Chapter 7: Bed? What a beautiful thought!

How malicious is this person

"Stopping is impossible." Li Tianzhao set the woman in white down, took out two large flatbreads and a small wine flask from his bosom, all warm to the touch. The woman hurriedly took them, eating and drinking, and soon felt her body begin to relax.

The attacker fell into the snow, tearing the wound on his waist, shattering the covering ice and snow, and a large amount of blood flowed out again. He frantically supported his body to get up, hurriedly looking at Li Tianzhao, and upon discovering that his injuries were not serious, he couldn't help but scream in greater fear.

The captain of the travelers at the Hall of Self-Cultivation was waiting for this moment; the long sword suddenly lunged towards Li Tianzhao's neck, delivering a fatal blow with no intention of showing mercy

Li Tianzhao urged her to finish eating quickly, then lifted her onto his shoulder and hurried towards the village

In the aftermath of his fear, Li Tianzhao felt a surge of anger within his chest. Hearing the assailant's tone of humiliation only fueled his rage further. He charged forward and delivered a kick, not waiting for the man to swing his long sword again, striking him squarely in the face.

At noon, the captain of Wangtian Village and his team returned

In this moment, Li Tianzhao saw the excitement of revenge reflected in the bloodshot eyes of the attacker, but more than that was—greed

If you dare to show disdain for my loyalty to the Xuantian Martial King again, I will make it so you cannot speak!

Looking back at Tian Village, the captain will hand you over, and I do not know anything else. Li Tianzhao's response was concise, and at this moment he also felt a bit hungry, but he did not want to stop his steps to avoid unnecessary complications

Li Tianzhao could not calm down for even a moment, so he bound the woman's hands and tied her ankles, dragging her along the snow by the rope above.

That person, having received no help, could only crawl with all their might, crawling, crawling, crawling...

However, she was clearly overthinking, as Li Tianzhao slept soundly in the warm bed until dawn broke.

"That makes sense, then it is only natural for you to fend for yourself," Li Tianzhao said without any expression as he continued to pack up the spoils, pulling the rope and dragging the woman in white along.

Li Tianzhao carried the woman in white on his shoulder, dragging the bundled spoils as he hurried back.

A flash of sword light arrived, striking Li Tianzhao's neck

As he leaned in and crouched down, that person suddenly moved

However, this thought was quickly cast aside by her with great force

After such a futile struggle for a moment, I lost all my strength, and only then did I feel the coldness of the ice and snow against my back

His parents are the valiant couple who fought to the death! They are the heroes who died in battle for the Xuantian Martial King, how could he possibly betray them!

"Why does he want to protect you?" Li Tianzhao actually had his suspicions, but still wanted to ask.

Li Tianzhao pinched the edge of the cloak and discovered that it was made of mink fur

The assailant had been scheming, and at this moment, he was crouching down halfway, leaving no time to evade.

The traces of their visit have also been concealed

However, this time, even though he lowered his voice somewhat, the woman still appeared utterly stunned, her expression filled with panic and unease, evoking a strong sense of protectiveness in those who looked at her

The woman in white was pressed against the icy ground, regaining her senses from the panic, and struggled with all her might. However, she was being dragged, and her hands grasping the icy surface provided no leverage.

Li Tianzhao's sturdy palm struck the assailant's face

As for his parents, whenever they mention the Xuantian Martial King, they often add the word "great"

Even though these two martial kings have never actually met, let alone understood each other, they have only heard good and bad things from the villagers.

Li Tianzhao could not find the village team leader and the others. After experiencing the schemes of the captain of the Xiushen Hall, he realized that he was in a situation where possessing something valuable could lead to trouble. He searched frantically throughout the mountains, wondering what he would do if he encountered others trying to seize his achievements.

Li Tianzhao felt a slight regret for the life and death of this stranger, but at that moment, he was considering the completeness of this person's weapon and how much credit he could gain by bringing it back

Upon returning to the village, the village leader and his party had not yet returned

Now he draws his sword, and it is too late regardless of the circumstances

The impact caused the captain of the pedestrians in the collision to tilt his head back, his strength in his hands also exhausted, and his body fell uncontrollably.

However, it is said that the woman in white does not have a battle mark, which everyone finds regrettable. Acknowledging that her contributions are not significant, they advise Li Tianzhao not to lose heart, as it is still a contribution, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to achieve great merit again

Feigning death, just to wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack. If he succeeds, all of Li Tianzhao's achievements will be taken by him without any effort

Li Tianzhao's sword, along with the blade of the Hundred Battles General, is sheathed in the scabbard at his waist.

He dragged the woman in white back, and before long, he heard her cry out. Turning his head, he saw her body trembling from the cold, her eyes filled with a strong plea.

Immediately following is a lingering sense of fear and apprehension

Li Tianzhao delivered several kicks in succession, rendering the person he struck as weak as a thread of silk, unable to move, and only then did he cease his actions

No wonder it is said that the Feng Wu King’s realm is chaotic; it is indeed unfair. Allowing people to decide their own marriage partners results in such incompetent women being able to rely on the achievements of their husbands, who are valiant warriors, to wear such fine white weasel fur cloaks! Li Tianzhao, like the villagers, was filled with disdain for the Feng Wu King and held deep respect for the Xuantian Wu King

The woman in white regained her composure and, thinking of her impending fate, felt a sense of panic and unease. Unable to contain herself, she asked, "Where... where will you take me? What will happen to me?"

Shut up! Li Tianzhao was very angry; this is simply an insult

Li Tianzhao saw that the person was covered in blood, likely too weak to launch another attack. After catching his breath, he noticed the woman in white crawling away like a maggot. He went over and dragged her back to the starting point, ignoring her futile attempts to crawl away in fear. He then confronted the captain of the group heading towards the Xiushen Hall, questioning: "Murder and usurpation of merit! Even if you succeed, your actions will be recorded in the battle seal. Are you not afraid of the punishment from the Xuantian Martial King?"

They have caught minks in their village, but due to the merits of the villagers, no one is qualified to use them

The woman in white was dragged into the room by him, where she saw only a bed. Although she had imagined countless terrifying outcomes since her capture, she was immediately filled with fear, struggling desperately to retreat, repeatedly saying: "No, no! I don't want to sleep with you! I don't—"

The woman in white was filled with fear, her body trembling, and she was unable to utter a word

The woman in white felt somewhat dazed ... The nightmare scenario she had imagined did not occur, however, she soon realized that she truly wanted to go to bed and sleep

In the blink of an eye, without a moment's hesitation, Li Tianzhao instinctively struck out with a palm towards the assailant

Li Tianzhao only mentioned that he had captured a prisoner and brought back the spoils of war, which he placed directly in the house, without allowing those who remained in the village to see them

Until then, he could no longer climb and was completely frozen.

The woman in white fell silent for a moment, then mustered her courage to say, "Could you let me go? If you can send me back, I promise I will repay you; the rewards I can offer will surely be greater than what you could gain here!"

The belongings of our own people, anything useful should be brought back, as it is all a contribution, especially the battle seals

I will go back to the village directly Li Tianzhao looked at the vast expanse of white snow, the area where the team had departed, and there were no traces of the villagers.

It seems that Li Tianzhao does not understand the concept of cherishing beauty, as he not only dragged her along but also took her white cloak and draped it over his own back

Li Tianzhao found an old quilt that had been changed and tossed it over, then comfortably lay down on the bed and fell asleep

Li Tianzhao's anger subsided somewhat, and he suddenly felt that there was no point in arguing with this person. Indeed, this is a world where only achievements speak. His parents, after all, died for the sake of their accomplishments

In the early hours of the morning, when it was unbearably cold, the woman in white could not help but entertain a shameful thought: 'If only I could get into bed and sleep, even if it meant being humiliated by him a little... '

The woman felt somewhat better, but it was still too cold. She shivered all the way, and after a short while of gritting her teeth, she pleaded, "Can we stop and find a place to warm up? I'm really about to freeze to death! I'm begging you!"

"Sleep with me?" Li Tianzhao said irritably as he forcefully yanked, throwing the woman in white to the corner of the room. In a swift motion, he tied the rope to the beam, then took another piece to bind around her waist, securing the other end to his own hand.

Tian Cang Mountain is vast

The snow is falling too heavily

The ground is cold! Bound by the rope, she reluctantly lay down, unable to fully stretch her arms on the ground. She could not sleep for long before being awakened by the cold. As she curled up and shivered, her eyes were filled with longing for that bed

Li Tianzhao secretly regretted that several weapons had been severed. After dealing with a few individuals, he finally approached the captain who was half-kneeling on the ground. This person's weapon was the only one that had not been destroyed by the Hundred Battles General.

Li Tianzhao dragged the woman in white back, glanced at the captain of the line of people in the Xiushen Hall, who remained in a half-kneeling position, clearly dead. He then carefully searched through the belongings of the Wind Martial King Baizhan General, and proceeded to tidy up the belongings of those few individuals in the Xiushen Hall.

I, I am about to freeze to death, please, please save me, save me...

In the end, Li Tianzhao said to the woman in white, "You can sleep in the corner! Do you want to sleep in the same bed as me? You think too highly of yourself!"

However, several people are missing

The woman in white could not help but experience the taste of being a captive

The villagers inevitably became quite lively, praising him for his achievements, and saying that he was as brave as his parents. Some remarked that they had known he was extraordinary since he was a child

The man gasped for breath for a moment, then regained some strength, sneering twice before choking a bit. After pausing, he finally spoke: "How could the Xuantian Martial King have the time to look at the memory fragments of an unknown nobody? Only those who have stepped into the Martial King's Hall are qualified to be given such attention. I have never aspired to such lofty future. Killing you will allow me to gain the merit of defeating a hundred battle generals for free! In this world, only achievements speak. With such an opportunity before me, I wouldn't even trust my own siblings, let alone someone with whom I have no ties!"

Li Tianzhao's mind was almost blank; he instinctively raised his hand to wipe the wound, realizing that it was shallow and there was not much blood, which eased his mind

He shouted for mercy without hesitation, admitting his mistakes and seeking forgiveness, but Li Tianzhao paid him no mind, dragging the woman in white further and further away, until she soon disappeared from sight

After two consecutive blows, the person's face and nose were covered in blood, and they could no longer scream. Before they could fall and get back up, their hand was stepped on, causing them pain, and the sword was suddenly knocked from their grasp

The woman in white shuddered in fear and dared not speak again

Li Tianzhao, having eaten and drunk to his satisfaction, bid farewell to everyone and returned to his room

The blade cut through the skin on Li Tianzhao's neck, followed by a chill, and then warm blood.

However, when used for tax payments, it can deduct a considerable amount of output. This item, when taken back, must also be reported, which can translate into significant merits.

Damn! Damn! Damn the villager!

The captain of the travelers at the Hall of Self-Cultivation looked around and found no one in sight. In the vastness of Mount Tiancang, what are the chances of encountering someone passing by? Life and face, of course, the former is far more important.

The snow covered him and his teammates, concealing the hundred battle generals under the white, thick snow, who belonged to the Wind Martial King.
