All along, there had been many records of people who did not fear death. For example, the legend of Bigan digging out his heart. Boyi and Shuqi starved to death in a cave.
It had to be said...
These were all people who were praised by the later generations.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not have the resolve to be a great man. He respected the virtues of the ancient people. However, if he had a choice, he would not hesitate to choose death.
Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die with a bang. Death could be as heavy as Mount Tai, or as light as a feather.
There was no need for Fang Zhengzhi to die now.
Show some backbone?
He shouted, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense with me, if you want to kill me, then do as you please? Then, he stretched his neck and moved his head forward to let Yun Qingwu chop him?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that if someone really did that, they must be seriously ill.
As such, after hearing Yun Qingwu's words, Fang Zhengzhi's first thought was how to survive.
"Why haven't I killed you yet?"
Taken literally, this sentence could easily cause misunderstandings.
For example, it might make people think that I don't actually want to kill you, but I have no choice. It might also be misunderstood as you still have value, if you're willing to give in.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was not naive enough to think that way.
If Yun Qingwu really could not bear to kill him, she would not have allowed Bai Xing to ambush him during the battle at the Icy Monkey Settlement. She would not have stabbed him in the chest and kicked him off the cliff.
As such...
He was certain that Yun Qingwu wanted to kill him.
She wanted to kill him, but did not do so. There was only one possibility. The time was not right.
This was like planting a fruit tree. Before the fruit ripened, one could not eat it no matter how much one wanted to. In other words, once the fruit ripened, the person who planted the tree would pluck it, then...
Eat it!
Fang Zhengzhi did not want to think of himself as a fruit. However, in reality, he was a fruit in Yun Qingwu's palm.
As long as Yun Qingwu wanted to eat him, he would not be able to resist.
Power.
Initially, Fang Zhengzhi thought that he was very powerful. He had entered the Supernatural State and was one of the best among his peers. He was at his peak.
However, why was it that the sun was setting before the sun had even set?
What to do?
Give in and beg for mercy, or betray and join the enemy?
Fang Zhengzhi had indeed thought about it. However, Yun Qingwu was obviously on a different side from him. Under such circumstances, begging for mercy and surrendering to the enemy would only be asking for humiliation.
He couldn't show his backbone, but he also couldn't invite humiliation …
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it was really difficult to answer Yun Qingwu's question.
Yun Qingwu did not continue speaking this time. From her expression, she seemed to be enjoying the current feeling.
"Is this girl's mind a little twisted because of me?" Fang Zhengzhi thought back to the first time he met Yun Qingwu, to their conversation on the pleasure boat, to their encounter outside the Icy Monkey Settlement.
Every time, Yun Qingwu gave him a feeling of coldness and arrogance.
But now …
She felt like a young girl who had obtained some kind of satisfaction.
Was there a need to be so exaggerated?
No matter what, you're a dignified Young Lord of the Demon Race. Shouldn't you set your sights a little further? Zoom in a little? Can you stop staring at me?
I'm just a small fry, can you really be so satisfied?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to shake his head to calm himself down. However, the truth was that he could not shake his head at all. The feeling of being stuck was extremely uncomfortable.
"Do you think that I still have value to you?" Fang Zhengzhi could not think of a better answer after thinking for a long time. In the end, he could only choose to test her.
"That's right!" Yun Qingwu nodded.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly relieved. Having value to be used was something that made him happy. That meant that he still had the right to negotiate.
"Erm … if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. I will definitely do it if I can!" Fang Zhengzhi expressed his attitude very quickly.
"No need, you just have to wait." Yun Qingwu shook her head.
"Wait?" Fang Zhengzhi's heart tightened. He had value to be used, but he did not need to do anything. All he had to do was wait?
Could it be …
Wait for death?
"You guessed right, I want you to wait for death here." Yun Qingwu could easily tell what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, and her smile became even more radiant.
"Wait my ass!" Fang Zhengzhi could not take it anymore.
He would rather die than be humiliated.
Fang Zhengzhi would definitely lower his head if there was any hope of survival. However, it was obvious that Yun Qingwu's attitude did not allow him to live peacefully.
So …
He might as well scold her to vent his anger.
"It should be coming, right?" Yun Qingwu was not angered by Fang Zhengzhi's words. Instead, she raised her head slightly and looked at the almost completely setting sun.
"Coming? Who wants … "Before Fang Zhengzhi could finish his sentence, he quickly shut his mouth. That was because he saw a black shadow, a gigantic black shadow.
"Yo!"
A crisp and loud chirp could be heard from the sky. It was unclear if the gigantic black shadow had blocked the last rays of the sun, or if the sun had completely set.
The clouds were blown away.
The gigantic wings flapped and created a hurricane.
It was a ferocious beast with a pair of gigantic wings. Its fiery red eyes were filled with flames, and its body was covered in snow-white feathers. These were not ordinary feathers. They were feathers that were covered in snow-like scales. In terms of size, this beast looked similar to an eagle.
However, it was different from an eagle. It had a long tail, almost like the tail of a phoenix. It shone brightly.
The Snow Wind Eagle.
This was an extremely rare beast. It was a beast that had the blood of an ancient phoenix.
However, there were two figures standing on the Snow Wind Eagle's back. The one on the left was dressed in bright red armor. She was smirking as she looked down at Fang Zhengzhi.
Her eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain.
Her name was Ping Yang, and she was the Emperor's favorite princess.
As such, the person standing beside her was naturally Chi Guyan. Only Chi Guyan could stand shoulder to shoulder with Ping Yang. Similarly, only Chi Guyan could make Ping Yang listen to her.
Her beautiful black hair, which was like a waterfall, was blown by the wind. Together with her pink dress, they fluttered in the wind.
Chi Guyan's beauty could indeed be said to be the most dazzling in the world, because she was too stunning, so stunning that it made people feel ashamed of themselves. No matter who stood next to her, they would not be able to conceal her peerless beauty.
Especially her bright eyes.
They were a pair of eyes formed from the stars. They were bright, penetrating, and high above everyone else.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yun Qingwu was waiting for an opportunity. However, he did not expect it to be for Ping Yang and Chi Guyan.
"Isn't Chi Guyan at the Heaven Dao Pavilion? And Ping Yang... shouldn't she be in the capital? "Fang Zhengzhi was extremely confused.
He did not know that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang were in the Southern Region.
When Chi Guyan and Ping Yang appeared at the Icy Monkey Settlement, Fang Zhengzhi was already unconscious. After that, he was brought to the army camp by Teng Shisheng.
In the Southern Region army camp...
Of course, no one would mention that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang had appeared at the Icy Monkey Settlement.
In fact, no one would mention the battle at the Icy Monkey Settlement unless it was an important military report.
However, just because Fang Zhengzhi did not know about it did not mean that Yun Qingwu did not know about it.
Yun Qingwu knew that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang were in the Southern Region. As such, she knew that Chi Guyan would definitely come to the Iron Hill Settlement.
"You're here." Yun Qingwu retracted her smile and regained her cold and arrogant expression. She looked at Chi Guyan and did not question her at all. It was almost as if she was greeting a friend.
"Mm, you're here." Chi Guyan's voice rang out from the sky. It was calm, but clear.
Fang Zhengzhi felt a little melancholic.
When he saw Chi Guyan and Ping Yang, he felt conflicted. He hoped that someone would suddenly appear and save him from the hands of the blind old man. However, he did not wish for Chi Guyan to be the one to save him.
This was not because of his pride.
It was because...
He felt that the person who came to save him would be in great danger.
In fact, he had been stalling for time, waiting for someone to save him. Not only was he waiting, but he was also mentally prepared to betray his teammates.
But if the person who saved him was Chi Guyan.
Could he really sell Chi Guyan?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Chi Guyan thought of him, but he was sure that he did not want Chi Guyan to die.
This was what Fang Zhengzhi was conflicted about.
But confusion and melancholy were obviously two different things.
Fang Zhengzhi was feeling melancholic.
That was because when he was conflicted over whether he should sell Chi Guyan out or take the risk to fight alongside Chi Guyan …
But Chi Guyan had already decisively stopped.
The Snow Wind Eagle under her feet and Ping Yang, who was wearing a fiery red armor and had a look of disdain on his face, froze as well.
Most importantly …
Chi Guyan actually chatted with Yun Qingwu! Moreover, they were chatting like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time!
What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that the most important thing now was not to dive straight down and rescue him from the sea of bitterness with a speed as swift as a clap of thunder?
