Chapter 1595: Chapter 1417: Stormy Night in Jianghu

"Yes," Yun Xiao said.

Xia Dabao suddenly plopped down in the boat, "So, what you’re saying is that even if I die one day, it’s a sacrifice for your Southern Zhao Country."

"But do you want to die?" Yun Xiao asked?

Of course, she didn’t.

Yun Xiao looked at Xia Dabao: "I don’t need you to play the saint, this is Southern Zhao Country’s affair. No matter how many die, it’s none of your concern."

"So that’s why you did everything possible to stop me from coming out, from donating blood again, right?" Xia Dabao suddenly felt very moved.

"You clearly have nothing to do with this place, you could’ve just lived your simple life peacefully. Of course, at first, I didn’t think this way, but later... after spending more time with you, I just..." Yun Xiao found himself at a loss for words.

"But how do you know that I am bound to die?" Xia Dabao asked.

"I can’t be sure with the Witch King, but if you stay with the Chi Xia Tribe, you’re certain to die," Yun Xiao clutched his chest.

The tracking bug that the Clan Chief had surreptitiously planted inside him was acting up again.

Xia Dabao quickly came over to rub his chest for him: "Does that wound still hurt? After we get to shore, I must have the Witch King call a few more Witch Doctors to treat you."

Yun Xiao lifted his head and saw the concerned expression on Xia Dabao’s cute face, making him smile once more.

Aside from the bones in the lake, there was also a tablet standing on the shore with the appearance of the monster drawn on it, as well as the gruesome details of the monster devouring humans.

On the way back, the Witch King described past events to Xia Dabao while walking: "No one knows how many years that monster has lived; for centuries, it has been the shadow in the hearts of the people of Southern Zhao Country, emerging once every fifty years. Fifty years ago, when the monster appeared, my father was only a teenager and he witnessed that catastrophe."

"Then why didn’t everyone just flee?" Xia Dabao asked.

"Where could they escape to? The people of Southern Zhao Country also have their own things to protect here, and survival outside the mountains is not guaranteed."

Xia Dabao understood; her mother said that once many people commit to a place, they treat it as their root and will want to return someday.

...

At the Palace gate.

Just as Yun Xiao predicted, the Chi Xia Tribe Chief had also sent Hong Yan over, claiming it was to attend to Xia Dabao, but also to report to the Witch King on the current situation of the giant bug.

"The giant bug is getting more restless by the day, its tentacles have retracted by a third, and now it’s in a state of growth stagnation," Hong Yan said.

"Good, I got it," the Witch King didn’t say much, nor did he ask for Xia Dabao’s blood.

He wanted Xia Dabao to offer it herself.

Just as Xia Dabao was about to step forward and say she had rested for several days and that she could donate blood again, Yun Xiao blocked her.

The Witch King also said, "Let Dabao rest two more days," Yun Xiao added, "Her body has just recovered; doing it so frequently would be too much for her."

Hong Yan continued her report: "Witch King, the Clan Chief said we could pick the Holy Fruit from the Moon Heart Tribe for Lady Dabao to eat."

"Holy Fruit?" The Witch King glanced at Xia Dabao, then said with a light smile, "That’s right, how did I not think of that? The Holy Fruit is a good medicine for replenishing blood and vital energy. Even people on their deathbeds can regain their strength in a short time after eating this. Alright, go pick the Holy Fruit then. Hong Yan, you go right now with my Subordinate, Chi Yu."

Seeing this, Bei Shan quickly asked the Witch King for permission: "Witch King, please allow me to go with Hong Yan, to have an opportunity to serve for Southern Zhao Country, for Lady Dabao."
