Abandoned Wife? Her Starlight Shall Blind You!-Chapter 149 - 91: Saved by Him Again

The atmosphere in the army camp grew increasingly suffocating, the low pressure making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Chunyu Che wore a faint smile on his face, looking calmly at Jun Moling, and slowly said, "Your Highness Prince Zhan, I am awake now."

Shen Ruoxi’s lips were pressed tightly together, her eyes full of resentment and helplessness.

What is this? A naked threat? In this way, how can she have a fair duel with Chunyu Che?

She knew in her heart that even if she won through her true strength, Beichang Country would probably spread rumors that he was afraid of retribution from their marshal, and that’s why he willingly died by her hand.

This was a great insult!

Seemingly seeing through Shen Ruoxi’s concerns, Chunyu Che’s voice was steady and firm, "Military Doctor Shen, please! I will not hold back, and I hope you don’t hold back either."

Since he said so, Shen Ruoxi bit her lip hard, squeezing out two words from between her teeth, "I accept."

Then, a group of people grandly left the military camp and came to an open space.

People on both sides stood still, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Jun Moling stood to the side, staring intently at the two opposing figures in the field, feeling his palms constantly sweating.

"Mi Yi, prepare the crossbow. If Ruoxi can’t defeat Chunyu Che, you shoot a cold arrow," Jun Moling lowered his voice and said to Mi Yi, his tone revealing a hint of urgency and harshness.

Mi Yi heard this, jumped in fright, and looked incredulously at his master.

Is this still the upright master who disdains using despicable means?

He even had the urge to tear off Jun Moling’s face to see if this was really the person he knew.

Seeing Mi Yi seemingly stunned, not replying immediately, Jun Moling’s eyes turned cold instantly, sternly warning, "Mi Yi."

Mi Yi came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes."

Jun Moling gave Mi Yi a cold glance and continued, "If this gets screwed up, you won’t live either."

Mi Yi trembled all over in fright and quickly responded again, "Yes, I will complete the mission without failure."

After saying that, he tensed his whole body, holding the crossbow and watching the changes in the field.

The envoys from Beichang Country felt a chill in their hearts. The only monarch who could save Beichang Country from disaster was about to die here; it seems heaven wants to destroy Beichang.

Today, Shen Ruoxi was dressed in ordinary clothes, but her waist was tightly bound, appearing sharp and agile.

She held the Dragon Roar Sword, standing quietly there, her clothes fluttering, full of heroic spirit.

Chunyu Che also held a treasure sword, standing opposite with an erect posture, exuding a graceful and refined demeanor.

He clasped his fists with both hands, slightly bowing, and said, "Military Doctor Shen, please."

Without politeness, Shen Ruoxi’s Dragon Roar Sword drew an arc in the air, making a clanging sound as it slashed toward Chunyu Che like lightning.

Chunyu Che dared not neglect, and his treasure sword met hers instantly, with their swords interweaving in a dazzling display.

In a matter of moments, they had exchanged more than a dozen moves.

As soon as Shen Ruoxi and Chunyu Che clashed, her heart skipped a beat.

She was always confident in her martial arts, with her master often praising her as a once-in-a-century talent, though always reminding her that there are always stronger people. She believed this herself.

After all, despite her playful nature and laziness in practicing, she was the most skilled martial artist among her senior brothers and sisters.

Yet this Chunyu Che, about her age, wielded the Meteor Sword with such impenetrable perfection, matching her martial skills, it was naturally surprising.

Chunyu Che was equally amazed. In Beichang Country, he was always praised as a young genius, almost unmatched within the country. Today, he was reduced to chaos by a girl, showing Shen Ruoxi was indeed extraordinary.

Only someone as fiercely spirited as Old Marquis Shen could raise such an outstanding daughter.

The moves he used were all feints, as only by killing him could he quell her hatred and bring real peace between the two nations.

As he was racking his brain on how to give her an opening to kill him, he suddenly heard the sound of an arrow splitting the air, heading straight for Shen Ruoxi’s vital spot.

Shen Ruoxi was momentarily stunned, the arrow swift as wind, too late to dodge...

Next came the sound of a sword piercing flesh, with Dragon Roar Sword thrusting into Chunyu Che’s shoulder, passing through in an instant.

Due to inertia, Chunyu Che quickly moved close to Shen Ruoxi with his body, blocking the deadly arrow with his flesh.

This sudden change in situation left everyone stunned, dumbfounded.

"You!" Shen Ruoxi widened her eyes, incredulously looking at Chunyu Che, who was almost leaning on her, spitting blood with fingers tightly clenched.

"Mi Yi," Jun Moling shouted through gritted teeth.

Mi Yi, looking at his untouched crossbow, was full of confusion, "Master, it wasn’t me."

Upon hearing it wasn’t Mi Yi’s doing, Jun Moling’s eyes narrowed sharply, "All soldiers hear my order, quickly surround the area, not even a fly is allowed to escape."

Before his words fell, he had darted like lightning to Shen Ruoxi’s side.

"Ruoxi."

Shen Ruoxi held the heavily bleeding Chunyu Che, standing there in a daze as if soulless.

"Shen Ruoxi, I’m sorry. Since the day I was born, I’ve been seen as an ominous person. As a prince, my mother and I suffered inhuman treatment.

In the Cold Palace, we depended on each other, and I never had a full meal, living worse than an ordinary eunuch.

Fortunately, fate gave me a chance; I met my master, who taught me martial arts since childhood.

When I was thirteen, I finally got redress, for it turned out that it was the Imperial Concubine in the palace and the Astronomical Bureau that had slandered my mother and me.

I thought from then on, I could live peacefully, but who knew, not long after, my father believed slander and wanted to attack your Dayi Country.

I opposed it strongly, but my voice carried no weight.

Then my father, knowing about my extraordinary martial arts, imprisoned my mother to threaten me.

My mother is my life; I dare not imagine what I’d become without her.

I’m sorry, though I didn’t personally kill your family, they indeed died because of me.

I hope after my death, all grievances will end, and our two countries can have everlasting peace."

After saying these words with unusual clarity, Chunyu Che could no longer support himself and spit out blood violently, sliding down instantly.

"Chunyu Che!" Shen Ruoxi shouted while biting her lip.

In her dreams, she had killed him countless times, but he saved her twice.

Once in the shimmering lake center, and once a moment ago at a critical moment.

"Your Highness!" Chunyu Che’s subordinates hurriedly came, surrounding him, who was on the brink of death, tears streaming down like rain.

In all of Beichang, he was the only one who sincerely cared for the people, yet now he was in such a plight.

"Do not blame anyone; this is the price we must pay for invading other countries, and we have to thoroughly reflect and admit our mistakes..." Chunyu Che’s voice became increasingly weak, almost inaudible.

Shen Ruoxi had never thought that the only remaining Condensing Spirit Pill, which she treasured dearly, would be fed into Chunyu Che’s mouth at this moment.

She appeared somewhat lost in a trance, murmuring to Jun Moling, "Marshal, my father, my brother, my uncle, and the twenty thousand soldiers of the Shen Family Army, will they rest in peace? I actually saved the chief commander of Beichang Country who caused their deaths."

Jun Moling’s heart ached fiercely, softly saying, "Ruoxi, they won’t blame you, truly, he isn’t the real killer of your family."

"Your Excellency Marshal, the villain who shot the cold arrow at Military Doctor Shen has been captured!"

Jun Moling’s ear suddenly caught a soldier’s report.
