Luo Qingshuang's smile deepened, and the frost-like white mist in the room seemed to obscure the sky.
I'm in charge of my own territory. It's none of Luo Qingshuang's business to interfere with my Yanjue Palace.
Ji Xiaoxiao raised her delicate hand, and a strong wind suddenly swept through the room, dispelling the bone-chilling cold.
"Put away your icy inner power. You've ruined every single thread of my Yanjue Palace. I'll make you pay a thousandfold." Ji Xiaoxiao parted her lips slightly, her words filled with contempt.
Luo Qingshuang paused, her small mouth slightly open, and the chilling air was drawn into her body.
"Tell me, what use is he? Is he worth trading Zheng Jincheng for?"
Luo Qingshuang's gaze lingered on Huang'er, her admiration and pride evident in her expression. "Huang'er is the strongest detective and cleanup expert among my Seven Color Guardians. I can lend Huang'er to you for a few days. With him around, things will be much easier for you."
Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold and sharp, and she suddenly understood the implication in Luo Qingshuang's words.
"Just now, when I came here, I happened to pass by Your Majesty's kitchen. The smell of burnt human flesh made me dizzy and I still feel a bit nauseous." Luo Qingshuang took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and continued, "Your Majesty, this seems to be your first time doing murder to cover up the crime. It seems you are quite inexperienced. If someone wants to investigate, Yanjue Palace is definitely the most suspicious and obvious suspect."
Luo Qingshuang took a deep breath, her expression a mixture of emotion and longing. "Your Majesty, please smell it. The stench of burnt human flesh is overwhelming."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Useless trash."
That being said, Ji Xiaoxiao was not a coward. She dared to break Zheng Run's neck cleanly and decisively, so she was naturally not afraid of anyone coming to make things difficult for her or seek revenge.
However, in turbulent times, it's better to avoid trouble. A moment of patience brings calm, and taking a step back opens up a vast expanse. The difference between the useless and the talented is obvious.
“Zheng Jincheng is the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has a noble status. One of your subordinates is not enough.”
The more the better, Ji Xiaoxiao must be meticulous.
Luo Qingshuang rested her chin on her hands, smiling as she looked at Ji Xiaoxiao, as if she were watching an unreasonable little brat throwing a tantrum, crying and begging for candy.
As it grew late, Ji Xiaoxiao had no intention of wasting any more time and energy dealing with them.
Luo Qingshuang is Zheng Jincheng's lawfully wedded Crown Princess, and from then on, she will be entangled with him for life, inseparable, and a community of shared interests.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoxiao hesitated about the deal with Luo Qingshuang.
"Would Luo Qingshuang really side with outsiders? Wouldn't she secretly frame me?"
The enemy's friend is the enemy; Luo Qingshuang cannot be trusted.
Ji Xiaoxiao ignored the previous conditions and forcefully asked Luo Qingshuang to leave.
The trick to bargaining is to play hard to get, compare prices from different vendors, and then turn around and leave. Ji Xiaoxiao's actions really startled Luo Qingshuang.
Luo Qingshuang knew she might not be a match for Ji Xiaoxiao, but she believed that many hands make light work, and with the top-notch Seven-Colored Guardians by her side, they could probably fight Ji Xiaoxiao to a draw.
In a battle between masters, it's either you die or I die; victory or defeat is decided in an instant. The Seven-Colored Guardians are like life itself to Luo Qingshuang. In a life-or-death duel, giving it her all, whether she lives or dies is anyone's guess, and Luo Qingshuang doesn't want even one or two of her Seven-Colored Guardians to be missing.
“If one isn’t enough, then two will do,” Luo Qingshuang said loudly, “Lan’er…”
"Whether it's two, three, or seven, I will not agree to it."
Keeping wolves by your side is tantamount to weaving a cocoon around yourself and inviting your own destruction.
Luo Qingshuang gritted her teeth fiercely, "Why?"
Ji Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Because you are the Crown Princess, Zheng Jincheng's wife."
Yes, Luo Qingshuang is the Crown Princess, Zheng Jincheng's lawfully wedded wife. Better safe than sorry. Regardless of her sincerity, Ji Xiaoxiao has to be wary.
"Just for this reason?" Luo Qingshuang's eyes revealed contempt. "Hu Miaotian, I think you're nothing special. It's a shame I once sincerely admired you."
Ji Xiaoxiao walked step by step to the bed and sat down with a thud.
"Your Highness, I am about to retire for the night. Please leave with your guards."
Is this a way of telling people to leave?
Luo Qingshuang's face flushed red with anger, and her frost-like aura instantly froze everything in the room.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to drink the penalty cup. Hu Miaotian, today I'll show you what it means to have a heaven beyond heaven, a person beyond a person, and a mountain higher than another."
At Luo Qingshuang's command, the seven-colored guards worked together seamlessly to attack Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao took off her heavy coat and casually placed it on the bed. With her eyes slightly closed, a faint layer of internal energy shield blocked all the attacks from the seven-colored guards.
Luo Qingshuang, her hand wreathed in white mist, slammed into Ji Xiaoxiao's internal energy shield. The shield swayed for a moment, then stood firm as a mountain.
Undeterred by setbacks, Luo Qingshuang unleashed a flurry of powerful punches, her fists enveloped in icy inner force. With Luo Qingshuang at the helm, the Seven-Colored Guards, fueled by her soaring fighting spirit, pressed on relentlessly, attacking Ji Xiaoxiao with unwavering resolve.
After warming up, Ji Xiaoxiao lightly touched the ground with her toes and left the wretched bed.
"I am ready, Luo Qingshuang. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. If you can bring me some joy, I might just take pity on you and spare your lives."
"How arrogant!"
Luo Qingshuang swept her leg, lifting the severed limbs and broken wood into the air, and then struck Ji Xiaoxiao with a palm. Ji Xiaoxiao remained calm and composed, returning the blow with her own palm.
"Bang!" The loud explosion startled everyone in the Palace of Beauty.
"Not good." Luo Qingshuang and the Seven-Colored Guards exchanged a silent glance, their hearts in perfect sync, secretly resolving that as long as they survived, they would always have something to do.
