Chapter Seventy-Four Won't Wait For You

  "With the status of Feng Hua Bo, do you still need to care about those things?" Bai Cangdong really couldn't understand that in Feng Hua City, Feng Hua Bo was the real queen, even if her man was just an ordinary person without a title, no one dared to speak ill of him in front of her.

  Why did the Countess of Windflower never mention her own husband and even dare not announce her own biological daughter to the world?

  "What if that person is the archenemy of the First Order of Light?"

  "The arch-nemesis of the First Order of Light! Could it be that your father, the husband of Countess Feng Hua, is Futa Hou?!" Bai Cangdong was shocked in his heart. The only person he knew who could be called the arch-nemesis of the First Order of Light was Futa Hou.

  More than thirty years ago, when Bai Cangdong was not yet born, Fodu Marquis came alone with a sword from the first step of the Dark and started endless killing in the first step of the Light. Many dukes couldn't deal with him, and even one duke was beheaded by him. In the end, it wasn't until the King of Light took action that Fodu Marquis was captured.

  "I truly wish it weren't so." Yan Mengyun sighed, "I don't know what happened between them, but the Earl is extremely resentful of him. Except for when he acknowledged me, he never mentions him."

  "Leave Windflower City, now we can't be together, I don't want to see you get killed because of me. I will work hard to become a count, then we can truly be together, and no one will be able to stop us." Yan Mengyun said after a moment of silence.

  "When can you be promoted to Earl?" asked Bai Cangdong.

  "She still had thirteen years of life left, she said before her death, she must let me be promoted to earl."

  "So she didn't have 100% confidence."

  "Yes, even if she had used all her strength to help me, I would have had less than a 50% chance of success. She told me that herself." Yan Mengyun lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I know it's been a long time and the chances are slim, but I'll try my best. Will you wait for me?"

  "I won't wait for you." Bai Cangdong shook his head.

  Yan Mengyun suddenly lifted her head and looked at Bai Cangdong, with disappointment in her eyes.

  "Because I don't have the patience to wait for thirteen years."

  Yan Mengyun felt even more disappointed.

  "For me, every second without you is unbearable, so I won't wait for thirteen years to let you take a risk with less than a 50% chance." Bai Cangdong pinched Yan Mengyun's chin and said proudly: "I will be promoted to Earl before you."

  "Cang Dong..." Yan Mengyun wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked by a scorching hot lip.

  Bai Cang's lips were almost suffocating Yan Mengyun, and he finally let her go, got up and left the compartment. When he reached the door, he said to Yan Mengyun with his back to her: "Whether you are willing to wait for me or not, it's better for a man to say that."

  "I'll wait for you, whether it's thirteen years or one hundred and thirty years." Yan Mengyun murmured to herself as she gazed at the distant horizon where Bai Canghai had disappeared.

  Bai Cang walked out of the teahouse and hadn't gone far when he was stopped by a female knight.

  "Every second without you is unbearable, so I won't wait for thirteen years to let you take a risk with less than a 50% chance. I will be promoted to Earl before you, and it's thanks to you that I can say this." The female knight said coldly to Bai Cangdong.

  Bai Cang's old face turned red, this kind of intimate talk between lovers was really not suitable for outsiders to hear.

  "Follow me." The female knight turned around with an expressionless face.

  "Why should I go with you?" Bai Cangdong sneered.

  "If you only have this little bit of courage, then don't dream anymore. Leave Fenghuacheng early and forget about Mengyun." The female knight said as she walked towards the city gate without even looking back to see if Bai Cangdong was following her.

  Bai Cang Dong hesitated for a moment, but still followed the female knight out of Feng Hua City. If the other party wanted to harm him, it was obviously more suitable inside Feng Hua City than outside. Moreover, judging from her tone, she seemed to have a very good relationship with Yan Meng Yun.

  On the riverbank, the female knight summoned her own armament, a giant sword that looked only slightly smaller than White Tiger's Broken Evil Sword, its entire body a deep red like blood.

  "Defeat me, and I'll help you keep the secret. But if you can't even beat me, get out of Fenghuacheng immediately, and never think about Dream Cloud again." The female knight said expressionlessly.

  "Whether or not I can defeat you has nothing to do with whether I'm qualified to be with Meng Yun." Bai Cangdong looked at the female knight in surprise, her strength was obviously extremely powerful, far beyond what Hua Qianwu and others could compare to, clearly not one of Yan Mengyun's knights, but rather a knight of Feng Hua Earl.

  The knight of the Marquis of Fenghua, however, said that he was willing to help him keep his secret, which was what made Bai Cangdong feel unexpected. It seemed that this female knight and Yan Mengyun had a very good relationship indeed.

  "The deal is simple, defeat me and prove you have the ability to fulfill what you just said to Meng Yun. I can help you keep it a secret, otherwise, if you don't leave Feng Hua City, I will tell everything to Duke-sama, and at that time, you will surely die." The female knight said.

  "So it seems I have no choice." Bai Cangdong said with a bitter smile.

  "Draw your sword and let me see if you are the kind of man who is shamelessly debased and vile." The female knight pointed her giant sword at Bai Cangdong.

  At that time, when Bai Cang said those words, he naturally exaggerated a bit like other men and added some sweet talk, but he would absolutely not admit it.

  Bai Cang Dong summoned his own equipment, which was a set of messy and mismatched armor, and the sword in his hand was also a low-quality Baron-level piece.

  The female knight looked at Bai Cao's outfit, which was a mess of colors, and the sword in his hand, which was terrible in her eyes. Her eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a "川" shape.

  "You're still the president of Doran Society, has it fallen to this point?"

  Bai Cang's heart skipped a beat as he realized the female knight knew he was the leader of the Knife Lun Society, which meant she must also know his true identity and background.

  "These are enough to deal with you." Bai Cangdong said proudly.

  "The sharpness of your tongue is useless, summon your true arsenal instead, lest you regret losing afterwards."

  "I've said it before, this is enough to deal with you." Bai Cangdong wasn't unwilling to summon the Po Xie Sword and other equipment, but as soon as he summoned them, he would immediately expose himself as the Masked Viscount, so he didn't dare to summon them.

  "I hope you don't regret it." The female knight was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Cangdong's frivolity, and with one sword strike, a crimson sword light dragged out for over 30 meters, fiercely chopping down.

  Although I had already known that the female knight's strength must be extremely powerful, I didn't expect her divine light to be so profound. Just this one sword light can reveal that her divine light has been cultivated to at least 100 levels or more, and it is also a special longevity technique, otherwise the sword light would not have been crimson like blood.

  Bai Cangdong suddenly released a gust of wind spirit, and he himself quickly retreated, dodging the sword light. Afterward, from a distance, he controlled the golden wind spirit to coil towards the sword light.

  Boom!

  Feng Ling was directly shattered by the sword light and had no ability to struggle under the sword light.

  "The Golden Essence's divine light is decent, but unfortunately it only has around twenty units of power, still too weak." The female knight said, and once again slashed out a blood-red sword light.

  Bai Cangdong dodged the female knight's sword light again from a distance, and launched two gusts of wind. This time, he didn't let the wind collide head-on with the female knight's sword light, but instead made them swirl around her like living things, wrapping around her from both sides.

  Bai Cang decided not to fight the female knight head-on, as her divine light was far superior to his own. Her martial skills and combat experience were also extremely rich, and in a situation where he couldn't use his usual techniques or handy equipment, fighting head-on would be suicidal.

  Two gusts of wind swayed left and right, like two seductive dancing girls, swirling around the female knight, twisting her waist and swinging her hips back and forth. The female knight couldn't help but hit them, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hit them. She wanted to rush over and hit Bai Cangdong, but he dodged far away, running as fast as a rabbit, not giving her any chance to get close, making the female knight feel suffocated to death.

  "You coward, hiding and sneaking around is no skill at all. Do you dare to fight me head-on?"

  Bai Cang's distant smile said: "My innate divine light only has twenty grids, yours is over a hundred, let me and you hard fight, do you think I'm brainless?"

  The female knight was hit by a gloomy attack, but Bai Cangdong became interested and released another wind spirit, controlling three wind spirits to surround the female knight.

  It was a bit awkward at first, and controlling it was somewhat conflicting. If you weren't careful, things would get messy, allowing the female knight to seize an opportunity to destroy two wind spirits.

  Fortunately, Feng Ling didn't require too much of his life force, so Bai Cang Dong immediately summoned two more Feng Lings and excitedly began practicing the Three Controls Technique.

  From the initial awkwardness, after the female knight seized the opportunity to cut off a few gusts of wind, Bai Cangdong's control became more and more smooth. The three gusts of wind became more and more agile, like three giant flies, buzzing around the female knight non-stop, hitting but not hitting, driving but unable to drive away.

  When Bai Cangdong released his fourth Wind Spirit, the female knight's expression was as if she had eaten a few dead flies.

  "Enough." The female knight said with a scowl.

  "What's wrong?" Bai Cangdong was excited to play, after mastering the control of three wind spirits, he had already begun to prepare for practicing the control of four wind spirits, but the female knight suddenly said she didn't want to fight anymore.

  "You're so despicable, what kind of man are you?" The female knight gritted her teeth and said. Since becoming a knight of the Earl of Fenghua, she had followed the Earl through countless battles, but never felt as stifled as she did today.

  "Is it wrong to use my strengths to attack your weaknesses? Do I have to be a fool and charge forward, get beaten half to death by you, and then wait for you to proudly tell me to roll out of Fenghuacheng before I can be considered a real man?" Bai Cang said with a sneer.

  The female knight was momentarily speechless, unable to think of a way to refute Bai Cangdong, and her heart felt even more depressed.

  "You'll keep it a secret for me, won't you?" asked Bai Cangdong with a wink.

  "Don't let me find out you've wronged Meng Yun, or I'll personally behead you." After throwing down this sentence, the female knight didn't want to see Bai Cangdong's detestable face again, nor did she want to hear his detestable voice. She directly summoned a snow-white undead mount and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
