The Warrior of Love

Xiaoyu wanted to treat Jiang Liu's burns, but she didn't know how to start.

Large-area burns are a problem, but even so serious, there is always a way to deal with it with magic.

But the more serious problem was the armor he was wearing. After an intense battle, the armor was already half destroyed, and the rest was clinging to his body. The edges seemed to have melted and solidified, sticking tightly to his skin and flesh...

In order to treat it, the armor must be torn off first, which is too exciting for Xiaoyu.

Seeing the little fox's hesitation, Jiang Liu frowned slightly, and then relaxed his brows.

Being damaged to this extent, the Demon Armor is almost losing its ability to transform. In order to restore its original form, it will instinctively seek "nutrition supply" and thus turn to absorbing vitality from the river's body.

Of course, a part of it did melt, but even if it hadn't melted, this guy probably wouldn't want to be taken down...

Then, what to do is very simple.

"There's no need to hesitate about this kind of thing... huh!"

He took a deep breath, stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the edge where the wound and the armor merged. A drop of blood oozed out quietly...

Jiang Liu's level of Armament Haki has long surpassed the realm of "Ryu Sakura", but it is still customarily called Ryu Sakura Haki.

Now, he can release his domineering aura from his body and keep it stable. It will not weaken until the connection is disconnected. In other words, it is in a form close to being materialized.

As long as you build a small "domineering triangle" on your fingertips, it will be the most flexible and sharpest scalpel.

Ignoring the pain on his skin, Jiang Liu gently ran his fingertips along the edge of the armor, and a thin but dazzling red line slowly appeared...

Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide and watched Jiang Liu slowly peel off the armor on his body, as if he was treating a dead object, and handled his body with an expressionless face.

His technique was very delicate and his movements were very fast. Soon, the part of the armor that had melted away—with some skin and flesh—

It was separated from the body, and the intact armor parts were also peeled off like the shell of seafood.

"Oh...it hurts quite a bit."

The wound was still bleeding, but Jiang Liu spoke of his feelings with a calm expression. It didn't seem like he was really feeling any pain, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I'll have to change to a more considerate set of armor sooner or later...Oh, Xiaoyu, please."

Although Jiang Liu can wait for it to heal on its own given his physical condition, it would still be more convenient to have a professional treat it.

"Well!"

As he was told, he gently placed his hand on Jiang Liu's chest. A light green light flickered, and a warm air current spread through Jiang Liu's body, dispelling the burning sensation lingering on the wound.

For a moment, Jiang Liu even moaned in comfort.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

While treating Jiang Liu's injuries, Xiao Yu said sullenly, "Didn't it hurt just now?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu looked at her suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you treat your body so roughly... It makes me uncomfortable." Xiaoyu didn't smile at all, "It's like you don't care about your own life... It makes me think of bad things."

"You're angry?"

Jiang Liu blinked, feeling a little puzzled. He really didn't know why the little girl was acting so upset.

"It's nothing. I'm used to this kind of thing. It's no big deal."

"got used to?"

The little hand on Jiang Liu's chest trembled slightly, and then began to exert force.

Xiaoyu took a deep breath and transferred a large amount of healing magic into Jiang Liu's body. The comfortable treatment process suddenly became stimulating, and Jiang Liu's expression changed slightly. But it must be said that the treatment speed also increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What's the point of fighting and killing... If it were me, I would have run away if I couldn't win. I wouldn't have been injured so badly, and I wouldn't have made others worry about me!"

"Feel sorry."

"What is there to apologize for? It's obviously not your fault... I actually understand that some battles cannot be avoided and are not something you can choose. You don't want to end up like this.

But... but even so, I can't stop being angry. Why do humans have to hurt others or be hurt by others in order to survive? I don't understand.

Besides, I don’t want to see you get hurt anymore… It’s nothing!”

Xiaoyu bit her lip, and after the treatment was completed, she turned and left the room as if she was running away.

"Uh..." Jiang Liu was silent for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

It's not that he can't understand Xiaoyu. After all, the little fox has been through a lot of stimulation recently. If it weren't for her friend Jiang Liu who could help her vent, she would have been crushed long ago. Now it's just that her emotions have accumulated too much and exploded.

But something like war... really has no logic to it.

Even though he was a pacifist, there were fights he had to fight.

"Qing Qing Zi Pei, I think about it for a long time. Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't come..."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Xiaoyu's feelings for Mr. Jiang Liu are more than just friendship. However, Mr. Jiang Liu himself doesn't seem to have any feelings about it. What a pity."

Coming back to his senses, Jiang Liu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: What's it got to do with you?

And you're trying to show off your cultural level, thinking that you're the only one who has read the Book of Songs!

"She's still a child." Jiang Liu couldn't help but muffled his voice and said, "I'm a normal person. I can't possibly have other ideas."

"But, in the era I live in, Miss Xiaoyu is old enough to get married (the Han Dynasty considered the marriageable age to be 15 years old)."

Chen Gong shook his head. "Now that I think about it, it was really too much."

After all, everyone is a lolita fan...

Seeing that the topic was about to go off track, Xiang Yu quickly coughed twice and looked at Chen Gong.

"By the way, Military Advisor, what bamboo slips are you holding? Are they military matters that I need to handle?"

"No, it's a letter of challenge."

"Ok?"

Chen Gong looked at the bewildered Xiang Yu and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile.

"Madam Yu Ji sent us a letter of challenge, asking us to fight tomorrow. What do you think, General?"

Xiang Yu: “…”

Chapter 242: It has nothing to do with me

"What do you think, military advisor?" Xiang Yu asked hesitantly.

Chen Gong was confident: "Don't worry, tomorrow on the battlefield, I only need a few words from her and she will throw down her armor and surrender."

"Oh? Sir, you have such a brilliant idea?"

"No, I just suddenly thought of saying this."

Chen Gong laughed: "It is said that Li Shiqi is such a confident person. As a counselor, I sometimes yearn for my predecessors. However, I still can't adapt to the diplomatic position."

"Li Shiqi?" Xiang Yu looked puzzled. After all, Li Shiqi should not be famous at that time, so it was normal that Xiang Yu had never heard of him.

"Let's not talk about this for now. May I ask, Young General, where is General Xiang Liang now?" Chen Gong suddenly became serious and asked in a stern tone.

Xiang Yu's expression also became serious. "My uncle is now unconscious. I took him back to Shouchun City and he is now locked up in the palace. Military Advisor, is there anything wrong? Do you have a way to make my uncle return to his original state?"

“No…” Chen Gong shook his head. “I’m sorry. Although I know a little bit about the art of alchemy, I am not proficient in this art after all. Besides, the one who cast the spell was that goddess… You must know that I am completely suppressed by her. I believe that her spell is not something I can decipher.”

"This……"

Xiang Yu frowned: "Are you saying that my uncle is beyond help?"

Even though he was extremely powerful and had even killed a nine-headed poisonous dragon by himself, he couldn't help but feel helpless when faced with a problem that couldn't be solved by brute force.

"Otherwise, the Major General actually knows someone who can solve this problem. Why would you go to me for help?" Chen Gong said calmly, "He is far away, but he is also close at hand, Major General."

Close at hand?

Xiang Yu turned around—and saw only Jiang Liu!

"Ah, could it be that Mr. Jiang Liu is not only very powerful, but also very good at the art of alchemy?"

Jiang Liu, who was tearing off the dead skin from his body, raised his head with a puzzled expression.

"What does it have to do with me? Although I also use magic, I am not a magician. It's easy for me to turn someone into an idiot, but it's difficult for me to turn an idiot back into a normal person."

After saying this, without caring about what happened next, Jiang Liu left Xiang Yu and Chen Gong behind and began to focus on dealing with the wounds on his body.

Xiaoyu's healing ability is first-rate, and because it additionally stimulated Jiang Liu's own recovery ability, even though his injuries were so serious, he still recovered quite quickly.

Burns look the scariest, but they are also the easiest to recover from. For Jiang Liu, they are just flesh wounds... although the standard is slightly different from that of ordinary people.

What needed to be slowly nursed back to health were the internal organs that were burned by the sun's fire. Even his tenacious vitality could hardly help with this part, and he had to accumulate vitality bit by bit, but this was also a matter of time.

In addition, although most of the sun fire that he swallowed in "Naraku" has dissipated, there is still a part of the fire in the core that has not been extinguished.

It is naturally very easy to expel it from the "body", just open Naraku again and release the fire.

But Jiang Liu had another bold idea: to refine these fire seeds and use their power for his own benefit.

This is not impossible. It may be difficult to absorb the sun's fire with a physical body, but what if it is not a human body?

As early as when he was fighting against the Golden Crow, Jiang Liu discovered that the mecha god he summoned, the Sun King, had a very good compatibility with the Sun's Fire.

This is not because they are all related to the "sun", the more important reason is divinity.

Strictly speaking, there is more than one divinity in Jiang Liu, but in terms of mechanical divinity, which is inherited from the Light Messenger, it is mainly divided into three divinities: earth, ocean, and sky. These three can be combined and sublimated into the divinity of "light".

It is not an independent machine, but a trinity of machines——this is the essence of the "Sun King".

If it is a physical Sun King in his prime, the power of his holy sword is even enough to cut through the continental shelf. It is an absolute threat to a country or even a border.

What Jiang Liu summoned was an empty shell created by consuming magic power, which was similar to a projection, so it was basically only at the anti-city level...

But the Sun King's phantom and the Golden Crow's Fire have a very good affinity, after all, it can protect Jiang Liu from surviving the sea of ​​fire. So, Jiang Liu thought of a possibility -

Use the machine god as a body to absorb these divine fires!

However, this is just an idea. Jiang Liu still needs to explore how to implement it, and there is no guarantee of success.

If successful, the next enemy they encounter will be an enemy mecha god that is wrapped in flames and has lethality comparable to that of the mythical beast Golden Crow!

So now Jiang Liu put all his energy into "Naraku", constantly using his mental power to test, hoping to find a way to use the sun's fire, and he has no time to pay attention to Xiang Yu's problem.

Besides, is it right for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of a couple?

But seeing how pitiful Xiang Yu is, I'd better remind him -

"The military advisor is talking about no one else but your Concubine Yu, Major General."

Jiang Liu casually said, "How about putting aside your pride and asking her for help? Since you can see through the fox girl's conspiracy and disguise, you should be able to cure Xiang Liang, right?"

Yu Ji - upon hearing this name, Xiang Yu fell silent.

This man, who was as solid and tenacious as a rock, had shown no fear when facing the nine-headed poisonous dragon before, but now he showed an indescribable expression.

"She..."

The Overlord hesitated and said, "You should still be angry with me now, right?"

"No, no, no, how could that be? You and Madam Yu Ji truly love each other. As long as you bow your head, I believe she will forgive you."

Chen Gong smiled mysteriously: "Even if it doesn't work, I can still see a very precious scene... No, I'm thinking about your future.

Women are very prone to getting stuck in a rut. Confucius once said that if you distance yourself from them, they will become resentful - I don't think this is a good thing for the young general.

Now is the time, Madam Yu Ji should not be too angry yet, go and apologize quickly! "

Xiang Yu suddenly realized, and then he began to ponder: "But... I don't know what to do."

God have pity on him, he did not have a normal growth process. When he was "discovered" by Xiang Liang, he already looked like an adult. The knowledge and thinking logic he had were all related to combat. Apart from that, he knew nothing.

Although he gradually learned some human emotions (or rather imitated them) in the process of getting along with Xiang Liang and many humans, it was not deep enough to understand the "love between men and women".

Perhaps, he even lacked an accurate judgment on the special nature of the relationship between himself and Yu Ji.

Trying to please a sulking woman?

This is just like giving high school mathematics Olympiad questions to elementary school students. For Xiang Yu, it is a challenge that is completely beyond the scope of the curriculum.

"It's ok!"

Chen Gong suddenly took charge: "As long as you have a good attitude, there will be no problem!"

"Oh, that's great."
