Chapter 1168: Exchanging Military Merits

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Fan Xing, cross-legged and focus your mind.”

Zhai Yue commanded Fan Xing from the side. However, he did not expect that although Fan Xing did as he said, it did not alleviate the pain in the slightest. More and more golden lights turned into sharp swords and shot toward Fan Xing.

Half of the white wide-sleeved dress seemed to have been scorched by something. When the golden light hit, it was burnt black. As expected, Fan Xing’s half-demon body was going to be refined as soon as she entered the Yin Tai Tower. However, her refinement was different from his. She was completely destroyed, while he was reborn from the flames.

Fortunately, the strong light above his head became thicker and bigger. The illusory white Dragon turned from its original shadow into a real body. Finally, a golden light rushed into his Baihui acupoint from the top of his head, and an intense pain hit him. Each of his meridians seemed to have been opened, making him sweat profusely.

“Roar!”

With a Dragon’s roar, the White Dragon entered his body. He had finished refining all the insects and birds outside the Yin Tai Tower. All of them were frightened to death by the Dragon’s roar.

“What’s going on? What’s that sound? What was that again?”

“Your Majesty, it seems to be the Yin Tai Tower. It’s the sound inside the Yin Tai Tower.”

Zhai Jin looked at the Yin Tai Tower in horror. Could that woman really be a demon? What was Zhai Yue going to do? No wonder he did not come out for such a long time. Was Zhai Yue killed by that woman?

Of course, they did not know that there was nothing wrong with Zhai Yue in the Yin Tai Tower. He had even obtained an opportunity. The one who was in pain was Fan Xing. He rushed over and hugged Fan Xing in his arms. However, the golden lights did not have any intention of fading away. Even though they were blocked, they still hit Fan Xing.

No demonic techniques could be used here. Even if Zhai Yue tried to block them, he could not. She could only endure the punishment.

“Zhai Yue, don’t! Dodge!”

Fan Xing felt it herself. Only then did she know how painful and unbearable the lightning strikes were.

“I’ll take you out.”

Fan Xing watched the beads of sweat on Zhai Yue’s forehead fall continuously. The attacks on her were all on his back, and her tears fell one after another. She had never thought that there would be someone in this world who would protect her like this.

“No, leave quickly. Leave me alone.”

“Shut up. Do you still want revenge? Do you still want to kill them with your own hands? I’ll bring you out, and you’ll kill them all with your own hands. Be good, close your eyes. I’m here. Don’t be afraid.”

Zhai Yue picked her up and slowly stood up from the ground. Only after experiencing all of this did he realize that even he might not be able to withstand the torture. The scorching heat, the lightning strikes, the knife stabs — there was no pause in the pain at all… One strike after another hit his back.

Fan Xing did not open or close her eyes. She could only watch as he gritted his teeth and slowly walked out.

If he could still feel that he had a great fortune just now, and that the Yin Tai Tower was his great opportunity, then now he finally felt the power of the Yin Tai Tower.

No matter how powerful you were, you could not use all of your spells here. You could only take it head-on. Even he felt that it was difficult.

As he was about to reach the door, an even more powerful lightning strike struck him. This time, even Zhai Yue was unable to withstand it. Puchi– He spat out a mouthful of blood. Finally, another color was added to Fan Xing’s white clothes.

“Zhai Yue.”

“Be good, it’ll be done soon. I’m fine. Close your eyes. Remember, you must be obedient in a while. You can’t be so reckless anymore, understand?”

“I’m obedient. I’ll be obedient. I won’t speak anymore. When we get out, I won’t say anything else.”

“Mm, Fan Xing, be good. Master is pleased with you.”

Fan Xing had never felt so shocked by what he said at that moment. Blood was still dripping from the corner of his lips. However, at that moment, he had truly moved her heart like thunder and made her feel inexplicably at ease.

She nestled her head in his arms and felt the speed of his heartbeat. One mouthful, two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls of blood were spat out, and they finally walked out of the Yin Tai Tower.

“Look, the Prince is out, the Prince is out.”

As soon as they stepped out of the Yin Tai Tower, Ramadan immediately used an illusion. At that moment, in the eyes of outsiders, he and Fan Xing were standing side by side. Fan Xing did not have a single wound on her body, and they looked extremely comfortable.

“Is something wrong with my son?”

“I am fine. Thank you for your concern, Father. Father, Fan Xing is fine too. She is not a demon.”

Zhai Jin naturally saw Fan Xing standing at the side. She lowered her head, and her expression was a little wooden. However, she no longer looked as arrogant as before. Zhai Jin was a little confused by her appearance.

“Father, although Fan Xing and I have nothing to do in the Yin Tai Tower, this Yin Tai Tower is not so easy to enter. Even humans have to be punished. Father, I know that Fan Xing did not mean to offend you just now. I only ask for your forgiveness. Fan Xing grew up in Jun Feng Mountain and is not familiar with human etiquette. I am willing to exchange military merits for Fan Xing’s safety.”

“What?”

“Oh my god, does the Royal Highness want a beauty instead of a kingdom?”

“Yes, it’s such a pity that he doesn’t want military merits.”

The officials below began to whisper to each other, and the women were all envious.

Zhai Jin knew that his son had already been conferred the title of Royal Highness. In addition to the military merits, there was nothing to commend other than the position of Emperor. One had to know that his body was still in good health. It was definitely not a problem for him to live for another ten to eight years.

However, if his son was so powerful and so young, he was used to being a loner and an emperor. How could he allow such a strong person to exist, let alone his own son?

Although he had indeed thought of passing the throne to Zhai Yue in the past, it seemed that Zhai Yue was not more concerned about the throne at the moment. That was right. To him, the throne was really not that rare. Moreover, if the emperor knew the Dao Circle Technique, the Imperial Preceptor would not allow it.

Now that Zhai Yue had taken the initiative to ask for no military merits, it meant that he had thought of this. If that was the case, it would be a matter of pushing the boat with the current.

“It was indeed rude and reckless of Fan Xing. She openly disobeyed the edict and the law in secret. She should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. Since my son is pleading on behalf of her, this matter should be settled. However, this military merit was made by my son. Father will not be so unreasonable.”

“Zhen has bestowed Prince Yi Zhao with ten thousand taels of gold. My son has also worked hard for many years. Zhen will allow you to have a three-month holiday. In three months, you will preside over Great Wei’s peace offering.”

“Thank you, Father.”

Was this considered being reasonable?

He had spent five years in exchange for the unification of the Three Kingdoms. In the end, he ended up in this state, with only ten thousand taels of gold?

When all the officials saw the Emperor bestowing such a gift, they began to think carefully in their hearts. It was clear that Prince Yi Zhao would not be allowed to inherit the throne. It seemed that the throne would be chosen by the other princes.

This Prince Yi Zhao actually did not even want the throne for a woman. He was really stupid.
