99: Chapter 99 Are you selling this dog?

After the Talent Night Banquet.

Within a few days, Princess Yunxi, with the help of Marquis Zhenbei, had purged the remnants of Great General Cao Kun, thus ending the coup completely.

Towards the rebellious officials, Princess Yunxi showed no mercy, instituting a massive slaughter.

In those days, she had hundreds of Yun Country officials executed.

As for the Cao Family, they were exterminated to the ninth degree of kinship.

Throughout the Cloud Country Capital, a bloody storm raged.

And after suppressing the rebels, Princess Yunxi officially ascended the throne.

She became the Empress of Yun Country.

“So quickly she has purged the rebels, it seems that Princess Yunxi is not the delicate woman we imagined,”

In the Imperial City’s Wangyue Building, Lin Yi, listening to fellow diners discuss Princess Yunxi’s deeds, could not help but sigh.

Perhaps, the death of the Brother had struck Princess Yunxi deeply.

“I wonder how this youngster Bai Xiu is handling his affairs.”

Now that the situation in Yun Country had stabilized, it was time to discuss the matter of borrowing troops to strike back at Shi Country.

Given their great contributions to quelling the revolt, the Empress of Yun Country should have no reason to refuse them.

Just as Lin Yi was pondering,

A fragrant breeze suddenly interrupted his thoughts at his table.

To his surprise, a devastatingly beautiful woman had taken a seat opposite him!

When Lin Yi finally saw clearly the woman’s face, he almost spit out his tea.

This devastating beauty was none other than Princess Yunxi, the current Empress of Yun Country!

Only now she was dressed in casual clothes, thus not attracting attention from others.

“This youngster Bai Xiu…”

Lin Yi’s expression slightly darkened; ultimately, this youngster had sold him out!

“Don’t blame Bai Xiu; it was I who told him that I needed to meet you personally before agreeing to lend you troops.”

Yun Xi stared at Lin Yi and questioned, “Why did you run?”

“Am I very ugly?”

Lin Yi shook his head, “Not at all, quite the contrary, you’re very beautiful!”

“Then why do you refuse to be the Prince Consort?”

Yun Xi frowned slightly.

“Because I am used to being a free spirit and do not want to be tied down,”

Lin Yi was bluntly honest, “Of course, if Your Majesty wishes, we could consider a one-night affair, what do you think?”

“Absolutely not!”

Yun Xi, angered, slammed the table, “What do you take me for?”

“You scoundrel!”

Being called a scoundrel didn’t anger Lin Yi; instead, he responded lightly, “Then don’t be smitten with me, treat me as a legend!”

His mention of a one-night affair was just a pretext to dissuade Yun Xi.

Yet one thing Lin Yi couldn’t understand was why he was so popular; everywhere he went there were beauties wanting to keep him, to live a life of marital bliss.

“Since you don’t wish to marry me, fine, I won’t force you!”

It seemed Yun Xi had already anticipated Lin Yi’s refusal; she didn’t get angry, but instead suggested smoothly, “But you must do another thing for me as compensation.”

“Compensation for not marrying you?”

Lin Yi looked dumbfounded, “What kind of logic is that?”

“I don’t care, you broke the agreement, naturally, you should compensate.”

Yun Xi pouted.

“If you refuse, then forget about the military aid.”

Saying that, she stood up to leave.

“Let’s hear it then.”

Lin Yi, with arms crossed, spoke indifferently.

Yun Xi’s eyes brightened, “I want you to accompany me to the Yun Country Imperial Family’s Forbidden Land!”

“The Forbidden Land?”

Lin Yi’s pupils slightly constricted, “Being a forbidden area of the Yun Country Imperial Family, can a foreigner like me just enter?”

“Haven’t you already received my permission?”

Yun Xi said indifferently, “Now that I am the Emperor of Yun Country, I have the right to allow anyone I choose to enter.”

“Why don’t you take Marquis Zhenbei in?”

Lin Yi questioned, “I merely got lucky and defeated the Blood Demon.

You can’t possibly think that I truly possess the power to rival a True Master?”

“Marquis Zhenbei is too old, he doesn’t meet the requirements of the Forbidden Land.”

Yun Xi shook her head, “Only those under thirty years of age qualify to enter.”

“My Yun Family ancestor once instructed that if our family should ever weaken, the most talented among the younger generation may attempt to enter the Forbidden Land to seek our ancestor’s heritage and revive the Imperial Family.”

“Why didn’t your brother go in?”

“Gaining the inheritance is not easy.

He went in but failed.”

Yun Xi’s pretty face turned serious, “And the repercussions of failure are significant, his cultivation has nearly stalled and he has had difficulty making any progress.”

“But it’s not like he came out empty-handed.”

“The self-destructive technique that he used, which destroys both the user and enemy like Cao Kun, was obtained from the Forbidden Land.”

Lin Yi was speechless.

A failed inheritance, halted cultivation, and they gave him a self-destructive technique?

That Yun Family ancestor was rather harsh on his descendants!

“Once you fail, you’re broken, and the repercussions are so severe…this trip seems quite risky…”

“That’s why I need you to accompany me.”

Yun Xi said, “My talents aren’t sufficient, which is why I need to use your talents.”

“In the Forbidden Land of the Yun Country Royal Family, there lies a great opportunity, how about it, do you want to give it a try with me?”

“Let’s give it a try!”

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate at all and agreed immediately.

Firstly, he had no choice but to agree since Yun Xi would not lend them troops otherwise.

Secondly, although the Forbidden Land was extremely risky, the challenges and opportunities coexisted, making it worth exploring.

“Then follow me.”

Yun Xi did not expect Lin Yi’s readiness, “Don’t you need to prepare anything?”

“No need.”

Lin Yi waved his hand, “I just need to bring a dog.”

“Bring a dog, for what?”

Yun Xi was stunned.

This wasn’t a stroll in the park, why bring a dog?

“It’s this one.”

Lin Yi pointed to Little Jin beside him, “The Fourth-stage Array Formation that severely injured the Blood Demon was set up by it.”

“What, a dog that understands array formations?”

Yun Xi looked at Little Jin incredulously, “Is this the legendary Array Formation Dog?”

“Little girl, you’re just ignorant.”

Little Jin glanced at Yun Xi with pride, “I’m not just any Array Formation Dog.”

“I’m also an Engraving Dog, Artifact Refining Dog, Alchemy Dog…

ugh, what’s with all this ‘dog’ talk, I am the Divine Dog Venerable, don’t give me any casual nicknames!”

“This dog can talk?”

Yun Xi was even more shocked, her eyes now filled with intense interest as she turned to Lin Yi, “Are you selling this dog?”

“I’ll buy it!”

“What are you talking about?”

Lin Yi argued righteously, “Little Jin is my brother.

Have you ever seen anyone sell their own brother?”

“Kid, I didn’t expect you to have such a loyal and righteous side.”

Little Jin looked at Lin Yi with a touch of sentiment in his eyes.

Yun Xi said, “I’ll offer ten million.”

“I’ll consider it.”

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

“Damn it!”

Little Jin showed disgust, “It’s the familiar flavor again.

Empress, I’ve decided to change my master and follow you from now on!”

Upon seeing Little Jin’s desire to desert him, Lin Yi immediately said, “My dog is quite lecherous, and it likes to peep at beauties taking baths!”
