“Gulp, Gulp!”

Listening to Jiang Yi’s statement, Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei blinked and looked at each other while doing the same gulping motion to calm down the surge in their hearts.

In fact, the two of them were trembling and were instinctively terrified. Who was Shui Youlan again? The world’s no.1 martial expert! Even the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire and the Kings of the Six Major Vassal States had to highly regard this woman. Without considering Jiang Yi—even his father, Jiang Bieli, wouldn’t dare to speak to her like this, right?

In fact, Shui Qianrou wasn’t strong; her combat skills were crap, and she didn’t even know how to use her brain during combat. Why was she undefeated when she traveled down from the Northern Liang Kingdom? Why didn’t anyone find trouble with her after she crippled and injured so many people? If she was someone else, she would be dead for 10,000 times already. Wasn’t it all because her mother was Shui Youlan?

She was the one who could use a single palm strike to smash that kasaya which belonged to the Great Zen Monastery old monk who had lived for a few centuries!

“Presumptuous!”

“Audacious!”

“You must be tired of living!”

All the ladies from the Water Moon Observatory were instantly enraged by Jiang Yi’s manner of speech. Not only did Jiang Yi disrespected Shui Youlan, but he even insulted the entire Water Moon Observatory. If Shui Qianrou wasn’t in Jiang Yi’s hand, this group of people would have gone out of control.

“Ke-Ke!”

Shui Youlan’s image in the sky didn’t have any hint of anger, she smiled instead and spoke calmly as she fixed her eyes on Jiang Yi, “Young man, you have courage; but your temperament is overly steadfast, which might cause your premature death. ‘Overly strong but brittle’ is an ancient saying that has held true. Take a step back, and the world’s opportunities will open up to you. My earlier promise is still valid.”

Shui Youlan’s voice echoed throughout the woods. The strange thing was that no one else on the Crystal Stone Plains was about to hear her voice and could only see her image.

Countless people were bewildered. If Shui Youlan congealed her image, it meant that Shui Qianrou was in danger. Yun He gathering an army that had thousands of martial artists was something everyone knew, but the question was—who could harm Shui Qianrou who was part of this army?

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi laughed again in the Ghost Woods. Shui Youlan’s speech might seem calm, but from his perspective, he could hear a threatening tone. Overly firm but brittle? Wasn’t she trying to say—if he carried on like this, his life was going to end prematurely?

The Fire Spirit Pearl in Jiang Yi’s hand was still glowing, and if Shui Youlan had any weird movements, he was definitely able to take out the Fire Spirit Rock before he was dead.

Shui Youlan was indeed formidable, but she was just an image now. Jiang Yi believed she wouldn’t be able to save Shui Qianrou.

Jiang Yi paused for a moment before he spoke again, “Hostess Shui. I do not know if I am going to die prematurely, but I know if I am dead, Young Lady Shui will definitely be buried with me. If you don’t believe me, then go ahead and try!”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s stubbornness finally provoked Shui Youlan’s anger as her eyes turn cold while an even stronger pressure came pouring down. Everyone within the 50-kilometer radius of the Ghost Woods felt as though the heaven was collapsing while the earth was shattering. Especially Jiang Yi, Zhan Wushuang, and the others who were in the woods; they could feel as though their bones were breaking, and they wouldn’t be able to withstand another second of such pressure before being crushed to death.

Shui Qianrou’s delicate body was also trembling from the pressure and was turning pale. Jiang Yi, who stood behind her, even stopped breathing while both his legs were trembling—obviously about to kneel from the overbearing pressure. His expression revealed nothing but discomfort, but he still struggled to squirm his lips and shouted, “One!”

“Crack!”

It was fine when he didn’t shout; once he did, the pressure got worst, causing his bones to let out cracking sounds and his innards to jolt again. Fresh blood trickled slowly from the edge of his mouth and dripped onto Shui Qianrou’s spotlessly-white neck.

Despite so, Jiang Yi’s eyes remained like an unyielding wolf that was injured, glaring at Shui Youlan in the air as he yelled out again, “Two!”

When he saw that Shui Youlan’s expression didn’t have any hint of change, his mouth revealed a cruel smile as the Fire Spirit Pearl radiated brightly while he shouted out with bursting rage, “Three! Die—!”

“Alright, young man! You win!”

Right at this moment, Shui Youlan spoke. Her expression regained the composure, and that horrific pressure vanished without a trace.

Shui Qianrou’s delicate body was trembling like crazy while her delicate face grew both green and white from paleness. She had just smelled the presence of the grim reaper. She didn’t doubt the fact that if Shui Youlan didn’t compromise, this maniac Jiang Yi would definitely take her down with him!

“Young man, what must be done for you to release Qianrou? Name your terms!”

Shui Youlan’s voice quickly echoed, and in her speech, there was a tone that felt like it was vaguely begging for mercy. Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei were stunned to see that the world’s no.1 martial expert was actually begging Jiang Yi. Wouldn’t it be a huge commotion if this was to spread to the outside world?

Blood was still flowing from Jiang Yi’s mouth which gradually dripped onto Shui Qianrou’s neck while finally trickling down the middle of her slightly bulging chest.

Jiang Yi felt a burden being relieved from his heart. He might have predicted that Shui Youlan was unable to rescue Shui Qianrou and would ultimately compromise. If Shui Youlan was one second late, Shui Qianrou would have certainly died; and this matter wouldn’t be redeemed anymore. Once Shui Qianrou was dead, he would have died under the rage of Shui Youlan.

He used his life to take a risk, and he won in the end!

Since the opposition had compromised, then things were easy now—as a negotiation was a contest of who was more ruthless! Right now, he was superior to Shui Youlan, which was why he was the one to set the terms.

He looked around and muttered before speaking, “Firstly, from today onwards—apart from Shui Qianrou, none of your Water Moon Observatory’s people can make a move against me. If Shui Qianrou has the capability to kill me—I, Jiang Yi, have nothing to say.”

Shui Youlan nodded and replied, “This is fair. Even if you didn’t request for it, I will not send anyone to pursue you either. I, Shui Youlan, am not such a petty person.”

Jiang Yi paused before speaking again, “The grudge between me and Shui Qianrou wasn’t my fault. It was your daughter who came looking for me and wanting to kill me. Hence, you have to compensate me!”

Shui Youlan laughed lightly as she knew her daughter’s temperament the best, and she knew Jiang Yi was telling the truth. She naturally wouldn’t say anything about it and just nodded, “What do you want? As long as it isn’t excessive, there is room for discussion.”

Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei’s eyes lit up when they heard Shui Youlan’s reply. How many artifacts would the world’s no.1 martial expert possess? Even if Jiang Yi wanted a few pieces of saint artifact, she would definitely be able to take it out, right?

Jiang Yi’s next statement would take down the fiery passion in their hearts as Jiang Yi shook his head and said, “I don’t want anything. I just need this group of people to listen to my orders during this Kingdom War. I want to get the first ranking for the Kingdom War.”

“Done!”

Shui Youlan’s eyes had this trace of admiration as she glanced at more than forty ladies from the Water Moon Observatory and ordered: “From today onwards, you will listen to his orders and help him obtain the first ranking for the Kingdom War. Once the Kingdom War has ended, bring the Young Lady back immediately.”

After giving the instructions, Shui Youlan gave Jiang Yi another look before her image gradually dispersed from the sky, leaving behind a statement that only Jiang Yi could hear, “You are Jiang Yi, right? Your temperament is precisely the same as Lady Piaopiao. If you have free time, come over to Starfall Island for a visit. Lady Piaopiao left a little something at the Water Moon Observatory, and I think you will be interested in it.”
