Chapter 369 - Im Xiao Bing, a man from the Cathaysian State (1/2)
Chapter 369 I’m Xiao Bing, a man from the Cathaysian State
The other people were shouting and trying to coax the princess to come over to them.
Xiao Bing’s mind went blank. He had not expected that the princess would come to his aid, even though she knew that he had been taking advantage of her.
But Xiao Bing was not an irresolute man. He instantly seized the princess by the arm. This girl was not only a princess. She was also the granddaughter of Iza Kawatani, the most powerful man in R Country. He believed he could leave this place unharmed, if he took the princess as his hostage.
Holding the girl in his arms, Xiao Bing shouted, “I’m going to leave. If anyone tries to stop me, the sun might no longer shine upon your princess.”
The second patriarch bellowed, “We must not let him leave.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “Is this Princess Nami not the granddaughter of the Great Patriarch? If she dies, the Great Patriarch will have no descendant. Maybe you must have hated him all this time, and want to overthrow him? But you should do it after his death.”
The second patriarch spluttered, “You…”
“What?” Xiao Bing laughed, “The man in that sack has been taken by another man. Why are you still standing in my way, instead of chasing after that guy? I’m not his partner.”
The other patriarchs looked at the second patriarch and said, “My lord, he’s right. Though it doesn’t seem right, we should look for the other man. I will not be able to bear the consequences if we lose the man in the sack. Besides, the princess will be absolutely safe.”
The second patriarch gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Bing. “I assume you have reached the level of Void-breaking? A powerful master like you should not be doing such things to a little girl.” He sounded very reluctant.
Xiao Bing laughed, “What’s the difference between being a powerful master and being a normal man? Then why are you still being so shameless? Why can’t you make it a 1 to 1 fight?”
The second patriarch blazed, “You are at the level of Void-breaking. It’s not fair for us to fight you alone.”
“Which one matters more? Pride or life? How about I trade my pride for your life.”
The second patriarch had never seen such a shameless and powerful man. He was suddenly at a loss for words.
Xiao Bing seized Princess Nami by the arm and asked, “Will you step aside?”
The second patriarch also knew that blood would flow like a river if they were to kill Xiao Bing. Actually he had seen Feng XIII taking the sack. He did not know why Feng XIII chose to do that. But the man in that sack was involved with a secret plan of R Country, so he had to make sure that everything was under his control. Though this man was taking the princess as a hostage, his relationship with the princess and the emperor was not that of any ordinary person. If anything happened to this man, they could not bear the consequences.
He had to wave his hands and said, “Let him go.”
Xiao Bing grinned, “That’s more like it. The princess will be returned to you unharmed, after I leave the Kokyo.”
Then Xiao Bing began running, while cradling the princess in his arms. He left the Kokyo, walked across the bridge and entered a forest. After he made sure that no one was following him, he stopped and let go of the princess.
Xiao Bing sighed, “Nami, thank you. You can go back now.”
Princess Nami raised her head to look at Xiao Bing. “Ichiro, you tried to approach me because you are looking for something in the Kokyo?”
“Yes.” Xiao Bing did not deny it. “Your family has seized someone important. We assumed that he was locked somewhere in the Kokyo. It turns out that we are right. But now he has been taken by Feng XIII. Your grandpa must have asked him to do that, otherwise he would not have succeeded that easily.”
Princess Nami looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Who are you exactly?”
“Me?” Xiao Bing managed a wry smile. “What can you do, even if you know who I am. I suppose you already know that I’ve become an enemy of the royal family. I’m part of the reason that man was taken and I have killed so many in the Kokyo. Your family will not spare me. So what good will it do if I tell you my true identity?”
Princess Nami shook her head. She seemed strangely resolute. “I can leave my family for you. I can follow you wherever you go.”
