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. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The security is so strict today. It looks like someone really important is coming today."

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."
