But he didn’t dare to get angry at Zhao Xingyue. The woman was too terrifying, not only because she had a well-respected identity and status, but she could also be considered a peerless character in terms of strength even among Life Death Stage Kings!

Qin Chu did not doubt that he would suffer a fate worse than death if he expressed his dissatisfaction.

Qin Chu felt so aggrieved that his face turned blue, and he almost spewed out blood. He stood there speechless for a long moment while Lin Xun and Zhangsun Lie gloated at his predicament.

After suppressing himself several times, Qin Chu finally uttered awkwardly, “General Zhao, you must be joking, right?”

However, Zhao Xingye raised her black and straight eyebrows and pursed her red lips in discontent. “General Qin Chu, I just bowed and saluted you on behalf of the empire. Do you think I’m joking?”

Her voice might still be soft, but it felt like a sharp sword pressing against Qin Chu’s throat. He went stiff and his expression morphed again.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Commander Zhao is worrying too much. Since I have said that, I will do my best to follow it through. But this matter concerns a lot of things, and I can’t make all the decisions for the Qin Clan. When I return to the empire, I will discuss this with the clan right away to properly resolve the matter.”

With a livid face, he turned around and stormed off.

Zhao Xingye nodded happily. “I’m glad, then I hope that General Qin Chu will succeed!”

Qin Chu left, feeling depressed and aggrieved. He was worried that he might vomit blood and die if he didn’t leave again any sooner.

He felt the urge to slap himself when he thought about how much trouble he had brought upon himself just to borrow the bow and arrow.

Damn it!

……

“Thank you, General Zhao, for helping us solve the problem.” Zhangsun Lie restrained his smile and bowed sincerely.

If Zhao Xingye hadn’t come, the outcome would have been completely different.

“You’re welcome. The fact that General Qin Chu’s whole heart and soul are devoted to the public interest also makes me very pleased. Rather than saying I resolved a problem, it is better to say that it has facilitated a wonderful thing.” Zhao Xingye said casually.

Her appearance was stunningly mesmerizing. Her dark eyes sparkled, and her skin was brighter than snow. It was hard to imagine how a beautiful woman like her could receive the title Bloodthirsty Queen.

If Lin Xun hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, then he would never be able to imagine Qin Chu, a Life Death Stage King, would obediently listen to Zhao Xingye.

This was true power!

“Commander Zhao, do you think that the Qin Clan will fulfill the promise?” Zhangsun Lie asked.

However, Zhao Xingye’s plump lips curled upwards in a disdainful smile. “If they dare not to, then they can’t blame me for going in person and asking for it!”

Lin Xun and Zhangsun Lie were both finally convinced that Zhao Xingye was not joking!

Heavens, does she plan to slaughter the Qin Clan?!

Lin Xun inhaled sharply. In the past, he was always regarded as bold and daring, but he felt he was not worth mentioning when compared to the beautiful and terrifying Zhao Xingye!

Zhangsun Lie swept a glance over Lin Xun, as though secretly comparing who was more daring between Lin Xun and Zhao Xingye…

“Surprised?” Zhao Xingye smiled, flicking her nails. “Don’t forget that I am a woman, and women are best at pestering people and getting revenge.”

Zhangsun Lie failed to stifle a chuckle as he gloated and pitied Qin Chu at the same time. If that guy knew about this, would he cry?

Lin Xun couldn’t help but exclaim in his mind. A woman? Who would dare to treat the supreme commander of the empire who is titled the Bloodthirsty Queen as an ordinary woman?

“Little guy, can you lend me your bow and arrow?” Suddenly, Zhao Xingye requested, shifting her beautiful eyes onto Lin Xun.

Zhangsun Lie narrowed his eyes in bewilderment.

Zhao Xingye remained as calm and indifferent as ever. She continued to look at Lin Xun quietly and exerted no pressure on him.

“Yes.” Lin Xun answered after a moment of silence. Then he met Zhao Xingye’s gaze calmly and said, “But, I have one condition.”

Zhangsun Lie was so shocked that he almost clasped his hand over Lin Xun’s mouth. How dare he negotiate with Zhao Xingye at such a time? This kid is too audacious!

But Zhao Xingye narrowed her dark and beautiful eyes slightly while the corners of her lips curled upwards in a faint smile. “Oh, let’s hear it.”

Lin Xun stated his unexpected condition, “Commander, if there comes the day that you are going to ask the Qin Clan for an explanation in person, please bring me with you. I also want to take a look. That is all.”

Zhangsun Lie looked baffled. What is this kid doing? Why does he need to get involved in this as well?

Zhao Xingye chuckled out loud. With a strange look gleaming in her beautiful eyes, she studied Lin Xun as if she wanted to get to know him better.

After a moment, she nodded, “Okay.”

Lin Xun beamed and handed over the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow without hesitation.

“I will return it in no more than ten days,” Zhao Xingye promised.

It was late at night so Lin Xun soon said goodbye and left.

“Sure enough, this kid is also a sly fox. Given his shrewdness, whoever provokes him will have a headache in the future.”

Zhao Xingye lightly brushed her fair and slender hand over the No-Nonsense Bow as she watched Lin Xun depart. Her lips were curved imperceptibly.

“A sly fox? I think the kid is too audacious.” Zhangsun Lie couldn’t help remarking as he thought of all the things that Lin Xun had done recently.

Immediately, he then said with a frown, “However, given his personality, I am very surprised that he would lend you the bow and arrow so willingly.”

Zhao Xingye shot a glare at him. “Do you think I took advantage of him?”

Without waiting for an answer, Zhao Xingye then smiled playfully. “If I didn’t need a great killing weapon to do something, I wouldn’t have agreed to his condition.”

Zhangsun Lie was taken aback at first then he thought over it carefully. He suddenly slapped his thigh. “I understand! That kid is cunning!”

It was very simple. Although Zhao Xingye forced Qin Chu to submit and keep to his words, everyone knew that the Qin Clan, one of the seven high clans, wouldn’t possibly donate all their wealth and power to the empire.

That would be no different from destroying the Qin Clan. Even the emperor would not do that.

After all, the Qin Clan, as one of the high clans, had a tremendous foundation and influence in the empire and wielded monstrous power. If they were driven to a corner, then it would no doubt cause unpredictable turmoil and disaster.

Based on that, the condition proposed by Lin Xun was intriguing.

He requested to follow Zhao Xingye to the Qin Clan’s residence and see how she asked for an explanation from the Qin Clan. That no doubt influenced Zhao Xingye’s operation, so she had to think it through even if she wanted to change her mind.

“If I don’t slaughter the Qin Clan, then I will be looked down upon by that kid, and I can’t repay him the favor for lending me the bow and arrow.”

“But if I go, I am doing exactly what the kid wanted. This is no different from using someone’s strength to kill your own enemy. But that kid concealed his intentions very well.”

A trace of admiration glimmered in Zhao Xingye’s beautiful and charming eyes. “He is amazing. Putting aside his cultivation and foundation, the fact that he knows how to use a borrowed knife at his age is already remarkable. Very few of his peers can compare to him. Say, if such a sly, talented and extraordinary little monster grows up in the future, who would dare to anger him?”

Zhangsun Lie was struck dumb. He hadn’t thought about all that. But after considering everything carefully, he found that Zhao Xingye hadn’t exaggerated. She directly pinpointed the kid’s unique characteristics.

“Fortunately, even if he rises, he is not an enemy of the empire. Otherwise, he could bring disaster to the world.” Zhao Xingye abruptly stood up, and her black cloak outlined her graceful and slender figure.

“Although Qin Chu is sometimes hard to bear, what he said is not wrong. The eight camps are running low on resources and supplies. This period before the passage to the empire opens again will be the most difficult.” Her beautiful brows scrunched ruminatively. “This was demonstrated by the little storm today. King Gui Ling and the others seemed to have led an army here today to deal with the kid, but in truth, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to start a full-scale war.”

“Yes, if they directed all their forces to wage war during this period, then the consequences will indeed be serious.” Zhangsun Lie’s brows were drawn in a tight frown. As the leader of the 7th camp, he understood the severity of the situation better than anyone else.

“So, to resolve this crisis, the only way is to play bigger than them!”

Zhao Xingye lifted the No-Nonsense Bow in her hand and fixed her beautiful eyes on the blood-red bowstring. An indescribable terrifying power spread outwards from her.

Zhangsun Lie’s heart pounded with fear. He could somehow see a boundless mountain of corpses and a sea of blood beneath Zhao Xingye’s feet.

At that moment, Zhao Xingye truly had the bearing of the Bloodthirsty Queen. Over the years, that terrifying aura of hers had made the entire Blood Kill Battlefield tremble on more than one occasion!
