Jing Yu, who was used to being in a high position, would never guess the thoughts of a woman born as a servant if he did not see it with his own eyes. However, when he saw Qinger's appearance at this moment, he could not help but feel his heart ache.
Putting down the branch with the roast chicken in his hand, Jing Yu stood up and went behind Qinger. Hugging her gave her a sense of warmth.
Qinger grabbed Jing Yu's hand with one hand.
"Young master, can you promise me one thing?”She tilted her head back and met Jing Yu's eyes. Jing Yu saw the uneasiness in her eyes and the redness caused by her crying.
"What is it?" Jing Yu was curious.
"You agree first."
"Alright, I agree." He laughed.
"A golden mouth and jade words, never changing?”Seeing his expression, she was still a little worried.
"I will never change my words." He repeated.
"Then Qinger will stay by your side forever.”She looked nervous as she waited for his approval.
"..." Jing Yu was stunned for a moment. Then, his loud laughter rang out in the wilderness.
Qinger didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to make a sound, but she held his hand even tighter. She looked as if she was afraid that he would chase her away immediately.
"I told you to give birth to my baby. Why wouldn't I let you stay by my side? If that's the case, who will be the mother of my child?”Jing Yu wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile,"You're just thinking too much. The feelings between you and me, how can you say that there is no such thing? Or do you think I'm that heartless?”
Qinger shook her head, and tears gathered in her big black eyes again. Her voice trembled and choked because of her emotional agitation.
"Can…can I really give birth to your child?”
"If I say yes, then yes!”Jing Yu's face had a serious expression." I will never change my words!" Moreover, you have no right to deny it!”
"So domineering, but it also makes me happy.”Qinger touched the corner of her eyes and stopped the tears from flowing out. She smiled sweetly at Jing Yu and nodded heavily.
"Well, when the atmosphere is good, there will always be people who like to come out and cause trouble.”Jing Yu had originally planned to caress Qing Er's face, but he suddenly raised his head to look in a certain direction in the darkness and sneered.
Qinger was stunned and looked in the direction Jing Yu was looking at. Under the influence of the fire, this place was bright and the other was dark. She could not see anything at all. However, from Jing Yu's cold expression, he could tell that there must be an uninvited guest.
Qinger put down the branch that was used to roast the chicken and took out her sword that was placed on the grass beside her. This sword was thinner than ordinary bronze swords. Jing Yu had found someone to specially forge it for her. It was mainly elastic and tough, and could even be bent to 90 degrees without breaking.
Gradually, amidst the occasional crackling of firewood, Qinger, who had some cultivation, heard the sound of several people stepping on the grass. She couldn't help but feel nervous…normally, under Jing Yu's arrangements, although she had fought with those soldiers, she had never truly fought.
Thinking of this, she looked at Jing Yu and could not help but be stunned again. His eyes were filled with disdain. It was as if he had seen through the darkness and saw the expressions of the approaching enemies. Not to mention the source of his confidence, at least it made Qinger feel a little better…If she had to say, the source of her confidence must be him.
"A child and a young girl? Hehe, big brother, aren't we a little too busy today?”A man in his 20s dragged the ruffian and said in the dark.
"Don't be careless. That girl is holding a weapon in her hand, and the person in the car hasn't appeared yet.”This one looked a little older, but he also revealed a calm and ruthless aura. As he spoke, he stopped right at the edge of the flame's range and shouted,"Listen up, people in the carriage. Leave behind your valuables, horses, and carriages. We won't make things difficult for you.”
Qinger was stunned for a moment. Who else was in the car? She turned to look at Jing Yu and saw him nod with a smile…She somewhat understood. Those bandits must have seen the two of them driving and thought that there was someone of a higher status sitting in the carriage. This was understandable. Who would have thought that the young master Jing Yu would personally drive the carriage?
And Jing Yu was thinking, these people's strength were not high, why not let Qinger try.
"Wait!" The person who spoke earlier suddenly shouted," Big brother, hehe, let that girl stay too, brothers…"
Whoosh, buzz, crack…
With a swoosh, Qing 'er felt the flames deflect because of Jing Yu's high-speed movement. He had already arrived at the edge of the shadow with the black heavy sword stuck in the carriage. With a hum, the black heavy sword pierced through the air. Then, it seemed to penetrate something and made a cracking sound.
Qing 'er covered her mouth…because of her height, Jing Yu's sword was pointed upwards. Some liquid flowed down the black blade and fell to the ground halfway. Although she couldn't see the color of the liquid due to the relationship between the sky and the sword, she could tell what it was. He felt a wave of nausea in his stomach. The fragrance of roasted chicken in the air had somehow turned into the smell of blood. She didn't feel it when she killed the chicken, but now, it made her feel so uncomfortable.
The bandit leader who was standing in the dark turned his head mechanically and looked at the man who was talking to him just now…His mouth was pierced by a thick black sword, and the blade went straight out the back of his head. Death might only be a matter of an instant, but there was still some lewdness on his face.
Gulp! In the silence, the sound of swallowing was so loud. The bandit leader's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he felt two stinging sensations on the side of his face…He knew that the God of Death who had just killed one of his men was looking at him. If he could move, he knew that the first thing he would do would be to kneel and beg for mercy.
"I'll give you a chance!"
Jing Yu pulled back the black sword and shook it, shaking off the blood and brain matter on it. That pair of cold and emotionless eyes swept across the surrounding bandits with miserable expressions.
"Fight the woman behind me." He said," As long as she kills one of you first, the rest can leave alive.”
"Young Master!"
Qinger did not expect him to say this, and she could not help but hold her sword in her arms at a loss.
When Jing Yu turned around to face her, his eyes became gentle again.
"Qing 'er, if this was a peaceful and prosperous time, I wouldn't force you to kill. However, this was a chaotic world. One had to have the determination to kill.”Jing Yu walked to Qinger's side and shook her slightly cold hand." At least, that will make me feel at ease."”
He could clearly see the struggle in Qinger's eyes. In the end, she didn't know how she convinced herself, but her eyes became firm again.
"Then young lord, promise me that you will always look at me when I fight.”she requested.
"No problem."
Jing Yu smiled and didn't turn around. He suddenly threw out the black sword. With a whoosh, it was as swift as an arrow that had left the bow. By the time Qinger noticed this, a scream came from the darkness. The sound then came to a sudden stop, and the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground continued.
"Trying to run?" Jing Yu turned around and faced the darkness. He should not have been able to see them due to the light. However, the bandits could clearly feel the pain on their cheeks from his sharp gaze.
"But, what if…what if we kill that girl?”
It seemed that he could only brace himself and fight. Fortunately, there was still hope of survival. The bandit leader's heart hardened, and he couldn't help but voice out the only worry in his heart.
"Hmph, if you can do it, then try it.”This was what Qinger said herself. She had already walked towards the darkness…while holding Jing Yu's hand. In a sense, this was really not reassuring.
He entered the darkness and adjusted to the light." One, two, three…twelve people?”Qinger counted their numbers." Young Master, they are much worse than those soldiers.”
"Of course." Jing Yu rolled his eyes at her." They were originally the Xiang Clan's elites, and after being trained by me for a year or two…If they were still useless, I would have crippled them long ago.”
" Hey, hey, hey..." Qinger shrunk her neck. With a whoosh, she had already pulled out a sharp thin sword. It was somewhat like a steel sword of the future. The blade was narrow and thin, reflecting a cold light under the fire.
"Xiang Clan? " Could it be…" The bandit boss looked at Jing Yu and could not help but feel bitter in his heart. This was still the territory of Chu, and the Xiang clan still had a young master. He naturally knew who that was. It was natural that he did not succeed this time. If he succeeded, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
Therefore, he cupped his hands at Jing Yu." So it's the young master of the Xiang family who beat a tiger at the age of six. No wonder…I've offended you this time. If I can live, I'll definitely offer you a small gift to apologize in the future."”
"Cut the crap!" Jing Yu gestured to Qinger." Let's begin."”
"Yes, Young Master."
Qing 'er responded. She had already drawn her sword and stabbed at the bandit boss who was closest to her.
Since they were going on a long journey this time, Jing Yu and Qing 'er's clothes had been changed for the sake of convenience. For example, Jing Yu had changed out of his usual splendor and was mainly wearing a dirt-resistant black martial arts robe. As for Qinger, she mainly wore dresses that were convenient for movement and would not reveal her body…This dress was also what she usually wore when she practiced martial arts.
Qinger's sword attack was not a very profound sword skill. However, in the bandit boss's eyes, the blade seemed to be alive and drifting left and right. Although he was holding an axe in his hand, he didn't know which side to block. He simply rolled on the ground and avoided Qinger's sword.
He had probably never seen such a response before, right? Qinger's movements could not help but pause for a moment. After that, she chased after him again…since her goal was to kill one person first, then she would kill whoever she wanted to kill. Therefore, the target of her second sword had changed to another person.
He didn't expect that this person actually wanted to learn from the bandit boss and roll around like a lazy donkey. However, Qinger was prepared. She changed her move midway and slashed at his arm. The man didn't get out. He covered his arm on the ground and howled miserably. It was Qinger's sword that was so sharp that the wound was so deep that the bone could be seen.
Qinger stopped not far away from him. If she could kill him with another sword attack, she would be able to. With that, her mission was over. Looking at the people around her, Qinger snorted. To think that they were still that person's companions. At this moment, they were only gloating at that person and rejoicing that they did not have to die. As for the person lying on the ground, he was covered in snot and tears. His eyes were filled with pleading as he looked at Qinger.
She was in a dilemma. Should she kill him or not?
