Chapter 178 Put down the Rebellion
Chapter 178 Put down the Rebellion
With the help of the miracle doctor, You Qingcheng recovered quickly. Half a month later she was as healthy as ever. As for her unborn child, You Qingcheng said nothing. But in the dead of night, she often held the corner of the quilt alone and cried. Lin Feiyang watched her silently until she fell asleep. Then he opened the door quietly. In the firelight, tears rolled down You Qingcheng’s slightly upturned eyelashes. Damp and cold corroded the winter night. Lin Feiyang tucked her in.
“Thank you...” You Qingcheng choked up under the covers. Without Lin Feiyang, she would be dead. Who knew the resentment in her heart? The women in the palace were so wicked that they would not let go of the unformed baby. You Qingcheng gritted her lips, determined to get her revenge.
“If you want to cry, just cry.” Lin Feiyang didn’t want You Qingcheng to be sad. When he saw her crying, Lin Feiyang wished You Qingcheng would be happy.
“Have you ever seen this?” Lin Feiyang flicked a crystal Ice Lotus with his spiritual finger. This was the unique flower from the North Desert, only people with predestined relationships could see it. It grew in the spring and took 10,000 years to grow into a lotus. It was the love flower of people in the North Desert. If a man had a girl he was in love with, he would give her an Ice Lotus as a token of his love. the Ice Lotus was white and spotless, which symbolized the purest love.
“It’s so beautiful.” You Qingcheng touched the petals gently. The flower petal had the glowing water drops, sending out the faint fragrance in the candlelight.
“Here you are.” The Ice Lotus fell on You Qingcheng’s neck with the fragrance. She touched the petals with her small hands. Such a beautiful flower was rare in the world. Lin Feiyang felt happy. If You Qingcheng knew the meaning of the Ice Lotus, how would she react?
“I’ll take you a place.” Lin Feiyang took You Qingcheng up into the air. You Qingcheng screamed with fear. This was the legendary illusion. The wind was blowing in their ears, and a sea of rolling clouds was running under their feet.
“Send me back to the palace.” Knowing her mind, Lin Feiyang scattered his Spiritual Power. When they came down from the clouds, You Qingcheng saw something different. Under the setting sun, cormorants were shuttling across the Desert Lake. The old fisherman raised his oar and the boat slowly went away. With a call, cormorants dove into the water. The old man smoked a cigarette leisurely. When the water began to splash, the old man carried a junket, and cormorants came out of the water, flew into the fishing boat, and spat out the big fish. Some bold cormorants tried to devour the fish, but when the old man made a noise and waved his oar, the cormorants were so scared that they spat out the fish.
“Cormorants are so cunning.” You Qingcheng lamented that cormorants suffered in order to have fish to eat.
“It’s their life. That’s what they should be like.”
“Yeah! No man can control his fate, let alone a small bird.” You Qingcheng thought about herself. What would have happened to her if she had not been the queen? She would probably marry an ordinary man and have children. Unfortunately, she couldn’t go back. You Qingcheng stared blankly at the lake.
“What are you thinking?” Lin Feiyang just wanted her to cheer up.
“Fish are happy and carefree.”
“You are not a fish. How do you know fish are happy? Maybe they want the blue sky more.” The cormorants fled in fear of the sand rising up. The old man shouted, and the hovering birds rested on the side of the boat. The old man rowed the boat towards the shore. Lin Feiyang gave him some money and rented the boat. Then he grabbed You Qingcheng’s little hand and jumped into the boat.
“To shallow water...” The old man said. Lin Feiyang replied and rocked the boat all the way. You Qingcheng lifted the water with her hands, and the cold froze her hands red.
“How can you not take care of your body?” Lin Feiyang wrapped her in a thick cotton gown. You Qingcheng leaned against the side of the boat, enjoying the peace and quiet with her eyes closed. The setting sun dyed You Qingcheng’s little face, making her look more beautiful. Lin Feiyang sat on the bow and watched the scene.
“We met by chance... You’ve been so good to me.” You Qingcheng’s voice was hoarse, probably because she was recovering from a serious illness. You Qingcheng frowned, out of place. Lin Feiyang didn’t know what to say. He wanted to help her, and did not want her to cry.
“Do you want to see the Ice Lotus?” The Desert Lake was not a lake, but a confluence of springs. You Qingcheng wanted to see the Ice Lotus at the bottom of the lake. How did such a beautiful flower come into being?
“Yes.”
“Then you must grant me one request.”
“What is it?” You Qingcheng wanted to see the unique flower, but Lin Feiyang kept him in suspense.
“Throw away the past and start anew. Live for yourself.” The palace was a place of great cruelty. You Qingcheng didn’t know how to plot. Luckily she met Lin Feiyang this time, but what about the next time? Lin Feiyang didn’t dare to think about this question.
“I must not disappoint those who wish me dead.” The seemingly weak You Qingcheng had the virility of a woman. Lin Feiyang’s attempts to dissuade her failed. He resolved to accompany her back to the palace.
Lin Feiyang flicked his spiritual finger. The water kept coming towards the shore. The waves lifted the boat and You Qingcheng clung to the side. The fish at the bottom of the lake ran away in fright. The Spirit Power split the lake in two. Under the setting sun, the Ice Lotus was dyed red. Lin Feiyang picked up You Qingcheng and flew to the bottom of the lake. You Qingcheng was thrilled.
“This is truly beautiful.” You Qingcheng stroked the petals. The touch made the Ice Lotus shy and it closed. This crystal-like flower had life actually. You Qingcheng flitted through the flowers with light steps, sweeping away the nearest worries.
“People in the North Desert has very few people who know the technique, so it is not easy to see such beautiful scenery. It is only available in the first month of the lunar year.”
Then they went out from the bottom of the lake. You Qingcheng couldn’t bear to hurt the Ice Lotus. Soon, the Spiritual Power dissipated and the lake became calm. The boat tossed by the waves was on the sand dune. Lin Feiyang lifted the boat with his big hand. There was a loud noise and the boat fell into the lake. Lin Feiyang steered the boat towards the Mo City.
“This is not the capital?” That was when You Qingcheng realized she wasn’t in the capital. Lin Feiyang laughed and thought she was kind of silly and cute. Clearly the Ice Lotus was growing in the North Desert, and she only now remembered. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
“The North Desert’s kumiss is very unique.” Lin Feiyang held her little hand tight. You Qingcheng dumped it several times, but he held it tighter. You Qingcheng smiled awkwardly.
“If outsiders are not welcome here, she will suffer a terrible fate.”
“What will happen?” You Qingcheng was simple. The barbarians did not like to be disturbed by the Han people, so they often drove them out of their area.
“They will eat you.” Lin Feiyang’s voice was deep, but it gave You Qingcheng the creeps. You Qingcheng’s heart trembled and she clutched his big hand. The man’s mouth turned up as he wished for something that really ate people.
The sound of hooves approaching from a distance, yellow sand was raised. The shops were ravaged by horses. The ground was strewn with falling fruit and broken china. A great number of soldiers galloped towards the Mo palace. Lin Feiyang shouted darkly and flew off with You Qingcheng to the palace, hoping that it was not too late. Someone wanted to usurp the throne, and Lin Feiyang was worried about his father. When they arrived at the gate, the Mo palace was surrounded by cavalry. Lin Feiyang entered the side door, You Qingcheng right behind him. An oil lamp hung on the wall. Lin Feiyang rose into the air, kicked at the mechanism, and the stone wall opened with a crash.
“This is the backyard of the Mo Palace.” They came out of a dry well. You Qingcheng was out of breath. Lin Feiyang could not bear to see her suffer, but his father’s safety was more important at this time. He picked up You Qingcheng and ran to the main hall.
“Put me down.” You Qingcheng’s face glowed with anger.
“Master, you are back at last.” The supervisor was relieved a lot to see Lin Feiyang.
“Where’s the city governor?”
Lin Feiyang was distraught.
“On the tower.”
No sooner had he finished it than Lin Feiyang was gone. Lin Feiyang rushed along, the arrows flying everywhere from a distance.
“Feiyang, wait for me.” You Qingcheng came at a gallop.
“The palace is safe. You’ll kill yourself here.” Lin Feiyang picked You Qingcheng up on the city wall. You Qingcheng said nothing.
“Feiyang.” Lin Feiyang’s father, holding a machete, was excited to see his son.
“Make sure you’re bundled up.” Lin Feiyang neatly removed his armor. This spiritual armor was impervious to blades and spears. It could protect You Qingcheng. You Qingcheng put on the armor, which still had the man’s warmth and warmed her.
“The leader of the rebels...” A soldier rushed up the tower in panic. Lin Feiyang was suspended in midair and gave a punch with the gathering Spiritual Power. To catch bandits first catch the ringleader. Lin Feiyang spread his divine consciousness, looking for the rebel leader.
The inrush of Spiritual Power came restlessly. Lin Feiyang stretched out and took the spiritual saber. As the Spiritual Power filled him, Lin Feiyang flew away.
The rebel leader waved his sleeve, and tens of thousands of soldiers stormed the tower. Lin Feiyang created a curtain of fire to keep the rebel soldiers away. Officers and soldiers of the North Desert lined up to attack the rebels. The screams of the slain soldiers rang in his ears, and the soldiers fell in rows behind him. Screams echoed in the night sky.
Lin Feiyang rode away by the wind. His Spiritual Power extended, and charged at the rebels. The leader of the rebellion came over with a flaming knife, trying to cut through the incoming Spiritual Power, but his knife was melted by the Spiritual Power. The rebel leader sprang to his feet and transformed himself into a monster with a human face and an eagle body. Lin Feiyang did not expect monsters in the Desert City. The monster’s claws were sharp in his red feathers. The Fairy-binding Rope was pushing the rebels. Lin Feiyang’s father gave an order. The soldiers shot at the rebels below the wall and a large group of them fell. With the spiritual armor, You Qingcheng was not afraid of attacks. The rebel leader gathered the rebels, bearing the weapons of the siege. He gave the order, and the rebels rushed towards the palace gate. Lin Feiyang used his Spiritual Power to wipe out the enemy. The rebel leader jumped the high wall. Lin Feiyang hit him with his hand. Lin Feiyang’s father was still powerful. He pulled back the iron bow and the Mo army followed charging at the enemy. The two armies confronted each other. The Mo army was even more imposing. The arrows swept through the rebels. Lin Feiyang fought hard, and the flames flared as he passed, for the feather was stained with oil. The rebels were frightened into flight. Lin Feiyang gathered his Spiritual Power into his hands and flew to the rebel leader. The rebel leader had no time to duck and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He didn’t expect that the man before him was so powerful.
Noticing that the rebel leader was wounded, Lin Feiyang’s father drew the bow and the arrow flew out. The rebel leader shook the arrow with his sleeve. Lin Feiyang launched another attack. In the face of the powerful attacks, the rebel leader was powerless. Lin Feiyang flew to the city wall. The rebel leader mustered his Spiritual Power and shot Lin Feiyang again. Lin Feiyang’s father noticed his movements and stopped the attack. The man was so ambitious that he tried to usurp the throne.
The rebel leader ducked the attack and flew back. Lin Feiyang swooped down and the rebel leader came up to meet him. Their spiritual sabers crushed, and produced sparks. Lin Feiyang gave another blow. The rebels defended their leader. If the rebel leader was not killed today, he would be the enemy of the North Desert. Lin Feiyang’s father rushed down the tower. The Mo army surged up against the rebels, closing in on them with arrows. The rebel leader gave the order and the crowd rushed forward. Lin Feiyang reined his sword and cut off the rebel leader’s nine black tails flying around the city walls. The rebel leader broke through the siege. Lin Feiyang rushed out in desperation. This was the moment the rebel leader only wanted to save his life. Lin Feiyang’s extended Spiritual Power caught the escaped leader. At the moment, Lin Feiyang’s black eyes were filled with killing. He wanted to kill all the rebels. The rebels escorted their leader all the way. Lin Feiyang’s blow sent the leader flying. Then his another blow made him spit blood. Lin Feiyang’s father pulled back the black iron arrow. With a whistle, countless arrows were shot at the enemy at the same time. The rebel leader grew a pair of wings and lunged at Lin Feiyang with a steel knife. Lin Feiyang’s father brandished a crossbow, but could not block the steel knife. The leader’s knife was sharp like a thorn that could pierce human body, and it went straight at Lin Feiyang. Tens of thousands of steel knives surged forward. Lin Feiyang saw that the situation was not good and he escaped in the air. The rebel leaders swept in.
