"Alright! Since you're done asking, it's my turn!"
Zi Lingling's gaze turned cold as she fixed it on Zi Zhaocai and said, "Zhaocai dog, if I ask you something, you'd better answer honestly, or I don't mind prying out your dog teeth, cutting out your dog tongue, scooping out your dog guts, and castrating your dog..."
"Lin'er, you're interested in a dog's private parts? Are you reminding me that I've been neglecting you?"
Zi Lingling was in the middle of her threats when her voice was interrupted.
And who else could the owner of this voice be but the Underworld King, Ye Lingyuan?
Zi Lingling stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself, "How could I forget this jealous king!"
Zi Zhaocai instantly regained his senses.
His pupils contracted sharply, his eyes filled with terror.
"This man is too terrifying!"
This was the only thought left in Zi Zhaocai's mind.
Because Ye Lingyuan's appearance was too abrupt; one moment he wasn't there, and the next he was standing right there.
The moment he appeared, someone had already replaced Zi Lingling in her seat.
And Zi Lingling was held tightly in Ye Lingyuan's embrace.
In other words, Ye Lingyuan was now between Zi Lingling and the chair.
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, the two sat together in a very intimate pose.
"Lin'er, I think it's better to sit by your side, so you won't be interested in the parts of dogs or cats!"
Ye Lingyuan seemed to be speaking to Zi Lingling, but Zi Zhaocai felt a chill run down his spine.
And who knew that the reason he felt a chill was merely a casual glare from Ye Lingyuan.
"Who is this man? Why is there no spiritual fluctuation from him?"
Zi Zhaocai was extremely shocked, even more so than when he was restrained by Zi Lingling.
Despite the tempest raging in his heart, Zi Lingling and Ye Lingyuan didn't spare him another glance, continuing their own conversation.
"You're overthinking it! This dog is a bit disobedient, I was just disciplining him." Zi Lingling said with a roll of her eyes.
Ye Lingyuan said indifferently, "Since he's disobedient, there's no use keeping him. Might as well kill him and be done with it!"
As he spoke, his killing intent surged.
And Zi Zhaocai tragically discovered that he had been locked onto by that killing intent.
Zi Lingling quickly said, "Don't rush! I still have some questions."
Ye Lingyuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Why not just perform a soul search?"
Soul search?
Hearing these two words, Zi Zhaocai couldn't help but shiver.
It was said that with a soul search, the victim would turn into an idiot nine times out of ten.
He had finally reached the peak of the Saint King realm, and should be in a position to look down on everyone. How could he become an idiot?
But Zi Zhaocai had a feeling that if Ye Lingyuan really decided to soul search him, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he died.
Zi Lingling said with annoyance, "If he becomes an idiot, who will go to the Azure Dragon Empire to deliver a message to the Zi family?"
"Deliver a message? Lin'er, you're getting dumber!"
Ye Lingyuan dotingly pointed at her forehead and smiled. Su Dan Novel Network
"How so?" Zi Lingling asked in surprise.
Ye Lingyuan shook his head, not saying a word. Instead, he pointed his hand towards Zi Zhaocai. The power of法则 (law/principle) surged from his palm, and Zi Zhaocai was swiftly pulled towards him.
He casually grabbed Zi Zhaocai by the neck, and his vast divine sense plunged into Zi Zhaocai's mind.
Zi Zhaocai clearly felt his memories being rapidly read, which terrified him to the point his soul became unstable.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyuan's soul searching technique, while appearing domineering, was skillful and did not damage his brain.
Of course, this was also because of what Zi Lingling had said earlier; otherwise, ten of him would have been reduced to scattered souls.
A moment later, Ye Lingyuan's expression turned grim.
"Hmph! You're seeking death!"
He roared in anger, and the power of法则 surged from his palm. Zi Zhaocai's bones turned to dust, and a pool of bloody pulp fell to the ground.
A cold aura rapidly rose from Zi Lingling, but it was not directed at Ye Lingyuan, but at the pulp on the ground.
She knew Ye Lingyuan too well.
The fact that Ye Lingyuan was so enraged meant that the Zhaocai dog had crossed Ye Lingyuan's bottom line.
"Ye Lingyuan, what did you see?"
Her voice was like the ice of winter, devoid of any warmth.
"Lin'er, it seems we need to make a trip to the Azure Dragon Empire!" Ye Lingyuan sighed.
"Okay! We'll leave now!" Zi Lingling replied readily without even asking why.
She trusted Ye Lingyuan. Since Ye Lingyuan had made such a decision, it meant that this trip to the Azure Dragon Empire was unavoidable.
"Mmm! Get ready, we'll depart in half an hour!"
After Ye Lingyuan finished speaking, he instantly vanished from his spot.
He needed to prepare some things, and Zi Lingling also needed to handle the immediate situation.
Watching Ye Lingyuan disappear, Zi Lingling felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
"King Mercenaries, it's your turn to play, are you afraid?"
"Not afraid!"
"Not afraid!"
"Not afraid!"
Three shouts echoed through the heavens.
"Good!"
Zi Lingling flickered, and when she returned, she was holding a person – the good-for-nothing General Zhao Wenlong.
She announced loudly, "In that case, I will use this man's head to usher in the most glorious chapter for you!"
A flash of light gleamed in Zi Lingling's hand, which was a gleaming scalpel.
With a scream, Zhao Wenlong's head was severed!
Zi Lingling tossed the head away and shouted, "King Mercenaries, the enemy camp is ahead, what are you going to do?"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Instantly, killing intent soared.
"Good! I'll deal with the Saint King realm experts, and the rest will be up to you!"
As Zi Lingling's voice fell, she had already appeared within the Jin Xia Kingdom's formation.
She didn't attack the other soldiers, but instead spread her divine sense, searching for the Saint King realm experts in the military camp.
She refused to believe that the Zi family of the empire had only sent one Saint King realm peak expert in the form of the Zhaocai dog.
The members of the King Mercenaries, like howling wolves entering a flock of sheep, slaughtered as if chopping vegetables.
The Jin Xia Kingdom's soldiers were instantly mowed down in large numbers.
Of course, this wasn't to say the Jin Xia Kingdom's soldiers were too weak, but rather that Zi Lingling had utilized the timing, terrain, and human factors to their fullest.
The "timing" referred to the fact that Zhao Wenlong and the Zhaocai dog had not transmitted any military intelligence to others when they left the camp, leaving the Jin Xia Kingdom completely unprepared and caught off guard.
The "terrain" referred to the current battlefield, which was the Jin Xia Kingdom's military camp. Due to the large number of soldiers in the camp, they were somewhat hindered and unable to maneuver effectively.
This was akin to thousands of tigers surrounding hundreds of lions. The sheer number of tigers caused them to become too crowded, hindering the tigers behind them. This, in turn, reduced the pressure on the hundreds of lions, allowing them to be slowly gnawed away by the tigers.
