These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu took a deep breath.

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, the small toy transformed into a tiger more than two people tall.

It opened its bright green eyes wide, bared all its fangs, and charged straight at Wei Tu.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood from its mouth.

"boom!!"

It was as if the boy didn't even have time to draw his sword before the tiger, faster than expected, pounced on Wei Tu and swept him away.

It crashed through courtyard walls and damaged houses along the way, leaving dust and debris flying everywhere Ye Bingluan could see.

A petal was tossed down from the hands of someone on the steps.

"Roar!!"

The roaring tiger was lifted up by the boy with one hand, then raised high above his head and thrown into the distance.

But at the same time, the flowers and leaves fell into the soil.

"call out!!"

Suddenly, these flowers and leaves grew and spread at an exaggerated speed, passing through every street and shooting towards the sword-wielding youth.

In an instant, Wei Tu's hands and feet were bound, and even his waist and neck were strangled.

The thick vines lifted the boy's body high into the air.

Ye Bingluan stared in astonishment at the boy whose arms were exaggeratedly bound behind his back, whose legs seemed to be broken at bizarre angles, and whose entire body appeared distorted.

It was as if his life was so fragile, always in danger of being twisted or broken.

Ye Bingluan hesitated.

The boy, whose expression remained relatively calm, gradually raised his head as a blush began to appear on his face.

"The binding technique is quite good. I'll have Ran Xinxue try it out when we get back."

"you……"

Wei Tu seemed to only then remember that there was another person below him, so he looked over.

"Don't worry about me, just keep going."

"But……"

"No buts. I'm not dead yet. Even if I were to die, you must keep moving forward."

Ye Bingluan took a deep breath and took the step with some difficulty.

It might not be about whether she believed in herself, but rather that she believed in all of the boy's judgments.

He doesn't seem like the type to put on a brave face... Besides, this is all I can do. I can't help with anything else, so I can only keep going.

But just as Ye Bingluan continued forward, a group of people appeared in front of her.

There were ministers of the court, soldiers guarding the city, and millions of ordinary people in the city of Chaoge.

They knelt down on both sides of the road, looking at themselves, and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty! You can't go!"

"Your Majesty! Stop!"

"Your Majesty! The Mandate of Heaven cannot be defied!!"

Ye Bingluan, who hadn't stopped walking, suddenly stopped and looked at the man who had said that fate was inescapable.

That was the prime minister of the Shang Kingdom.

From the late emperor to the present, he has always been the prime minister. The man who passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi seems to be on the verge of tears.

Ye Bingluan looked at him coldly.

What is destiny?

someone said.

"What the celestial beings say is the will of Heaven!"

"What the Imperial Advisor said is the will of Heaven!"

"Storms and rain, earth dragons stirring, heavy snow and deep winter, the changing of the four seasons, even the celestial dog eclipsing the sun—all these are ordained by Heaven!!"

Ye Bingluan shook her head, then took another step.

Walk through the middle of the crowd.

They couldn't stop themselves, nor could they slow down their pace.

At this moment, the closer Ye Bingluan got to the palace, the more she felt something.

She looked at the two people fighting on the steps.

"I am the mandate of heaven."

"puff!"

The vines binding the boy broke instantly.

Under the influence of the sword energy surrounding him, it turned into countless scattered fragments.

Wei Tu landed on the ground and picked up the longsword.

Suddenly, within the city of Chaoge, mountains and rivers shook, and houses trembled.

Lonely ghosts and wandering spirits roam everywhere.

The blue-eyed tiger roared as if it wanted to tear the boy in front of it apart.

Wei Tu picked up the longsword.

"boom!!"

The floor tiles are broken.

The sword energy cleaved through the house in front of them.

The blue-eyed tiger was split in two.

On the steps, Duo tossed a paper crane into the sky.

Then the paper crane fluttered and transformed into a giant eagle.

Its sharp beak is like a razor-sharp knife, and its feathers are like sharp blades.

Wei Tu raised his long sword and swung it at the giant eagle.

"boom!!"

The sword tip shattered the giant eagle's head.

The boy turned and walked towards Ye Bingluan's retreating figure.

The giant eagle in the sky was smashed into pieces of flesh.

The feather landed on Wei Tu's shoulder, and the sword that seemed to be freely circling in the sky was no longer under Wei Tu's control.

It was as if we were in an empty place.

It can pierce through wandering ghosts, sever the heads of ferocious beasts, and shatter those strange monsters created by the two who were abducted.

The boy walked beside Ye Bingluan.

Behind him were the wails of his ministers and subjects.

"Don't go, Your Majesty!!"

"Your Majesty!! Don't go!!"

Like celestial beings from heaven, whispering among the clouds.

"Who are you."

The girl looked up.

"Ye Bingluan".

"Who are you!"

The sound was even more oppressive.

This made both of them walk slowly.

The girl, sweat dripping from her forehead, gazed ahead at the seemingly endless steps.

"The King of the Great Shang Kingdom... is chosen by Heaven, Ye Bingluan!" PS: The phrase "I am Heaven's will" sounds so familiar. I only realized it's a line from the Avengers after I finished writing it. Damn it! And here's a little-known fact: I've added eight extra chapters in six days this month, and only got 1500 votes?! That's it?!

33. The King Does Not Meet the King

The pressure almost made them unable to move.

But at this moment, it was Ye Bingluan, who was weaker, who stood up faster.

She seemed to sense something, as if some force within her body was supporting her every step.

She understood that this was the power of blood.

She was a true descendant of the Shang Dynasty, a true ruler of the Shang Dynasty, an imperial star, and a destiny ordained by heaven.

How could anyone control themselves within her city?

Even the two men, Duo and Jie, who were standing on either side of the top of the steps, did not step forward to stop them.

In fact, when Ye Bingluan raised her head, she saw that the two calm and composed national advisors had long, slender fingers hanging down from their sleeves, constantly calculating something.

Ye Bingluan looked at the two of them coldly.

"What are you calculating? Destiny is set, and I am the one destined for it."

The two interceptors did not stop Ye Bingluan. They looked at Ye Bingluan with calm and even profound eyes.
