Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Everyone nodded, their faces solemn, the atmosphere was so depressing that it was hard to breathe. Si Ling waved his hand, sent everyone back, got up and returned to his tent. When he was about to rest, a figure rushed over.

I subconsciously dodged, and then I heard a cry of "Ouch," "Wow, pretty brother, why are you dodging? Youyou listened to you and waited here obediently. You didn't praise me and didn't let me hug you. I don't like you anymore."

Mo You turned around and was about to leave.

Si Ling stopped him: "Wait, it's very dangerous outside, you can't go out, stay here honestly and be obedient."

"Wow, you are so mean to me~~~"

"...No, no, that's not what I meant."

When Si Ling saw the little girl crying so sadly, he felt regretful for the first time and wished he could go back. He would definitely not go for fortune-telling. The little girl was not easy to raise. His head hurt so much that he could not help but press it.

The next moment, a pair of soft little hands covered him and gently pressed on his head. The headache was quickly relieved and he heard the little girl's voice in his ears.

"Pretty brother, isn't it comfortable? When my grandfather had a headache, Youyou would massage him like this. Grandpa said I was very smart. From now on, I will massage you. You are not allowed to be mean to me. You should speak more gently and softly, okay?"

Mo You pressed it gently, with a child's innocence in his eyes.

After hearing this, Si Ling paused before nodding: "Okay, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have spoken so hastily. Sorry, I will pay attention next time. Can you please stop calling me handsome brother? This is not used to describe men."

"Oh, that beautiful brother?"

"No."

"Big brother, can you make it? If not, forget it. Youyou will never change."

"…You can call me big brother."

"Okay, I'll promise you then."

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye

The blood corpses in the entire southern border were cleared out, and the news spread throughout the world. Notices of countermeasures were also posted. It caused some panic at first, but as time passed, the people gradually adapted to it.

In the cave below, the ice coffin on the altar slowly trembled and shattered, revealing a masked person with a naked body covered with cracks, as if it had been broken into pieces and then sewn together by someone.

When the priest noticed it, he came over with a fanatical look in his eyes: "Master, you are finally awake. I have been waiting for you for more than ten years. Are you hungry? Someone bring some fresh blood."

"No, bring a living person. The Lord will surely like the feeling of biting."

Soon, several living people were brought over. They looked at the figure sitting up on the huge altar. They seemed to have seen something terrible. Their bodies kept shaking and they begged frantically, "Please don't kill us. Please."

The "person" on the altar slowly stood up and stretched out his hand. An invisible suction force sucked the person over. Following the sound of a broken neck and a horrible swallowing sound, the priest saw this scene and smiled.

Lord, eat more. As long as you recover your strength, you can keep those mortals in captivity and slaughter them if they are not enough. The whole world will be theirs, so why would you worry about not having enough food?

An unknown amount of time had passed before the "person" had eaten his fill. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his dark red eyes flickering as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "How long have I slept? What is the situation in the world now? Have you captured the Venerable and brought him back?"

"The blood of these mortals is really hard to drink."

The priest nodded and said respectfully, "Lord, please allow me to explain in detail."

Li Shang's dark red eyes flashed with madness: "Oh, those old guys actually died back then, what a pity, they chopped my body into pieces bit by bit, and it's really hateful that I couldn't take revenge."

Even the priests could not stand the terrifying pressure from him.

He begged for mercy hastily: "Lord, you just woke up, please don't be angry. Those people are dead, but their descendants are still alive. If those people knew, their descendants would be sucked of energy by the Lord every day, which would be the best revenge."

Li Shang thought so too and looked down. The hideous scar on his wrist reminded him of what had happened and what a miserable state he had ended up in. Those people deserved to die, and their descendants deserved to die even more.

"Hmph, now that I am awake, I will naturally go and meet them. I wonder if the descendants of the old man are stronger than they were back then. I should absorb their energy and recover my strength as soon as possible."

The priest nodded repeatedly: "Master, what you said makes sense. Nothing is better than the Venerable. Mortals can't compare to them. It's just that the scars on your body, do you want me to help you remove them?"

He waved his hand, his eyes filled with hatred: "No need, these scars are left to remind me how careless I was in the beginning, which led to such a tragic situation. I was torn apart by others. How hateful."

"Go, bring the woman, and prepare hot water."

"I understand. I'm ready."

Li Shang came to the cave next door, looked at the steaming pool and the charming and enchanting woman, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stepped down into the pool, reached out and grabbed a woman, and pressed her directly on him, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Not long after, the roars of men and the screams of women were heard continuously. It was unknown how long it had been before the sound stopped. The priest was waiting outside the door. When he saw him come out, he lowered his head and looked humble.

"Master, do you want to go and rest? I will let someone clean up here."

"Rest? That's what mortals need. I want to go out for a walk, and you are not allowed to follow me. Stay here and bring back some female venerables. After all, mortals are too weak, and I won't be able to enjoy myself enough."

"...Yes, I understand."

When the priest raised his head again, the person had disappeared. He raised his head and walked in. He saw a naked female corpse lying by the pool. Her body was covered with horrible scars. Her white legs were twisted in strange postures, with a hideous face and terrified eyes.

He clapped his hands and said indifferently, "Don't waste the person who has just died and throw him to the bloody corpses. Clean up this place and replace the water in the pool. The master will need it when he comes back."

"Yes, Lord Priest."

A bloody shadow flashed by and ran towards the southern border.

In the backyard of the general's mansion, Jiang Li, who was still dozing off, opened his eyes with a start and stared straight at the sky with vigilance in his eyes. He flew out of the yard and ran in one direction.

Why is that ominous feeling in my heart so strong?

Two figures fell into the woods, one in front of the other. Jiang Li was tense, staring at the figure in front of him. He felt that the malice in his heart could not be concealed after just one look, so he asked in a low voice: "Who are you and why are you here?"

Li Shang turned around. Under the ghost mask, only a pair of dark red eyes could be seen. He stared at her intently, his eyes full of greed. He licked his lips and said hoarsely, "Your blood... smells so good. I was attracted to you."
