After saying this, Fang Ren'an changed his previous confidence and a look of worry appeared on his face.

"Princess, once the Life-Devouring Gu kills the host body it inhabits, the mother Gu will sense it immediately."

Now that these two thieves are dead, their master will surely be on his guard. Princess, please be careful in the future.

Sheng Lingwei and Jing Qingyun exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with admiration.

It must be said that Fang Ren'an is indeed a talented person.

Sheng Lingwei smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Physician Fang. Your erudition and knowledge are truly admirable. I will be more careful in the future."

Furthermore, if I encounter any matters concerning Gu worms again in the future, I hope Physician Fang can offer some assistance.

Fang Ren'an was flattered and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Princess Chang Le, you flatter me. I only know a little bit, but if the princess needs me, I will do my best.”

Sheng Lingwei chuckled and said, "Sacrificing your life is too serious. Besides, you are Xiu'er's father, which means you are essentially one of my people."

"I always protect my own people and will never let them suffer any injustice. If you are bullied, you can complain to me, and I will definitely stand up for you."

What?

Fang Ren'an stared wide-eyed in shock.

When did his Xiuer get along so well with the princess?

Fang Xiuer blinked helplessly at the suspicion in her father's eyes; she couldn't tell him about what happened between her and her eldest son.

So, he stepped forward with a smile and took Sheng Lingwei's arm.

"Father, I get along very well with the princess. You don't need to worry about my safety anymore. The princess is very powerful and she will protect me."

If someone else said that, they would definitely be told they don't know what they're talking about.

But Fang Xiuer and Sheng Lingwei have an unusual relationship; you could say they are sisters without blood ties.

Sheng Lingwei nodded in agreement, "Yes, I will protect Xiuer's safety."

Fang Ren'an opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

"Hmph, what about me?" Luo Xingyuan huffed unhappily, and in the blink of an eye, she quickly took Sheng Lingwei's other arm.

Now it was Robin and his son's turn to be dumbfounded, their lips trembling as they remained silent for a long time.

Those girls from the Luo family are truly bold!

Sheng Lingwei looked at Fang Ren'an and the other two and explained with a smile, "Don't be too surprised. I have lived in seclusion in the inner palace for many years and don't have many friends."

And here I am, having just met Xiuer and Ayuan. I like them both very much, both in terms of personality and character.

Now that they've saved my brother, I admire them even more, so it's only natural that we've become good friends.

Good heavens!

Fang Ren'an and the other two felt that the scene before them was too surreal.

One can only sigh: the friendships of girls can come so suddenly!

Jing Qingyun glanced at the sky and said to everyone, "This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's leave first."

Robin pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked with a look of disgust, "Princess, Prince Jing, should these lumps be buried on the spot?"

“No need.” Sheng Lingwei shook her head, a meaningful look flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, Princess."

——

The next morning, six men wearing golden masks arrived in the woods.

Upon seeing the two clansmen whose limbs had been severed and whose deaths were gruesome and terrifying, his heart tightened and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Immediately afterwards, on a large rock not far from the body, two lines of large characters carved with a sword were seen.

You little Yuezhi bastards, very well, I will remember you.

Those who are stubborn enough to come here to die are welcome to do so. I am kind-hearted and will grant your wish!

"Ahhhh, young clan leader, how dare Sheng Lingwei be so arrogant? She even cruelly murdered people a month ago. We must avenge them, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this insult."

One of the men had a grim face and his eyes were gleaming red as he spoke viciously.

The others were furious and chimed in.

“Young clan leader, it seems we underestimated Sheng Lingwei. The fact that she was able to kill Yue Qian and Yue Zhong shows that her martial arts skills are definitely not weak.”

"Hmph, maybe it wasn't her who killed Yueqian and Yuezhong, but perhaps it was someone protecting her. We can't diminish our own prestige and boost the morale of others."

"That's right. We are the people with the highest level of supernatural abilities in the Yuezhi. Are we afraid of a woman? Even the powerful Holy Maiden back then was brought back to our tribe by us."

"..."

Listening to the group chattering away, Yue Mingxi couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was fed up with these disgusting bastards.

He wouldn't bother contacting them if it weren't for the need to find the boss as soon as possible.

That said, he's a born arrogance, so he wouldn't tolerate being mistreated and immediately launched into a scathing critique.

"Tch, have you all lost your minds? Rumor has it that the Third Princess of Northern Qi can strike lightning out of thin air, which means that she, like our Yuezhi, cultivates supernatural abilities within her body."

Moreover, their strength is even greater than that of our people. Just take our people for example, very few of them possess lightning-type abilities.

Even with lightning-based superpowers, one cannot even conjure a lightning ball, let alone create lightning out of thin air.

Tsk tsk, I really don't know what you guys are thinking? You always think you're invincible, but you don't realize you're the frogs in the well, completely ignorant of your own limitations.

“You…” The group choked for a moment, then turned their anger toward Yue Mingxi.

"Yue Mingxi, you deserve to die..."

Young clan leader Yue Shangtian frowned and roared.

"Shut up, all of you! Anyone who dares to say another word can go back to the Yuezhi. This is not the place for you to argue."

The group awkwardly shut their mouths. Although they were stronger than the young clan leader, he was someone with connections.

They dared not contradict him.

However, that brat Yue Mingxi is becoming more and more annoying.

If it weren't for his high level of superpower, making him one of the best among the younger generation in the clan, he wouldn't have been so highly regarded by the clan leader.

"Tch!" Yue Mingxi crossed her arms and scoffed disdainfully.

Yue Shangtian's eyes darkened, his sinister gaze sweeping directly at Yue Mingxi, a cunning scheme flashing across them.

"Yue Mingxi, you're right. We're all frogs in a well. We don't have the strength to face Sheng Lingwei."

Since you came along on this mission, you have consistently disobeyed my orders. I suppose you think we are too weak to be worthy of your company.

Since that's the case, then you will act alone. I order you to capture Sheng Lingwei and her brother as quickly as possible.

I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise, your parents far away in the Yuezhi won't have an easy time."

Yue Mingxi clenched her fists, her cold eyes staring directly at Yue Shangtian, her tone full of sarcasm.

"Moon in the sky, oh moon in the sky, you have no other merits besides threatening people."

I'm putting this out there today: if you dare to harm my parents, I will make sure you die a horrible death.

If you don't believe me, we can certainly try it!

The moon rises high and the weather is tense, "You..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Yue Mingxi stepped back a few paces, covering her mouth and nose with a look of disgust.

"Moonlight, please shut your stinking mouth! Your mouth has drunk too much human blood, it's so disgusting and makes me want to vomit."
