Chapter 446 Yu Shu, don't be afraid!
The night was deep, and the waning moon was hazy.
Xue Tong gripped his longsword tightly and telepathically asked Xue Lan:
"Is there a monster here?"
Xue Tong was drawing weapon-forging blueprints in the Wan Gong Fang workshop when he heard this and casually replied:
"There were monsters in the Yuanming Realm to begin with!"
Xue Tong's tone was somewhat unhappy. Looking at the trembling horses, the young girl felt a sense of utter despair about her life.
"You know what? Until just now, I thought I was playing a political intrigue game."
"That's not entirely wrong. But this is, after all, the Yuanming Realm." Xue Lan held a writing brush in her hand and spoke softly:
"You know you're involved in the fate of the dynasty, right?"
Xue Tong nodded slightly:
"Like Li Qing?"
Xue Lan put down her pen and gently clapped her hands:
“You are a promising young man. Although the demon race has always prohibited demons from easily interfering in the fate of human dynasties, there are always some demons that are not under the jurisdiction of these forces.”
"Without the cultivation of my clan, and without a place rich in spiritual energy for seclusion, in order to break through my cultivation level before my time was up, I had no choice but to rely on the destiny of the mortal dynasty."
Xue Tong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite:
"So, how do I operate this?"
"Simple, just perform the Fengshan ceremony!"
Xue Lan put away the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map on the table, her tone light and carefree.
“Find a suitable prince in a human dynasty, sign a contract with him, and have him promise to perform the Fengshan ceremony for him after he ascends the throne.”
Xue Tong couldn't help but ask, "You're daydreaming like Li Qing?"
Xue Lan slowly shook her head:
"A wicked person like him, how dare he compare himself to Lady Li?"
"It's less like a divine path and more like a termite, slowly draining the dynasty's life force."
“So…” Xue Tong swallowed, feeling a little nervous.
What should I do now?
She is now just a mortal who has no way to mobilize her own power.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Xue Lan waved her hand with a smile. Her tone was light and cheerful, showing no sign of being in a hurry.
"The destruction of the Great Yu Dynasty also involved the demon race, which meets the requirements of my experiment."
Xue Lan gently raised her hand, and a gentle soul light appeared on the woman's pale fingertips.
"That monster lurked in the shadows, its aura shrouded in mystery. I couldn't sense its origins outside the secret realm."
"Can you use a sword now?"
"Not bad!" Xue Tong looked at the longsword in his hand: "With good luck, I can kill two in three strikes."
Xue Tong was being completely modest. In this world, she is portrayed as a princess who has practiced martial arts since childhood and possesses extraordinary skills.
On the way to recall her old ministers, more than a dozen assassins died at her hands.
"That's good!"
Xue Lan pointed her fingertip slightly at the void in front of her, and the snow-white soul light disappeared from the woman's fingertip.
At the same time, Xue Tong felt an unusually cold killing intent suddenly appear in his mind, as if a cold spring had been poured in.
"What are you doing?" Xue Tong's voice trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid!" Xue Lan comforted Xue Tong.
"I left a wisp of my soul in you to protect you, and just now I used this wisp of soul to inject a sword aura into you."
The woman's voice was cold, tinged with a hint of disdainful laughter:
"You know how to use a sword, right? Once that demon comes out, just kill it with three sword strikes!"
Faint footsteps began to emerge from the surrounding bushes, and Xue Tong slowly drew his longsword from its sheath:
"I'll try my best."
Several dark figures flew out of the bushes, and Xue Tong only felt a flash of silver light in front of her. The girl quickly spun her sword, and a gleaming dart collided with her longsword before flying out and embedding itself in the neck of a horse.
The neighing of horses heralded the start of the assassination attempt.
Xue Tong tapped his sword against the carriage and spoke quickly in a low voice:
"Don't touch Second Brother's men!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Shu, who was inside the carriage, quickly curled up and obediently hid in a corner.
As she curled up, she also grabbed the short sword hidden in her sleeve.
Xue Tong breathed a long sigh of relief outside.
Besides her exceptional intelligence, what she admired most about Yu Shu was that she never caused trouble for others.
If they encounter an assassin, they will hide themselves well and will never run out shouting.
A sharp whistling sound came from behind. Xue Tong turned slightly to the side, letting the sharp arrow fly past the tip of her ear.
"Isn't he handsome?" The girl's smug voice reached Xue Lan's ears.
Xue Tong enthusiastically clapped his hands:
"So handsome! So dashing! You're truly amazing."
Upon hearing this, the girl leaped onto the roof of the carriage like a nimble swift, and slashed down one of the assassins.
"I like it, it will be cloudy!"
"While you're at it, could you also help me find out where that demon is?"
The girl was much more composed than before she returned to her own world, which made Xue Lan curious about what she had experienced in her own world.
"it is good!"
In the pitch-black night, two groups of people clashed, the air filled with the sounds of weapons clashing. Yu Shu hid alone in the carriage, her heart pounding wildly.
Although this wasn't the first time she had been assassinated, every time she encountered such a scene, she couldn't help but think of what happened during her previous life when she was sent to a marriage alliance.
Amidst endless slaughter and wailing, the Western Rong people killed all her followers. Finally, they tortured her to death.
The woman gripped the dagger tucked in her sleeve, repeatedly reminding herself:
"do not be afraid!"
"Yu Shu, don't be afraid!"
"You must change your destiny, you must live well!"
Just as the woman closed her eyes and desperately tried to comfort herself, a clear female voice suddenly came from in front of her:
"Fifth Sister, don't be afraid. I'll stay with you!"
Yu Shu suddenly looked in front of her.
In the dim, flickering candlelight, Xue Tong, dressed in black, was looking at her with a gentle smile on her face.
"you……"
Yu Shu had barely opened her mouth when she realized something was wrong after uttering only one word.
This isn't her!
A cold sweat instantly broke out on the woman's back.
Xue Tong would never leave the guards outside to come in.
Yu Shu looked at the smiling girl in front of her, her hand hidden in her sleeve tightening around the short knife.
Should we wait for Tong'er to come and save us?
Should we make our move here?
What was in front of me was clearly not human, but a monster from legend.
After pondering for a moment, the woman lowered her head slightly, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.
She didn't want to always be seen as a coward by those around her.
Now that you've decided to intervene in the struggle for the throne, then today...
She decided to believe in fate for once.
If fate has fallen upon her, even if this journey ends in utter destruction, it will ultimately clean up the mess.
She, Yu Shu, will not stop!
The woman gently raised her head, revealing a flustered expression to the person opposite her:
"Tong'er!"
The woman held the girl's hand.
"Are we about to lose outside? Let's run!"
Upon hearing this, "Xue Tong" on the other side smiled slightly, a flash of contempt in his eyes.
"OK!"
The instant she uttered a sound, a jeweled dagger plunged into her chest.
Yu Shu's eyes were bloodshot. The woman smiled and turned the blade, uttering a shrill question:
Why...why won't you let me live a good life?
