As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 394 How could someone as wicked as me die so easily?

"Why are you so slow-witted?"

Ling Yu was all too familiar with that voice.

This person loves to deceive and flirt with others; he is dissolute, frivolous, and reckless.

but……

She liked him the most too.

A sudden gust of wind dispelled the gloom, and sunlight streamed into the dark world of the mind.

The girl, who was crying while hugging herself, suddenly raised her head.

"Husband..."

A blood-stained hand gently touched the face of the person before him.

So real, so beautiful.

Ling Yu didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

She didn't know whether she was in the human world or the underworld.

However, no matter where you are, whether it's the ends of the earth, a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, or a hellish inferno... having this person in front of you is good enough.

As the sun set, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they faced the terrified gazes of everyone.

Killer Star suppressed his maniacal laughter and simply hugged the person in front of him tightly.

Ignoring the bloodstains all over her body and disregarding the stares of others, she planted a fierce kiss on him.

A stinging sensation came from the corner of my lips, and the smell of rust spread.

Rarely wild and unrestrained, passionate and resolute.

……

No matter what happens, time will never change according to human will.

Time will always heal all wounds. In broad daylight, the phoenix descends, the killing star draws its sword, and everything is thrown into chaos.

But as Mingchen returned and night fell, everything returned to calm.

However, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and outside the execution platform, corpses littered the ground.

Tens of thousands of brave warriors from the Northern Frontier are buried here forever.

They paid the price for their leader's bold decisions with their lives.

The remaining survivors were either imprisoned by Qian Yuan or left with lifelong nightmares, and fled in a sorry state.

Some fled, some surrendered.

Today, the 100,000-strong Northern Army marched in with great fanfare to attack the city, only to be annihilated here.

One man could fight against an army of 100,000.

From this day forward, the name of Ling Yu the Killer Star will likely leave a significant mark on history.

Mingchen returned and appeared before everyone in a grand and open manner, which can be considered as completely shattering the enemy's fabricated tricks and deceptions.

Lord Ming is not dead; everything was a lie.

This put the minds of all the troops at ease.

Mingchen is everyone's anchor; as long as Mingchen stands, there is always hope.

Of course, the Qian Yuan soldiers stationed at Xingtai Pass looked at Ling Yu with more awe and fear.

Their commander is a monster capable of taking on ten thousand men single-handedly.

The night was quiet, and even the full moon in the sky seemed to be stained with blood because of the day's carnage.

Inside the main tent of the execution platform, everything returned to calm.

The terrifying killer who exuded murderous aura during the day was now lying peacefully asleep on the couch, his red lips slightly parted, breathing softly, quiet and serene, even more beautiful than the goddess in the heavens.

At least that's how Mingchen sees it.

In the eyes of lovers, even a hideous scar is beautiful.

No one could possibly connect such a beautiful woman with that crazed, murderous monster.

Suddenly, she seemed to dream of something terrifying, all the peace and beauty shattering. Her brows furrowed, she gripped Mingchen's hand tightly, like a child lost and unable to find its mother, repeatedly and anxiously saying, "Don't...don't go..."

She was a great general trusted by all, a leader who commanded all heroes.

He usually has a tense expression, serious and focused, maintaining the aura of a general.

No one could see her so vulnerable, so tense.

Mingchen rarely saw his usually generous and poised older sister show such unease.

He lowered his eyes slightly, stroking the scar on her face, and murmured softly, "Don't worry, I won't leave."

"This will never happen again."

Ling Yu's progress bar for killing stars has probably advanced significantly today.

However, Mingchen didn't want to see her like this.

His wife now roams the battlefield like an elf, dancing and killing, becoming a butcher's nightmare feared by all.

But only Mingchen could feel how sad, how desperate, and how painful she was.

His wife was devastated.

She was on the verge of collapse, killing indiscriminately.

After Mingchen arrived, she fainted in his arms, just like when she went mad in front of Zhenling Pass.

"You should trust me once in a while! I'm the worst of the worst, I'm bound to cause trouble for generations to come!"

Mingchen gently stroked her smooth forehead and said with a soft laugh, "You're not that easy to die, are you?"

It's no wonder Ling Yu is blamed.

She naturally didn't want to believe that anything had happened to Mingchen.

However, Fuyao's madness misled her.

……

The next day, the sun rose.

"General, we can't hold on any longer!"

"We can't hold on any longer; the eastern city wall has been completely destroyed."

"These Qian Yuan people are very well-equipped, armed with firearms; they came prepared."

"We have suffered heavy casualties and cannot withstand the next charge!"

"General, what should we do?"

The war at Xingtai Pass has ended.

However, on the other side, it is still in full swing.

The Qian Yuan army attacked from an unexpected angle in the east.

The river, which used to block the enemy, has now become a breach point.

Qian Yuan's counterattack was too fast and too ruthless.

A surprise force crossed the sea, the city walls were breached by cannon fire, and a group of spirited warriors shouted as they charged toward the pass.

After a night of fierce attacks, the Beilie garrison, already caught off guard, was already struggling to hold out.

The entire command post in Guanzhong was in complete chaos.

The defending general, Zhang Shuheng, looked rather grim.

The enemy forces were advancing rapidly, and Zhenling Pass was in grave danger.

Regardless, he needs to hold on.

Zhenling Pass is an important asset of the Northern Lie, and this is the first time in hundreds of years that they have been able to penetrate so close to Qian Yuan.

If anything were to happen at such a perilous pass, how could he possibly face His Majesty again?
Moreover, General Ji is leading a large army in battles on the front lines. If something goes wrong on his end, he will face the risk of being attacked from both sides.

"General, General Qi has received our distress call and has sent reinforcements. We only need to hold out for another half day."

"Half a day?!"

Zhang Shuheng frowned.

Where is he supposed to get through this half-day?!

As if things weren't bad enough, just then, a soldier scrambled back into the tent and collapsed right in front of Zhang Shuheng.

"General!!!"

"Yesterday, the General announced that Mingchen was dead, which inspired our army, which launched a strong attack on Xingtai Pass with 100,000 troops."

"Who would have thought...who would have thought..."

His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had witnessed something terrifying: "A phoenix descended to earth, and divine fire burned the sky."

"Ling Yu went mad, like a demon in the world. He actually charged into the formation alone and killed tens of thousands of our soldiers. The morale of the army collapsed and the entire army was wiped out."

"The General... the General has also disappeared without a trace."

The reality is exaggerated beyond belief.

The soldier himself couldn't have said it unless he had seen it with his own eyes.

These words silenced the entire tent. Zhang Shuheng was struck dumb.

"This...how is this possible?!"

"That's an army of 100,000!"

"This this……"

That's utterly absurd.

No matter how fierce or powerful Ling Yu is.

How can one person withstand an army of 100,000?
No general in history has ever been known to have achieved such a feat.

Is this still a human being?
A general, his eyes blazing with fury, stepped forward, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and said fiercely, "Don't you dare try to sow discord among the troops here!"

Whether this is true or false.

He must be a fake now.

The soldier met his angry gaze and kept crying out, "No...no, General, I, I didn't lie at all!"

The soldier, who was speaking incoherently, was then carried out.

Zhang Shuheng's gaze swept over everyone present.

With a sharp clang, he drew his sword from his waist: "Gentlemen, fight to the death with me!"

"Zhenling Pass must not be lost!"

Having said that, he took the lead and left the tent, striding confidently onto the battlefield.

The remaining generals looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and followed.

……

The bombing was relentless, the wars never stopped, and people were dying every minute and every second.

Another half day of fierce fighting has passed.

The reinforcements from Bei Lie finally arrived.

"General, quick, let's go support General Zhang!"

The horse neighed, and the lieutenant shouted anxiously to the leading general.

But the general stopped the troops behind him and sighed softly, "Stop!"

He pointed in the direction of the city gate: "Look."

A gentle breeze carried the faint scent of gunpowder and sulfur in the air.

But the blood-stained, fluttering Northern Fierce banner on the city wall had been replaced by the Black Dragon Banner of the Qian Yuan Dynasty.

……

"Young master, please don't worry. General Ling is fine, she's just tired and needs to rest."

The sun shines brightly, and everything returns to calm.

Although General Ling Yu fainted after his indiscriminate slaughter, Ming Chen returned, and Xingtai Pass regained its leader, so there was no unrest.

The situation at Xingtai Pass quickly stabilized.

News from Zhenling Pass at the front line has not yet arrived, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

A gentle and beautiful woman came out of the tent and spoke to Mingchen.

Long Lian was still somewhat conflicted about how to address Ling Yu.

She didn't want to be as flamboyant and outgoing as Fuyao. Having lived for over two thousand years, she couldn't possibly call Lingyu "elder sister." Calling her "younger sister" would seem presumptuous, calling her by her given name would be disrespectful, calling her "young lady" would feel too distant, and calling her "madam" would make her feel like a servant.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately addressed her as 'General Ling'.

To be honest, she didn't know why she was being so cautious.

Mingchen was unaware of Long Lian's inner thoughts. He simply nodded and then thanked Long Lian, saying, "Long Lian, we owe you a great debt of gratitude this time."

The chaos at Xingtai Pass was largely thanks to Long Lian, the MVP, who managed to remain calm.

Otherwise, with the combined madness of Fuyao and Lingyu, who knows what kind of chaos they would create here.

Fuyao's power is like a giant nuclear bomb; if she wanted, she could burn everything here to ashes, leaving no living beings alive.

That would flip the table and smash the chessboard.

The lives of others are far less important than the lives of those around you.

His only concern was that recklessly unleashing power, slaughtering human armies with forces exceeding their limits, would escalate the situation, ruin the game, and make things difficult to handle.

Ultimately, this caused them irreversible damage.

Fortunately... everything has settled down, and the current situation is still under control.

Upon hearing this, Long Lian pursed her lips and smiled faintly, "Young Master, please don't be so polite."

Long Lian has always been like this, quietly staying by her side.

It is as gentle and inclusive as water, making people feel at ease.

Mingchen asked her with some concern, "Won't forcibly leaving seclusion cause any harm?"

How is your injury healing?

Long Lian smiled, just about to shake her head: "No..."

But then his eyes flashed, his body swayed, his face paled, and he frowned, saying, "No...it's nothing."

Listen carefully to what they say; when they say "I'm fine," they don't really mean it.

Long Lian doesn't look like she's alright.

Mingchen frowned, leaning closer to her, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?!"

"Don't be stubborn! Tell me, what really happened?"

"Is my white fire still of any use to you?"

"How about I ask someone to find some solutions..."

"I met another extraordinary person on my trip south. Perhaps I should do him a favor and ask him for help..."

Mingchen had already used the white flame to heal Long Lian once before.

However, Long Lian was no ordinary person, and the injuries he suffered were not just physical.

The transformation of the Azure Dragon into a Dragon is not simply a matter of injuries.

Meeting Mingchen's gaze, Long Lian remained remarkably calm, for she saw her entire self reflected in his eyes.

Listening to his nagging and seeing his concerned expression... a warm feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

"Cuckoo~"

She seemed unable to hold back any longer, and bursts of giggles rang out.

This was an unusual attempt to deceive people, and she was starting to lose her composure.

Her taut, pale face regained some color, and a charming blush appeared on her cheeks.

For some reason, just a moment ago, when Mingchen asked her...

She deliberately didn't want to tell the truth; instead, she pretended to be hurt and wanted to see how the person would react.

Well-behaved children often don't get much attention.

She simply didn't want to interact with him in that rigid, formal way.

"It's okay~"

"Young master, I'm really alright."

"It's not completely healed, but it won't cause any problems once you leave the pass."

The usually quiet and beautiful woman suddenly smiled mischievously and winked at Mingchen.

There's a subtle sense of contrast.

It's as if it's saying: See? You got tricked! You always like to lie to people, you always like to play tricks on people, and this time you've been tricked by me!
The ethereal beauty chuckled, as if she had stepped down from the heavens to the mortal realm, imbued with a touch of everyday life, making her seem almost tangible and more real.

Mingchen: ?
"Okay!"

"Well, Long Lian, you've gone bad too!"

"So you realize you were teasing me?"

Mingchen glared fiercely at Long Lian, feigning ferocity: "How dare you!"

If it were that mischievous Fuyao trying to pull this fake illness act on him, he would have seen through it on the spot.

Unexpectedly, when Fuyao honestly said that she was fine, Long Lian instead started to tease her.

Even Long Lian, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed the revolution.

The obedient Long Lian is usually quiet, calm and dignified, with no criminal record. Ming Chen trusts her completely and has no suspicions.

Unexpectedly, this time she actually fooled him.

It looks like Fuyao is going to be punished!

He must have corrupted the well-behaved and quiet Long Lian while he was away these past few days.

"I'm not lying to you!"
