
"Interesting." Xia Bing's lips curled into a slight smile. "Let him in."
"yes!"
……
After a while.
