Long'er smiled gently.
"I never break my word, you can rest assured!"
Li Huan said, "You've been lurking in the palace, spouting lies every day, deceiving everyone. How could I easily trust a woman as skilled at lying as you?"
Long'er's smile vanished instantly.
"Li Huan, don't be so stubborn! I infiltrated the palace and had no choice but to impersonate the Empress Dowager in order to obtain the 'Forty-Two Chapters Sutra'!"
"Those seven scriptures are definitely in your hands now. I can take your life at any time for them!"
That's right, Li Huan currently has seven copies of the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra," all of which are hidden in his electric tricycle.
Li Huan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, if you want the 'Forty-Two Chapters Sutra,' you must be polite to me. Otherwise, I will never reveal the whereabouts of the sutra, even if you beat me to death!"
Long'er held up two fingers: "I can spare your life, but I can make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Don't forget, I'm proficient in the 'Northern Darkness Divine Art.' If you dare to make a move, I'll drain all your internal energy and cripple your martial arts!"
Upon hearing this, Long'er's face showed a look of fear.
She witnessed firsthand how Li Huan drained Ao Bai of his inner strength while she was in the palace.
Long'er smiled again: "In the name of the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect, I swear to the heavens that as long as you send me back to the Divine Dragon Sect, I will never harm you. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"
Li Huan readily agreed, "Alright, I'll trust you one more time and send you to the Divine Dragon Cult!"
After saying that, Li Huan reached out to pick up Long'er.
"What are you doing?" Long'er asked warily.
Li Huan said, "What else can I do but carry you on our journey!"
Long'er said, "Go find a car."
Li Huan said, "Where am I supposed to find a car in this desolate wilderness? Don't ask for too much. I'm willing to carry you along the way, that's already pretty good!"
Long'er said, "I won't let you carry me, carry me on your back!"
"Alright!"
Li Huan carried Long'er on his back and strode forward...
...
Three days later.
Li Huan escorted Long Er and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Divine Dragon Cult.
In the past few days, Long'er's leg injury has healed and her waist has recovered.
Finally back at base camp, Long'er was in a good mood and took a bath and changed clothes.
Li Huan sat at the table as members of the Divine Dragon Cult brought over a sumptuous feast.
If there are no boxed lunches available, trying the food from the Divine Dragon Cult is a good alternative.
After taking a bath, Long'er changed her hairstyle and walked gracefully over.
Li Huan put down his wine glass and laughed, "This hairstyle suits you very well. Your previous 'club-shaped' hairstyle was really ugly and too exaggerated!"
Long'er said, "What do you know? Only the leader of our sect can have his hair styled in such a high way..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a believer rushed in to report.
"Reporting to the Master, the Heir Apparent of the Prince of Pingxi has arrived!"
Long'er was overjoyed: "The young master is here? He escaped the old nun's clutches?"
The follower said, "Besides the Crown Prince, there is also the special envoy of the Prince of Pingxi, Mr. Feng Xifan."
Long'er hurriedly said, "Quickly, invite the Crown Prince and the special envoy!"
Li Huan thought to himself, since Wu Yingxiong brought Feng Xifan to the Divine Dragon Sect, it meant that he had been rescued by Ake and returned to the Pingxi Prince's Mansion in Yunnan.
Now, Ake should stay in the Prince of Pingxi's mansion and lie in wait as an undercover agent.
Wu Yingxiong must have been sent by Wu Sangui to subdue Long'er!
Li Huan hurriedly said, "Master Long, I'll hide first."
Long'er asked, puzzled, "Why are you hiding?"
Li Huan said, "I don't want Wu Yingxiong to see me!"
Long'er asked in bewilderment, "You're an imperial envoy, why are you avoiding Wu Yingxiong? It's a good opportunity for you two to meet; you can return to the Prince of Pingxi's residence together afterwards!"
Li Huan said, "I have a bad feeling. It's best to hide first. Don't tell Wu Yingxiong that I'm here!"
Long'er reluctantly agreed: "Alright, you're such a strange fellow!"
Soon, Wu Yingxiong and Feng Xifan appeared, followed by a group of attendants.
Long'er warmly welcomed them and hosted a banquet in their honor.
Li Huan hid behind a pillar not far away, observing secretly.
Long'er said, "That night I went to the inn to rescue the young master, but I was ambushed and injured by the old nun and forced to retreat. I failed to rescue the young master in time, and I hope the young master will forgive me!"
Wu Yingxiong laughed and said, "Master, don't blame yourself. You have done your best. I won't blame you."
Long'er asked, "How exactly did the young master escape the old nun's clutches?"
Wu Yingxiong said, "To tell you the truth, I fell in love with the old nun's apprentice, Ake, at first sight. I persuaded Ake to help me escape and return to the Prince of Pingxi's mansion in Yunnan."
Long'er suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. The young master is not only resourceful, but also incredibly charming, which has won Ake's heart."
Wu Yingxiong chuckled, looking smug.
Long'er said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on gaining another confidante."
Wu Yingxiong became even more smug.
Upon hearing the conversation, Li Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Ake acted according to plan, pretending to like Wu Yingxiong, helping him escape, and successfully infiltrating the Prince of Pingxi's mansion as an undercover agent.
Wu Yingxiong said, "The leader is loyal to my father. In recent years, the Divine Dragon Sect has devoted itself to assisting our vassal state in recruiting soldiers and training various talents, and has made great contributions!"
"My father, the King, greatly admires the leader and specially sent Teacher Feng to accompany me here. He bestowed imperial wine upon the leader and conferred upon her the title of—Holy Maiden Protector of the Nation!"
Long'er smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Pingxi!"
Wu Yingxiong ordered, "Serve some wine!"
Soon, Long'er drank the imperial wine.
Li Huan knew that this imperial wine was actually poisoned.
"Hahaha..." Feng Xifan laughed, "I have long heard of the Divine Dragon Sect's Divine Dragon Maiden Skill, which makes one immune to all poisons and possesses pure power!"
