Chapter 361

Under Xu Que's leadership, the Snow City Army was in high spirits, bathing in blood to slay the enemy!

In the end, the Ice Armor Army suffered a crushing defeat!

Most of them were slaughtered and left in the snow forever, with only a dozen or so taking advantage of the chaos to escape, rushing all the way up the snow mountain.

Among them was that commander, who just a moment ago had been shouting about fighting to the death and executing anyone who fled on the spot!

But after witnessing the crazed Snow City Army and Xu Que, whose True Essence never seemed to run dry, he panicked completely and fled directly on his ice horse.

Xu Que had originally intended to pursue them, but Situ Haitang stopped him, shaking her head as she said: "Do not pursue a desperate foe. Not only are there restrictions on the snow mountain, but they also have more men stationed there. This matter requires careful deliberation!"

"No need to deliberate; I can kill my way through them all by myself!" Xu Que smiled, making a move as if to chase after them again.

"Young Hero Zhuge, listen to me. You cannot easily go up the snow mountain. Her Highness the Water Emperor is currently sealed up there. If even you are imprisoned, there will be no hope for the Shuiyuan Kingdom!" Situ Haitang stopped Xu Que once more.

Xu Que was startled.

The Empress is sealed here on this snow mountain?

With her strength, this seems rather unlikely!

Xu Que could not help but frown. All along, he had felt that the Empress was no simple person. Although her surface strength appeared to be only at the seventh level of the Infant Transformation Stage, he vaguely always felt that her true strength was more than that.

"Young Hero Zhuge, this battle was won thanks to your help. Let the soldiers handle the rest. Shall we return to the city first to discuss how to rescue Her Highness the Water Emperor?" Situ Haitang spoke again.

Xu Que looked at the majestic snow mountain towering into the clouds and nodded slightly, deciding to first understand what exactly had happened.

After all, he did not dare to be careless about a restriction that even the Empress had fallen victim to. Otherwise, if he were accidentally imprisoned, he would certainly have to spend quite a lot of Acting Cool Points to get out.

"Young Hero, this way please!"

Situ Haitang spoke again, and without waiting for Xu Que to lead, she turned around first and strode toward Snow City with a heroic bearing.

Xu Que clicked his tongue; this woman's style was truly carefree and unconventional!

Usually in this situation, one would let the guest go first, but you actually walked ahead yourself?

For the sake of your beauty, this King of Acting Cool will not hold it against you.

Xu Que muttered a few words to himself and then stepped forward to follow her.

Entering Snow City, the city was also covered in layers of snow. Many severely wounded soldiers were leaning in various corners, bleeding all over, but without pills to treat their injuries, they could only perform techniques to alleviate their pain.

The commoners in the city also ran out one after another to bandage the soldiers' wounds.

As soon as Situ Haitang and Xu Que entered the city, they immediately drew countless gazes of reverence.

After all, in this battle, it was Xu Que who had turned the tide of victory single-handedly, successfully preserving the safety of Snow City. In everyone's eyes, he was a hero!

"Many thanks to the Young Hero for your help!" An old soldier stood up shakily and bowed to Xu Que!

"Many thanks, Young Hero!"

"This kindness will be remembered in our hearts forever!"

The other wounded soldiers and commoners also stood up one after another to say.

Xu Que hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, everyone sit down and rest quickly, don't pull your wounds! I have some medicine here, take it and use it!"

Xu Que had no choice but to be generous for once.

Anyway, he had plenty of pills on him. Over the past year, he had killed so many people and harvested countless storage rings, which contained nothing but spirit stones and pills.

Plus, he had previously emptied the treasury of the Fire Origin Kingdom's Imperial Palace, ransacked the Imperial Mausoleum, and just a while ago, he had also emptied the Second Prince's secret chamber.

So this guy was now completely a walking treasury, and this treasury could be said to be wealthy enough to rival a nation. Taking out a little bit to help a city was merely a drop in the bucket!

But just as he opened his mouth to take out the pills, Situ Haitang hurriedly reached out to refuse.

"Many thanks for Young Hero Zhuge's kindness, but please don't go to such expense. There are so many wounded soldiers in the city; you cannot save everyone."

Clearly, she felt embarrassed to let Xu Que go to such expense again, and she also felt that the number of pills Xu Que could produce must be limited, at most a dozen bottles.

If they were distributed unevenly, it would instead cause internal strife.

The wounded soldiers in the city also waved their hands one after another: "General Haitang is right, Young Hero, you don't need to go to such expense. We can recover after resting for a few months!"

"Young Hero has such a benevolent heart; you are truly a great benefactor who saves all living beings!"

"That's right, Young Hero is truly a good person! But you have already helped us fend off the enemy army, how can we ask for your pills!"

"This is absolutely not allowed!"

Everyone was very firm.

Xu Que smiled indifferently and waved his hands: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just a small token of my appreciation, not an expense at all. You all just make do with them for now!"

A small token of appreciation, not an expense?

As soon as Situ Haitang heard this, she immediately knew that Xu Que must not be very wealthy and could not take out many pills, and was just trying to show his heart!

However, this still wouldn't do. If he took out a little and only saved a few people, it would be unfair to the others!

"Young Hero Zhuge, this matter..."

"Say no more, give me, Zhuge Liang, some face and let everyone accept this small gift. After all, you are all people of the Water Emperor, which means you are my people too. How could I watch you suffer in pain!" Xu Que said with a sense of duty, while summoning the system package.

Seeing Xu Que so insistent, Situ Haitang found it hard to refuse again, so she could only knit her brows slightly and nod.

"That's right, don't be polite with me. I'm the type of person who hates it when my own people are polite!" Xu Que immediately beamed and patted Situ Haitang's shoulder.

Situ Haitang's eyes widened instantly, feeling somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.

Even though she was a female general in the army, it did not mean she would ignore the differences between men and women. Xu Que's action was a bit too forward.

However, before she could say anything, Xu Que had already turned to face the crowd and called out: "Come, come, come, everyone move over and make some space to put things down!"

Make space to put things down?

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Aren't they just a few bottles of pills? Why do they need to move?

Holding their doubts, everyone still struggled to move toward the back.

"No, no, this little space isn't enough, everyone move some more!" Xu Que said again.

Everyone was stunned again, but still moved a little.

"Not enough, move more!"

Everyone moved again.

"Still not enough!"

"..."

"Yes, yes, moving a bit more is just about right!"

"..."

"Trust me, just move one last time!"

"..."

"One last, last time, I promise!"

Thus, under Xu Que's several commands, everyone managed to clear out a space of several dozen square meters.

Situ Haitang was also stunned; what was he trying to do by clearing such a large space?

"Alright, that should be enough!"

At this moment, Xu Que nodded with satisfaction, and then, with a wave of his hand, he controlled the pills in his system package with his mind.

Whoosh!

Instantly, a massive radiance suddenly emanated from Xu Que's hand, sweeping directly toward the empty space.

With a bang, a dense pile of pills landed steadily on the ground.

All the pills were of the two or three-star level, and most of them were spirit pills for recuperation and restoring True Essence!

The entire scene fell into silence instantly.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the mountain of pills before them, completely dumbfounded!
