During this time, Su Qing stayed by Emperor Wuchen's side, taking meticulous care of his injuries, which earned her praise from countless people in the Immortal Realm.
No matter how humble she was, Su Qing always felt that there was an invisible barrier between her and Wu Chen.
Su Qing blamed everything on Li Muge. If it weren't for Li Muge, Emperor Wuchen should have been hers. It was Li Muge's appearance that made her this way.
That's why Emperor Wuchen is so distant from her.
"Damn it, those useless Phoenix God Clan members, even with the restriction of the Heart Gu, couldn't kill Li Muge."
Su Qing wore a flowing fairy dress woven from moonlight brocade, her gentle face now filled with anger. She was the one with noble princess blood, so why was Li Muge still alive and getting in her way?
"I'm not dead, you must be very disappointed."
"Who?" Su Qing stood up, her face full of panic, her eyes frantically looking around.
The empty hall was filled with an eerie atmosphere.
Li Muge appeared before Su Qing in a red outfit.
Su Qing retreated in fear: "Li Muge, what are you doing here? This is the Immortal Realm! Are you crazy?"
“The Immortal Realm.” Li Muge narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and drawled, “Su Qing, sometimes I really want to see what your heart is made of? Why do you always have to go against me?”
Su Qing's face was pale, and her palms were slightly sweaty: "Li Muge, this princess is not trying to make trouble for you. This princess is just taking back everything that should belong to this princess."
"Everything." Li Muge's words were so cryptic that even she couldn't help but chuckle, perhaps because she found Su Qing in front of her utterly ridiculous.
"Su Qing, do you think that only if I, the Protector, return your life will it be fair? But alas..."
Li Muge raised his hand and gently stroked Su Qing's fair cheek: "Have you forgotten? This protector has already died once, so all past debts are no longer owed to me."
Li Muge had placed a barrier around the hall, preventing others from entering for the time being.
“Su Qing, my dear sister, now I, the protector, am asking you a question. You just need to answer, otherwise…” Li Muge pinched Su Qing’s cheek.
"You know, if you answer incorrectly, or if you dare to lie to this protector, then you'll lose your face."
"Li Muge, how dare you treat this princess like this? I am a princess of the Phoenix Clan."
Su Qing, enraged, uttered those words and was then violently slammed against the wall by Li Muge.
"Su Qing, why haven't you come to reality yet? In the face of absolute power, not to mention you, even the Phoenix God Clan must bow down to this protector."
"Li Muge, what exactly do you want?" Su Qing also dropped her pretense at this moment, and she stood up unsteadily.
"Where did Third Brother go?" Li Muge composed himself, stood in front of Su Qing, and scrutinized her with his gaze.
"I find it strange, Li Muge. How could I, a princess, know where my third brother, a grown man, went?"
Mentioning Su Xun, a flicker of panic crossed Su Qing's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. If Li Muge found out she had killed Su Xun, she would definitely not let her off the hook.
"Liar, Su Qing, weren't you poisoned? Then why are you still alive and well without my heart's blood?"
Li Muge narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, his voice as cold as ice in a snow-capped mountain.
"I, I, this princess..." Su Qing held onto the cabinet for support, which helped her stand more steadily.
"That's because I found a way to detoxify, otherwise I would have had to wait for my sister's three drops of heart's blood."
"Even if she dies, I'm afraid there won't be a day when my sister has a change of heart."
"Conscience, Su Qing, I've been patient enough with you." Li Muge suddenly raised his hand, and several strands of resentment swirled around Su Qing.
Controlling Su Qing to levitate in mid-air, Su Qing tried to circulate the spiritual energy within her body to resist, but as soon as the spiritual energy gathered, it was invaded by resentment and could not take shape.
Li Muge tied her black hair up with a simple red ribbon wrapped around it several times.
"Su Qing, I, the Protector, will ask you one question now: Where did Third Brother go?"
"This princess does not know."
As soon as Su Qing finished speaking, her arm was suddenly twisted into an odd position.
"Where did Third Brother go?"
"I...I don't know." The broken bone made Su Qing's breathing unsteady, and she was drenched in cold sweat from the pain.
"Where did Third Brother go? Otherwise, I, the Dharma Protector, will crush your bones inch by inch."
"I did not," Su Qing denied it outright.
Li Muge swung his bone whip, binding Su Qing's whip and lashing her to the ground.
"Pfft." Su Qing fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the floor.
"Su Qing, if you don't speak, I will kill you and turn your soul into a vengeful ghost for me to torment every day, shall I?"
Li Muge held the Phoenix Cry Sword in her hand, her heart filled with murderous intent. Even if killing Su Qing meant becoming an enemy of the Three Realms, she was willing to do it.
"No, Li Muge, you can't kill me!" Su Qing cried out in fear, bracing herself with one hand as she backed away.
"Why not? I've disliked you for a long time."
Li Muge wielded the Phoenix Cry Sword, unleashing its full killing power.
"No, Li Muge, you can't kill me, Princess. If you kill me, you'll never know where Su Xun is!"
"How dare you threaten this protector!" Li Muge grabbed Su Qing's injured hand and stomped it on the ground.
"Tell me where Su Xun went, or I'll kill you right now. But I wonder, Su Qing, are you willing to give up the position of princess or not?"
After Li Muge finished speaking, he did not hesitate to stab Su Qing in the abdomen with his sword.
"No, I'll talk, I'll talk."
When the fear of death came, Su Qing could no longer remain calm. Li Muge was right; she couldn't bear to give up her status as a princess.
She will marry Emperor Wuchen in the future.
She became the Empress of the Celestial Realm, second only to the Emperor, above all others.
I absolutely cannot die at the hands of Li Mu.
Can't.
"The Pagoda of Floating Pagoda, I left Su Xun there." Su Qing struggled to finish her sentence: "Li Muge, why aren't you going there? The Pagoda of Floating Pagoda is extremely dangerous."
"I'm afraid you're too late. Su Xun might have been eaten by demons, leaving not even a bone fragment."
The Floating Pagoda was where the Sword Master imprisoned demons in the past, and the demonic cultivators inside were all remnants from ancient times.
"Su Qing, are you crazy? Su Xun is your brother, why are you still so heartless towards him?"
"Hahaha." Su Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes flashing with jealousy: "Brother, what brother? He's determined to be Li Muge's brother."
"Since I can't take it, then Su Xun can only be my enemy."
"You." Li Muge's pupils turned red in an instant. Before saving Su Xun, she had to kill Su Qing, this heartless and insane woman, first.
"No, you can't kill me, help!"
Su Qing screamed in fear.
Just as Li Muge was about to cast a spell to shatter Su Qing's inner core, a zither melody suddenly filled the shop.
A faint blue light lingered around the severely injured Su Qing.
