"I didn't get to see her grow up or get married."
"I haven't even named her yet."
336. No stars or moonlight in sight, only a night of carnage.
He fought valiantly, his Korean general's armor soaked in blood, indistinguishable from the enemy's.
However, no matter how hard he fought, the enemies seemed endless.
His body was covered in bloody wounds and he was in excruciating pain, but Li Kai had only one belief in his heart—to fight his way out and survive.
"I am a general of South Korea, how can I fall in such a place!"
“They, mother and daughter, are still waiting for me; we are family.”
At the top of the cliff, Liu Yi proudly overlooked the battlefield, his face full of smugness.
"If she is attracted to your power, I will take it away from you."
If she is drawn to your tenderness, I will learn to be gentle with her.
"If she is infatuated with your looks, I will destroy your face and leave your body to rot in the wilderness."
Below the cliff, Li Kai stood alone, facing a swarm of enemies.
The spear pierced his chest, the sword sliced across his cheek, and hot blood splattered, staining his armor red.
The hero's body could no longer hold on and he slowly collapsed.
"I, Li Kai, have no regrets towards South Korea!"
"I feel guilty towards that mother and daughter!"
In a hazy state of consciousness, the heartwarming image of the family of three at sunrise resurfaced in my mind.
At this moment, the sun is setting and the sky is gradually darkening.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise."
"treasure!"
As dusk settles and twilight fades, the last golden rays of sunlight disappear, night falls, and a brand new night quietly begins.
However, the weather is not pleasant tonight.
Dark clouds blanketed the sky, like a thick black curtain shrouding the heavens and earth, swallowing up the light. The moon and stars were nowhere to be seen; the night sky was as black as ink, silent and oppressive.
Deep within the Fire Rain Manor, in an elegant room, the manor lord's eldest daughter cradled her inconsolably crying youngest daughter, trying her best to soothe her, but to little avail. The child's tears streamed down her face, her cries piercing the heart.
"Why is this girl so restless tonight? I just fed her, so it can't be because she's hungry."
"Could it be that you are not feeling well?"
Suspicion crept into the woman's mind. She quickly reached out and touched her daughter's forehead; her temperature was normal, and there was nothing wrong. She then unwrapped the baby to check, but the infant showed no signs of needing to urinate or defecate. Left with no other option, she could only hold her daughter tightly again, gently patting the outer quilt while softly humming an ancient Baiyue lullaby.
As her mother sang softly, the baby girl's cries gradually subsided until she drifted into a sweet dream.
"Finally asleep!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more at ease.
Holding her sleeping child in her arms, she looked out the window and saw only endless darkness, without a trace of stars or moonlight. The night was as deep as an abyss, cold and terrifying, sending chills down her spine.
Where is Li Lang now?
"With his troops stationed in the desolate wilderness, does he find the night too cold to bear? If it rains tonight, will he fall ill from the damp chill?"
May Heaven protect you and grant Li Lang all good things.
She held her daughter in her arms, silently praying for her beloved. The baby girl occasionally pouted in her sleep, her adorable expression making one wonder what she was dreaming about.
Her thoughts were racing, and the woman's mind became increasingly confused.
"When will you send a matchmaker to propose marriage, Mr. Li, upon your triumphant return?"
"On the day I get married, I will dress up beautifully and present my most beautiful self to my beloved."
Meanwhile, several miles away from Huoyu Manor, in a primeval forest, Deputy General Liu Yi gazed in the direction of the manor, his eyes flashing with greed and obsession.
"When the time is right, I will surely welcome you into my home."
"You can only be my woman!"
337. The Three Wolves Who Cut Their Hair?
"Now that I'm marrying you, you should prepare a generous dowry. How about you give me all the wealth and treasures of your father, Lord Huoyu Manor?"
Before long, three burly men dressed like bandits approached. They were none other than the notorious Three Wolves with Broken Hair, the infamous bandits of Baiyue. The Fire Rain Manor Lord was extremely wealthy, attracting many greedy and covetous eyes, and the Three Wolves with Broken Hair were just one of them.
A short, balding man with a conspicuous vulture-beak-shaped iron ornament on his nose stepped forward first and asked Liu Yi, who was hiding in the shade of a tree:
"General Liu, have the items we need been prepared?"
The other two were dressed in peculiar attire, a mix of non-mainstream and "kill-matt" styles, and their appearances were bizarre.
Liu Yi bowed slightly, gazing at the three wolves with severed hair, and said sincerely:
“Once this matter is accomplished, I will give you what you ask for with both hands. In addition, I am willing to share the wealth and treasures within Fire Rain Manor equally with the four of you, and I swear this oath to the death.”
Upon hearing this, the three wolves with cut hair exchanged glances and secretly nodded in agreement.
"In that case, let us swear an oath to the death."
Then, following the ancient customs of the Baiyue people, the four solemnly swore an oath to the death, forming an alliance. Once the oath was made, the three wolves with cut hair looked at Liu Yi with sudden warmth, and their mutual trust increased dramatically, as if they were longtime friends.
"General Liu, what brilliant plan do you have to deal with Fire Rain Manor?" a burly, middle-aged man dressed in a flamboyant style asked.
Liu Yi's lips curled slightly, his smile warm, but his words were completely opposite to his expression, revealing a sinister intent.
"I will dispatch a loyal and reliable elite force, disguised as mountain bandits, to surround Fire Rain Manor. No one will be able to escape."
“The three of you shall barge straight into the manor and slaughter them all.”
"But the two daughters of the Fire Rain Manor Lord and any infant girl among them must be spared."
One of the three wolves who cut their hair pressed for confirmation, and after receiving Liu Yi's affirmative answer, the three said no more and turned to leave.
"General Liu, please wait for good news."
Liu Yi watched the three wolves with severed hair disappear into the distance, the smile on his face gradually fading, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at their backs was as if he were looking at dead people.
"The Three Wolves Who Cut Off Their Hair? Hmph, in my opinion, they should be called the Three Fools Who Cut Off Their Hair."
“A death oath? I am not a Baiyue person, why should I abide by such a ridiculous thing? Three fools, if not for this, I would really have no use for them.”

"Fortunately, you guys are stupid enough, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to make a move."
Liu Yi remained silent for a moment in the shadows of the trees before quietly leaving.
Inside Fire Rain Manor, the three wolves with severed hair scaled the wall and entered. They exchanged glances, drew their weapons, and went their separate ways. Some killed anyone they saw, leaving no one alive, while others set fires everywhere, instantly turning the manor into chaos, with cries of agony filling the air.
....... .... ...
....... .... ...
"It's leaking! Someone come quickly!"
"Thieves have broken into the manor! Kill them!"
"You three wolves with severed hair, how dare you invade Fire Rain Manor! This is General Li Kai's place..."
Inside the magnificent and splendid boudoir of a woman.
Huo Yugong's eldest daughter sat alone by the window, resting her chin on her hand, her thoughts wandering as she envisioned a future where she would marry Brother Li and live a blissful life together.
But in an instant.
The once silent, inky night sky was suddenly illuminated by several points of fire, which then intensified.
The raging flames danced wildly, illuminating the dark night like the light of dawn, revealing the dramatic changes unfolding at that moment.
"Why is there such a commotion? Why are there such raging flames within the Immortal Abode?" Yi Yi asked.
338. The Mystery of the Destruction of Fire Rain Manor
Huo Yugong's eldest daughter came to her senses and gently pushed open the half-closed window to get a clearer view of the situation outside.
Just at this moment.
He was startled to see his father, Lord Huoyu, leading the people to resist a group of intruding evil men.
"It's the Three Wolves with Broken Hair?!" His gaze sharpened, and he was secretly shocked: "These three notorious villains have bounties all over the world, how could they show up here?"
"No!"
In his desperation, he cried out in a low voice.
"787"
Immediately, he covered his mouth with his hands, and two streams of hot tears slid down his cheeks.
