Chapter 121 \\"They Are Walking Too Slowly. I Am Here To Give Them A Ride.\\"
As soon as this title was spoken, Jiang Luoshen felt a wave of dizziness and countless illusions appeared in her mind.
An endless tide of memories poured out like a flood, flooding her mind and filling every inch of her consciousness.
She saw herself as a child, leaning against her father and mother, smiling brightly.
She saw herself sitting in a carriage, listening to the bustling noise outside.
She saw herself standing in front of a large army, valiantly wielding a sword to repel the enemy.
She saw countless people looking up to her with awe and admiration.
She even saw her father unjustly dying in prison, and she herself narrowly escaping death from poisoned wine...
Memories unfolded like a scroll before her eyes, only to quickly disappear.
Jiang Luoshen's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
These memories clearly belonged to her, but at this moment, she felt particularly unfamiliar.
Deep in her mind, there seemed to be a voice constantly telling her to forget her past identity, forget everything she had experienced, and start a new life...
Jiang Luoshen stood still, her heart in turmoil.
Because she suddenly felt a strange power surging within her, a power that she couldn't restrain or control.
And she also felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen, as if a peculiar pattern was slowly being drawn.
"What... is happening?"
Jiang Luoshen furrowed her brows, wanting to check, but she was still on the city wall and couldn't do so.
She tried to suppress the distractions in her mind and force herself to calm down.
Finally, the flickering images in her mind came to a complete stop.
A golden dragon robe enveloped a noble and upright figure, standing at the pinnacle of the sky, overlooking all living beings.
In that moment, Jiang Luoshen felt small and insignificant, like an ant, humble and weak.
He was the Ninth Layer Heaven, and she was just an ant.
Destined to crawl at his feet, to submit and worship...
Jiang Luoshen looked at Qin Mu, her eyes filled with struggle and confusion.
The title she had just called out was not sincere, but rather a means to stabilize the other party and save the Northern soldiers.
But now, Jiang Luoshen was caught in a struggle and confusion.
She suddenly realized that Qin Mu had brought her a sense of closeness, as if they had a very intimate relationship.
"What is going on?" Jiang Luoshen whispered, her eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper.
She felt like she had lost something very important.
This feeling made Jiang Luoshen extremely restless, even fearful that she would never be able to find it again.
"No, I am still me... No one can change me..."
Jiang Luoshen shook her head, pushing aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
When she looked at Qin Mu again, her gaze became resolute and cold.
She would not surrender.
Jiang Luoshen blinked her eyes.
In those beautiful eyes, there was confusion, infatuation, and more importantly, a strong sense of hatred.
Hatred towards Qin Mu.
But she concealed it all.
Jiang Luoshen lowered her head slightly, covering up her complex emotions, and softly said, "Master..."
After the second title was spoken, there were no strange changes like before.
Jiang Luoshen felt relieved in her heart and relaxed her whole body.
She felt as if she had just passed through the gates of hell, exhausted. Sweat dripped from her forehead, and her delicate shoulders trembled slightly, showing the intense internal struggle.
Qin Mu had been watching Jiang Luoshen's changing expressions with great interest, not speaking or interrupting her thoughts.
Truly deserving of being recognized by the system as the Empress of Luck, her willpower was truly extraordinary.
In just a moment, she had recovered from the influence of the Demon Imprint, regained control of herself, and remained clear-headed.
If it were an ordinary person, even if they knew the so-called "secret," they would have probably already collapsed and become a puppet of the Demon Imprint.
Jie Qianxue was a vivid example of that.
If it weren't for Jiang Luoshen's immense blow, the Demon Imprint wouldn't have been so easy to display.
"It seems like I need to add some fuel to the fire."
Qin Mu murmured to himself, showing a pensive expression.
He let go of Jiang Luoshen and casually threw her aside.
Jiang Luoshen fell to the ground, her beautiful face pale as paper, and five distinct purple handprints appeared on her snow-white neck.
She struggled to lift her head and looked at Qin Mu with a resentful gaze.
This foolish ruler is completely ignorant of cherishing beauty and valuing jade!
But Jiang Luoshen couldn't care about the pain at this moment. She quickly got up and walked to the city wall, looking at the remaining less than twenty thousand soldiers of the Northern Border, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, now reduced to less than twenty thousand...
Jiang Luoshen's heart was bleeding.
These were all the elite soldiers left by her father, the Northern Border King.
Now, tens of thousands of them died in an instant.
How could she not feel grief and anger?
Jiang Luoshen turned her head and looked at Qin Mu, trembling as she said, "M-Master, I have already submitted. Can you spare the lives of these Northern Border soldiers?"
"Of course..." Qin Mu's mouth curved into a slight smile as he calmly replied.
Upon hearing his answer, Jiang Luoshen's eyes immediately became teary, filled with immense joy.
Finally, she managed to save the lives of these Northern Border soldiers. Although the Northern Border suffered heavy losses this time, there was still hope remaining.
"All of you, come here."
Jiang Luoshen shouted loudly towards the soldiers below, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Upon hearing Jiang Luoshen's words, the remaining less than twenty thousand soldiers were momentarily stunned, but then their eyes sparkled with brilliance, and they rushed towards her like a swarm of bees.
"We pay our respects to Your Highness!"
The twenty thousand Northern Border soldiers all kneeled down, despite being a defeated and depleted army, their presence still shook the world with their majestic aura.
Jiang Luoshen's heart warmed, but she maintained a stern demeanor.
"Rise."
She waved her hand and continued, "You all must leave immediately and return to the Northern Border. Never set foot outside the Northern Border again!"
"This..." The Northern Border soldiers exchanged glances, hesitating.
"What? Do you want to defy orders?" Jiang Luoshen's eyebrows raised, her gaze sharp.
"We dare not..." The Northern Border soldiers quickly shook their heads.
Then, with red eyes, they all stood up and quickly retreated.
However, during their retreat, they frequently looked back, clearly showing great reluctance.
In this battle, although they were defeated, they never regretted it!
They only regretted their own incompetence, their failure to avenge the Northern Guardian King, and their inability to protect their princess!
Jiang Luoshen stood on the city wall, gazing at the gradually disappearing figures of the Northern Border soldiers. Her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
"They are leaving too slowly. I might as well send them off."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Luoshen trembled all over and quickly turned her head, only to see Qin Mu walking towards her with a calm stride.
"You..." Jiang Luoshen's pupils contracted, and a terrifying guess flashed through her mind.
"What... What do you want to do?"
Her delicate body went weak, and she fell to the ground, her pretty face filled with fear.
In the next moment,
Qin Mu extended his right hand, and a giant sword surrounded by golden light suddenly flew out from the void, hovering in his palm.
Boom...
In an instant, a dark cloud gathered, darkening the sky, with lightning flickering within.
Crack!
A ferocious thunder serpent snaked through the dark clouds, exuding a destructive aura.
Qin Mu's gaze remained calm as he raised his left hand and gently slashed downwards.
In an instant, an immense and boundless terrifying pressure descended.
And that golden blade aura, accompanied by the overwhelming thunder, struck the retreating Northern Border army.
Sizzle!
"No!!"
Jiang Luoshen let out a cry of despair, trembling all over, her beautiful eyes filled with hopelessness and fear.
