Chapter 697 - 695: Escaping from the Brink of Death!

Chapter 697: Chapter 695: Escaping from the Brink of Death!

At the break of dawn the next day.

Fire torch glow started illuminating the woods ahead.

Chu Jiangliu burst out of the darkness and saw Su Jiannan and his team. He said, "Senior Su Jiannan, I came to meet you under the orders of the First Princess. Follow me."

Su Jiannan was overjoyed and said, "Our thanks to Princess Chang, The Spirit Sword Sect will remember this kindness."

Chu Jiangliu, with the core members of the army, cautiously entered Shenwu Kingdom.

The Southern Region, White Sand City.

White Sand City, a major city within the Southern Region not far from the borders is used to stock up military supplies year-round.

In the middle of the night, a group of shadowy figures hurriedly entered White Sand City.

In a remote mansion within White Sand City.

The First Princess stepped forward to welcome them, looked at the weak Lin Bai carried by Ji Bei, hastily stepped forward, took Lin Bai from Ji Bei and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Bai, although he had rested for a day, the feeling of weakness did not subside.

Seeing the First Princess’s worried face, he faintly smiled and shook his head weakly.

The First Princess checked Lin Bai’s body. She found no serious injuries, but she couldn’t figure out why Lin Bai was so weak.

"Side effects of overusing the Great Desolation Skill."

The First Princess immediately thought of this. It must be the side effect of using the Great Desolation Skill.

Immediately, the First Princess turned to Jian Xuan behind Su Jiannan and asked, "Are you Jian Xuan?"

Jian Xuan glanced at the First Princess and said indifferently, "You resemble Xiang Fei..."

The First Princess was startled, "Did you know my mother?"

Jian Xuan smiled bitterly, "So you are Xiang Fei’s daughter. How is she?"

The First Princess replied, "Twenty years ago, my mother died."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xuan suddenly became agitated and asked, "Dead! How did she die?"

The First Princess replied, "She was heartbroken."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Xuan laughed uproariously, tears streaming down his face.

Upon seeing Jian Xuan’s behavior, the First Princess was momentarily taken aback and instructed, "Take the Sect Leader Su Jiannan and the Spirit Sword Sect disciples to rest. After they have recovered, send them back to the Spirit Sword Sect."

Su Jiannan expressed his gratitude again and again, then he and Jian Xuan went to rest.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai was taken away by the First Princess.

The First Princess held Lin Bai and took him to a room and laid him on the bed.

Then, the Princess excused the maids. Only the First Princess and Lin Bai remained in the room.

Lin Bai looked weakly at the First Princess, not having the strength to speak.

The First Princess smiled, "Didn’t you say you were mighty? Get up, show me how strong you are."

Lin Bai weakly glared at the First Princess, tiredly shut his eyes, and began to recover his strength.

Seeing Lin Bai in this state, the First Princess started to tease him relentlessly.

"Ahh, who does this little brother belong to, lying here so weakly..." The First Princess put her head on Lin Bai’s chest and started unbuttoning his clothes with a mischievous smile.

"Oh, wow! Lin Bai, I didn’t expect your muscles to be quite good."

The Princess pinched Lin Bai’s muscles.

Although Lin Bai felt weak, the touch sent a clear sensation through his skin.

The First Princess laughed, "Weren’t you strong? Weren’t you amazing? But now you’re helpless, right?"

Lin Bai glared at the First Princess and tried hard to warn, "Woman, you’re playing with fire!"

The First Princess laughed heartily, "Haha, playing with fire what can you do about it now? With your current condition, you won’t be able to stand up from this bed for at least three days. What can you do to me?"

"Is that so? I don’t think I’d need three days!"

Suddenly, Lin Bai sprung up, pinning the first princess onto the bed, and mounted her.

The first princess felt Lin Bai pressing down on her and immediately exclaimed, "How is this possible? The weakness from the Great Desolation Skill should last for at least three days. How can you recover in such a short time...."

Lin Bai smirked, "Who was it just now ripping off my clothes...?"

With a wicked grin, Lin Bai reached out to grope the first princess’s chest...

"Who was it just now playing with the muscles on my chest ..."

Lin Bai flashed another wicked grin, slightly nipping it with his fingers.

The First Princess grimaced in slight pain and warned playfully, "Don’t..."

A passion ignited, and Lin Bai planted a kiss.

A scene only suitable for mature audiences was unfolding in the room for more than an hour.

One hour later.

The first princess, looking rather weak, laid breathlessly on Lin Bai’s chest.

"How did you recover so quickly?" she asked, utterly puzzled.

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "I guess it’s the Golden War Body. My robust physique allowed me to quickly rid myself of that feeling of weakness.

"By the way, I am going to give you a lot of good stuff from my storage bag."

"The cultivation mantra for the first three levels of the Golden War Body."

"Zhao Xiansheng’s flying compass."

"The method of cultivating the Feng Lei Divine Wings."

"....."

Lin Bai took out many powerful items all at once.

These items were redundant for Lin Bai, totally useless.

But for other warriors, they could be considered treasures.

Especially in the Lingdong 700 States, where cultivation resources were not abundant, these items were incredibly important.

The first princess gleefully put all these things into her storage bag and said, "You have given me many good things, how should I repay you?"

As she said this, she sweetly straddled Lin Bai’s abdomen, looking at him with a wicked grin.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "All these things are inconsequential. Giving them to you is just so you can have more ways to survive. Once I leave Shenwu Kingdom, you will have to rely on yourself."

"Also, once I find enough materials for forging flying swords, I will make one for you. With a flying sword, you will have even more means to protect yourself."

"Oh right, regarding the Prime Minister of the Xu family, Shenwu Kingdom needs to deal with him as soon as possible."

"If you need me to step in, I can pay a visit to the Xu family."

Lin Bai looked over at the First Princess as he spoke.

The first princess said, "You don’t need to intervene in the Xu family matter. If you simply went to the Xu family and killed the prime minister, I suspect the civil officials in the court would explode the next day."

"Without first removing the prime minister’s henchmen, even if you kill him directly, the royal family would end up being criticized for being untrustworthy."

"Alright, Lin Bai, don’t interfere with matters happening in the imperial capital anymore. This is politics, you don’t understand."

The First Princess said lightly.

Lin Bai nodded and laughed, "If it’s about killing, ten Bai Xiaoxiao combined couldn’t match up to me, Lin Bai; but if it’s about political intrigue, ten of me, Lin Bai, couldn’t match up to one Bai Xiaoxiao."

"Right, I heard Sword Xuan Senior Brother mention Xiang Fei..."

"Who is this Xiang Fei...?"

Lin Bai looked curiously at the first princess.

The first princess softly said, "Xiang Fei is my birth mother. A hundred years ago, she was the most beautiful woman in Lingdong, with many men vying for her attention."

"But I don’t know why my mother ended up marrying into the imperial palace."

"After I was born, my mother died."

"To this day, I still don’t know what really happened to my mother."

The first princess spoke, sounding somewhat lost.
