"No, Wanwan—"
Ye Lanyin watched as her daughter was first placed on the sacrificial altar, and broke down in tears, crying, "Wanwan, no!"
The regent tried to go up, but was stopped by Emperor Yun Ao.
"The Regent!"
The regent stopped in his tracks.
"It was no accident that I was able to reach this position. You thought I didn't know you were secretly trying to save your daughter?"
"If you dare to step forward, I guarantee that the child's mother will be next!"
The Regent looked at Ye Lanyin. Even though he knew he had the ability to save Wanwan, he couldn't ignore Ye Lanyin.
Ye Lanyin shook her head, "Go save Wanwan."
"Lan Yin..."
Hehe, this is so much fun...
Ye Lanyin was still somewhat devastated when a long-dormant voice suddenly rang in her ears.
Xiao Rui'an suddenly looked at Xiao Wanwan on the sacrificial altar and was surprised to see her jumping and hopping around on it.
Xiao Chengyun felt that this scene was very familiar.
He felt like he'd heard the phrase "That's so much fun" somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.
"set fire!"
As soon as the sound fell, Ye Lanyin was so frightened that she tried to run over, but was stopped by the soldiers of Yun Ao Kingdom.
"Halt! No one is allowed to pass without His Majesty's order."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin's eyes flashed with an unprecedented killing intent, and she seemed to vaguely see a faint red light. However, everyone was focused on Xiao Wanwan and did not notice it.
As the Regent clenched his fists, a powerful surge of spiritual energy converged from all directions, forming a massive vortex.
Everyone present was shocked. Upon seeing this, General Yao exclaimed excitedly, "Regent, you, you, you..."
He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a moment.
He was so shocked that words could not describe it.
Having known the Regent for so many years, how could I not have known he possessed spiritual roots?!
Damn, the Regent hid it so well!
Sensing the powerful aura surrounding them, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting the soldiers who had captured Ye Lanyin.
The soldier was thrown three feet away by the sudden force before crashing heavily to the ground with a loud thud.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Yun Ao immediately shouted at the eunuchs on the sacrificial altar, "Set it on fire!"
Upon receiving Emperor Yun'ao's order, the eunuch immediately dropped the torch, and the fire instantly spread rapidly along the surrounding straw.
Ye Lanyin cried out in fright, "No, no, Wanwan, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."
The Regent Prince touched the ground with one foot and quickly flew into the air. The moment he saw Xiao Wanwan's body being burned, his heart jumped into his throat.
"Wanwan——"
He then leaped towards her.
Just at this critical moment, a muffled sound suddenly ripped through the sky.
"Ah—" The scream was deafening.
Baili Tang was so frightened by Yun Aodi that he didn't know what to do. He looked at the person rolling around on the ground in horror.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Emperor Yun Ao didn't know what was happening, but his whole body felt like it was being roasted on fire, and the pain in his skin was unbearable.
He was clutching his own neck, breathing heavily.
"I...I'm in so much pain..." His face was contorted, and his voice was hoarse.
Baili Tang squatted down to help Canglang Emperor, but his body temperature was so hot that he fell to the ground in fright.
"Your Majesty, do you have a fever?"
"Wait a minute, everything was fine just now!"
Eunuch Huai was terrified. What if something happened to His Majesty, and the Ouyang family found out and stormed in?
He dropped his whisk and immediately went to help the Azure Wolf Emperor.
Just like Baili Tang, the moment they touched Canglang Emperor's arm, it felt like their hands were being roasted over a fire, burning them terribly.
The veins on the Azure Wolf Emperor's forehead bulged, and sweat dripped from his forehead down his cheeks onto the ground.
Just then, Xiao Wanwan, who should have been charred on the sacrificial altar, let out a hearty laugh.
She rolled and jumped around happily in the fire.
Even the regent, who was about to rescue her, froze in place.
Yao Qianshu stood there dumbfounded, holding his sword.
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
People who should have been burned alive are now happily dancing in the sea of fire.
Emperor Yun Ao, who should have been watching the show, was now inexplicably rolling around on the ground and howling.
Tell him what exactly is going on.
Ye Lanyin stood below the sacrificial altar, wanting to lift Xiao Wanwan down, but the moment her hand touched the fire, the pain made her pull back.
The Regent narrowed his eyes, recalling the last time he had arrested the black market leader, the Minister of Justice, and imprisoned him in the imperial prison.
When he was personally interrogated, he said that Xiao Wanwan was a witch.
"Regent, that child is a monster. I clearly scalded her with hot water, but it was I who got burned."
'Regent, it's alright if you kill your subordinates, but that vixen cannot be allowed to live...'
Thinking of this, he looked away.
"Madam, don't be afraid, Wanwan will be alright."
Ye Lanyin, her eyes red from crying, grabbed the Regent's hand, "Husband, are you serious?"
"real!"
It seems that Wanwan still has many skills she hasn't shown yet.
Xiao Chengyun remained rooted to the spot, trying hard to recall where he had seen this place before. After a long while, he shouted in shock.
"I remember now, I remember, Grandpa—"
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu looked left and right, then grabbed Xiao Chengyun and asked, "Where is Grandpa? Who is he?"
Xiao Chengyun tried to calm himself down, "Little brother Qian Shu, don't worry, your sister is alright. Quickly tell your father not to go chop firewood..."
