Xian'er's cold eyes fell on Kaneki Haruka's face. "Useless teammates are just a burden! I'll let you off this time since this is the first time you've questioned me. But I hope it's the last time, because next time, I might make you go and ask Daiben yourself!"

Haruka Kaneki collapsed to the ground. What a terrifying woman she was! She could even kill her own teammates!

She showed no mercy, striking without even blinking...

That's terrifying!

"Alright, next I need you to complete a task." Gu Yan said with a smile, "Wang Qiankun, the general guarding the royal city, will definitely become an obstacle for the barbarian army if he lives. Moreover, we have already suffered a loss at his hands last time. So this time, I want you, Xian'er, to lead them to eliminate Wang Qiankun!"

"Old Gu, you're asking me to avenge them!" Xian'er said with a smile.

“Getting rid of a man is naturally a piece of cake for you,” Gu Yan said with a smile.

Xian'er smiled and said, "Of course!"

"Also, there's no need to send the barbarian's young chieftain, Jin'erjia, back to the barbarian tribe." Gu Yan's eyes flashed with coldness. "Just kill him!"

Xian'er frowned slightly. "I rescued him, so why does Gu Lao still want to kill him? Isn't he a barbarian?"

"Hmph, although he is a barbarian and the young chieftain of the barbarian tribe, he still dared to harm my people. Anyone who harms my people deserves to die!" Gu Yan sneered.

Xian'er chuckled upon hearing this, "Don't worry, I'll make sure he has an easy journey!"

"Cough cough..." Late at night, heavy coughing could be heard coming from Wang Qiankun's tent.

Wang Xiaotian stood by and said, "How can you trouble an old man like this?"

Wang Qiankun's face was pale, and the wound on his chest burned with pain. "Cough...cough cough...Sir, what you said hurt my feelings!"

Seeing Wang Qiankun's bloodless face, Wang Xiaotian stood up and said, "Sigh, I'd better go tell Yueya to come and take care of you." Wang Xiaotian prepared to get up.

"No!" Wang Qiankun said urgently, "Xiaoyue, she, she and I have been arguing these past few days, she probably won't come."

Looking at Wang Qiankun's helpless expression, Wang Xiaotian sighed and said, "I've watched Xiaoyue and you grow up. You two have been arguing all along, so there's no grudge left! As the saying goes, 'quarrels at the head of the bed are reconciled at the foot of the bed...'"

"Grandpa, you're my dear grandpa, you can go now, I'm going to sleep." Wang Qiankun had a headache; he and Hua Yue hadn't gotten to that point yet.

"Hmph, you really don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young! I kindly treated your injuries in the middle of the night, and you still chased me away! Fine, I'll leave! Humph!" Wang Xiaotian turned around and left in a huff.

Wang Qiankun shook his head helplessly and called out, "Wang Lin!"

Wang Lin walked in. "General..."

"Cough cough... Send the military doctor back."

"Yes!" Wang Lin glanced at Wang Qiankun worriedly, then nodded, not daring to disobey his orders.

"Cough cough..." Wang Qiankun clutched his heavy chest, feeling utterly weak. "I never thought I'd be tripped up like this, and it might cost me my life! Ha... Wang Qiankun, you're such a coward, you can't even face a woman..."

Early in the morning, Huayue changed into new clothes, preparing to perform a dance for the gods today.

Just as she was about to leave, Xiaoyue rushed in, looking panicked. "Something terrible has happened! Miss, something terrible has happened!"

Hua Yue looked speechless. "What's wrong with me?"

"Miss, for some reason, the sacrificial dance today has been performed by someone else!" Xiaoyue said in one breath.

"What?!" Hua Yue's face darkened. "Then do you know who replaced her with the god-worshiping dance?"

"I... I don't know her either. She doesn't seem to be from our royal city, but I heard that this woman is a fairy who descended from the sky today! She looks somewhat similar to the Flower Goddess!"

Xiaoyue's face turned pale with anxiety. "These people clearly arranged for you to perform the sacrificial dance, Miss. Changing it now is clearly disrespecting you!"

Hua Yue said coldly, "I want to see how that fairy is any different from us mortal women! Xiao Yue, help me change into the Rainbow Feather Robe. Today, I, Hua Yue, will compete with her for beauty!"

"Yes, Miss!" Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation.

Mo Li sat in the room, constantly divination about the person who rescued Jin Erjia last night. He performed the divination three times, and the final result was always the same, but it was full of mystery. Subconsciously, he frowned.

Hua Mulan pushed open the door, placed breakfast on the table, and seeing Mo Li's solemn expression, comforted her, "Xiao Li, don't worry, let's eat something first."

Mo Li withdrew his divine sense and sighed, "I just performed three calculations and calculated that Jin'erjia was rescued last night, but I couldn't calculate his current whereabouts. I suspect that his life force has been cut off."

Hua Mulan's hand stiffened slightly, and she was somewhat lost in thought. "He...he's dead?"

Mo Li nodded. "The chances of him dying are very high."

Mulan sighed, "Perhaps, this is the best ending for him."

“But the strange thing is, the person who rescued him is right here, but I can’t see her position… What’s going on?” Mo Li frowned, completely clueless.

"Don't think about it anymore, let's eat something. Today is a day for worshipping the gods, let's go out and relax for a while," Mulan said with a smile.

Mo Li nodded.

After the meal, the two came out of their room and invited Mo Chen to go and watch the sacrificial ceremony together.

"Hasn't Senior Brother Mo Han returned?" Hua Mulan asked in confusion.

"Yes, I haven't seen my senior brother for the past few days since I woke up..." Mo Li asked in confusion.

“Something happened back home, so I sent a letter asking him to go back,” Mo Chen said with a light cough.
