514: Chapter 160 The True Seven-Element Fusion Forbidden Curse, I’m Not Just Scaring You (Part 2) 514: Chapter 160 The True Seven-Element Fusion Forbidden Curse, I’m Not Just Scaring You (Part 2) It was this Battle of the Bewitching City, the Six Paths of Reincarnation, that pletely resolved the mutually destructive stalemate between the two sides.
Although she had lost and so had the Six Paths of Reincarnation, which brought a great blow to morale, at least these three hundred thousand people were still alive and could head to the battlefield for the decisive battle with the Beastmen.
These were three hundred thousand lives, after all; with them around, it wouldn’t be so easy for the Beastmen to invade the heartland of Milan.
As Nina thought about all this, her mood gradually relaxed, and her farsighted mind immediately connected the current situation with the Six Paths of Reincarnation to many other matters.
The loss of six cities was a huge blow to Milan, but it was not something that couldn’t be discussed.
Given her relationship with Ye Yinzhu, it was not necessarily without room for negotiation.
For instance, the cities like Qin City in their current state held no significance for them; they didn’t even have enough manpower to station in six cities.
If they could use something else as a substitute, that would be best.
As the challenger and final victor of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, according to the rules, Ye Yinzhu had the right to choose his spoils of war.
Moreover, since Qin City had not been annihilated because of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Faran’s mission was considered plete; therefore, could they cooperate with Qin City?
The power that Ye Yinzhu now held in his hands had already taken shape and was not to be underestimated.
If he was willing to cooperate with Milan, then there would be no need to fear any attacks from the Beastmen on the northern front.
“Your Royal Highness The Princess,” Brother Martin arrived behind Nina and spoke respectfully.
When Nina showed her true identity, even they didn’t know that this person in white would turn out to be Princess Nina.
She came with the Milan Red Cross Shield Emblem and the decree of Emperor Silvio Berlusconi of the Milan Empire in her hand.
The order stated that Martin must follow all of Nina’s mands.
In the decree, Silvio informed Martin that the person he was sending was a warrior equivalent to Faran.
Just this alone made the Roland family brothers respect Nina immensely.
Though Nina had lost, the power she displayed on the battlefield could not be ignored by anyone.
That milky white Douqi was clearly above Zi rank, just as Ye Yinzhu had thought—Milan Empire’s number one expert should indeed be Princess Nina!
“A loss is a loss.
The contract of the Six Paths of Reincarnation cannot be broken.
I am not a god,” said Nina, fully understanding Martin’s meaning.
If they took advantage of Qin City’s excitement to launch a surprise attack now, they could certainly inflict huge losses on them.
However, even she dared not violate the covenant of the gods.
There was still a huge gap between the Sub-God rank and a real god, and even Nina herself didn’t know what a real god was.
“So now what…” Martin’s gaze was somewhat dim, his voice filled with a few more notes of despair.
As a famous marshal of the Milan Empire, leading an army of three hundred thousand to Qin City only to end up with a result where they had to cede six cities and the enemy was unscathed, was too much for him to accept.
At a critical moment, Nina was even more decisive than men, saying in a deep voice, “Marshal Martin, I order you and Grand Sorcerer Matlachi to immediately lead the Northern Legion back to Holy Light City, ready to meet any provocations from the Beastmen.
I require you to return there as soon as possible.
As for everything here, I will take full responsibility and report directly to His Majesty.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness,” Martin knew that this was the best approach for the time being.
Although their morale was low, once the news of the battle’s end here spread throughout the Continent, the attacks on Milan would truly mence.
This war that was about to sweep over the entire Continent had already been primed to explode.
Martin and his brother returned to the military camp to organize the troops for withdrawl, while Nina still stood there, only now, there was another person in front of her.
“Nina, how long has it been since we last saw each other?” Qin Shang suppressed his excited emotions, looking at Nina, unable to conceal the pain in his eyes.
Nina also looked deeply at him, “Twenty-eight years, four months, fourteen days, eleven hours.”
Qin Shang trembled all over.
Nina had almost instinctively pinpointed the exact number of hours since their separation—what did that signify?
“Nina…” Qin Shang found that he could no longer say anything, just gazing at Nina’s somewhat lonely figure as his eyes began to blur and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Qin Shang, you old scoundrel.
I’ve waited for you for twenty-eight whole years, and yet you still didn’t e for me.
Do you know how I’ve survived the loneliness of these twenty-eight years?” A milky white glow flickered around Nina, radiating from her body, causing the ground beneath her feet to crack inch by inch.
But even amidst such intense emotions, the cracks in the ground spread behind her and did not pose any threat to Qin Shang.
“I’m a bastard.
But what about you, you fool?
It’s been twenty-eight years, why can’t you forget me?
You could have found someone who loves you more than I ever did,” Qin Shang said with a somewhat hazy look at Nina, his gaze incredibly plex.
Nina took a deep breath, and her previously agitated eyes turned cold again, “Just for your pride?
Or maybe your vanity.
I’ve waited for you for twenty-eight years.
Qin Shang, remember this, you owe me twenty-eight years, four months, fourteen days, and eleven hours.
And this time will only keep on increasing.
I want to see when you’ll finally be able to repay what you owe me.”
Qin Shang gave a wry smile, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay you back in this lifetime.
I’m already old, a decrepit old man near the end of his days, unable to go against the laws of nature.
Maybe, I have twenty more years to live?
Thirty at most?
But you’re different, you’ve already reached the Sub-God rank, you can live four hundred years longer than me.
We were never even of the same class.
If you wish, you can revert to your twenty-year-old self at any time.
But I can’t.
How could I possibly stay with you?
Do you really want me to spend my last twenty years of frailty pensating you?
No, I can’t do that.
I’d rather leave you with the perfect image of me when I was young.
Nina, we’ve been through too much.
Now, I just hope to train my only disciple to bee stronger, to help the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans truly stand tall in Ryuzakinus again.
I’m old now, and no longer entitled to talk about affection.”
Nina’s emotions suddenly surged again, “Not entitled to talk about affection?
That’s your choice.
Don’t think I don’t know, eighteen years ago, you entered Faran and cultivated up to Zi rank there.
With your talent, if you had stayed there, you’d be close to White rank after these eighteen years, if not already there.
With my help, would it have really been so difficult for you to step into the Sub-God territory?
You gave up on all of that yourself.”
“Yes, I gave up.
Because I couldn’t do it.
From our Eastern Dragon’s perspective, it was Faran who led those despicable Westerners to strip away everything that originally belonged to us Dong Long people, who took our vast lands, and enslaved the Descendants of the Eastern Dragon.
How could I possibly continue to stay in Faran?
Even though I longed to reach the same realm as you, I would never live there in humble subservience.
In my veins flows the blood of the Eastern Dragon.
Our levels of strength create a divide between us, but the greatest barrier is in our ideologies.
You, being a person of Faran, how could you understand the feelings of the Descendants of the Eastern Dragon?
Without our ancestors, would the Continent be what it is today?
Yet, how did Faran and the West Dragon deal with us in the past?
Now, we can’t even conduct our ancestral worship.”
Qin Shang’s emotions were also stirred as he spoke.
At this moment, it was as if they had returned to the night twenty-eight years ago when they had parted ways, hadn’t they argued like this back then as well?
The discordant separation that had lasted for an entire twenty-eight years was still poignant!
“I’m sorry, Nina, I didn’t mean to argue with you,” Qin Shang’s emotion slowly settled down, gazing at the gray hairs at Nina’s temples, his heart softened.
In his heart, no matter how steadfast his principles, his deep love for Nina had never changed.
Nina shook her head sorrowfully, “Don’t apologize.
I never imagined that, after twenty-eight years, you haven’t changed at all.
It’s me who is cheap.
I hate myself for falling in love with you.
Did you know?
Although twenty-eight years have passed, the shadow you’ve cast in my heart has only grown deeper.
Time simply cannot dilute the cruel brand you’ve engraved in my heart.”
Qin Shang truly wanted to rush over to her, to hold Nina in his arms, but he knew he couldn’t, doing so would only harm her.
Besides, their forces were so distinctly opposed, they were in an absolute state of hostility just moments ago!
“You should go.
I know you won’t change; it’s your nature.
I will wait here for Yin Zhu to awake.
Don’t worry, I won’t do anything against Yin Zhu.
Though you may not want me as a wife anymore, Yin Zhu still needs me as a grandmother,” Nina said to Qin Shang with a detached tone, her voice radiating a message of rejection and distance.
She even wished she had never seen Qin Shang again.
Seeing him now only brought her more heartache.
Qin Shang sighed deeply, knowing that staying any longer would only increase his own pain.
He turned around and walked haltingly toward the crowd that had gathered around Ye Yinzhu.
