Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Rouge nodded in agreement, but a slight doubt lingered about the surface of the Western Sea. A large army had clearly arrived before, but now there were hardly any left. If Lin Yaoxie had killed them, there should have been a huge pile of corpses. Then, Rouge's gaze fell on the last group to leave the Western Sea, and she almost... understood.

Chapter Eighty-Five: The Wrongful End

Is the Western Sea finished? This was Rouge's first reaction, but when she landed, she felt that the Western Sea seemed to be the same as before, until Lin Yaoxie led her into the Water Palace, where those people were still bowing down to him.

"The Celestial Clan has retreated. Why don't you just kill them? What will you do if they come back? Killing the generals won't make them stop. In the end, you'll still face slaughter from the Celestial Clan. You've already achieved such a position; can't you cherish it a little?"

Lin Yaoxie paused for a moment, then, seeing Yan Zhi's expression, laughed: "Are you worried about me?"

Rouge bit her lip, remaining silent. Lin Yaoxie walked towards the side hall, where Die Yong was lying. He sat beside him, waiting for Die Yong to slowly open his eyes: "You've killed many people again? What about my two uncles? Have you killed them both?"

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said, "Yes, they are all dead. All the heavenly soldiers are dead too. You must be regretting it. Why did you never think of leaving this place for so long, and now you've fallen into my hands!" Die Yong could only sigh deeply and had nothing more to say.

Lin Yaoxie raised his head and looked at Yanzhi: "How many days was I away? And what happened after that?"

"For about half a month, you were unconscious here, and I naturally took care of you the whole time. However, after you were unconscious for only a few days, the Heavenly Clan came and wiped out many of your forces. They also wanted to control you. But on the last day, you suddenly disappeared from this place. Those people thought that I had hidden you and questioned me. I finally managed to escape and that's when I ran into you."

Rouge slowly sat down, but Lin Yaoxie never refused. Lin Yaoxie didn't speak after that, but just stood up and walked towards the water prison. Rouge followed behind, unaware of anything, but still kept following until Lin Yaoxie suddenly asked the guards, "How long ago did the Water Lord die?"

He died after being locked in this water dungeon for about three days.

The guards were fairly obedient. A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Yaoxie's eyes, then he turned back. When they reached a coral reef, Yan Zhi said, "Dragon Lord's actions just now, could it be that he wanted to torture that West Sea Lord again?"

Lin Yaoxie did not answer: "Dragon Lord, you once occupied this land of the Western Sea, and you still treat him like that. Isn't that a bit cruel? If in the end, Dragon Lord, your actions... I'm afraid they will really cause a lot of trouble."

Lin Yaoxie turned around and grabbed Rouge's chin, saying menacingly, "You'd better not concern yourself with my affairs anymore. Even if someone tries to kill me, I'll be happy. Otherwise, how can I improve my status and reputation throughout the four seas and eight wastelands?"

He slowly released Rouge's chin: "I know you're still a little worried about me, but I'm quite capable of handling some things, so you don't need to worry too much. Even if something is done wrong, I'll make it perfect and won't let him feel he's done anything wrong." With that, he left, leaving Rouge alone this time.

Lin Yaoxie entered the hall, dealt with many matters in the Western Sea, and then stayed there to read. He finished one book, and when he looked up again, it was already dusk. As he lay in bed, half asleep, he heard some noises outside.

Lin Yaoxie pretended to be asleep, letting the man in black slowly approach. He raised the dagger in his hand, intending to strike but then withdrew it. He struck again, then withdrew it again, repeating this several times. Finally, the man struck, and just as he was about to touch Lin Yaoxie's body, a barrier suddenly appeared, keeping the man in black outside. The dagger, of course, remained on Lin Yaoxie's bed the whole time.

The man in black hesitated, unsure whether to proceed. Breaking through the barrier would certainly cause a great commotion, and it would be strange if Lin Yaoxie didn't wake up. Seeing that there was no way forward, he finally decided to leave.

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie slowly opened his eyes, picked up the dagger that had fallen beside him, and saw that it was quite beautiful with its snow-white blade and jade grip, but its power was not much. He shook his head and smiled: "Heh, what a fool."

The next day, Lin Yaoxie summoned Yanzhi early in the morning. Yanzhi's heart was in turmoil after hearing the news, fearing that Lin Yaoxie already knew about what happened last night. She couldn't calm down for a while, but in the end, she followed the messenger to the main hall.

Lin Yaoxie was still getting dressed when Yan Zhi quickly offered a hand. At least in this last critical moment, it was still necessary to do some last-minute preparation, in case Lin Yaoxie didn't care about this matter this time: "'I've come to you because I have something to discuss.'"

Rouge's hand trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and asked, "What brings you here, Dragon Lord?"

Having already dressed, Lin Yaoxie instantly picked up Fuxi from the side. Yanzhi, seeing this, quickly lowered her head and stammered, "Dragon... Dragon Lord..."

Lin Yaoxie slowly approached, carrying Fuxi, and Yan Zhi was so frightened that her soul almost left her body: "Come back to the Winged Realm with me, Wu."

"Huh?" Rouge was genuinely puzzled, but since that was the case, the danger from yesterday was over, so she nodded: "Okay, okay."

So Rouge followed Lin Yaoxie back to the Winged Realm. As for why Lin Yaoxie suddenly wanted to return to the Winged Realm, he didn't understand, but he was willing to do whatever it took to avoid being exposed.

"You haven't been home for several years now. You finally did go back, but I ended up taking you to the Western Sea by some strange twist of fate. Now that I think about it, I feel a little guilty."

Rouge could only give a faint smile to indicate that she would respond, but whether she went back or not was not really important. After all, the Winged Realm was no longer the Winged Realm it used to be, and she didn't know how her eldest and second brothers were doing now.

Some of the rumors about the Winged Realm probably reached Rouge's ears, who often went out to play. She knew some of them, and the fact that Lin Yaoxie had become king in the Winged Realm was naturally the most well-known. As for Li Yuan, Rouge knew that he had disappeared, but she didn't know much else. As for Li Jing, he was dethroned and imprisoned, which was even worse than when he imprisoned Li Yuan.

Thinking of this, Rouge was actually somewhat reluctant to go back, otherwise wouldn't she still be facing the same mess? But... she had indeed been homesick for quite some time.

Chapter 86 Reunion, A Dramatic Change

Now it's not too late, and Rouge has returned to the Winged Realm. Seeing that the surroundings are finally peaceful, Lin Yaoxie felt much more refreshed. Sure enough, you only encounter countless troubles when conquering a new land, just like the Winged Realm has become peaceful and stable in recent years.

Someone walked over and recognized Lin Yaoxie at a glance: "Wing Lord, the Whale Clan and the Dragon Clan arrived long ago."

Lin Yaoxie knew that he had indeed wasted some time on Mo Yuan's matter, but it wasn't too late now. He turned around and asked, "Would you like to see your eldest and second brothers?"

Rouge nodded without hesitation and followed Lin Yaoxie. Observing the surrounding scenery, Rouge felt that it was indeed somewhat different from before; the Winged Realm was slightly stronger... As they walked towards the main hall, she could see many people standing inside from a distance.

Lin Yaoxie slowed his pace, saying as he walked, "Stand next to me later. You and your sister will have plenty of time to meet afterwards, understand?"

Rouge responded and followed Lin Yaoxie into the main hall. After a round of bowing to those around them, Lin Yaoxie sat down: "Has anything happened lately?" 143

"The Winged Realm has been at peace until a few days ago when we heard that you, Dragon Lord, went to the Western Sea. Then the Heavenly Army sent many people there. We don't know... Dragon Lord, were you injured?" The speaker was the chieftain of the Whale Clan.

Lin Yaoxie said impatiently, "You're not a member of the Winged Clan, so why are you interfering when I'm asking about Winged Realm matters?"

General Yijie stepped forward and explained the situation, which calmed Lin Yaoxie down a bit: "The West Sea is now under my command, so you don't need to worry. The heavenly soldiers who came are all my subordinates. We are currently planning to conquer the East Sea. Once the East Sea and the South Sea have surrendered, I will need someone to unite these four seas together for me. Why don't you go, Chief Whale?"

The whale chieftain was quite pleased to hear this: "Very well, thank you, Dragon Lord."

"Stop right now!" Lin Yaoxie interrupted, "I'm only entrusting this matter to you temporarily. Someone else will take over in the future, and your purpose is to manage it now and then assist him later. Do you understand?"

Although he was extremely unhappy, the whale chieftain finally nodded helplessly: "Yes, I will follow the Dragon Lord's arrangements."

Rouge merely observed from the sidelines, but her gaze remained fixed on her two older brothers. Having not seen them for so long, she never expected that her two older brothers would actually be standing together at the same time. This was truly a rare sight. Although the two of them seemed quite unwilling, it was best that they were both alright.

"Rouge?!" Rouge turned around and saw Lin Yaoxie looking puzzled. "You look a little pale. What happened?"

Rouge shook her head, then turned around and found that the thousand people had already left. Lin Yaoxie stood up: "It's good that you're alright. Go find your two brothers." He then disappeared from Rouge's sight, and Rouge quickly ran out of the hall.

Although Li Jing and Li Yuan didn't get along, they were quite good to Yan Zhi. The two of them even stood together and waited for Yan Zhi, which was a rare occasion. The three of them hugged each other. In the distance, Xuan Nu slowly passed by, and her eyes immediately fell on Yan Zhi: "Yan Zhi?"

She pondered for a moment, and then looked at the surrounding situation. It was clear that all the generals had gathered together. If it weren't for Lin Yaoxie's return, there would definitely not have been this commotion. So she quickly turned around and met Le Xu: "Goddess Xuan Nu, where are you going?" Her words were obviously laced with sarcasm.

Xuan Nu was naturally angry. She walked right past Le Xu, leaning against him as she did so: "Why should you interfere in my affairs?"

Xuan Nu strode away, but Le Xu followed behind, mocking, "You really think you're some kind of empress? The Wing Lord hasn't even mentioned marrying you, yet you've given yourself the title of empress. Little do you know, the entire Wing Realm is laughing at you. You really think too highly of yourself, huh?"

Since things had come to this point, Xuan Nu naturally couldn't hold back any longer. She simply turned around, rolled up her sleeves, and started fighting. Le Xu was not to be outdone and started fighting back just as fiercely.

The two maids were not idle either, and they all rolled up their sleeves. However, Xuan Nu had been in the Winged Realm for a long time, and she had far more maids behind her than Le Xu. Le Xu could not let this go to waste, so he immediately shouted, "Help! Help!"

The three siblings, who were catching up, came over without hesitation after hearing the shout. After all, Le Xu had been here for a few days and could recognize the voice. When Li Jing and Li Yuan made their move, they only remembered Le Xu and didn't pay attention to Xuan Nu. They punched Xuan Nu hard before recognizing her and quickly stopped.

"Xuan Nu?" Xuan Nu's face was already shattered after being hit once each by Li Jing and Li Yuan, not to mention that Rouge was still there. Rouge had been away for several years, and this was her first time back, only to encounter such a thing. She immediately felt ashamed and turned to run away crying, with her accompanying maid quickly chasing after her.

Rouge helped Lexu up. The two, naturally unfamiliar with each other, hadn't even exchanged names when Li Yuan pulled Rouge away from Yijie, while Li Jing said a few words of farewell to Lexu before following. Rouge, however, was puzzled: "Who is that girl? And that Xuan Nu, she… what's going on? Second Brother… you…"

Li Jing turned his head away and remained silent. Li Yuan pulled him down to sit: "It's been a while, so don't ask anymore. Anyway, that Xuan woman isn't good either, so you shouldn't have any contact with her. But... has the Dragon Lord done anything to you?"

Rouge simply shook her head: "I've only known him for a few days, how could he possibly do anything to me?"

Li Yuan felt helpless, but if she explained the details, Yan Zhi probably wouldn't understand, so she didn't say anything. "Fine, anyway, if he tries to do anything to you, Li Jing and I will rather die than let him touch you." As she spoke, Li Yuan frowned, clearly her words had provoked Shi Wan, and thus implicated herself.

Rouge quickly helped him up: "What happened to you? Are you hurt? Come on, let me see?"

The hand that was about to be lifted was grasped by Lin Yaoxie, and Rouge stopped on her own: "Could it be... that he did something to you?"

Rouge was quite clever, but both Li Jing and Li Yuan simply shook their heads: "Don't worry, it's nothing." Li Jing slowly approached: "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

Chapter 87 Herbal Medicine Incompetence

If it weren't for Rouge, Li Jing and Li Yuan probably wouldn't be able to have a proper conversation here. And after Rouge had rested, Li Jing and Li Yuan had indeed become mortal enemies, walking out together. But Li Jing spoke first: "Are you really not going to think this through? Do we really want to spend our whole lives working for a villain?"

Li Yuan stopped and said in a deep voice, "Heh, didn't you already get the Green Ginseng Grass? Why do you still need to come to me with these things? I made him take away your position as Wing Lord, and I treated you the same way, making you wish you were dead. As long as you give this Green Ginseng Grass to the Dragon Lord, he will naturally give you what you want. Perhaps, not long after, you will still be the Wing Lord, a high and mighty Wing Lord."

After speaking, Li Yuan didn't linger, turned around and disappeared from Li Jing's sight. At that moment, Li Jing couldn't help but kneel on the ground, clutching his chest and collapsing. He had said this countless times, because he understood that Li Yuan was also a pitiful person, after all, he was still his brother, so he had to take him with him.

Now, the combined power of them can control the entire Winged Realm. If they can break free from Lin Yaoxie's grasp, they only need to work together and find an opportunity. However, every time Li Jing thinks about this matter, he can't help but feel heartbroken. Because of this, he even faints during every conversation with Li Yuan.

But Li Jing was truly unwilling to accept this! In a daze, Xuan Nu turned and entered the courtyard, her gaze falling on Li Jing, her eyes filled with anger: "Heh, you've finally met your match."

She slowly approached, and the person behind her was somewhat timid and dared not get closer, but Xuan Nu dared to say: "Why didn't you just leave back then? So what if you're Lin Yaoxie's subordinate now? He doesn't lack any dogs around him. You only control a small part of the Winged Realm's military force now, and you seem to think you're so great? Hmm?"

Xuan Nu kicked Li Jing: "How did I treat you back then? How much did I sacrifice for your position as Wing Lord? I endured your father's beatings just so I could go to Kunlun Ruins and snatch that array diagram for you? And what about you? I've sacrificed so much for you, and you're not even willing to sacrifice a little for me? I'm taking you away, and you still refuse? Now, you even want to kill me?"

As Xuan Nu spoke, she cried, and those behind her couldn't help but listen. This was a rare sight indeed; they rarely heard such a thing.

Li Jing hunched over, clutching his chest, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I'll only ask you one question today: why is Ye Hua willing to work for you?"

Xuan Nu remained silent, which thoroughly enraged Li Jing. He instantly sprang to his feet and punched Xuan Nu directly in the face. Xuan Nu was knocked to the ground, then opened her eyes with resentment: "If you have the guts, then kill me today."

Li Jing, without hesitation, threw two more punches: "How did you get Ye Hua to listen to you? How could I not know? All these years, how exactly have you treated me?"

I know perfectly well what you've done behind my back, and I've just pretended not to know. You, however, keep pushing my boundaries, including now.

The people around could no longer bear to watch and quickly tried to stop Li Jing, but Li Jing's power was now beyond what a few people could stop. They were all defeated by Li Jing, who was now enraged and no one could stop him. Xuan Nu was beaten to the point of near unconsciousness before Lin Yaoxie arrived.

While he was still discussing matters concerning the Western Sea, Xuan Nu's attendant came over to tell him that Xuan Nu had been beaten by Li Jing. For some reason, Lin Yaoxie was slightly excited when he received this news. He had to admit that he really admired Li Jing.

So Lin Yaoxie traveled there very slowly, then came out and called out, "Stop, that's enough."

Lin Yaoxie slowly approached, but did not stop. Instead, he walked all the way to the side hall and said, "Li Jing, come here."

Li Jing glanced at Xuan Nu, somewhat unwilling, then followed Lin Yaoxie and disappeared from the hall. Xuan Nu was slowly helped up, watching Li Jing's retreating figure, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, hoping that Li Jing wouldn't have a good outcome this time. Then, Xuan Nu was helped away, and Li Jing, after entering the side hall, was clearly unhappy: "Dragon Lord, you probably didn't hear what she said just now, she...!"

0oo one requests flowers

"Alright!" Lin Yaoxie sat down, then let Li Jing sit down slowly as well: "It's been tens of thousands of years, don't you understand the temperament of that Xuan Nu? Why do you need to care about her? No matter what, that kind of woman is always the same. The more you flatter her, the more she will act the same way! You have to remember, you are Li Jing now, and you can be considered my confidant. You can't keep getting entangled with a woman forever."

Lin Yaoxie asked, "You should have already obtained the ginseng grass, right? And there are other things as well."

Since Lin Yaoxie hadn't directly asked him to downplay the responsibility for this matter, Li Jing was already very grateful and nodded, "Yes, I've already received it."

Then he slowly took out the green ginseng grass from his body. A purple ball was hanging in the middle of the green grass. The ball was still glowing with a dark light, and dark green was floating around it. The herb looked ominous.

Lin Yaoxie took the ginseng grass, and Li Jing took out all the other items as well. Lin Yaoxie, however, held the ginseng grass tightly in his hand without any contact with it. Li Jing's heart couldn't help but clench: "Dragon Lord, it's best to avoid touching or looking directly at this herb, lest... you be controlled by it."

Lin Yaoxie glanced at it, then stood up and turned to leave: "This lord is not so easily controlled. Let's leave it at that. This lord will be in seclusion for a few days. I'll leave these days in your care, He Liyuan." After saying that, he left and headed straight for the Great Purple Bright Palace: "No one is allowed to enter until this lord comes out."

"Yes." Lin Yaoxie walked in, then put the materials aside and began to slowly gather things up. He then prepared herbs to start a fire and set up the alchemy furnace. A small fire had already risen.

Lin Yaoxie reached out and touched the wall of the alchemy furnace, feeling the temperature slowly rise until it was comfortable for his hand. Only then did he slowly pick up the herbs on the table and put them in. As for the ginseng, it was used to help the fire, injecting much of its nourishing power into the flames.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Tired of Playing

Xuan Nu was naturally very unhappy. She stepped out of the water and grabbed Lin Yaoxie: "Could it be that the Dragon Lord believed what Li Jing said? Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu... Li Jing was, after all, Xuan Nu's husband, so... so it's understandable that Xuan Nu wanted to send Li Jing away on that day, isn't it?"

Actually... I just can't let him go, which is why I wanted Lord Ye Hua to take "One Four Three" away with Li Jing. If, if the Dragon Lord continues to blame Xuan Nu for this matter, then please punish Xuan Nu, Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu... will absolutely not have the slightest complaint."

Lin Yaoxie simply smiled after hearing this: "Xuan Nu, you still don't understand."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu's heart tightened, and she immediately knelt down, continuing to plead with Lin Yaoxie, saying, "Dragon Lord, Xuan Nu doesn't ask for your forgiveness, she only hopes that she can see you every day from now on. As for anything else, Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu won't ask for anything more. If you want to punish me, I will accept it no matter what."

Lin Yaoxie simply squatted down slowly, then said with a smile, "Xuan Nu, you really don't understand. This isn't about whether you're wrong or not, nor is it about whether I forgive you or not. All of this is simply because I've long been tired of playing with you..."

This was something Xuan Nu hadn't expected, so she was immediately very distressed. She really hadn't expected that Lin Yaoxie could actually say such a thing. After Xuan Nu slowly came to her senses, she watched in utter despair as Lin Yaoxie slowly disappeared from her sight.

Xuan Nu was naturally very unhappy. She stepped out of the water and grabbed Lin Yaoxie: "Could it be that the Dragon Lord believed what Li Jing said? Xuan Nu... Xuan Nu...
