King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 837 - 246: The Blood Shadow and the Demon God Emerge, Desolate Battlefield Strewn With Soul Remnants (Part 3)

Yili slowly reined in her horse and stopped, her gaze sweeping over Lin Wanqing, Gong Simeng, Bai Zhi, Liu Guihua, and the other ladies beside her.

In an instant, her heart tightened slightly, and a hint of jealousy quietly rose in her heart, like a gentle spring breeze rippling across a calm lake. However, she was well aware of her own identity, and she forcibly suppressed her emotions, maintaining a smile on her face.

Yet that smile, like a flower in spring, appeared vibrant but could not hide the trace of loneliness in her eyes.

Shi Feiyang noticed this, fully understanding Yili’s thoughts. He smiled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of affection and concern. Reaching into the mysterious deerskin pouch at his waist, he took out a Xu Fu Immortal Pill radiating a strange light.

As soon as this Immortal Pill appeared, it diffused a faint fragrance, lingering around the people present.

The fragrance seemed to possess some magical power, making those who inhaled it feel refreshed and at ease.

Shi Feiyang spoke to Yili with a serious expression, "My lady, this is the Xu Fu Immortal Pill, with an extraordinary origin. I encountered many tribulations and narrowly escaped death to obtain this treasure. Today, I bestow it upon you, hoping that once you consume it, it will significantly enhance your power, giving you greater self-protection in the Jianghu." His voice was calm and firm, conveying deep care for Yili.

Every word carried endless warmth, reaching Yili’s ears.

Upon hearing this, a glimpse of delight flashed in Yili’s eyes, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement.

She took the Immortal Pill, examining it carefully.

"Husband, is this... really for me?" Yili asked, her voice slightly trembling.

Shi Feiyang nodded gently, his eyes filled with encouragement.

Yili hesitated no more, placing the Immortal Pill in her mouth. Instantly, a surge of heat rose from her abdomen, and she felt her body temperature soar, with the energy within her coursing like a raging river, fierce and uncontrollable.

Yili’s expression changed, knowing she had to quickly calm her mind and regulate her Inner Strength, or else this powerful force might disrupt her meridians.

She hurriedly excused herself to the others and quickly slipped into the tent to meditate and cultivate her Inner Strength.

In the tent, Yili closed her eyes and concentrated, guiding the wild Inner Strength to circulate slowly through her meridians.

Her mind was filled with numerous thoughts—of her husband’s affection for her, Lin Wanqing’s gentle grace, Gong Simeng’s talent and artistry, Bai Zhi’s extraordinary gifts, Liu Guihua’s assistance in helping Shi Feiyang form the Heroic Sakura Association, and Princess Gugela’s role in forging the alliance and strengthening both the Lindan Tribe and the Heroic Sakura Association. Thinking of these, Yili’s jealousy gradually dissipated, and she mused silently, "Let it be, let it be, everyone’s doing it for the sake of my husband and the growth of the Heroic Sakura Association."

The Immortal Pill’s effect not only boosted Yili’s Inner Power a hundredfold but also broadened her mind. Amidst cultivating, she also pondered her lack of pregnancy and children, feeling a faint sorrow in her heart.

The proud Yili thought to herself that if she were to leave Shi Feiyang without a child in her life, it would truly be a pity.

Therefore, she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to focus on cultivating her Inner Strength, hoping to transform this immense power for her own use as soon as possible.

Lin Wanqing quietly approached Shi Feiyang and gently chided, "I didn’t expect you to be so adept at charming women. You’re quite the Casanova! You seem so taciturn usually, but you’re deep and strategic, your plans are meticulous, and your methods ruthless, everything is under your control."

Shi Feiyang smiled and remained silent, not defending himself, knowing well that arguing with a woman would only complicate things. Women liked to hear lies, but if he spoke lies all the time, it would be exhausting.

Just then, a sudden sound of hooves was heard from afar, like rolling thunder from the horizon, as if thousands of horses were galloping, their sound shaking the earth slightly. Looking up, they saw dust filling the sky, like a surging black tide, sweeping in from all directions, instantly turning the distant sky a dull yellow.

Shi Feiyang and the others immediately understood that an unknown band of bandits had attacked them.

This group of bandits was numerous, densely packed, like an army of ants swarming, stretching as far as the eye could see.

They wore coarse linen clothes of different styles, yet they could not conceal the fierce aura emanating from them. Well-equipped, their weapons glittered in the sunlight like countless cold stars, each glimmering with the promise of impending slaughter.

They were like a pack of ravenous wolves, growling as they charged towards the "caravan," with menacing intent, clearly coveting the caravan’s valuables and prepared to commit the most heinous acts.

Lin Wanqing’s eyes widened instantly, like cold stars suddenly appearing, with a chilling light of determination.

She exclaimed, her voice crisp yet commanding with undeniable authority, "Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, quickly protect my sister Yili!"

She knew well that Yili was in the tent at this moment, fully focused on refining the Xu Fu Immortal Pill. If disturbed now, the power within her might surge uncontrollably like floodwaters, leading to ruptured blood vessels and life-threatening danger.

At this critical juncture concerning Yili’s life and death, she could not allow even the slightest misstep.

Gong Simeng, carrying her daughter and holding her son, had a calm expression like a bottomless, serene pool, unruffled by the storm.

She steadily seated herself in front of Yili’s tent, like an imposing mountain, providing endless reassurance to all.

The ever-obedient Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, as if with a tacit understanding, immediately stood by her side as two towering hills, exuding a chilling aura, declaring to the world that this was the land they vowed to protect with their lives, allowing no one to take even a single step in.
