Yan Ge had never seen such an incomprehensible bird beast, but when she recalled that beast that would only eat her every time, she was relieved . All crows under the sun were black1; these beasts were not originally existences normal people could speculate on .

Ji Zai continued his narrative with a nervous voice: “The gates are opening, the gates are opening . He’s coming out . Oh heck, the mighty one really isn’t ordinary . You can’t tell when he has no clothes on, but he looks so freaking cool in armor . ”
Yan Ge:…
Whenever she and Emperor Yuan went pppa2 Ji Zai said the so-called system automatically blocked any scenes that were unsuitable for children . Was that all a lie?
Ji Zai didn’t know it had exposed itself as it stared at the man coming out of the gate with bright eyes: “He’s too handsome . I forgot to check if he was human! Blockhead, do you think he’s the same kind as me? Can I pry in your corner3?”
"It's okay . " He wasn't her man . "But are you sure you like men?"
She remembers this guy is a male!

Ji Zai rolled its eyes over Yan Ge’s unintelligible notion: "What’s the difference between liking a man and liking a woman? If he and I really are the same, I have to peel off his skin and hang it up for me to look at every day . ”
Yan Ge was silent . Sure enough, plants and beasts weren't suitable for communication . She no longer cared about Ji Zai’s love-struck monologue and focused on Emperor Yuan .
The 50,000 troops and horses he brought from Wucheng clamored ahead and barbarians were in the process of retreating in utter defeat .
Emperor Yuan rushed out in the first moments of the gates opened . Together with everyone, he moved the Ming Jia soldiers who were pressed on Yan Ge’s body .
Every Ming army man had been shot into a sieve by arrows . No place was left intact on their bodies . It was a shocking sight to behold .
Emperor Yuan called out Yan Ge’s name .

His heart would rise whenever he saw a soldier with an undistinguishable face, but he was given hope every time .
"Yan Ge, Yan Ge . " He shouted a panic: "Where are you? Zhen’s[I'm] here, Zhen’s[I've]] come for you!"
A hand pinched the hem his clothes .
Looking down, he saw a copper coin in that barely recognizable hand that was covered in mud and blood .
It was Yan Ge, the person that always occupied his thoughts .
"Yan Ge!" He held her hand tightly in sorrow and in joy . For a moment, he was laughing and crying: "Zhen’s[I'm] here, Zhen’s[I'm] here . "

How fortunate he was not too late . She was still alive, she's alive!
He made great gambles countless times in his life, but he will remember this one time for the rest of his life .
Joy was radiating through Emperor Yuan in waves . Just then, the soldiers on Yan Ge’s body had all been moved and the first thing he saw was the arrow pierced through her .
There were injuries of all sizes on her body, and the original color of her stained armor could not be seen . One hand was squeezing his while the other was placed on her stomach .
He could see it clearly . She had taken out the mirror armor1 from her chest and covered her abdomen with it .
“Yan Ge, Yan Ge . . . " He carefully cradled her in his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out and find the physician . "
He picked her up and ran towards the gate, all the while shouting for the imperial physician .
His sleeves were tugged, and he lowered his head to see Yan Ge’s somewhat unfocused gaze .
She pulled the corners of her mouth as if to smile at him, but her chapped lips cracked, causing blood to flow out .
"Qi'an . " Her voice was feathery light, akin to a shallow exhale . It was difficult to hear, yet it travelled into his heart like an ethereal breath .
