909 Black and White, A New World! (1/2)

”Five years? With Young Empress's plans, we only need two years before the humankind lose their ability to defend, why do we need to wait for five years for this brat?” The woman named Lin Ji said.

”Hmm, that's right, we don't need to wait for five years.” This time round, Lin Yu did not refute Lin Ji and nodded his head slightly. Then, he turned to Fang Zhengzhi. ”Of course, with this brat's personality, he would not be genuinely compliant even if he went to Blood Shadow City.

”That's right, Young Empress, do you really think this brat is worth marrying?” Lin Ji understood what Lin Yu meant and looked at Yun Qingwu again.

”He used to be!” Yun Qingwu affirmed.

”Used to? How long ago?” Lin Ji asked again.

”Just now… 15 minutes ago,” Yun Qingwu spoke again.

”Young Empress, you mean that he is no longer worth marrying now?”

”I am not sure about that. Maybe he is, maybe not.” Yun Qingwu shook her head and seemed to be pondering over something.

Just as she was conversing with Lin Ji and Lin Yu, Fang Houde suddenly bent to the ground and a sharp knife appeared in his hand.

It was the knife that had dropped to the ground when he was fighting against the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race.

This was an unexpected and sudden scene. The villagers of the Northern Mountain Village were shocked and stared at Fang Houde.

After grabbing the sharp knife, Fang Houde did not attack Yun Qingwu like how the villagers had expected. Instead, he returned to Qin Xuelian's side.

”Dad, what are you doing?!” Fang Houde's body shook. He did not bother about what Yun Qingwu and Lin Ji would do to him because he only had one intention: to rescue Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

”Zheng'er, Dad and Mom can't be a burden to you. Forgive me… I have to do this!” After Fang Houde spoke, without hesitation, he stabbed Qin Xuelian's chest with the knife in his hand.

Bam!

Fang Houde rolled to the side and dropped his knife on the ground. Meanwhile, a figure gradually appeared at the position he was standing at previously.

It was none other than Lin Ji.

”Hey, trying to kill your wife before committing suicide? What a noble fatherly love. However, it's not so easy to commit suicide in front of me, hehe…” Lin Ji's body shook slightly ass she laughed. She looked at Fang Houde as if she was looking at an ant that could be fiddled with or killed anytime by her.

”Lin Ji!!!” Fang Zhengzhi's roar echoed throughout the entire Northern Mountain Village.

”What happened? So fierce? I saved your parents, shouldn't you thank me for that? Don't shout at me like this, I am so scared…”

”Zheng'er, Dad is useless. I can't even commit suicide…” Fang Houde gradually stood up from the ground. He took a glance at the knife on the ground and two streams of tears fell to the ground.

Fang Houde, a man who was nearly fifty and had lived strong-willed for decades, a man who never shed a tear even when one of his arm was bitten off by the Blue Fire Wolf and was having the hardest time in his life, had his tears flowing like a fountain at this moment.

He resented his incapability, he resented his weakness, he resented the fact that he had become a burden for Fang Zhengzhi.

”Dad, you can't die. Mom too. i can't live without you two, please, I am begging you!!!” Fang Zhengzhi's body shook and he knelt down to the ground.

Throughout his entire life, Fang Zhengzhi was someone who rarely knelt down to his knees, even when he met Emperor Lin Mubai.

However, he knelt down at this moment.

With both knees on the ground, his Traceless Sword was stabbed deeply into the ground and tears as red as blood welled up in his bloodshot eyes.

Perhaps it was not tears but real blood.

A man does not shed tears unless deeply hurt.

How could Fang Zhengzhi not be resentful?

He was extremely bright. He had clenched the Double Roll Champion continuously in the examination of the Law of Dao and made great achievements in the Battle of the Southern Region, making himself known in the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

However, now…

He could not even protect his loved ones. How could he not be resentful?

”Zheng'er… Don't kneel, you can't kneel. You are a man, how can you kneel like this?” Fang Houde's body trembled violently and gripped onto the soil and rocks on the ground with all his might, causing his nails to curl because of the immense strength. However, Fang Houde did not seem to feel any of this.

”Brother Zhengzhi, Uncle Fang, you two have to be brave and not be terrified by the villain! The book wrote that a gentleman must constantly strive to improve and stay strong. This was what Brother Zhengzhi taught me!” Little Radish's tender voice was heard and his black eyes were glistening with determination.

”Little Radish…” Fang Houde sobbed.

The villagers of the Northern Mountain Village also sobbed. Their visions blurred with tears and soon began weeping.

Yun Qingwu clenched her fist tight and turned over to look at the gradually darkening Cang Ling Mountain.

”Let's go,” said Yun Qingwu.

”Now?” Lin Ji was clearly not satisfied yet but did not say much.

”Hmm, Fang Zhengzhi, I have decided to change my mind and I am not marrying you. Anyway, you do not have the right to choose, so you should not have any complains if I change my deal?” Yun Qingwu continued staring faraway and did not turn back.

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists very tightly and did not speak.

”Do you still remember our bet on the Heaven Zen Mountain? For two years' time, you can live peacefully as an ordinary human and I won't disturb you. However, there's something I wish to remind you, if you want to protect your parents, you better don't leave the Northern Mountain Village. After all, I may be back anytime.” After she finished her sentence, Yun Qingwu walked out of the village.

”Hahaha, that's right, Young Empress. How is this brat worth marrying?” Lin Ji laughed as she heard Yun Qingwu's words.

”Let's go.” Lin Yu took a glance at Lin Ji and caught up with Yun Qingwu. He clearly did not have any intention to stay on longer.

Witnessing this, the surrounding Demon soldiers kept their weapons and retreated from the Northern Mountain Village in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, a few of the Demon soldiers helped the severely injured Vice Domain Chief up from the ground. After all, although his body had been penetrated by Fang Zhengzhi's sword, as a Demon who was of the Rebirth State, he did not die immediately. In fact, he would be able to recover after a period of recuperation.

As Yun Qingwu and the Demon soldiers took their leave, the villagers got up and quickly surrounded Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly exploded up from the ground.

A killer aura surged crazily like a wild whirlwind that shrouded the entire Northern Mountain Village. It was extremely fast, as fast as a stream of light.

Crack!

The Vice Domain Chief that the Demon soldiers were carrying split into half. Then, his body exploded and the force caused the Demon soldiers to fall to the ground.

A figure appeared at the center of the explosion. The blue robe was stained with blood under the night sky and a dragon-like sound came from the purple long sword.

”Fang… Fang Zhengzhi?!” All the Demon soldiers who saw this whipped out their weapons again with stern expressions.

After all, nobody had expected that Fang Zhengzhi really dared to spring an attack in front of 10,000 Demon soldiers and two powerful individuals of the Godly State.

Lin Yu frowned. A light radiance flowed past his body as he took a glance at the dead Vice Domain Chief and the figure who was shrouded by a killer aura.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stopped.

However, she did not turn back or speak. She only stopped for a while before she continued walking in the direction of the exit of the village.
