53 Chapter 53: If they want
"So this is the city of Qiling?"
Eren stood at the end of the long line of people that were waiting to enter the city.
Xiu Ying stood next to him, wearing a mask to hide her charming face.
"At this rate, how long is this line going to take?"
Eren scratched the back of his head. There were around a hundred people in the line before him. And the line was moving extremely slowly.
"Should I kill them all?"
As soon as he heard Xiu Ying's response, he turned around.
"Why do your thoughts revolve around killing?"
"They are obstructing your path! Your time is more important than their lives."
"You and your methods... Remember, you aren't allowed to kill anyone. If things escalate, we might have to expose our identities, and only troubles will follow us then."
"But-"
"No buts. I have plenty of time, so even if it's slow, it's better than killing anyone."
Eren didn't understand why this woman changed so much. Was it all because of his love?
In the novel, she was rarely mentioned. She never left the sect. Although she killed many people, they were all those who annoyed her.
For some reason, she reminded him of the yandere characters in some of the stories he read. And in the novel, she wasn't supposed to be like that.
Even when the Main Character tried to win over her, he had failed.
Everyone entering the city was thoroughly getting checked. The line kept moving, extremely slowly.
"Why is it taking so long today?"
Standing in the line were many merchants. They were regular in the city, but even they hadn't seen a delay like this.
"The security is so strict today. It looks like someone really important is coming today."
"That would explain it. No wonder it's taking so long."
Eren stood in the line, eavesdropping on the conversations of people in front of him.
Hearing this, Eren wondered if it was the right choice to choose this city to rest.
He had even sent his Pheonix away to rest the night, so as to not attract too much attention when entering the city.
Fortunately, even though it was taking a long time, his number finally came.
As he approached the security checkpoint, Eren noticed the increased level of scrutiny and thoroughness in the process.
There were many questions being asked from him, regarding his identity and his purpose.
He lied through most of the questions. He made up a story about being a wandering cultivator who was here to rest on the way to his destination.
"Is that woman with you?"
"That's correct. She is my wife."
Xiu Ying's face went red in happiness as well as embarrassment. Fortunately, no one could see her face thanks to the mask.
"And why is she hiding her face?"
"That is a long story. There was an accident and her face was burned. Ever since then, she hides her face before others."
"Oh?" The guard looked at Xiu Ying from top to bottom.
Even as she was wearing a mask, he could still feel that her body was oozing charm. Just her curves alone were enough to make his heart skip a beat.
He smiled, thinking of something.
"She is wearing a mask. It makes me suspicious. I will have to check her thoroughly." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Eren stepped before Xiu Ying, frowning. "I am afraid I can't let you do that."
"You two! You are definitely hiding something! Why else would you be scared of getting checked!"
The Guard's smile widened. Eren could already see the greedy look on his face.
"As I said, she is my wife. And we aren't here to create any trouble. But if you don't want to allow us an entry, we will leave."
Even now, Eren tried to calmly avoid creating a mess.
By stopping the guard, he wasn't just protecting Xiu Ying. He would have to be a fool to think that she needed his protection.
Instead, he was protecting this city.
Only he knew how dangerous Xiu Ying was. She only allowed him to touch her.
If the Guard was to try, then before his fingers could even touch her, his head was going to fly in the air.
He held Xiu Ying's hand, and turned to leave.
They didn't need to rest in the city if it was going to be this troublesome.
The Guard blocked Eren's path.
Even more guards stepped forward, aiming their spears at him.
"Now that you have been caught, you think you can leave? We need to find out your true purpose!"
"Were you planning to kill the Prince? What are you two hiding? Why did you get so flustered when you were caught!"
The Guard made up reasons to catch the couple. All he had to do was capture them. It didn't matter if they were innocent.
He could just make them disappear after he had his fun.
Eren scratched the back of his head, letting out a sigh.
"I want to leave peacefully. Are you all sure that you want to escalate things? It hasn't been long since the city was repaired after all."
"Even now, you are talking so big? You definitely have a suspicious identity! You are coming with us!"
The guard glanced at Xiu Ying, licking his lips. "And so is that woman. I'm sure she has many secrets. I will interrogate her myself."
"Can I kill them now?" Xiu Ying asked Eren again.
She was trying really hard to control her anger. These people dared to point their weapons at Eren?
The moment they raised their weapons at him, she wanted to kill them all. It was only because she promised him that she wouldn't kill anyone without his permission and that was why she was still controlling this anger.
With things reaching this point, Eren finally agreed with her. In this world, weakness was a sin.
"If they want death, then so be it. But make sure that no one is left alive to reveal what happened here."
