Xiao Xi nodded at Xiao Ye with hope.
"Xiao Xi is hungry and wants to go home," she said.
Xiao Ye, sure that Xiao Xi had fully recovered, took her to enter the city. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xiao Xi turned and saw Bai Qian'er's figure. Her beautiful eyes were filled with darkness.
"He is mine."
Hearing Xiao Xi's provocative voice, Bai Qian'er's heart ached immensely.
"Master, please give me a chance, I beg you."
Xiao Ye ignored Bai Qian'er, his back turned as he walked away.
But then, she suddenly made a desperate move.
Xiao Ye heard the startled cries of Gu Feng and the others behind him.
Xiao Ye paused his steps, turned, and saw the materialized blade in Bai Qian'er's hand.
She shakily pressed it to her face, looking at Xiao Ye with mournful eyes. "This face is what I care about most. Now I will destroy it as atonement for you, Master, alright?"
Bai Qian'er's beautiful eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and with a heartbroken gesture, she slashed.
A deep bloody gash appeared from her forehead to her mouth.
Recalling the love in reincarnation, Bai Qian'er's lips trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
A touch of broken beauty appeared on her delicate face.
Her dominance and arrogance instantly transformed into a scene of tragic pity.
Bai Qian'er was exceptionally vain and deeply cherished her appearance.
At this moment, besides destroying her face, she could think of no other way to apologize to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye watched Bai Qian'er's pathetic expression with indifference. The blood on her cheek slowly dripped onto her hand.
"Master, Qian'er knows she was wrong."
She had personally witnessed Xiao Ye calling her name before he died in reincarnation.
Bai Qian'er refused to believe that Xiao Ye no longer cared about her.
Yet, that's precisely how he appeared to be.
Even when she injured her face, he remained unmoved.
Bai Qian'er's heart sank even further, and she madly cut her own face.
After disfiguring herself, she laughed, "Master, do you see my sincerity?"
"I truly know I was wrong."
The astonished crowd in the city watched Bai Qian'er's frenzied act with utter shock.
Bai Qian'er must be crazy to disfigure herself to beg for the King's forgiveness.
"Boom!"
Black energy suddenly flew towards Bai Qian'er, and the blade in her hand flew away.
Bai Qian'er was ecstatic, believing Xiao Ye had softened.
His black energy was released onto Bai Qian'er's face, quickly healing her disfigured features.
Her skin, as delicate as a hen's egg, became instantly plump and rosy.
"You can recover from disfigurement, isn't this 'bitter flesh' strategy hypocritical?"
Xiao Ye's gaze was utterly indifferent; he was tired of Bai Qian'er's games.
"Then can Master turn me into an infected one?"
Bai Qian'er no longer knew what else to do. She looked at Xiao Ye frantically.
She begged him to infect her, if only to gain his forgiveness.
Hearing this, Zuo Wang's body stiffened.
Would he have to extract black energy from him again?
Having his black energy extracted was not a pleasant experience, and he shivered slightly.
Xiao Ye watched Bai Qian'er with amusement, finding her quite interesting.
Before seeing the memories, she had wished to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones.
Now, she was so humble she wished to become an infected person.
However, would Xiao Ye grant her wish?
"If you can go to the Alliance and retrieve the Myriad Dharma Heavenly Tome,"
Xiao Ye glanced at the pleading Bai Qian'er and said calmly, "I can consider your apology."
Considering an apology was one thing; whether he would kill her or not was another.
The Myriad Dharma Heavenly Tome…
That was an artifact of the Alliance, said to be their ultimate trump card.
The Myriad Dharma Heavenly Tome was a sacred object with extremely great destructive power.
It was rumored to be capable of destroying anything.
It was also because of this sacred object that Zuo Wang had been able to wreak havoc on Blue Star for so long.
He dared not venture into the Blue Star Alliance's territory.
Though Xiao Ye was unafraid, being fully prepared was always better.
"You want me to retrieve a sacred artifact?"
Bai Qian'er's face turned pale, and she clenched her fists.
If she stole the Alliance's Myriad Dharma Tome, she would truly be a traitor and a criminal.
Compared to transforming into a female war god, Bai Qian'er betraying Blue Star was far more intriguing.
Seeing Xiao Ye's cold eyes, Bai Qian'er took two difficult breaths.
As long as she could help her Master, would she be forgiven?
She flew away.
As for whether Bai Qian'er agreed or refused, Xiao Ye did not care to find out.
Because…
He would soon let Bai Qian'er and the others witness the destruction of the homeland he protected.
Xiao Ye walked into the city with Xiao Xi, greeted by the excited gazes of countless residents.
"King, we almost didn't get to see you!"
"Your Highness Xiao Xi, are you alright now?"
"Your mount is so handsome, what kind of exotic beast did you subdue?"
Gu Feng and the others gathered around Xiao Ye, their eyes fixed on the majestic and handsome Dragon Horse.
The Dragon Horse, with black flames at its feet, transformed into a human figure before their eyes.
The joyous faces of Gu Feng and the others instantly froze, and they instinctively cried out, "Zuo Wang!!!"
The surrounding residents turned pale. They had heard of Zuo Wang's cruelty.
Upon seeing Zuo Wang, they couldn't help but turn ashen.
Zuo Wang stretched lazily and said cordially, "Hello everyone, I am King Xiao's mount."
"Ah?!"
Gu Feng and the others were stunned, seeing Xiao Ye's calm expression.
Zuo Wang knew that this group of insignificant ants had followed Xiao Ye for a long time.
Adhering to the principle of joining the winning side,
Zuo Wang shook hands with them all cordially to ensure his future comfort.
The infected individuals around were all dumbfounded, trembling with fear.
Zuo Wang licked his lips, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.
They gleamed brightly.
"Gu Feng, arrange for them to boss around Little Zuo and have him help with tasks in the city."
Xiao Ye said calmly, pulling Xiao Xi along as he walked deeper into the city.
Gu Feng and the others looked at Zuo Wang tremblingly. This was the most powerful being before Xiao Ye.
Did they dare to order him around?
However, Zuo Wang was currently under someone else's roof and was quite sensible.
"Feel free to order me, Little Zuo, if you need anything."
Zuo Wang patted their trembling shoulders.
Gu Feng and the others swallowed and said, "Why don't you go carry a few bags of rice and flour first?"
He mobilized the surrounding subordinates to help with the work, and a group of skeletons eagerly grabbed the sacks and carried them.
After an afternoon, the residents of the city had also come to accept Zuo Wang's presence.
The city had improved considerably, but Zuo Wang still felt it was poverty-stricken and desolate.
"Fight! We must quickly make Xiao Ye seize Blue Star's territory."
"I can't stand this kind of life for another day."
Zuo Wang, covered in sweat, joined the manual labor.
…
The Blue Star Alliance received the news of their entire army's annihilation. The atmosphere throughout the Alliance became frozen.
Zhao Yongde was shocked to receive the news, "Zuo Wang became Xiao Ye's mount, and Commander Li and the others are all dead?!"
"It's over. If things continue like this, Xiao Ye will attack the Alliance before long."
The highest authorities, the elders, were filled with intense anger.
"Do we really have to sue for peace with Xiao Ye?"
They had already fallen out with Xiao Ye, and the demonic creatures had been drawn into the city.
If they sued for peace now, would Xiao Ye accept it?
Suddenly.
Elder Yan burst through the door, his face filled with joy.
The elders looked at him confusedly, "Elder Yan, why the long face?"
"The Alliance Leader has emerged from closed-door cultivation!!"
