Qin Su looked at Mo Lan and knew in her heart that this was already her bottom line.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be a good king... just don't forget to come back."

Mo Lan: "..."

She had said everything she should and shouldn't have said. Facing Qin Su's gaze, she didn't know how to respond, so she simply kept quiet.

An hour later, Qin Su boarded the carriage, and the group sped away.

Mo Lan rested her chin on her hand until she could no longer see him, then turned her head and closed her eyes.

She wasn't unmoved, nor was she cold-hearted; it was precisely because she saw things clearly that she had no choice but to act this way.

Qin Su may truly love herself, but she can't be devoted to him. Even if she's being dramatic, she'd rather not have a relationship that isn't exclusive.

She couldn't blame Qin Su either; he was a native and didn't have the concept of a lifelong, monogamous relationship, but she couldn't numb herself to that notion.

Therefore, even if the two of them were to force themselves to be together, many troubles would arise. She was really afraid that she would lose control of her temper and massacre Qin Su's harem.

Rather than becoming an unhappy couple, it's better to forget each other and go our separate ways!

"Boss, what's your plan next?"

Han Shuang watched her boss's dejected figure and silently walked forward. She seemed to vaguely see the sadness in her boss's heart.

"Let's go back first." After Qin Su's outburst, Mo Lan's mental state was now fully alerted.

Given Qin Su's unpredictable and gloomy nature, if he were to suddenly change his mind one day and actually send troops to attack the Northeast City, Song Jian and a few others who were stationed there might not be able to withstand it.

Just in case, she needed to have a backup plan, something that could intimidate the world.

Back in the city, Mo Lan got to work. She took Song Jian and Han Shuang with her and dispatched a team of trusted confidants. After a month of planning, the project was finally completed.

"Keep this button safe and don't activate it unless absolutely necessary."

Mo Lan handed Song Jian a black box with a red button on it. After Mo Lan adjusted it, the button flashed a few times and then went silent.

"Boss, can this really control those things outside?" Song Jian took it with both hands, carefully, afraid of accidentally touching it.

"Just be careful, but don't be too afraid. This is the last line of defense I'm leaving you, mainly to guard against a large army pressing in! Northeast City wasn't easy for us to build, so we have to defend it well."

From inside the city to outside, within a radius of five miles, she had set up traps and secret passages. Once someone plotted against the northeast city, activating this button would trigger a chain reaction, detonating the explosives buried outside. No matter how many troops came, they would only be sent to their deaths.

To this end, she used a special process to protect it, ensuring it would not decay for a century.

Regarding the defense, Mo Lan reiterated it to Song Jian and Han Shuang to prepare them mentally.

The two men's eyes reddened as they listened to their leader's arrangements. It was all because they were so useless that their leader was so worried.

"Boss, don't worry, we will defend Northeast City to the death. As long as we are here, the city will stand!" Song Jian puffed out his chest, his eyes were firm, and he had a look of fearlessness as if he were going to die for his cause.

"Boss, me too!" Han Shuang vaguely guessed that once the boss left this time, it would be difficult to see him again.

"Pfft~, don't be so serious. I'm just doing this in case of emergency, and it's also a reminder from Qin Su. If we don't need it, so be it. But if we do need it, we'll make sure they don't leave alive."

Whoever covets this place will be devoured. This will surely instill fear in all sides, deterring them from easily venturing in, thus ensuring the peace and tranquility of Northeast City for the next century!

············

On a crisp autumn day, Mo Lan rode her horse and strolled out of the city.

She knew there was a group of people watching her, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she spurred her horse and galloped away.

First, he visited some old friends, and then headed straight for the East China Sea.

On the vast and boundless sea, a ship was drifting. Mo Lan sat in the cabin, determined the location, and switched to automatic navigation before walking to the deck. Facing the sea breeze, she looked at the sea where she couldn't see any heads, wondering what the situation was like on the other side of the sea.

Is it a deserted island or inhabited by a tribe? She will only know the answer after she explores it.

The journey into the unknown has officially begun!

What lies ahead?
