Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Chapter 20: Ice Pole, Mother-in-law

"Sir Su, the Queen has heard of your heroic deeds and is inviting you to come."

A royal guard came up to Su Li and saluted respectfully.

"it is good."

Su Li responded and touched Mu Chen.

"Let's go together."

Mu Chen looked at Su Li in surprise, pointed at himself and said, "Me? I guess not."

Su had made great contributions in escorting the little princess, so it was natural for him to be called over and praised. However, he had done nothing himself, so it was not appropriate for him to seek credit.

"Su Li smiled and said, "I think you should talk about the demon god."

Mu Chen then remembered the purpose of his visit and nodded, "Okay."

The imperial guards brought the two to the largest tent in the stronghold. They first stood at attention in front of the tent door and saluted, then knelt on one knee.

"King, the benefactor has been brought here."

"Hurry up and bring someone in. There's no need to be so polite at this time."

Mu Mu was talking in the tent. Hotpot opened the tent curtain and laughed, "Come on, little brother. There's a surprise waiting for you!"

Su Li brought Muchen into the tent together.

Sitting opposite him was a woman smiling at Su Lici.

She was wearing a cool and noble ice gauze dress, and her tall and slender figure showed off her beautiful face.

Next to her, there were two equally lusty girls sitting.

As soon as he entered, Su Li felt an extreme cold approaching. He and Muchen shuddered at the same time, and their body temperatures dropped rapidly.

Su Li immediately used the power of the wind element to form a weak wind field around the two of them to disperse the chill.

"Oh, this is the benefactor my daughter mentioned."

The woman waved her hand gently, and a wave of ice instantly spread towards Su Li and Muchen, forming two ice-sculpture-like chairs behind them.

"I am the descendant of Xingji, and also the lord of the imperial court - Bingji."

Muchen was shocked as soon as she entered the tent. In addition to feeling endless pressure, she also felt extreme cold that tortured her body and mind from time to time.

"Um...should we sit down?"

Mu Chen asked Su Li quietly, turned around and looked at the ice chair that was emitting cold air. She didn't know what to do.

Su Li walked up and asked, "Sir Su Li, I am a foreigner who has just come to Xing Ji."

Muchen also sat down helplessly, feeling the chill coming from his buttocks and shivering all over.

"This is Mu Chen, my friend."

Su Li glanced at Muchen and introduced him while holding back her smile.

Before Bingji could speak, some nobles sitting on both sides of the seat were eager to protest.

"Queen, I object to your marrying the little princess to this foreigner!"

"I object too. What right does a foreigner have to associate with our royal family?"

"Queen, please think twice and don't ruin the little princess's future..."

Bingji's expression seemed to change subtly, but she still kept smiling.

"Elders, do you want to deny my arrangement for the little princess?"

The extreme cold swept through the entire tent in an instant, and everyone felt a chill down their spines, as if the cold was invading their entire bodies.

"Mother, please don't be angry. They are short-sighted and don't understand the overall situation."

Mu Mu stuck to Bing Ji and spoke in a coquettish manner.

"Tell me about it."

The extreme cold receded slightly, and Bingji's mood seemed to be better.

"Queen, the little princess is God's chosen child, and must not be defiled by others."

"Queen, the little princess should not be handed over to a stranger of unknown origin. No one except you can protect her."

"Big Princess, you are the one who doesn't understand the current situation. Are you really willing to give the little princess to someone else?"

Mu Mu rolled his eyes at them with disdain.

"It's a thousand times better than giving it to you guys!"

"Luochen, do you have any objection to my decision?"

Bingji ignored everyone and turned to ask Luochen, who had been keeping his head down and not speaking.

"No……"

Hearing Luo Chen's answer, Bingji touched his head, turned around and looked at the elders coldly.

"I respect my daughter's choice, and I don't want to hear any objections from you anymore."

"Don't forget, no one below King Mu has the right to reject my choice."

"Queen, you are confused!"

An elder suddenly stood up, drew his sword and pointed it at Su Li.

"The little princess was only following your orders. She didn't do it willingly. Let me use my life to make you realize your mistake!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his sword and rushed towards Su Li.

Muchen was also suddenly startled. He jumped up from his seat in panic and hid behind Su Li.

"madness!"

Bing Ji roared angrily, and the entire tent instantly turned into an ice tent. An ice mark quickly spread from the ground and instantly turned into countless ice crystals that imprisoned the elder.

The other elders were also shocked and immediately knelt on one knee, saying in unison: "Queen, please calm down."

Bing Ji looked at the elders coldly, stretched out one hand forward, and an ice wheel took shape in front of him.

"You think the little princess's benefactor is unworthy? Ridiculous!"

The ice wheel rotated, and countless ice spikes condensed in an instant. In just a moment, they shot out and shot towards Su Li.

Su Li immediately stood up and locked onto all the attacking ice spikes. The power of the abyss spread, and countless sword shadows appeared and rushed towards those ice spikes.

Bingji retracted the ice wheel, looked at Su Li who was unharmed, and nodded in appreciation.

"Now, if anyone has any objections, you can try to take my move."

The elders just knelt on one knee, and no one dared to speak.

They knew better than anyone what would happen if they angered the queen, and they knew how to cherish their lives better than anyone else.

Su Li had no words to grievance either. She was shot even though she didn't provoke anyone. Bing Ji also attacked her without a word. If she didn't have some strength, she would have died long ago.

Muchen was already scared silly, she had never encountered such a Shura field before. She had already escaped death in front of the devil, and if it happened again now, she would not be able to bear it.

"Su, Suli...shouldn't we have come..."

Su Li whispered back: "Don't worry, the queen won't make things difficult for us."

Bingji calmed down, sat back in his seat, and smiled again.

"Luochen, do you want to get married?"

"I……"

Luo Chen glanced at Su Li and his face turned slightly red.

"I just want to marry Brother Su Li."

"Queen, please think twice! The little princess is not yet mature, she must have been deceived by him!"

The imprisoned elder still refused to give up and fell to his knees begging.

"Anyone who disobeys my king's order three times shall be executed!"

A royal guard stepped forward, holding the blade to the elder's neck.

In Xingji, all the imperial guards only obey the orders of Bingji.

Bingji's status in the hearts of the imperial guards is comparable to that of the gods of Xingji. If Bingji wants to launch a coup, they will definitely choose to follow him without hesitation.

"The end is near. I hope the elders will understand the situation and not ruin their future and then lose their lives."

Bingji waved his hand, the ice dissipated, and the imperial guards dragged the elder out of the tent.

Even until he was dragged away, the elder kept shouting without giving up.

"If family disgrace is made public, it will be a shame."

Bingji smiled at Su Li, and then ordered someone to bring an ordinary chair and place it behind Muchen.

"Thank you, Queen!"

Mu Chen could finally no longer endure the cold and looked towards Bing Ji with gratitude.

She seemed to have forgotten that the one who had just displayed absolute dominance and shocked the entire audience was this beautiful and kind-looking woman.

"Since no one has any objections now..."

Bing glanced at the elders impatiently, making them break out in cold sweats.

Bingji ignored them and continued, "I think you understand the purpose of inviting you this time, Suli."

Su Li responded: "I already understand."

"Then let me ask you, do you accept it?"

"Thank you for your kindness. I am very grateful."

Hearing Su Li's answer, Bing Ji nodded with satisfaction.

"Then from now on, everything about Luochen will be left to you to take care of."

She stood up, took Luo Chen's hand, and slowly walked towards Su Li.

Muchen was still confused just now, but now he understood what Bingji meant.

She immediately poked Su Li beside her and whispered, "Boss, don't just stand there, salute quickly."

Su Li finally reacted, knelt on one knee and raised her right hand.

Bingji brought Luochen to Suli and slowly placed Luochen's small hand in Suli's palm.

"Are you willing to protect her with your life?"

Su Li looked up at Luo Chen, who blushed and bit his lips lightly.

"I am willing."

"I hope you can keep your oath and not let Luochen down."

Bingji turned around and returned to his seat. The little princess was still in front of Su Li, so she no longer needed to go back to her mother.

Luo Chen completed the process under everyone's attention. Now they could only swallow their anger and had nothing to say.

"If you dare to make Luochen sad, I won't forgive you, Su Li."

"do not worry……"

Su Li didn't know whether to call her mother-in-law or queen. After all, he really didn't expect this situation to happen so soon.

From the time I came into this world till now, everything has gone by so fast.

Almost everything happened without giving Su Li enough time to prepare.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's disband."

Hearing this, the elders retreated in an orderly manner, and Mu Mu also left the tent with the hot pot.

"Stay, I have something else to tell you."

Hearing this, Su Li, who was about to leave, was stunned and had to turn around and wait.

At Bingji's signal, Luo Chen took Muchen out of the tent. At this time, only Su Li and Bingji were left in the tent.

"Shu Li, the end is approaching, and Xing Ji's difficulties are inevitable."

She slowly walked towards Su Li and asked, "If you were asked to choose between my daughter and the survival of the country, what would you choose?"

Su Li was silent. Xingji was now in dire straits. No matter how hard Su Li tried, she could not save the people who had been harmed.

The first thing we can do is to protect the people around us.

"I will do whatever it takes to protect the ones I love."

When Bingji heard Suli's answer, he didn't stop and walked out of the tent.

"I hope you can keep your word."

Su Li sighed. It seemed that she understood Xingji's situation better than anyone else. All she could do now was to try her best to protect her loved ones.

But why does she trust herself so much...

This was the only thing that Su Li couldn't understand. She turned around and looked at Bingji's departing back.

"If she knew my origins..."
