Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Uh...”

Jiang Yi suddenly became impolite, which Su Heng found hard to accept for a moment. Today, he had put his pride down and even bowed to Jiang Yi with his status. In his opinion, he had given Jiang Yi a lot of face, but he didn’t expect Jiang Yi to chase him out after just a few exchanges of words. He was even threatened?

His expression changed, and he was instinctively infuriated. His eyes flickered as he quickly calmed down. Jiang Yi was someone that he couldn’t afford to provoke now; otherwise, if Jiang Yi went to support Su Yu, the entire situation would change.

He could only let out two wry laughs and bid his farewell embarrassedly. When he went out the door, he even let a light groan, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Fool!

Jiang Yi shook his head. No wonder the old General Lu didn’t think highly of him. If such a mediocre person became king, the whole Great Xia Kingdom would perish before the enemy had to attack, right?

“Lord Jiang! Lord Jiang!”

Just as Jiang Yi was preparing to continue his cultivation, the chief eunuch suddenly walked in and smiled with a flattering expression as he spoke, “My Lord. Duke Su Yu is requesting an audience; would you be able to see him for a moment?”

Here we go again...

Jiang Yi was now even more frustrated as he immediately refused, “No, except for old General Lu, I will not see anyone!”

“This!”

The old eunuch seemed to be on good terms with Su Yu as he tried to convince him again. “My Lord. Duke Su Yu is very sincere, and he has prepared great gifts just to seek an audience with you! If my Lord refuses to see him, then this old eunuch will find it hard to give an explanation...”

“Get lost!”

Jiang Yu was infuriated as his killing aura poured out while he glared at the old eunuch and roared, “You get out, too. What kind of people do you think you are?”

“Ah?”

The old eunuch was frightened while Jiang Xiaonu and the little fox were also alarmed in the side chamber. They rushed out and were at a loss when they saw Jiang Yi in such anger.

“Xiaonu, it’s fine! Go play. Young Master will go cultivate.”

When Jiang Yi saw how frightened Jiang Xiaonu and the little fox were, his expression quickly calmed down. He shook his hand and went into Su Ruoxue’s room. Jiang Xiaonu stuck out her tongue before she carried the little fox back into the hall while the old eunuch walked with an awkward expression.

Bang!

The breaking sound of a slab of stone quickly echoed from outside. It was obvious that Su Yu was infuriated after hearing the report from the old eunuch. He immediately smashed a stone slab with a kick. Jiang Yi was even more speechless now. The Great Xia Kingdom had no more outstanding individuals and was actually left with these two fools to inherit the throne.

After Jiang Yi flipped out, no one came to disturb him anymore. Jiang Yi was able to stay inside the Drifting Snow Palace with ease and didn’t have to consider anything else. He just had to concentrate on his cultivation as he awaited for Su Ruoxue to wake up.

As time flowed bit by bit, Su Ruoxue still didn’t regain consciousness; but the situation in Summer Rain City was getting worse. Had it not been for General Lu restraining the military, Su Heng and Su Yu would already have started a war.

The arguments continued in the royal court. Both sides were even in power, and no one was able to gain the upper hand. Since General Lu and his group didn’t declare their side, the situation in Summer Rain City was in a stalemate.

Unless one of the sides obtained oppressive support or was able to assassinate the other, this situation where the kingdom was without a ruler would continue to persist.

On the seventh day after the huge battle, Su Ruoxue finally regained consciousness!

It was a pity that she was still too weak and only opened her eyes for a moment. Before Jiang Yi could go over, she fainted again. Jiang Yi didn’t cultivate anymore and just sat by Su Ruoxue’s side, holding her hand and looking at her absolutely beautiful face. He would let out a silly giggle from time to time as though he was a youth that was in the initial stage of a relationship. If an outsider was to see his face, no one would believe that he was Jiang Yi, who resisted against an army of one million soldiers by himself.

During the evening time, Su Ruoxue awakened again. Her long eyelashes shook a little before she opened her eyes to stare at Jiang Yi for a long time. She wriggled her lips to let out a frail voice. “Jiang Yi, is that you? Is Ruoxue having a dream?”

Jiang Yi’s hand, which was grasping on Su Ruoxue’s hand, increased some strength as he pursed his lips and spoke softly, “Ruoxue, you are not dreaming. You are still alive, so am I. We will live for a long time. You have just awakened and shouldn’t talk so much. Rest for a moment longer.”

Su Ruoxue smiled and closed her eyes to rest for one hour, recovering some of her energy. She didn’t say much and just held onto Jiang Yi’s hand tightly as she said in a gentle voice, “Jiang Yi, how nice would it be if I can hold your hand like this forever.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi revealed a splendid smile as his spirits soared to the sky as he spoke resolutely, “In order to hold your hand like this forever, I will make myself even stronger. So powerful that no one will be able to harm you—not even the Emperor of the Netherworld can split us apart.”

Su Ruoxue smiled. Under the bright illumination of the candlelight, she looked like a blooming peony—peerlessly gorgeous and absolutely beautiful. Jiang Yi was intoxicated; he felt as though this was the moment where he was filled with the most happiness. His life was unprecedentedly enriched and settled.

Shh-shh-shh!

The charming and gentle atmosphere in the room was suddenly interrupted by the footsteps. Jiang Yi knitted his brows while his eyes flashed with killing intent. Apart from the eunuchs and palace maids that served this palace, he had forbidden anyone from entering. How actually could someone dare to come and disturb him during this period of time?

“Lord Jiang! Something happened...”

It was Old General Lu, who was shouting out urgently, before he even entered. “My Lord, the two dukes have started a battle with soldiers. There are at least 30,000 soldiers who are involved, and there are already more than 2000 casualties. Many of the commoners are injured by accident as well...”

Once Jiang Yi heard the report, his expression immediately changed. He wasn’t worried about the casualties in the Great Xia Kingdom; he was worried about Su Ruoxue.

Su Ruoxue had just awakened, and her body was still extremely weak. He didn’t even dare to let her know about Su Diwang’s death. He wanted her to rest for a few more days before breaking the news to her. He didn’t think that such an incident would happen at such a coincidental timing.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Get lost!”

He immediately turned his head around and glared at Old General Lu with blade-like eyes before he quickly turned back to look at Su Ruoxue nervously.

“Royal Uncle Su Heng? Royal Uncle Su Yu?”

Su Ruoxue’s shapely brows gathered while she had this trace of confusion in her eyes. She quickly understood something and asked in a soft voice, “Jiang Yi, what happened? Why are they fighting with soldiers?”

Jiang Yi had the intention to kill but could only force out a smile and reply, “Nothing, nothing! Just a small matter which I will attend to shortly. Ruoxue, you have just regained consciousness. Have a good rest and don’t bother about such things, understand?”

Old General Lu also reacted timely. Even though it was an extreme emergency, he had revealed an awful smile worse than a crying expression and said apologetically, “Yes, that’s right, that’s right. Princess Ruoxue, please have a rest first. This is just a small matter; this general will go settle it now.”

“Hold it right there!”

Su Ruoxue’s expression turned gloomy as she struggled to sit up. Jiang Yi was frightened as he quickly assisted her while Su Ruoxue spoke in a solemn tone, “(Cough! Cough...) General Lu, explain everything clearly. Why are my two royal uncles in a battle? What about King Father? Why isn’t he stepping in?”

When Jiang Yi saw blood trickling from Su Ruoxue’s mouth after she coughed, he quickly and frantically replied, “Ruoxue, don’t get angry. Lie down first—lie down first, and don’t move around. Your injuries have yet to recover!”

Su Ruoxue cast her eyes over at Jiang Yi and spoke in an abnormally firm manner, “Jiang Yi, tell me everything that happened during this period of time. I want to know!”

“Okay, okay, I will tell you! You have to lie down first!” Jiang Yi was at wit’s end. This Su Ruoxue was stubborn as an ox. He had no choice but to swiftly explain everything that happened when Su Ruoxue was still unconscious. Of course, he didn’t mention that Su Diwang might have been murdered and just said that he died from an illness.

“King Father...”

After Su Ruoxue finished listening to the explanation, she closed her eyes while two streams of tears flowed down. She had this violent movement from her chest and only opened her eyes after a long period of silence. She then asked, “Jiang Yi, can you do me a favor?”

Jiang Yi quickly responded, “Ruoxue, tell me. As long as you don’t get angry and will recuperate properly. I will agree to anything.”

“Alright!”

Su Ruoxue nodded while her eyes flashed with a severe expression as she spoke gravely, “Go seize both my royal uncles for me. If they resist, then you can kill them all!”
