The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 256 - 257 Zhao Long Gets Angry
The woman in imperial attire was somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Xin, who had previously been fleeing, had stopped. She couldn’t understand what gave Ye Xin such bold confidence to look at her with such fearlessness.
At first, she did not understand, but as the Sword Qi converged from the Thunder Soul Power, streaking across the sky and shattering her Ice Cold Sword Qi into icy fragments, she realized where Ye Xin’s confidence came from.
Through the fluttering ice shards, the woman in imperial attire saw clearly a streak of crimson lightning moving at an extreme speed from the distant horizon, arriving beside Ye Xin.
A young man in a white robe appeared beside Ye Xin. He looked over Ye Xin’s condition with concern before glancing over with a somber expression.
At this moment, Lin Qian felt both anger and relief; had he arrived even a moment later, he might have found nothing but Ye Xin’s cold corpse.
Ye Xin’s condition was not optimistic; her Soul Power was greatly depleted, and she was physically and mentally exhausted. Facing the combined assault of four masters from the Life and Death Realm at the Body Realm level was anything but easy.
Just as the woman in imperial attire had thought, Ye Xin was now at the end of her tether.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
With the woman in imperial attire being at the Life and Death Realm and Soul Realm levels, even a less powerful Ice Cold Sword Qi could still send Ye Xin to her demise!
The starlight dress, now devoid of Ye Xin’s Soul Power support, would surely have its defenses greatly reduced. And what was truly fatal was not the impact of the Soul Power but rather the Ice Cold aura!
"No wonder, so it’s your little lover who’s come. He’s even reached the Sky Breaking Realm. How disgusting that this South Meeting allows any Tom, Dick, or Harry to enter," said the woman in imperial attire with a look of disgust, not hiding her disdainful expression as she looked at Lin Qian and Ye Xin, "But to be able to block a sword attack with thirty percent of a princess’s strength at the Sky Crossing Stage of the Sky Breaking Realm, you should be proud."
"Here’s what we’ll do. Seeing that you have some talent and strength, I, the princess, will show you some mercy and not make things difficult for you."
Then, the woman in imperial attire, showing a pitiful expression, pointed at Ye Xin and then Lin Qian and began to speak, "You wretched maid, take off that dress and present it to me, and scratch your own face. You, servant, cut off one of your arms and gouge out your tongue. Both of you become my slaves, and you may yet keep your lives."

"Heh!" Lin Qian let out a light laugh upon hearing the woman in imperial attire’s words, not paying them much attention. Instead, he looked over at Ye Xin with concern, and a bottle of potion appeared in his hand, which he handed over to her.
Ye Xin took the potion Lin Qian passed her, opened the cork, and drank the bright red liquid inside, which, although it resembled fresh blood, actually tasted sweet and refreshing.
After taking the recovery potion, Ye Xin could clearly feel her depleted Soul Power and physical strength swiftly being restored.
"Just wait for the effect of the potion to finish, and then drink another bottle. You should be able to recover to peak condition," Lin Qian said as he gave Ye Xin a pile of potions, cautioning her, "Taking the second bottle before the effect of the first wears off won’t have any effect and will just be a waste."
Ye Xin obediently nodded at Lin Qian, indicating that she understood.
Seeing Ye Xin’s complexion improving steadily, Lin Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, blaming himself for not being more careful.
As for potions, in fact, Lin Qian had already given Ye Xin quite a few, but he had only given her those for cultivation and had forgotten to provide ones for recovery and injury. Fortunately, there had been no accidents this time, and he had arrived just in time. Lin Qian would never forgive himself if he had been late.
Seeing Lin Qian and Ye Xin busy with their own affairs and completely disregarding her, the woman in imperial attire was so angry she clenched her teeth, wishing she could chop them to pieces and feed them to dogs!
She had been pampered from a young age, everyone doted on her, and she was always the center of attention. She had never been subjected to such contempt before. Moreover, these two people, in her eyes, were not talents from any significant power, just nobodies from some remote, insignificant place, lowly beings.
"Where do these lowly wretches come from," one of the female attendants started, pointing at Lin Qian and loudly berating him, "the princess graces you with her kindness, yet you dare be so ungrateful, the audacity!"
"Kindness to us? How amusing, the so-called kindness is asking my fiancée to scar her own face, to give up the skirt she loves? The so-called kindness, is demanding I sever my own arm, gouge out my tongue?" Upon hearing the palace-clad woman’s female attendant’s words, Lin Qian scoffed, "Who do you think you are to even qualify for me to personally deal with you?"
When Lin Qian’s words ended, the palace-clad woman’s face had already become so gloomy it seemed water would drip from it.
Her other attendant, even more furious, pointed at Lin Qian and rebuked him angrily, "You lowly cur, such audacity you have, now slit your throat as an apology!"
"Enough!"
Just as the words of the two female attendants had finished, an enraged roar that reached its peak thundered through the sky, the sound waves rippling through the air and rolling outwards.
This roar contained sound waves so powerful that the two female attendants felt tightness in their chests and shortness of breath, causing them to stagger backwards. Even a look of surprise appeared on the palace-clad woman’s face, as she faintly manifested some Soul Power to resist the effect of the sound waves.
When they regained their senses, they had already seen a tall, handsome, and valiant man wearing silver-black dragon armor appear in the mid-air in front of them, glaring at them with a face full of uncontainable anger.
"You insects, you scum, dare to rebuke the supreme emperor and the empress, nothing more than ugly sows, it’s a great disrespect to even appear before the emperor and empress, yet you still dare to spout such nonsense."
"What dogshit princess from where, just by your defiance against the emperor, your country should be wiped out to forgive your sins!"
"What kind of beast must you come from to have birthed such a cheap wench, utterly vile and shameless, deserving of death, deserving of death!!!"
Zhao Long had completely lost his mind, spiraling into madness, lacking any sense. The casual settings Lin Qian had given him in a past life game had, after becoming a reality, twisted his loyalty into something bordering on the fanatical.
To maintain the tactical map and locate Ye Xin, Zhao Long’s eyes were imbued with Soul Power, allowing him to see and hear what was happening in the outside world within the Empire.
The events unfolding set the entire Huaxia Empire ablaze, shaking the whole Xuanhuan Star.
Especially Zhao Long, according to Zhuge Ming, if Lin Qian did not let him out to take action soon, he would probably go mad with impatience.
"Where does this fool come from, an emperor? An empress? Some lowly person from a remote area, daring to be presumptuous in front of the White Jade Dynasty’s Fifth Princess!" one of the female attendants, upon hearing Zhao Long’s words, jeered, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Seeing the female attendant’s words, Lin Qian shook his head repeatedly and spoke to Ye Xin, "That’s it then, Zhao Long is probably going to go insane, but at least you’ll get to see him unleash his big move..."
"Big move?"
"In terms you’d understand, it’s a Mysterious Soul Skill."
