Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 306 - 304: Chen Hongyu Reasons, Xiao Qingxue’s Worries

Chapter 306: Chapter 304: Chen Hongyu Reasons, Xiao Qingxue’s Worries

Chen Hongyu shrugged his shoulders: "So you’re trying to claim credit for your achievements with the Emperor’s Son, huh?"

"Your aggressive attitude just now sure seemed like you were trying to get credit."

"But in those battles, how much of it was really your own contribution?"

"Great Chu, the Emperor’s Son conquered it, and Chu Yue contributed quite a bit."

"Crossing the Northeast Sea was the Emperor’s Son’s idea."

"In Celestial Wind Empire, the Emperor’s Son took it, with Feng Yu surrendering publicly."

"In Great Li, the Emperor’s Son personally cleansed everyone in the Imperial Capital, with only five thousand elite soldiers at his side, while we were supporting the granaries in Celestial Wind Province."

"Beiman had a minor incident, which is something the three of us, including the Emperor’s Son, are troubled by."

"When the Emperor’s Son went to sea, we and the soldiers lacked faith, believed the rumors, and suspected that something happened to the Emperor’s Son at sea."

"But ultimately it was the Emperor’s Son who turned the tide of the battle after returning, which is a blemish we both want to erase."

Gu Sha pursed his lips: "The Emperor’s Son, as the commander of the army, shouldn’t have left the battlefield at that time."

Chen Hongyu’s fingertips itched a bit, and he really wanted to punch this fool again.

"If the Emperor’s Son hadn’t gone to sea, where would the Spirit Light Flying Boat have come from?"

"Do you think those treasures fall from the sky directly into the Emperor’s Son’s hands?"

Gu Sha opened his mouth, unable to deny the importance of the Spirit Light Flying Boat, but reluctant to admit his mistake.

Chen Hongyu continued: "The rest is the Emperor’s Son leading us to take Li Huo Empire."

Gu Sha’s only independent achievement was defending Li Huo Empire, but that’s at best making up for his mistakes.

Gu Sha thought for a long time, finally muttering: "I also helped quite a bit in the last two empires, why does the Emperor’s Son want me to go back?"

Chen Hongyu patted his shoulder: "Because you’re unstable, your earlier suggestions were nonsense, the lives of ordinary soldiers aren’t lives?"

"If the Emperor’s Son wanted to achieve a goal, using you as bait, with no chance of survival, would you be willing?"

Gu Sha originally wanted to say he was willing, but when the words reached his mouth, he didn’t look so good and couldn’t bring himself to say it. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He just muttered: "That’s different."

Chen Hongyu chuckled: "What’s different, you’re someone’s child, they’re also someone’s child."

After saying this, he clearly didn’t want to continue communicating with Gu Sha, but Gu Sha desperately grabbed his sleeve.

"Don’t go... could you, could you plead with the Emperor’s Son for me? I don’t want to go back."

Chen Hongyu looked surprised: "Why do you think I have the ability to influence the Emperor’s Son?"

"Moreover, the Emperor’s Son valued you because of your loyalty, most importantly, your obedience."

"Now you lack both; if I were you, I’d take the opportunity to go back to Great Xia and reflect while the Emperor’s Son is still willing to show some leniency."

After finishing his words, he left, leaving Gu Sha standing there with a hint of grievance.

Xia Feng wasn’t surprised by the outside events, just felt sorry for those soldiers who wholeheartedly trusted Gu Sha, only to end up like this.

He sighed softly, concentrating on how to deal with the Death Empire and Demon Empire.

After thinking for a long time without reaching any conclusion, he decided to enter the Dream Realm Pearl to walk under the stars and consider the matters of those two empires.

Just as he entered the Dream Realm Pearl, he tried communicating with the ladies, and Xiao Qingxue came in.

Xia Feng was a bit surprised; it was daytime, and he just communicated habitually, but it seemed Xiao Qingxue was intentionally waiting for him.

Seeing Xiao Qingxue’s obvious worry and even a hint of panic, Xia Feng held her with confusion.

"What’s wrong? Thinking of me so much?"

Xiao Qingxue anxiously spoke: "Do you remember the Netherworld I told you about before?"

Xia Feng nodded, not only Xiao Qingxue but the other ladies had also vaguely mentioned the Divine Domain being troubled by the Netherworld.

However, Xiao Qingxue’s mother is Life Divine King, who seems to restrain the opponent, thus fighting on the front line.

"Why did you suddenly bring up the Netherworld?"

Xiao Qingxue spoke with worry: "The ruler of the Death Empire seems to be a small pawn escaping from the Netherworld."

"Also, there’s the shadow of the Demon Realm behind the Demon Empire."

"I wanted to remind you last time, but it happened to be your birthday, so I didn’t want to bring up such unpleasant topics."

"But you must be careful; the Netherworld and Demon Realm don’t know for what reason, leaving space wormholes everywhere, and I’m afraid you’ll suffer loss."

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the oppressive feeling he encountered when scouting the Death Imperial Capital.

It certainly wasn’t something a typical Martial God could give him.

His face showed a relaxed smile: "Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile; there’s always a way to solve it."

Pausing, he went on to ask: "What kind of existence are the Netherworld and Demon Realm?"

Xiao Qingxue hesitated, not knowing how to describe it.

"Some creatures inside are human, while others aren’t even human. They have a unified term, Demon and Death God."

"It’s said that a Tier One Death God can easily kill a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial God, though it’s unclear if that rumor is true."

Xia Feng’s smile faded slightly as he pondered whether the one in the Death Empire was really a Death God.

Next, Xiao Qingxue said: "But usually Death Gods and Demons can’t cross space wormholes to the Lower Realm."

"Even coming to the Divine Domain is quite difficult, but I’m worried the Death God or Demon might grant some abilities to those two rulers."

"After all, those two rulers, who may not even be human, have always controlled the empires."

Xia Feng recalled the inexplicable self-destruction of soldiers from two nations, feeling some concern in his heart, but didn’t show it in front of Xiao Qingxue.

"Alright, trust me a little, okay?"

Despite the worry in her eyes from the intelligence her attendant Qi Anna had investigated, Xiao Qingxue glanced at Xia Feng.

At first, Qi Anna was reluctant to listen for news from the Lower Realm, but gradually became a confidant in Xiao Qingxue’s faction.

Xia Feng’s hand wrapped around Xiao Qingxue’s waist: "I’ll prepare seriously, don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen."

Although Xiao Qingxue’s expression showed lingering worry, Xia Feng’s hand, awkwardly placed, made her feel a bit uneasy.

She subtly squirmed closer to Xia Feng in his arms, getting even closer.

"Okay, I believe you, but make sure you pay attention to safety, alright? We’re all waiting for you."

Thinking of the ladies, Xia Feng felt a touch of emotion, gently kissing her hair.

"Alright, even for your sakes, I’ll be cautious and extra cautious."
