Chapter 146 Weird
"Reporting to Your Highness! We captured a group of women the day before yesterday, intending to present you with a great surprise."
He deliberately dragged out his words and even made a gesture of "great surprise," as if he were talking about some extraordinary achievement.
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Wu Bailie, hoping to see a satisfied smile on the eldest prince's face.
But all that was seen was Wu Bailie frowning, about to reprimand him, when he was interrupted by General Chu's next words.
"But on our way back, two women with superb martial arts skills suddenly appeared."
They were like fairies... no, witches, who fell from the sky.
The two of them released all the women we had painstakingly captured.
And their skills were incredibly fast. I fought them wits and courage for a full three hundred rounds... Just when I was about to be defeated, General Lian arrived in time.
The general spoke while gesturing, his exaggerated movements making people laugh, as if he had really fought three hundred rounds with those two women.
"And then?" Wu Bailie asked impatiently.
"Later, even General Lian came to our aid upon hearing the news. I thought we were safe now, but... but then General Lian also..."
The general suddenly fell silent, a flicker of fear and embarrassment crossing his eyes.
"What was the result? Tell me now!" Wu Bailie roared.
"As a result, even the general was... captivated by the white-haired girl's beauty... oh no, he was defeated by her martial arts skills."
After the general finished speaking, he quickly corrected himself, fearing that the eldest prince would misunderstand him as saying that the general was infatuated with beautiful women.
But as soon as he said it, he felt that his words didn't quite sound right.
So he quickly added, "Ah... no, no, it was when General Lian was fighting her that he suddenly got hungry."
Yes! It was General Lian who was hungry!
Then he stopped and asked me if I wanted food. At that time, I was fighting with another woman, and that was how I responded to General Lian.
Finally, perhaps because General Lian was too hungry, he told me to retreat quickly, and the white-haired woman seized the opportunity to strike with her sword…
"What? Even the General is hungry? Are you sure you're not kidding me?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Bailie almost laughed in anger.
(If General Lian's soul were here, he would surely be so angry that his soul would be scattered.)
"Listen to the fuck what you're saying. Me, hungry? You're the one who's hungry."
Lao Tzu was clearly saying, "Let that little girl see my bravery."
Following this general, I guarantee she'll live a life of luxury and wealth.
How come it's become "hungry" when it comes to you? This is an insult to my intelligence and handsome image!
Wu Bailie stared wide-eyed at General Chu, as if he were watching a huge joke.
The Chu general felt a chill run down his spine under Wu Bailie's sharp gaze.
But he still mustered his courage and continued, in a half-joking tone:
"Your Highness, you must believe me. I am telling the truth."
At that time, even General Lian's stomach was growling with hunger. He kept saying, "Food is the foundation of life, and you'll get hungry if you miss a meal," and insisted on asking me if I had any dry rations with me.
And guess what? He was probably just starving.
Suddenly he shouted "Retreat!" at me. Before I could react, he stood there frozen, not moving an inch.
Sigh...and then that white-haired woman slit his throat with a single sword strike.
At this point, the Chu general even pretended to wipe the corner of his eye with his hand.
He put on a look of utter grief yet also a mixture of amusement and despair.
Wu Bailie was almost amused by his performance and asked, "Oh? A white-haired woman? Is that white-haired woman really that powerful?"
It's all because of this phrase "white-haired woman" that the word somehow got out.
Later, people in the martial arts world all knew that there was a White-Haired Witch in the Spirit Kingdom.
After Xiaoyue rescued some people, everyone called her: the White-Haired Fairy.
Upon hearing this, the Chu general immediately adopted an exaggerated expression.
"Waaah... Your Highness, you have no idea."
The white-haired woman's martial arts skills were unfathomable; even when my subordinates and General Lian first joined forces, they were no match for her.
After finally managing to get rid of the other woman, I turned around and saw General Lian lying in a pool of blood.
"I had to risk my life to escape."
Seeing Chu's comical appearance, Wu Bailie's anger miraculously dissipated by more than half.
He shook his head helplessly, thinking, "What kind of team is this? How could they produce such a bizarre and ridiculous general?"
However, Wu Bailie quickly suppressed his smile.
He looked at the Chu general seriously and said, "Enough, stop talking nonsense here."
General Lian sacrificed himself for our country; he is the pride of our Gu Xuan Dynasty.
We should respect his sacrifice and remember his achievements.
The Chu general felt a little uncomfortable under Wu Bailie's serious gaze and quickly put away his funny expression.
He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes...yes...the eldest prince is right...we should respect General Lian's sacrifice..."
Looking at General Chu's appearance, Wu Bailie felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Although some members of this team may seem unreliable, everyone is working hard towards a common goal.
He patted the general on the shoulder and said, "Alright, don't blame yourself here."
The situation is urgent now, you should go back and rest.
Tomorrow, after you wake up, you will join me on the expedition to defeat the soldiers of the Spirit Kingdom.
Once we capture Jiaxian County and the surrounding smaller towns, Ling Kingdom will be ours for the taking.
This can be considered revenge for General Lian; his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
Upon hearing this, a look of determination and resolve flashed in the eyes of the Chu general. He bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Wu Bailie stood there, gazing at the distant sky, silently praying and mourning for General Lian.
On the other side, Daya and Xiaoyue rode their horses together, slowly making their way along the winding mountain road.
Xiaoyue was slightly dazed because it was her first time trying acupressure.
Thanks to Daya's meticulous care, their journey was slowed down.
Xiaoyue looked at Daya, her eyes shining with determination: "Sister Daya, I really feel much better now."
"Look at my face now, my complexion is rosy, and my breathing is steady. We can speed things up a bit; I'm really fine now."
Daya turned around, her eyes full of concern: "Are you really sure there's no problem?"
This acupressure technique has extremely high requirements and is also very physically and mentally demanding.
My only worry now is whether you've truly recovered completely. It would be troublesome if there were any lingering problems.
Xiaoyue smiled gently, waved her hand and said, "Sister Daya, don't worry."
Under those circumstances, you wouldn't let me use that forbidden technique either, saying the risk was too great.
There's no other way but to use acupressure.
I just didn't expect this acupoint striking technique to be so powerful, and to consume so much energy after using it.
But I feel incredibly energetic right now, like I've just woken up. We can hurry on our way.
Daya gently patted her shoulder and laughed, "Okay, okay, I know you're amazing."
Since you insist, let's speed things up a bit.
But if you feel unwell at all, please tell me immediately, okay?
Xiaoyue nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will definitely tell you if I feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Da Ya gently patted the horse's back, and the horse seemed to understand its master's intention, quickening its pace.
Seeing this, Xiaoyue quickly urged her horse on and followed closely behind.
"Big Sister Ya, wait for me!" Xiaoyue's voice carried a hint of coquetry, yet it was also full of energy.
Da Ya laughed and said, "You wanted to be fast, so what? Now you don't want to walk a little faster?"
Xiaoyue chuckled, "Oh, Sister Daya, I was just saying. Look, I've caught up, haven't I?"
The two horses, one in front and one behind, left cheerful hoofbeats in the mountains and forests as they continued on their way toward their destination.
