Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 167 Yue Shan's Cousin

Watching Hu Wei's departing figure, Yue Shan felt extremely bitter.

"You save people but don't help them to the end. It seems you really hate me to the core."

After struggling for a while, Yue Shan felt unbearable pain all over his body and basically lost control of his body.

The open wound began to bleed continuously.

The pursuers from the Bureau of Impermanence were about to catch up with them.

He wanted to kill himself because he knew that the Bureau of Impermanence was also controlled by the Sovereign-Minister Gu.

Having witnessed his father's despair, he was no longer willing to be controlled by others.

His eyes were full of expectation, hoping for a miracle that might happen at this moment.

Every second that passed felt like an eternity.

The despair in Yue Shan's heart grew stronger.

In the distance, the sound of footsteps could be heard continuously.

A moment later, a pretty girl in a pale yellow maid's dress rushed over.

"Eh... the Azure Dragon General?"

When Yue Shan heard the other person's voice and saw them approaching, he was overjoyed.

"cousin..."

The girl frowned and quickly fed Yue Shan several pills, which could both detoxify and heal his injuries.

"Cousin Yueshan, what are you doing here...?"

Yue Shan gave a bitter smile: "You'd better get me out of here quickly, the Impermanence Division is still chasing me..."

Huang Ling didn't think much of it and quickly picked up Yue Shan.

A stone skateboard emerged from beneath my feet, and I began to glide directly through the mountains and forests.

Before long, many people from the Impermanence Bureau who had come to search began to search the mountains and forests.

Meanwhile, many members of the Pei family were also searching for Huang Ling's whereabouts.

The two were hiding in a cave, the entrance of which was sealed by Huang Ling using her true energy to form stones.

After lying in wait for an hour, Yue Shan seemed to regain consciousness again due to the effects of the medicine.

Looking at the somewhat tired girl beside him, he felt a surge of deep emotion.

"yellow..."

"Just call me Ling'er, cousin..."

She smiled slightly and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Yue Shan recalled their past.

Sometimes, I would go to the Huang family in Yuanzhou to celebrate the birthday of Old Master Huang, and at the same time, I would visit the old master in order to awaken my Kun Yuan True Qi.

I met her back then, but I was very young and have almost no memory of her.

Later this year, I went to the Huang family to borrow troops to suppress bandits in Leizhou, and I met her then.

Recalling the past, Yue Shan asked, "Cousin Ling'er, why are you here...?"

Huang Ling smiled faintly: "Cousin, before we begin, I'd like to ask you a question..."

Yue Shan frowned but still said decisively, "My cousin saved my life, and I will tell you everything I know."

Huang Ling carefully examined Yue Shan's mature face, then decisively asked, "Cousin, are you married to Wei Qing in Leizhou?"

Yue Shan was startled, wondering why she would ask this. Could it be that she had taken a liking to him?

Thinking of this, Yue Shan also glanced at Huang Ling.

To be honest, Huang Ling is good-looking, but she can't compare to Wei Qing, Gu Qinghan and others.

Her round face and deep eyes seemed to hold ambition and wisdom.

After a moment's thought, Yue Shan replied, "Wei Qing and I are just like brother and sister, just like my cousin and I."

Huang Ling was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

She had heard the story of Yue Shan and Wei Qing, but she never expected that the two had no romantic relationship.

Overjoyed, she asked, "Cousin, since that's the case, would you be willing to marry me?"

Yue Shan had already guessed it, but he still found it somewhat unbelievable that a girl like her could be so decisive.

He struggled to his feet and looked at her face.

She was only eighteen years old. A girl that age would surely lower her head and blush when faced with the gaze of a boy her own age.

But she wasn't afraid at all; she just stared nervously at Yue Shan.

After hesitating for a moment, Yue Shan nodded: "Since my cousin thinks so highly of me, I am not ungrateful. However, my parents have just passed away, and I am probably not in the mood for marriage at the moment..."

Huang Ling finally showed joy on her face.

"It's good that my cousin agreed..."

Yue Shan smiled faintly: "Why is my cousin in such a hurry?"

After thinking about it, Huang Ling decided to make things clear.

"To be honest, His Majesty is now forcing my Huang family to marry our eldest daughter to the Pei family in order to demonstrate the Huang family's loyalty to the Wuji Empire."

From this point on, Pei Xu, the young master of the Pei family, will be stationed in Yuanzhou and become the new prefect of Yuanzhou.

Originally, I was not the legitimate daughter of the Huang family, but now I have been pushed out to replace the real legitimate daughter, Huang Qian, to marry Pei Xu.

Pei Xu is over forty years old, fat and ugly. How can I marry such a man?

So I ran away; I was going to go to Leizhou to join the Valley God Cult.

Today I met my cousin and heard about the misfortunes in his family. Ling'er knows she is not good enough for him, but she has no choice but to shamelessly ask him for help.

Huang Ling spoke very naturally; as a concubine's daughter, she was naturally not a good match for Yue Shan in terms of status.

Although the Yue family may seem to have declined, as long as Yue Shan still controls the army, and even shows signs of siding with the Crown Prince and the Valley God Sect, the Yue family will not decline.

Furthermore, Yue Shan's achievements were undeniable: he defeated the King of Chu's army of 100,000, forcing the King of Chu to hold his ground and not dare to make any moves, and captured 72 cities in five days.

All of this is sufficient to prove Yue Shan's abilities.

Huang Ling couldn't help but be attracted to a nobleman who was exceptionally capable, handsome, and even single.

After listening to her description, Yue Shan sighed silently: "Now I'm nothing but a fugitive, what's there to be unworthy of..."

"Then...may I ask you, cousin, now that the Yue family is in such dire straits, what are your next plans?"

Huang Ling stared intently at him, her eyes revealing a strong sense of anticipation.

Yue Shan was stunned; he had never seen such intense longing in a woman before.

"I, Yue, shall raise high the banner of avenging my father, denounce the King of Qi for his inhumanity and injustice, for murdering my brother and father, and then assist the Crown Prince in regaining the throne and restoring peace and order to the world!"

Yue Shan's words made Huang Ling frown, and she immediately retorted, "So what? How can you be sure the Crown Prince won't be the next Prince Qi? How can you be sure the Yue family's past won't repeat itself?"

When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away. This is an eternal truth!

Now that your uncle-in-law has given you a warning with his life, are you still going to follow in your great-grandfather's footsteps?

Huang Ling's words struck Yue Shan's heart once again. He was confused, and then he said with some helplessness.

"So what? Do you think I'd help the King of Chu? The other noble titles are insignificant..."

Huang Ling immediately shouted, "Cousin! You have the ability to conquer the world, why not take your place?!"

At this moment, she was extremely excited, her eyes shining brightly, looking at Yue Shan as if he were a priceless treasure!

Yue Shan felt a slight tremor in his heart, and a surge of hot blood welled up inside him.

But after a moment, he became somewhat dejected.

"Yue Shan is incapable of governing... In terms of governing the world, I will never be as good as Xu Tianyi, the Master of the Valley God Sect..."

Huang Ling was indignant: "Yue Shan! You are a soldier. You can break the morale of the entire army and win the heart of a general! How could you be so dejected in the face of a powerful enemy? Could it be that all your achievements are fake?!"

No, you can learn. I can help you, and the Huang family can help you too!

There are many talented and extraordinary people in the world, so how can you be so sure that Xu Tianyi's governance skills are unparalleled?
