“”””Even a 70% chance is quite high!” Xie Ruoxi exclaimed frantically, “But if I don’t undergo the Crossing Tribulation, then I won’t die, right?”

“No, you will die,” Yan Yu said with a smile, “because you will be brought before a military tribunal and charged with desertion.”

“There are no military laws that require cultivators to undergo the tribulation!” Xie Ruoxi cried out in panic.

“That’s true,” Yan Yu nodded, “then let the Privy Council quickly enact a law about it.”

“Then I’ll just retire early!” Xie Ruoxi gave up completely, “I’m not being a cultivator anymore! The military laws can’t control me now, right?”

“Are you sure?” Yan Yu asked in surprise, “If you retire, all the benefits you currently have will be confiscated, you know?”

“I’m sure,” Xie Ruoxi said decisively, her eyes filled with resolution, “Even if I have to go back to Baoqing and farm, I refuse to die under the heavenly tribulation!”

“You won’t be able to farm,” Yan Yu shattered her determination with a single sentence, “In times of crisis, the military can enlist the help of civilians.”

Xie Ruoxi was deeply distressed, and she collapsed onto the bed, displaying an expression of utter despair as if life had lost all meaning.

“But don’t be so sad,” Yan Yu lay down beside her, looking at the ceiling, “I will undergo the tribulation before you do.”

Xie Ruoxi froze for a while, then suddenly reached out and embraced him.
