"Tian Ying, from the moment you gave up the selection of the Holy Maiden, you lost your chance to get Lu Duling. You gave up power, and you also gave up a man, so what face do you have to mock me and curse me? Tian Ying, Tian Ying, I really feel sorry for you."

Having been insulted and unable to land a slap, Tian Ying was furious for a long time. She responded with a disdainful look to Yin Shun, and her tone became sharp and incisive:

"You...you are despicable, shameless, and vile. Hmph! Yin Shun, now that the Gu King and Gu Queen are gone, you are just a Holy Maiden, not the Miao Queen. You've got a pretty good plan, but unfortunately, the situation in Miao Jiang is no longer what it used to be. Your grand dream will be shattered sooner or later. If Miao Jiang doesn't even have Gu anymore, how can you still become the most powerful Miao Queen?"

"The Gu King and Gu Queen will be found, Tian Ying. Don't exaggerate. There's a saying that goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Actually, I do have a good eye for your talent for raising dogs. How about this: you join me, and once I'm in power, he'll be your property. What do you think of my suggestion?"

Yin Shun has always been rational and decisive in her actions. When others insult her, she usually listens to what they have to say before casually provoking them. As for Tian Ying's insults now, they are as easy for her as tickling an itch.

What she valued was Tian Ying's ability to raise Gu poison; otherwise, she wouldn't have provoked her time and time again.

As for Lu Duling, he's someone who doesn't know how to raise Gu poison. This saintess wouldn't even bother to give him a glance, let alone let him climb into her bed. She only said those things to provoke Tian Ying.

"No matter what, Yin Shun, in your eyes there is only power and endless desire. Yin Shun, you are a cold-blooded and ruthless devil. How could you understand the warmth of this world, let alone my love with Lu Duling? I will not become Lu Duling in order to possess him. He does not love me, so I will not marry him. I would rather be an old maid in Miao Jiang."

Tian Ying glared at Yin Shun hatefully, raised her head arrogantly, and looked at him with disdain.

"Ha! Do you think you can just not get married? Tian Ying, don't forget, you already have that Zhu family man you're engaged to. If it weren't for the Miao King's accident, your wedding would be next month. What are you strutting around for? What's the use of just talking to me? If you're so capable, go and break off the engagement. I'll be waiting for your show."

Seeing how stubborn this woman was, Yin Shun scrutinized and mocked her with his gaze, and finally provoked her with the most intense tone. Since this woman was unwilling to be his dog, it wouldn't hurt to destroy her.

"Go if you want, I'm not going to marry Zhu Changqing anyway. Yin Shun, don't look down on me like that. How could a woman like you, whose mind is only filled with power, understand the beauty of love? You'll only spend your life scheming and scheming even more. I hope you'll be a master strategist for the rest of your life."

After arguing with Yin Shun, Tian Ying's confused mind suddenly cleared. She decided to go to the Zhu family to break off the engagement and reclaim her freedom. Regardless of whether Lu Duling had her or would accept her, she would keep her body intact and wait for him until the end of time.

If Lu Duling doesn't respond, she will never marry and will hold onto this love.

"Then go ahead, this saintess is waiting to see the show."

Yin Shun's small eyes crinkled into a wide, unrestrained smile, revealing his eagerness to watch the show.

Provoked by Yin Shun's words, Tian Ying felt an even stronger burning desire in her heart. She needed to regain her freedom, and even if the Zhu family was a den of dragons and tigers, she was determined to break into it today.

"Alright, I, Tian Ying, will show the entire Miao region my determination today."

"We'll see."

Yin Shun looked at Tian Ying with an ambiguous smile, signaling her to hurry up.

Tian Ying glared at her resentfully, then turned and headed towards the Second Elder's house.

Cen Xi originally didn't want to come to the Miao Frontier Inn, but there were some things she had to say. She needed to discuss them with Shen Jinchen and Jun Jianchou before deciding what to do next.

"You mean, you felt a pang of fear when you saw the Miao King, just like when you saw Yan Shengxiao?"

After listening to his account, Shen Jinchen couldn't help but ask.

Cen Xi nodded heavily, suppressing the strong disgust in her heart, and dared not look at Shen Jinchen.

Yesterday I wrote a letter saying I wanted to separate from him for a while, but because of that banquet for Emperor Taizu, the three of them had to meet again.

"Jun Jianchou, what do you think of this matter? How about we go to the palace tomorrow and perform a soul-driving technique to force that Yan Taizu out?"

Shen Jinchen glanced at Cen Xi, then turned his attention to Jun Jianchou. He knew that Cen Xi was already trying her best to endure, so she didn't dare to talk to Cen Xi much.

"It's impossible now. Perhaps I've already guessed what Yan Taizu was planning against us. Perhaps the disappearance of the Love Return Gu, the Gu King, and the Gu Queen in Shen Qinghua's possession was already part of their plan."

“Yesterday, when I was rescuing him, I found that the Miao King’s soul was unstable, so I used the Soul-Stabilizing Technique to stabilize his soul. At that time, I noticed that there were two opposing souls devouring each other. I thought this was a special cultivation method of the Miao King of Miao territory. Now it seems that I have unintentionally helped this bandit.”

Jun Jianchou slammed his fist on the table, glanced at Shen Jinchen and Cen Xi with some resentment, and sighed helplessly.

"You mean he and the Miao King have merged into one, and the current Miao King is both the former Miao King and Yan Taizu Yan Shengxiao?"

Shen Jinchen was surprised for a moment, then opened his mouth and asked.

"Well, I guess Yan Shengxiao still has the upper hand. He knows a lot of forbidden soul techniques. Perhaps he planned all of this before he even entered Miao territory."

Based on the current situation, Jun Jianchou made a bold guess.

"That scoundrel! Is Jun Jianchou still of any use to me? Can I make him leave his body again?"

Cen Xi felt a surge of anger as she thought about this seemingly indestructible cockroach, but ultimately there was nothing she could do.

He's quite a formidable opponent. Even in such an unfavorable situation, he managed to turn defeat into victory and manipulate them at will. I underestimated him before.

"It was possible before yesterday, but unfortunately I unintentionally helped him. After the Miao King wakes up, he will be indestructible, immortal and possibly extremely powerful."

Jun Jianchou was speechless about this. He felt a lump in his throat and didn't know how to vent his anger. He had never been schemed against like this before in this world.

“Then we can’t let the Miao King wake up. Jun Jianchou, do you have any ideas? I am proficient in formations, but I don’t really know much about this kind of unorthodox method. Now we can only rely on you. Yan Shengxiao has great ambitions. If he wakes up, the Great Yan, and even the entire Miao region, will be devastated.”

Shen Jinchen's brows furrowed, and there was a hint of regret in his voice. Had he been too successful all these years? Had he underestimated this menace?

"I'll try tomorrow, but I suspect it will be difficult."

Jun Jianchou glanced at Shen Jinchen and said sincerely.

"What about me? My master and grandmaster both said that I am this person's nemesis. What should I do to crush him?"

Cen Xi stared longingly at Jun Jianchou.
