Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 383

[Chapter 383: Expressing Feelings]

The wind blew through the palace, and Zhao Lingyin paused while cracking melon seeds.

She looked into Lin Xiu’s eyes and found that his gaze was different from before.

In the past, he was always cynical, 70% joking and 30% teasing, but at this moment, his eyes were very serious. Zhao Lingyin lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye, and changed the subject: “I don’t know when they will come back…”

Lin Xiu didn’t say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Lingyin quietly looked up at him, met Lin Xiu’s eyes, and then quickly moved away, stood up, and said: “I’m sleepy, go back to my room to rest…”

She wanted to go back to her room to calm down, but her hand was held by Lin Xiu.

Holding hands is already a very common thing for them. Whether it is when Daluo restores his ability for him or Lin Xiu replaces her ability for her, it is through holding hands, but this time holding hands, the meaning is different from any other time.

She looked into Lin Xiu’s eyes again. Although Lin Xiu didn’t speak, she knew what he wanted to say.

She always knew.

She held Lin Xiu’s fingers tightly and whispered, “Give me some time…”

…

Lingyin used to be carefree and didn’t care about anything, but after he expressed his feelings, she became shy and stopped spending time with him alone, and even took the initiative to go to the polar regions for training.

However, Lin Xiu had waited for such a long time, and was not in a hurry for now. When she was ready, it was just a matter of asking Emperor Xia for another imperial decree.

Lin Xiu originally planned to give Emperor Xia the healing skill after he reached the heavenly level.

But seeing that he still had the energy to expand the harem, and that he was vigorous and energetic, without the inability of a middle-aged man, she was not so anxious.

The concubines around him were all from powerful families, and they knew him best. They knew Emperor Xia’s physical condition very well, including how many times a night, how long each time, etc.

If there was any change in Emperor Xia, they would feel it at the first time. Lin Xiu didn’t want too many irrelevant people to know about the things that could prolong his life.

Lin Xiu had just returned from the palace. Zhu Jin said that Emperor Xia did not come out of the Queen’s bedroom until noon. He abolished the crown prince, but he did not know how he coaxed the queen. Not only did the two not quarrel, but their relationship was even better than before .

After working hard all night yesterday, Emperor Xia was still very energetic and talked about state affairs with Lin Xiu in the imperial study.

Since the fall of the Qinglian Sect and the change of the crown prince, Daxia has been stable internally, but the external situation has become more severe. Dayou’s secret agents have contacted the Zhang family, the Song family, and the Wei family, intending to persuade them to cooperate with Dayou to overthrow the Daxia court. At that time, Daxia will be ruled by these families.

However, although these families suffered a lot at the hands of Lin Xiu, they did not waver in the face of justice and handed over the Dayou secret agents to the court. At the

same time, some unrest occurred in the countries around Daxia, such as the Western Regions, the Northern Mang, and the Southern Yue. In those events, the shadow of Dayou was everywhere.

In addition, the beast tides in various places suddenly became fierce. A large number of strange beasts gathered together in an uncharacteristic way and launched rounds of attacks on villages and cities. Wherever they went, no grass grew and no living creatures were left.

After the peace agreement with the sea tribe was signed, the Zhenhai Army had been transferred to various places to suppress the sudden beast tide. After

the secret investigation, the court found that these abnormal beast tides were maliciously promoted by someone behind them. As for who was the mastermind behind the scenes, it was known without guessing.

The birdman killed ten elders of Dayou, weakening their strength and making them more crazy. They even jumped off the wall and used all kinds of means to create trouble for Daxia and Daluo. Daxia

was better. It was said that Daluo was already in chaos.

Lingyin went to the polar regions to practice, and the imperial concubine lived in Jiangnan for a long time. Lin Xiu had no meaning to stay at home, so she simply took the girls to see the various places. Caiyi and A Ke’s cultivation was still at the lower level of the earth level. Those strange beasts were a headache for the court, but for them, they were all cultivation resources.

Caiyi and A Ke had no problem. Lin Xiu walked to Zhao Lingjun’s room and asked, “Do you want to go with us?”

Zhao Lingjun shook her head and said, “Lingyin is not here, so I won’t go either. You guys go. I’ll practice at home.”

If Lin Xiu hadn’t seen her true thoughts, he might have really believed this woman who said one thing and thought another.

He walked to the bed and said, “Let’s go. We’ll all go. It’s not good to leave you alone at home.”

Zhao Lingjun shook her head and said, “No, I’ll tell my parents.”

Lin Xiu held her wrist and said, “Let’s go…”

After Lin Xiu’s repeated invitations, Zhao Lingjun had no choice but to say, “Well, okay then…”

…

Daxia, Guangping Prefecture.

In a certain county town, countless soldiers stood on the city wall, looking at the endless rats below, gnawing at the city wall frantically, and felt their scalps tingling.

These rats, as big as dogs, are not ordinary rats, but a kind of alien beasts that live in groups. They are born with abilities similar to earth attributes, good at digging holes, and devour everything. Wherever they go, they will not leave any life. Grass, trees, poultry, livestock, and even humans will become their blood food.

The teeth of these alien rats are extremely sharp, and they can even gnaw on the hard city walls. A single alien rat is not powerful, but every time they appear, there are at least tens of thousands of them. Even the strong men in the upper realm of the earth level will feel their scalps tingling when they see them.

In order to eliminate these strange beasts, the court even invited the strong men of the heavenly rank. Every time the strong men of the heavenly rank took action, they could kill many strange beasts. However, manpower was limited, while the strange beasts were endless. Once the casualties were too heavy, the beast tide would fade away. The strong men of the heavenly rank did not dare to go too deep into the herd. Once the Yuan force was exhausted, the strong men of the heavenly rank could not avoid the fate of being swallowed by the herd.

Countless fire rains fell from the sky and landed on the strange rats, emitting a burnt smell. Several strange rats were burned to ashes, and more strange rats came up. Compared with these strange beasts, the number of human magicians was too small. They exhausted their Yuan force and only killed hundreds of strange rats. The city wall under their feet had been bitten into a big hole.

Countless strange rats swarmed in, flames, water arrows, stones, wooden cones…, overwhelmingly swarmed up, and dozens of strange rats were killed in an instant. An earth-type magician had sweat all over his forehead and tried his best to repair the city wall.

But soon, the ear-piercing cries of alien rats were heard from under another city wall.

After finally resisting this wave of invasion, several magicians of various disciplines in this small county town panted slightly, looked at each other, and saw the intention to retreat in each other’s eyes.

Their energy will soon be exhausted, and then this small town will be immediately breached by these alien rats.

Just as they were about to abandon this city and evacuate immediately, it suddenly became quiet outside the city wall.

The attack of alien rats is usually accompanied by their ear-piercing and unpleasant cries. For some reason, in a short moment, those cries disappeared, and the whole world became quiet.

Someone poked his head out from the city wall and found that there was an exquisite painting boat floating in the void outside the city. On the hull of the painting boat, there was a word “Lin”.

Under the city wall, the dense group of alien rats did not move. If you look closely, you can see that they are lying on the ground one by one, their bodies trembling slightly.

On the painting boat.

Lin Xiu stretched out his hand, and countless forces surged from below. Above his palm, a huge transparent crystal condensed. Inside this transparent crystal, there was very pure Yuanli.

Although these strange beasts were not strong, there were too many of them. The Yuanli contained in this crystal was equivalent to Caiyi’s half-month practice.

When the crystal in his hand stopped growing, Lin Xiu had a thought, and the strange rats below retreated to the distance like a tide.

From now on, they are no different from ordinary rats except that they are slightly larger in size, and will no longer pose a threat to the people here. After

handing the crystal to Caiyi, Lin Xiu followed the rats and flew forward. After

the rats retreated ten miles, there was an endless desert. Although this place was nominally the territory of Daxia, it was occupied by strange beasts. The tens of thousands of rats were deprived of their abilities by Lin Xiu, and fled in panic, encountering an ant colony in the desert.

Those ants were all red, each the size of a fist, densely packed and covering a thousand feet in radius. When the ant colony passed by, the rat colony with tens of thousands of mice disappeared out of thin air, not even a bone was left.

After the ant colony devoured the rat colony, it soon discovered Lin Xiu floating in the air.

Buzz!

There was a sound of wings rubbing in the air, and countless red ants flapped their wings and flew up, swarming towards Lin Xiu. The breath of each ant was very weak, but hundreds of millions of ants gathered together, which was also a considerable force.

Seeing this scene, the strong man of the upper realm of the earth level would probably be scared.

Looking at the ant colony flying towards him, Lin Xiu gently stretched out his hand and pointed.

The overwhelming ant colony suddenly stopped in the void strangely. As time passed, a transparent crystal the size of a head condensed in front of Lin Xiu.

Not long after, Lin Xiu put away the crystal, waved his hand, and the ants fell to the ground one after another.

He spread out his telekinesis and felt countless fluctuations of Yuanli from all directions.

At the same time, countless strange beasts in this desert suddenly felt a fear from the depths of their souls…
