60 -57: Nightmare Incubus, Forceful Kiss!
Compared to the Shadow Spider Queen, it was the title of Black Widow that truly struck terror into the entire Southern Frontier.
Because of her name, no warrior from the kingdoms dared to kill members of the Snake Tribe.
For she was the most poisonous, the most beautiful, the most mysterious, and the most terrifying.
Those who had ever killed members of the Snake Tribe were all exterminated, their entire families wiped out in the most tragic and horrifying manner.
In legend, the Black Widow had countless faces, each one impossibly beautiful and captivating.
But no one knew her true face, for all the men who had seen her had died.
Her favorite thing was to suck the blood of men, especially that of handsome ones.
She was the nightmare of the entire Southern Frontier, the nightmare of all human warriors, the nightmare of all handsome men.
Who would have thought she would set her sights on him?
When did she start targeting him?
“Let’s go, my dear little husband, we shall return to the tribe and prepare for our wedding ceremony,” the Black Widow Meng Tuoluo cooed, “I’m getting so hungry that I could groan.”
This line sounded so familiar.
Now Lanling finally understood why hundreds of warriors from the Snake Tribe had come to capture him.
No sooner had the Black Widow whistled than a ferocious-looking beast, running at incredible speed, rushed toward them from the distance.
Grasping Lanling, she lightly glided onto the beast’s back and sped towards the deep mountains to the southwest.
“Sleep well, my dear husband; we’ll be home before you know it,” Meng Tuoluo whispered, her little tongue gently licking Lanling’s face.
“Once we’re home, we’ll have our wedding ceremony.
You’re so handsome; your blood must be incredibly sweet.
I can hardly wait.”
With her kiss, a strange scent wafted into Lanling’s nose, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.
The Black Widow Meng Tuoluo, with Lanling in tow, raced towards the direction of the Snake Tribe.
…
Meanwhile, within the Wangcheng Zidu of the Rage Wave Kingdom.
“Your Highness the Commandery Princess, the minor rebellion covertly initiated by the lords of the Tianshui City Territory has been suppressed by Lord Suo Hanyi,” a eunuch reported in a low voice.
“How many men did Suo Hanyi take?
Why didn’t Heavenly Water Main City take the chance to rise into chaos?” Zhi Ning asked.
“Lord Suo Hanyi took just three hundred men out of the city to quell the rebellion, traveling hundreds of miles to eliminate thousands of rebels completely…” the eunuch said.
Surprised, Zhi Ning remarked, “His military talents are truly exceptional, a rare breed of talent indeed.”
“Yes,” the eunuch replied, “Even considering the whole kingdom, he stands out as exceedingly remarkable.”
Zhi Ning said, “Such a capable man, is he truly loyal to the Suo Family even to death?
The Suo Family is destined for destruction.” freeweɓnovel.cѳm
“We have tried to bribe Suo Hanyi with power, beauty, and wealth, but all attempts have failed,” the eunuch explained.
“It’s probably a sense of proprietorship.
In Suo Hanyi’s heart, he sees himself as the very pillar of the Suo Family, so he’s not really serving them; he’s serving himself.”
“That’s right, indeed it is so,” Zhi Ning agreed.
“Why do Nurdan and the others only dare to provoke rebellion from behind?
Why don’t they take up arms against the Suo Family themselves?”
“Probably because they are afraid, fearing that we might fully utilize them and then discard them,” the eunuch said.
“If they revolt now, their value to us is still quite significant.
Once Suo Lun dies, their value disappears,” Zhi Ning said indifferently.
“Now, Suo Lun should be close to death, right?
That twisted woman Meng Tuoluo detests men like Suo Lun who repeatedly abandon women the most.”
…
Inside the Earldom mansion in Heavenly Water Main City, Suo Ningbing, the older sister, lived each day as if it was a year, counting the days on her fingers.
With each day that passed, she would draw a line on a piece of white paper, counting down the days until Lanling’s safe return.
In fact, the first thing she would do every morning was wait for the sun to set, marking another day gone by, another day closer to Lanling’s safe return.
Moreover, she became like a frightened bird, tensing up with fear at every footstep from outside, dreading bad news.
Just like several months before, when Ye Jingyu brought the tragic news about Suo Lun.
Back then, because Lanling was there—not by blood, but dear as a brother—Suo Ningbing managed to barely hold on.
But if news of Lanling’s demise were to arrive, she would not hesitate a minute before picking up a dagger to thrust into her heart.
Her tender soul simply could not withstand another devastation.
As if to fulfill her fears, a rush of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
Suo Ningbing’s body trembled, her heart seized with fear, muscles tense, bracing for terrible news.
“Miss?” the anxious voice of a maid came from outside.
With her heart in her throat, Suo Ningbing asked in a trembling voice, “What…
What’s the matter?”
Her voice had completely changed.
The maid outside asked with concern, “Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing’s wrong with me.
Just tell me, has something happened to Suo Lun?” Suo Ningbing asked, shivering.
“No, it’s Lord Suo Hanyi who has come,” said the maid from outside.
It wasn’t that Lanling had any trouble, so Suo Ningbing immediately caught her breath, her whole body relaxing, then she realized her back was soaked through with sweat.
Then, she gently wiped the sweat from her back, neck, and face with a damp towel, freshened up, and went to see Suo Hanyi.
…
“Big brother, what happened in Tianshui City?” Suo Ningbing asked Suo Hanyi as soon as she saw him.
At that moment, Suo Hanyi’s handsome face looked even more haggard, his face bearing deep fatigue and his eye sockets were somewhat sunken.
There were also traces of battle on his armor.
But he still stood incredibly straight and tall, his gaze as sharp and cold as the stars.
“Recently, there were some isolated rebellions that have already been suppressed,” Suo Hanyi said.
“Which samurai lords rebelled?” Suo Ningbing asked.
“Those samurai lords haven’t openly rebelled yet.
They were secretly manipulating a group of bandits, creating a small-scale rebellion of a few thousand people,” Suo Hanyi said: “It was completely quelled in less than half a month.”
No wonder Suo Hanyi appeared so tired, with signs of battle all over him.
After that, Suo Hanyi’s gaze firmly fixed on Suo Ningbing, a flash of deep affection and passion in his eyes, he couldn’t help but say, “Little Bing, you’ve lost weight.”
In the time after Lanling left, Suo Ningbing lived each day like a year and had no appetite, so she obviously lost weight.
“I’m okay, but you really have lost weight, big brother,” said Suo Ningbing with concern.
“I’m perfectly fine as a big man,” Suo Hanyi laughed heartily: “Those samurai lords don’t dare to step forward themselves, they can only secretly organize some cannon fodder to rebel.
I led just a few hundred men and crushed their forces completely.”
Indeed, the high-ranking samurai lords in Tianshui City had secretly organized a force, acting in the guise of bandits to cause chaos, attempting to lure the majority of the main force from Heavenly Water Main City for suppression, to create a void in Heavenly Water Main City, achieving a diversion and striking from an unexpected direction.
However, Suo Hanyi only took hundreds of men out of the city to suppress them, while Heavenly Water Main City still had tens of thousands of troops.
And with just these few hundred soldiers, Suo Hanyi obliterated all of these thousands of rebels in less than half a month.
In both military strategy and martial arts, Suo Hanyi was one in ten thousand.
But over the past half month, Suo Hanyi hadn’t slept, relentlessly campaigning hundreds of miles across the Tianshui City Territory without a good night’s sleep.
And after the turmoil was put down, before he could rest, he immediately made the arduous journey to Wangcheng Zidu to fully understand the reality of the situation there.
Suo Hanyi asked, “Little Bing, why did His Majesty issue this new decree that only nobles and holders of the samurai medal can inherit titles?
Tell me everything in detail.”
So, Suo Ningbing detailed the matter of her bribing Duke Zhi Ting.
“Duke Zhi Ting took a clear stand with our Suo Family against Prince Zili, leading to very fierce debates within the royal family and the cabinet,” said Suo Ningbing: “Later, many noble officials started choosing sides, and there were even rumors that Prince Zili’s position as heir was unstable.
So the King issued this decree to quell the debates.”
Suo Hanyi closed his eyes in pain and said, “His Majesty is using Tianshui City as cannon fodder, signaling his unwavering support for Prince Zili.”
“Where is that wastrel Suo Lun?” Suo Hanyi looked around.
“He and Jingyu went south to practice archery,” said Suo Ningbing.
“Hmph…” Suo Hanyi sneered: “He’s clearly running away to waste and cause trouble again.
That’s no archery practice.
And with just over two months left until the great exam, he wouldn’t improve much even if he were a genius, let alone when he’s just a profligate wastrel.”
Hearing Suo Hanyi speak about Suo Lun like that, Suo Ningbing felt unhappy and lifted her head, “Big brother, he really has changed.”
“He’s just putting on an act in front of you,” Suo Hanyi said.
He had wanted to say that a leopard can’t change its spots, but seeing Suo Ningbing’s unhappy expression, he stopped himself from saying it.
Taking a deep breath, Suo Hanyi said, “Little Bing, don’t worry, you still have me, your big brother.
Remember, no one dreams of taking Tianshui City from us, unless they step over my dead body.”
Suo Hanyi said these words with utmost sincerity and passion.
Suo Ningbing’s heart trembled, and looking up she said, “Big brother, thank you.”
“You’re talking nonsense again,” Suo Hanyi’s eyes reddened as he said: “I will never forget the scene of our father pulling my hand out of the dark, stinking thatched hut more than twenty years ago.
That was my rebirth.
I can’t forget, that on his deathbed, he still held my hand, repeatedly entrusting me, handing over you and Suo Lun to me.”
As he spoke, the scene once again flashed in Suo Hanyi’s mind, and he tilted his head back, fighting to keep his tears from falling.
“Although my adoptive father wasn’t my biological father, he was better than one,” stated Suo Hanyi, word by word: “Although Suo Lun is quite a mess and not on good terms with me, as the big brother, it’s my duty to protect you, even if it costs me my life!”
Suo Ningbing could not help but be moved and said, “Big brother, you will always be my real brother.”
As she spoke these words, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, making her look even more stunning and pitiable.
Suo Hanyi already harbored deep admiration for her, and seeing her so touching and pitiable at that moment, emotion overwhelmed him, and he suddenly stepped forward extending his hand to embrace Suo Ningbing, his voice trembling, “No, I don’t want to be just your big brother.
Little Bing, let me take care of you, let me look after you for life.”
Caught off guard, he had suddenly confessed his feelings.
Startled, Suo Ningbing instinctively put up her hands to prevent Suo Hanyi from embracing her.
“Little Bing, everything I’ve done, I did it for you, all for you!” he claimed passionately.
At that moment, an overwhelmingly emotional Suo Hanyi almost lost his reason and leaned forward to kiss Suo Ningbing’s lips fiercely.
