One looked into his eyes, face full of shock and bewildernt.
"Keep pretending! Go on!" Old Liu sneered, patting Yi’s face with a dagger: "I admit you have the sa appearance, voice, and elental rhythm as Yi, but you shouldn’t forget one thing — whenever Yi speaks, at least half of his sentences have a country accent, using ’’ instead of ’I’! Who the hell are you, you damn imposter?"
"How is that possible? He... he isn’t Yi?" Avril and Figo both jumped up.
"Let use the bone link." Elder Andulan took a deep breath and pulled out the bone link treasure box, dialing Yi’s coordinates.
"If you don’t speak, then be prepared to never speak again." Liu Zhenhan thrust the dagger forward, aiming at the fake Yi’s brow.
The dagger stopped at the center of a silver eye rune. A drop of purple blood seeped from the blade’s tip, sliding down with tears. The Queen of Lich coughed as she cried pitifully, overwheld by the strength of Liu Zhenhan’s grip, leaving her breathless.
"Heavens! It’s the Lich of the Demon Clan!" Elder Andulan gasped, while the ten or so hedgehog guards around him remained intoxicated by the Queen of Lich’s striking beauty.
"It’s you, Jiabao." Liu Zhenhan asked in disbelief.
"Don’t use that unfamiliar tone with , my True Martial Prince!" Jiabao covered her elegant neck, glaring at Old Liu with resentnt, her silver teeth nearly gnashing.
"The spring water you just tricked us into drinking, what exactly is it?" Avril detected a strange undertone in Queen Jiabao’s words, nervously eyeing the two [characters represented by S], her fists clenched, trembling with unease.
So despicable! So shaless!
The outpost in Filinchui is equipped with plenty of magic detection devices, as well as sharp-nosed mastiffs and butterfly sentinels with the Eyes of True Sight, yet none of these defenses could detect the Witch King’s ’Royal Extre Transformation Technique’!
Even the two elental spirit users [characters represented by S] didn’t notice that the Queen of Lich was masquerading as the fake Yi!
What on earth does she want?
Avril was already in a foul mood today; she asked three tis, yet Queen Jiabao ignored her each ti, infuriated, she yanked a dagger from Old Liu’s belt and stabbed rcilessly at the Queen on a quest for her husband spanning thousands of miles.
The Witch King’s physique is incredibly frail, and after being restrained by the monstrous Liu Zhenhan, facing the life-threatening strike from the rmaid Princess, Jiabao could only await her fate.
The Queen of Lich, with tearful eyes, stared stubbornly into Old Liu’s eyes, oblivious to the impending death.
"Who just drank her spring water?" Liu Zhenhan grasped Little Ai’s wrist, the gleaming dagger barely missing the Queen of Lich’s waist.
"I..."
"And I..."
The two blood servants timidly responded to Old Liu, realizing the danger; the Queen of Lich’s ticulous planning surely served a sinister purpose.
Faced with the possibility of death, the faces of the two elental spirit users turned pale, confronting the preciousness of life for the first ti.
"Beg , and I’ll tell you." Jiabao’s gaze softened, gently caressing Old Liu’s face.
"I don’t need to beg you; I can guess, it’s the Elental Spring of your Demon World, isn’t it? That thing called the ’Silent Yellow Spring’? The special spring that dispels all magic power!" Liu Zhenhan sneered: "In your Demon World, there are only the ’Silent Yellow Spring’ and the ’Azure Falls of the Yellow Springs’."
"As expected from the concubine I chose for my palace, clever!" Jiabao laughed daringly: "I ca to Filinchui this ti to destroy your two elental spirit users, and this task is already accomplished."
"Don’t ask why they haven’t reacted yet; our Demon World has been using this miraculous spring water to harm people for ages. Causing a little delay in the effects isn’t a problem." The Queen of Lich tenderly cradled Old Liu’s chin: "My Prince, how do you plan to deal with now?"
"Kill her, Richard!" Avril embraced the two petrified blood servants, seething with rage.
"He won’t kill !" Queen Jiabao pointed proudly to the silver eye rune on her brow, perfectly matched with the rune on Old Liu’s brow like mandarin ducks.
"Jiabao, you overestimate the standing of the elental spirit users in Filinchui." Liu Zhenhan withdrew the dagger, affectionately touching the five fingerprints on the Queen of Lich’s neck: "A piece of advice, if you want lasting peace in the Demon World, never set foot on the Aegean!"
"Is that possible?" Queen Jiabao sneered: "The Sea Clan has already landed on the Aegean, even if you withstand their invasion, what do you have left to fight our Demon Clan’s army with a ruined and scattered defense?"
"How about a bet?" Liu Zhenhan pointed outside: "If your Demon Clan loses, you follow for the rest of your life!"
"And if you lose, it’s the sa?" Jiabao retorted: "Deal?"
"No problem!"
"Looking forward to eting you again that day." Queen Jiabao, with a brilliant smile, vanished in a burst of explosive black mist.
"Did you really let her go just like that?" Elder Andulan was shocked: "She’s the Queen of Lich!"
"Should I have killed her? I have a heartfelt contract with her, I can’t bring myself to do it."
"Then what if you really lose in the future?" Avril trembled with anger: "Richard, who dares guarantee that the Aegean Continent can withstand the sweeping Sea Clan armies? Even if you could withstand it, what do you have to counter the Demon Clan’s army? Are you really planning to live happily ever after with that damn Queen of Lich and abandon ?"
"If the Aegean Continent can’t withstand the invasion of the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan, then my fate would undoubtedly be to fall on the battlefield, how could I run away to live happily ever after with her?" Old Liu answered Little Ai’s question with a peasant-like cunning.

Recently attending a Qidian writer workshop in Shanghai, classes are held on Chongming Island, no internet at the small inn, hence the slow updates.
How many words are left this month? My previous target was 200,000, wasn’t it? It shouldn’t be far off now, right?
