"Pah! You slut!"

These were the two fierce words that the northerner replied to Qin Kou'er.

Qin Kou'er looked at him, her eyes instantly turning cold and ruthless, a cruel smile creeping onto her lips.

In the instant she confronted the northerner, Qin Kou'er leaped up and delivered a powerful palm strike to Lan Xiuyuan in front of her.

With a single palm strike, Lan Xiuyuan flew out instantly, blood dripping from his mouth.

No one expected Qin Kou'er to act so suddenly and so ruthlessly.

Feng Zhouyuan immediately struggled to his feet: "Qin Kou'er! You bitch! How dare you treat a prince like this! This is treason!"

Qin Kou'er didn't even glance at Feng Zhouyuan. Instead, she slowly walked up to the person struggling on the ground, stomped him to the ground, and looked down at him.

"If you dare to give another irrelevant answer, I'll chop off Lan Xiuyuan's hand! I have no patience, you should know that!"

As she spoke, Qin Kou'er looked up at the sky again and said with some sadness, "It's already autumn, but I didn't expect it to get light so quickly! Sigh, I'm afraid I'll have to leave after dawn!"

Everyone knew this was Qin Kou'er's final deadline. If he didn't tell the truth before dawn, no one could guarantee what Qin Kou'er might do.

The northerner was pinned down under Qin Kou'er's feet and unable to move, yet he still clenched his teeth tightly as he followed her.

Qin Kou'er wasn't angry and waved to Qu Feng'er behind her.

Qu Feng'er immediately walked over gracefully, not even glancing at Lan Xiuyuan's pale face, and grabbed his hand, twisting it forcefully.

"ah--"

Lan Xiuyuan let out a scream and fainted.

Qu Feng'er immediately frowned. What kind of man is this? So fragile! He fainted from just a slight twist. Is he made of paper?

He turned to look at Qin Kou'er, who also frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Lan Xiuyuan's unconsciousness.

Qu Feng'er turned around again and slammed her palm hard against Lan Xiuyuan's body, forcefully making Lan Xiuyuan open his eyes again.

Qin Kou'er looked down at the Northerner again and said in an extremely relaxed tone, "If you still don't speak, he'd rather die than live!"

The northerners had never seen such a vicious woman before. Their eyes were filled with hatred and an undisguised fear as they looked at Qin Kou'er.

Although he had tortured others severely in the past, he always felt that under Qin Kou'er's hands, there would be even more severe punishments that would make everyone speak.

"I just had his arm broken, but if you don't speak up, I'll definitely break it completely, bone and all! Three counts! You only have three seconds! One!"

The northerner stared at Qin Kou'er with eyes blazing with fury, but remained stubbornly silent.

"two!"

"three!"

Between the second and third words, Qin Kou'er didn't pause at all. After saying the last word, she suddenly shouted to Qu Feng'er behind her: "Slay!"

Qu Feng'er pulled out a knife from her bosom as if by magic, raised it, and slashed down at Lan Xiuyuan's hand.

"Wait a minute! I'll talk!"

Qin Kou'er fixed her sharp gaze on him, knowing that if he dared to hesitate any longer, Lan Xiuyuan's hand would fall squarely.

The man from the Northern Kingdom looked at Qin Kou'er, swallowed hard, and slowly said, "This wolf fang blade is a token of our former crown prince! It is also a sacred object of our Northern Kingdom! It is a treasure left behind by our ancestors after they killed the ancient wolf king! However, this thing disappeared along with our crown prince twenty years ago!"

Qin Kou'er immediately narrowed her eyes, slowly lowered her body, and asked, "Isn't your current emperor the original crown prince?"

Because she knew nothing about the Northern Kingdom, Qin Kou'er had never actually heard of this legend.

The northerner frowned and nodded: "Back then, our crown prince went hunting with his men, but he disappeared in the canyon! No matter what we did, we couldn't find him! We just don't know why he ended up here!"

As he spoke, the northerner glanced at Lan Xiuyuan with a complicated expression.

Upon hearing this, Qin Kou'er slowly clenched the wolf fang in her hand.

This is Lan Xiuyuan's most precious possession, and Hu Tianyong must have told him that he must not part with it.

If it weren't for Lan Xiuyuan's jealousy and need for this Northerner, he definitely wouldn't have given it up even if it meant death!

This was a token from the Northern Kingdom, but it was Lan Xiuyuan's most precious possession. Thinking of what had happened to Lan Jiayuan, Qin Kou'er's eyes immediately lit up.

Hu Tianyong! You really are a man of deep thoughts.

You actually let your daughter give birth to the son of the former crown prince of the Northern Kingdom! For this reason alone, Lan Xiuyuan absolutely cannot live any longer.

Qin Kou'er slowly stood up, coldly looking at the northerner and said, "I've heard that your people's children are tattooed with totems from birth. And your royal family has a legend that only those with a wolf totem on their backs can become emperors, is that right?"

"Yes!" The man looked up at Qin Kou'er with apparent pride: "This is not some legend! It is the symbol of the ancient wolf king's submission to us. It appears behind the true god generation after generation, protecting our era's prosperity! Otherwise, why do you think our Prince Tuotuo, with his great talent and ambition, didn't become emperor? Because he didn't have this totem behind him, he wasn't blessed by the wolf king!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, then glanced at Qu Feng'er.
