The man approached with a grin, his hand reaching for Nangong Ruichen's shoulder, but before he could even grasp it, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. A deep, bone-revealing gash appeared on his wrist, blood gushing out. The man cried out, clutching his wound, his eyes filled with rage as he glared at Nangong Ruichen. In the darkness, only Nangong Ruichen's cold, sharp eyes were visible, his gaze like icy thorns, sending chills down one's spine.
"Big brother, this man is someone we can't afford to mess with, let's run!"
The man's voice trembled; he was so frightened he was about to wet himself.
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Nangong Ruichen swiftly moved in front of him and forcefully dislocated one of his arms. "Ah!"
After hearing the painful screams, the man called "Big Brother" sobered up considerably. His eyes turned cold, revealing a bloodthirsty glint. "You idiot, get out of the way!" he said, raising his hand with a faint glint of light in his palm before slamming it down hard on Nangong Ruichen.
"Hmph! Overestimating yourself."
With a gloomy face, Nangong Ruichen spoke in a low voice. Suddenly, a white light flashed before his eyes, and the man who had been replaced as the eldest brother was tackled to the ground.
The other man, not caring about anything else, scrambled away in a panic, and Nangong Ruichen did not chase after him, sparing his life.
Nangong Ruichen walked a few steps to the woman on the ground, looked her up and down, and then called out, "Miss, wake up, are you alright?"
However, the woman lay motionless with her eyes tightly closed. Nangong Ruichen looked at her carefully and saw that her arms were covered in blood. He then wiped the blood splattered on his face. Helpless, Nangong Ruichen hesitated for a moment and could only take her back for treatment.
After Nangong Ruichen left, two women emerged from a small wooden house not far away. It turned out to be Baili Yuechan and the woman in red who often appeared by her side. They looked around.
The woman in red said grimly, "The plan has succeeded. Now it's up to you. Tian Haoze has already taken the betrothal gifts to the South China Sea Glazed Palace. If you really want to get the Demon Lord, you must kill Nangong Ziyan."
"Don't worry! She's the incarnation of a snow wolf demon beast. She's ruthless and good at disguising herself. We'll definitely succeed this time."
Baili Yuechan assured him that her intense jealousy made her completely forget Wuguzi's instructions and her cooperation with Dongfang Yifei. All she knew was that everything stemmed from Nangong Ziyan, and that once Nangong Ziyan was dead, everything would be resolved.
"The Snow Wolf Demon Beast is indeed vicious, but I feel that many times, wherever Nangong Ziyan is, demon beasts and monsters dare not approach. Although Nangong Ruichen brought the Snow Wolf back, whether he can kill Nangong Ziyan is still unknown. If this plan fails, you must find an opportunity to administer your love potion as soon as possible."
Every word the woman uttered was filled with hatred for Nangong Ziyan.
"Don't worry! Using the love potion was part of the plan. If the Demon Lord can't marry Nangong Ziyan, who would want to kill Nangong Ziyan more than me?"
"It's best if you think that way. I'll let you know as soon as I have any good news. I'll be going now."
After the woman in red finished speaking, she instantly flew away.
Tian Haoze watched the woman in red leave from the shadows and quickly followed. What angered him was that he couldn't get too close and hadn't heard their conversation. However, he was almost certain that the woman in red was Luan Ying. This time, he had his chance, and he wouldn't lose her again. He wanted to see if the Luan Ying in the Netherworld Palace was real or not. Luan Ying had returned to the Netherworld Palace two days earlier than he expected. When he returned to the Netherworld Palace with the betrothal gifts, he had caught a glimpse of Luan Ying. She was in a hurry to do other things, and he didn't have time to ask any questions. He already found it strange, and tonight he happened to see her enter Baili Yuechan's room. To find out the truth, he had to succeed tonight.
After the woman in red left, Baili Yuechan revealed a cold smile, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an icy light.
Although she was already used to Dongfang Yifei's behavior, this time his actions had completely crossed her bottom line. She had already developed the antidote and successfully refined it. After taking it, there were no abnormalities in her body. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened tonight. Feeling the abundant spiritual energy flowing continuously within her body, Baili Yuechan revealed an inscrutable smile.
Suddenly, she felt something approaching from behind, so she turned her head sharply and her body automatically assumed a posture ready to attack.
Standing behind her was Xiao Nian.
Baili Yuechan was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her attack gesture. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. How could Xiao Nian be here, and appear behind her so silently? Was she too engrossed in her thoughts, or was it Xiao Nian...?
Baili Yuechan's sharp gaze was fixed on Xiao Nian, her cold eyes seeming to see right through her.
An unusual aura surrounded the two of them. A cold wind blew by, and after a deathly silence, Xiao Nian suddenly spoke: "Princess, the Imperial Advisor wants to see you and Young Master Dongfang, but neither of you are at the inn, so I had to come out to look for you."
"If Dongfang Yifei isn't at the inn, then he must have gone to cultivate. Is Master at the inn?"
Baili Yuechan still looked at Xiao Nian with suspicion.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Advisor has been waiting for a long time. If Your Highness does not return, the Imperial Advisor will soon become angry."
"Let's go then!"
Baili Yuechan stepped forward, but just as she was about to leave, an unusual aura appeared in the air.
