In the year 2162 AD, Earth's civilization, which had already begun its journey into space, encountered a major turning point: a world war that swept across the globe.

The most advanced weapons at the time opened the prelude to destruction in the war and destroyed the once highly prosperous human civilization.

Every terrestrial structure within sight was destroyed. Beyond the nuclear tethers of various nations, laser weapons deployed on the moon severed the original Eurasian continent, causing geographical dislocation. Ancient humanity's relentless use of destructive weapons left behind not only nuclear radiation, which remains to this day, but also irreparable scars on the land and oceans.

If we still use the old calendar today, it is already the year 2527 AD. Nearly four hundred years have passed before mankind has barely recovered, which is equivalent to the scientific level of the early 21st century.

"This is the world-renowned Himalayan gully. It's fifteen kilometers long, the longest ravine in the world." Xu Xianxian leaned against the car window, watching the car beside her speed past the towering bridge. She then looked down at the abyss of the ravine below and marveled. "I heard that hundreds of years ago, this was a mountain range, with Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Unfortunately, it was struck by the most powerful ancient lunar weapon, and even its geographical location shifted, resulting in the 'man-made' natural landscape we see today."

The Kingdom of Leer was founded during the Dark Ages and inherited a corner of the southern tip of the Asian continent. On the surface, it is a constitutional monarchy, but in reality, the monarch's power far exceeds that of the prime minister, and there are even special royal laws.

Royal law is not bound by the constitution. Even if a royal descendant commits a crime, he will not be sentenced according to the laws of the kingdom, but will be dealt with according to royal law.

Needless to say, this law was purely for the protection of the royal family.

"I heard that there are ancient ruins buried deep beneath this ravine, which seem to be related to the ancient Chinese nation."

Weilan sat nearby, looking at the little girl leaning against the window, and couldn't help but interrupt.

As a native of the Kingdom of Lier, she had some knowledge of this history.

"The Xia Federation is the successor of the ancient Chinese nation. The people of our federation are basically all yellow people with black hair and black eyes." Xu Xianxian sat back in her seat and said seriously, "This must be something left by our ancestors. If I have the chance one day, I will definitely go down and take a look."

When she said this, her big eyes immediately began to light up, revealing a greedy look.

"But you're not a pure yellow race, are you?" Weilan stretched out his hand, compared it with Xu Xianxian's skin color, and curled his lips. "Aside from your black hair and black eyes, you don't look like a yellow race at all. Your skin is even whiter than mine... Are your ancestors mixed-race?"

Xu Xianxian's skin was a pale, unhealthy white, with a hint of sickness, especially when paired with her blood-red lips, it inexplicably added a bit of weirdness.

Her skin was originally of a normal color, but as she improved in martial arts, and perhaps due to the strengthening of the rabbit hairpin, it became paler and paler, almost transparent, while her lips became increasingly bright red, like blood.

"It's from martial arts training."

Xu Xianxian didn't know how to explain this question, so she just gave an explanation casually.

She knew that her appearance was becoming more and more like the 'self' she had seen in the mirror more than a month ago when she had just received the rabbit hairpin.

Xu Xianxian still hasn't figured out the reason for this strange phenomenon.

"What secret method are you practicing? It can even whiten your skin!" Weilan, as a girl, even though her skin is very fair, was still very interested in this topic: "A beauty secret method?!"

"You don't understand. This is a secret."

Seeing the blonde girl coming over, Xu Xianxian pushed her away with a look of disgust.

After being pushed away, Weilan looked unhappy. He crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly: "Forget it, you stingy guy."

"I'll tell you if you pay more."

Xu Xianxian's black eyes rolled around, and she stretched out her fair and tender little hand, rubbing her index finger and thumb back and forth.

"Wow! That's such an exorbitant price! You're truly a miser!" Wei Lan opened his lips and looked at Xu Xianxian in disbelief: "Are you obsessed with money?"

"Hmph, I'm glad you know." Xu Xianxian shrugged, with an indifferent expression on her face: "If you can't pay, don't bother me."

"This Miss Xu is the bodyguard you hired, Master Xia?"

Edel, who was sitting in the driver's seat, heard the noise of the two women disturbing him and looked at Charlie next to him with some amusement.

He doesn't speak Federal language and can only communicate in English, so the pronunciation of "Xu" is particularly difficult.

Xia Li adjusted his glasses and smiled, glancing at the bald man beside him. "Don't be fooled by Miss Xu's playful nature. She's incredibly powerful and a highly skilled martial artist. She was responsible for resolving the minor issues we encountered earlier."

Fortunately, the road was relatively flat and they didn't encounter any vicious criminals. Even if some came to harass them, Xu Xianxian chased them away like flies.

"It seems that Miss Xu is very powerful..."

Edel's expression changed, a hint of contempt flashed across his face, but he still agreed.

That elementary school girl is a bodyguard?

He can crush ten of them by himself!

Not to mention those who target the young lady, they will probably be captured and used as playthings.

"Butler Xia, Miss... I was forced into this situation. If you get caught, please don't resent me too much..."

Edel's hands, gripping the steering wheel, were slightly sweaty, and his eyes showed a hint of guilt and nervousness.

His family is in the hands of the other party, and he has no third way to go except betraying the eldest daughter.

"Haha, of course!" Xia Li, having seen the little girl's bloodthirsty look, naturally shook his head and sighed, "The Xia Federation is indeed becoming increasingly powerful, with many talented young people emerging. I wonder when our Lier Kingdom will see such a day."

He has been in the Xia Federation for many years, but he is a stranger in a foreign land. Although the Federation is good, it is not his hometown after all.

"That... forget it..." Edel sighed sadly upon hearing this. "The royal family has been tightening its grip on power over the years. They've had two prime ministers in less than three years, and they're constantly launching purges. I don't think it's going to be easy for a country like this to become strong."

The master's murder was the work of a branch of the royal family. But even a lowly royal descendant was insurmountable for wealthy commoners. All they had to do was smear him behind his back, and any noise they made would be drowned out.

Now, he wants to attack the eldest daughter again and make him the traitor...
