His face was full of malice and mockery. In a fit of rage, Ji Xiaoxiao dismembered him on the spot.

The leader of the Destroyer League is John, the grandson of Thor Oxstein, who was once ranked number one on the world's savior list. Relying on his grandfather's prestige, he used some tricks to bring down the previous leader and then took over the Destroyer League himself, wearing a dragon robe.

John is a mediocre man. Despite possessing "divine gifts," he doesn't strive for them, working only sporadically. Even past thirty, he remains a good-for-nothing, capable of nothing more than crying and begging when trouble arises. His ability to remain on the throne of the Destroyer Alliance is inseparable from the support of Okostin, the recipient of the strongest "divine gifts."

The enemy leader was an incompetent fool, which made Ji Xiaoxiao very happy. However, being coveted by a dog filled Ji Xiaoxiao with nothing but resentment and disgust.

Because of John's lack of understanding, the war between the two sides began prematurely.

Ji Xiaoxiao clutched her chest, her brows furrowed, and said, "No matter what means I use, I want the Destroyer Alliance to be wiped out within a year."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as they were about to leave, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Bring John back alive."

A toad lusting after a swan, a grandfather hanging himself—it's courting death.

Whips, branding irons, chili water, and I've prepared the drinks. John, are you ready?

Liao Kongmin was exceptionally capable; within a year, he actually managed to capture John alive.

On the day of their triumphant return to the capital, Ji Xiaoxiao personally went out to greet them.

"Thanks a lot."

Liao Kongmin got out of the car, and Ji Xiaoxiao quickly gave him a warm hug.

"Your Majesty, please don't do this, so many people are watching." Liao Kongmin blushed.

Liao Kongmin was still so innocent, and Ji Xiaoxiao felt a mischievous urge to tease him. She cupped his face and gave him a loud kiss.

"This is a reward."

Leaving behind the words "This is a blatant attempt to cover up something," Ji Xiaoxiao floated away.

Liao Kongmin covered the spot where Ji Xiaoxiao had kissed him, and couldn't help but smile.

This is perhaps a case of "the flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant unintentionally may thrive."

After a hearty meal and drinks at the celebratory banquet that evening, the main event began.

"Bring up the leader of the Destroyer Alliance."

John arrived late, looking miserable, under the expectant gazes of everyone.

Ji Xiaoxiao carefully examined John. He had a square face, a broad forehead, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and distinct facial features. His blond hair shone brightly under the light.

"Not bad looking at all!" Ji Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, thinking with ill intent.

John was dejected for a moment, then raised his head and said arrogantly, "I advise you to release me now, or you'll be in for a world of trouble when my grandfather comes."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao immediately became interested.

Surprisingly, a foreigner's Mandarin was slightly better than that of a native speaker.

"How come you can speak Mandarin?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

John looked distressed and said bitterly, "It's all because of my grandfather. You wouldn't believe it, when I was just old enough to understand things, my grandfather would force me to learn with a ruler. I'm a native of [country name], and I can't even learn my mother tongue properly. Do you think my grandfather is getting old and his mind isn't working properly? No matter how much he admires foreign things, he can't forget his roots!"

After a few words, John remarked, "One should never forget one's roots."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded. John's ability to sit firmly in the position of leader of the Destroyer Alliance for a hundred years must be inseparable from his grandfather's support.

Yes, I'm 100% sure.

John wasn't stupid or idiotic; he was just plain dim-witted. He spoke ill of his own grandfather in front of the enemy.

"I heard you want to marry me, is that true?" Ji Xiaoxiao abruptly changed the subject.

John looked up at Ji Xiaoxiao sitting on the high platform and curled his lip in disdain.

“I wouldn’t even take you if you were given to me,” John said carelessly. “You’re so skinny, you don’t even weigh two ounces. The woman I like is a peerless hero. One day, she will marry me wearing golden armor and riding on a rainbow.”

John's eyes gleamed with desire, and his excitement made him incredibly thrilled on the spot.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at John's lower body and couldn't help but facepalm.

Foreigners, oh foreigners!

However, Ji Xiaoxiao felt something was off about what he was saying.

Clad in golden armor and riding on colorful clouds, this seems to be...

"John, why do you want to marry a woman like that? Wouldn't a delicate, pampered woman be better?"

Ji Xiaoxiao gradually verified her conjecture.

John put on a "you foolish mortal" expression and said, "What's so good about delicate women? They can't lift a finger. If I marry one, I'll be exhausted."

"Worked to death?" How can you be worked to death?

“If I marry a useless woman like that, I’ll have to do all the dirty and hard work. I’m a young master, how can I stoop so low? The woman I marry must be a heroine. When we get married, we’ll live like celestial beings. She’ll fetch water and water the garden, she’ll weave cloth and till the fields.” John grinned foolishly.

Ji Xiaoxiao was shocked. John was such an extraordinary man, truly one of a kind, unprecedented and unparalleled.

"Thank goodness I didn't marry him." Ji Xiaoxin patted her chest with lingering fear.

If a woman who marries John is nearing the end of her life, it is almost certainly because she died from overwork.

John stood there for ages without even a sip of wine. This big boy, who had never suffered the slightest grievance, started throwing a tantrum in the main hall.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Liao Kongmin and asked with her eyes, "Is this really the grandson of Okostin, the leader of the Destroyer Alliance?"

Liao Kongmin stared intently at John's face for several minutes, then nodded resignedly.

Undoubtedly, that was John, the grandson of the famous savior Oxford.

Unable to win against John, Ji Xiaoxiao ordered a feast to be prepared for him. John, ever the opportunist, ate and drank to his heart's content.

A rumbling sound filled the air, and before anyone knew it, dark clouds had gathered in the sky.

Lightning flashed through the dark clouds, and gales raged across the land.

A storm is brewing; the wind howls. This is an ominous sign.

Boom! A massive bolt of lightning struck the palace where everyone was enjoying their drinks.
