The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 682 - 680: Tender Moments under the Moonlight!

On the outskirts of the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom, ten thousand miles North, there was a lonely mountain.

Atop this lonely mountain, there lay an estate.

This estate was something Lin Bai had inadvertently found upon his arrival in Dayue Kingdom.

The past few days Lin Bai had taken time to clean up the estate, making it habitable.

As she entered the estate, the First Princess curiously asked, "Are no Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect here?"

Lin Bai responded with a smile, picking up the First Princess in his arms, and teasingly replied, "Of course not, they’re all waiting for my updates outside the Shengyue Sect right now."

"Now, in this estate, and even within thousands of miles radius, it’s just the two of us."

Lin Bai laughed mischievously.

The First Princess, held by Lin Bai, blushed deeply.

There was a passionate encounter.

From the dawn’s rising sun to late into the night.

At midnight, the moon hung high.

The moon in the Dayue Kingdom was extraordinarily beautiful, bright and seemed so close, as if one could touch it by merely reaching out.

The First Princess, dressed in white gauze, walked barefoot onto the balcony, and gazed at the bustling Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom, far far away.

She seemed lost in thought.

Standing under the bright moon, her white robe billowed, an ethereal sight, like a celestial being descended upon the mortal world.

Lin Bai awakened and noticed the First Princess on the balcony. The wind lifted her thin gauze, revealing the fair skin underneath, whiter than even the moonlight itself...

But Lin Bai could feel that the First Princess seemed to be lost in contemplation...

Slowly, Lin Bai got up, walked behind the First Princess, held her from behind, leaned his head on her shoulder, and asked affectionately, "What is it, Xiaoxiao?"

The First Princess affectionately caressed Lin Bai’s face and said, "Look at the mountains and rivers of Dayue Kingdom. Its territory is vast, its landscape magnificent, its people affluent and strong. Even though Shenwu Kingdom is adjacent to Dayue Kingdom, its power isn’t even one third of Dayue’s."

"Over the past thousands of years, an enormous amount of cultivation resources in the Territories of Shenwu Kingdom have been exhausted. Shenwu Kingdom is growing weaker and within a hundred years, at the most, it will be swallowed by Dayue Kingdom."

Although Shenwu Kingdom was vast, after thousands and tens of thousands of years of extraction and mining, many precious resources for cultivation had already been depleted.

If Shenwu Kingdom did not plunder or expand its territory, in a hundred years at most, it would degrade into a minor, powerless state, easily manipulated by others.

"You’re worried about the future of Shenwu Kingdom," commented Lin Bai.

The First Princess chuckled, "I am the eldest daughter of the Royal Family. And none of my brothers are competent. If we were to hand over Shenwu Kingdom to them, it would likely lead Shenwu Kingdom towards destruction."

Oh?

Hearing the words of the First Princess, Lin Bai suddenly seemed to understand something.

"You want to become the Empress?" Lin Bai asked softly.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, the First Princess laughed gently, turned around to embrace Lin Bai, and sweetly responded, "Regardless of the decisions I make in the future, I am your wife, till death do us part."

Holding Bai Xiaoxiao, Lin Bai uttered, "Same here, I’ve said before, I will never let you down. I won’t now, I never did, and I never will in the future."

"Just call out to me with your heart, regardless of where I am, regardless of the arduous journey it takes to get back, I will be by your side at the earliest!"

"I’ll battle for you, like in the Southern Region, where you led and I followed."

"My sword will always serve you."

Lin Bai said these words earnestly to Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Thank you, Lin Bai. It feels so good to have you around." Tears of joy and excitement flowed down the First Princess’s cheeks as she snuggled into Lin Bai’s arms.

The moon was like wine, too beautiful to behold.

Having a lover in your arms, what more could one ask for?

Lin Bai cupped the First Princess’s face and kissed her. They shared a passionate moment.

But just then-

Wooo Wooo Wooo~~~

Suddenly a gust of strange wind blew, echoing with eerie cries and howls.

Humm——

Lin Bai felt his hair stand on end, a chilling aura of death engulfing him and the First Princess.

Instantly, Lin and the First Princess broke away from their passionate embrace, glancing at each other in astonishment, before looking in every direction.

"Who’s there?"

Zing!

Lin Bai swiftly turned around, the Qingge Sword drawn from its sheath, sending forth a surge of Sword Intention. freēwēbnovel.com

Boom——

Just at this very moment, a fleshy monster wanted by Lin’s Sword Intention was thrown off, floating more than a hundred meters away.

Only then did Lin Bai and the First Princess see this... bald, strange creature clearly.

This monster had no eyes. Its face had a big mouth, revealing sharp teeth more than ten centimeters long, growling with harsh roars.

Its body resembled that of a human, but its skin and flesh were wrinkly and saggy.

On its back, it had a pair of meaty wings, flapping in mid-air.

Especially its hands and feet, the fingers were thirty centimeters long and extremely sharp, capable of tearing apart a mountain with a single claw.

"What is this thing? Is it a monster? But I’ve never seen such a monster before!" said the First Princess with a concerned voice.

"What are you?" Lin Bai coldly demanded.

"Sssssss......"

The monster angrily roared at Lin Bai and the First Princess, its wings flapping quickly, and launched itself at Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, be careful," the First Princess quickly reminded.

On seeing the monster attack, Lin Bai’s figure blurred and turned into a Waning Shadow, which launched itself in retaliation.

Sword Shadows filled the air, slicing down on the monster’s shoulder.

Squirt——

A substantial amount of blackish-red fluid spilled out from inside the flesh of the monster.

One of the monster’s limbs was severed by Lin Bai, and the blackish-red fluid was presumably its blood.

Quietly, Lin Bai operated his Devouring Sword Spirit and was about to absorb the fluid when a destructive force burst inside him and drained all his energy.

"Shoot! It’s poisonous!" Lin Bai exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant as he quickly circulated his True Qi to eliminate the toxin.

Fortunately, there was just a trace of toxin, not too powerful, Lin Bai was able to force it out with his True Qi.

If there had been more, Lin Bai would’ve been in danger.

"The blood of this monster is poisonous and the toxin seems to corrode the body and vitality of a warrior."

Lin Bai said to himself in shock.
