Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 52: You're being bullied, how useless! (4000 words, two-in-one)

Monster Suppression City, Wu Kingdom.

A man sat on the city lord's seat, made of countless skulls.

The man wore iron-blue armor, was burly and thick-waisted, and stood a full fifteen feet tall, like a small giant.

His face bore a scar, giving him a terrifying appearance.

The man picked up a wine jar and "glug glug glug" drained the wine in one gulp.

Wiping his mouth, the man looked at an imperial edict from the palace on the table.

The more he looked, the more melancholy he became, scratching his head with his calloused hand, looking rather puzzled.

The man's puzzled expression formed a stark contrast with his terrifying face and physique.

In front of the man stood a little girl.

The little girl was about four feet tall, looking no more than eight or nine years old.

She had a pointed oval face, with extremely delicate features, as if crafted meticulously by the old hands of the heavens.

However, this little girl was somewhat different.

The little girl's skin was very white.

Her whiteness was not a snowy, creamy white, but rather like the thinnest layer taken from white, icy marble, covered with a thin layer of white snow, and then frozen.

It seemed that with just a little force, one could poke through her excessively white, paper-thin face.

Besides the little girl's snow-white skin, even her hair was white, and so were her eyelashes.

The clothes she wore were made casually from a piece of plain white cloth, resembling a cheongsam, or perhaps a long gown, with slits at the thighs, and a pair of snow-white feet stepping on the ground.

The only other color on the girl's body was her pair of red eyes, as clear and bright as gemstones.

"What... what does it say?" the man asked, lowering his head.

"Chen Nan, you idiot! I've made you study for so long, and how many words do you know?" The girl named Chen Suier raised her little foot and kicked the man's iron boot.

"Emperor, fight, charge, kill," Chen Nan pointed at the imperial edict, saying the words he knew.

"Alright, alright, stop reading, you're just an idiot," Chen Suier interrupted Chen Nan.

"Ooh..." The big guy lowered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Chen Suier picked up the imperial edict and sighed, "The old emperor's house was peed on by a dog, and that dog came from the Myriad Manifestation Demon Kingdom in the Southern Border. The old emperor feels he has lost face and wants us to send troops to get back at them."

"Get back at them?" The big guy was stunned for a moment, then his huge eyes lit up, "Fighting?"

Chen Suier put away the imperial edict and sighed, "Yes, fighting."

"Great... I... I like fighting..." Just as Chen Nan excitedly wanted to stand up, he saw the little girl's eyes below him.

Chen Nan immediately wilted and quickly lowered his head.

"Fighting, fighting! All you know is fighting! Do you know that people die in war!"

Clearly, Chen Suier didn't intend to let Chen Nan off, raising her little foot and kicking Chen Nan again and again.

The big guy held his hands in grievance, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.

"That old emperor only knows how to cause us trouble," Chen Suier spat a mouthful of crystal saliva, "Let's go out first, the two women from the Myriad Sword Sect should have arrived too. Really, it was so difficult to have a few days of peace."

"Ooh..."

Chen Nan stretched out his hand, placing it in front of Chen Suier.

Chen Suier jumped onto Chen Nan's huge palm.

Chen Nan placed Chen Suier on his shoulder, stood up, and walked step by step towards the outside of the city lord's mansion.

With a height of fifteen feet and a huge physique accompanied by the iron armor on his body, Chen Nan's every step was accompanied by a huge sound, as if the ground was shaking.

Chen Suier sat on Chen Nan's body and came to the ten-thousand-foot-high city wall of Monster Suppression City, she crossed her legs and yawned boredly.

Below Monster Suppression City were the corpses and flesh of demons and humans, the red of the soil dyed by blood.

Spider lilies bloomed on the corpses.

"They're quite punctual."

About half an hour later, Chen Suier yawned and looked at the two sword lights piercing through the clouds.

Chen Suier flicked the necklace on her neck, the barrier of Monster Suppression City opened, and two sword lights landed on the city wall.

"Sect Leader Jiang, I hope you've been well," Chen Suier said with a smile, looking at the little girl beside Jiang Luoyu, "This must be the famous Xu Xuenuo, who has crossed five realms and entered the Cave Realm?"

Xu Xuenuo looked at the little girl sitting on the giant's shoulder.

This little girl didn't seem to be as tall as her, and her age should be smaller than her, but she had a feeling of being precocious.

"Miss Suier, I hope you've been well too," Jiang Luoyu nodded, "I'm troubling Monster Suppression City with my disciple's sword opening."

"It's nothing, we, Monster Suppression City, have cooperated with your Myriad Sword Sect so many times. This time, it's just one person from your Myriad Sword Sect opening a sword, and it's just your disciple, so the price may be a little higher," Chen Suier smiled and extended a slender, delicate index finger: "A great demon in the Jade Purity Realm."

Jiang Luoyu nodded: "Acceptable."

Chen Suier: "Then it's settled. You can rest for a while, and tomorrow we will go to the Myriad Manifestation Demon Kingdom to plunder."

Jiang Luoyu looked into Chen Suier's eyes: "When did Monster Suppression City start actively causing trouble for the Southern Border demon kingdoms?"

Chen Suier spread her hands: "I don't want to either. Originally, those beasts in the Southern Border hadn't come for two months. Look, the corpses under the city wall have started to grow spider lilies.

But our old emperor lost face not long ago. A dog from the Southern Border demon kingdom ran to the Martial Capital to assassinate the naturally gifted scholar from the Qi Kingdom.

Although the assassination failed, they ran away. The old emperor was angry and definitely wanted to get back at them. So, we, Monster Suppression City, are the ones suffering.

Oh, right."

Looking at Xu Xuenuo, Chen Suier suddenly thought, "Speaking of which, the one who saved that little scholar from the Qi Kingdom was someone from the Xu Kingdom Mansion, named Xu Ming. Little girl Xuenuo, you should know him, right?"

Xu Xuenuo hated being called a little girl by someone who wasn't even as tall as her.

However, upon hearing the name "Xu Ming," Xu Xuenuo's attention was immediately drawn: "Xu Ming saved someone from the Qi Kingdom?"

"Yes," Chen Suier nodded, "Xu Ming seemed to be touring the Martial Capital with that Zhu Cici when they were attacked."

"Is he alright?" Xu Xuenuo's heart raced.

"He seemed to have suffered a little injury, but it wasn't serious. He eventually fainted from exhaustion," Chen Suier spread her hands.

"..." Xu Xuenuo couldn't help but clench her long sword.

"Alright, you two should rest well. We'll be leaving the city at dawn tomorrow."

With that, Chen Suier patted the big guy's head, and Chen Nan carried Chen Suier and turned to descend the city wall.

Jiang Luoyu led Xu Xuenuo to a courtyard in Monster Suppression City.

This courtyard was free of dust and very clean, clearly cleaned regularly.

"This is where our Myriad Sword Sect disciples stay when they come to train. You can choose any room to stay in. Get up early tomorrow and go to open your sword."

Jiang Luoyu said calmly.

"Although you are in the Cave Realm, I will not interfere if a demon in the Sea Gazing Realm attacks you. You are responsible for your own life and death on the battlefield. Be careful."

"Yes, Master," Xu Xuenuo nodded.

"Rest well. This is the last step in tempering your natal flying sword. Do not slack off," Jiang Luoyu reminded her one last time before saying nothing more.

Xu Xuenuo was already used to her master's cold personality.

After returning to her room, Xu Xuenuo sat cross-legged on the bed, placing her natal flying sword Qingming on her lap, carefully connecting with her natal flying sword.

However, Xu Xuenuo seemed somewhat absent-minded.

"If you are bullied in the future, come to the Myriad Sword Sect to find me."

"Okay, but what if I can't go to the Myriad Sword Sect?"

"Then I will definitely come to find you."

In Xu Xuenuo's mind, the words she had said to him at the time of parting kept echoing.

"He seemed to have suffered a little injury, but it wasn't serious. He eventually fainted from exhaustion."

When the little girl named Chen Suier echoed in Xu Xuenuo's ears again, Xu Xuenuo slowly opened her eyes.

On Xu Xuenuo's knees, the long sword Qingming kept鸣叫.

Xu Xuenuo stretched out her hand, covering the hilt of the sword, and frowned:

"I've only been gone for a short time, and you're being bullied, how useless!"

Early the next morning.

Two quarters before dawn, horns sounded one after another in Monster Suppression City.

Xu Xuenuo opened her eyes, got up from the bed, and walked out of the courtyard with her master, holding her long sword.

Arriving at the city head of Monster Suppression City.

Xu Xuenuo gathered spiritual power in her eyes and looked down from the hundred-foot city wall. The army of Monster Suppression City had already formed several neat and uniform square formations.

They were all wearing dark red armor, holding long sabers, standing still, like stones stuck in the mud, with a strong sense of肃杀 echoing.

Three hundred thousand Dragon-Leopard Iron Cavalry!

An army on par with the Blood Floating Butcher and Iron Tiger Army of the Wu Kingdom.

Guarding Monster Suppression City for generations.

As the city wall vibrated, Chen Suier sat on Chen Nan's shoulder and stood on the city wall.

Chen Suier held a string of candied hawthorns in her hand, eating them one by one.

When Chen Suier ate the last one, the bamboo stick in Chen Suier's hand was thrown down from the hundred-foot city wall, she yawned, patted Chen Nan's head, and said casually: "Depart."

"Roar!!!"

Chen Nan raised his head and roared loudly, like a tiger roaring and a dragon singing.

Three hundred thousand soldiers turned on their horses, wheeled around in unison, and galloped off in the same direction, raising plumes of dust several feet high.

"Roar!"

Chen Nan leaped from the city wall, landing heavily on the ground like a falling meteor, creating a huge crater.

Chen Nan continued to charge forward, his speed no less than that of the dragon-leopard iron cavalry astride their steeds with the bloodline of the Lu Shu deer.

Chen Suier, sitting on Chen Nan's shoulders, crossed her legs, her delicate white feet swinging back and forth, her gaze fixed on the border city of the Myriad Manifestations Demon Kingdom, hundreds of miles away.

At the same time, several demon kingdoms bordering Wu Country's Demon Suppression City received scout reports.

Hearing that the Demon Suppression City's three hundred thousand iron cavalry had mobilized, they were shocked and quickly rushed to the city walls, wielding magical treasures to gaze at the wilderness where countless humans and demons had died.

Soon, all the city lords of the demon kingdoms' border cities breathed a sigh of relief.

The good news was that they were not the target.

The bad news was that the fifteen border cities of the fifteen demon kingdoms on the southern border had formed an alliance, and if one was attacked, the other fourteen cities were obligated to send troops to rescue it.

Otherwise, if the Demon Suppression City were to break a gap, the defense line connecting the fifteen border cities of the Southern Border Demon Kingdom would be in trouble.

Speaking of which, their direction seems to be...

Yacheng of the Myriad Manifestations Demon Kingdom?

How did the Myriad Manifestations Demon Kingdom provoke that Chen Suier?

Yacheng, the border city of the Myriad Manifestations Demon Kingdom.

The city lord of Yacheng was already standing on the city wall, staring at the dragon-leopard iron cavalry charging towards him.

Others might not know what had happened.

But the city lord of Yacheng was all too clear.

The imperial court had gone mad and attempted to assassinate the Qi Kingdom's naturally gifted literary talent in Wudu.

It would have been one thing if they had succeeded, but they had failed.

Wu Country, founded on martial prowess, wouldn't just scold you and let it go.

If Wu Country lost face, it would demand repayment in blood.

"Transmit my military order! Open the city! Meet the enemy!"

The city lord of Yacheng did not adopt a strategy of holding the city and refusing to come out.

The city lord of Yacheng did not have much confidence in his city's protective magic array. If it were broken, Yacheng would inevitably be massacred.

Only by sending troops to intercept the enemy outside and waiting for the other fourteen cities to send troops could they repel the enemy and minimize their own losses.

But even so, Yacheng's losses this time would be immeasurable!

Because the fourteen cities would definitely not send too many troops, and Yacheng would have to bear the brunt of the attack while withstanding the cavalry's most violent first charge!

"Damn it! Those guys in the imperial court all deserve to die!"

The city lord of Yacheng cursed loudly.

The city gates of Yacheng opened wide.

One hundred thousand demons rushed out to meet the enemy.

As the two armies clashed, Chen Nan wielded the Heaven-Shaking Hammer taken from his storage bag, and each heavy blow turned into a pile of minced meat.

The dragon-leopard iron cavalry charged through the army of the Myriad Manifestations Demon Kingdom, spears piercing the chests of demon warriors like skewers of candied haws.

When the Lu Shu horses under the dragon-blooded iron cavalry had their legs chopped off, they decisively abandoned their horses, drew the twin blades from their waists, and fought fiercely against the enemy!

The Myriad Manifestations Kingdom withstood the first wave of attack from the Demon Suppression City fairly well, but when things were about to go wrong, the other fourteen cities arrived with a total of 420,000 troops!

Xu Xuenuo held her long sword, standing on the battlefield.

The flying flesh and blood made Xu Xuenuo feel very uncomfortable, especially the thick stench of blood, which made Xu Xuenuo feel like vomiting.

When Xu Xuenuo personally pierced the heart of a demon with her long sword, the sensation transmitted from the tip of the sword made Xu Xuenuo feel disgusted!

But Xu Xuenuo quickly stabilized her mind.

The battlefield's brutality forced Xu Xuenuo to accept the slaughter of blood and flesh in the most forceful way.

Whenever Xu Xuenuo killed a demon, the demon's blood stained the Qingming Longsword, making the blade even sharper.

"Woof woof!"

Hundreds of dog demons transformed into their original forms and rushed onto the battlefield.

Xu Xuenuo turned around and walked towards the area where the hundreds of dog demons were.

If she remembered correctly.

What Chen Suier had said yesterday.

The demon who harmed Xu Ming was a dog?
