Chapter 254: 136. Siblings Sever Ties! Ye Chen Crying For His Mother! Jiang Yuan's Last Sword (7K Large Chapter)_3
Lin Xiao, however, was dismissive. He slowly opened his eyes, glanced up at the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Heavens, Yingying, your... your spiritual power has grown stronger again! You can even keep pace with Master!"
"Hehe."
Lu Yingying winked playfully. "I have my Eldest Senior Brother to thank for that! Thanks to you, my Dharma Appearance took shape in one step! I can almost touch the true form of that adorable, simple-minded bamboo-eating bear!"
So that's how it is. Lin Xiao felt both amazed and speechless.
He was naturally pleased that his little junior sister, a born Beast Control Spirit Body with limitless potential, had become stronger.
But damn it... Because my little junior sister has now awakened her second physique, the 'Mad Lust Witch Form', her increase in strength is entirely due to *me*, Lin Xiao, constantly pouring out *my* power! This feeling is just too shameful!
Lin Xiao covered his face, finding it hard to bear.
"By the way, Eldest Senior Brother, since we're on this topic..."
The girl slowed the carriage, suddenly leaned in, and unexpectedly kissed Lin Xiao on the lips. "Eldest Senior Brother, next time, could your Formless... the Formless Sword Body's Sword Intent... remain inside me? It seems my strength increases faster that way, you know."
"Don't worry! I know Eldest Senior Brother is very gentle and worries I'll be uncomfortable! But rest assured! I really enjoy it, and..."
The girl's cat-like eyes sparkled. She spread her arms, made a 'big' gesture, and continued with a crimson face, "I really, really enjoy... the feeling of being filled up by Eldest Senior Brother!"
KA-THUMP!
Lin Xiao's powerful frame trembled violently, his qi and blood surged, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
It's truly hard for me to imagine... that someone in this world could say such outrageous things with such an innocent, pure, and adorable expression. The Qinglan Sect's Queen of Innuendo, it has to be you! Naughty Kitten Queen—Yingying!
...
「Soon after Lin Xiao and his companions left Beacon City.」
A figure in a black windbreaker, holding a sword in his one remaining arm, walked tremblingly and weakly through the city gates.
The appearance of this Princely Heir of Prince Beichuan quickly caused a stir among the Beichuan soldiers at the city gate.
Xiong Lie, the Right General of the Beichuan army, immediately rode forward, overruled all objections, and escorted the man into a military tent.
"Right General Xiong, I have failed..."
"That petty Lin Xiao! Using some cunning trick, he actually managed to bewitch that fiend Niu Batian of the Evil Extreme Sect!"
"Those two ants, acting in cahoots, ganged up on me! Fortunately, my divine techniques are peerless, and my luck defies the heavens, so I barely escaped with my life!"
"Otherwise..."
The young man sighed heavily at this point, choking up as he said, "The Ye family would have no heir! Your 800,000 Beichuan soldiers would have completely lost their master! Alas!"
"You've suffered, Princely Heir."
Xiong Lie, also looking sorrowful, reached out his large hands to gently pat the back of his former master's son, comforting him, "In that case, it seems Lin Xiao wasn't fated to die. Perhaps we should just..."
"Xiong Lie! Take me to see Xuan'er! I'll tell you the truth! I've provoked a truly formidable existence! Lin Xiao is nothing but dogshit compared to him!"
Ye Chen abruptly raised his head, grasping the general's large hand, his voice thick with tears, "Right General Xiong! I beg you! Right now, only Sister Xuan'er can save me! Didn't you say it yourself before? The bond between brother and sister runs deep! If she knew my current predicament, she definitely wouldn't stand by and watch me die!"
"Right General Xiong! You were my father's most capable and trusted general, a loyal servant of the Ye family! You'll definitely help me, right?"
As he spoke, the young man's gaze gradually sharpened, as if daring him to refuse.
"Sigh, Princely Heir, there's something you don't know."
Xiong Lie sighed helplessly. "Not long after you left last time, Her Majesty the Queen convened all the high-ranking officers of the Beichuan army and personally ordered that you are not to take a single step near the Beichuan military camp. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?! Just say it!" Ye Chen bit out through clenched teeth.
"Otherwise—kill on sight." Xiong Lie forced out the last three words.
"What?! She... she's my own sister! And now she turns her blade against her elder brother! Ridiculous! With such an unloyal and unfilial wretch of a daughter, if our father knew in the netherworld, he would never be able to rest in peace!"
Ye Chen's eyes looked ready to burst from their sockets as he howled.
"Princely Heir, Princely Heir, please lower your voice!"
Xiong Lie glanced around nervously. "It was fortunate that my men saw you entering the city this time. If it had been other generals, I'm afraid..."
"Impossible!"
Ye Chen glared, his teeth clenched. "Most of the generals in the Beichuan army are trusted aides personally promoted by my father! It's no exaggeration to say they are retainers of the Ye family! With Ye Xuan'er treating me like this, how can they remain silent?"
Xiong Lie shook his head with a bitter smile. "Princely Heir, you regard us old generals, who have braved life and death for the Ye family, as mere retainers, and I dare not refute that. But you must understand, even if that is so, the Ye family has a new master now."
"And that master is not you."
Hearing these words was like receiving a death sentence.
Ye Chen's eyes instantly went blank. He stared into empty space, speechless for a long, long time.
The 800,000 elite Beichuan soldiers that I, Ye Wudi, have always yearned for, the ones I considered my final bulwark... Have I completely lost them? All for that mere girl, my sister, making all my efforts pave the way for her!?
"NOOOO—!"
Tears of blood streamed down his face as the young man roared, "What did Ye Xuan'er do to make you all follow her so devotedly! Open your eyes and look! I, the Princely Heir who evaded the relentless pursuit of the Great Zhou Empress, am the true Son of Destiny!"
