Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

The aunt standing in front was standing with her hands on her hips and cursing when she saw a man in black clothes walking on the water. The strong wind blew his clothes into the air, and his face seemed to be frozen with the thousand-year-old ice on the cliffs. At first glance, he looked like a god descending into the world.

The sword energy whizzed past, and the next moment, the long sword thrown by the man who looked like a banished immortal flew straight towards the fire altar and directly split the blazing flames.

The tall column had its foundations burned by the raging fire, and it fell down with a clang, causing sporadic flames on the ground to jump up and splash everywhere.

The thick smoke made it hard for people to breathe, and everyone hurriedly covered their noses and moved away, but they saw that the man ran towards the sea of fire without hesitation and without looking back.

"Ah! young man!"

"Sir!"

When Gu Fan and his group arrived later, they only saw Ning Yunxiao going to the fire alone.

The fire altar was split open by the sharp blade, and the fire was much smaller than before, but if a mortal body went in like this, he would probably end up with his skin torn to pieces.

"What are you standing there for?" Gu Fan was so anxious that he grabbed the bucket from the villagers and ran straight to the stream, "Put out the fire!"

The villagers really couldn't understand what this farce meant. They scratched their heads in confusion and said, "It's burned like that. Even if we get out, we won't survive."

The crackling noise of burning wood filled his ears, but these words just happened to float into his ears.

Then, they saw that in the flames, the man turned his head and looked over, like the god of death crawling out of hell, his eyes were red in the flames.

"Shut up."

The two simple and concise words revealed a bone-chilling chill. His suppressed anger was clearly revealed at this moment, and the bulging veins on the back of his hand further demonstrated his uneasiness.

Everyone was so frightened by Ning Yunxiao that no one dared to speak again. The whole forest was eerily quiet, and even the air seemed a little chilly.

"what--"

Just then, a scream broke out from the crowd.

Following the source of the sound, I saw a well-mannered man with a dagger held against his neck. His face was full of fear, and blood was flowing down the blade, staining his clothes red.

The person holding the knife was actually a girl in white with bright eyes and white teeth. The girl's body was covered in blood, her face was pale, but her eyes were extremely determined.

"Princess?!"

Among Gu Fan's group, someone quickly recognized the woman's identity and excitedly waved to the people in the sea of fire.

"Prince, it's the princess. The princess is still alive!"

Looking across the dense forest filled with shadows of people, Ning Yunxiao saw Jiang Lige at a glance. He saw her smiling at him. She was as beautiful as a painting, but she was like a glass scroll that would shatter with the wind.

Then she called him, "Prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came walking on fire, kicked the kidnapped man over, and then took the girl into his arms without saying a word.

The scorching breath hit his face like fire, and a warm mist fell on his neck. Ning Yunxiao hugged him tightly, his body trembling slightly, making Jiang Lige almost breathless.

She looked up at him, only to see bloodthirsty fury in his scarlet eyes, and beneath his suppressed anger there seemed to be...

A fleeting grievance?

"Why did you leave the palace without a word? Why did you act on your own? Why didn't you wait for me? What if something happens to you and you let me...what should we do?"

Jiang Lige was stunned when he heard this. He was in a trance and couldn't tell what he felt, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

This was the first time he ran towards her without any hesitation; it was also the first time he spoke to her at such length.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lige felt his heart pounding non-stop. Thinking of what happened today, he had to force himself to calm down. After hesitating for a while, he murmured, "Prince, Song Yue..."

"She's fine, only slightly injured. I've sent someone to take her back to the palace."

"Uh." Jiang Lige nodded, and after thinking about it, he comforted Ning Yunxiao: "Prince, I'm fine."

"It doesn't look like it."

"..."

Jiang Lige was speechless and could only point at Bai Fenglin on the ground with his toes in a very boring manner, "Bai Fenglin colluded with the bandits to assassinate me. The evidence is solid."

"Oh, you traitor, you should be killed."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yunxiao slowly loosened the shackles on Jiang Lige. A cold and arrogant sneer sounded above his head. The warmth Ning Yunxiao had just shown towards the girl disappeared at this moment. After he said this, the air around him instantly became several degrees colder.

"No."

Jiang Lige stopped Ning Yunxiao and said, "Why did Bai Fenglin want to harm us? Who is helping him behind the scenes? How deeply is he involved with those bandits? We need to know all this."

"Yeah." Ning Yunxiao nodded slightly and called out, "Fengquan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Feng Quan walking over with a cloak in his hand. Seeing Jiang Lige's eyes red, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Yunxiao took the cloak and draped it over Jiang Lige's shoulders, saying softly, "Get in the carriage and rest first. I'll take care of the rest."

"Thank you, Prince."

After going through so much trouble, Jiang Lige really didn't have the energy to be polite to Ning Yunxiao anymore. He nodded and got into the carriage with Feng Quan's help.

Watching Jiang Lige go away, the smile on Ning Yunxiao's lips finally disappeared completely, replaced by bloodthirsty murderous intent.

With two crisp "clicks", Bai Fenglin's two arms were cut off, and his screams like a pig being slaughtered resounded through the forest.

As if annoyed by his noise, Ning Yunxiao snorted lightly, twisted his fingertips and removed Bai Fenglin's jaw again. This time, Bai Fenglin was in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face, but he couldn't scream.

Ning Yunxiao was calm, and kicked Bai Fenglin to Gu Fan's feet, "Tie him up."

"okay!"

After Ning Yunxiao finished dealing with Bai Fenglin, he turned around naturally, and his gaze finally fell on the villagers present.

First it was the princess and then the prince. The villagers who were surrounded by officers and soldiers had never seen such a scene.

Seeing Ning Yunxiao's fierce attack again, everyone was extremely frightened and trembling like a sieve. Some of the timid ones couldn't even stand steadily.

But Ning Yunxiao glanced at them indifferently, but he was not embarrassed. Instead, he opened his thin lips and spoke appropriately, with reason and evidence, which made everyone present ashamed.

"According to Shengling's laws, no one can be executed without a crime. Arbitrary lynching and taking someone's life is equivalent to murder. I, Ning Yunxiao, punish treacherous officials and corrupt officials, but I will not take action against ordinary people. Your mistakes will be dealt with by the government."

After saying this, Ning Yunxiao turned his head and gave the order: "Identify the identity, sign and seal, and release if you are innocent."

Everyone took the order and started moving. Seeing this, Jiang Lige lowered the curtains, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to rest.

My mother is absolutely right. Once someone like Ning Yunxiao ascends to a high position, it will indeed be a blessing for the people of the world.

Feng Quan dipped a cotton ball in medicine and gently applied it to the wound on Jiang Lige's arm. He couldn't help but start lecturing.
