The Queen of Unrivalled Beauty, Jing Zhongyue! Killing People in Their Dreams

Now, Yun Zhonghe was touched and speechless.

"No, there's no need for that. I can heal you; I can save you," Yun Zhonghe said.

But Jing Wubian could no longer hear him speaking.

Saying so many words in one breath had exhausted the last of his strength, and he fainted right after finishing what he had to say.

Then, a few warriors came up and put Yun Zhonghe into a big sack.

Yun Zhonghe said, "D*mn, what are you guys doing? I will be done refining my elixir soon. I will be able to save Jing Wubian right away. I guarantee the drug will be able to rid him of the disease completely. What are you guys doing? What are you guys doing?"

"Someone, quick! Blue Immortal, you old, scraggly man, quick come and kill me!"

"Lady Cold Jade, quick, come and kill me. Come and kill me…" Yun Zhonghe called.

"What's all this bragging about? At his deathbed, Master has used his last breath to save you. You better know what's good for you and not be so ungrateful," the warrior said.

Then without another word, he stuffed a ball of cloth right into Yun Zhonghe's mouth and tied him up with a rope.

D*mn, d*mn, d*mn.

Now Yun Zhonghe was really unable to move or make a single cry aloud at all.

A few men carried the sack out and tossed it into a carriage.

Then, the warrior drove the carriage out of the residence of the castellan and far into the distance.

This was not merely sending Yun Zhonghe out of the residence of the castellan. They were sending him directly out of the Land of No King.

There was even a sum of 500 sycees prepared for Yun Zhonghe.

Deep in his heart, Yun Zhonghe was very touched. But there was only one thought in his mind after feeling touched, which was, "I… D*mn it."

No matter how cunning or sly he could be, before these reckless warriors, he had no room to show these abilities of his.

It was just like when a scholar met soldiers, he should not argue with them, for no amount of reasoning would work, and he was bound to lose.

When a lunatic met with soldiers, it was probably pretty much the same.

So just like that, the carriage, with Yun Zhonghe in it, rushed all the way out in the middle of the night.

These few warriors even felt that they had done something great in saving Yun Zhonghe's life.

Just like that, the carriage that contained Yun Zhonghe made a smooth exit out of the residence of the castellan without encountering any hindrances.

D*mn, d*mn, d*mn…

Yun Zhonghe was putting up a desperate struggle as he kicked the panel walls of the carriage with his feet. But it was completely useless.

At that point, it would be great if there was someone random that could stop them.

Anyone would do.

As though having heard Yun Zhonghe's inner screams, the clattering of hasty hoofbeats was suddenly heard in front of them. Then a cold voice was heard.

"What are you doing?" The voice was none other than Lady Cold Jade's.

Yun Zhonghe was greatly delighted and desperately kicked the panel walls of the carriage.

"Our respects to Your Lady." The few warriors immediately dropped to one knee.

Lady Cold Jade said, "I am asking you, what is inside this carriage?"

The leader of the warriors said, "Lady Cold Jade, this… This is Master's final wish."

"That lunatic?" Lady Cold Jade asked.

The leader of the warriors remained silent.

Lady Cold Jade said, "Since he has signed the warrant of military order, he has to face this. Bring him out."

However, without another word, she drew her sword, wanting to behead Yun Zhonghe at the main gate straight away so that he could be buried with Jing Wubian.

The leader of the warriors said in his hoarse voice, "Master said that he was a useless man, and the only person in this world that he was able to protect was this mad beggar here. Saving this beggar's life would at least mean that his entire life has not been utterly meaningless."

Lady Cold Jade's beautiful face trembled slightly. Then she waved her hand and said, "Go, the farther, the better. Throw him far out from the Land of No King."

"Yes, thank you for your kind approval, Lady Cold," the warrior said.

Then, he drove the carriage and continued to move far off into the distance. Lady Cold Jade urged her horse to move and entered the residence of the castellan.

Yun Zhonghe was burning with anxiety. My ability to speak eloquently is the only thing the original owner of this body was gifted with.

Top, top, top!

Yun Zhonghe tore through and got rid of the cloth in his mouth, then shouted loudly to Lady Cold Jade's retreating back, "Cold Jade, I'm not leaving! I want to sleep with you. I want to sleep with you!"

Suddenly, there was a gust of cold air.

Within an instant, Lady Cold Jade had fiercely turned around, drew her sword, and rushed over like a flash of lightning.

Without saying a word, she sent her sword stabbing towards Yun Zhonghe.

"Swish…"

The rope around Yun Zhonghe's body snapped apart straightaway.

"Hi, we meet again, goddess!" Yun Zhonghe waved.

Lady Cold Jade fixed her gaze at Yun Zhonghe and asked, "So eager to die? What for? I've already spared this lowly life of yours, so why are you still courting death so eagerly? What ulterior motive are you hiding? Who the hell do you work for?"

This woman was terrifying.

After her outburst of rage, instead of killing Yun Zhonghe, she immediately suspected him of being someone else's man.

"In two hours' time, the refinement of my elixir will be completed, and Jing Wubian will be saved." At this point, Yun Zhonghe was no longer in a jocular mood. He was instead completely serious.

Lady Cold Jade said, "If you leave now, not only will you live, you can even live quite well. If you go back to the residence of the castellan, you only have a slim chance of survival. Are you sure you want to take a gamble on this chance? Jing Wubian doesn't have much time left. Once he dies, you die too."

Yun Zhonghe did not reply. He walked straight out of the carriage and right back into the residence of the castellan again.

***

Back in the small courtyard of the residence of the castellan, Yun Zhonghe worked like he was crazy.

To finish the last production process of the penicillin.

He was really gambling with his life. Jing Wubian was in such a terrible condition that it looked as if he could die at any time.

At this time, it was also unknown whether the penicillin could save him or not.

It really was a gamble.

"I'll come back in two hours to get the medicine. By then, if you are unable to produce the medicine, you die. If your medicine can't save Jing Wubian, you also have to die!" Lady Cold Jade said.

Lady Cold Jade placed a giant hourglass in front of Yun Zhonghe. It would take exactly two hours for all of the sand to fall through.

An absolute scramble for time.

***

Inside the ward, more than a dozen physicians, including Blue Immortal, were making last-ditch efforts.

Lady Torn Gust was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath as she implored Blue Immortal.

"Blue Immortal, Blue Immortal, you're so infinitely resourceful and powerful, save my son. Save my son," Lady Torn Gust said.

"Although he is useless and a good for nothing, he is also my only son, my flesh and blood."

"Where's your teacher? He is a man of great wit and ability; you must get him here to save my son."

Lady Torn Gust went straight down on her knees.

Blue Immortal hurried forward to help her up and said in a sorrowful voice, "You must never, ever do that. You must never, ever do that. Madame, please, this is too much for me to bear, don't make me lose any more years of my life."

"Madame, to be honest with you, Master Wubian's birth was originally an accident. For him to be able to live up until this day, it has already cost me the greatest amount of effort and virtue. I have taken back many years of my predestined life span from the heavens. Now, Master Wubian's impending doom has been predestined by the heavens, so this old man here is really helpless, as there is really nothing I can do."

Lady Torn Gust asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that my son is really hopeless?"

Blue Immortal said tearfully, "It's hopeless. The two of us are like father and son. If there were a way for me to save him, even if I had to give up my life, I would be willing to do so."

Lady Torn Gust directed her gaze at Jing Wubian, who was lying on the bed. She gently wiped her tears and slowly said, "My son, you've led a wretched life. It's a good thing for you to leave. Where is Jing Zhongyue? Her little brother is dying, why isn't she back yet?"

Lady Cold Jade said, "My Lady, the castellan has gone to attend the Baronage Assembly of the Land of No King. It's going to take ten days for her to return home. And it's at a critical moment."

The Baronage Assembly of the Land of No King was indeed a great matter. It concerned the future strategic plans for the entire Land of No King, and the fate of the City of Torn Gust as well.

"Good, good, it's also good to keep busy…" Lady Torn Gust's tears were gushing out. Then she closed her eyes and fainted within an instant.

"Madame, Madame…" A group of physicians standing around flocked to her at once.

Lady Cold Jade said, "Someone, help Madame back to her room to rest."

A few female warriors came forward. They carefully lifted Lady Torn Gust and walked towards the inner room.

Lady Cold Jade sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Jing Wubian's face. Instinctively, she looked at the hourglass at the head of the bed.

Lady Cold Jade said, "Blue Immortal, physicians, are you all sure that there's really no hope for Jing Wubian?"

Blue Immortal shook his head. All the physicians shook their heads. They were wholly convinced that Jing Wubian was facing a death sentence.

Lady Cold Jade said, "Very well. Then let's send him on his final journey here."

Right at that moment, everyone outside knelt down in a concerted manner.

There was a sudden chill that filled the entire atmosphere.

Then, a light fragrance filled the air.

Instinctively, everyone stood up straight. Even the hairs on their bodies were on end.

Everyone stooped low, and their waists seemed to become noodles that softened as they bent their upper torso. They gazed down at the ground.

This feeling was as if they were inside the forest and the king of the beasts was coming. All the animals, upon sensing its aura, immediately curled up.

The door opened, and a figure entered.

Instantly, the entire area lightened up, as though a bright, round moon had appeared within the room.

A beauty, a stunning beauty, an unrivaled beauty.

Like the moon in the sky, bright, clean, and perfect.

The snow-white embroidered robe of the castellan that she wore looked travel-worn, yet it was spotlessly clean.

This was a very strange situation.

Everyone in the room held their breath.

One of the physicians originally wanted to fart but had to force the wind back into his stomach to hold it in.

"Our respects to you, Castellan!"

Everyone in the room knelt down in a concerted manner.

This was the only female baronage in the Land of No King. She was the supreme queen of 13,000 square kilometers of territorial land of the Valley of Torn Gust, as well as hundreds of thousands of people.

The She-Devil who wielded absolute power over the people's lives and properties, and who had killed innumerable people.

When she appeared, everyone could feel the chill at the back of the necks.

There was also an allusion made regarding her that amazed Yun Zhonghe.

I kill people in my dreams!

But she really had killed someone in her dream. And this person happened to be… a spy sent by another country.

But she was really beautiful, and it was a very classical kind of beauty at that.

Her body was like a willow, so graceful and elegant.

Her brows were like distant mountains, her pretty nose was fair as snow, her cherry lips were like flowers, and her face was so beautiful that it could sway anyone's heart.

Because she was relatively tall, so she still appeared to be a little more on the slender and frail side. But her figure was still curvy and alluring.

She seldom spoke, but she was not the kind who was cold as ice. She was just quiet and had little to say.

If flowers were used to describe women, there would not be one that would suit Jing Zhongyue.

She was just too different.

***

"Castellan, why are you back? This is a critical moment for the Baronage Assembly." Cold Jade was shocked as she said, "I didn't allow Madame to send you any letters."

Jing Zhongyue said, "I left the Assembly earlier."

She did not explain any further. But something was tugging at Lady Cold Jade's heart.

This round of Baronage Assembly was of the utmost importance. How serious would the consequences be for leaving earlier? This was totally inconceivable.

Jing Zhongyue said, "Is Jing Wubian really in such a hopeless condition?"

A dozen or more physicians went down on their knees. They all said while kowtowing, "Your lowly subject is guilty."

Earlier on, when Lady Torn Gust had asked them the same question, these physicians all stood tall and firm. But now, when they saw Jing Zhongyue, they fell to their knees straightaway, trembling with fear. At this time, all of them were kneeling on the ground, afraid that the slightest disagreement would cause her to start a killing spree again.

Then once again, Jing Zhongyue shifted her eyes to cast an indifferent look at Blue Immortal.

Blue Immortal bowed down respectfully and said, "May I report to you, My Lady, it's hopeless. Even an immortal would be hard-pressed to save him!"

"Understood." Jing Zhongyue sat down on the edge of the bed.

Then, she waved her hand.

Instantly, everyone bent over and bowed their way out of the room.

It was not until they had completely exited the room that they dared to breathe in big mouthfuls of air.

This was the might of Jing Zhongyue, the queen of Torn Gust Valley.

After everyone had backed out of the room, Jing Zhongyue held on tightly to her brother's hand.

She realized that her hands were a little cold, so she took a candle that was lit and placed her hands directly over the flame to warm them.

When she felt the burning pain, her brows quivered a little, as though it was a somewhat addictive and soothing kind of sensation.

When she felt that her hands were warm enough, she grabbed her brother's hand again and used it to cup her peerlessly beautiful face. It was as though she wanted to feel the last warmth of her brother.

And just like that, without saying a word, she sat there as she quietly waited for Jing Wubian to die.

The air was filled with grief and sadness.
