This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“What a wonderful world!” Liu Ruoshui marveled. It was a world quite different from the world of fairies and devils. It had flying iron birds, running iron carts, towering houses and colorful candlelight. The rogue’s hometown was full of unimaginable things. In the end, the chip fell into Yan Wu’s hands and the two ended their magical journey.

“Merciless woman, do you like my hometown?” Who could part with homesickness? Although he had lived in a different world for many years, Yan Wu still couldn’t forget that world. After all, his previous life had been branded in the bottom of his heart.

“If you’re going to leave, take me, okay?” Liu Ruoshui sincerely asked. Yan Wu’s heart was opened a crack.

“It’s hard to achieve.” Yan Wu gave a big sigh. What magic power could send him home?

“The Heavenly Book.” Liu Ruoshui thought of Jiang Wuyou. Maybe only the Sect Leader could help Yan Wu with this.

“Go to sleep!” Liu Ruoshui left the room and walked toward the eastern palace. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her tonight. She still felt happy even if her mouth was bitten by that man. She brushed her lips with her little hand, and noticed that the man’s warmth was still there. Seeing Liu Ruoshui leave, Yan Wu couldn’t calm down. When she put the ointment on his wound, Liu Ruoshui looked unmatched tender, just like a different person. In fact, she was essentially gentle and virtuous, but her gentleness was covered by armor. The ointment seeped into his skin, dissolving the blood clots. Yan Wu’s heart was occupied by her tenderness.

Xu Linghe had been slacked off for a month. Although Wuyou helped run the government affairs, the decision was Xu Linghe’s to make. Xu Linghe and Zhan Ming went to the military camp. Since he went to the state and county, the military affairs were managed by General Yu.

As soon as Xu Linghe and Zhan Ming got out of the carriage, they heard drills from the military camp. The female general was standing on the drill ground. She looked very imposing in her armor. Zhan Ming couldn’t help admiring her.

“General Yu is really an excellent woman. She came herself in such cold weather.” Zhan Ming was in awe of her.

“She’s really impressive.”

“Marshal… Marshal.” Some soldiers swarmed toward Xu Linghe. Suddenly, the female general gave them a blow. The soldier who was beaten was so frightened that his legs and feet trembled and he regretted his bad memory. The female general had a reputation for running the army seriously, but his behavior was a clear violation of her norms. This was because his most admired marshal had come to the military camp.

“You have lived up to your reputation for running the army strictly, General Yu.” Zhan Ming was the general commander of the Jin City. Since his outings with Xu Linghe, he had rarely been to the military camp. The female general was the only person he knew in the camp. On the way back to the Jin City, the female general was seriously injured but still as strong as a man, which made Zhan Ming have a new understanding of her.

“Marshal is waiting for you, general,” a little soldier reminded the female general, looking steadily forward.

“I know.” Madam Yu contained her momentum and flicked the dust off her armor. The soldier followed her to meet Xu Linghe. When they reached the tent, the door opened from the inside. Madam Yu was stunned for a moment, because Zhan Ming was much darker than he had been two months ago, while Zhan Ming looked at her with admiration.

“Is marshal here because there is a new war?” Madam Yu wondered. Although the soldiers were in recuperating, they never slacked at their fighting power. If there was a war, they would never be afraid.

“Although the ceasefire has been in place for months, there have been numerous border problems. Take 10,000 soldiers, patrol along the border for a few days. If you find someone disturbing people, be sure to teach them a lesson. In addition, keep the states and counties on their toes. Spring is coming. We can’t afford to lose the time of growing seedlings.”

“Yes!” said Madam Yu, holding her head high confidently.

“Commander Zhan, help General Yu. You must do a good job in this matter.” Zhan Ming took the command. Of course, he enjoyed working with Madam Yu. Then they left Xu Linghe’s tent. Madam Yu went to gather her forces. The soldiers were excited to hear that they were going to patrol the border. The sounds of gathering rang on the playground. Xu Linghe flew out of his tent. Madam Yu rode to the platform, followed by Zhan Ming. Xu Linghe got up on the platform and watched the soldiers go. The cold wind of December blew up the dust.

“When will daddy come back?” Xiao Douya kept asking his mother. Wuyou comforted him patiently. In order to see his father, Xiao Douya specially came from Kunlun, but still did not see his father.

“Douya.” Yan Wu limped over. Wuyou gaped at the sight of him. She thought Ruoshui was really cruel, because Yan Wu was black and blue. Wuyou would have been even more surprised if she had seen Yan Wu last night. Yan Wu looked funny as he narrowed his eyes due to bruises.

“Uncle Yan Wu.” To make sure it was really Yan Wu, Xiao Douya pinched him with his little hand.

“Ten for every false one.” Yan Wu mocked, making Xiao Douya giggled.

“Aunt Ruoshui.” At Xiao Douya’s cry, Yan Wu straightened up as if he were no longer lame. Liu Ruoshui stroked Xiao Douya’s chubby face, wondering why the little boy seemed to have gained a few pounds when there was a lack of food in the Jin City.

“Douya, are you hungry?” Wuyou changed the subject. Yan Wu and Liu Ruoshui were a quarrelsome and loving couple. They might start to make noise later. Wuyou was worried that they would behave in ways that were inappropriate for children. After all, her son was still a kid.

“Mom, I need to wait for daddy.” Once the child went stubborn, they could piss the adult off.

“Douya, I have a good thing.” Yan Wu took out a little gadgetry. Wuyou’s mouth twitched. This guy took out a chip to confuse others. If Xiao Douya saw the iron bird of that world, would she have to build it for him?

“Let’s go to lunch.” Wuyou picked up the boy. Xiao Douya was stubborn. He struggled to get out of Wuyou’s arms. Yan Wu felt a chill down his spine when Wuyou stared at him with a look sharp as an ice knife. Who did he mess with? He was just making the boy happy. Women in Kunlun were all shrews.

“Uncle Yan.” Xiao Douya lifted his small face, looking at him with round eyes. Looking him in the eye, who could hurt him? Yan Wu didn’t care what it took. He wouldn’t be afraid if the shrew threw the knife at him. He flicked the chip with a nimble finger and it fell into his skin. Xiao Douya was fascinated by the images in the chip, including the ferries wheel, the sea helmets, the roller coasters, and the big iron fish in deep water. Xiao Douya traveled in the world of chip. Everything was new. In addition to birds, there were also larger iron birds, with wings larger than houses. The horses on the road had four more wheels, and their butts were smoking. The boy rode a two-wheeled iron cart. Xiao Douya’s world view was upended. Everything here attracted the little boy. After a flash of white light, the chip fell into Yan Wu’s hand. The child stared at it. He could not understand how something so small could hold the big iron bird. What he had just seen felt like a dream. Wuyou knew that Xiao Douya was attracted to the dreamlike world of chip and secretly complained that Yan Wu had done something bad.

“Mom, I want to build a flying iron bird.” Wuyou’s fierce eyes swept over Yan Wu, who hid behind Liu Ruoshui. Liu Ruoshui said nothing for a moment. For the child, the temptation was irresistible, because even she yearned for the future in the chip world.

“I’ll build you a pocket iron bird tomorrow,” said Yan Wu, trying to soothe the mood.

Yan Wu just wanted to get away from Wuyou as soon as possible.

“Let’s go to lunch.” Wuyou unleashed a powerful aura that finally silenced the child. Xiao Douya followed his mother. Liu Ruoshui reached out to Yan Wu. When she saw that his face had become ghastly, she burst into laughter. She could not help feeling that she had done too much and had to reapply Yan Wu’s ointment. Yan Wu was finally comforted. Frightened by the female Sect Leader, he gasped.

“You know what happens when you annoy her?” Liu Ruoshui said sarcastically, but her movements were softer.

“Ouch.” Yan Wu was acting spoiled.

By the time Xu Linghe returned, it was past one p.m. After a few hours without seeing his father, Xiao Douya stood waiting for him at the palace gate. He kept stamping his feet tightly wrapped in a cotton-padded gown, thinking that his father had not come back for several hours.

“Douya, you’re waiting for daddy.” Xu Linghe flew to Xiao Douya. It was so cold that Xiao Douya’s limbs were cold. Xu Linghe wrapped his hands around his son’s chubby little hands. The little boy leaned against his father’s arm, the sun shining on them. Wuyou watched the scene in silence.

“Mom cooked millet porridge.” Wuyou knew Xu Linghe liked porridge. Xu Linghe took Xiao Douya through the palace gate.

The table was filled with Xu Linghe’s favorite dishes. Xu Linghe ate two bowls of porridge. Refreshing diced cucumber with sesame oil was a perfect match for porridge. Xiao Douya held the glutinous rice paste and purple sweet potato with his little hands and filled his small mouth with them.

“Daddy, I want to make a big iron bird.” Unable to get his mother’s permission, the little boy behaved in a spoiled manner.

“An iron bird?” Xu Linghe had no idea what he was talking about.

“Yan Wu shows him what’s in the chip. Then he wants to build an iron bird.”

Xu Linghe couldn’t help laughing. It was good for a child to be ambitious, but there were some things he couldn’t do. It was dark when Madam Yu arrived at the Jing Town with 10,000 elite soldiers. The Jin army found a remote place to camp. Madam Yu took advantage of the night into the city, and found a team of the Qi army in houses in the east of the city. Then she slipped into their camp and her soldiers set fire to the houses. Leng Cang rushed out. He carried out Di Qing’s orders and led his soldiers to pose as border people to disrupt the order of the Jin’s border. At his command, the Qi army took up bows and arrows and fired thousands of arrows at the Jin army. Madam Yu did not expect that it was the Qi army who was disturbing the people. It was too late for them to withdraw. Leng Cang fired the signal flare. The Black Dragon flew towards the Jing Town. The army surrounded Madam Yu.

Zhan Ming chased the dragon all the way, hoping Madam Yu wouldn’t have an accident. Di Qing took to the air and the dragon swept around with its huge tail. Madam Yu swooped down. Nagas lit the dragon silk and the fire blazed all over the sky. Madam Yu waved her wand and gave the order. The nagas came in a rush. Their tails were like thorns of steel, which mortal bodies could not bear. After several rounds, a large number of enemies were killed or wounded. Devil army turned into a demon spirit and pounced on the nagas to tear them. Devil army was born to drink blood, creatures with magic bead were their food.

The devil army blocked the way of the Jin army, and the naga army protected Madam Yu. Zhan Ming was not afraid of attacks from the devil army. As the general commander, he cared not whether he lived or died. The morale of the Jin army rose. Madam Yu set up a tactical formation to launch a forcible attack on the enemy. Zhan Ming rode into battle. Di Qing raised his hand and hit the horse’s head. The horse neighed and died. Zhan Ming jumped into the air. He swung a hammer across Di Qing’s horse leg. Di Qing sprang to his feet, clutching the rein. Zhan Ming rolled and hammered at the horse again. The horse could not withstand the heavy blow, and fell to the ground. It was a ferghana horse from the North Desert, and had been Di Qing’s horse for many years. Di Qing was so angry that he flew at Zhan Ming and kicked him. Zhan Ming was sent several meters away. Then Di Qing’s spiritual saber came to him and Zhan Ming had to roll back and forth to avoid it.

Zhan Ming protected Madam Yu. The Qi army rushed towards them. Lin Xiaosa brandished his spiritual saber and killed several people. The nagas were surrounded by devil army. Zhan Ming’s hammer swept across the enemy. The longer the battle lasted, the worse for the Jin army. Madam Yu rushed into the camp but was stopped by the devil army. The Qi army seized the opportunity to rush at Madam Yu. Numerous devils attacked Madam Yu at the same time. Zhan Ming broke away from the fight, swinging a sledgehammer at the devils. Di Qing waved his spiritual saber at Zhan Ming. Zhan Ming felt his back wet. The smell of blood was all around him. Zhan Ming endured the pain, separated the devil army and saved Madam Yu. With a neighing, the horse ran wildly. The explosion scared the soldiers away and Di Qing fled.

It was a terrible fight. A number of nagas died or hurt; Madam Yu was poisoned and was in a coma. The Jin army advanced along the way, and the Qi army was driven out of the border. Di Qing lost a lot of troops. The Qi army was defeated and scattered. The Jin army crushed Di Qing’s plot and the Qi army retreated to the northern front. The Jin army triumphed because of their stubborn resistance and captured many prisoners alive. The border was restored to calm.
