Chapter 482: Chapter 317: The Barbarian King Approaches_3

Bai Jiaqi snapped back to reality, looking at the other’s scruffy beard and smiling face, she composed herself, also climbed aboard the cart, and while lending a hand, she couldn’t help but laugh and curse:

"Damn it, why the hell should I treat you, kid, to a drink if I survive this?"

"Your toothpick stirring the big vat affair..."

"...I...I’ll spot you two."

"Hahahaha....."

...

...

...

Atop the city wall, below the gatehouse.

Leaning against a stone pillar, Xu Yuan watched the enchanting silhouette in red not far away.

Her profile was flawless, her body clad in tight-fitting red armor, radiating both cold beauty and a forbidding air.

Just as Li Qingyan had said in the Underground Palace, a qualified commander merely standing there could turn the unease in people’s hearts into trust.

When she asked him to "borrow" some Vigor Energy Pills, Xu Yuan had been worried that the dosage was too much for the soldiers below, which might cause panic.

After all, four Vigor Energy Pills were a fatal dose for ordinary soldiers of the Sixth or Seventh Grade.

But instead of panicking, the morale of the soldiers below had grown even stronger.

"......"

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan’s gaze unconsciously drifted down to her hips, encased in armor.

With a slight curve of his lips and a lowered gaze, Xu Yuan sneaked another glance at the tip of his long middle finger with lingering fondness.

That Wrapped Chest Princess was really vicious, he thought. He had merely teased her through her clothes and she’d retaliated by stabbing him with a knife, but that touch at the tip of his finger...

"Changtian...."

A cool voice pulled Xu Yuan back from his reverie, and as he looked up, he saw Li Qingyan gazing at him calmly, her eyes flickering with a faint light:

"You...what are you looking at?"

Xu Yuan heard her and replied unconcerned, with a chuckle, "What’s the matter, Prince Wu Yuan is so domineering that I can’t even look at my own hand now?"

Li Qingyan took a deep breath, her chest unmoving, and said:

"You...better be just looking at your hand."

Xu Yuan let out a laugh, then pointed southwest and teased:

"With the battle imminent, how come our Qingyan is suddenly preoccupied with such sentimental concerns?"

Li Qingyan turned her gaze away, no longer engaging with the scoundrel, and said in a stern voice:

"Time it right, the Barbarian King should be arriving soon."

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded his head slightly, more seriously:

"Don’t worry, I’ll strive to create an opportunity for attack for you."

Li Qingyan whispered:

"That’s not what this princess meant..."

"What?" Xu Yuan asked with a slight hint of confusion.

Li Qingyan glanced at the red armor on her body and said in a low voice:

"You...let Luo stay close to you, I don’t need him."

Xu Yuan’s eyes showed a little surprise, then he seemed to understand something and chuckled:

"What, are you worried about me?"

Li Qingyan gave him a glance:

"If you die, wouldn’t that just let my second brother succeed? After I return, I’ll still have to settle the score with him."

"..."

This answer left Xu Yuan somewhat disappointed, yet somewhat helpless.

However, after a brief pause, Li Qingyan’s voice came again, slightly softer:

"And... if you really die, this princess might actually be sad."

At those words, Xu Yuan looked up, straightened up, and walked toward Li Qingyan:

"Qingyan...."

"Don’t come any closer!"

Li Qingyan frowned, her voice sharp.

The recent events made her wary of letting this deadbeat get close again.

Not to mention,

Now was different from before; below the city wall, tens of thousands of soldiers were watching her as their commander.

"..."

Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered, he took a step, and his figure instantly moved to her side.

Li Qingyan’s gaze snapped to alert.

Unexpectedly,

The deadbeat didn’t make any moves on her but just calmly looked towards the southwest.

Li Qingyan followed his gaze.

Where she looked, a vast expanse of dark sky stretched out before her.

But she could sense a disturbance in the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, like a primordial behemoth lurking on the horizon in the distance!

Someone was racing towards the Barbarian Tribe Holy City.

Seeing this, Li Qingyan turned her gaze back, about to speak.

"Snap."

"....." Li Qingyan.

Xu Yuan lifted his hand and slapped Li Qingyan’s pert backside, giving it a gentle squeeze, and with narrowed eyes, he smiled and said:

"Look, the Barbarian King isn’t even bothering to conceal his presence. Since he’s so confident, let’s see if your husband can prepare a big surprise for him."

With that said,

Xu Yuan rose into the air amidst Li Qingyan’s complex look, which was a mix of a desire to kill and mild concern.

Since time was on his side, he might as well show the Barbarian King what a true mage was all about!

Standing in the pitch-black void, Xu Yuan’s aura escalated layer by layer, a rich, ink-like darkness rapidly spreading from him as its
