Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 198 - Working Together to Break the Array [1]

“Be careful, YouYou. I’m going to set those ugly things on fire.” Shangguan LingRan quietly spoke to Zi You. Then he clapped his palms together. Two red clouds emerged and soon turned into two fiery flames. One flew towards the poisonous bees coming in the sky. One flew towards the poisonous snakes, scorpions, and other creatures on the ground.

Hissing from something burning sounded. Then a burnt smell wafted over.

They watched as the poisonous bees fall. The originally neatly lined poisonous snakes, scorpions, and insects began to flee every which way on the ground.

However, other than some large snakes that quickly slithered away, most of the poisonous creatures were burned to death.

The Mu army was also victorious in their second confrontation.

Darong Ka was originally still boasting to Guoji Weiza. “You can rest assured this time. Those are spiritual poisonous creatures. As long as I keep chanting, they will keep on attacking. If they can’t bite those Hans, then they will scare them to death.”

He was correct on this point. The 2,000 soldiers in the Mu army were indeed scared with numb scalps when they saw so many dense rows of poisonous creatures.

But they were soon protected by spiritual Qi. Then they saw the poisonous creatures burned to death. They weren’t scared anymore, but were happy instead. They were pleasantly surprised!

Those poisonous creatures did have spirituality. However, at this time, they were first attacked by Zi You’s spiritual power. Then they were burned by Shangguan LingRan’s fire until their souls scattered. So, could they still follow Darong Ka’s commands? They desperately tried to escape and bit everyone, regardless of who it was.

More than twenty tribesmen were bitten to death. Those poisonous snakes especially, were burned until they went crazy. They bit people crazily and desperately injected their venom.

Darong Ka was still boasting until his spit flew and sprayed onto Guoji Weiza’s face.

At this time, Guoji Weiza’s servant ran inside and shouted anxiously, “This is bad, Leader! Those poisonous creatures were burned to death, but they also bit our people.”

“What?” Darong Ka and Guoji Weiza both jumped up like their buttocks were on fire.

Darong Ka was ashen as he shook his head. “Impossible! I don’t believe it. My poisonous creatures!”

He had to expend a lot of effort to train so many creatures. Did you think that it was easy? But all of them were dead now!

“You – You big liar!” Guoji Weiza glared angrily at him.

Darong Ka didn’t send out one soldier and instigated him to stage a rebellion. If there were any casualties, they were his tribesmen, family, and guards.

The two people went out anxiously. They saw five or six poisonous snakes, which had been burned until blood and flesh were showing, slither inside. They glared at the men, as if they were denouncing them for their crimes. “F*ck! You two are hiding here and make us fight for you. Can you see it? Can you see our miserable states from being burned?”

The snakes stared at them. Darong Ka was fine. After all, he often interacted with these poisonous creatures.

However, although Guoji Weiza often saw these creatures, he would either kill them or avoid them. He was really afraid of these poisonous creatures.

Now that the snakes were staring at him, he felt his goosebumps rise! He hid behind Darong Ka. “Get them outside. This is too……”

He hadn’t finished speaking when the snakes rushed over.

This time, not only Guoji Weiza, but even Darong Ka was scared into his soul scattered. He was a shaman, so of course he knew how strong a snake’s desire for vengeance was. These snakes obviously hated him and wanted to bite him!

Guoji Weiza was scared and used Darong Ka as a shield to block the poisonous snakes. Darong Ka still had some ability. He pulled out some powder. The few snakes screamed miserably and eventually stopped moving.

This scene scared Guoji Weiza into anger. His liver trembled from his anger. He pointed to Darong Ka and scolded, “You big liar! I listened to you and invaded the tribes to provoke a war. Didn’t you say that you want to help me ascend to the King’s throne? Didn’t you say that Great Yan’s Taizi and Empress said that they would get rid of our annual tribute to Great Yan as long as I am the King? Didn’t you say that you can withstand Great Yan’s army?

“Look at the situation now. Great Yan’s army is here, but you are useless. You liar. I’m going to expose your lying face to everyone in Nanjiang.”

“Shut up!” Darong Ka was angry at him calling him a “liar” again and again His small eyes widened. “What are you anxious for? Isn’t there still the Black Wind Magic Array waiting for them? They won’t be able to break the array.”

As soon as Guoji Weiza heard him say “Black Wind Magic Array,” he immediately sat back down in his chair. Huh. The great shaman was proficient in all sorts of divination and magic techniques. Those Han people certainly could not break the shaman’s magical illusionary array.

The Great Yan army won the previous two times because they had the help of that foreign woman Dier. As a result, they lost very miserably and had no choice but to capitulate.

Now…… Darong Ka said that that Dier was dead. Her daughter was coming here, but how old was she? The great shaman had cultivated for so many years. So how could he be afraid of a silly little girl?

Darong Ka’s Black Wind Magic Array was really extraordinary! It was the array that Darong Ka was the proudest of. Once the mechanism was triggered, countless black winds would blow from all sides, bringing with them strange screams and flying sand and branches. It was very terrifying.

And constant illusions of ghosts, demons, beautiful women, and animals would appear. True or false. Real or fake. If it looked fake, it would sometimes be real. If it looked real, it would sometimes be fake. The people who were trapped in the array would become nervous and delirious from these illusions.

Other than the traps in the array, there were other elemental and divinatory trigram techniques. This towering creation was very vicious! All righteous gentlemen despised it.

Zi You and Shangguan LingRan looked at it and turned solemn.

Zi You immediately said to her uncle, “Uncle, I’m going to break the array. You and LingRan wait here. If I don’t get out in six hours, you withdraw to Dali. Find a way to get Weishali to India and bring my great-grandmother here to save me.”

“I forbid it!” Shangguan LingRan looked overbearingly at Zi You and roared. “Don’t even think about going alone to break the array. No matter what, I will be with you.”

“LingRan.” Zi You softly persuaded, “I want you to protect grandfather and uncle. Besides, if something happens to me, I still need you to avenge me.”

“You’re doing this again.” Shangguan LingRan was really angry this time. “Why is it that you have to rush in the front every time? Why do I have to protect grandfather and uncle? Can protecting them replace you? And have you ever thought about how I will feel if I lose you? It would be better if I die then. Do you understand?”

Zi You was suddenly stunned silly! She looked stunned at the angry Shangguan LingRan. His angry expression and the pain in his phoenix eyes couldn’t be fake.

She couldn’t help but think of the assassination attempt in the mountains. Swords flashed and stabbed again and again, but they were blocked each time by Shangguan LingRan. If he couldn’t block it, then he would use his body to block for her. He rather get sliced and stabbed, but wouldn’t let her get hurt……

Zi You’s heart was stifled. In her previous life, she had fantasized about a man to only trust and respect her. She had never dared to expect that someone would be wholehearted towards her.

In this life, she had originally planned to be alone for a lifetime, but she didn’t expect that she would meet Shangguan LingRan. And he not only loved her wholeheartedly, but he also treated her more importantly than his life.

All sorts of feelings welled up in Zi You’s heart! Fortunately, she did not push Shangguan LingRan away and was together with him instead.

Zi You looked deeply at Shangguan LingRan. For the first time, she clearly expressed her feelings. “LingRan, I know that you’re worried about me and don’t want me to get hurt. But whether it is now or after I marry you in the future, I am destined to be in a dangerous storm.

“How can I not be able to withstand wind, frost, rain, and snow if I am in such a position? I should not be afraid and should brave the dangers. I will find a path of survival where the wind and waves are the strongest.

“Trust me. I am not a flower in a greenhouse. I can cope with all sorts of difficulties and dangers, but I really, really cherish my life. That’s because I know that if I’m hurt or dead, you, grandfather, and uncle will wish that you are dead. I’m not stupid enough to let myself leave you all.”

Shangguan LingRan froze. He was suddenly speechless.

Indeed, YouYou was never a flower in a greenhouse. She was not only intelligent, but she had outstanding ability to defeat all her enemies. But…… But he wished that she could live a life in peace and joy without using her abilities. He hoped that he could block all the wind, frost, snow, and rain for her, so that she could live in a greenhouse without being harmed by the outside world.

He hoped that the girl whom he liked didn’t need to work hard to use her intelligence and spiritual power, but could still smile wholeheartedly and rely naively and innocently on him, like how other girls rely on their husbands……

However, he looked into Zi You’s firm and calm eyes and listened to her gentle and decisive words. Different emotions surged in his heart.

Perhaps he was wrong…… Zi You was never a canary in a golden cage. She would never passively wait for people’s charity, mercy, protection, or understanding. She was intelligent and keen and had insight. She used her own ability to overcome all sorts of difficulties and obstacles. No matter how bad the situation was, she would do her best to fight and never give up.

Perhaps only an extraordinary Zi You like this could move him.

That was because he and she were both struggling. They used their own intelligence and strength to carve open a path for themselves without giving up! The process was bitter. Every step that they took was full of sweat and tears, but it was also bittersweet because they succeeded on their own. Although their hardships were arduous, they had faith that they could carve out a future for themselves and work towards a beautiful future.

People said that ‘It was dangerous to look for riches and honor.’ Actually, it wasn’t only wealth. There were a lot of things to fight for, such as freedom, security, and survival.

“I want to protect my loved ones and myself. In order to live happily and for a long time in the future, I have to face these dangers!” Zi You lightly smiled. “If you’re worried, then we’ll do everything together, not as allies, but as lovers!”

Zi You had never explicitly said to him that she would marry him and face everything with him.

Even though he knew that Zi You had accepted him, it was still different for her to say it out loud to him.

Shangguan LingRan was ecstatic! He couldn’t suppress his smile. His magnificent phoenix eyes were brighter than the stars. He went over and rubbed her head. He spoke with 10% blame and 90% doting and love. “That’s more like it. I know that you can do it, but you should let your husband, me, have some self-esteem, so that I know that you depend on me.”

Because Mu YingYi was there, Zi You was embarrassed and pushed Shangguan LingRan away. She stomped her feet bashfully. “Hateful! You always want an inch after taking a mile.”

Mu YingYi was very gratified to see them arguing and reconciling in the blink of an eye. “You’er, LingRan is right. You can’t take on all the danger yourself. Also, you have to discuss things together. You can’t act alone. That is very unfair to LingRan.”

Zi You nodded. She looked at the men and said, “I know, but I don’t want you to be in danger. I’m not sure that I can break the Black Wind Magic Array. If I let him come with me, if something happens to him, I……”

“Why do you have no confidence in your future husband?” Shangguan LingRan knew that Zi You was worried about his safety, but his heart still surged with sweetness when he heard her say it out loud.

He went over and held Zi You’s hand. He said affectionately and domineeringly, “Follow behind me this time and watch me break the array. I don’t believe that a tiny Black Wind Magic Array will block our way. Take a break first and restore your spiritual power. I will break the array with you.”

Zi You didn’t object this time. She nodded. She was as well-behaved as a kitten as she listened to Shangguan LingRan’s arrangements.

She had been using her spiritual power nonstop. Her spiritual power had indeed gradually weakened. Shangguan LingRan was clearly thinking about her safety. He wanted her to use her peak physical state to break the array.

The two of them had a full meal and cultivated for a while. They also regained some energy and stood up holding hands.

Zi You pretended to smile easily at Mu YingYi. “Wait for me to come back, uncle.”

Shangguan LingRan didn’t have his usual devilishly charming smile, but he was still so handsome and cool that it would cause outrage.
