The Alchemist God Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Impossible to control oneself

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.  The Heaven Charging Army and the Dragon Courage Camp swept out, bringing back victory reports one after another.  There were forty seven Swordsman Hall branches that were destroyed, with over half of them directly surrendering. There were over three thousand rangers with decent moral and strength that joined the Dragon Courage Camp.

Lin Mu Yu's matters were very simple during these ten days.  He continued refining the white diamond crystals and forged over twenty thousand white diamond arrowheads for the Dragon Courage Camp.  It was enough to use for a while and Luo Yu was prude commander. Even if the arrow broke, he could take the arrowhead to make a new arrow.

When it was noon, Wei Chou came back with a group of Swordsman Hall captives and loot.  His face was filled with joy as he rushed into the main command tent, "Sir, we've seized close to fifty thousand gold coins, hei……Those Swordsman Hall branches are truly flowing with oil!"

Lin Mu Yu was currently putting an arrowhead on a shaft.  He twisted over with a smile and said, "Swordsman Hall are the same as wandering mercenaries, they steal from the citizens, so naturally they are filled with oil."

Wei Chou cupped his hands and said, "Sir, from now on, Swordsman Hall has been eliminated from the Cangnan Province by us.  They will no longer steal from the citizens, creating flames of war all around."

"You really think this?"

Lin Mu Yu smiled and stood up as he said, "There is no doubt Swordsman Hall is strong, there are no less than two thousand soldiers in each of the county cities.  It should have been the local government that took care of these thieves, so even if we leave, there will still be new thieves. This is no use at all."

"That…..Then our time suppressing them was useless?"

"Not necessarily."

Lin Mu Yu didn't continue as he changed the topic, "The three thousand imperial guards led by Zhang Wei will arrive this afternoon.  They will be responsible for guarding and supervising the transport of gold ores from Fire Axe Mountain. Send people to ensure that the imperial guards will be safe and then we'll leave."

"Yes!"

Wei Chou gave a military salute before suddenly saying with a smile, "I've heard that…..princess Xi has come to Silver Fir City with sir Zhang Wei……"

"Oh?"

"Is sir not going to welcome them?"

"Then…..let's go."  Lin Mu Yu's heart felt warm.  It seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen Tang Xiao Xi.

In the afternoon, the sun was brightly shining and there were the sounds of hoofbeats on the road.  Three thousand imperial guards led by Zhang Wei headed to Silver Fir City and at the front of the formation was Tang Xiao Xi with a red fiery robe that was golden trimmed, looking very beautiful.  After she saw Lin Mu Yu in the distance, she quickly rode over.

"Shua!"

Tang Xiao Xi suddenly jumped off her horse and the little Fire Fox Martial Spirit on her shoulder called out as a Fire Fox Seal appeared under her feet.  She was like a beautiful fairy that didn't belong to this world flying out as she landed in Lin Mu Yu's embrace.

Lin Mu Yu gave a laugh as he unconsciously opened his arms to catch Tang Xiao Xi.  After half a month, even he didn't know how much he missed this warm and lively princess.  In the end, Tang Xiao Xi's momentum was too strong and she fell off the horse with Lin Mu Yu.  With Lin Mu Yu's white cloak as a tarp, they landed in the grass over ten meters away.

"Xiao Xi, you entered the Heaven Realm?"  Lin Mu Yu looked at her in his embrace with a smile and asked this.

Tang Xiao Xi nodded that red as a peach blossom face, "Un, with elder Qu and great deacon Lei Hong's help, I have already formed the Fire Fox Seal and I have improved quite a bit!"

"That's great!"

Lin Mu Yu twisted and skillfully stood up carrying the beautiful princess, gently holding Tang Xiao Xi's slender waist.  He ignored all courtesies as he said, "Why did you come to Silver Fir City with sir Zhang Wei?"

"Isn't it because I'm thinking of you!"  Tang Xiao Xi stuck out her tongue, not hiding her thoughts about Lin Mu Yu at all.

To the side, Wei Chou hugged his sword as he said with a smile, "Commander, when are you going to marry princess Xi?"

Zhang Wei also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to sir Lin Mu Yu on becoming Qi Hai Province's son-in-law!"

Lin Mu Yu's face turned red in embarrassment and his heart was beating fast.  He calmed his mind before saying with a smile, "You…..You better not hit a person while he's down.  Xiao Xi is still young….."

"Still young?"

Zhang Wei said with a grin, "My mother had me when she was sixteen.  Princess Xi is already twenty, is she still young?"

He tilted his head and looked at Tang Xiao Xi's peaks and ridges.  He saw the curves of a young girl's body, as well as the princess' tall peaks that were holding up her clothes.  Zhang Wei quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Also not small……"

Tang Xiao Xi's face turned red and she opened up her red palm, slowly condensing a flame seal.  It was the Heaven Charging Seal of the Fire Fox Seal's fourth level. She said with a smile filled with killing intent, "Zhang Wei, do you want to do?"

Zhang Wei was slow at cultivating, not reaching the Heaven Realm yet, so how could he be a match for Tang Xiao Xi.  His body couldn't help trembling as he said, "Princess Xi, spare me. This subordinate did not mean any offense with that nonsense….."

Lin Mu Yu took Tang Xiao Xi's hand which caused the Fire Fox Seal to be released.  He said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, don't stoop to this fellow's level. Let's go, come into the camp with me.  We'll be breaking camp and heading back to Orchid Goose City in a day or two."

"Un, alright!"  She said with a sweet smile.

Zhang Wei cupped his hand, "Then…..This subordinate will bring people to receive the gold ores from Fire Axe Mountain.  Sir Lin Mu Yu, the safety of princess Xi will be handed to you. I, Old Zhang have delivered a beauty to you, you can't neglect her!"

Lin Mu Yu said with a grin, "If you keep speaking nonsense, I'll let military law take care of you."

"Ah ha, Old Zhang will be leaving, goodbye everyone!"

Zhang Wei pulled on his reins and went forward with the imperial guards, with a group of miners with horse carriages following them.  It was no wonder they took ten days to come here. It had been hard for Tang Xiao Xi, she had to travel slowly with a bunch of old men for ten days.

He led Tang Xiao Xi by the hand to their camp.  Lin Mu Yu asked with a smile, "This is strange, how could Xiao Xi have the temper to travel slowly with Zhang Wei's group for ten days?  With your personality, you would have whipped your horse and dashed to Silver Fir City in three days."

Tang Xiao Xi pursed her lips and said in an aggrieved voice, "You're still talking about this……Elder Qu and Xiao Yin didn't allow me to come, but it took quite a bit to beg them to let me come here with Zhang Wei's three thousand cavalry.  It's been hard traveling and I finally came to this place, which is your territory. Mu Mu, you have to properly entertain me!"

"That is natural……"

Lin Mu Yu waved his hand at Luo Yu to come over and took out a gold coin.  He said with a smile, "Luo Yu, send people into the city to buy some good food and wine.  I have to properly entertain princess Xi tonight!"

"Yes, sir!"

Luo Yu took the money and looked up at Tang Xiao Xi, but his eyes filled with a daze.  He was only a ranger, how had he ever seen this kind of beauty. Not to mention that Tang Xiao Xi was a noble family's young miss, it instantly caused him to be stunned.

Tang Xiao Xi laughed, "Luo Yu, what are you looking at?  You're looking at your leader's…..Eh…..Hmm….."

Her pretty little face turned red again, not knowing how to describe her relationship with Lin Mu Yu, causing her to awkwardly stand there.  She wanted to show the grace of a princess, but she became shy again. She didn't know how to behave.

Lin Mu Yu saw her beautiful appearance and was filled with love.  He couldn't help giving a bitter smile as he said, "Luo Yu, go already.  If you want to look, look when we're going back. Xiao Xi will be going back to Orchid Goose City with us."

Luo Yu calmed himself and said with cupped hands, "Yes, sir!  But sir can be assured. Sir's women…..this subordinate will definitely not stare at them.   Luo Yu is a person who understands manners!"

Lin Mu Yu came forward to pat his shoulder.  This was indeed someone who understood manners, a good brother!

After sending Luo Yu off, they went to the central tent.  There was only Tang Xiao Xi and Lin Mu Yu in the central tent.  The two of them sat opposite each other and felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Lin Mu Yu broke the silence by saying, "Xiao Xi, how has cultivating the Fire Fox Seal been going?"

Tang Xiao Xi thought about it before saying, "Grandfather taught me the Fire Fox Seal when I wasn't even six year old yet, only I couldn't cultivate it with my physique.  Now that my profound gate has been opened, the Fire Fox Seal has been naturally formed. Right now, I'm in the third level of the Fire Fox Seal and in another five days, I'll reach the fourth level.  Grandpa Qu Chu said that with my comprehension, I'll be able to reach the seventh Fire Fox Seal level in less than two months. He said that my natural talent is far above big brother Tang Bin's!

"It's like this……"

Lin Mu Yu was also secretly happy, "Then that is great…..Xiao Xi will become an expert of the Fire Fox Seal, this is a great thing for us.  That's right, how has Xiao Yin's cultivation been going?"

"It's still good, Xiao Yin's cultivation speed isn't slow and she has been progressing by leaps and bounds in the past year.  She was planning on coming to the Cangnan Province with me, it's a pity…..his majesty wouldn't allow it. She could only stay in the Ze Tian Palace and cultivate."

"Ha, so it's like this……"

Lin Mu Yu couldn't help smiling as he said, "I haven't seen you and Xiao Yin in several days, I was indeed thinking about you….."

Tang Xiao Xi pouted as she said with a look of disbelief, "Now that you are a powerful ten thousand man commander, I thought you were completely focused on military matters and didn't have time to think about us!" 

"How could that be?"

Lin Mu Yu said with a smile, "I'm only thinking about military matters because the empire needs me.  That's right, we're breaking camp and setting off for Orchid Goose City tomorrow, so eat a bit more and sleep a bit earlier."

"Un."

When it was night, Luo Yu and several Dragon Courage Camp mercenaries brought food and wine, as well as several chefs back from Silver Fir City.  Perhaps only princess Xi would receive this kind of treatment, as a large table of delicacies was made in the central tent. Of course, Lin Mu Yu and Tang Xiao Xi couldn't finish this alone, so they invited Luo Yu, Wei Chou, Qi Ying, and the other military officers to eat together.

This made Qi Ying, Wei Chou, and the others almost begin crying.  They had fought for most of their lives in the army and they never had the honour of eating with a princess.  Their tears fell into their soup bowls and it seemed to have more flavour when they ate it. Lin Mu Yu was secretly cursing these people for having no manners while putting food in Tang Xiao Xi's plate.  He teased Tang Xiao Xi until her anger was gone and she was filled with happiness.

After they finished, a soldier came from afar to report.  Finally, general Chen Yang led the fifteen thousand infantry to Silver Fir City, but the battle was already over, but it seemed wrong for them to leave without doing anything.  Lin Mu Yu arranged a route for him, taking care of the newly emerging Swordsman Hall branches as they returned to Orchid Goose City, which could be considered keeping people from harm.
