Everyone had thought that the battle would take a long time and that many people would be sacrificed. But no one expected that they would not only kill the nightmare beast, but also return unscathed.
Everyone just thought that it must be Xiao Jiyuan's appearance that changed the situation of the battle.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Jiyuan.
The people of Daxiao were very fortunate to have such a brave and resourceful prince.
At the same time, the news that the Four-Nation Alliance had wiped out the Nightmare Beast quickly spread throughout the continent.
The Nightmare, a notorious beast that had remained unkillable for millennia, was slain, shocking the world and stirring up a new feeling. If the four nations were united, their power would be unstoppable. Fierce beasts, divine beasts, any beast that committed evil could be annihilated without a second thought.
Once this terrifying thought spread, it quietly took root in people's hearts. Later, when everyone heard that the organizer of this incident was actually the Fifth Prince of the Great Xiao Kingdom, ordinary cultivators silently thanked him in their hearts.
This also laid a certain foundation for Xiao Jiyuan to unify the entire continent later.
After this incident, everyone returned to their own countries.
To ordinary cultivators, what Xiao Jiyuan did was for the greater good.
But for the rulers of the other three countries, it is a taboo.
Originally, the four countries were almost the same, but now a fifth prince who worked for the people and the world suddenly appeared in the Great Xiao Kingdom, which directly broke the balance. This made the rulers of the other three countries begin to move.
The happiest person was Xiao Zun. He had always known that Xiao Jiyuan was excellent and had been quietly cultivating him in private.
Unexpectedly, the first time Xiao Jiyuan appeared in front of the entire continent as the fifth prince of the Great Xiao Kingdom, he did something that shocked everyone.
This made Xiao Zun even more satisfied with Xiao Jiyuan.
He had never doubted his own judgment, and now it was confirmed. Xiao Zun had prepared many rewards before Xiao Jiyuan returned, and was ready to have the palace servants deliver them to the Fifth Prince's residence as soon as he returned.
When the Queen, the eldest prince and the third princess heard the news, they gnashed their teeth in hatred but were powerless to do anything.
"It's all because of that bitch Xiao Qingran."
The third princess blamed everything on Xiao Qingran.
"Before Xiao Qingran came back, we were all fine. As soon as she came back, everything started to go in a bad direction."
The eldest prince nodded seriously: "Yu'er is right, it's all because of Xiao Qingran. Why is this woman only good to that bastard Xiao Jiyuan? Yu'er and I are also her nephew and niece."
The Queen glared at him and said, "Be careful what you say next time. Although the Fifth Prince's mother died in childbirth, he's not the bastard you're talking about. If he were a bastard, what would you be? I hope you won't say such things in the future. If someone accidentally overhears and tells your father, the three of us will no longer have any place in his heart. Don't think that just because your mother is the queen of a country, you can do whatever you want. You must understand that your grandfather's family is too weak, and you are not the only prince. Although the Fifth Prince has no mother, his family is very powerful. Plus, your father has favored him. Now with Princess Shiran, he has every advantage."
The eldest prince said unconvincedly, "Then what my mother means is that I won't compete with the fifth prince?"
The Queen and the Third Princess glared at him at the same time, their eyes filled with disgust.
With this kind of intelligence, even if he becomes emperor in the future, this country won’t last long. The two looked at the man in front of them, feeling an indescribable disdain in their hearts.
The queen felt a sense of disappointment.
If her son was a little more outstanding, she wouldn't feel so powerless every time she faced Xiao Jiyuan.
Just when the queen was secretly feeling sad about her son, a palace maid suddenly came to report that the imperial concubine had arrived.
When the queen heard the words "Imperial Concubine", her face suddenly changed.
"Tell that woman that I'm busy and can't see you."
Thinking of what happened at the enthronement banquet, the queen's eyes erupted with uncontrollable anger.
"What's this bitch trying to do?"
Soon, rumors spread in the palace that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine were not getting along.
Just as these rumors were spreading, Xiao Jiyuan returned.
Xiao Zun personally stood at the palace gate to greet him, which made everyone smell something unusual.
The father and son met and talked about what happened in the Warcraft Forest.
We chatted for most of the day.
"Why didn't your aunt come back with you?"
After the father and son had dinner, Xiao Zun suddenly thought of Xiao Qingran.
"My aunt said she's used to being free and doesn't want to stay in the capital forever. She wants to gain more experience while she's still young. If there's anything going on at home, she'll come back."
Xiao Zun nodded: "Your aunt is a person with ideas."
Xiao Jiyuan nodded without comment.
"Then let her be! The Imperial Palace of the Great Xiao Kingdom will always be her home."
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Zun only cared about Xiao Jiyuan. In Xiao Zun's eyes, Xiao Qingran was just a pawn to help Xiao Jiyuan. It didn't matter where she was, as long as she could help Xiao Jiyuan.
And since Xiao Qingran separated from Xiao Jiyuan, she has started a training mode of traveling across the entire continent with Feng Qing and Shangguan Jing.
Three months later, even when wearing a loose skirt, Xiao Qingran's belly was still visible.
The three of them gradually slowed down their pace.
"Xiao Qingran, we're almost in Fengcheng. Why don't you stay there to give birth? I'll ask the best midwife in the city to help you."
Feng Qing was nervous all the way, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Qingran.
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.
"Xiao Qingran, just listen to us this time!"
Shangguan Jing was also worried that something might happen to Xiao Qingran.
As Xiao Qingran's belly grew bigger, she was terrified all the way, fearing that something might happen.
"Well, I've been to where I needed to be in the past few months."
Xiao Qingran was worried that the twins would be born prematurely. Giving birth on the road would definitely not be smooth, and she naturally didn't want her children to have any accidents.
The three of them came to Wind City.
Feng Qing took Xiao Qingran and Shangguan Jing to live in the City Lord's Mansion.
Feng Qing's father is the Lord of Wind City. He is the only son in his family. Because he is so outstanding, the Lord of Wind City hardly cares about his son and allows him to do whatever he wants.
Seeing his son bring back two daughters, one of whom seemed to be about to give birth, he rubbed his hands with joy. It seemed as if he saw the scene of himself becoming a grandfather.
However, after Feng Qing explained Xiao Qingran's situation truthfully, City Lord Feng's face fell.
"Qing'er, you're not a child anymore. Since this girl has a husband, the other one shouldn't be! How about..."
Feng Qing's mouth twitched. "Dad, please stay the same as before and don't interfere with me. Miss Shangguan and I are just friends. We don't have any sexual intentions at all. You can't just match us up."
