With a hiss, Gong Zhu took in a sharp breath.
Clap clap clap clap, Feng Xiaoli excitedly applauded until her little hands turned red.
Her Majesty is truly incredible!
Xia Bingxin’s face was a picture of shock. She found it hard to believe as she glanced at her own wound; the arrow was but inches away from her heart. If it had deviated even slightly, she might have already...
Xia Bingxin looked again at Feng Bailing, who showed no joy on her face despite the victory. Her gaze was deep and inscrutable as she looked steadily at Xia Bingxin. Could it be that she had deliberately shown rcy a mont ago, sparing her life?
This was before dical Buddha even made an appearance; it was only his disciple Feng San who had acted, and he had nearly killed her. If dical Buddha had taken action personally... As Xia Bingxin thought further, the sudden death of Soldier King Qi and the state in which those rcenaries died—according to Soldier King Qi, he didn’t even know when the poison was administered—dical Buddha killed invisibly, which was really formidable.
"Master, are you alright?"
Gong Zhu saw the changing expressions on Xia Bingxin’s face and was worried that she might explode in rage.
Although Xia Bingxin was defeated, she was the Emperor of Soldiers and the master of Soldier Inn. If at this mont she ordered the rcenaries to kill Feng Bailing and the others, he wouldn’t be able to stop it. Then, he would have no choice but to fight to the death to protect Feng Family’s mother and daughter.
"I lost. From now on, I am no longer your master."
Fortunately, Xia Bingxin was still reasonable. She dejectedly dropped the crossbow in her hand and couldn’t help but look again at the crossbow in Feng Bailing’s hand.
Xia Bingxin’s face showed fluctuating expressions; in her eyes was both admiration and fear.
Feng San’s cutting technique lacked finesse but was extrely formidable, ultimately because the crossbow arrow in her hand was very special.
Gong Zhu was sowhat regretful yet at the sa ti felt relieved. Although Xia Bingxin was powerful, to ask him to cut off all emotions and desires, he couldn’t do it.
Seeing Xia Bingxin keep her word, Feng Bailing didn’t hesitate. With a whoosh whoosh, she brandished several silver needles, pinpoint-accurately landing on Xia Bingxin’s wound.
The wound that had been gushing blood instantly stopped bleeding.
Xia Bingxin glimpsed sideways, growing even more respectful of Feng Bailing’s abilities.
She stared once more at Feng Bailing’s crossbow; she wasn’t mistaken, it was the sa one she had given to Gong Zhu earlier.
But upon closer inspection, it was sowhat different; the crossbow arrow and its tip were coated with a layer of silvery-white color. It was this thin layer of tal that had broken through her own Gang Qi.
A thirst suddenly arose from the depths of Xia Bingxin’s eyes.
If her own crossbow arrow could also be enhanced with this tal, her archery would surely ascend to a higher level.
Desiring such a crossbow arrow, Xia Bingxin gazed obsessively at the one in Feng Bailing’s hand.
Gong Zhu was anxious, fearing Xia Bingxin might attack again.
Passersby and rcenaries who witnessed this scene were abuzz with discussion, especially the rcenaries. Previously, their looks towards Feng Bailing were filled with contempt, but now they were all filled with shock.
In these rcenaries’ eyes, Xia Bingxin was the Emperor of Soldiers. Feng Bailing injuring even the Emperor of Soldiers ant her strength must be a notch above.
"Who allowed you to make noise here, scram."
Xia Bingxin rebuked, and although injured, when she cursed, her voice was still powerful. The surrounding rcenaries felt a buzzing in their ears and dared not linger, scattering like birds and beasts.
Xia Bingxin snorted coldly.
"Co inside; I have words for you alone."
Xia Bingxin glanced at Gong Zhu with annoyance, as he still looked full of concern.
"Are you afraid I’ll eat her up?"
Xia Bingxin inwardly sneered. Xia Xing, this fellow, she really misjudged him.
She thought Gong Zhu had already severed all emotions and desires, but it turned out he had not encountered soone he cared about.
"I’ll go in and talk to Senior Xia."
Feng Bailing’s seventh sense could detect that there was no killing intent from Xia Bingxin. Although Feng Bailing’s Divine Weapon was formidable, Xia Bingxin’s Cultivation was clear to see. If she really wanted to kill her...
Apart from hiding in the dical Cabin, Feng Bailing seed to have no other thod.
Feng Bailing followed Xia Bingxin into the Soldier Inn. With a wave of Xia Bingxin’s sleeve, the door of the Soldier Inn slamd shut, blocking out the clamor from outside.
"Feng San won’t be in trouble, right?"
Lady Lai’s face was full of concern.
"He won’t have any issues. If he does, I’ll curse that person." Xiao Li touched the Buddhist Alms Bowl she held in her arms.
Inside the Soldier Inn, Xia Bingxin stared at Feng Bailing and suddenly, a smile appeared on her stern face.
Feng Bailing saw that smile and wondered why it seed a bit sycophantic.
"Mr. Feng, let’s make a deal. I want your crossbow arrow."
Xia Bingxin looked benevolent and kind, a stark contrast to the aggressive deanor of the Emperor of Soldiers she had shown earlier.
Feng Bailing was not without surprise, she hadn’t expected Xia Bingxin to directly ask for a favor.
Although the chromium tal coating was rare, Feng Bailing had lted quite a bit of it. If she really wanted to forge it into Divine Weapons, she could make a batch of a few hundred pieces.
However, she did not agree imdiately. Currently, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe in Xia Bingxin, and she couldn’t afford to create trouble for herself.
She looked at Xia Bingxin with a aningful expression.
"Senior Xia, I’m afraid that won’t be possible. The Divine Crossbow is personally modified by dical Buddha and extrely precious. As you’ve seen, it’s far more powerful than the top-grade heavenly weapons on the market. If I casually give it to you, and he seeks to hold accountable, I’m afraid I will be severely punished."
Feng Bailing feigned a look of terror.
"I’m not asking to take your Divine Crossbow for free."
Xia Bingxin quickly said.
She was a well-known senior, how could she just take advantage of a junior without offering sothing in return?
At this point, Xia Bingxin completely believed in dical Buddha.
Besides dical Buddha, who else could refine a modified Divine Weapon more powerful than a top-grade heavenly weapon?
She had no doubt about his cultivation, and his dical skills – Feng San had effortlessly stopped her bleeding earlier.
If Feng San, who wasn’t even a disciple of dical Buddha, was that powerful, then the rumored Princess Consort Wu must be even more formidable.
As dismissive as Xia Bingxin was towards dical Buddha earlier, she now had that much respect for him.
"I run the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce; I’m not short of money," Feng Bailing said with a smile.
"I know you’re not short of money, so I’m not planning to give you money."
What? She wants a free ride!
The smile on Feng Bailing’s face couldn’t hold. Although she had quite a bit of money, who would think it was too much?
"Don’t misunderstand. I won’t take it for nothing. As long as you give this Divine Crossbow, I will cede my position as the Emperor of Soldiers to you, how about that?"
Xia Bingxin proposed with a smile.
The position of Emperor of Soldiers?
Feng Bailing was shocked.
"Senior, you can’t just say things like that. I wouldn’t dare to take the position of Emperor of Soldiers."
Feng Bailing waved her hands again and again, as if it were a joke.
In this lifeti, her goal was a family reunion; she did not wish to toil away her life.
The position of Emperor of Soldiers was akin to the boss of the rcenary world. Although the rcenary World wasn’t as fraught with incessant conflict as the Ten Countries, it wasn’t sothing that could be easily led.
Moreover, she was very aware of her own true strength, which was neither scholarly nor martial - how could she take up the role of Emperor of Soldiers.
