Continuously killing the assassins who attacked Wuying, Jian Shen thought that maybe his rage would go down with this.
Unfortunately, not only did nothing of that sort not happen. Jian Shen's rage further increased after learning how weak his opponents were.
He wasn't able to protect Wuying from these weak bastards?
Fuck!
Hunting down each and every last one of the assassins who managed to escape the blowing winds he surrounded them with, Jian Shen stopped after killing the final one.
Standing in the same spot and dripping blood which didn't belong to him, Jian Shen nervously spoke to Qingyu.
"How is she?"
"She's fine."
"Fine?"
"Yes. She's completely fine. Though the poison was quite strong for something made in this realm, it couldn't really compare to the herbs I used to treat her."
"I didn't know that you were a doctor, broken sword."
"I'm not. I just know more about taking care of others than you, stalker."
Chuckling from how those two lines managed to get rid off all the nervousness and anxiety inside him, Jian Shen turned around just in time for Li Qiao to arrive with an ugly expression.
"What happened today is all my fault. If my soldiers had done a better job, the enemy's spies wouldn't have been able to enter the capital city."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen didn't believe Li Qiao because he just spoke. Instead, it was because he had seen some signs on the dead bodies which linked them to the Taiyang Empire.
"How is lady Wuying? Is she fine? Those bastards probably wanted to kidnap her and use her as a hostage to turn her father into their supporter!"
Having guessed all of this, Jian Shen didn't show much of a change in his emotion and slashed the air to get rid of the blood stuck to the Sword of Despair.
Placing it in the same spot as usual, Jian Shen turned around to leave without answering a single one of Li Qiao's question.
"Wait a second! What happened to lady Wuying? I need to know that she's fine!"
"When you couldn't even protect her, why bother so much about what happened to her? I'll take care of her from now on."
With those words, Jian Shen flew away leaving Li Qiao with an even uglier expression than when he arrived.
Jian Shen's words had basically said that Wuying was alive, but she would no longer be affiliated to the Yueliang Empire, or help it in any way.
This meant that after her father heard about what happened, he would definitely not support the Taiyang Empire, and Jian Shen would not let him support the Yueliang Empire either.
If only he had arrived and protected Wuying from those assassins before Jian Shen, maybe he would've been able to obtain the Heavenly Resource Pavillions support!
Damm it!
Filled with rage towards Jian Shen who obtained the opportunity, and the dead assassins for being too weak and not even able to hold Jian Shen, Li Qiao could only kick himself in regret.
It was also around this time that the others had also arrived and we're a little taken back from seeing the blood and human part riddled roads and buildings beneath them.
"What happened here?"
...
Flying a little further away, Jian Shen's body suddenly disappeared from the outside world and entered the World Crest.
Walking towards the only house inside the World Crest, Jian Shen passed by the Yaomei sisters who were too immersed in their cultivation to even sense what was going around them.
Making a note to either personally build a few more houses or just transport them inside the World Crest from the outside, since having just one house was quite a hassle, Jian Shen entered the cabin where Qingyu and Yu Yan were waiting for him.
Similarly, Juewang also appeared beside them making the small wooden cabin feel a little cramped up already.
Not that Jian Shen who would have to pass through them minded it much.
"Can I go see her?"
Rolling her eyes at how Jian Shen was treating a simple case of poisoning like Wuying's soul had been destroyed and was being reformed.
Qingyu said, "Knock yourself out."
Walking through the space between the women who didn't want to move, Jian Shen despite having all of his thoughts on the poisoned Wuying couldn't help but enjoy a little at how it felt when their bodies brushed against his own.
Entering the room, Jian Shen didn't see a week and tired Wuying as he expected.
Instead, she was sitting erect and glaring at him.
Why was she glaring at him, when he saved her?
Maybe she's hallucinating!
Thinking so, Jian Shen hastily got closer to her and was about to check her pulse when Wuying slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me, you philanderer!"
"What are you talking about? You're just hallucinating. It's me, Jia.. "
"I know who you are! And I've already met the women you keep close by!"
"Oh... "
Understanding what she meant, Jian Shen knew that it was best to make her forget about it by changing the topic.
"For what it did to you, I'm going to destroy the whole Taiyang Empire!"
"Who are those four women?"
"Didn't you hear me? I'll really destroy the entire Taiyang Empire for you!!!"
"Yeah yeah, I heard it. Now tell me whose those four women are."
Wanting to cry because he really meant that he said, Jian Shen felt that Wuying wouldn't believe him until he destroyed it.
"It's fine if you don't want to say anything, but I want to marry me."
"Marry?"
"Yes. Why? You don't want to?"
Ignoring Jian Shen who didn't say anything, Wuying continued by saying, "You should ask my father for permission first. When are you going to?"
"Also, you slept with those five girls didn't you?"
Unable to stay there anymore since he was sure that Wuying was completely fine, Jian Shen suddenly said, "Ummm... I think someone's calling for me. See you later Wuying, take care."
