Berserk God of War

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Having a Virtuous Wife

”Could it be that this demon beast killed her brother?”

”After all, Wang Hua and the others died in the Minglong Mountain Range, which is closest to the Canglong Small Domain...”

Mo Ci, not knowing the actions of Wang Qing, made such a guess, but eventually shook his head and said, ”Oh well, since that demon beast allowed Wang Ge to progress rapidly, let’s just leave it be and not pursue it.”

As long as the Supreme Forget Love Technique remains unproblematic, Sikong Ling wouldn’t have any issues, and Mo Ci couldn’t be bothered to fuss over it anymore.

”Send a letter back to the Long Night Empire and say... forget explaining anything.”

Suddenly, Mo Ci changed the subject, ”My Wangyou Sect also suffered heavy losses due to the human-shaped monster. Have them investigate the origin; otherwise, don’t blame our Wangyou Sect for being impolite.”

The Great Elder, hearing this, nodded gravely and disappeared from Mo Ci’s presence, off to send the reply.

...

Half a month later, a travel-weary figure entered the 66th Town of the Long Night Black Burning Camp, but as soon as he appeared, he was stopped by a group of Black-armored Soldiers.

”Who goes there? This is a small town of the Black Burning Army, entry is forbidden to non-family members.”

The dust-covered man looked up at the Black Armor squad and smiled, ”I am a family member of the Black Armor soldiers of the 66th Army. My name is Sikong Jing, and my father-in-law is Su Zhenglong.”

At this statement, the Black-armored Soldiers looked at each other and hurriedly reported it up the chain.

Shortly after, a Black Armor squad leader appeared. He smiled heartily as he led Sikong Jing into the 66th Town, explaining, ”Brother Sikong, these Black-armored Soldiers are new recruits and don’t recognize you. Don’t be offended.”

The 66th Army could boast 200,000 troops, yet only 80,000 of them recognized Sikong Jing.

Sikong Jing smiled indifferently, ”It’s alright, now the town has regular patrols, it seems safer.”

After leaving the Wangyou Sect, Sikong Jing had completely exited his demonized state, and now he was no different from usual.

”Yes, about a month ago, there was a big incident.”

”A Divine Spaceship from Wangyou Sect broke into the Long Night Black Burning Camp, and even ripped apart 67th General Fu Mian into pieces. Afterwards, they went to the Long Night Imperial City and caused a massacre.”

”As a result, the Beigong Commander ordered to strengthen the defenses of each town.”

The Black Armor squad leader vividly recounted the big incident that occurred a month earlier.

However, he obviously didn’t know that it was all Sikong Jing’s doing.

It was all because of Beigong Xianfeng’s concealment and even numerous newly cooked-up stories, such as killing certain generals and the likes.

Sikong Jing, with a puzzled face, thought, I only killed Fu Mian, how did they get it turned into so many?

Can we not spread false rumors?

However, the more Sikong Jing listened, the more he found it amusing because there was no mention of himself at all, it was all attributed to Wangyou Sect.

The so-called false rumors were also directed at Wangyou Sect, having nothing to do with him at all.

Just then, the Black Armor squad leader added, ”But, it is said that Wangyou Sect sent a rebuttal letter, claiming that they too were victims, all due to that human-shaped monster wreaking havoc; furthermore, many of their disciples died in the Minglong Mountain Range.”

Sikong Jing nodded, his curiosity growing.

Logically speaking, Su Yuexi and her mother-in-law Mei Xiaofang were in the Lan Family’s home at that time; they should have been captured, and the Long Night Empire should have been able to guess that the human-shaped monster was connected to him, so why was there no mention of it?

Moreover, the Black Armor squad leader said that Yuexi and her father-in-law and mother-in-law were all doing fine without any issues.

And just as the Black Armor squad leader was leading Sikong Jing to Su Yuexi’s new home, they discovered that no one was there; both Yuexi and Mei Xiaofang were absent.

”Sikong Jing, you’re finally back.”

At that moment, a striking figure in Black Armor appeared—it was Xia Dalian.

Seeing her, Sikong Jing remembered the events that had occurred a month ago outside the small woods by 66th Town. He smiled at her, then signaled the Black Armor squad leader to go attend to his duties as he wanted to chat with Xia Dalian.

After the Black Armor squad leader left, Xia Dalian stared at Sikong Jing and said, ”Aren’t you going to thank me?”

Thinking back to the events of a month ago, Xia Dalian still felt a lingering fear.

At that time, due to reporting Su Yuexi’s abduction, she was nearly humiliated by several bastard Black-armored Soldiers.

If it weren’t for the human-shaped demon beast that suddenly appeared, she might have been completely ruined, and whether she could have survived was uncertain.

And because of Su Yuexi’s mix of true and false statements to the Beigong Xianfeng.

Xia Dalian had thought that Sikong Jing was inside the blue Divine Spaceship at the time, and that the human-shaped demon beast was sent by him.

A glint flashed in Sikong Jing’s eyes as he sincerely said, ”Thank you, Princess Die Lian.”

If it weren’t for Xia Dalian’s directions, he wouldn’t have eliminated the 67th General, Fu Mian, so quickly, nor would he have arrived at the Lan Family in time; and at that moment, the situation was urgent. If he had been a step later, Yue Xi would have killed herself at the Lan Family.

”Thank you too for saving me then,” Xia Dalian said, biting her lip as she looked back at Sikong Jing.

Suddenly, Sikong Jing’s body trembled slightly. Could it be Xia Dalian knew he was the human-shaped monster?

But Xia Dalian’s next words left Sikong Jing dumbfounded.

She pouted and said, ”You obviously know the human-shaped demon beast, you stole my Flying Blood Colorful Winged Horse, Ma Erhong, and you lied to me when we were in Yunzhou, Shang Country.”

Xia Dalian rambled on, speaking resentfully.

It dawned on Sikong Jing then that Xia Dalian had differentiated between his demonized state as a Blood Devouring Demon Beast and himself.

The so-called human-shaped demon beast had become his friend...

While he had been inside the Divine Spaceship of the Wangyou Sect, commanding the human-shaped demon beast, and eventually used it to force the Beigong Commander to throw all the blame on the Wangyou Sect.

His affair with Su Yuexi was completely concealed.

”Princess Die Lian, did Yue Xi tell you all this?” Sikong Jing asked, somewhat surprised.

Xia Dalian gave him a strange look and said, ”Yes, now only your family, the Beigong Commander, the Vice Commander Cao Yi, General Ning, and I know that you’re the one commanding the Divine Spaceship of the Wangyou Sect.”

”General Ning and I only came to know the truth because we happened to meet your human-shaped demon beast friend.”

”Everyone else is still in the dark.”

Suddenly, Sikong Jing was stunned.

A slight smile tugged at his lips; Yue Xi had actually managed to completely conceal his demonization.

On his way back, Sikong Jing had been pondering what excuse he would use if any problems arose?

But Yue Xi had already taken care of all potential issues.

He truly had a wise wife!

”You really are audacious, but I admire you for that.”

As Xia Dalian watched Sikong Jing smiling, she felt a profound jealousy towards Su Yuexi and took a deep breath before saying, ”General Ning said if you return, to immediately go find her at the 66th Army...”

”Right, your wife is also at the 66th Castle.”

”Today is the day your father-in-law, Su Zhenglong, along with Su Yue Immortal and Sui Yu, are officially becoming Black-armored Soldiers. It’s the helmet bestowal ceremony, and your wife went there to attend the event.”

With Xia Dalian’s words, Sikong Jing understood.

It had been nearly three months since they came to the Long Night Black Burning Army.

Su Zhenglong and Su Yue Immortal had greatly increased their strength, and had finally left the Reserve Camp to officially become Black-armored Soldiers.
