Chapter 255 News about Sheng Xueyan
I was so sleepy, a strong drowsiness kept washing over me, and my eyelids felt heavy, making it difficult to even open them a little.
In broad daylight, Xiao Chong returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep, snoring loudly for miles, enveloping most of Songcui City, completely devoid of any glorious image of a Martial Saint!
There's no way around it, I just can't take it anymore.
Since setting off from Baisha City, Xiao Chong led his men day and night, rushing to Songcui City without stopping.
After arriving at Songcui City, the battle to capture the city took another half day. After finally conquering Songcui City, he went into seclusion to cultivate until he emerged two days and three nights later.
As he was leaving the pass, the "Five Tigers" of the Martial Arts Association attacked. Xiao Chong displayed his great power and annihilated the "Five Tigers" in one fell swoop.
I intended to carefully observe the changes in my body before getting a good night's sleep, but then I suddenly decided to go out in the middle of the night and challenge the birds and beasts all night long.
How could one not be exhausted after going through all that? Even a martial saint couldn't withstand it!
Given Xiao Chong's cultivation level, even if he fought several more battles with martial saints like the "Five Tiger Generals," it wouldn't be a big deal. It would just require more effort and a few more attempts to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But... fighting against birds and beasts all over the mountains in the middle of the night? That's a much more tiring job than fighting a martial saint!
The ones on the ground are manageable, but what about those with wings? You can't just punch them to death, nor can you reason with them. So you can only jump around like a monkey.
That's not all. After all, at the Martial Saint realm, the Yuan Power within the body is as abundant as the sea, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
The problem is that those are just ordinary beasts, not hostile martial artists, so you can crush them with your Yuan Power without restraint.
As long as one's hands are slightly tainted with Yuan energy, all those birds and beasts will either die or be seriously injured.
What I want are vibrant lives, to be kept in the Purple Cloud Cauldron as a pleasing sight to behold. What use are some dead beasts and animals?
Therefore, Xiao Chong dared not use his Yuan power at all. Relying solely on his savage body, he traversed hundreds of miles in one night, going to great lengths and overcoming numerous obstacles to finally capture all the wild beasts in the mountains.
Released from the fatigue accumulated over the past few days, Xiao Chong slept soundly until evening when he was awakened by a series of urgent and heavy knocks on the door.
Finally, I can get a good night's sleep. Can't things wait until tomorrow? Xiao Chong got out of bed and opened the door. He saw Long Wu standing at the door, shivering. The frantic banging earlier was clearly his doing.
Behind Long Wu, Helian Tieshu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a half-smile, as if a flower had bloomed on his face.
"You bastard! I told you to guard the door, but you're banging on it like you're begging for my life! If you can't give me a legitimate reason, believe me, I'll make sure you never see the light of day again!" Startled from his dream, Xiao Chong was annoyed and his gaze toward Long Wu turned hostile.
"I'm innocent, boss!" Upon hearing Xiao Chong's threat, Long Wu let out a pig-like scream, hurriedly hiding behind Helian Tieshu and pushing the other man in front of him, saying, "He said he had an urgent matter, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Oh? Tell me, what is it that is so important?" Xiao Chong knew that Helian Tieshu was not someone who did not know the importance of things, so he glared at Long Wu and then softened his tone.
Helian Tieshu stretched out his hand from behind his back, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, and said, "Here is a letter for you, from Miss Sheng."
"Miss Sheng? Which Miss Sheng?" Xiao Chong had just been awakened by the knocking on the door and hadn't reacted yet.
Long Wu, being impatient, blurted out, "Of course it's the proprietress of Lianxin City!"
"Are you talking about Miss Sheng Xueyan?" Xiao Chong finally realized what was happening, snatched the parchment, and asked Helian Tieshu.
"Hmm." Helian Tieshu nodded.
Finally, he received a message from Xueyan! Xiao Chong was both surprised and delighted, and was about to unfold the letter to read it. But suddenly, he heard a discordant voice enter his ears.
Looking up sharply, he saw Long Wu shaking his head and muttering to himself, "After following you for so long, how many Sheng girls have you had? Does the boss have an affair? Or is he trying to get rid of her and deny everything?"
Huh? What are you saying? Xueyan and I are completely innocent. Although we have an agreement to be the boss's wife, we have never actually been together. So where does this talk of an affair come from?
Enraged, Xiao Chong's face immediately darkened. He raised an eyebrow, his spiritual power surging, ready to unleash his ultimate weapon against Long Wu.
"Help!"
After Long Wu finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate and was about to try to make amends when he suddenly felt a strong resentment rushing towards him, making him feel cold all over.
He was so terrified that he let out a bloodcurdling scream and turned tail and ran, disappearing in an instant. His speed was no less than that of a martial saint.
There's no need to pay attention to such a despicable person! Xiao Chong looked at Long Wu's back, sneered, and looked down at the letter.
The letter was written in bold, thick ink and large, unrefined handwriting:
“My lord Xiao Chong, it has been three years since we parted ways. Whenever I recall your voice, your smile, and your presence, it is as if you are right before my eyes, and I feel an overwhelming longing for you…”
My lord? Why not my husband? Wouldn't that sound more intimate?
Furthermore, the phrase "the voice and smile are right before my eyes" sounds somewhat ominous, as if it were a tale of "the person is dead, but their voice and appearance remain."
As Xiao Chong read, he read aloud without even realizing it.
"Heh!" Helian Tieshu couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Chong immediately stopped talking, then realized something was amiss.
"Did you secretly read my letter? Don't you know that's incredibly rude? And the handwriting doesn't look like Xueyan's. Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
Xiao Chong's gaze toward Helian Tieshu was also somewhat unfriendly.
"cough……"
Helian Tieshu coughed heavily and replied innocently, "Your Majesty, this is a message from the message box. Since it cannot be saved, I had no choice but to write it down myself and show it to you. I really did not intend to peek."
"So you've already seen it?"
“Cough…” Helian Tieshu coughed again and then fell silent.
"Did you find what I just said funny?" Xiao Chong still wanted to press the matter.
Helian Tieshu quickly tried to divert the other party's attention, saying, "Daoist Master, please continue reading. What Miss Sheng is about to say is somewhat urgent!"
Xiao Chong gave Helian Tieshu another unfriendly look before continuing to read.
"...In this world, the Martial Elders' Association and the Clan Alliance are irreconcilably at odds, with war raging year after year. Although the Clan Alliance has the will to resist, it is powerless against the odds, and with each step it retreats, signs of defeat are already emerging..."
"Although Xueyan is a woman, she bears the burden of family hatred and dares not forget it for even a day. She is determined to fight the enemy to the death..."
"I led a contingent of troops, besieged within Wuyou City, and fought the enemy fiercely for half a month, but we were unable to retreat..."
"Although this city is named Wuyou (meaning 'Carefree'), my heart is burning with rage. I lament that the enemy is before me, and I will never be able to avenge my great grudge. The fall of Wuyou City is imminent, and all I can do is cry out in despair..."
"Fortunately, I heard news of your well-being, which eased my worries somewhat. My only regret is that we cannot be married and fight side by side together..."
"As this letter is being sent, the enemy attacks again, leaving me no time to attend to anything else; and after this battle, I fear I will never see you again. I only hope that your spirit, even after death, will protect you and make our acquaintance worthwhile."
The letter ends here, signed as Xueyan's last words.
Xiao Chong silently finished reading the letter, stared at Helian Tieshu, and asked, "How far is this place from Wuyou City?"
“No less than ten thousand miles!” Helian Tieshu paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, “The movement of a large army is no small matter. Such a long distance, even by flying boat, would not be enough to arrive in time to provide assistance…”
"Summon my order! Summon all followers immediately! No one is to delay!" Xiao Chong interrupted Helian Tieshu, his words resolute and brooking no argument.
After thinking for a moment, he instructed, "Don't tell them the reason yet. Just say I have something to announce. Go on."
Helian Tieshu wanted to persuade him again, but he didn't say the words. He just shook his head and flew away.
