After hearing what the crab soldier said, the Dragon King frowned and looked at Nezha, who was cutting down enemies all the way.
"Hmph... You've harmed my son so badly, yet you still dare to bully my people. It seems I really can't let you live."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King ascended into the sky and looked down at the people fighting below.
"Nezha... I advise you to stop."
"You wouldn't want the people of Chentang Pass to suffer an undeserved disaster because of you, would you?"
After the Dragon King finished speaking, he prepared to control the seawater to flood Chentang Pass.
Upon hearing the Dragon King's voice, Nezha casually swatted away a crab soldier and looked up at the sky.
Like Nezha, there is also Li Jing.
After dealing with one of the shrimp soldiers, Li Jing saw the sky filled with seawater.
"Stop, senior! Even if you all attack together, you can't defeat Nezha."
Li Jing wanted to persuade the Dragon King to stop, since he couldn't stop the seawater from flowing down.
"Hmph, stop? That sounds nice, but my son was injured for nothing."
The Dragon King had no desire to say more to Li Jing.
Although it's unclear why this freak Nezha is so strong, her ability to control seawater is enough to threaten her opponents.
Chapter 300 Husband, Save Nezha
“I’m not going to waste my breath on you. If Nezha doesn’t die today… then all the people of Chentang Pass, including you soldiers who are defending our country, will die.”
The Dragon King didn't want to get tangled up with Li Jing; all she wanted now was for Nezha to die.
Upon hearing the threat from the Dragon King in the sky, many soldiers stopped waving their spears and turned their gazes toward Nezha, the son of General Li Jing.
"Why... we were all innocent victims, Dragon King. If you want to avenge your son, you should seek revenge on Nezha, not take us down with you."
"Yes, yes, General Li... quickly hand over Nezha."
Many soldiers already looked down on Nezha, who was an outsider, and today the enemy even caused them to be buried with him.
Many soldiers were discussing it among the crowd.
This put Li Jing in a difficult position, torn between his own flesh and blood and the people and soldiers. Choosing one side would be unfair to the other.
However, there is no such thing as fairness in the world.
"Hmph... Li Jing, I'll give you three seconds to think. If Nezha doesn't commit suicide, I'll flood the entire Chen Tang Pass. I believe you won't become the sinner of the entire Chen Tang Pass."
When the Dragon King saw Li Jing looking at Nezha and the people with a troubled expression, he also revealed a rather cunning smile.
Meanwhile, Wenxuan, who had just finished collecting the corpses of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the crowd below, also wanted to watch the show.
"Husband...husband, can you save our Nezha?"
Just as Wenxuan was wondering whether Li Jing and Nezha would commit suicide like in the original story, a pair of slender arms wrapped around him from behind.
Then came a slightly hurried sound.
“This…” Upon hearing the voice, Wenxuan turned his head, knowing that the person was Madam Yin.
Wenxuan pretended to be in a difficult position, but in reality... he was still confident in rescuing Nezha and Chentang Pass, after all... he had taken Li Jing's 100% chance of catching a blade barehanded.
But... Nezha isn't his child, so why should he help him? Although Wenxuan told Madam Yin that he treated Nezha as his own child, how could that be?
Seeing Wenxuan hesitate, Madam Yin also began to sob slightly.
"Husband... Nezha is my flesh and blood, I don't want him to die, please help me save Nezha."
Hearing Madam Yin's pitiful words and feeling the dampness on her shoulder, Wenxuan was also deeply moved by Madam Yin's words.
Then he pressed the other's furry head into his chest and stroked it.
"Madam... it's not that I don't want to save him, but your husband is also... sigh."
Wenxuan also expressed his inability to do anything.
However, halfway through his sentence, Wenxuan added, "Although we can't save our Nezha right now, he won't die... Don't worry."
Wenxuan knew that Nezha had his own opportunities; anyway, he would come back to life after dying, only turning into a lotus root.
"Really...really?"
"Hmm...of course it's true, why would your man lie to you?"
Seeing that Madam Yin's expression had softened slightly, Wenxuan tenderly wiped away her tears with his hand.
Seeing Madam Yin's grateful expression, he knew that her feelings for him had deepened considerably.
Thinking of this, Wenxuan felt grateful to Master Taiyi.
"Thank you... thank you, my husband. I promise you tonight I'll go... go to Li Jing's next door to do it."
Seeing that Wenxuan could save her son Nezha, Madam Yin's heart, which was already filled with Wenxuan, grew even heavier, almost to the point of overflowing.
Madam Yin looked at Wenxuan with hazy eyes, her gaze filled with unresolved doubts, love, and gratitude.
After shyly finishing her words, Madam Yin buried herself in Wenxuan's arms.
Li Jing was unaware of what was happening here, as he was still preoccupied with the question of whether to prioritize the safety of the mother or the child.
"Since you're not going to choose, I'll choose for you."
Seeing that Li Jing was hesitant to make a choice, the Dragon King became angry and raised the sea level by another hundred feet.
Looking at the dark, oppressive sea, many people knelt down in the direction of Li Jing.
"My lord... please, we don't want to die, please hand over Young Master Nezha."
"Nezha's life could have been exchanged for all of ours. No matter what, this whole mess was caused by that monster Nezha, so..."
Many soldiers and civilians pleaded with Li Jing.
Listening to the crowd's words, Li Jing felt extremely distressed.
“Shut up! I can’t let my child’s life be the price for all of us to live. He is my son, Li Jing’s son, so I have an obligation to protect him.”
Li Jing also stopped the discussion in the crowd.
"But General Li, do you really want your son to exchange for all of our lives?!"
"Then you would be a sinner for all time."
Seeing that Li Jing was ungrateful, the people all turned their anger towards the father and son.
"Shut up, I, Nezha, will take responsibility for my actions alone."
Nezha loudly stopped everyone, then looked up at the Dragon King in the sky.
"Dragon King, you just want me dead, fine... I'll give you my life, in the hope that you'll release everyone. This whole thing started because of me, so I'll be the one to destroy it."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon King's lips curled into a smile.
"Of course... I only need you to die, and once you're dead, I'll leave naturally."
"No... Little Nezha, with your father here, how can I let you pay with your life?" Li Jing hurriedly stopped him when he heard Nezha agree.
Then he turned to the Dragon King and said, "I can die in place of my son, I only ask that you not harm anyone."
“Father, I’m very happy to hear you say that, but… this whole thing was started by me, so…”
Chapter 301 Nezha Dies, Hearts Stealed from the Funeral Hall
Just as Li Jing was negotiating with the Dragon King, Nezha finished speaking and struck his own skull.
When Li Jing heard these words of farewell, he turned around and saw Nezha committing suicide.
"Zha...Zha'er".
An excited Li Jing rushed to Nezha's side.
Holding Nezha's lifeless body, she wept bitterly.
"How could you be so foolish? Father already said... he doesn't need you, why are you..."
While Li Jing was lost in sorrow, a servant behind him seemed to have become a different person, actually rapping somewhere.
"Good riddance, now it's my turn to pick up the scraps."
When Wenxuan saw Nezha commit suicide, he also revealed a wicked smile.
Seeing the full set of equipment that had been dropped on Nezha, Wenxuan's heart pounded.
While everyone else's attention was on Li Jing, Wenxuan, arm in arm with Madam Yin, came to Li Jing's side.
He then gently patted Li Jing's shoulder, who was crying his eyes out.
He offered a consolation, saying, "Brother Jing... the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since Zha'er is dead... then please accept my condolences."
While Wenxuan was offering words of comfort and expressing his regret, he was actually gently touching Nezha's equipment piece by piece.
The next moment, without anyone noticing, Nezha's Hun Tian Ling, Qian Kun Quan, Huo Jian Qiang, and Feng Huo Lun disappeared one by one.
"Husband...husband, Zha'er..."
Looking at the burly figure in Li Jing's arms, Madam Yin, though she trusted Wenxuan, still couldn't help but shed tears.
After all, they are her own flesh and blood.
“My lady… Nezha will not have died in vain.” Li Jing responded the moment Lady Yin called out to him.
Wiping away his tears, Li Jing looked at the Dragon King in the sky with bloodshot eyes.
"Senior sister... Now that Zha'er is dead, my Li family has repaid what we owed you."
"That is..." Glancing at the already dead Nezha, the Dragon King quietly left with his son Ao Bing in his arms.
Now that Li Jing is enraged, she won't provoke him. Although she could easily kill a group of mortals in Chentang Pass, doing so would also bring her boundless karma.
Since you've taken your revenge, then leave.
With the Dragon King and his troop of shrimp soldiers and crab generals gone, many people in Chentang Pass breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes, once again filled with gratitude as she looked at Li Jing, were completely different from before.
A nearby villager, wanting to comfort Li Jing, said, "General Li... Nezha's death was worthwhile. He didn't die in vain. He saved us all, and we will all remember him."
"roll……"
"I, Li Jing, owe you nothing."
Li Jing angrily rebuked the group of people whose expressions had changed, and glared fiercely at the person who had offered comfort.
He didn't say anything, he just looked at the other person.
Being stared at like that, the man felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hmph..." Li Jing didn't want to talk to the people anymore, so he picked up his son and left.
As Li Jing left, the crowd visibly dispersed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected... there are ungrateful people everywhere."
Watching the group of people leave, Wenxuan felt sorry for Li Jing.
They protected a bunch of ungrateful wretches.
"Husband, is Zha'er really not dead?" Hearing Wenxuan mutter to himself, Lady Yin, who had not left with Li Jing, also asked timidly.
"Don't worry... he won't die. Taiyi Zhenren will revive him."
After gently rubbing the heartbroken Madam Yin, Wenxuan looked at the vanished Dragon King.
"Um……"
Just as the entire Li family was holding a memorial service for Nezha, in the next room, Wenxuan was pressing Madam Yin against the wall and rubbing against her.
"Husband...please...please hurry up, I...I want to attend Nezha's funeral."
Madam Yin braced herself against the wall with both hands while looking at Wenxuan pleadingly.
She went back home and instructed the Li family to hang white banners... to prepare a solemn memorial service for Nezha.
But Wenxuan dragged her to the next room to do this kind of thing, even though they were only separated by a wall.
Across from her, Li Jing and his servants were kneeling and weeping, while she and Wenxuan made no attempt to hide their humiliation.
At first, Madam Yin would cover her lips to prevent the sound from being heard by the neighbors.
