However, Aiden suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He turned to the side of the bed and saw Aurora sleeping soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh, my head feels really dizzy,\" said Aiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To relieve the dizziness in his head, Aiden needed good air circulation in the room. He opened the bedroom window and let the cool night air refresh the stuffy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was about to return to his room, he was startled to hear faint voices coming from outside the inn. It was the sound of two men talking after visiting a tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really hate those refugees. They’re never-ending!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful what you say. Haven’t you heard the rumors from the capital?\" asked the man’s friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that the refugees who were sent to the big city were never seen again,\" replied the man, shocking his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t joke around. What could those refugees possibly do to disappear like that?\" his friend asked, doubting the man’s story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know what happened to the men, but I heard the women were turned into prostitutes in brothels in the city. It’s obvious,\" the man added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Well, I have to say women are more attractive than men, even if they’re not young anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. Many poor people order middle-aged women because they’re cheap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden listened while hiding behind the wall. Luckily for him, the thin walls of the inn allowed him to hear their conversation clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I knew it. King Xiliang wouldn’t take them without any compensation. There are no kind people,’ Aiden thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, their voices faded and disappeared as they walked away from the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden did not expect the refugees’ fate to be so tragic. If the women were being used as sex slaves, Aiden wondered about the fate of the male refugees, especially the elderly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He peeked through the window, and the two men had already left. They were no longer visible on the village road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I can find out more information about this when I arrive in Suchang City,\" Aiden explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aiden was about to return to rest, he saw two women running swiftly, holding hands. They were running from the direction of the refugee camp and entered a wheat field; one was a young girl and the other an older woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces looked panicked, constantly looking back as if they were being chased by something, perhaps wild animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aiden continued to watch them, he was shocked to see three Xiliang soldiers running after the two female refugees. The three soldiers had taken off their armor so they could run faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone help us!\" shouted the middle-aged woman from the middle of the wheat field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden narrowed his eyes. The two women were caught by the three Xiliang soldiers. Not wanting their cries to be heard by others, the three soldiers immediately gagged them with a piece of cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They cried in fear, trying to resist the depraved behavior of the Xiliang soldiers. However, the strength of the three soldiers was greater than theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With little time to spare, Aiden flew quickly after summoning his magical wings behind his back. He flew while tapping his magic pouch, summoning his spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down and let us satisfy you tonight,\" said one of the Xiliang soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NOOOO!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SLICE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden arrived at the scene, landing roughly. He swung his spear sideways, striking all three Xiliang soldiers. The three men were pushed backward and wounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora suddenly woke up to the sound of Aiden’s flying. She rushed to the open window and saw Aiden standing in the middle of a wheat field, protecting two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aiden?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to leave Aiden alone against three Xiliang soldiers, Aurora immediately flew away from the inn to help Aiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora quickly arrived in the middle of the field and immediately helped the two women who looked shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden looked back and saw that the two women were safe in Aurora’s hands. Aiden looked back in front of him and walked firmly toward the three Xiliang soldiers who had almost raped the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren’t you ashamed?! You almost raped her, even though she’s a refugee,\" Aiden replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refugees must obey the orders of those who brought them here. If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t have been able to come to Xiliang,\" snapped one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden was furious. He saw no sign of remorse from the three of them. If they had no heart, then Aiden could respond in kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped his spear tightly, then threw it forward with all his strength, piercing the neck of one of the Xiliang soldiers. The man died helplessly beside his two friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akkkhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s dead?!\" his friend exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" asked one of them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden stepped forward, gripping his blood-stained spear. The two women looked shocked; they never expected Aiden to defeat one of them so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can kill you all easily. Do you want to try?\" Aiden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can kill a Xiliang soldier. Maybe he can help me,\" said one of the middle-aged women, looking at Aiden optimistically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without mercy, Aiden swung his spear at them, slitting their throats and causing them to bleed to death in the middle of the wheat field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, no one saw their deaths or heard their screams. Perhaps people would discover their deaths the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden wiped the blood from the tip of his spear with a handkerchief until the blade shone again like before. He stored the spear in his magic pouch and stepped toward the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\" Aiden asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re fine. Are you spies from Arcanis?\" the middle-aged woman asked. Aiden remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to know who we are. What matters is that you and she are safe,\" Aiden replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can stay the night in our inn room, if you feel the refugee camp is no longer safe for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl responded with a nod. She walked alongside Aurora toward the inn, while Aiden walked with the middle-aged woman. The two women’s clothes looked tattered and dirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at Aiden’s inn room, the girl immediately entered and lay down on the bed. However, the middle-aged woman turned and asked Aiden something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, can we talk for a moment?\" asked the woman, making Aiden curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden nodded. The two stepped outside the inn and stood by the side of the village road. There, she asked about Aiden’s destination. Of course, Aiden couldn’t tell her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t tell you,\" replied Aiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. I was actually going to offer you a special job,\" the woman explained. Aiden remained silent, waiting for her to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The girl and I aren’t actually mother and daughter, but more like a servant and a young lady,\" she revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her name is Anna. She’s the third daughter of a noble family in Suchang. However, because Anna wanted to study in Arcanis, she had to separate from her family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suchang? So, their goal is to return to Suchang?\" asked Aiden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she explain their identities, but the woman also explained why Anna had to return to Arcanis. It was for the girl’s safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman explained that previously, there had been a secret messenger from the city of Suchang who told Anna that the Arcanis Empire would fall in seven years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Could the Xiliang Kingdom be mobilizing all its forces to destroy the Yixia border? This is serious!\" Aiden exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the border is completely sealed and Anna is trapped in Arcanis, this is our chance to act as refugees,\" the woman added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... if she’s nobility, why doesn’t she use her status to get extra protection from the soldiers?\" Aiden asked. The woman responded by shaking her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The situation among the city’s nobility is complicated. We don’t want to take the risk of revealing Anna’s identity to the soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiden fell silent, then sighed, realizing the current situation was quite dire. Aiden knew exactly why the woman wanted to take him with her—it must be related to their escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the good news was they were planning to go to Suchang, the same place as Aiden. There was no doubt he would accept the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re heading to Suchang. So, maybe we can help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness. I’m sure you can help us,\" the woman replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should rest. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded in understanding. She returned to the inn and went back to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman left and was replaced by Aurora, who came to meet Aiden. The woman immediately asked about what Aiden and the woman had discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The middle-aged woman and the girl are the maid and young lady of one of the influential nobles in Suchang City,\" Aiden replied, surprising Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s nobility? But why is she a refugee? Why is she living in Arcanis? I really don’t understand,\" Aurora complained, and Aiden responded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll tell you later. Let’s go book another room for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1516,"2026-06-03T14:23:19.342Z",1,"novelbin.me","0361f404d9b5348b6938f820f7bd7ad4c5f9adce6cda2765450b2b5c87a6e585","infinite-dragon-beast-taming-ice-dragons-with-ss-chapter-139","infinite-dragon-beast-taming-ice-dragons-with-ss-chapter-137",139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finfinite-dragon-beast-taming-ice-dragons-with-ss-cover.jpg"]
