"Hai Mo, come here." Xia Xiang waved to her from a distance, beckoning her over.

When Haimo saw that it was Xia Xiang, she hesitated for a moment, then obediently ran over to her.

“Since she is your sister, you should also have the abilities of your clan.” Xia Xiang looked at her gently.

“Yes, but my energy isn’t strong enough yet, but I can try,” Haimo said eagerly.

Xia Xiang patted her head. "Don't get excited. What I mean is, you should know that I don't have much time and can't teach you anything."

"Yes," Haimo said, lowering her head with some sadness.

"You are now the leader of your timeline, so you need to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Bai Yu will arrange your lives and studies," Xia Xiang instructed. "If he goes too far, find that gentle young lady from earlier. Trust her as you would trust me, okay?"

"I don't trust you that much," Hai Mo rolled her eyes at Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang: You brat!

"My sister told me to follow you closely," Haimo said frankly. "I'm doing this so I can keep an eye on you and help you restore the Water Dimension as soon as possible..."

As Haimo spoke, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xia Xiang handed her a handkerchief.

"Thank you," Haimo said, taking the item and wiping it.

Xia Xiang couldn't maintain her loving expression either, and retorted sharply, "You're so bad at this, yet you can't help but blurt it out. How are you going to supervise me?"

"Ugh!" Hai Mo instantly bristled. "You and that Bai Yu are birds of a feather! You were just pretending to be so kind, you little adult!"

Xia Xiang stayed on Demon-Slaying Island for several days to help Hai Mo and the others adapt to the island. Originally, she planned to go into the deep valley, but news came that the Demon Realm was going to attack the Iron Dimension again, so this plan had to be temporarily shelved.

——Iron Dimension——

Jiuwu is still in seclusion, Xia Tian is guarding the protective magnetic field, and Lanling Wang has already led people to strengthen the defenses.

Xia Xiang rushed back; the Iron Guard and Jiu Lai were having a meeting in the conference room.

“This time, the Demon Realm is launching a massive attack on the Iron Dimension. They’re coming on strong, and we’ll probably have to send everyone to the battlefield to have any chance of winning,” Jiu Lai said worriedly. “I think we could also join forces with the governments of the Muggle world, at least to raise their awareness.”

"Excuse me for interrupting." Xia Xiang had just sat down when she heard him say this, and her fists were itching to punch him. "We are at war now. Exposing our world is tantamount to showing weakness to others. I disagree, and you are not allowed to mention it again."

Before Jiu Lai could say anything more, Xia Xiang interrupted, "As the acting leader of the alliance, I disagree!"

"East City Guard, West City Guard and South City Guard, prepare for battle. North City Guard, stay behind to guard the Iron Dimension."

"Commander, the Southern City Guard is always in charge of intelligence work, so it shouldn't be suitable for them to go to the battlefield," Xiu asked with some doubt.

"The South City Guard went to coordinate cooperation with the troops..." Xia Xiang explained.

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Zheng brought in Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Gan Zhaolie, and Ding Xiaoyu.

"Gongjin greets Miss Siwu," Zhou Yu said, bowing with clasped hands. The others, except for Ding Xiaoyu, followed suit.

Yan Zheng could only awkwardly cover his face. He had indeed said that, but these people were too persistent, so he decided to let them be.

Ding Xiaoyu didn't show it on her face, but she was actually so embarrassed that she was digging her toes into the ground.

"cough--"

Xia Xiang was taken aback and stood up to return the greeting with clasped hands.

"Thank you for your hard work, please have a seat."

When everyone else saw Xia Xiang stand up and clasp their hands in greeting, they all stood up and clasped their hands in return, saying thank you for your hard work. Only Xiu's movements were incredibly natural.

The scene was quite awkward at one point.

Xia Xiang eased the awkwardness by saying, "Zhou Yu, can you just call me Xia Xiang?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Siwu, the headmaster is still bothered by the fact that you lied to him, and he specifically instructed me to call you that," Zhou Yu said, looking unusually embarrassed.

"Whatever you want..." Xia Xiang wished she could bury her head in the ground, but her reputation as the acting leader of the alliance was the reputation of the Iron Dimension, and she absolutely could not lose face!

"Xiu, it's been a long time!" Zhuge Liang and Gan Zhaolie were both excited.

Sima Yi managed to keep from rolling his eyes, but his back teeth were practically grinding to powder. When did he fall to the same level as these two adorable little darlings?

I should have known better than to argue with Zhou Yu; at least Zhou Yu wouldn't be so foolish.

“Miss Siwu, according to the contract signed by the Space-Time Alliance, the Grand Principal has left behind the necessary guard forces. Seventy percent of our army’s strength can support the Iron Space-Time,” Zhou Yu said seriously. “However, in order to deal with the influence of space-time, the army will participate in the battle in three phases depending on the situation.”

"Siwu, our overall strength is a bit weak, so we can only send half of our forces," Zhuge Liang said with some difficulty.

“Yes, yes, it’s half and half,” Gan Zhaolie said happily. “Mr. Zhuge brought half, and I brought the other half. Brother Bei really gave us his full support this time.”

Zhou Yu thought to himself and realized that Zhuge Liang's plan was brilliant. They had brought three-quarters of their men, but only said it was half.

Although they sent fewer people, their proportion was higher than that of Jiangdong.

This move serves two purposes: first, to be wary of Jiang Dong; and second, to sow discord between Xia Xiang and Jiang Dong. It implies that Jiang Dong might not abide by the rules of the Space-Time Alliance, and it's also a way of feigning helplessness.

That was close! It seems he can't follow the principal's orders. A general in the field may disobey orders. He has to turn the tide!

"Mr. Zhuge, according to the first article of Chapter 159 of Volume 3 of the Space-Time Alliance, if a space-time that provides assistance to another space-time is in the midst of an internal war, no conflict shall be carried out during the assistance period, including but not limited to swearing, pulling hair, spitting, or other provocative acts. If the wrongdoer causes a brawl involving three or more people, the Alliance is obligated to punish the wrongdoer and help the non-wrongdoer party seek ten times the compensation."

Everyone: ......

Zhou Yu said seriously, "The original rule was five times, but Principal Liu insisted on increasing it to ten times. Jiangdong, because of Principal Sun and Miss Xia Xiang's relationship, absolutely supports the Grand Alliance. You're not going to provoke the Grand Alliance first, are you?"

Zhuge Liang: What did I say?

Sima Yi: Why is Zhou Yu using a musket to swat mosquitoes?

Xia Xiang tried to smooth things over again, saying, "Don't worry about the Silver Dimension. Four people from the South City Guard are on guard, and two people have been sent to Liu Bei's side to prevent any conflict. I will take full responsibility for any problems that arise."

“The issue of troop strength has now been resolved,” Xia Xiang said. “The commander of the South City Guard is responsible for coordinating the military affairs across the three timelines.”

"The North City Guard and Alliance Leader Jiuwu will remain in the Iron Dimension. The North City Guard will be responsible for training the reserve army for defense and reinforcement."

“Yes,” Bei Chenwei replied, standing up.

"Meeting adjourned," Xia Xiang said.
