Let Me Explain, Fairy
Chapter 271 - Two Hundred and Seven: Imprisonment

Chapter 271: Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Imprisonment

The smoke-filled silence settled.

Suddenly bereft of both arms,

Nalan You, who also took a kick to the rear, lost his balance and fell to the ground, blood spurting from his arms and staining the floor red.

His eyes conveyed a trace of disbelief, his breathing trembled with pain:

"Ha.. ha.. my.. my hands... my hands... I, I will kill you all! Bastards!"

"....."

At this moment,

Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzeng, who had been pinned and beaten for a while, also came back to their senses from the change of events and walked slowly to Xu Yuan’s side, their eyes filled with bewilderment:

"Changtian, what is this...?"

Xu Yuan waved off the two of them with a smile:

"It’s fine, go find Jun Wu, I just explained everything to her."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanzeng glanced at the Tatar prince, knowing that now was not the time to elaborate:

"Okay, but you’ll have to give us a proper explanation later."

"Sure thing," Xu Yuan said with a nod and a smile.

As the two left,

Xu Yuan watched the Tatar prince.

He had a somewhat exotic appearance, with a high nose bridge, curly hair, and a goatee beard as a decorative feature on his chin.

However, at this moment, he had lost all his composure. Without his arms, he was kicking the ground to move backward, while shouting empty threats like "I will kill you" and "You’re dead meat."

After staring at him for a long while, Xu Yuan finally spoke:

"Enough, stop howling, no one else can hear you."

Upon these words, Nalan You’s movement paused, venom clear in his eyes:

"You seem to come from a powerful family, but you really shouldn’t have touched me at such a critical time."

With that, he grinned a cruel smile, his eyes fierce:

"I was personally invited by your Emperor. For such actions against me, he will certainly demand an explanation!"

"What explanation?"

Xu Yuan arched an eyebrow, still standing in place without moving, and let out a low, nonchalant chuckle:

"Okay, okay, stop trying to provoke me with that nonsense, I won’t come closer, so don’t even think about ambushing me."

"....." Nalan You.

After a moment of silence,

Nalan You directed his qi to staunch the flow of blood from his arms and slowly propped himself up from the ground, squinting at the young man in ornate robes across from him:

"Who are you?"

Xu Yuan looked at the suddenly calm Nalan You and sighed inwardly, thinking that it must be so.

If they needed to discuss national affairs, the Great Desert wouldn’t send a useless person.

Moreover,

although he was not familiar with the cultivation practices of the Great Desert, the Saint’s Remnant Soul knew some.

Old Man Luo pursued immortality, having studied almost every cultivation practice in the world.

In battle, an injury like having one’s arms cut off would be fatal for cultivators below Second Grade, but it seemed not to be the case with the Great Desert.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Xu Yuan saw,

after the muscles in Nalan You’s chest undulated, a "gurgle" sound followed, and two new arms grew out from his shoulders.

Nalan You’s demeanor was once again nonchalant:

"I don’t remember seeing someone like you among the younger generation in the Imperial Capital."

"....."

Witnessing this eerie scene, Xu Yuan ignored the prince’s remark and instead asked inwardly:

"Old Man Luo, is the Great Desert’s technique for regenerating limbs this effortless? It’s not related to the specters, is it?"

Such ability seemed quite unbeatable.

Old Man Luo sneered:

"How could that be? Their limb regeneration is related to some special blood derived from an unknown source. Specters can live even if you chop off their heads, you could try decapitating him and see."

Xu Yuan was somewhat interested:

"I see, so this is the so-called divine beast blood of the Great Desert?"

Old Man Luo was also somewhat uncertain:

"Back when the specters invaded, I went to the royal court of the Great Desert to try and steal a divine beast, but didn’t even find a single hair. I suspect that this ’divine beast blood’ might be a blood-like potion they concocted using some special materials and methods."

Xu Yuan retorted:

"With a crisis looming, you sure didn’t act your age."

The Saint’s Remnant Soul’s voice was indifferent:

"You little brat know nothing, it’s just a pity I couldn’t find their formula for the divine beast blood of the Great Desert."

Xu Yuan didn’t respond but found it somewhat amusing.

Divine beasts did exist in the Great Desert, called Qilin Wolves.

In Cang Yuan, they were introduced as the ultimate bosses in one instance.

Thinking on, Xu Yuan glanced at the Tatar prince, his gaze revealing a hint of contemplation.

If the storyline hadn’t affected the Great Desert, a Goddess would now appear there, strongly fused with the divine beast.

One of the main heroines of Cang Yuan.

And this was one of the major reasons the Great Desert dared to invade the Central Plains.

"......"

Seeing Xu Yuan eyeing his newly regrown arms, Nalan You calmly clenched his fists and spoke softly:

"The environment of the Great Desert is extremely harsh; us Tartar People have to train our bodies from a young age in order to survive...."

"Did I ask you?"

"...." Nalan You.

Xu Yuan exhaled and, sword in hand, slowly stepped forward:

"Although I’m unclear why you deliberately caused trouble in the Imperial Capital, since you’ve irritated me, you’re out of luck."

"Now you have two choices, you bastard. First, kneel down and apologize to me.

"As for the second..... I’m curious to see if your trained body can grow back a head once it’s chopped off."

As Xu Yuan moved, the sleeves of his robe fluttered without a breeze.

"......"

Nalan You stared at Xu Yuan, backing away while a fighting spirit gradually filled his eyes:
