Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 623: Chapter 192: General Temple of Hanzhou, Three Thousand Ghost Riders March North, Sweeping All Before Them, Emperor Enters Xie Mansion

Xie Mansion, in front of the Ancient Copper Mirror.

Xie Yu hugged Li Yuan from behind, her delicate body pressed against her husband’s back. She peeked over his shoulder, gazing at the intimate scene in the mirror between her and her husband.

Her lively eyes gently moved, seeing the blade resting on his knee, and after a moment of silence, she withdrew her gaze, lifting her eyes again to look at the Copper Mirror with a smile. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"There’s a General Festival in early May, you missed it before, this time... together?" Xie Yu asked.

Li Yuan asked in surprise, "General Festival?"

"Yes!" Xie Yu nodded, a hint of a smile appearing on her charming face, "You’ll love it because the General Temple we worship at is in a Ghost Realm.

The temple is built in the mountain, and in front of the mountain, it has long turned into a bustling market. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Days before the festival, it becomes extremely lively, with all sorts of lanterns being lit, delicious foods, fun games, new experiences, everything is there.

Many young boys and girls take the time to go to the market to enjoy the lanterns, encounter each other, get acquainted, and forge connections."

Li Yuan thought about that atmosphere.

Lively, with the scent of blood and flesh scattered across, walking the crowded streets.

This scent made him inexplicably disgusted.

Unless he gave up his current cultivation, erasing his efforts, slowly returning to the original starting point.

However, he had already tasted the benefits of "Refining the Soul with Skill" and "Stimulating the Divine Soul with That Glimmer of Yin Qi," naturally unwilling to give up, as this contains more secrets concerning power and the world.

"Forget it." Xie Yu’s gaze dimmed.

Li Yuan looked at her, said: "No, let’s go."

"You don’t like it." Xie Yu said.

"But since you want to go, I’m willing to accompany you."

Li Yuan was still very considerate to his wife, even if he was a bit peculiar now, the basic affection was still there.

Even though he was somewhat disgusted by blood and flesh, he still understood the person in front of him is his wife.

Suddenly, he thought of Yan Yu.

Would Yan Yu constantly hold similar feelings to what he feels right now?

Yet she never spoke of it.

...

...

Several days later.

Morning.

The convoy set off from Xie Mansion, heading west, after a night arrived at a small county at the edge of Mingyue Prefecture.

The small county was already very lively, iron trees blossoming silver flowers, everywhere were lanterns, actors dressed in General’s armor leading a long procession, singing and dancing on the streets.

Red lanterns hung in strands, children gleefully running around.

The arrival of the Xie Family convoy made people instinctively move apart, respectfully retreating to both sides.

Li Yuan sat in the darkness of the carriage; this darkness made him comfortable.

The beauty leaning against him was warm and fragrant like jade; he no longer regarded her as blood and flesh but reached out to pull her into his embrace.

If Yan Yu could do it, why couldn’t he?

And just then, the Xie Family convoy suddenly stopped, ahead came the faint sound of the Xie Family Steward angrily reprimanding someone, not knowing who they were arguing with.

Xie Yu lifted her head from Li Yuan’s embrace, opened the curtain.

A maid hurriedly rode over.

Xie Yu asked: "What happened?"

The maid quickly replied: "Madam, I’ll go take a look."

After a while, the maid returned, saying: "Madam, up ahead... is General Wang."

"Which General Wang?"

"General Wang Gong..." the maid said.

Xie Yu remembered.

The Wang Family was a subordinate family of the Xie Family, but the Wang Family wasn’t close to her father, rather they were closer to her uncles.

Wang Gong, who had already reached the status of Elder within the Wang Family, possessed the Fifth Grade strength, yet due to being preoccupied with cultivation and military matters, he hadn’t married.

Last year, after Xie Jian’an announced a martial arts competition for marriage, he participated in the ring battles, aiming to marry her.

But as a result, her husband’s sudden emergence left him unsuccessful.

The maid hesitantly said: "General Wang says he wants to talk to Madam..."

Since becoming a wife, Xie Yu had shed much of her previous innocence, and now, with a little thought, realized many "schemes and petty maneuvers" intertwined with numerous "power struggles."

However, speaking of which, within the vast power of the Hanzhou Marshal, internal disputes were countless.

The maid seemed timid, then said: "General Wang brought a thousand Iron Cavalry with him, these cavalry didn’t wear armor, all seemingly here to attend the Lantern Festival..."

Xie Yu said: "Do they dare capture me?"

Having said that, she got up and exited the carriage.

Li Yuan watched her leave and suddenly stood to accompany her.

The two rode forward.

More than a thousand blockading the road were drunkenly watching the carriage, the sturdy man leading pointed drunkenly at Li Yuan and said: "Is it you, lad, who stole my wife?"

Li Yuan glanced at the sweltering masses of flesh in front, then focused his sight on Wang Gong, glancing at his "1450~2740," and directly asked: "Bet?"

Wang Gong paused, asked: "Bet what?"

Li Yuan pointed at him and said: "Witnessed by everyone, you beat me, and I become your servant; I beat you, and you become my servant."

Wang Gong: ...

He continued to feign drunkenness, laughing, saying: "This kid, speaking nonsense, hahaha... you stole my wife..."

Li Yuan said indifferently: "Useless."

Wang Gong still wanted to laugh.

He brought a thousand troops here just to provoke, to test this little son-in-law of the Xie Family, and make him act irrationally so that his superiors could leverage the situation.

But he absolutely didn’t expect the opponent to wager like this.

Li Yuan glanced at the surrounding cavalry, then fixed his gaze on Wang Gong, spoke again: "Useless."

His meaning was clear: In front of your subordinates, you’re still so cowardly, what else could be a waste?

Wang Gong understood his meaning, so his eyes shifted and suddenly said: "I’m a General, these one thousand cavalry are part of my force. To fight, I’ll fight with these one thousand cavalry, do you dare?"
