Chapter 545: "Not Yet Over"

When Bai Wei woke up again, it was already the next morning.

He had slept for more than ten hours, and his soul was overloaded. It needed time to recover slowly.

As a master of souls, he knew very well what had caused his current weakness.

He also knew how incredibly lucky his victory in the previous soul battle was.

The Third Princess’s calculations were fast, fierce, and accurate, while she had been on the receiving end all along, she still managed to win purely based on her excellent character.

When you’re on the right path, you’ll receive more help, but when you’re on the wrong path, you’ll have less. Luck plays a big role.

There was no other choice for Bai Wei. He was completely cornered. In this unfamiliar land, he had no mobilizing power and no resources to use. He could only keep betting on things like "betting you don’t have bullets in your gun" or "betting I’m faster than your bullet" or "betting your gun can’t kill me" or "betting even if you kill me, I can still come back to life."

Looking at the process, it was full of danger, but considering the outcome, it was actually quite good.

Bai Wei didn’t die, Chao Lu didn’t die, and the snake girl transformed back into a dragon after taking the dragon ball and even gained another dragon ball from the Black Sea dragon.

The Golden Power also reached the middle stage, and it was even the late period of the middle stage.

Having one Golden Eye was enough to restore the power to the middle stage, and two Golden Eyes were enough to restore it to the high stage.

In order to fully restore the Golden Power, collecting bones slowly was too time-consuming and inefficient. One needed to find the Golden Throne to skip all the preliminary steps.

This was a complete surprise. The Third Princess turned out to be the third princess of the kingdom. With a higher level of Golden Power, she almost made Bai Wei into a side dish.

The same mysterious pressure is very serious. The reason Teresa lost to Bai Wei is because she never had intermediate-level Golden Power during her life. It’s because she’s not skilled, cherishes her feathers, and likes to manipulate and scheme. So she lacks personal strength, giving Bai Wei the possibility to turn the tables. But her strategy is very accurate, the only thing she can’t keep up with is her own strength.

Awareness is in place, but the operation can’t keep up.

If it weren’t for her, if it were someone else, maybe I would have already died; but if it weren’t for her, it would be difficult to calculate myself to this point.

There is no coincidence in the world, only the inevitable piled up.

Bai Wei feels that this journey is still quite fruitful.

It’s easy to complain along the way, there are many things worth complaining about. After all, looking back, I realized that everything was a minefield.

I thought I was entering the enemy’s territory, but in reality, I was entering their high ground, where every move was seen clearly.

But there are also many interesting things on the journey. If he didn’t go on this trip, he would definitely miss out on a lot.

If he doesn’t come, Chao Lu will die, Nalan Qingshu will die, Ying Mu will also die. If he can save them, then it’s worth making this trip.

What’s more, deep down in his heart, Bai Wei really wanted to see the third princess again.

Even if they knew that they were destined to clash when they met, like water and fire.

He truly hated their viciousness, but he also missed their tenderness.

Although time cannot be turned back, love and hate are like two sides of the same coin, difficult to separate clearly.

Lying in the sickbed, Bai Wei could imagine the nurses and doctors rushing around. In the past night, his life signs must have been in critical condition, but it was not a big problem. The intermediate level of the Golden Power made him feel a leap in his soul and strengthened his golden bloodline.

He was gradually shaping himself into his past self, becoming brilliant and immortal.

Unless he got another the spiral fragment, he thought it would be difficult for him to die in this lifetime.

He closed his eyes again, although he really wanted to take a nap to replenish his energy, but the other matters still needed to be sorted out and concluded.

The Fourth Prince died, and the last safeguard of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom’s internal war was removed. The imperial court will unleash its true might.

The royal court won’t help Bai Ze Kingdom. The only way to save Bai Ze Kingdom is to help Bi Fang regain its country.

Nalan Qingshu is going to face the army of Lord Ba Xia, and the chances of winning are very slim.

If Bi Fang fails to regain its country, then Bai Ze Kingdom will be swallowed up this winter. It’s a chain reaction.

This small country really doesn’t have the strength and manpower to continue the war. Even the young and able-bodied may all die on the battlefield.

So, he can’t rest yet. He has to keep going until he achieves his ultimate goal.

"Let’s go eat something good when it’s all over," Bai Wei said to himself.

…

The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the puppets are still there.

Chao Lu sat by the bedside, holding his hand. The puppet’s hand was cold and had no warmth.

She knew he wasn’t here, a strong feeling of fear and unrest covered her.

Even though Ying Mu had emphasized multiple times that Bai Wei had won the battle of souls, she still couldn’t rest assured, still felt uneasy.

She was scared.

She was absolutely terrified.

The distance was too far, she and he were separated by a great distance, so far that she couldn’t be by his side, couldn’t take care of him. She didn’t even know how he was doing now. Because she didn’t know, she felt scared.

Even if there was only one percent reason for pessimism, it would be subjectively amplified to ninety-nine percent anxiety.

Chao Lu forcefully held back her tears, she didn’t want to continue being weak. Although she had tried her best to catch up, tried her best to make herself useful, she still couldn’t catch up to his figure. It was natural for the weak to be abandoned, but if she could only watch him get injured over and over again, she would rather be abandoned and freeze to death in this snowy world.

Ying Mu leaned against the windowsill, watching this scene, wanting to speak but hesitated, "You should go rest."

"I won’t go…" Chao Lu shook her head.

"Then you should at least clean yourself up. Look at you, covered in blood stains. How will he see you when he wakes up?"

Chao Lu paused for a moment, slowly realizing her appearance issue and hesitated.

"I don’t mind," the puppet suddenly said coldly.

Chao Lu’s eyes lit up, looking at Bai Wei. "Are you okay?"

"If I’m not okay, then who is talking to you right now, with artificial tears?" Bai Wei sat up, realizing he was lying on a bed, covered with a blanket. "I’m just a puppet, there’s no need to take care of me like this."

With a strong expression, Chao Lu’s face suddenly crumbled. She lowered her head and couldn’t help but shed tears.

Ying Mu grabbed her shoulder and led Princess Bai Ze out of the room. "I just heated up the bathwater for you. Go take a bath."

"Wait, I have something to say…"

"We’ll talk when you come back!" Ying Mu sent Chao Lu into the bathing room. After returning to the room, she faced Bai Wei and asked, "Can we…talk?"

Bai Wei readily agreed, "We should have a good chat."

After they arrived in the courtyard, it was Bai Wei who asked first, "What is this place?"

"The city we stayed in before, it’s relatively safe. Tie Futu died, and your reputation is spreading. Many assassins don’t dare to come near."

"Did you travel here overnight?"

"Yes, we are not in good condition, and we stumbled along the way." Ying Mu nodded.

"How much of your strength has recovered?"

"About seventy to eighty percent. The remaining injuries will take some time to heal," said Ying Mu.

"You didn’t eat the dragon ball of the black dragon?" Bai Wei asked.

"Devouring the same kind is a big taboo, so this dragon ball must be returned."

"Do you want to?"

"Reluctant." Ying Mu huffed coldly, "This North Sea Black Dragon treats me like a vegetable. Am I supposed to return his ashes? That makes no sense!"

"Then why don’t you eat it?"

"I find it dirty." Ying Mu said, "Plus, this is your trophy… I should just give it back to you."

"This blame game." Bai Wei shook his head and said, "The North Sea will cause troubles for me. Going back to the Ming Country will be a punishment."

"When you sigh, can you please hide your smile?" Ying Mu squinted her eyes.

"I don’t want to interfere in the Dragon Clan’s internal affairs." Bai Wei said, "When it goes to court, you have to testify for me."

"Don’t worry, if the Black Dragon causes trouble for you, I will help. My father is Lord Chaohu, from Huizhou, very close to the provincial capital Jinling City." Ying Mu said, then asked a curious question, "When did you recognize me? My appearance back then… was different."

Bai Wei shook his head, "I didn’t recognize you."

"But do you know who I am? If you don’t recognize me, my true self won’t wake up…"

"I asked Xue Hanlei," said Bai Wei. "Who is the missing dragon clan?"

"Is it really that simple?" Ying Mu asked with unwillingness.

"It’s just that simple," Bai Wei said in a calm tone. "Very simple."
