Chapter 641: The End of the Star Luo Battlefield, Xun Yu is Conferred a Title, the Title Douluo of Kingly Assistance
Just as Shui Bing'er was secretly letting Bai Chenxiang go, three people in the shadows had already been observing for a long time; they were none other than Nan Feihuang, Dian Wei, and Xun Yu.
Xun Yu said, "My Lord, you actually did not want to kill this girl, which is why you arranged for Miss Bing'er to handle her, because you knew that with Miss Bing'er's kindness, she would never be able to bring herself to kill a girl with whom she has a past."
"You truly cannot be deceived, Wenruo," Nan Feihuang laughed. "Bai Chenxiang is, after all, the eldest young lady of the Min Clan. If I kill Bai He but let her go, it is not a good thing in terms of public duty. In private, she still cannot live, because those loyal to our country will inevitably find ways to assassinate her. Since that is the case, let her be dead in the eyes of the public, and in private, let her live a lifetime under an assumed name. It is just a grievance to my senior sister, letting her take the blame for me once."
"Hehe, I think Miss Bing'er will not mind. Apart from Lingling, Miss Bing'er is indeed the kindest girl I have ever seen." Xun Yu also quite admired Shui Bing'er; perhaps on the battlefield, her kindness was instead a burden.
But after the continent is pacified, as the deputy general to the Peerless God General Feihuang, and also his senior sister, she will surely hold a high position in the future.
Once Feihuang completes his God Trial in the future, he will not immediately go to the God Realm; he will certainly first develop the continent until it is stable. At that time, this kind quality of Shui Bing'er will be a rare and precious thing.
"Sister Bing'er, thank you. However, I cannot let you sacrifice your own merit for my sake," Bai Chenxiang looked at Shui Bing'er gratefully. "Sister Bing'er, I will tell you a secret that might be of some help to you."
"What secret?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.
"It is all the intelligence that my Min Clan has collected all along, hidden in a secret location. I will tell you the address, and you can use this to claim credit with Big Brother Feihuang. The intelligence inside includes the secrets of major kingdoms and duchies, the personal privacy of major famous generals and strategists, and..." Bai Chenxiang recounted.
Shui Bing'er, however, became more and more shocked as she listened. "Chenxiang, why didn't you bring this out earlier? If you had said so earlier, this merit, even if it couldn't save your grandfather, could at least have saved your own life. You wouldn't even have to live under an assumed name; you could have lived under the blue sky with the Min Clan. Do you know how significant this intelligence is? It could almost help Junior Brother take over fifty percent of the Spirit Empire's forces without a single drop of blood. With this merit to trade for your life, no one would have any objections."
"Because... I am a girl!" Bai Chenxiang laughed.
Although she did not hate Nan Feihuang, because it was her grandfather who harmed Feihuang's relatives first, and he truly succeeded in poisoning Feihuang's brother-in-law to death, the fact that Feihuang only killed her grandfather and let her other clansmen go, as long as they agreed to surrender, already made her very grateful.
However, not hating did not mean there was no resentment.
Being ordered to be executed without mercy by the person she liked, Bai Chenxiang also felt sorrow in her heart.
That was why she deliberately did not say it; in any case, she did not want to live anymore.
"You, acting so temperamental at a time like this. Come, follow me back to see Feihuang!" Shui Bing'er took hold of Bai Chenxiang's wrist, intending to bring her back.
With this merit, there was no longer any need for her to secretly let her go; wouldn't it be better to let Nan Feihuang pardon her openly?
Bai Chenxiang shook her head. "I will not go back. In this life, I will never see Big Brother Feihuang again. I like him, but he killed my grandfather. Seeing him again, I will only have conflict and pain in my heart. Sister Bing'er, thank you for your concern for me. Since you are not killing me, then I will do as you said, find a place to live under an assumed name. I only hope you will tell Big Brother Feihuang that I hope he will, for the sake of this merit of mine, treat the surrendered disciples of my clan kindly."
Bai Chenxiang bowed to Shui Bing'er to plead. Shui Bing'er looked at the young girl before her with a complex expression; she had indeed been a bit presumptuous.
Bai Chenxiang could indeed save her life with this merit, but she did not want to see Nan Feihuang again, and even less did she want to beg him for mercy. This was her final stubbornness as a girl toward the person she liked, unwilling to show her cowardly side in front of him.
Shui Bing'er sighed. "Since that is the case, Chenxiang, take care of yourself!"
"Mm, Sister Bing'er, I also wish you... and Big Brother Feihuang a bright future and the unification of the world." Bai Chenxiang smiled with relief and turned to leave.
"Let us go as well," Nan Feihuang said in a low voice.
"My Lord, are we not going to retrieve the intelligence that Bai Chenxiang mentioned?" Dian Wei asked.
Although Bai Chenxiang had just spoken quietly to Shui Bing'er, with the hearing of the three of them, they had still heard it clearly. They now also knew where the intelligence collected by the Min Clan over many years was hidden.
"Of course we must retrieve it, but let us wait until Senior Sister reports it to me before we go. I have wronged Senior Sister once; this great merit must not be lost to her," Feihuang said.
"Understood!" Dian Wei and Xun Yu acknowledged.
Shui Bing'er was certainly guilty of secretly letting Bai Chenxiang go, but this merit could not only offset that crime but also have plenty left over.
The three returned to the camp to wait for Shui Bing'er's return.
As soon as Shui Bing'er returned, she knelt before Feihuang to confess her crime. Feihuang feigned anger and scolded Shui Bing'er.
After Shui Bing'er finished admitting her mistake, she immediately produced the intelligence Bai Chenxiang had mentioned, and only then did Feihuang "turn his anger into joy."
Not only did he pardon Shui Bing'er, but he also pardoned Bai Chenxiang; otherwise, she was a fugitive after all, and even if she lived under an assumed name, she would still be hunted by the Gu Lei Empire's soldiers if her true identity were discovered.
With this pardon, she could live without worry.
One day later, the Gu Lei Empire's great army set out again, beginning to sweep across the entire Star Luo Empire.
Three days later, the Gu Lei army had already breached the Star Luo Imperial City, confiscated the Jade Seal and Military Talisman of the Star Luo Empire, and then divided their forces to mop up the garrisons throughout Star Luo.
The upper-echelon power of the Star Luo Empire was completely wiped out, leaving them with no power to resist; relying solely on the remaining ordinary soldiers, no matter how many there were, it was meaningless.
Coupled with Dai Mubai's persuasion to surrender, as the Crown Prince of Star Luo and with the White Tiger Great Emperor dead, he was the one with the highest status in Star Luo. In many places, they surrendered voluntarily, which greatly saved Feihuang trouble.
Following the reports of victory from various places, Feihuang confirmed that there were no more problems in Star Luo, so he handed everything here over to his mother, Lan Xue, to handle, with Shui Bing'er and Nan Feiling assisting.
He himself, taking Dian Wei and Xun Yu, prepared to reinforce the Heaven Dou Empire.
If Feihuang guessed correctly, at this time, the battlefield over there should also be in a white-hot state.
It is worth mentioning that in this war, Xun Yu's battlefield martial soul, the Military Talisman, finally took advantage of this cultivation environment to train through war and broke through to Level Ninety.
Ye Lingling gave the God-Bestowed Soul Ring she had originally obtained to Xun Yu.
With the assistance of Feihuang's Dunjia Heavenly Book, Xun Yu only took three days to raise this spirit ring to the Ten-Thousand-Year Level.
At this moment, Xun Yu also became a true Title Douluo, with the title of Title Douluo of Kingly Assistance.
This echoed history's evaluation of him: "A talent of kingly assistance!"
