"Master, are we going to keep flying in the air forever?" Green Immortal asked, his voice trembling.
"Of course not. Once we escape the Demon Valley, we'll slowly descend." Yun Qingran opened her arms, feeling the wind at high altitude.
"Then how do we get down? Jump down?" Green Immortal looked down and swallowed hard.
"Of course not." Yun Qingran didn't know how to explain the principle of hot air balloons to him, so she simply didn't explain.
After flying for a while, they were almost at the village. To avoid frightening anyone, Yun Qingran extinguished the kerosene lamps one by one and slowly descended.
"It feels so good to be on solid ground." Green Immortal stepped out of the basket, stomped his feet hard on the ground, and then said happily to Yun Qingran, "Master, let's wander the world together."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Yun Qingran shook her head.
"Why?" asked the Green Immortal.
"I'm afraid Jun Molin will kill you!" Yun Qingran grinned.
"The Northern King of Beiyin, Jun Molin?" Green Immortal thought it was someone with the same name.
"Mm." Yun Qingran nodded.
"Master, you and the Northern Cold King are having an affair?" Green Immortal asked incredulously.
"Mm." Yun Qingran nodded.
"Master is awesome! He actually managed to defeat the Northern Cold King Jun Molin." Green Immortal gave her a thumbs up.
"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key." Yun Qingran pressed down Green Immortal's hand.
"Master, shall we go find His Highness the Northern Cold King now?" Green Immortal was a little excited. He had always admired the invincible and highly skilled Jun Molin.
"Let's not go looking for him for now; we're going to Southern Chu." Yun Qingran was very worried, wondering how the Northern Yin marriage delegation, led by the fake Yun Qingran, was doing.
"Southern Chu?" Green Immortal asked, puzzled. Why go to Southern Chu?
Since entering the territory of Southern Chu, Nangong Yehe had been taking pleasure in teasing the Northern Yin marriage delegation, while Yun Xiyue had been taking pleasure in teasing Yun Qingran. The two delegations would travel for one day and rest for two days.
That day, the Southern Chu delegation kept provoking the Northern Yin delegation, while the Northern Yin delegation remained patient and did not retaliate.
"When can I go back? I don't want to live this miserable life for even a day longer." Yun Qingran looked out the window at the two delegations about to fight, feeling like crying.
At the time, the high priest only said that he would disguise himself and shrink his bones to become Yun Qingran, and lead the Northern Yin delegation to Southern Chu. He didn't mention that Nangong Ye and Yun Xiyue, that hateful couple, would be on the way.
He dared not act rashly and clash with Nangong Ye, fearing that trouble would expose his identity, so he could only endure it. These past few days, he had been suffering from the complaints of the Northern Yin marriage delegation and the torment of the adulterous couple, and he was about to reach his breaking point.
Just as he was feeling extremely worried, an angry voice rang out behind him.
"How dare you say that? Look what you've done to the Northern Yin marriage delegation! Everyone is complaining, and you've completely disgraced Northern Yin."
He turned around in horror and saw that two people were standing behind him, one of whom looked exactly like him—it was Yun Qingran, whom he had impersonated.
"Yun Qingran, how did you get here? No, no one can escape from Demon Valley, you're fake." He shook his head in disbelief.
Yun Qingran was clearly taken back to Demon Valley by the High Priest, how could she possibly be here?
"That's Yun Qingran. Gu Er, you're dead meat." Green Immortal shook his head at "Yun Qingran".
"Old Man Green Immortal, what are you doing here?" Gu Er looked at Old Man Green Immortal in disbelief.
Green Immortal is not allowed to leave the valley, so how could he be here with Yun Qingran?
"Of course they escaped," said the Green Immortal smugly.
"Impossible, no one could escape from Demon Valley." Gu Er shook his head in disbelief, and then something flicked into his mouth while he was speaking. He quickly tried to dig it out, but the medicine dissolved instantly in his mouth, and there was nothing he could do. He looked at Yun Qingran in horror, "What did you give me?"
"Poison, a poison for which only I possess the antidote. Once this poison takes effect, you will turn into a pool of blood within three days, dying a death of unbearable agony." Yun Qingran crossed her arms, her tone nonchalant.
"Green Immortal, save me!" Gu Er ran to Green Immortal and knelt down with a thud, begging for help.
“Gu Er, now I’m on her side. Begging me won’t help. I advise you to be pragmatic and choose your path wisely.” Green Immortal looked at Gu Er with a smile.
Gu Er looked conflicted. After a long while, he looked at Yun Qingran with a look of grim determination and said, "I, Gu Er, swear to serve Demon Valley to the death."
"Then go die." After Yun Qingran finished speaking, she flipped her wrist and a dagger appeared in her hand. The next second, the sharp dagger pierced into Gu Er's chest.
Gu Er disguised himself as himself, completely disgracing Bei Yin, which is a capital offense.
Gu Er spat out a mouthful of blood. He never imagined that such a delicate young girl could be so steady, accurate, and ruthless.
With a thud, Gu Er collapsed into a pool of blood.
Yun Qingran sheathed the dagger, wiped the blood off it, and then put it back on her person.
The old man with the green hair stood there dumbfounded. He asked, "Master, if I had resisted you back then, would you have killed me too?"
Yun Qingran thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Probably."
Green Immortal: …………
She had observed that the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Sect were very similar to those used by the assassins on those occasions. If she was not mistaken, the assassins who had previously tried to assassinate the emperor, Jun Molin, and the delegation were members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
From this perspective, the Heavenly Demon Sect and I are on opposite sides. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to myself; if I don't kill them, they will come to kill me later.
"You Northern Yin people are all so despicable." The mocking laughter of the Southern Chu delegation came from outside the window.
"Green Immortal, please deal with this corpse. I'm going out to take a look." Yun Qingran's face darkened immediately upon hearing Nan Chu's words.
On her way here, she heard a lot about what had happened between the two countries' diplomatic missions in the past few days, and it made her so angry she almost exploded. She vowed that she would teach those bastards a lesson.
"Alright." Green Immortal nodded.
"Watch your mouths." The Northern Yin delegation glared at the Southern Chu delegation, their eyes blazing with anger. They were getting increasingly out of line.
"You lowly people deserve only to be our slaves." The Southern Chu delegation's words became increasingly outrageous, and they even stretched out their feet and kicked the Northern Yin delegation member in the knee, forcing him to his knees.
"Don't push your luck too far." The members of the Northern Yin delegation had bloodshot eyes.
"So what if we bully you? Your envoys have all been taught a lesson by His Highness Ye." The Southern Chu delegation member said as he stretched out his foot, trying to place it on the head of the kneeling Northern Yin delegation member.
