My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 192 - Are you prepared to die

Chapter 192: Are you prepared to die?

Under Ye Jiu’s astonished gaze, Sikong Mo turned his eyes to the distant sky, his voice deep and intoxicating, yet the words he uttered were tinged with sadness. “Tonight, Si Bei and I will set fire to the granaries of Nanchang’s 200,000-strong army. Then, Si Rong will take the opportunity to lead you all around this army and back to Dongyue. Once you cross the border, you will be safe.”

Ye Jiu couldn’t believe it. “Just… the two of you will carry out this operation?”

“We were always meant to move in secrecy, and we never had many with us to begin with. Besides, we are going to do something nefarious. If we had too many people, wouldn’t that risk exposing our movements?” Sikong Mo said.

But on one side was an enemy army of 200,000, and on theirs, only he and the Si Bei guard would be taking action. Wasn’t this disparity a bit too large?

Or was it that he would have to sacrifice himself to ensure that Prince Jing returned safely to Dongyue?

Ye Jiu’s heart suddenly tightened.

In reality, although the previously known Young Master Sikong was indeed frightening, throughout their journey, he had taken care of her quite a bit.

If he were to die just like that, Ye Jiu didn’t even dare to contemplate the consequences.

“Ye Jiu, I’ve always felt that you are different, as if, we had met before. You always make it easy for me to feel a sense of closeness,” Sikong Mo said and then turned his head and left.

Sitting next to a tree, Ye Jiu’s heart uncontrollably thumped wildly.

She felt like Young Master Sikong was flirting with her, but again, she had no proof of it.

No, no, no, she truly felt from the bottom of her heart that it was impossible.

After all, with her current face, even she didn’t want to look at it, so what was there to make the elegant and noble Young Master Sikong desire to flirt with her?

Despite being very tired, she was too agitated to fall asleep.

Latter, Ye Jiu simply submerged her consciousness into the space, organizing the items in her storage space.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous object caught her eye.

This was a trade item from La Sike before he had left, but since it was so unremarkable, Ye Jiu had overlooked it while organizing.

A dark object the size of a palm, unfolded to reveal a vest for adults.

Reading the item description, a slow smile began to spread across Ye Jiu’s lips.

This vest utilized the physics of magnets in its creation. Once worn, any sword or blade swung towards it would be deflected by the force of the magnets, and considering that almost all weapons at the time were made of iron, it could achieve the effect of being impervious to swords and guns.

It was just perfect. Wearing this vest, she could at least protect her vital areas from injury, making it an essential tool for escaping, fighting, and killing enemies!

Unfortunately, there was only one. If only she had a few more.

Ye Jiu finally convinced herself that one must not be too greedy; otherwise, it only adds troubles to oneself.

The vest wasn’t heavy, and wearing it felt only slightly heavier than regular clothing, which was simply perfect.

As night approached, Ye Jiu, hearing a faint noise, opened her eyes and saw Sikong Mo walking towards her.

Ye Jiu stood up, straightening her body as she watched Sikong Mo.

“Are you… about to set off?” Ye Jiu asked.

“Yes,” Sikong Mo nodded, pausing for a long while before adding, “I’ve already instructed Si Rong that, once back in Dongyue, he will arrange for someone to take you home.”

Sikong Mo would have liked to personally escort him home, but he was even more aware that after returning to Dongyue, the battle with Nanchang was inevitable, and he would have to reenter the war.

A complex emotion flickered through Ye Jiu’s eyes.

Did he already prepare himself for the possibility of death?
