She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 163 He Coldly Sets Boundaries

Zhao Bingyang just died like that?

Jie Chen masked his emotions as he made his move, and just as coldly, he pulled out his sword.

With a flick of his wrist, blood drops spurted out, branding the snow-covered ground with a series of red marks.

Xiang Ying couldn’t help but say, "You should have left him for me to kill."

Jie Chen gave her a glance, his tone extremely indifferent.

"You can go and give a coup de grâce, as you please."

Having said that, he turned and sharply reprimanded Skinny Monkey and the others, ordering them to tally the remaining soldiers and see how many prisoners of war there were.

A trace of inexplicable emotion rose in Xiang Ying’s heart.

She had said that once this was over, he would remain the Deputy General, and she would still be Xiang Ying.

But Jie Chen’s speed at drawing boundaries was ridiculously fast, catching her completely off guard.

Tao Xue darted to Xiang Ying’s side and asked with confusion, "Elder Princess, why does the Vice General look so unhappy? Did he hit you below?"

Xiang Ying coughed lightly, "No, don’t talk nonsense."

The hitting wasn’t of that sort.

She then instructed Lu Feiyi to summon the Seventh Princess to tally the number of water bandits.

And if there were any usable weapons on the ground, they should pick them up; there was no sense in wasting them.

They might be of use on the road ahead.

After Lu Feiyi nodded, he turned and left.

It was only then that Xiang Ying asked Tao Xue, "What exactly happened afterwards?"

Upon Tao Xue’s recount, Xiang Ying learned of the events.

Her entire family had put forth considerable effort to win the battle against Prince Xuan.

Firstly, it was she, Xiang Ying, who killed Prince Xuan. Upon seeing their leader fallen, the remainder of Xuan’s troops fell into disarray and great panic.

Xiang Yuanlang summoned six or seven Snow Beasts to feast contentedly.

Xiang Xiuxiu, wielding a large tree in her hands, swept across the battlefield without regard for friend or foe, inflicting the most casualties.

Certainly, the young Xiang Yuanshuo was not idle either.

He cursed Prince Xuan’s remaining troops, warning that if they refused to surrender, they would be decapitated and become food for the Snow Beasts.

Thus, the outcome was as Xiang Ying had already witnessed with her own eyes.

The ground was covered in blood, but there were no severed limbs.

The Snow Beasts had fed well and even dragged away many corpses of Prince Xuan’s soldiers to nourish their young.

The rest were buried on the spot by Skinny Monkey and his men.

After the conflict, they immediately divided into two teams, surrounding the mountains and calling out loud for the names of Xiang Ying and Jie Chen.

In the end, it was Xiang Yuanlang who found an eagle and somehow communicated with it; in any case, it was the eagle that eventually helped locate Xiang Ying and her group.

Through this incident, the abilities of the three children were seen by some.

Xiang Ying then took the three little ones to a secluded, uninhabited place.

She carefully advised them, "Since you’ve been seen, you must be even more careful when using your abilities, and not let anyone take advantage of you, understand?"

The three children obediently nodded their heads.

But at that moment, Xiang Xiuxiu’s stomach made an ill-timed gurgling sound.

The little one quickly covered it, her face turning red: "Mother, it’s not my tummy..."

After speaking, she turned her back in a hurry, pointing at her stomach with her little finger, reprimanding it in a low voice for its misbehavior.

Although hungry, it was simply improper to cry out at a time like this, so unladylike.

Xiang Ying couldn’t help but laugh.

She took out an oil-paper wrapped package from her sleeve, and as she opened it, inside was a roasted duck.

The three children were completely dumbstruck.

Xiang Yuanlang asked, "Where did this come from?"

Wasn’t she just rescued from the foot of a cliff?

Xiang Ying indifferently said, "You are my children. Since you all have some special abilities, it’s natural that I have one too. My ability is... to produce various kinds of food whenever I want."

She couldn’t be too explicit, to avoid frightening the children.

She thought they might have a hard time accepting this skill, but to her surprise, after hearing about it, the children’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement.

Xiang Xiuxiu, holding the roasted duck, bounced around excitedly, "Big brother, second brother, I told you, mother must be no ordinary person!"

Previously, the three children were all afraid of their mother Xiang Ying discovering their abilities.

Because the children found that in the entire palace, it seemed only they were somewhat special.

If they did not want to arouse their mother’s displeasure, they could only hide their abilities.

But once they knew that Xiang Ying also had an extraordinary ability, the three little fellows completely let go of their worries.

They wouldn’t be abandoned by their mother for being too special!

Xiang Ying patted Xiang Xiuxiu’s head, and to show off her own formidable strength, she brought out two roast ducks.

"One each, definitely enough, eat at ease."

Xiang Xiuxiu thanked her mother and then immediately began gobbling down the food.

Xiang Ying knew her daughter’s habits.

Xiuxiu would become very hungry every time she used her strength.

But the little girl was very well-behaved and never actively asked for food.

So Xiang Ying couldn’t treat her unfairly.

Xiang Yuanshuo only ate one duck leg and didn’t want to eat anymore.

Xiang Yuanlang also didn’t eat, so the two roast ducks were both left for Xiang Xiuxiu.

The little girl’s cheeks blushed, her little mouth greasy as she ate.

She said shyly, "How could I, it’s too much for me to finish..."

After 15 minutes, there was a pile of duck bones on the ground, and Xiang Xiuxiu licked her fingers.

All three were finished.

Xiang Ying then took out a bottle of sweet milk and four lamb-stuffed baked buns.

Xiang Xiuxiu’s eyes sparkled as she reached out to take them.

If Xiang Ying didn’t really know she was hungry, she would be afraid her daughter would eat until bursting.

However, after finishing these foods, she felt Xiang Xiuxiu’s little belly.

It hadn’t grown at all.

Goodness, did this little girl have a bottomless stomach? Where did all the food go?

Xiang Xiuxiu, perhaps afraid that Xiang Ying would think she ate too much, quickly waved her little hands, still with traces of milk around her mouth.

"Mother, I’m full now, thank you~"

"Are you really full?"

"Mmm... If there were two more baked buns, that should be just about right."

Xiang Ying indeed took out two more.

Xiang Xiuxiu exclaimed, "Mother, you’re so amazing."

Xiang Ying laughed softly, "I might not have a lot, but I do have plenty of food. Remember you three, if you’re ever hungry, come find me for food, but we need to keep my ability a secret together from others, okay?"

The three little ones nodded their heads.

Xiang Yuanshuo asked, "Can’t we tell Tao Xue either?"

Xiang Ying paused.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Tao Xue, but Tao Xue had spent the longest time with the original owner of the body, so she was worried that telling her might scare the girl silly.

"Let’s not tell her for now."

After Xiang Xiuxiu finished eating, Xiang Ying then took the three of them back to the vicinity of the camp.

Jie Chen, seeing Xiang Ying return, retracted his gaze.

He gave the order, "Whoever needs to rest, go back to your rooms and rest. We move out early tomorrow morning to cross Bogui Mountain."

Tao Xue emerged from a room and beckoned to Xiang Ying: "Your Highness, come quickly, the Vice General has assigned us a big room."

The so-called big room was a granary in the former village, indeed very spacious.

Jie Chen not only arranged for Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to stay with Xiang Ying but also sent Xiang Li and Lin Lingxiang over.

Seeing Xiang Li’s blood-stained robes, Xiang Ying quickly asked, "Brother, are you alright?"

Xiang Li smiled softly, still gentle as ever, "I’m fine, it’s someone else’s blood." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Lin Lingxiang’s complexion, however, did not look too good. Xiang Li whispered to Xiang Ying, "Lin Lingxiang has been overwhelmed seeing so many dead just now, Ayin, could you help me get some sedative? I just went to the Military Doctor, but he said without the Vice General’s orders, he dares not furnish it."

Xiang Ying nodded, "I understand, I’ll go in a moment."

The Seventh Princess hurriedly arrived.

"Elder sister, I’ve already tallied up the casualties. Here is the count for the water bandits, and another one for the soldiers."
