"Hehe, your master is really funny!" Xingyu covered her mouth and laughed.
"You're not allowed to say anything bad about my master! My master is very strong! Of course, he also has a terrible temper! Every time I say something bad about him, he beats me half to death..." Just thinking about Mo Chen's violent parenting style made Li Nezha shudder.
Upon hearing this, Xingyu covered her mouth and laughed, "You're such an interesting little guy! By the way, you just said you're human, right?"
Li Nezha nodded, "Of course! And I'm a powerful human! My master said my current abilities are already superior to my father's!"
Xingyu was speechless. This little guy kept mentioning his master. Was his master really that outstanding?
Xingyu looked Nezha up and down. Although he looked very young, he was someone she could trust.
Having made up her mind, Xingyu blinked and looked at Li Nezha with anticipation, asking, "Then can you help me?"
"Huh?" Li Nezha blinked and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, I am the princess of this sea. My name is Xingyu. Our sea race is facing a crisis of depleted spiritual energy. The only way to resolve this crisis is to open our forbidden area and obtain the divine artifact." Xingyu pleaded. "But for some reason, according to ancient rules, only sea races and non-sea races are allowed to enter the forbidden area together to reach the location of the divine artifact..."
"So, you mean you want me to help you retrieve the divine artifact from the forbidden area?" Li Nezha asked, blinking.
“Yes, as long as you can help us retrieve the divine artifact, our sea race will treat you as a respected guest! In addition, we can also grant you one wish!” Xingyu said sincerely.
Li Nezha's eyes widened, and he stepped in front of Xingyu, excitedly grabbing her hand and asking, "Can I have any wish?"
Seeing Li Nezha so close, Xingyu blushed instantly, turned her head away, and nodded shyly, "Yes, anything you want, I'll give it to you..."
"Haha! That's great! When do we set off? I'm ready at any moment!" Li Nezha said impatiently.
“Once the dragons arrive tomorrow, we can enter the forbidden area together,” Xingyu suddenly said, frowning.
"Yes, yes! Thank you so much!" Li Nezha danced with joy.
In this way, he can legitimately take the task assigned to him by Mo Chen!

On the other side, Mu Qing arrived in Chaoge City. Standing atop a high building, gazing at the magnificent palace where revelry raged every night, she took a deep breath: "Mu Qing, you must remember, he is no longer the Yin Xin who saved you. He is now just a foolish and incompetent king—Di Xin!"
"For your brother's sake, you absolutely cannot have any feelings for him anymore!" Mu Qing gritted her teeth and reminded herself.
Having said that, he leaped into the king's palace.
The wine reflected the candlelight and the beautiful woman's presence. Di Xin lay languidly in the arms of a beautiful woman, impatiently flipping through the bamboo slips in his hands.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, angrily throwing the group aside. "I'm not looking anymore! What a bunch of useless idiots! They have to ask me for permission for such a small matter! They're utterly useless trash!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Come, let me feed you a grape!" The beauty beside him said shyly. Looking closely at her appearance, her eyebrows and eyes were seven parts similar to Mu Qing's.
Di Xin's lips curled up, and he reached out with a lecherous grin to touch her eyebrows and eyes. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Qing'er, you're so obedient!"
"Hmph, the king only dotes on his sister and ignores Mu Mu. She's angry!" At this moment, a beautiful woman walked in, carrying fine wine. This woman, called Mu Mu, had a nose and mouth that resembled Mu Qing's.
Hearing Mu Mu's words, Di Xin chuckled and said, "Hehe, how could that be? I would never neglect you, Mu Mu! You are my most beloved beauty!"
"Hmph, you say you care about Mu Mu, but the King won't even give her a proper reputation!"
"That's right! Even Su Xian'er, whom Your Majesty brought back, is a concubine, yet you won't give us sisters a proper title!"
"Your Majesty is biased!"
Di Xin looked at their angry expressions, but just smiled and said nothing. Only he knew that among the three thousand beauties in the harem, every one of them who was called "Empress" was someone he wanted to take revenge on, while the one without a title was the one he liked the most!
No one knew what Di Xin was thinking...
However, at that moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Mu Mu and Qing Qing were so frightened that they hid behind Di Xin.
Di Xin was also startled. Because the candlelight was too dim to illuminate the entrance to the main hall, he couldn't see the person clearly. He immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my palace! Guards—"
Swish—
Before Di Xin could cry for help, a flash of light appeared, and two spurts of blood sprayed onto Di Xin's face. Immediately afterward, two screams rang out, and the two women, who had already become corpses, fell straight down.
Di Xin picked up the sword at his side and drew it, pointing it directly at the newcomer. "Who are you? Why did you kill my woman?"
"Your woman? This is your woman? Then I'd like to ask you, why—" Mu Qing stepped forward and said angrily, "Why do they all call other people by their names?"
The candlelight illuminated Mu Qing's stunningly beautiful face, highlighting her alluring figure; everything was so familiar and clear!
Di Xin trembled, the sword in his hand became heavy, and he threw it to the ground. His voice trembled as he looked at Mu Qing, "You, you are... Mu Qing?"
Mu Qing spoke coldly, "That's right! I am Mu Qing! The Mu Qing who died in the fire five years ago, whom you ignored!"
