Chapter 184 - Do Not Do Unto Others

Co-TL by Elanor; Edited by Animeart

Xiao Xuan was thus invited to Southern Xia as a guest.

Ling Fengxiao sat on the high seat within the Marshal’s tent, invited him to drink a cup of tea, talked aimlessly for quite a long time, and then finally asked Xiao Xuan to order his army to withdraw.

Xiao Xuan’s life was in Ling Fengxiao’s hands, so he had to obey. And for the hundreds of thousands of troops, the only Crown Prince of the country was in the hands of the opposite side and hence it was impossible not to retreat.

Northern Xia withdrew in this way. Of course, as they withdrew, Ling Fengxiao’s blood mist followed them every step of the way. It wasn’t until these people returned to the Northern Xia Dynasty, that the blood mist gradually dissipated, and the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The war ended quite suddenly.

In terms of time, it didn’t take long. Originally everyone expected that, starting from the battle of Weichuan, the beacon fire would stretch for a long time, at least for about five years. Either Southern Xia completely defeated Northern Xia, or Northern Xia completely defeated Southern Xia. Who would have thought that, within a day, the army of Northern Xia would withdraw hurriedly, and leave their prince here.

When it came to casualties, it was even more incredible… No one died – if Xiao Xuan were not to be mentioned.

After all, Xiao Xuan was still alive, but in a way could be considered dead.

He wrote a letter to his father under the watchful gaze of Ling Fengxiao.

Something to the effect of, “Father, I’ve been captured, so come and sign the surrender ceremony.”

When he finished writing, he put aside his writing brush and gazed at the letterhead as if he had lost his life.

Ling Fengxiao was not in a hurry and folded up the letter with graceful and elegant movements and sent the envoy to Northern Xia dynasty.

After the letter was delivered, Xiao Xuan looked up again and asked Ling Fengxiao, “Your Beautiful Highness, where have we…”

Ling Fengxiao picked up the tea, took a sip and put it down, his eyes were cold and indifferent: “Your Beautiful Highness? Where is your decorum?”

“Then ……” Xiao Xuan thought for a moment, “Your Highness Fengyang, have we met somewhere?”

Ling Fengxiao made a gesture, and all the others except Lin Shu withdrew.

There was no need to leave someone to protect, and no one was afraid that Xiao Xuan would take the opportunity to escape. To be honest– even Southern Xia’s own people now had lingering fears about Ling Fengxiao’s strength.

Lin Shu had been watching them from behind, but Xiao Xuan’s mood had great fluctuations. It was quite evident that he had no time to notice him.

With no one else in the room, Xiao Xuan resumed his old attitude and flattered, “Beauty, I think you are very good looking.”

“En” Ling Fengxiao smiled.

Lin Shu quietly watched as Xiao Xuan was fascinated by the beauty in front of him and spoke in a delirious manner with words of praise.

Then, Ling Fengxiao leaned against the backrest of the seat and said lazily, “Husband, someone is flirting with me.”

Xiao Xuan: “….”

As a husband, Lin Shu had to naturally cooperate with his little Phoenix’s sudden evil interest in acting.

He walked behind Ling Fengxiao.

Ling Fengxiao squinted his eyes with a face of indulgence and arrogance.

Lin Shu got the signal and pressed his shoulders obediently, then said in a warm voice: “Who is flirting with you?”

Ling Fengxiao coolly glanced in the direction of Xiao Xuan.

Before Xiao Xuan could get out of the sadness that his beauty was already married, he raised his eyes to meet Lin Shu’s gaze.

As a result, he finally saw Lin Shu’s face.

At the beginning, Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao used their female bodies to walk around Northern Xia, using the names and faces of Yusu and Danzhu.

Danzhu’s face was not the same as Ling Fengxiao’s face. Xiao Xuan couldn’t recognize it for a moment, which was understandable. However, Yusu’s face was exactly Lin Shu’s face, which had undergone some dispensable fine-tuning, but anyone with eyes could see the similarity.

Xiao Xuan’s eyes widened.

He stared blankly at Lin Shu for a long time, then shifted his gaze down and looked at Ling Fengxiao again.

Ling Fengxiao’s face was actually a little similar to Danzhu.

Danzhu’s image was charming and flirtatious. In order to increase the effect, Ling Fengxiao painted a cinnabar mole at the corner of her right eye, which enhanced the pair of eyes, making them incredibly charming and kindling thousands of fantasies.

Since then, this person realized the benefits of cinnabar tear mole, and gave Ling Fengxiao more preference.

The same cinnabar tear mole appeared under the eyes of Ling Fengxiao now, giving him a stern and austere, beautiful and incomparable look.

Lin Shu believed that for a person like Xiao Xuan who loved beauty so much, a tear mole was enough to remind him of something that he should think of.

Xiao Xuan’s face was dull and dazed, his lips moved, but no sound came out. Then he took a deep breath and asked, “Your Highness, Your Highness has a sister… named Danzhu?”

Then he swallowed hard and looked at Lin Shu again: “This Immortal Lord, then, has a twin sister called …… Yusu?”

Looking at Xiao Xuan’s expression, it was clear that he himself did not believe his own speculation.

Ling Fengxiao was noncommittal. He just drank tea slowly and sometimes fed Lin Shu a mouthful. His action was extremely provocative.

Xiao Xuan has obviously guessed the bizarre truth, from amazement to shock, from shock to horror, from horror to outburst of anger, from outburst of anger to sadness.

Xiao Xuan, who was extremely sad, said, “Your Highness, you, you, you… Deceived my feelings…”

“The situation was forced. I had to do it as a last resort. Your highness, forgive me.” Ling Fengxiao poured a cup of tea for Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan raised his head and looked at Lin Shu. His attitude towards the man was significantly worse: “You …. I thought you were an out-of-this-world good-looking fairy! Who expected ….. who expected you to be ……!”

Lin Shu was unmoved.

Ling Fengxiao played with Lin Shu’s right hand and said, “He doesn’t come out of the dust now. Isn’t he good-looking?”

“Bah.” Xiao Xuan said, “Man!”

This Xiao Xuan seemed to be on the verge of mental collapse.

Lin Shu thought that it might be this Xiao Xuan and Fruit belonged to the same family.

Ling Fengxiao did not dwell on this issue, but turned to change the subject and said, “Originally, you should have been imprisoned, or executed on the spot ……”

Xiao Xuan was horrified: “No!”

Ling Fengxiao then smiled: “But three years ago when we met in passing, it was the fate of the three of us.”

“No,” Xiao Xuan looked askance at Lin Shu: “Your Royal Highness, I only have a destiny with you.”

Lin Shu: “……”

When the real body of Ling Fengxiao appeared in the future, would it be the day when Xiao Xuan completely collapsed?

Yes.

Ling Fengxiao was noncommittal: “Your Highness helped me a lot during my trip to Northern Xia. You left the ‘Beauty’s Grace’ for both of us. Originally, it was a gift for women. ”

Xiao Xuan blinked and didn’t seem to understand much.

Then, Ling Fengxiao continued: “Later, out of great righteousness, His Royal Highness sent a message, inviting the two of us to go to Northern Xia to kill the Great Wizard, and this Palace was very impressed. Not to mention that because of that encounter with the Great Wizard, I have gotten the full power of the Great Wizard, and my cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds, which led to today’s move of forcing back thousands of horses and troops by myself.”

Ling Fengxiao’s tone was kind.

Xiao Xuan’s entire body, however, stiffened.

Lin Shu looked at His Highness, the Crown Prince sympathetically.

His Highness the Crown Prince finally understood today, as to why he was captured. It was because he had personally sent the Great Wizard’s skills to Ling Fengxiao not too long ago.

He, as the only Imperial son of Northern Xia, was also the biggest internal traitor of Northern Xia.

Xiao Xuan covered his face with his sleeve. His grief was overwhelming. His whole spirit was depressed, which really made people feel sorry for him.

But Lin Shu knew that Ling Fengxiao had no pity. Ling Fengxiao was calm and satisfied that he had broken through all of Xiao Xuan’s defenses.

After breaking through the defenses, it was time to ask questions.

“You already know the previous events, but I have something to ask you.” Ling Fengxiao said.

Xiao Xuan’s tone was uncertain: “If I know everything, I will speak without reserve…”

“Alright.” Ling Fengxiao said, “Where is the Yi Ri Divine Arrow? How did you learn that this object existed in the world? Do you intend to use it to finish me off?”

“Ah, Yi Ri Divine Arrow…” Xiao Xuan’s tone was still uncertain: “Wasn’t it intercepted by you guys?”

Ling Fengxiao suddenly frowned and said furiously, “Intercepted by us?”

“Yes ……” Xiao Xuan’s tone was weak, “The spies I planted in the Phoenix Mountain Villa sent word that there was a treasure in the Southern Xia Imperial Palace that could kill the Phoenix Bloodline, and only the Emperors of successive generations knew the location, so I went to your Palace and tricked His Highness’ brother ……”

Speaking of this, he smiled: “… Younger brother is so easily deceived.”

Ling Fengxiao: “…….”

Lin Shu: “…..”

Xiao Xuan continued: “I got the Divine Arrow. I was thinking there were several people in the realm of Tribulation in Phoenix Mountain Villa. If I could kill them on the battlefield, our dynasty’s chances of winning would greatly increase… I was about to leave the Palace but I was surrounded by a group of underground Imperial Palace guards. I managed to escape, slipped onto the Palace walls and was intercepted by the Empress. I escaped with the help of a peerless magical weapon, but the Divine Arrow couldn’t be saved.”

Xiao Xuan was even more sad when he said this: “After I went back, I was scolded by my father, and he wanted me to take the army myself to the battlefields of Weichuan, in order to offset the crime.”

Xiao Xuan cried bitterly, “Father, I’m sorry ……”

But he seemed to be a little abnormal. In his sadness, he showed a dazed smile: “However, younger brother was nicely deceived.”

Ling Fengxiao’s hand clenched the handle of his blade.

Lin Shu stroked his back.

Sure enough, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lingyang were really similar to each other. All the brains of the Xiao family seem to have grown on Xiao Shao alone.

Ling Fengxiao took a deep breath and his voice was still calm: “Your spies in Phoenix Mountain Villa told you that there was Yi Ri Divine Arrow. You took the Yi Ri Divine Arrow, and then the Phoenix Mountain Villa took it away.”

Xiao Xuan’s movements paused, looked into Ling Fengxiao’s eyes and said incredulously, “So I …… was also deceived?”

Ling Fengxiao: “Otherwise?”

Xiao Xuan: “……”

He froze and spat out four words, “The world deceived me!”

Ling Fengxiao sighed and said, “I locked up Xiao Lingyang in the dungeon.”

Xiao Xuan: “Younger brother is so naive and lovely. Your Royal Highness, you are a bit cruel.”

“That’s right,” Ling Fengxiao said, “I’ll send you to him as a companion, how about it?”

Xiao Xuan: “…..”

The army returned to the dynasty.

Xiao Xuan was like a dead man, and was carried by Ling Fengxiao into the underground palace.

Xiao Lingyang inside the underground palace heard the sound and slapped the iron fence: “Ling Fengxiao ……! You still know to come back! You …… have no conscience! You are not human!”

Ling Fengxiao looked at him through the fence and said, “Not only did I come, but I also brought you a gift.”

Xiao Lingyang: “What? Show me quickly.”

Ling Fengxiao opened the iron door, threw something in, closed it, and was finished in one go. Xiao Lingyang did not even have the opportunity to take advantage of the door to escape.

The thing that was thrown in said, “Beauty, you hurt me!”

Then, Lin Shu heard Xiao Lingyang’s voice: “It’s you?”

Xiao Xuan: “It’s me.”

Xiao Lingyang: “It’s you!”

Xiao Xuan said sheepishly, “It’s me…”

Ling Fengxiao said across the iron gate, “Blood is thicker than water, you brothers are reunited, you can reminisce about the past as much as you want or you can discuss who will take the throne.”

Xiao Lingyang: “I won’t ascend the throne!”

Xiao Xuan: “I won’t ascend the throne either!”

Ling Fengxiao raised his eyebrows: “Why don’t you want to ascend the throne too?”

This time, Xiao Xuan was the one holding the door frame: “Because I don’t want to marry, and after becoming Emperor I will be forced to marry and have children.”

Ling Fengxiao: “Why don’t you want a wife?”

Xiao Xuan said, “I like beautiful beauties, but I don’t want to get involved with them. A beauty should be ice-clean and pure, she should live alone in the flowers or play with another beauty, and should not be tainted with men.”

Ling Fengxiao: “It makes sense.”

Xiao Lingyang: “He is justified in liking beauty, but I am not justified in liking to play?”

Ling Fengxiao: “Not unreasonable.”

“However, unpleasant things often happen,” said Ling Fengxiao, whose voice was gloomy, and was even more depressing in the corridors of the underground palace where echoes were heard everywhere. “The country can not be without a monarch even for a day, you …… might as well think about it.”

The two brothers were quiet.

The sage said, ‘Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you’.

However, it was clear that Ling Fengxiao went against the sage’s words and imposed what ‘he didn’t want others do unto him’, and got pleasure from it.

He took Lin Shu out of the underground palace and completely ignored the banging sound coming from the small black room behind him after a short period of silence.

The two younger brothers seemed to have started fighting and brawling.

But he won’t care.

Lin Shu won’t care even more.

They walked out of the underground palace.

It was night at this time and in the summer night, the stars and the moon were shining, and the sound of crickets could be heard from afar.

Ling Fengxiao looked at the stars and said slowly, “I want to meet Empress Mother… What exactly is she doing?”

Throne: According to the current situation, I should have fallen out of favor.
