If I Don’t Die, I’ll Truly Be Invincible

Chapter 34

Chapter 34: I Definitely Won’t Survive This Wave

Ye Ning, who was pushed out of the door directly, was dumbfounded.

Big sister, are you being too wilful?

You’re just letting me go like this?

Aren’t you afraid I’ll shout?

Aren’t you worried I’ll report you to the authorities?

Ye Ning didn’t know where Xiao Qianqian’s confidence came from.

In fact, Xiao Qianqian was just emotionally overwhelmed and confused. In order to avoid being seen through by him, she directly kicked him out.

But Ye Ning naturally wouldn’t know that.

“Girl, are you qualified to be a spy like this? Or are you just too naive? If it weren’t for me not meeting you, you would be in big trouble.” Ye Ning muttered.

Would he go and report Xiao Qianqian?

Of course not.

He was about to die soon, so why bother with such trivial matters?

Achieving his desire immediately, his whole being was floating.

Happy!

I’m finally going to die.

The only regret is that I won’t die immediately, but have to wait three days.

But thinking carefully, Xiao Qianqian’s reasons were also valid. If Ye Ning really died here, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.

Immersed in joy, Ye Ning didn’t think deeply and decisively accepted this result.

“Going home to await death! I definitely won’t survive this wave!”

He hummed a tune happily, hands behind his back, and walked downstairs with a swagger.

Along the way, many people saw him and started gossiping.

“He’s out so soon?”

“Look at Lord Ye’s appearance, he seems really pleased.”

“Could it be that he and Miss Xiao did something?”

“It’s possible. Miss Xiao probably can’t resist Lord Ye’s charm.”

“How could this be? Miss Xiao is my goddess!”

“Save it, she’s a beauty and he’s talented. What say do you have to oppose them, you monster?”

Under the envious gaze of everyone, Ye Ning gradually walked away.

He wouldn’t know that shortly after he left, Xiao Qianqian took advantage of the night and entered the palace.

He wouldn’t know that near his home, overnight, several seemingly inconspicuous ordinary people suddenly appeared, some selling pancakes, some selling flowers, and some sweeping the streets… They were all spies from the Intelligence Division, responsible for clearing possible risks around Ye Ning’s residence.

He wouldn’t know that there was no poison in the wine at all.

Sometimes, the more ignorant, the happier.

Just like Ye Ning at this moment, dreaming of his demise in three days, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Sleeping soundly, mouth open, dreaming of his stylish appearance as the Heavenly Emperor…

—

The night was like Xiao Qianqian’s shawl.

She approached the secret door of the palace like a ghost.

After showing a token, the secret door slowly opened, and she entered the palace.

A moment later, she met with the Emperor and Ji Mingyue in the study.

“I probably already know what happened. He wrote a poem, his talent is truly astonishing.”

Ji Mingyue wasn’t completely clueless and had some understanding of the situation.

However, Xiao Qianqian shook her head and said, “No, Your Majesty, you don’t know.”

She recounted her experience today.

The poem was not the main point at all.

For literati, poems were very important.

Literature conveyed principles, and poems, like literature, had the power to destroy the heavens and earth.

But for the country, poems were just a small path.

Xiao Qianqian didn’t want to discuss it too much. She briefly described the scene of Ye Ning writing poetry, then handed “Butterflies in Love with Flowers” to Ji Mingyue.

Then she continued with what happened next.

“Is this the national treasure poem?” Ji Mingyue slowly unrolled the scroll.

Indeed, it was the national poem. Each word was precious, the paper weighed a thousand catties, and the ink fragrance lasted a long time. Just smelling it refreshed one’s spirit and concentration a hundredfold.

This poem itself was a priceless treasure.

He examined it carefully, unwilling to put it down, appreciating it while listening to Xiao Qianqian’s description.

“… At that time, I saw him confused and enchanted, so I got to the point, saying I was a spy from the Rakshasa Country, but I didn’t expect that he didn’t even hesitate for a moment. He immediately pushed me away, and discarded me like an old shoe!”

As she said this, Xiao Qianqian’s face was smiling.

It was she who was pushed away, but she felt great.

Ji Mingyue was also intrigued, no longer looking at the poem but quietly listening.

“After that, I invited him to join the Rakshasa Country, tempting him with beauty and high position, but he loudly rebuked me and even called me a lowly person.”

Xiao Qianqian smiled even brighter, as if being called lowly made her enjoy it.

This scene made Ji Mingyue marvel.

He had never seen Xiao Qianqian like this before.

“After that, I threatened him. If he didn’t join, he would die… On one hand, there’s beauty and high position, on the other hand, there’s death. I thought he would consider it this time, right? But he still didn’t.”

Xiao Qianqian took a deep breath, and she said only one thing.

“A good general doesn’t fear death to escape danger, a martyr doesn’t compromise to seek survival.”

A general won’t compromise to avoid death, and a martyr won’t sacrifice integrity to seek life.

A simple sentence, yet it contained extraordinary power.

“Indeed, I didn’t misjudge him!” Ji Mingyue murmured.

Ye Ning’s determination exceeded her imagination.

Not fearing death, not burdened by reputation, not greedy for wealth, not fond of power, not swayed by beauty, was there really such a perfect person in the world?

And Xiao Qianqian’s narrative continued.

“After he said this, I was deeply moved, but at the same time, I was puzzled. I didn’t understand what kind of power was supporting him, allowing him to have such incredible courage. I asked him, why do other people surrender and compromise, but you won’t?”

“How did he respond?” Ji Mingyue listened intently.

“He told me, vileness is the passport of the vile, nobility is the epitaph of the noble!

“He said, what doesn’t kill him will make him stronger.

“He also said, if he dies, his spirit will continue to live on.”

As Xiao Qianqian finished speaking, she was filled with emotion.

Even after several hours had passed, she was still immersed in the emotions of being moved and shocked, unable to extricate herself.

And Ji Mingyue, who had just listened to these words, was just getting immersed.

The words Ye Ning said were filled with an inspiring power.

Combined with his situation at the time, they were as valuable as gold.

“Your Majesty, Great Zhou has truly struck gold!” For the first time, Xiao Qianqian spoke with such sincere tone.

But after she finished speaking, she added. “But, Your Majesty, after getting to know Lord Ye better, I feel that we shouldn’t involve him in our plans.”
