Chapter 2342: Chapter 2342: I Am Human (7)
"The Divine Incense is quite rare." Flame appeared troubled, "I myself..."
"Flame, you are like a brother to me." Jin Yuka quickly put on a flattering demeanor, "Truly, from now on, we will live and die together. Our thirty thousand warriors of Miaojiang will always heed your command."
"Heh." Flame laughed, "The King of Miaojiang is straightforward. Then I should not be stingy. No matter how precious, it must be offered." With that, he reached out, took out an ebony box, and handed it over.
Jin Yuka hurriedly took it, eager to open the box. Although it wasn’t lit, he sniffed the fragrance and showed an extremely satisfied expression: "Then I won’t see you out, I’ll be off." Then he ran off with the box.
Ran Lei glanced at Flame, quickly turned around, and chased after Jin Yuka.
"Master, that Ran Lei..." Watching Jin Yuka and Ran Lei leave, Moxie, standing behind Flame, took a step forward.
Flame raised his hand to stop what Moxie was about to say, "He is still useful." Then he also got up and walked out.
Moxie shut his mouth and hurriedly followed.
Not far behind the military camp, in a mountain hollow, a dozen herbalists were guarding a cave.
When Flame arrived, those herbalists mechanically saluted him.
The cave was naturally formed but had been artificially expanded, creating a rather spacious Stone Chamber inside. However, the natural light was dim, so oil lamps were set up on the walls.
In the middle of the cave, on a stone, a person leaned back, eyes closed in repose.
"King Yun is truly the War God; even in captivity, you remain so calm." Flame stood outside the Stone Chamber, a hint of mockery in his tone.
Qi Jingyun finally opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Flame, almost entirely cloaked in black, and smiled a little, "What good would it do if I weren’t calm? It’d only lead to self-inflicted suffering."
"Frankly, I never thought I could capture you alive. Truly, it is a... delightful surprise!"
"Heh." Qi Jingyun chuckled, "Everyone has their weaknesses. I am human."
"Yang Ruxin!" Flame also smiled, "A country maiden who makes King Yun always remember and commands Gu Qingheng’s unwavering loyalty. To be honest, I am very interested."
"What do you plan to do?" Qi Jingyun’s brow furrowed.
"I haven’t figured that out yet." Flame spread his hands, "But, if I could bring her... by my side, wouldn’t that be quite an achievement?"
"You?" Qi Jingyun’s furrowed brow suddenly relaxed, even revealing a smile, "Dream on."
"Care to give it a try?"
"How?" Qi Jingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, "Make Yang Ruxin fall in love with you? Honestly, it’s not that I look down on you, but you’re not even worth looking at, unless she loses her memory... but I feel that even if she did, she wouldn’t fall for you."
"Things shouldn’t be spoken of so absolutely." Flame raised his gloved index finger and shook it slightly, "You better pray you live that long."
"You won’t kill me just yet, or else you wouldn’t have locked me up here." Qi Jingyun shook his head, "Because I am useful."
"Indeed, that’s the case. At least at certain times, you can become a bargaining chip for exchange." Flame nodded, "I am just very curious, don’t you have ambitions as well? Why not just raise an army and rebel?"
