"That's impossible." Feng Xiao helped the old cripple utter the words that his tongue was trembling and he couldn't say.

Liu Yi laughed and said, "Nothing is impossible in front of Bian Lang."

She and Dugu Qiusheng were used to it; after all, the old cripple was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, and Bian Lang could tease him however he wanted.

The powerful nascent soul remained motionless in Bian Lang's palm, like a jade sculpture.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong..." The old cripple suddenly knelt down.

Bian Lang said, "It's too late."

"No..." the old cripple shouted in terror.

But with a slight exertion of force, the old cripple's nascent soul let out a scream and vanished instantly.

puff.

The old cripple also spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsed to the ground, and his body convulsed uncontrollably.

With his nascent soul destroyed, the old cripple became a complete cripple.

Even an ordinary person could easily kill the old cripple.

Bian Lang raised his hand again and gave the old cripple a quick death.

Feng Xiao just stared at Bian Lang, unsure of what to say for a moment.

In fact, Yu Canglong, who was holding the Yama's Rope, was easily killed by Bian Lang. Although the old cripple was a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he be a match for Bian Lang?

The decision to join Bian Lang was undoubtedly the right one.

No matter who Song Feng asks to help, they will probably die a miserable death at Bian Lang's hands.

After disposing of the old cripple's body, the group continued on their way and successfully reached the next teleportation point.

The teleportation covered a distance of over 40,000 li, directly reaching a very important city in the empire called Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is a very important teleportation hub for the entire empire.

Peach Blossom Cave also has some businesses in the city, including inns.

A legitimate inn would never allow guests to bring a dead body into the room.

But this is Feng Xiao's own inn, so it doesn't matter if he brings in a hundred corpses.

Feng Xiao arranged top-tier rooms for everyone, the level of luxury of which was astonishing.

Feng Xiao wanted to arrange a separate room for Shen Ruhui's body, but Bian Lang refused.

Bian Lang had Shen Ruhui's corpse stand behind the door of his room, just like they had in the Corpse Transport Inn.

Feng Xiao had also considered writing a letter to the Empress, but he knew that Song Feng had plenty of ways to intercept or even replace the letter.

Only by appearing before the Empress can she prove her innocence.

Moreover, allowing a villain like Song Feng to remain by the Empress's side and hold an important position is by no means a blessing for the people.

After daylight passed, the group set off again as night fell.

After this teleportation, the distance to the next teleportation point is a full three thousand miles.

Within these vast mountains and rivers spanning three thousand miles, numerous monsters live, all of them behaving peacefully and lawfully.

These monsters would also do small business with passing caravans, exchanging mountain treasures for what they needed.

In some mountain peaks or plains, there are also villages and towns built by monsters, which are very lively.

Hearing Feng Xiao talk about these things, Liu Yi felt even more confused.

What kind of woman could rule such a vast and bizarre empire?

"Feng Xiao, what kind of person is the Empress?" Liu Yi still felt it was better to ask Feng Xiao directly.

Feng Xiao didn't know how to describe it, so she could only say, "You'll know when you see her."

"Given our status, we probably won't be able to see the Empress," Dugu Qiusheng said, speaking the truth.

Feng Xiao smiled and said, "We will meet."

There are some things she's only guessing about right now, and she thinks it's better not to tell these three people.

Once they arrive in the capital, she will arrange for Bian Lang and the others to meet the Empress, at which point the doubts in her heart will be resolved.

"Under the Empress's suppression, there have been fewer and fewer incidents of monsters harming people in recent years, but that doesn't mean the road ahead will be easier." Feng Xiao was always on tenterhooks every time he traveled these three thousand miles, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Dugu Qiusheng laughed and said, "With Brother Bian here, we have nothing to worry about."

Feng Xiao smiled and nodded. She had some doubts when Liu Yi and Dugu Qiusheng said those words before, but now she was completely convinced that as long as Bian Lang was there, there would be no surprises.

As dawn approached, a monster town came into view ahead.

Feng Xiao has a friend who runs a business in the small town.

In the past, whenever Feng Xiao passed through, she would stay at this friend's house.

Previously, Feng Xiao would only appear when it was almost dark, but this time he appeared just before dawn, which really surprised the person.

The woman was in her early thirties, dressed in plain clothes, and had many pockmarks on her face, making her very ugly.

However, she has a very good figure, with a curvy figure, which is exactly the type that countless men like.

"Her name is Sun Lingling. She's a very good friend of mine and has always lived with monsters," Feng Xiao introduced her to everyone with a smile.

Dugu Qiusheng asked in astonishment, "She married a monster?"

“Monsters are actually better than humans.” Sun Lingling covered her mouth and chuckled.

Dugu Qiusheng rolled his eyes disdainfully and asked, "And where's your man?"

"At this hour, of course everyone's sleeping," Sun Lingling said, yawning as well.

The couple gets up very late every day, because if they don't get enough sleep, they will age faster.

Feng Xiao then told the three that Sun Lingling's man was a rat demon, and even after transforming into human form, his body was still very short.

But Sun Lingling adored her monster husband, treating him like an emperor and not letting him do any work.

"I'm curious, isn't she worried about giving birth to a litter of baby mice?" Dugu Qiusheng's eyes widened after hearing this.

Feng Xiao blushed; she couldn't answer that question.

She had asked Sun Lingling before, but Sun Lingling seemed to be looking forward to it, hoping to give birth to a litter of baby mice for that rat demon.

Sun Lingling's family runs a guesthouse, and they arranged the best rooms in the guesthouse for the group.

She didn't inquire about Shen Ruhui's body, and even when she saw Bian Lang bring the body into the room, she didn't say anything.

Bian Lang had just lain down on the bed when he heard Sun Lingling's very low voice.

Sun Lingling's room was in the backyard, a bit far from the inn. If Bian Lang hadn't had amazing hearing, he would never have heard her voice.

“Feng Xiao is my best friend, and I really don’t want to hurt her. Given the difficulties we’re currently facing, if I just ask her, she’ll definitely help us.” Sun Lingling’s voice was tinged with unease.

Soon another sharp, piercing voice rang out: "But where is the child?"

Sun Lingling fell silent.

The debts are easy to resolve, but the children they want are not so easy to obtain.

Over the years, Feng Xiao has brought her many things, but unfortunately none of them had any effect after she took them.

If Feng Xiao could find a way to give her a child, she would already have a son and a daughter.

“If Feng Xiao were in this situation, I think she would definitely sell you without hesitation.” The rat demon sensed that Sun Lingling seemed to be wavering, so it began to patiently persuade her.

Sun Lingling nodded and said nothing more.

The rat demon then added, "We'll just put some medicine in their food. The rest will be handled by someone else. It has nothing to do with us."

These comforting words were undoubtedly very effective.
