“Since I dared to agree, I am absolutely certain.” Liu Yue raised an eyebrow.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!" Sheng Yang kowtowed deeply.

"From this day forward, you will serve as my bodyguard. However, your strength is currently too weak."

Sheng Yang's talent was not low, but his dantian was shattered, preventing him from making any further progress.

Liu Yue naturally knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, so she took out two black pills: "This is the Heart-Devouring Gu Poison. After taking it, you must unconditionally obey my orders, otherwise you will be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die from your body exploding."

The girl raised her eyebrows confidently: "However, you still have a chance to regret it now."

"I do!"

Sheng Yang and Xiao Yao said in unison.

Then he took the pill and swallowed it without thinking.

"Well, from now on, I'm going to subject you to hellish training, but I'm sure that your cultivation will also improve after that," Jun Liuyue said loudly.

She doesn't need three useless followers; those who follow her must be strong and capable of standing alone.

"Yes, Miss."

The three of them said in unison.

=========

The Azure Dragon Royal Family.

"Aaaaaah!"

In the past two weeks, all the top doctors in the capital city of Qinglong have come here.

However, the black scars on Feng Wan's face did not fade at all, and she was still suffering greatly.

"Kill them all! Kill them all for me!" Feng Wan was so angry that she swept all the medicine bottles on the table to the ground, scattering valuable high-grade pills all over the floor.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Feng Wan was furious. How could this be? Her face!

"Princess, please forgive me!"

The maids knelt on the ground.

"How can I, the princess, go to the academy with this face?! Aaaaah!" Thinking about enrollment in a month later, Feng Wan was even more furious. "You bitch, Gui Yan, get out here! Why haven't you found that bitch after searching for half a month!"

"Princess, please forgive me." Gui Yan was sweating profusely. It wasn't that he didn't want to look, but he simply didn't know where to begin. The woman named Jun Qing had vanished as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, never to appear in the Ghost Market again.

"Aaaaaah!"

Feng Wan kicked Gui Yan in the chest in a rage: "Useless! If you can't find her, are you expecting me, the princess, to go to Wentian Academy with this disfigured face?"

If anyone saw her like this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off? She is the eldest princess of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!

How could the most noble woman in the world tolerate her ridicule!

"Wanwan, what has made you so angry?" A beautiful woman dressed in a phoenix robe walked in from outside the door. She was none other than the Azure Dragon Empress, Nalan Yao.

"Mother, Empress Dowager!"

Feng Wan instinctively covered her left cheek and burst into tears, throwing herself into Nalan Yao's arms: "Mother, it was all that vile woman named Jun Qing who plotted against me! If it weren't for her, Wu Yan would have already submitted to me. Not only did she steal Wu Yan away, but she also committed such a heinous act against her son!"

"Let Mother see." Nalan Yao lifted Feng Wan's chin with her hand, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Such a vicious poison."

"Mother, what should I do? I've already consulted all the top doctors, sob sob sob... If I have to go to school with this face, I'd rather die, sob sob sob."

"Wan'er, you are my daughter, how can you be so spineless?" Nalan Yao scolded in a deep voice, "If word gets out that you are being so loud and boisterous, won't you become a laughingstock to the world?"

"But Mother..."

Feng Wan nestled in Nalan Yao's arms, "It's all that bitch's fault!"

"Jun Qing?"

"That's right! But I couldn't find out her background. Junqing is definitely a fake name." Thinking of that woman, Feng Wan felt a burning hatred. She hoped she would never see her again, otherwise—she would definitely regret it.

"It's just a small scar." Nalan Yao stroked her face and said with a smile, "Actually, there's another way."

"What method?"

"That's called skinning."

Nalan Yao said with a smile, but a normal person would probably be scared out of their wits if they heard her words.

A complete skin change! A blatant skin change.

Nalan Yao had seen that little bitch do this before.

“Your beast soul is too low-level. Fortunately, your mother has chosen a perfect person for you. As long as you devour her beast soul, your beast soul can evolve to the Heavenly Rank. Her face is as smooth as jade, which is also very suitable for my Wan’er.” Nalan Yao gently stroked Feng Wan’s face, as if looking at a perfect work of art.

"That's great!" Feng Wan's eyes lit up. "With this, once we enter the training camp, I'll be the strongest!"

At this moment, Feng Wan had already put the scars on her face out of her mind, as if she could already see those people casting envious glances at her.

“You are my daughter, the princess of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, naturally no one can compare to you.” Nalan Yao stroked Feng Wan’s hair. “Let’s go.”

"Thank you, Mother!"

*

The dimly lit underground cell reeked of blood, and some cultivators were screaming and writhing in agony from torture.

Upon seeing Nalan Yao and Feng Wan appear, she charged forward frantically, screaming at the top of her lungs; "Empress!! Die—!"

"Oh."

Nalan Yao raised her hand, and with her powerful spiritual energy, she sent him flying.

His head shattered, splattering brain matter all over the floor.

At the innermost part, a cold chain bound an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl.

"What do you want? Where's Shengyang?!"

The girl seemed to have just woken up, her eyes filled with confusion, but when she realized that she was tied up and unable to move, her eyes widened in terror.
