Ning Rongrong looked at the slender figure in front of her, her face grim, and kept backing away.

She only realized after stepping out of the valley that it was already surrounded by people from the Martial Hall, and the person leading the Martial Hall's experts to surround the valley was her good friend whom she hadn't seen for five years.

Xiaorou!

Xiao Rou's words shocked everyone present. It was impossible for Xiao Rou to kill Tang Gou San!

Huo Long, realizing what was happening, looked at his somewhat unfamiliar goddaughter Xiao Rou and, without even wondering how she had found the place, quickly said:

"Xiaorou, what nonsense are you talking about? Tang Gousan is yours..."

Xiao Rou walked into the valley in her crystal-clear high heels, hands on her hips, and retorted angrily:

"That disgusting piece of trash tricked me into offering a sacrifice. If I don't kill him, who should I kill!"

In the memory that Zhou Xingdou had modified for her, Tang Gou San deliberately set up a trap to trick Xiao Rou into sacrificing herself when she was level 60 and in need of a soul ring, so that she could break free from the constraints and obtain a 100,000-year-old beast ring.

Zhou Xingdou saw through Tang Gou San's conspiracy, allowing him to see Tang Gou San's true colors, and even went to great lengths to revive his benefactor.

Yu Dagang was nearly insane; the recent shocks had brought him close to collapse.

Now that Tang Gou San's death has been confirmed, he instantly broke down, his eyes bloodshot as he rushed towards Xiao Rou, muttering incoherently:

"How could you kill Gou San? How could you do this!"

"Yu Dagang, you good-for-nothing, you even tried to hurt my goddaughter!"

Fire Dragon could no longer tolerate Yu Dagang's madness. His two powerful, rounded legs lashed out like whips, striking Yu Dagang directly in the face and sending him flying several meters.

This whip kick jolted Yu Dagang awake, his madness subsided, and he lay on the ground, tears of regret streaming down his face.

Seeing Yu Dagang with tears streaming down his face, Huolong felt a pang of pain in her heart. If it were in the past, how could she have been willing to hit Yu Dagang?

But today she had too many troubles, and with her already fiery temper, seeing Yu Dagang trying to attack her goddaughter, she couldn't hold back her emotions and exploded.

However, she had no time to care about Yu Dagang right now, and looked at Xiaorou somewhat anxiously, asking:

"Xiaorou, quickly tell your godmother, is it true that you just said Tang Gousan set a trap to deceive you?"

Xiao Rou rushed into Huo Long's arms, hugging his firm, slender waist, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:

“She is truly my godmother. I had already sacrificed myself for Tang Gou San, but thanks to my benefactor, I was able to be reborn.”

Dai Baihu, who had been comforting Ma Hongju, couldn't help but retort at this moment:

"Impossible! Gou San is the most pure and innocent person I've ever met. How could he do such a thing!"

Xiao Rou's tears soaked the fire dragon's clothes as she sobbed, "..."

“You have no idea that Brother Gou San has already been possessed by an extraterrestrial demon and is already dead. Uncle Tang Ritian was also killed by Tang Gou San with a hidden weapon when he was questioning Tang Gou San. I witnessed it with my own eyes.”

Seeing Xiaorou's pitiful state, Huolong's eyes flashed with emotion, and his maternal love overflowed. He hugged Xiaorou and kept comforting her:

"Good riddance, good riddance! Xiaorou, don't be sad. Your godmother will take care of you from now on."

Only Ning Rongrong remained conscious and immediately spoke up:

"Don't believe her, everyone. She has already led the people of the Martial Hall to surround this place. She has probably already defected to the Martial Hall."

She had personally witnessed how respectful the people of the Martial Hall were to Xiao Rou, and how Xiao Rou acted as their leader, not daring to overstep her bounds in the slightest.

"What! We're surrounded?"

Dai Baihu was immediately terrified, and his arm around Ma Hongju tightened unconsciously, making Ma Hongju's plump face turn red and she couldn't breathe.

Fire Dragon's expression also changed, and he released his hands that were comforting Xiao Rou, saying in disbelief:

"Xiaorou, you..."

Xiao Rou did not refute Ning Rongrong's words, but rather readily admitted:

“Godmother, I did indeed pledge allegiance to the Martial Hall, but the Martial Hall is no longer the same. The person who resurrected me is none other than the current Venerable One of the Martial Hall.”

Moreover, the people outside are not there to surround you. His Majesty was worried about me coming out on my own, so he sent so many people to protect me.”

Fire Dragon's expression was complicated; he didn't know how to sort out the matter.

In this life, thanks to Zhou Xingdou's intervention, the Fire Dragon's family was not wiped out by the Martial Hall. The Fire Dragon and the Martial Hall did not actually have much deep hatred; he was just dragged into it by the people around him.

Even so, she still found it hard to accept that her goddaughter had become a member of the Martial Hall, and that the fate of the Dean and others was still unknown.

But at this moment, Dai Baihu didn't care about anything else and roared:

"You've betrayed us and joined the Martial Hall, you deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Baihu released Ma Hongju, who was almost suffocating, and attacked Xiao Rou without holding back.

In terms of hatred, no one here can compare to him, after all, the originally stable throne was lost because the Martial Hall abolished the imperial system.

This rendered all his efforts for the throne futile.

The promise that Hong Ju would immediately become empress after the decree was issued has completely fallen through.

How could he not hate that!

The fire dragon, which had been wavering, suddenly came to its senses the moment Dai Baihu made his move. Its expression hardened, and its well-proportioned jade leg instantly slammed towards the oncoming Dai Baihu.

Dai Baihu was ultimately no match for Huolong. Even though Huolong was not as imposing, his level was no joke. His kick was almost devastating, sending Dai Baihu flying.

Huo Long's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her spirited eyes shone with determination as she said:

"Xiaorou is my goddaughter, I trust her!"

Yu Dagang also got up from the ground and looked at the fire dragon that he was once very familiar with, but felt a little unfamiliar with it.

And now she actually dared to hit him, so he couldn't help but question the fire dragon:

"Fire Dragon, are you going to collude with the Martial Hall?!"

When confronted by his lover, Huolong's eyes blazed with fury:

"Yu Dagang! I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Remembering how he risked his life to save Yu Dagang and how much he had sacrificed for him and Tang Gou San, only to be met with this attitude in return, how could the hot-tempered Fire Dragon not be furious?

At this moment, Zhu Youzhu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up:

"I also believe in Xiaorou."

As she spoke, Zhu Youzhu walked towards the fire dragon and stood beside Xiao Rou, showing her support.

Having been blasted away by the fire dragon, Dai Baihu finally managed to stand up. Upon hearing Zhu Youzhu's words, his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Zhu Youzhu with a puzzled expression:

"Youzhu, what's wrong with you...?"

After all, Zhu Youzhu was Dai Baihu's fiancée. In Dai Baihu's eyes, even if she had discovered his secret with Ma Hongju, Zhu Youzhu could only stand on his side because of her status as his fiancée.

It would have been better if Dai Baihu hadn't asked; once he did, Zhu Youzhu could no longer contain her anger:

"Shut up, you slut with homosexual tendencies, go with your fat pig!"

This matter was directly exposed, and whether it was Huolong, Xiaorou, or Ning Rongrong, they all focused their attention on Dai Baihu and Ma Hongju.

After all, although the two had acted intimately just now, the panicked crowd hadn't thought about it carefully. Now that Zhu Youzhu had directly exposed it, how could they not be shocked?
