Chapter 117: Puppet Army 3

"Who do you think you are?" Shunde hovered in the air with her body wrapped in a green aura. She floated in the middle of the boundary fire, but the flames did not hurt her in the least bit.

On top of the city walls, people's faces all changed. Kongming subconsciously pulled Luo Jinsang over to his side in order to protect her, but with a turn of the head, Luo Jinsang vanished from sight. Kongming did not have the time to go find her, and just cautiously stared at Princess Shunde.

The powers of the Grand Master and Qing Ji were too strong. In front of Shunde, their efforts of laying down a boundary had turned into a joke. Her hair danced wildly in the wind like an evil ghost from hell.

"I should have killed you long ago." Ji Yunhe smiled as she stood up.

"It's just a pity that you were never able to, and you still can't." Shunde grew even more furious. As she summoned the wind and blasted out another strike, Ji Yunhe turned around and ran.

"Trying to escape?"

Shunde followed in pursuit, all the way to the snowy mountains in the north. And the puppet soldiers rushed in through the boundary left broken by Shunde's passage. The battle turned chaotic.

"Luo Jinsang!"

Kongming called out her name. He had told her not to follow him to the border. She was already injured from back in the side hall, how much help could she possibly be?

"You will just cause more trouble!"

Kongming grumbled with frustration when a sword suddenly came at him from behind. He turned around and raised his hand to block it, but when he saw the attacker, he froze.

Ji Chengyu... His brother.

He had not seen him for so many years. When he left the Grand Master's house a decade ago, he guessed that they might one day be on opposite sides of the fence, but he never thought it would be like this -- facing an already dead and manipulating Ji Chengyu.

Ji Chengyu abruptly made a move while Kongming stood there frozen, his speed was faster than the monk could react. Just as the sword was about to enter Kongming's chest, it stopped.

Kongming looked at the sword, and saw a few drops of blood inexplicably seep out of its tip, slowly dripping to the ground by his feet. And a person faded into view. It was the invisible Luo Jinsang...

"I... I did not cause more trouble."

The black fox fire on the edge of the city wall swept through and scattered all the puppets around them. Kongming took her into his arms and lowered her to the ground while pressing against the wound on her chest.

"Shut up." He held her tightly.

"I was going to go help Yunhe, but she is smarter than you, so I'll save you first..." Luo Jinsang did not shut up.

"I'm your savior now, you have to be reasonable and repay me... Promise your body to me."

Kongming lost what little bit of calm he had.

"You shut up!"

She had a hole in her chest, she should not be talking.

"Are you going to promise me? If you don't, then I will just die like this. If you do, I will try to hang on a little. I..." Luo Jinsang still refused to shut up. Kongming pressed tightly against her wound.

"Your chest has a hole in it! Will you shut up and stop talking?! I promise! Now shut up!"

Luo Jinsang grinned, "Remember your promise… When the battle is over, you will marry me..."

Her voice gradually faded and her eyes closed. Kongming felt his throat tighten and every breath turned into a struggle. He held Luo Jinsang's wrist to feel her pulse...

Weak...

But fortunately, it was still there.
