Time flies, and July 16th has arrived.

Sheng Lingwei has been in this world for exactly three months.

At this point, they were still a day's journey from Yucheng County. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling a sense of anticipation.

Although they ate and drank well on the way, their hearts couldn't settle down. Only after they reached their destination and settled down there could they feel at ease.

At this moment, Jing Qingyun's clear and authoritative voice came from the front of the group, "There is a trap ahead. Everyone stop advancing and retreat slowly."

The crowd's expressions instantly turned serious. They immediately drew their weapons and retreated as Jing Qingyun ordered.

The situation was urgent, but they remained calm.

Since following Princess Chang Le, they have experienced all sorts of trials and tribulations, and are no longer the naive people they once were.

In addition, Her Highness the Princess specially arranged for someone to teach them martial arts, and also provided them with elixirs to strengthen their bodies.

After these days of intensive training, they are no longer helpless. While they may not be able to take on ten opponents at once, they can certainly handle two.

It's a pity they haven't practiced martial arts long enough to develop internal energy in a short time. But the princess said that as long as they practice diligently, they can develop internal energy in less than a year.

Sheng Lingwei: With the powerful spiritual spring water, even someone on their last breath can be saved, let alone someone with internal energy.

It's nothing!

Hahaha, this really excited them.

In short, apart from the infants still nursing, everyone in the group, whether elderly or children, actively practiced martial arts.

Seeing their positive attitude, the princess specially provided each of them with a suitable weapon and gave them targeted instruction on how to use their respective weapons.

Broadswords, daggers, swords, spears, guns, forks, meteor hammers, clubs, sticks... and so on.

At a glance, the weapons in the group were a motley collection, and only a princess could have such a great ability to produce so many weapons at once.

The process must have been complicated, which is why they cherished their weapons so much.

These weapons have now become inseparable partners for them; they even keep them by their side when they sleep, for fear of losing them.

Sheng Lingwei brought her brothers and sisters to Jing Qingyun's side.

Looking up, I saw that the road ahead had been dug out, with sharp wooden sticks stuck in the ground and a thin layer of soil covering them for camouflage.

Unfortunately, it was riddled with flaws.

The colorful branches had long since withered under the sunlight.

Once the leaves wither, the top layer of soil falls off in a rush, leaving one hole after another.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is a trap.

In addition, could you please stop moving the weeds on the hillsides on both sides of the main road?

Are they afraid of not attracting other people's attention?

Fool, in this sweltering heat, there's only steam rising, not a single breeze.

"Sister, these people are so stupid!"

Nangong Zichen looked at his surroundings with disdain, as if he were looking at someone who was mentally challenged.

Sheng Lingwei nodded in agreement, "Yes, little brother, they are indeed stupid. You can tell without even meeting them that they have the guts but no brains. Remember, don't be as foolish as them."

"I won't!" Nangong Zichen said firmly, "Sister, I've been studying military strategy since I was a child, so don't underestimate me!"

Sheng Lingwei smiled indulgently and bent down to stroke her younger brother's hair.

"Alright, alright, I won't underestimate you. These fools are yours to deal with. As for my brothers and sisters, they're at your disposal."

After speaking, Sheng Lingwei gave Yue Mingxi and the others a look.

Yue Mingxi, Liang Tianling, Fang Xiuer, Luo Xingyuan, Shen Yang, Shen Xin, and Ji Yi all understood that their eldest brother was planning to focus on cultivating Wuyou's leadership skills.

They will certainly cooperate fully.

He then looked at Nangong Zichen and nodded with a smile.

“Yes, Brother Wuyou, we are at your beck and call.”

Nangong Zichen thanked him with a smile, then pulled the group aside to discuss the matter, while also inviting his good friends Jing Qingyue, Xie Chun, and Liang Yuanyuan.

The four little ones are about the same age and have been together for a few months. Their relationship has gotten better and better. They even make plans to go together when they go to the space to cultivate their supernatural abilities or to work in the spirit fields.

Lin Qingliu, Jing Qingyun's maternal grandfather, and Xie Chun's parents, Xie Fugui and his wife, are Jing Qingyue's maternal grandparents.

Just a few days after Jing Qingyun's birthday, she was brought into the space by Sheng Lingwei.

After all, they are getting old, and the space can enhance their physical condition. In addition, they are family members and trustworthy people.

Sheng Lingwei then led them into the space.

"Xiao Yunzi, look at Wuyou's serious and meticulous appearance, doesn't he have the demeanor of an emperor?"

Sheng Lingwei tugged at Jing Qingyun's hand, looking at Nangong Zichen with a loving and doting expression, a proud smile unconsciously appearing on her face.

Jing Qingyun nodded with a smile, "Weiwei, you're right. I imagine my father-in-law, whom I've never met, must be a great emperor with extraordinary bearing, wisdom, and military prowess. My brother is a perfect example of a tiger father begets no dog son."

Sheng Lingwei glanced at Jing Qingyun and couldn't help but tease, "Oh, little Yunzi, you're quite the complimenter. It's just a pity that my father, whom I've never met, can't hear your praise."

"It's alright," Jing Qingyun explained with a smile. "Weiwei, I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling the truth."

Sheng Lingwei's smile widened. It seemed her father had a pretty good reputation. She was quite looking forward to the day she would meet him.

"Little Yunzi, after we've developed Yucheng County, let's go on a trip to the Southern Di Kingdom, and while we're at it, let's go and meet my biological father. What do you think?"

Jing Qingyun: ...The trip was just an excuse; the real purpose was to find out who my biological father was.

Seeing Jing Qingyun's knowing look, Sheng Lingwei blushed and, hands on her hips, scolded him angrily:

"Xiao Yunzi, you're not allowed to laugh at me."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, Weiwei."

Everyone: ...Love-obsessed people are terrifying!

...

By this time, the people lying in ambush on both sides of the hillside were getting very impatient.

"Second-in-command, what do we do? They've seen through our trap, but they're not falling into it at all!"

The second-in-command, his brows furrowed in anger, gripped his broadsword and gritted his teeth, saying, "What can we do? If all else fails, we'll just charge in and kill them."

The younger brother's expression changed. "No, Second Master! We only have a little over four hundred people on our side, but Princess Chang Le has brought more than ten thousand people."

The second-in-command narrowed his fierce eyes, spat in annoyance, and then began to curse.

"Damn it, I thought Princess Chang Le would only bring a few hundred people to Yucheng County, but I didn't expect her to bring more than 10,000 people. What is she trying to do?"

Could it be true, as the woman surnamed Jin said, that she intends to completely transform Yucheng County?

If that's the case, then we, these vicious brothers, will surely become the first people Princess Chang Le will eliminate.

"Hmph, if she doesn't give us a way out, we'll fight to the death to teach her a lesson."
