Chapter 120.2
At this moment, Chai Yuxin was truly in high spirits.
The 3,000 female soldiers she had trained herself had achieved such a splendid victory in their first battle, which indeed added luster to her reputation.
After returning, I must boast about this triumph in front of His Majesty! Haha!
At this moment, Chai Yuxins thoughts had already flown back to the Great Xia Imperial Palace.
The thought of the Emperor looking at her with those adoring eyes upon her triumphant return made her feel exhilarated!
Just then, a soldier reported, General, according to the scouts information from the front, Great Yan has once again assembled an army of 600,000 to come at us! It is said that they have also mobilized several Innate experts, so please be extremely cautious, General!
Chai Yuxin immediately snapped back to reality: It seems that Great Yans intentions are not good this time!
The reason for their previous overwhelming victory was entirely due to the element of surprise; their enemies had not anticipated that the female soldiers of Great Xia would be trained in battle formations, which led to their being caught off guard and suffering a crushing defeat.
Now that they have regrouped and come back prepared, its likely not going to be as easy to defeat them.
Even if the battle continued, the casualties would be much greater, and she feared that the female soldiers she had painstakingly trained would suffer heavy losses.
Chai Yuxin pondered for a moment, then ordered, Now, immediately retreat!
Yes, General!
Thus, the troops of Great Xia retreated.
They swiftly withdrew through the crevice that cut across the mountain range back to the soil of the Great Xia Kingdom.
As the flowers bloomed on both ends, General Sun, who was leading his army in haste, learned of this and gritted his teeth, saying, Theyve retreated quite quickly this time!
The monk may run away, but the temple cant!
An Innate master laughed. We can completely lead our army through that crevice and attack, and then the whole of Great Xia will become a part of our Great Yan!
Youre not wrong! Even if were down on our luck, we can rob them just like they do, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Anyway, they definitely wont be able to escape, haha!
They marched on triumphantly and finally arrived at the Hengduan Mountain Range, standing before the fissure.
Full of vigor, General Sun commanded: All troops, follow me and charge!
The 600,000-strong army moved mightily through the Transverse mountain range.
At this moment, Lin Beifan watched as the troops of Great Xia had completed their retreat.
With a sly chuckle, he reached out towards the Empire Sandbox.
In an instant, the mountain range was shaken by a tremendous quake, with soil and rocks tumbling down.
The earth dragon is turning over; everyone, run for your lives!
Everyone, retreat quickly, get out of the mountain range!
Hurry up!
They ran back in a panic.
About the time it took to burn a stick of incense later, they finally escaped the mountain range, and the earthquake also ceased.
They turned around for a look, and the scene before them left them utterly dumbfounded.
How did it close again?
Before their eyes, the crevice in the mountain range had completely sealed shut, and with the accumulation of rolling rocks and soil, it was simply impassable.
what do we do now?
They all looked at each other, speechless.
This news quickly made its way back to the Great Yan imperial court.
Upon hearing this, the Great Yan Emperor was so angry that his liver ached.
Every time he led his troops to battle, the path would just happen to be blocked.
Last time, it was the same.
It seems he can only be on the receiving end, unable to fight back?
Ah, Heaven, are you deliberately opposing me?
The fissure cutting through the mountain range had been sealed, the Great Yan army couldnt break through, and Chai Yuxin led her troops back home, laden with victory.
In the court, Chai Yuxin reported with great excitement, Your Majesty, I was commanded to attack Great Yan, and now I have returned successfully without dishonor. In this battle, we have acquired treasures worth 4.5 million taels of gold, silver, and jins of grain! Our Great Xia female soldiers have defeated 600,000 of Great Yans troops in battle, elevating our nations prestige and striking awe in all directions!
Excellent!
Lin Beifan said with great pleasure, I have also heard of this battle. Merely 3,000 of our troops defeated an enemy 600,000 strong, turning the impossible into possible. Truly, they are divine warriors! Each female soldier is a heroine, their valor equal to any man! Each female soldier shall be rewarded with 20 taels of silver! Furthermore, they shall be named the Phoenix Army, and shall receive the best treatment!
Thank you, Your Majesty! the female soldiers representatives said with great joy.
Every other soldier will also receive a reward, two taels of silver each!
Lin Beifan distributed rewards according to merit, rewarding everyone who had distinguished themselves in the campaign, except for Chai Yuxin.
Chai Yuxin felt somewhat dissatisfied, so when the court session ended, she specifically sought out Lin Beifan.
Your Majesty, have you perhaps forgotten something? Chai Yuxin asked, her large eyes eagerly fixed on Lin Beifan.
Forgotten something? No, I dont think so, Lin Beifan replied innocently.
How come theres nothing? You forgot my reward! Just now on the court, you bestowed rewards upon the Great Xia female soldiers, you rewarded the other troops, and you even rewarded every General, but you forgot me alone! Chai Yuxin said somewhat angrily.
Actually, I have never forgotten! I have prepared a mysterious grand gift for you! Lin Beifan declared loudly.
Chai Yuxins delicate body trembled, her heart filled with anticipation.
What kind of gift?
I have been preparing this gift for 20 years. Its unique in the world, and I have been waiting for the right opportunity to give it to you! Lin Beifan added.
Chai Yuxins body trembled again, a gift prepared for 20 years!
How many 20 years does one have in life?
Considering His Majestys age from birth to now, he is just 20 years old at most!
That is to say, Your Majesty has been preparing this gift for her since he was very young!
Moreover, this gift is unique in the world!
It must be a gift filled with sincerity!
Chai Yuxin was somewhat moved: Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful. What kind of gift is it?
Lin Beifan pointed to himself: This gift is far yet near, right before your eyes!
You? Chai Yuxin was shocked.
Indeed, it is me!
Lin Beifan leaned in close, whispering into Chai Yuxins ear: I plan to offer my body to you! For this, I have prepared for 20 years, its ripe now, ready to be plucked!
Chai Yuxin:
My consort who has tried it has praised it, what are you still hesitating for?
Chai Yuxin:
Chai Yuxin, infuriated and exasperated: You, Lin Beifan, what nonsense are you spouting? Its true that a dog cant spit out ivory, Ill strangle you!
(TLN: Its true that a dog cant spit out ivory; its impossible for someone like him to produce something good or valuable from his speech or actions.)
Lin Beifan, in agonizing pain: Yuxin, dont you want my body?
Chai Yuxin, both embarrassed and angry: Crave your head, Im not playing with you anymore!
With that, she ran away bashfully!
Lin Beifan called out from behind, Yuxin, whenever you want, you can come to find me! I will always be honest with you!
Chai Yuxin nearly stumbled and fell.
Annoyed, she ran back and pinched Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan cried out, Ow, ow, ow
