"The palace is hosting a banquet to entertain people from Qinglong Academy. Why did they invite me?"
On this day, Xue Huan received an invitation from the palace. After reading the contents of the invitation, she couldn't help but ask the visitor.
The eunuch who delivered the invitation said, "Miss Xue is the Crown Prince's fiancée, so she is naturally qualified to attend such a banquet. Miss Xue, please be sure to come and don't be late."
After the eunuch left, Xue Huan frowned at the invitation, feeling the eunuch's excuse was a bit far-fetched. The palace banquet couldn't be hidden from the Empress, the head of the harem. And the Empress's attitude towards her didn't seem like she acknowledged her as her future daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed "Xue Huan" to stay in Pengcheng for nearly a decade.
The reason why the Queen sent people to Pengcheng to pick her up was just because she had no choice but to pretend. In fact, she had no intention of bringing her back at all.
Otherwise, she had been back for so many days, but there was no movement from the Queen.
It was obvious that the queen didn't want to see her at all.
Therefore, this post was definitely not sent by the Queen. Then, who sent it?
When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Xue Huan was not afraid of a small palace banquet. If she couldn't figure it out, she would just put it aside.
She has already established her foundation and can begin preparing to remove the curse from Yuan Xi.
Poison is easy to deal with, but spells are a bit troublesome, so she needs to make more preparations.
Two days later, on the day of the palace banquet, Yuan Xi sent a carriage to pick up Xue Huan. The carriage was tall and spacious, with a comfortable interior, but its exterior looked ordinary and had no markings, making it difficult to recognize it as a carriage from Prince Yan's palace.
Yuan Xi put a lot of thought into pretending not to be familiar with Xue Huan.
Since there was a ready-made carriage, Xue Huan did not refuse.
Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. She wasn't sure what she would encounter, so she didn't bring Xiaoyu with her and went alone.
Ya Gu was very worried. Although she knew that her young lady was very capable, she still couldn't help but worry.
Xue Huan comforted her, "Don't worry. Even if something happens, I can always run away if I can't win. You forgot, I brought a lot of teleportation talismans with me."
She had demonstrated the effect of the teleportation talisman in front of Ya Gu.
Upon hearing this, Ya Gu felt a little relieved. She walked her out the door and watched her get on the carriage. She didn't turn around until the carriage was far away and completely out of sight.
Xue Huan rode a carriage to the palace gate. Once inside, she had to rely on her own legs.
Walking in the long corridor under the guidance of the palace servants, Xue Huan's spiritual consciousness spread out. In this world of body refining, she didn't have to worry about being discovered by others when she released her spiritual consciousness. She could roam freely and happily, as if a large area of the sea was contracted by her, a fish. It was so cool.
Hmm? What is this large animal that's rapidly approaching me, looking like a dog but not a dog, a lion but not a lion?
Doglionmon? Or Liondogmon?
Forget it, just call it Lion Dogmon, I think that's more catchy.
The lion-dog beast bared its teeth, with red light in its eyes, and rushed over like a madman.
There were high palace walls on both sides of the corridor, and if the lion-dog beast rushed over, it would definitely meet her head-on.
Or maybe the lion-dog beast was coming for her?
Xue Huan suddenly understood the purpose of the person who sent her the invitation.
The lion-dog beast had already run right in front of her. The palace maid leading the way screamed in fear and ran away, leaving her behind.
Xue Huan stood there motionless, as if she was frightened, but in fact, she was waiting for the lion-dog beast to run to her.
"Ao!" The lion-dog beast, which was as big as two lions, roared and pounced on her. Its teeth were ferocious and its tongue was scarlet. If she was bitten by it, she would be skinned alive even if she didn't die.
Xue Huan raised her hand and instantly cast a fireball spell. A scorching fireball as big as a washbasin hit the head of the lion-dog beast in front of her.
The inside of the fireball was a beautiful golden orange color, and the outside was pure white. The temperature was extremely high, and as soon as it appeared, it burned the air and distorted it.
After hitting the lion dog beast's head, its hair and flesh instantly melted into ashes, leaving only a skull.
The lion-dog beast died without even a scream.
The flames spread to its entire body and burned it in the blink of an eye, leaving only a skeleton and a pile of black ashes on the ground.
The palace servant who ran away did not hear the expected scream from Xue Huan, and could not help but look back. This look almost scared him to death.
The ferocious and manic lion-dog beast was burned to death by Xue Huan in a short time!
She could actually release fireballs out of thin air. What kind of monster is this Xue Huan?!
Xue Huan blew on her fingers and looked at the palace servant: "Eunuch, why are you running? Keep leading the way. Otherwise, since this is my first time in the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to find my place."
Palace maid: “…”
He was afraid that Xue Huan would throw a fireball at him as well, so he ran back the same way he ran away, even faster than before.
"General—" A boy of eight or nine years old, dressed in the clothes of a prince, ran over. When he saw Xue Huan walking towards him in good health, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The palace maid leading Xue Huan knelt and saluted, "This servant greets the Eighth Prince."
The Eighth Prince ignored him and ran to the skeleton at the back. Realizing that it was his general, he burst into tears: "Wow... General... My general, how did you become like this... Who killed you! I will avenge you!"
He ran back and glared fiercely at the palace attendant who was still kneeling on the ground: "Tell me! Who killed my general?"
Without waiting for the palace servant to answer, he glanced at Xue Huan who was standing beside him: "Is it you? How dare you kill my general? Kill her and let her be buried with my general!"
The latter sentence was directed at his attendant.
Among his four attendants, one walked out, with strong fluctuations of true energy surging through his body, and his cultivation was close to the Lingwu stage.
Xue Huan thought to herself: The person behind the scenes is really trying hard. First, there was the crazy lion-dog beast. When that plan failed, here comes a "master" whose strength is close to that of the spiritual martial arts stage. He must kill her.
The Queen? That's unlikely. Even if the Queen wanted to kill her, she wouldn't use such obvious and crude methods that people could see through her at a glance.
This simple and rough painting style is very similar to Yuan Yingxuan's technique.
Why, you can't wait to jump out and commit suicide right after you've been cured of the poison?
Xue Huan flexed her wrist and didn't mind sending another person to hell.
The Zhenwu Realm in this world is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the Zixiao Continent. The cultivation level of the eunuch in front of her is equivalent to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which is much higher than her current level. However, a person's strength is not entirely linked to the level of cultivation.
It is also related to the body's energy reserves, eyesight, moves, methods and even weapons.
If a real fight breaks out, this eunuch will never be her match.
However, just as Xue Huan was about to make a move, a voice came from behind her: "What are you doing?"
