The Geared Immortal

Chapter 658 - The Legacy Of Shin Jiao



Chapter 658

(Unedited)

In the busy streets of Shin City, many people are currently walking to and fro. Some are wearing an office uniform just like the one on earth, while others are wearing a cultivator\'s robe. This mixture of modern and ancient fashion makes everything seem to be an amalgamation of both and the past and the future.

In this bustling street, a person is currently walking while looking all over the place. A satisfied look on his face could be seen as he admired and marveled at the scene in front of him.

Shin Jiao was able to enter the protective barrier of the city easily. With just one scan of his absolute sense, he could already identify how to enter the place. He even thought of changing the protective array of the city to make it safer for all the people living there.

While walking around, he suddenly arrives in a small stall where many printed newspapers and magazines could be seen. Suddenly, his attention caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

That face that really resembles Susan Tang made Shin Jiao remember that night before the great demon war. It was the night that he and Qin Lou spend a passionate night together. Right now he is tempted to repay her back for those times, but he could not reverse the hands of time. She has already moved on and is now an empress.

Shin Jiao also saw another woman for whom he has some feelings from before, Cherry Lao.

Cherry Lao is also an empress with an equal title to Qin Lou. He didn\'t know why Li Yan Xi did this, but he knew that the 2nd prince would not do anything stupid. He always does something with a purpose. It could also be said the two of them could be considered as brothers due to the gold and black dragons inside their bodies.

Talking about the black dragon, Shin Jiao noticed that it\'s been a while since it last has woken up. He could feel that it is lazy and just like to slumber inside his dantian.

After roaming around in satisfaction, Shin Jiao suddenly spreads his absolute sense which almost covered the whole city. Then suddenly his expression froze. This is because he saw a young woman whom he felt a little guilty about, Qian Li.

Though he knew that she was the cause why Susan Tang was taken and was almost killed, he still could not forget that this girl truly loves him. There are even times when the two of them shared an intimate time together.

However, it seems that fate is cruel between them and this drove the silver-haired young woman mad. Shin Jiao also saw another person and he suddenly disappears from the place he was standing just now.

Inside a prison cell where many who has violated the rules of the city are being kept, a silver hair young woman is currently sitting at the side of the bed.

Her expression is tranquil and her beautiful now mature face is looking at the small window where she could see the sky above.

She didn\'t know how many times she thought about her past action and her mistakes, but no matter how hard she tries to forgive herself for inflicting those tragedies on the man she loves she still could not forgive herself.

So every day, she would stare at the window outside and think of the things that had happened.

"Forgive me… I just want your forgiveness… I… I never really wanted to hurt you. I was foolish, I was prideful, I was jealous, and because of that, I lost you and your trust… I hope that when I see you again… We could go back to being... friends." She muttered the usual words she would say every day before going on her daily routines inside the prison.

She suddenly heard some footsteps coming towards her cell. She immediately knew who those footsteps belong to. They were her partners before, and her comrades.

"Sister Qian… How are you?" Serpent was the first one to greet as she suddenly opens the cell and enters it.

As if Qian Li was not in prison, the rest of the members of the original Shadow Squad enter without a worry.

In fact, they all knew what really happened.

The old hermit told them of the dark plans of the shadow being. But Qian Li insisted on being inside the prison. Her guilt did not let her feel assured that she is still worthy of their friendship and love.

However, those four would always come inside her cell and spend a day with her.

Seeing the four ladies who have face many life and death adventure and misadventure with her as they build the city, Qian Li just showed a bitter smile.

"Hey, do you know that Qin Lou is visiting next week… She will be with prince Ju-long Jiao." Qilin said as she takes her seat beside Qian Li before hugging her.

The rest of the gang followed suit as they all said that they missed Qian Li so much.

Suddenly, Vermillion Bird pouted and said with a grumbling tone.

"It has almost been seven months since you\'ve been in this place. The queen has already forgiven you, even Sister Susan said that it was not your fault, why are you still too stubborn in staying in this place?"

"Yeah, we are not complete without you… plus the main army is not the same without their general."

"Are you really going to stay in here until he returns?" suddenly Phoenix asked with concern.

Qian Li just nodded her head while looking at the ground. Although her friend\'s words truly made her feel happy, yet her conscience is still eating her. If Shin Jiao is really gone, then she would rather rot inside the jail. She could not accept it. She will not forgive herself for harming him.

"Sigh, at least you should go out and visit Sister Susan… her stomach is already very big. Two months from now, another part of our master will be appearing in this world… I can\'t wait… Hihihi…" Serpent said happily.

The five of them began chatting together making Qian Li feel less stressed and once again her feelings towards her friends became a bit conflicted.

She is already used to this scene. At first, she could not bear to look at the four for what she did and how she attacked them at that time. But now, as they have already forgiven her, she feels a bit fine.

The happy atmosphere inside the room made even the guards standing not too far outside took secret glances towards the direction of the only cell in this special prison.

Seeing their generals, commanders, and idols acting like young girls while chatting, made them feel warm inside. Although most of the time, the five are very strict in training the troops, they also have their gentle side when they are together. Hence the guards feel at ease. Plus they already received the command that the one inside this special prison is actually not a prisoner.

She just wanted to punish herself.

5:00 pm Prison building of Shin City…

Outside of the prison building, Shin Jiao stood in front of the thick steel gate.

A soldier immediately approached him.

"Who are you?" the soldier said with a stern face.

Shin Jiao just gave him a smile then said.

"My name is Shin Jiao… I\'m here to visit a friend."

The guard was a bit taken aback as he seems to remember someone with that name. But then he just shook his head and then took out a tablet.

"Please put your thumb in here for identification." He said as he handed the tablet to Shin Jiao.

When he took the tablet back, the soldier suddenly showed a dumbfounded look on his face. Then suddenly as if struck by lightning, he immediately kneeled to one knee.

"City Lo…" before he could finish his words, Shin Jiao suddenly froze him.

He then assisted the guard to stand up. Then Shin Jiao put his finger on his lips with a sign to keep the man from exposing his identity. Shin Jiao did not want to make his presence known to the city, or even to the military for that matter.

He could even remember the reaction of Susan Tang when he appears in front of her. With tears in her eyes and a bulging stomach, she hugs him tightly and cried for a very long time.

It took him a long time to pacify the woman as they just cuddle together and feel each other\'s warmth. The two talked and suddenly when Susan Tang remembers Qian Li, she immediately urges Shin Jiao to visit the prison.

She knew that Qian Li was one of Shin Jiao\'s friends and was just influenced by the darkness because of Qian Li\'s special feelings for him. Gentle and kind as she is, she could not bear a grudge against the woman and decided to let Shin Jiao fix this problem.

Well, from her words, Shin Jiao could feel that she is partly blaming him for this incident. And with her urging, he decided to visit Qian Li in prison.

Shin Jiao enters the prison with a guide from the male prison guard.

Soon the two reached the special prison and could even hear the laughing and non-stop chatting of five familiar voices.

When Shin Jiao saw this scene a smile crept on his handsome face. The two female soldiers on the side showed confusion on their faces. This is because they didn\'t know who Shin Jiao is.

After Shin Jiao walked towards the five women, one of the female prison guards asked.

"Who is he?"

"Hehe… You won\'t believe me if I tell you."

"Don\'t be too mysterious… if he the husband of one of the commanders?"

"Nope… in fact, he is something… I would say very important in the city."

The two female guards suddenly thought deeply. Then suddenly realization dawned upon their faces.

"Ah… Nope… We still don\'t know who he is…"

The male prison guard facepalmed upon hearing their reply.

"Shin Jiao… Shin City…" he said while trying to give them a hint.

Upon hearing the name, the two female guards almost fell from their seats. Who would have expected that they would see the very person who is responsible for founding the city, the very person who gave hope to the mortal, and gave rise to the mages in the cultivation land? The true city lord, Shin Jiao.

When they look at that figure they also saw the reaction of the five women inside the cell.. Upon seeing that scene the three guards were now thoroughly dumbfounded.
