Staring at the battle that was taking place several meters in front of him, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, being thankful that he had silently fled to the backside of the army.

Even though the Wei army continued marching on toward the city, as one of the officers gained control, wanting to obtain military merit, after the leadership of the army was ravaged it's strength was greatly lowed.

Whilst one thousand troops were guarding the city wall, making sure that the Wei army could not progress, a leisurely figure swept through it

With every swing of Dai Jie's spear, multiple Wei army soldiers would die, at the same time, when it looked as though the troops defending the city were about to get overwhelmed, Dai Jie would suddenly jump into action, disrupting the Wei army formation and allowing the defensive troops to regroup.

Because of this, although, in truth, Dai Jie did not kill a large amount of the Wei army, he caused still gave the defending troops a huge advantage, allowing them to survive.

At the same time, no matter what the Wei troops tried to do, they could not damage Dai Jie, who after seven years, managed to reach the second layer of the Body Refinement realm, the Mustle Refinement stage.

As such, eventually, after over five hours of fighting, the Wei army temporarily retreated from the city, giving the defending troops some respite.

...

Staring at the officer who had taken command of the Wei from a distance, Shen Yan shook his head, mumbling something under his breath.

"Fear not opponents as strong as God, but fear teammates as weak as pigs," mumbled Shen Yan, even though Shen Yan did not receive an education, but after fighting on the battlefield for a long time, he had still picked up some tricks, as such, he immediately knew how stupid the decision of this commander really was.

'It looks like he was intimidated by him, but doesn't he have any advisors?' thought Shen Yan, staring at the figure which had just jumped over the city wall, shaking his head.

Although this fighter was extremely monstrous, and could crush any normal soldier into meat paste, he was after all one single man, and could not change the tide of battle.

As long as the army continued to pound the defending troops hour after hour, even with his help they will still be annihilated, after all, the defending troops were merely normal humans who felt exhaustion, unlike that monster.

'I need to get out of her, otherwise I might lose my life,' thought Shen Yan, sinking into his thoughts, after all Shen Yan did not survive over a dozen battles by being some brave hero.

...

Unaware of what the little boy she had met some years ago was doing at the moment, nor of what ramifications he would have on the future, at this moment, Xu Yue was lying on a bed alongside Hulli Jing, watching Shi Yao and Shi Xia sing and dance.

"I stay with you some more, I might really become lazy," mumbled Xu Yue as she touched Hulli Jing's belly, feeling the life force being emitted by it.

Hearing that, Hulli Jing couldn't help but chuckle.

"I don't really think I can change you," mumbled Hulli Jing as she raised her hand and touched Xu Yue's cheek.

"Why do you think so?" asked Xu Yue, enjoying Hulli Jing's touch.

"I already know you very well, even If we stay like this for a billion years, you will be completely unchanged, that's just my opinion though," mumbled Hulli Jing, as she continued touching Xu Yue's cheek.

"I have already changed, have I not?" asked Xu Yue as she looked at Hulli Jing smiling.

"For example, I used to enjoy painting quite a lot, even comprehending the Painting Dao, but after some time, I became quite bored of it, as such, I nearly abandoned painting altogether," said Xu Yue causing Hulli Jing to chuckle.

"Yea, that's true, I really haven't seen anyone comprehend a powerful Dao and just abandon it because they felt like it, you really are unique in this regard," mumbled Hulli Jing as she suddenly felt another pair of hands embrace her from behind.

"After all, I hadn't begun painting to gain power, back then, mother first forced me to paint, but after some time, I began painting on my own accord, recording the most beautiful things in the world," mumbled Xu Yue as she raised her eyes from Hulli Jing for a moment and looked at Ye Qiao, who just got on the bed.

"After a while, I found that doing that became somewhat boring, as such, I stopped doing it, I don't even have the painting brush I had back then, it's now in Xu Ming's possession," mumbled Xu Yue as she lowed her head back onto the pillow behind her.

Seeing this, Hulli Jing changed her position, no longer sitting on Xu Yue's side, but rather moving into her embrace, being followed by Ye Qiao, who also entered Xu Yue's embrace.

Feeling this, Hulli JIng couldn't help but shake her head.

"You really are the second most shameless person that I have ever met," mumbled Hulli Jing as she looked at Ye Qiao, causing Xu Yue to open her eyes as a slight frown appeared on her face..

"At least I'm not the most shameless," said Ye Qiao, causing Xu Yue's frown to deepen.

"Am I really that shameless?" asked Xu Yue, staring at Hulli Jing and Ye Qiao, as her hands suddenly began moving, causing Hulli Jing and Ye Qiao to suddenly freeze.

"You really are the most shameless and domineering being I have ever met, you shouldn't try to lie, both of us know you very well, you might seem reasonable at first glance, but as soon as something doesn't go your way, your true colors show themselves," said Hulli Jing, causing Xu Yue to shake her head.

Just as Hulli Jing was about to ask Ye Qiao to confirm, she suddenly moved her head to the left, staring at the other woman with a stupified expression on her face.

"I really shouldn't have expected anything better of you," mumbled Hulli Jing, watching Ye Qiao obediently lick Xu Yue's left breast.
