In the dark of night, the army densely surrounded the ruins.

The knight holding the banner high made way for Xia Yun, allowing her to lead Xia Han through the gap in the broken stone wall to the barren ruins.

"Your Highness." More than a dozen nobles and knight leaders saluted Xia Yun.

Xia Han found that Ji Bai was among them, and Bai Yue was also standing in the distance, only Xiao Sheng was not present.

"Ready to start!"

Xia Yun turned over and dismounted, hugged Xia Han down and put it aside: "Lord Ji Bai, please take care of him." ”

"Okay."

Ji Bai nodded.

"Stay there." Xia Yun touched Xia Han, who had not spoken, and then walked towards the huge unicorn statue, where more than a dozen mages had already formed a circle to cast spells.

What method did they find to get the Kirin?

Xia Han stood his sword on the ground, turned around and asked, "I'm sorry, can you explain the current situation for me?" ”

Ji Bai glanced down at him, and then said, "Please come here" and pulled Xia Han to Bai Yue's position, away from the other nobles.

"Before answering your question, I'll be rude to ask" Ji Bai frowned slightly: "Your Highness, did you come here voluntarily or were you brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Ji Bai's return and Xia Yun's departure happened to be staggered, so he couldn't be sure if Xia Han came here as he wished.

"Of course" Xia Han, who had already made a decision, was going to admit that it was voluntary, but as he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Bai Yue's eyes were cold. The girl looked at him with similar eyes as before, the main color was disgust.

So he temporarily changed his hexagram: "Of course she brought it, I have no interest in your life or death." ”

Xia Han has his own reasons, in order to achieve the Lord of Dusk, the more Bai Yue hates him now, the better.

"That's right."

But his answer disappointed Ji Bai, who commanded the army, could largely determine the ownership of the next king. So as long as Xia Han agrees, he can put him on the throne.

It was a throne that would not be recognized and respected by other nobles, but it was just a matter of dealing with the abandoned son of the Suzaku Continent.

Of the only two remaining royal families in the Jade Empire, one is to be presented to the kings of the Vermilion Bird Continent as the 'King of Sacrifices', and the other can hide and wait for the time to restore the country. Xia Han, who has the reputation of a singer, is the best sacrifice, and the wise Xia Yun is the hope of recovering the country that cannot be lost.

No matter what Ji Bai and even all the people do now, they are loyal to Xia Yun in their hearts. However, in the current situation, Xia Yun's succession to the throne seems to be inevitable.

"We're waking up the Kirin." Ji Bai began to answer Xia Han's question at the beginning, he looked at the statue in the distance: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess successfully obtains its power, then there is nothing to worry about. ”

As long as Xia Yun has power, she is enough to protect herself. This is also the reason why Ji Bai did not force Xia Han to succeed to the throne - they still have hope.

But no man's strength can be achieved overnight, and weak beings cannot withstand great power - this is an eternal truth. Xia Han didn't understand why Xia Yun dared to get involved with the unicorn, what hole cards did she have?

"It's normal for Your Highness to be weird." Ji Bai also understood Xia Han's doubts, and he smiled slightly bitterly: "But sometimes as long as you find a way and pay the price, the powerful power of this world can also be subdued by the fragile human race. ”

"At a cost?"

"The price of inheriting the unicorn is the most expensive thing in the contract - the soul." Ji Bai's expression became solemn: "We spent a few years sorting out the information of the human king, and found that he once said that whoever can have an imperial heart that cares about the world will be able to get the unicorn." ”

"The emperor has such a thing in his heart?" Just listen to the name and know that it is a very weird thing, Xia Han is definitely hopeless.

"I don't understand, Her Royal Highness should know." Ji Bai looked at Xia Yun in the distance, and said something terrible as if nothing happened: "Because she is combined with Her Royal Highness the Queen"

"What? Fit! "Xia Han almost didn't bite his tongue, Xia Yun and Ji Yun were actually combined?

"Yes, the soul fits." Ji Bai nodded: "Her Royal Highness the Empress, who has loved His Majesty Xia Song since she was a child, knows very well what the emperor's heart is, so she signed a soul contract with the princess." ”

"After the death of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the remaining soul fragments of her will enter the soul of the princess, and a part of her memory, knowledge, and heart will be given to the princess."

"But it doesn't seem to be fully integrated right now."

The magic of this world is far beyond Xia Han's imagination.

[Memory, knowledge, and mind can be absorbed.] There is something like this in his heart, everyone's soul is unique, no matter how easy it is, isn't it disgusting to have a world where there is no soul free?

It turns out that Xia Yun's weirdness comes from here.

It's normal for this princess to receive some things from Ji Yun and become weird.

But wait for Xia Han to be suddenly surprised: where did Xia Yun's estrus come from? Because if she absorbs part of Ji Yun's soul, she should have another feeling for Xia Han.

Hate - The Queen's hatred of the Elven bloodline.

That hatred hasn't merged yet?

[Dangerous people. Xia Han sounded the alarm in his heart, and he looked at Xia Yun, the princess with blonde hair fluttering in the wind, as if she would become strange at any time.

"Buzz"

At this time, Xia Yun had already walked into the stone platform, and a slight tremor came from the ground, and the mages' staffs emitted blue light and converged.

The two eyes of the unicorn first burst out of emerald flames, and the wind blowing on the grassland changed direction, and wisps of wind spun around the stone platform as if they had entities.

The sound of falling stones poured emerald light from inside the statue. The flames in the statue's eyes suddenly radiated a dazzling glow, and after a low, terrifying roar, the statue shattered - lightning rushed into the sky with a whirlwind.

"Boom." The black clouds surged like a galloping and roaring wild horse, the sea of grass fluctuated chaotically, and a transparent cyan unicorn shuttled through the clouds for a moment, and then returned to mid-air.

"Is this the world after Loliton's death?" It floated in the air and looked around with interest: "The world full of the taste of the royal sister is really the best!" ”

Xia Han suddenly had a black line on his face, and the strange master brought out even more strange weapons, and the Terran Supreme Treasure Qilin turned out to be a royal sister

But the other people who didn't know the meaning of Lori Royal Sister did not waver, Xia Yun took a few steps forward, bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, my country has been invaded by foreign races, and we need your help." ”

"You just say you want to be my new master." Qilin glanced at Xia Yun: "You are a sign of a woman's birth, and it is suitable for me to be my master." But what?"

It squinted its eyes and looked up proudly: "I'm free, no one wants to control me!" ”

"I recognize your efforts to transform your soul into pieces." Qilin looked at Xia Yun with a hint of sympathy in his eyes: "You cast a forbidden spell in order to have the heart of an emperor, and this effort is commendable"

"But it's a pity that the emperor's heart is lolicon - that is, the lie that you human kings casually tell in order to improve your image." Kirin smiled, "I'm not interested in this thing. ”

Xia Yun's face turned white.

"Lie" she took two steps back in disbelief: "How could it be a lie"

Of course it's a lie, Xia Han felt weird when he heard the 'emperor's heart', how could that Loli-controlled human king not feel like a character with such a great heart.

Poor woman.

The unicorn floated again.

"My power comes from humans, and I become strong by devouring souls. But you are my savior, so I'll let you go for the time being" It looked at the Emerald City to the northeast: "There seem to be a lot of people over there, goodbye"

A burst of lightning surrounded the unicorn, and its figure vanished in an instant—but its last words were a big blow to everyone.

"What did it just say?"

"Let's eat people"

"But isn't it the guardian beast of humanity!"

The army, which had been hopeful, began to falter, and the soldiers put their uneasiness on their faces.

"Quiet!!" With two warnings in a row, Xia Yun and Ji Bai simultaneously exited to suppress the audience.

"We can't take that guy's word for it." Xia Yun seemed to regain his composure and walked out: "Hurry up and follow, it is impossible for His Majesty the King of People to lie, that Qilin must be looking for an excuse to escape - we must subdue it before it attacks the Emerald City!" ”

Ji Bai also walked next to her: "The princess is right, weapons are weapons after all, and we are the masters of weapons!" ”

The two sang and harmonized, and soon suppressed the wavering. The army quickly turned, and the tide poured towards the Emerald City.

Xia Han was also picked up by Xia Yun and galloped forward, the state of the imperial princess didn't seem to be quite right, her eyes kept changing color all the way, and then she restrained the horse halfway.

"You can't go down with me." She put Xia Han on the ground, gritted her teeth and said to him: "There is something wrong with me, I am afraid that if you go with me any longer, I am afraid that it will hurt you"

Ji Yun and her integration went further, but the disgust with Xia Han still seemed to be no match for his liking. Xia Han somewhat understood, he seemed to have figured out how to complete the task of Xia Yun's relationship.

The path of the Lord of Twilight has also been found

"Goodbye." Xia Han waved goodbye to Xia Yun. And with him all the time, there is another person, Bai Yue.

When the sound of horses' hooves shook the ground was gone, only the two children remained in the dark and boundless grassland.

"Why stay?" Xia Han stood opposite Bai Yue, his face expressionless.

"Because my father said" Bai Yue's eyes shook, she pinched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head: "He said that you are my sun." ”

"The sun is lying, isn't it?" Xia Han's voice was not happy, and the words he said were even more ruthless than Han Bing: "I didn't accept the crown, but you followed me just because you were afraid of going to the Emerald City, afraid of the Qilin, and wanted to escape with me." ”

He had never forgotten to observe Bai Yue, a young girl who had not stopped trembling since the Qilin appeared.

Her heart was full of fear - fear of the future, of the unknown, but she did not have the courage to change and face it, so even though she looked at Xia Han with the eyes she hated before, she still couldn't wait to follow him to avoid danger.

Xia Han was used as a straw by her.

Wujing's words were also used by her as a prop to hide her fear.
