Empress Of The Lost Kingdom

"Bai Yu Yue, the pride of Yu clan"

Yang Gongren stared with his eyes wide in incredulous disbelief at the slender figure sat alone in the pile of the dead bodies. She held the corpse of the warrior who stood with her even during his last moments. 

This woman was Bai Yu Yue, the princess who was supposed to be betrothed to the emperor instead of the queen Bai Ling Yue.

He clearly remembered the words of the Yu clan envoy who came with the proposal. 

"Bai Yu Yue, the second in the line of Jade throne, the pride of Yu clan." The princess who demanded to get married according to the sacred laws of the Yu clan.

Even Yang Gongren himself advised his cousin to accept the woman who is the commander in general of Jade land army, as the lawfully wedded wife of the Emperor, bestowing her with the title of the Empress of the mighty Wei Empire.

"Majesty, she is Bai Yu Yue, the princess, not the queen." Yang Gongren tried to hide his flustered face and informed Wei Lang, the alternate ego of his beloved cousin in a startled voice. 

Wei Sheng stared at the woman who remained frozen, instead of breaking down into tears and wailing on the loss of her loved ones.

All these time, Wei Sheng and his soldiers believed that the woman who bravely led the army was the Queen. Who would believe that it was actually a princess who confronted the mightiest army in the mainland?

Wei Sheng couldn't help but agree that the princess was a marvellous commander.

Her ice-cold face perfectly hid every single strike she used against the army who claimed their superiority in the war front.

Did he really fell into her petty little traps and lose half of his soldiers?

"Where is your sister, little princess?" Wei Sheng asked her in elated tone, bewilderment rippling in his amber eyes.

Hearing their Emperor address the woman as "Little princess," the remaining Wei soldiers gaped in shock.

The one who led the battle against them was the princess, not the queen? Does that mean the battle is not over?

Such a misery!!!

Wei army was considered as the mightiest army in the mainland who have never tasted failure. They have followed their emperor on the pursuit of the unification of mainland and wherever they go, rulers and dynasties submit themselves in fear of someone who is superior.

But the tiny kingdom which remained hidden beyond the mountains was different from others. They refused to submit to the tyranny of Wei empire and decided to fight for their lives. 

Within these two days, the Wei army somehow managed to survive the attack from a bunch of people which they didn't care to call as an army in the beginning. 

"If the princess was this fierce then what about the valour of the Queen?" The remaining army men's face covered in cold sweats.

"I thought you came for the land," Bai Yu Yue carefully placed Zhang Yi Jun's body on to the ground and raised her gaze as sharp as a knife, at the man. 

"Where is the queen?"Wei Sheng repeated his question with a tinge of annoyance. It was said that the moonstone is always with the Queen. That's why he left her unharmed. 

"Queen is the protector of this land. Where will she go? She is still here." Bai Yu Yue replied in a casual tone as if she was not affected by the tragedy that happened to her army or not scared about the ill-fate waiting for her.

The way Bai Yu Yue behaved was so casual and relaxed that her attitude had gotten Wei Sheng triggered.

"Finish her," Wei Sheng bellowed, "there is no need to keep her alive."

Upon hearing his command a group of warriors headed towards Bai Yu Yue, wielding their swords.

Like a cackle of hungry hyenas approaching a wounded beast, to eat it alive, a group of warriors approached the woman who sat on the ground.

"Didn't your master teach you morals, warriors?" The pair of Bai Yu Yue's eyes narrowed with the coldness as her black orbs appeared denser, "It is terribly wrong to fight one against ten, don't you know?"

The warriors exchanged looks between them and looked at their emperor in confusion.

Did she hit her head somewhere? Why is she spewing this non-sense when she was on the brink of death?

Once they saw their emperor's indifferent expression, the soldiers charged towards her.

"Stop."

The warriors halted their steps all at once. 

Now what? Is she going to teach war ethics? 

Bai Yu Yue grabbed her sword and pointed at Wei Sheng who remained uninterested in her,

"You,"

Under that nerve chilling command, Wei Sheng subconsciously lifted his brows in a frown,

"Do you dare to fight one-on-one with me? 

The cold and clear eyes of Bai Yu Yue glared at the arrogant face of Wei Sheng as she spat the words one by one.

Once Bai Yu Yue spoke, her words have blown everyone's minds who present there.

Is she insane? Challenging the devil himself?

Their emperor was the strongest warrior they have ever seen. He ranked at the first place in the list of top warriors in the entire mainland. Like his split personalities, his attacking styles also contrasted, making his moves unpredictable in the battlefield.

Wei Sheng disliked staining his hands with blood, so he killed people without spilling a single drop of blood. It was a rare ability which he mastered when he was a student of Fire sect.

But His alternate ego, Wei Lang was even more vicious, he never care about the rules of the duel- he just enjoys murdering people and painting his hands with blood. 

"Why not?" Wei Sheng's lips curled into a devilish smile sending his army into horror.

That devilish smile was the signal which shows that he is going to enter into the monster mode.

"Since you are asking for it, I will be glad to send you to depths of hells." 

"Without armour!" Bai Yu Yue proposed and raised on her feet with an odd calm and composure.

"Sure." Wei Sheng said casually and began to remove his heavy iron-clad armour.

"Winner takes all!" Her chilly voice rang again.

The audacity of this woman!!!

"This girl, how old is she?" one of the army men suddenly asked, "Where did she get such guts to openly challenge majesty? Did she really don't want to live anymore?"

The soldiers who insist on fighting without armour belongs to two categories- one, those who are overconfident with their skills.

Second- those who are prudent and care for nothing.

No one had a doubt that the princess was aiming for the second.

Bai Yu Yue got rid of her silver armour which is now changed into a red with blood and looked at them with her famous expressionless poker face.

But the moment Bai Yu Yue freed herself from the heavy armour, the men surrounded her gawped in astonishment.

What a peerless beauty! 

Thousand men army and even Wei Sheng looked at her without batting an eyelid. 

Adorned in a white robe, she appeared like an embodiment of Goddess of beauty.

The warm orange hues of the setting sun have augmented her ravishing countenance.

On her attractive lips, a faint haughty smile hung like an adornment. The big black eyes were appeared colder with a murderous glare yet alluring, exemplifying her as the beauty that can burn the nations and ruin the cities within one look. 

Wei Sheng felt a tug in his heart. He had numerous consorts and concubines but none of them is a match for the beauty standing in front of him.

"The winner takes everything. Does it include you and your sister?" The end of Wei Sheng's thin lips curled up into a lascivious smile. 

There is no way, he is going to kill this ice queen that easily. His arms craved to break her frosty facade and trap her under his burning body.

Bai Yu Yue stood without any fear, waiting for him to begin.

On the crown of her head, she wore a Jade amulet with five coloured gems and a phoenix,

The white robe on her slender body was embroidered with a phoenix rising from the flames. 

The phoenix- the symbol of Queen,

You!!! You are the Queen, Yang Gongren was the one who recognized the woman stood in front of them.

What witchcraft is this? He heard the man call her Bai Yu Yue.

As per his knowledge, Bai Yu Yue was the younger sister of the Jade land queen whose alliance was proposed with Wei Emperor, the princess. But she was wearing the phoenix robe and amulets which represents the matriarch of the kingdom.

I, Bai Yu Yue, 99th of the royal bloodline, the mother of Yu clan and ruler of Jade land challenge you, for a dual." Bai Yu Yue swiftly waved her sword.

"Bai Yu Yue, the queen of Yu kingdom." Wei Sheng walked towards with steady steps. "So finally we met,"

The duel between two sovereign heads was on the verge of occurring,

The army men from the Wei emperor was only worried about the woman who face going to face her end within few minutes.

A cold wind passed over the battlefield fluttering the tips of robes of two silhouettes standing face to face- Both beautiful, but their aura was different.

If Wei Sheng's demeanour was like a boiling volcano waiting to erupt, fierce and raging,

Bai Yu Yue's coldness was like a bottomless wintry lake, calm and composed but obvious alienation

What happens when Fire and Ice clashes?

In a glimpse of a moment, a hush sound along with continuous clanking sound of steel swords echoed across the battlefield.

Those who blinked their eyes definitely missed the moment. There were only a few people who actually saw how quick were those two warriors.

They were like two rays of light colliding staggeringly with each other.

Each time they collided the clanking sound of the swords sent chills to the people present there, 

The moment the duel picked up the momentum, the dust around the two warriors went flying and partially blinding the onlookers from what is actually happening over there.

In the chaotic battlefield, Wei Sheng and Bai Yu Yue were constantly fighting with valour, presenting each other equal amount of strikes. 

Within a short duration of time, a hundred strokes were passed, yet there was no clear winner,

Yang Gongren and thousands of Wei soldiers didn't expect that there will be a day in their lives, that they will encounter a warrior who will fight equally with their devilish emperor, who was the uncrowned martial god.

What was even more unbelievable? His opponent was a woman.

All they knew was the gentle mild-mannered woman who couldn't even properly wield a sword.

If they haven't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that such a remarkable and imposing woman existed on this land.

Yang Gongren was the one who appeared stunned the most, 

The moment he saw Bai Yu Yue's domineering aura which led the army he realized that she was not a normal woman. But when she started fighting with Wei Sheng, he was astonished by her skills. 

She was simply not a human, but a demoness.
