Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Even City Lord Zheng could not have imagined that Ye Wushuang had no fear of the Nanyang Guard. It wasn’t until the moment the Ancient Sword pierced his skull that he truly understood how terrifying Ye Wushuang was.

Unfortunately, that understanding came too late.

"You... you killed him!"

Cai Lang flinched, pulling his head back. Ye Wushuang’s sword was so ruthless. Without another word, he had killed a man!

Ye Wushuang turned his head, his cold gaze fixing on Cai Lang.

Those savage eyes made Cai Lang jump in fright.

"Quick, kill this bandit!" Cai Lang shrank back, retreating behind the crowd in terror as he shrieked.

"How dare you act so atrociously in Nanyang City! Seize him!"

Captain Liu was furious. The name of the Nanyang Guard was known to all in Nanyang City. Yet now, a bandit had killed someone right in front of them. It was a blatant show of disrespect.

In an instant, the Nanyang Guard surrounded Ye Wushuang, charging forward with their long spears. Waves of powerful Divine Sense also locked onto him.

"This guy is committing murder in Nanyang City! He’s too bold!"

"He’s surely a dead man this time!"

The crowd snapped back to their senses, staring at Ye Wushuang. They simply couldn’t imagine someone being so incredibly audacious.

To kill someone in front of the Nanyang Guard—was there any chance he’d survive?

However, just as the crowd began to murmur, the Nanyang Guard members, who had only taken a few steps, suddenly froze in place!

Every pair of eyes was fixed on the cyan token that had suddenly appeared in Ye Wushuang’s hand.

The Captain’s Order!

Captain Liu’s pupils contracted. How could he not recognize that cyan token? It was the identification token of their North Camp’s Deputy Captain.

"What are you all standing around for? This man is a bandit, kill him!"

From behind the crowd, Cai Lang, who hadn’t yet grasped the situation, yelled when he saw the Nanyang Guard freeze.

"You, shut your mouth!"

Captain Liu snapped his head around and barked the order.

A terrifying killing intent made the very air turn cold.

Cai Lang trembled, staring at Captain Liu in disbelief.

The crowd was also stunned into silence by the shout.

And what shocked them even more was that Captain Liu, along with all the other Nanyang Guard members, dropped to one knee.

"Captain!"

Captain Liu forced out the title, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. In his heart, he wished he could kill Cai Lang himself!

’What bandit? This is a setup!’

Captain!

When this title was spoken, the crowd stared at Ye Wushuang in shock. A Captain of the Nanyang Guard—who would dare to attack him?

Of course, the most astonished person of all was Lan Xinyu.

He had left in the morning and returned in the afternoon. In just a short while, Ye Wushuang had become a Captain of the Nanyang Guard. It made her head spin!

"Rise."

Ye Wushuang said coolly, putting away the cyan token.

With a single grasp of his hand, City Lord Zheng’s body vanished, having been absorbed for Refinement by the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron.

"Yes, Captain!"

Captain Liu responded.

"Captain, we didn’t know..."

Captain Liu hurried forward to explain, but Ye Wushuang cut him off with a wave. "There’s no need for explanations. This was just a bandit’s attempt to sow discord, aiming to make the Nanyang Guard fight amongst themselves. His intentions were truly wicked. You were unaware of the situation, so you are not to blame."

With that, Ye Wushuang walked toward Cai Lang.

"What do you think you’re doing?"

Cai Lang’s expression changed, and he retreated step by step.

"As the young master of the Governor’s Mansion, you colluded with a bandit. Your crime is not a light one," Ye Wushuang said coldly.

Hearing this, Cai Lang nearly coughed up blood. He had brought City Lord Zheng from the Governor’s Mansion. How could he possibly be a bandit?

’Could a bandit infiltrate our Governor’s Mansion?’

"He’s not—"

Cai Lang roared, trying to explain.

Ye Wushuang took a step forward and slapped him across the face. SMACK! Cai Lang’s voice was cut short as he was sent flying several hundred meters.

"If you weren’t the young master of the Governor’s Mansion, the crime of colluding with a bandit would have been enough to get you killed."

Ye Wushuang casually withdrew his hand, snorted coldly, and walked back with his hands clasped behind his back.

Watching Ye Wushuang’s hand, the people in the crowd suddenly felt a phantom chill on their own cheeks. Subconsciously, they all reached up to touch their faces.

Their faces were still there!

A wave of relief washed over them, as if they had been worried that their own faces would be slapped clean off by Ye Wushuang!

Captain Liu’s eyelid twitched, his eyes wide.

That was the young master of the Governor’s Mansion. A single slap like that had probably mangled his face.

But how could he have known that Ye Wushuang had actually wanted to kill Cai Lang?

However, considering he still needed to find the Nirvana Cave Mansion, it wasn’t a good time to completely fall out with the Governor’s Mansion, which was why he had spared Cai Lang.

"Continue your patrol. See if any other bandits have infiltrated the city," Ye Wushuang called out to Captain Liu nonchalantly before entering the Drunken Guest Tower.

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Liu responded, muttering to himself, ’When I get back, I have to investigate this new Captain.’

’I’ve never seen him before.’

’If it weren’t for the Captain’s Order, I would have suspected he was an impostor.’

"He ran into a real monster. Cai Lang deserved his bad luck!" Captain Liu shook his head. While offering a moment of silent pity for Cai Lang, he led the Nanyang Guard away from the inn.

Lan Xinyu and Xiaoo Yue followed Ye Wushuang into the inn.

It wasn’t until they were back in their room that Lan Xinyu let out a "Pfft" and burst into laughter.

It was a truly dazzling smile. A beauty’s laughter was indeed a pleasure to behold.

Ye Wushuang also smiled slightly, knowing what Lan Xinyu was laughing about. "You two should go rest as well. Also, Xinyu, prepare a bathtub for me tomorrow."

Hearing this, Lan Xinyu nodded and left with Xiaoo Yue.

’The Dragon Blood Pool should have some Dragon Blood by tomorrow!’

Ye Wushuang murmured to himself. The Dragon Cat had said two more days. One day had passed, so there should be some tomorrow!

The thought of transforming into a Flood Dragon and soaring through the sky filled Ye Wushuang with anticipation.

’I can’t wait to see what the Flood Dragon Embryo will bring me.’

Ye Wushuang thought to himself, then let out a slow breath. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began his Cultivation.

「The next day.」

Ye Wushuang didn’t leave his room. The assessments were still ongoing at the training grounds, so he had nothing else to do and simply waited for the Dragon Blood to appear.

It was evening when Lan Xinyu brought the bathtub into Ye Wushuang’s room.

"Sir, the hot water is ready!"

Standing by the tub, Lan Xinyu called out softly.

Ye Wushuang walked over, took a look, and nodded.

"Sir, allow me to help you undress," Lan Xinyu said, her voice extremely soft. The thought of serving the man before her made her pretty face turn bright red.

However, she knew that as Ye Wushuang’s maid, helping him bathe was part of her duties.

So, she could only swallow her shyness and extend her slender hands to help remove Ye Wushuang’s clothes.

This action, however, made Ye Wushuang freeze, and he stared at Lan Xinyu.

Lan Xinyu was so embarrassed she buried her head in her chest, a blush instantly spreading from her face down to her delicate neck.

She didn’t dare to look him in the eye, her gaze darting to the side, while her slender hands fumbled aimlessly over Ye Wushuang’s body!

Instantly, a fire began to stir within Ye Wushuang!
