The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cang Yue Kingdom——Quezhou Noble House

The sound of birds singing in the early morning woke Ye Ling up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiuyou sitting by the bed with his eyes closed, one hand on his thigh and the other holding his right hand.

Feeling Ye Ling move, Jiu You suddenly opened his eyes: "Are you awake? Are you thirsty? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Ling felt a little distressed: "You sat here all night?"

"I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable if you drink too much," Jiuyou said as he stood up and poured a cup of hot water: "Here, take a couple of sips first. Captain Xi just brought it to you."

Ye Ling stood up and took the cup of water: "I feel a few blisters in my mouth, it hurts a lot."

"Let me see." Jiuyou immediately became nervous.

Ye Ling opened his mouth, and Jiu You examined it carefully: "Three, it must be because of drinking last night that he got a sore throat. Eat lighter these two days."

"Okay." Ye Ling, like a child who had done something wrong, took a few sips of wine and secretly glanced at Jiuyou, wondering: Mengmeng, are you there? Tell me, why is Jiuyou not angry anymore? He should have said something to me!

"Master," Meng Meng said sleepily, "A night has passed, and Jiuyou's anger has long subsided. Besides, he truly loves you, so how could he bear to say anything bad about you? However, I think you should apologize to him. He stayed by your side all night! Is there anyone in this world who cares about you more than Jiuyou?"

"No," Ye Ling said.

"What?" Jiuyou, who was taking clothes, turned around and asked.

"Oh, that..." Ye Ling paused slightly: "I'm sorry about what happened last night! I wasn't drunk, I was just pretending to be drunk. Don't be angry, okay?"

Jiuyou put down the clothes in his hand and sat down on the bed: "I'm not angry, I'm just worried that you'll feel uncomfortable after drinking too much. Look, there are fire cannons in your mouth. It hurts, right?"

Ye Ling smiled happily: "It doesn't hurt at all."

"Nonsense, it must hurt. Have you finished drinking? Get up, put on your clothes, and eat something. It's time for us to set off." Jiuyou is always gentle towards Ye Ling.

Ye Ling looked at the people who stood up to organize their things and smiled unconsciously: Mengmeng, you know what, it was so comfortable to be carried back by Jiuyou last night. It was the first time he felt the pleasure of being carried by a princess, and he was not tired at all, not even out of breath!

"Master, he has internal strength to support him, why is he panting? You are a master after all, why are you so useless?" Mengmeng was speechless.

Ye Ling was still smiling foolishly. Jiu You turned around and said, "Get out of bed! What are you laughing at?"

"The hug you gave me last night was very comfortable," Ye Ling said happily.

Jiuyou was secretly happy: "Hurry up and put on your clothes."

"It's so embarrassing," Mengmeng complained.

A moment later, at the gate of the Guiren Pavilion, Ye Ling said goodbye to Youminglang and got on the carriage with Su Su. Jiuyou was still driving, and the few of them started to set off.

Yue Chi had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.

Yue Kun also came to say goodbye: "Envoy Ye, have a safe journey, and see you again if we are lucky."

"See you again if we're lucky," Ye Ling bowed.

"Let's go." Yue Chi led the way on horseback. There were more than a dozen people in their group, plus a carriage. Yuan Jialin was sitting in the carriage. No matter what, the person had to be brought back.

A group of less than twenty people set out slowly towards the rising sun. After walking about a hundred meters, they saw a group of people coming from the opposite direction.

After seeing the identity flag clearly, Jiuyou pulled his bamboo hat down a little. He didn't want to get into trouble and just wanted to leave Quezhou smoothly. By the way, he reminded the people in the car: "Senior sister, don't show your head. Nangong Xuan is here."

The two teams slowly passed each other. Nangong Xuan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the oncoming team, didn't take it seriously, and lowered the curtain again.

When the team was about to leave, Nangong Xuan suddenly lifted the curtain again: "Stop."

Nangong Xuan's carriage stopped, and Shen Can rode up to the carriage: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Who are they?"

"Langya Pavilion"

"Langya Pavilion?" Nangong Xuanwo thought thoughtfully: "Ye Ling? Stop them."

"Your Highness, they are just passing by. Why should we stop them?"

"I say, stop them," Nangong Xuan said coldly.

"Yes." Shen Can hurriedly whipped his horse: "The horse team in front, wait a moment."

"Oh~" Yue Chi stopped and looked at the person who came: "General, what's the matter?"

"I..." Shen Can didn't know what to say: "Our prince asked you to wait a moment."

Yue Chi knew about the feud between Nangong Xuan and Ye Ling, so he didn't want to stop: "General, we just came out of Quezhou and are in a hurry to get on with our journey."

"There's no need to rush," Nangong Xuan walked over.

Yue Chi had no choice but to dismount and bow, "Your Highness, Prince Xian, I wonder why you are stopping me?"

Nangong Xuan glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Ye Ling's carriage. "I heard that Envoy Ye is also in Quezhou. I wonder if he's traveling with you? What's wrong? Are you afraid to see anyone?"

Ye Ling laughed inside the carriage, immediately pushed open the door, stepped out, and stood on the edge of the carriage: "Your Highness is really a joke. A man who forged the imperial edict and killed tens of thousands of border soldiers dared to come out and wander around. Why should I, Ye Ling, be afraid to see anyone?"

Nangong Xuan was bewildered the moment he saw Ye Ling. This woman was completely different from before. Was he blind to have chosen someone like Ye Yun?

"Your Highness," Shen Can reminded.

Nangong Xuan finally reacted: "Ye Ling, you are so grand, why don't you dismount and pay respect to me when you see me?"

"Hmph," Ye Ling snorted coldly, hands behind his back. "Nangong Xuan, you killed my father and destroyed my family, and I still worship you. Do you really not know what face is? The scene brought back emotions, and you only took two words."

"You are so presumptuous! Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

"A bat with chicken feathers stuck on it, don't forget what kind of bird you are." Ye Ling was not afraid at all: "Tell me, what reason do you have to kill me? Oh, right, you have to silence me! You sent people here time and time again, wasn't it just to silence me? You wanted to cover up the immoral things you have done, Nangong Xuan, God is watching what you do, and if you do evil things too much, you will definitely go to hell."

Nangong Xuan was so angry that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth and said, "This king has always been tolerant of you because you are a woman. Don't think that this king is afraid of you."

Ye Ling burst into laughter. "Your Highness, your tolerance is truly ridiculous. My father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic his entire life, yet you framed him and killed him. It would be unkind of a man to not avenge this. And you still have the nerve to let me pay my respects to you. Haha... What a joke! If someone killed your parents, would you kneel down and thank them?"

"Ye Ling, you are so outrageous," Shen Can couldn't help but speak.

"A dog is not worthy of talking to me? Was there a single lie in what I just said? Nangong Xuan, are you planning to trap me in Quezhou and kill me? You are too naive. If I, Ye Ling, die in your hands one day, you will definitely be buried with me. I don't want to waste time here with you, Junior Brother, let's go."

"Let me see who dares to leave," Nangong Xuan said unconvinced.

"Hey! Junior brother, let's go. I want to see who dares to stop me at the risk of his life. I'm barefoot and I'm never afraid of people wearing shoes. The worst that can happen is a fight to the death. If I don't have a good life, no one else will have a good life either." After saying this, Ye Ling turned around and got into the carriage.

"Gee!" Jiuyou drove the car and went straight forward.

Nangong Xuan actually didn't dare to stop him. He felt that Ye Ling was capable of killing him, so he could only leave in anger.

Looking at the carriage going away, Yue Chi was stunned: "Isn't this too fierce?"

The Dizi Hall guard beside the "Sishi" said, "Sishi Ye is too powerful. From now on, no one will dare to mess with the Renzi Hall!"

"Not bad at all. King Xian was scolded so badly that he had no chance to fight back!" said another guard.

"Okay, let's get going!" Yue Chi jumped on his horse and continued to move forward.

In the carriage ahead, Su Su was filled with admiration for Ye Ling: "Sister, you are so brave! You even dare to scold the prince!"

"He already owes me something, and he even wants to kill me. So why should I be polite to him?"

"That's right. What did you mean by 'touching the scene and evoking emotions'? It only takes up two words. What do you mean? Which two words?"

"What a beast!"

"So that's how it is. I didn't understand it for a moment." Su Su smiled foolishly.

At this moment, Yue Chi jumped onto the carriage.

"Brother Yue" Su Su greeted him.

Yue Chi smiled and nodded in response: "Envoy Ye! You are truly the most fierce woman I have ever seen. It's so satisfying to hear you scold me."

"I didn't scold him today. I just told him the truth. He was in the wrong," Ye Ling said.

"That's true, but are you really not afraid of revenge from the royal family?"

Ye Ling smiled. "The rules of the martial arts world are to shine your own light and not blow out others'. If someone blows out yours, remember to blow out theirs as well, and pull out the wick. Have you ever heard the saying: A truly ruthless person is one who will not hesitate to stand still, but will kill with a vengeance. This is because there is always a Buddha in their heart, and the Buddha suppresses the devil. If you overthrow the Buddha, you will have to face the devil."

"The Buddha in your heart was destroyed by the Nangong family?" Su Su asked.

"Yes, now they have to face me, the demon. The demon is fearless, not afraid of death, free from worries, and has no heart." Ye Ling paused and added, "I have never regretted the path I chose. If I can't get up, I blame myself for not being capable. People like me are not born to flatter others. I accept both glory and despair. Sandalwood will eventually turn to ashes, and stories will eventually be sad. Everything I have said is the past, and nothing I can say is the ending."

"Sister, what if we really make them angry?" Su Su was still timid and fearful.

"I'm a bit of a rebel. I don't take kindly or harsh words. I like people like my sister-in-law who are gentle and kind. If you confront me head-on, I don't mind hurting the enemy by a thousand and myself by eight hundred."

"People like you are very rare!" Yue Chi said.

“People are different!”

Yue Chi nodded: "You are right. What about you being drunk last night? I think you looked pretty wild."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "As the saying goes, wine is closer than men, it hurts the stomach but not the heart. I can't drink much, one drink makes me drunk, two drinks makes me drunk, three drinks makes me feel good in the morning! Other women are very charming after drinking, but I'm different. After drinking, I become like a wild man, and I want to hit anyone I don't like."

"Haha..." Yue Chi laughed: "You are so interesting. I won't be lonely on this journey anymore."

"You will never be lonely where Sister Ye is," said Su Su.

"That's great"

"Departing for home"

Laughter could be heard from the carriage from time to time.
