Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 391: Chapter 271: Shattered Mirror_2

Xu Yuan gave a slight smile, opened his mouth to speak.

Li Qingyan raised a finger, placing it against Xu Yuan’s lips half-jokingly,

"That’s enough, time is short. If you have anything to say to me, there’s no need to rush at this moment. In the next life, we’ll have plenty of opportunities."

The words fell, and the cave fell silent.

"Hum——"

The crimson blade in Li Qingyan’s hand suddenly hummed, and the entire pitch-black cave was brightly illuminated by the flames on it, her voice indifferent,

"Barbarian King, you are a clever man. There’s much I shouldn’t need to explain to you."

"........"

After a moment of silence,

the towering hulk of a man silently stood up, his massive and muscular body making the cave instantly feel cramped and crowded.

Stepping forward,

the Barbarian Strange King let out a slow breath. His unique physiology meant no mist formed from his breath, and he spoke in the harsh, guttural Dayan language,

"Wu Yuan, I thought our next meeting would be on the battlefield in a few days, but it seems Dayan’s internal strife has reached a do-or-die situation."

"....."

Li Qingyan didn’t respond, only stared at the Barbarian King, calmly pointing the tip of the blade towards the direction of the cave entrance.

The Barbarian Strange King’s dark and fearsome face seemed to smile for an instant, shook his head, and then steadily walked out of the cave.

Li Qingyan followed at a slow pace, while casting a glance at Nan Jinxi, who was preparing to conjure an avatar of Snow Spirit and flee.

The scantily clad Nan Jinxi huffed softly at the sight and obediently followed behind the Barbarian King.

The cave was left with only footsteps and the howling wind.

Pausing at the mouth of the cave,

Gazing out into the vast expanse of swirling snow, innumerable pale blue eyes had already gathered, like evil spirits from hell descending upon the wilderness.

The royal camps of the Barbarian Tribes had assembled, and some Barbarian god totems exuding heart-throbbing power had been raised among the soldiers.

The towering figure stood at the entrance to the cave; the Barbarian Strange King glanced back at Li Qingyan and then at the unfamiliar human male beside her, his baritone voice mixing a laugh with a sigh,

"Wu Yuan, to forgo our promised duel for the sake of such a male’s survival truly disappoints me."

Li Qingyan, holding the blade against the expansive back of the Barbarian Strange King, her dual red pupils void of any emotion,

"Barbarian King, overestimating oneself is not a good habit. Even if I let you live, the Barbarian Tribes cannot escape inevitable defeat."

The Barbarian Strange King fell silent for a while and, looking at his people, laughed,

"A true ruler defies the heavens, goes against the great current. Should I fail, I shall have no regrets."

As their conversation ended,

Xu Yuan felt a gentle surge of Origin Qi envelop him, lifting him into the sky along with the other three.

The wind and snow in the high skies were cutting, biting at one’s face.

And at that moment,

Xu Yuan suddenly spoke up,

"Li Qingyan, are you planning to throw me out using the last of the military array’s power?"

Li Qingyan’s answer was succinct and clear,

"Yes."

Xu Yuan shook his head,

"Listen to me, we won’t die."

Li Qingyan, upon hearing this, her twin red pupils appearing somewhat helpless,

"Does it help to say that now?"

"No, from now on, listen to me, neither of us will die."

"....."

Li Qingyan’s gaze became a bit strange, then she laughed, "Prince Consort, have you changed your mind? Do you wish to die alongside me?"

"......" Xu Yuan.

He felt like cursing again.

What was she thinking at a time like this, that wastrel woman, was she really about to let them both meet their end here?

However, in the next instant,

Li Qingyan’s sigh-like voice reached his ears,

"Since the Prince Consort has said so, I will listen to you this time. But you’d better hurry, the military array’s power within me will soon be insufficient to kill the Barbarian King, and he will take direct action."

Xu Yuan’s eyes slightly hardened, and without hesitation, he immediately said,

"That mirror."

"What?"

Li Qingyan’s brows furrowed slightly, "There’s no time. Even how wounded the Barbarian Strange King is, he’s still a Semi-Saint. Even if I kill this vixen...."

"I mean, your next slash, aim for the mirror in this vixen’s hand."

"......."

Li Qingyan was silent for a moment, inhaling deeply before asking,

"Are you sure?"

"When I finish counting down, you strike."

"What count down?"

"....."

Xu Yuan said nothing more, turning instead to the towering Barbarian Strange King,

"Hey, Barbarian King, how about we make another deal?"

"......."

The Barbarian Strange King’s pupils constricted, his gaze filled with surprise as he looked at Xu Yuan,

"Another?"

Xu Yuan’s narrow eyes gleamed with a strange light, a light laugh escaping him,

"Heh, have you already forgotten those three hundred thousand elite troops from the Sects?"

"Ho...."

The lips of the Barbarian Strange King, covered with keratin, split into a smirk, a hidden murderous intent flickering in his pale blue eyes, "It seems Wu Yuan has a reason for trading your life. A high-ranking member of the Prime Minister’s Mansion... Human, are you the third son of Dayan’s Prime Minister?"

After a pause,

The Barbarian Strange King seemed amused at the chance to delay time, murmuring, "Speak, what do you propose to trade with me this time."

"Help me kill her before I escape," Xu Yuan pointed at the scantily dressed vixen, "This Demon Race is depleted of Origin Qi, for a Semi-Saint such as yourself, even without relying on the totem below, killing her should be a piece of cake."

"......" Nan Jinxi opened her mouth.

The Barbarian Strange King flashed briefly, then immediately replied,

"That wouldn’t be difficult, but what do you intend to use...."

"If you won’t do it, I’ll have Wu Yuan behead you."

"......"

Facing the threat of death, the Barbarian Strange King’s gaze was remarkably calm, even interestedly replying,

"If you have me beheaded, both of you will die here."
