Volume One, Chapter 109: Kill That Woman

The mysterious man’s deputy leader, a burly figure wearing a fierce mask, noticed Lin Wanti’s weakened state and a ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes. Wielding a sharp blade, he directed the remaining members of the mysterious group to focus their attack on Lin Wanti.

Mo Fu had already devised a plan. If she could not defeat this man, she would retreat with the child into her own space to hide for a while. Above all else, preserving their lives was paramount.

At this moment, Jin Se felt even more that Emperor Qin was unfathomable. Though young, he was shrouded in a veil of mystery that made him impossible to read.

“Protection?” Mo Fu scoffed softly. Suddenly, the long sword in her hand burst into flames and roared towards the protector standing behind Qi Yueting.

Yun Xin held a peeled apple but did not eat it; instead, she stared blankly with her mouth agape.

At the very least, as long as Emperor Qin dared to come, she would never let him leave. In this Wangle Valley, one more grave would not be an issue.

Upon hearing this, Ma Buyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Emperor Qin no longer blamed him, he immediately felt that spending a great sum to purchase the spiritual medicine had been worthwhile.

“Aunt Yan!” Lou Guijing showed his displeasure. How could she dare to act against Yun Xi directly while he was present?

Su Yuanyuan was momentarily stunned, then glared at Lin Feng. How could she not understand Lin Feng’s meaning?

The entire hall of court officials were no fools. Even if they knew that Yun Yuyuan had exposed their inner plans, they still had to put on a smiling face.

Naturally, no one would help him without reason. After all, the succession struggle in the Eastern Yue Kingdom was intensifying, and Shang Yuelin simply would not have the time to assist in such a favor.

Cha Cha was extremely anxious, but he could not move at all. After several days of worry, he eventually fainted.

Was there still any need to test? Twenty thousand troops against Beiyan’s two hundred thousand—it was no illusion, but a solid reality, evidenced by the abundance of tents.

However, something was amiss. She had never suffered from menstrual pain before, and last month’s period had seemed to skip entirely. Today was not even the expected day.

Marquis Xiahou unconsciously clenched his fists. No matter what, Xia Xi still had him, and he would take good care of her.

Before he could act, a figure approached swiftly, looking down on him from above. Before he could react, a hand grasped his throat and lifted him up.

Mo Fantian walked to the bedside. Yue Miao suddenly awoke and raised her hand to wipe her mouth, realizing she had not drooled.

A demon beast must undergo many tribulations in its lifetime; this was its first. Since Yue Miao had not experienced this before, she intended to find a chance to ask Mo Fantian to take it away.

Straightening his slightly wrinkled official robe, pacing with measured steps, eyes full of deep meaning, he braved himself forward and exchanged formal pleasantries—perhaps he could turn decay into wonder, avert danger, and accomplish a great feat.

Guided by the summoning device’s wireless signal, detected early by the metal detector and shielded by the pulse jammer, Li Yu found the coordinate of the green dot without much effort.

“Father, I will repair the cabin as soon as possible. Please do not be too sorrowful. As long as we stand united, no hardship can break our spirit,” Du Gujian said, supporting his mother and speaking to his father.

“Xuan Xuan, you’re here? It’s been so long—I missed you terribly,” Jiayan said with a smile, holding Xuan Xuan in his arms.

“Besieged from both front and rear?” Ge Xin muttered the words repeatedly. After a moment, he suddenly understood. Perhaps Liu Rui’s thoughts were correct—he had been so focused on securing the Northern Territory that he had neglected the threat from the Xiongnu and the imperial forces in Hebei.

“I won’t go. I can’t let him see me like this. Why would he be here?” Liu Yun was horrified, desperately trying to flee but stumbled. Yao Xue nearly fell as well.
