Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi looked up and saw a one-eyed man glaring at her viciously. She said calmly, “Oh, it’s General Gao. What? You still haven’t learned your lesson after I blinded one of your eyes? You dare to lead your troops to provoke me again?”

Gao Feng was a general under Nan Xun. In the past, when Nan Yue went to war with other countries, Gao Feng had made many contributions. However, when he came to Xinan, he was blinded in one eye by Yu Yunxi, suffering serious injuries. This was a humiliation to him. As such now that Nanyue was attacking Tianxia’s Xinan, he personally led the troops here to take Yu Yunxi’s head to wash away his humiliation.

Gao Feng scoffed and said through gritted teeth, “Yu Yunxi, you’re too arrogant. Back then, I underestimated you so you succeeded. This time, you won’t be so lucky!”

Then, Gao Feng turned around and shouted to someone behind him, “Bring them out.”

Soon after, a few commoners, who were tied up, were dragged to the front and thrown to the ground.

“Yu Yunxi, Shen Hezhi, the two of you siblings cherish the people of Xinan the most, right? What would happen if they died in front of you today?” Gao Feng said with a sinister smile before he drew his sword and beheaded a ten-year-old child in one swift motion.

“You…”

Yu Yunxi did not expect Gao Feng to be so ruthless. After all, the other party was just a child. Her eyes shone with killing intent and hostility as she looked at Gao Feng.

At the same time, the child’s parents who were at the side burst into tears immediately.

“My son! My son!”

“Whom should I kill next?” Gao Feng said nonchalantly as he brandished his sword at the child’s parents as though he was toying with his prey.

“Gao Feng, you should come at me directly if you’re dissatisfied. What kind of man are you to hurt a defenseless child?” Yu Yunxi asked angrily as she gripped the reins tightly.

Gao Feng was not ashamed at all when he heard these words. Instead, he said proudly, “Being shameless and despicable is also an ability. Now that I have hostages in my hands, I have the advantage. If you want them to live, drop your sword and come here alone.”

Gao Feng was clearly provoking Yu Yunxi.

“Yunxi, don’t be fooled by him!” Shen Hezhi reminded her. He knew that Gao Feng must have set up a trap, waiting for Yu Yunxi to walk into it.

At this moment, the mother of the child suddenly shouted, “County Princess, don’t come over!”

She cried as she begged, “Our lives aren’t worth anything. We’re not worthy of you bowing down to these beasts! Your life and the lives of the soldiers are more important. All of you can protect Xinan! Don’t lower your head for us,

please…”

The reins cut into Yu Yunxi’s hands as she further tightened her grip on them. However, she did not seem to feel the pain. In comparison to the pain and anger in her heart, it was nothing.

“B*tch, how dare you spout nonsense in front of me!”

Gao Feng was naturally furious that his dignity had been challenged. He raised his sword, aiming it at the woman’s neck.

Yu Yunxi took the bow from the soldier next to her and aimed the arrow at Gao Feng.

“Attack!” Shen Hezhi ordered coldly.

The soldiers of Xinan had been seething with anger for a long time due to Gao Feng’s actions, and their morale was high. Now that Shen Hezhi had given the order, they finally had an outlet to vent their emotions.

The two armies began to fight immediately.

When Yu Yunxi released the arrow, Gao Feng quickly dodged. With this, the woman managed to keep her life.

“Save them!” Yu Yunxi shouted.

The soldiers and Yu Yunxi had a tacit understanding. Some of them coordinated with each other and made their way toward the hostages.

At the same time, Yu Yunxi drew her sword and fought with Gao Feng. When the other party brought his sword down, she frowned slightly when she felt the pain between her thumb and index finger. Gao Feng’s martial arts seemed to be much more powerful than before.

“Yu Yunxi, it’s been two years, but you haven’t improved at all! Today, I’ll definitely take your head!” Gao Feng bellowed before he attacked again.

Each of Gao Feng’s attacks was aimed at a vital point, and they were swift and ruthless.

However, Yu Yunxi was rather good at dodging as well. She made use of her slender and petite figure as she dodged the attacks.

“Yu Yunxi, if you have the guts, then meet my attacks head-on! What’s the point of dodging?”

After many rounds, Gao Feng began to grow angry and impatient.

Yu Yunxi ignored Gao Feng. At this moment, she sat on the horse’s back and saw one of Nanyue’s soldiers making a move at the woman, and she panicked. She turned to the side and threw her sword out.

The sword pierced the soldier’s body, and he fell to the ground.

Once again, the woman’s life was saved, but she was very flustered. She pointed behind Yu Yunxi and shouted, “County Princess, behind… behind you!”

While Yu Yunxi was saving the woman, Gao Feng had snuck to the back, intending to launch a sneak attack.

Gao Feng raised the sword as he thought to himself disdainfully, ‘Ha! It’s only been two years, but Yu Yunxi, who was once a brave and good general, has become so stupid! However, it’s not surprising. How capable can a woman be? She’s destined to fail!’

She’s destined to fail!’

However, just as Gao Feng’s attack was about to land, Yu Yunxi suddenly dodged to the side. At the same time, dozens of silver needles flew out from her sleeve.

Gao Feng tried to dodge, but it was too late because the distance was too close. He managed to turn his body slightly, but a few of the silver needles pierced his shoulder, and one of them even pierced his only intact eye. He fell to the ground in pain, covering his eye. Blood flowed out quickly from between his fingers.

Gao Feng’s trusted aide quickly rushed over to help Gao Feng who could no longer see.

“General, are you alright?!”

Gao Feng was enraged. He roared, “Yu Yunxi, you b*tch! You actually attacked me with hidden weapons!”

“All’s fair in war. If you can be despicable, why can’t I?” Yu Yunxi said coldly as she held the bow and arrow that a soldier had handed her. She shot at Gao Feng mercilessly after she finished speaking.

Unfortunately, Gao Feng was now protected by his trusted aide. It was not easy to injure him now.

Yu Yunxi scoffed. ‘He actually survived..

“Yunxi, they’ve been saved. Stop fighting,” Shen Hezhi said at this moment. Yu Yunxi looked up and discovered that the hostages had been saved.

‘Everyone has been saved, except for that child…’ Yu Yunxi sighed inwardly before she quickly nodded.

“Retreat!”

The thousands of soldiers from Xinan retreated without any casualties.

Qian Ji and the others had already opened the gates, and everyone retreated back to the city in an orderly manner.

Gao Feng wanted to order his men to chase after them. However, the pain in his eye was so bad that he could not even straighten his back. He could only shout unwillingly, “Retreat!”

At the same time, Gao Feng vowed inwardly, “Yu Yunxi, I’ll definitely kill you!’

After returning to the city, Yu Yunxi wiped the sweat off her forehead. Fear still lingered in her heart at this moment. Earlier, she had been betting that Gao Feng would be overconfident. Fortunately, the bet paid off.

Shen Hezhi had seen what Yu Yunxi had done earlier. He walked over and said seriously, “In the future, you’re not allowed to put yourself in danger again.”

Yu Yunxi knew her actions were too risky earlier. She quickly nodded and said, “I understand, Brother. I won’t dare to do this again in the future. However, my silver needles were very vicious. There’s no doubt that Gao Feng is now truly blind. I don’t think Nanyue will allow him to step foot on the battlefield again.”

“Now that you’ve blinded Gao Feng, Nanyue will view you as a thorn in their side. You must be careful,” Shen Hezhi said worriedly with a frown on his face.

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze and said in a complicated tone, “I’ll protect myself. However, even if I didn’t do that earlier, they’ll still view me… us as a threat. We can only be truly victorious by completely destroying their troops…”

Shen Hezhi lowered his gaze slightly as well, and his expression was complicated.

‘Would I be able to see the day when Xinan emerges victorious?’

At this moment, Qian Qing rushed over to Yu Yunxi’s side and asked worriedly,

“County Princess, are you okay?”

Qian Qing had seen what happened from the city tower earlier. It was simply too nerve-wracking.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod, “Let’s settle down the citizens first.

“Yes, County Princess,” Qian Qing said solemnly, “County Princess, Qian Jiao received a letter. Something has happened.”

‘What happened?’

Yu Yunxi’s eyelids twitched. Her expression turned grave immediately.

At this moment, Qian Jiao hurried over with a letter. She said anxiously,

“County Princess, our remaining rations have been intercepted!”

‘What?’

“Who did it?”

Qian Jiao replied through gritted teeth, “The Prince Regent.”
