Feng Qingcheng used what was available and went to the largest medicinal garden in the palace. She found many poisonous herbs and used all the idle people to teach them how to make poison.
Of course, she couldn't possibly tell the demons the formula for the poison, distribute it among them, and assign each demon a task.
Finally, she went to the palace storehouse and surprisingly found charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter.
That's wonderful, it's truly heaven's help to her.
She also taught the demons how to make gunpowder.
She felt that her good luck had returned.
However, the number of these demons is rather small.
If we could find the secret passage in the palace and send in more demons to help, that would be great.
If her spatial dimension were open, with the assistance of several spirit pets, she would surely be able to accomplish this task.
But this is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"Master, this is what your husband wrote to you."
Hua Baibai handed her a letter.
Feng Qingcheng was overjoyed.
With trembling hands and an excited heart, she opened it.
The letter was short, and it was clear that it was written in a hurry, yet it expressed his longing for her and his worries about her in great detail.
Waaah, Long Moyuan, a day apart feels like three autumns!
We've been separated by so many autumns.
Feng Qingcheng carefully put away his letter and then wrote him a reply.
She believed that with the wisdom of Long Moyuan and Master Chen Xuan, they would definitely be able to subdue all those demons; it just would take time.
She wrote down some of the most important combat methods from Sun Tzu's Art of War for Long Moyuan, including the feint attack.
"Send the letter out, make sure it reaches Long Moyuan."
The head of the guards took the letter. "Rest assured, sir, I will deliver it even if it costs me my life."
"Go."
After the head of the secret guards left, Feng Qingcheng began to inspect the palace.
She wanted to utilize every resource that was otherwise unavailable.
"Hua Shengsheng, can you give me two days to consider this?"
Hua Shengsheng never expected that even someone as powerful as Hua Yaorao would compromise.
Actually, its biggest interest is to see Hua Yaorao cry.
"Hua Yaorao, isn't two days too long? What if you run away?"
The flower is so beautiful, it has always been thinking about it.
To conquer the demon race and obtain the Flower Fairy is its greatest dream in this life.
Hua Yaorao said, "How about one day then?"
Hua Shengsheng knew it was proud and aloof, and it was already quite difficult to make it bow its head.
"Fine, I'll wait. I'll give you one day. If you don't surrender by this time tomorrow, don't blame me for massacring the palace."
"OK."
Hua Yaorao knew that Hua Shengsheng meant what he said, so she felt relieved and went to discuss it with Feng Qingcheng.
"It's already quite an achievement to have gained even one day. We'll start the battle tomorrow, using a feint attack."
"A feint attack?"
“That’s right. If this million-strong army were to enter the palace all at once, they could flatten it with their bare feet. The only option now is to disperse them, dismantle them, and defeat them one by one.”
Feng Qingcheng told Hua Yaorao the method.
After all, since we've taken their fragments, it's only right that we offer them some military strategy as a gift.
Besides, she didn't write "The Art of War".
Hua Yaorao had always fought alone, believing she could destroy the entire demon race by herself. But now, seeing a million-strong army, she suddenly realized how ridiculous her idea was.
This shows how important it is to cultivate influence.
It's just that it realized it too late.
Next, Feng Qingcheng further refined the description of all the demons in the palace.
A strategic method of using groups of ten demons to kill tens of thousands of demons.
"Hua Shengsheng knows you can't possibly break its barrier, but it didn't expect us to use smoke signals. Tomorrow, when the smoke signals are raised, we'll coordinate an attack from the inside and outside."
Hua Yaorao listened attentively.
It thought Feng Qingcheng was really amazing, even more amazing than its husband.
Even her husband wouldn't have thought of such a fighting method, right?
"You are the most brilliant strategist. With you in the human race, it's truly terrifying," Hua Yaorao said admiringly at the end.
"How terrifying is it?" Feng Qingcheng sneered.
"I fear you will wipe out other races."
Feng Qingcheng said, "Just because I'm a piece of trash?"
"Even if you become a useless person, you can still use all the resources and connections to be invincible. Who would dare to underestimate you?"
The arrogant demon king actually gave her such high praise; Feng Qingcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That night.
Feng Qingcheng was so exhausted that she was about to collapse.
The amount of gunpowder and poison is still too small.
She followed up on the whole process.
But after all, she had lost all her spiritual power and was no different from an ordinary person; she would get tired too.
She was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open several times.
Hua Baibai couldn't help but urge her to rest, but she took some energy-boosting medicine and continued to supervise.
Seeing this, Hua Yaorao personally joined the gunpowder-making team.
Hua Yaorao is very capable; one demon can do the work of a hundred. Whatever she is assigned to, she always gets done quickly and perfectly.
Feng Qingcheng was very satisfied with this.
A proud king, after his rough edges were smoothed out, finally learned that he needed to work hard.
Not only that, Hua Yaorao would also use magic to revive Feng Qingcheng every now and then when she was about to collapse.
Feng Qingcheng finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.
She was so tired that she couldn't resist the call of sleep.
Hua Baibai personally escorted her back to her room to rest.
“A Yuan”.
When Hua Baibai covered her with a blanket, her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Hua Baibai was shocked. Did her master miss her husband?
If only her husband could enter the palace.
"Lord Hua, we have found a secret passage leading to the outside."
Hua Baibai was overjoyed and wanted to shake her master awake, but she was worried about her health.
“The mistress misses her husband. Go and bring in that man named Long Moyuan yourself.”
"yes."
It dared not make decisions about the other things, but it was bold enough to call Long Moyuan in to keep its master company.
Feng Qingcheng was sleeping soundly.
She seemed to be dreaming about Long Moyuan.
"Ah Cheng." A familiar voice came from beside her, and Feng Qingcheng was overjoyed.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw the thin and frail Long Moyuan. Instantly, tears welled up in her eyes.
"A-Yuan, is that you?"
Is she dreaming?
Long Moyuan held her hand tightly and said with tears in his eyes, "It's me, Acheng, I've come."
They had long suspected that she had lost her spiritual power, which was why they had lost contact, but they hadn't expected her to become so weak.
"Long Moyuan, sob sob, do you know that I think about you every day?"
Feng Qingcheng got out of bed, wrapped her arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly.
Great, she finally found him.
She was actually terrified.
She was afraid she would never find him again.
"I miss you too." Long Moyuan kissed her cheek and choked up. "Acheng, being apart is too painful. I will never be apart from you again."
Waaah.
The two wiped away each other's tears, and finally, they naturally expressed their longing for each other through physical affection, reflecting on the days they had been apart.
“Acheng”.
“A Yuan”.
He called her name affectionately over and over again, and she responded with the same passion.
Finally, Feng Qingcheng collapsed from exhaustion.
Long Moyuan was heartbroken.
She's so weak now, and he still can't control himself from wanting her. He deserves to die.
Long Moyuan infused her with spiritual power.
He discovered that even with his spiritual power, she could not absorb much, or even any at all.
This won't do.
If he could, he would give her all his spiritual power.
As long as she is safe and sound.
When Feng Qingcheng woke up again, she saw Long Moyuan using magic to warm her body, and she was deeply moved.
"Fool, you'll exhaust your spiritual power doing that."
Long Moyuan said, "It's all my fault for not being able to control myself. Your body is so weak, yet I still clung to you. I'm no human being."
Feng Qingcheng smiled shyly: "If you can control yourself, is that love? If you don't desire my body, then I'm worried that you might have fallen for someone else."
Long Moyuan took her pulse: "Acheng, stop talking, or I'll lose control again."
Feng Qingcheng stopped teasing him.
Even the dual cultivation between the two couldn't restore her spiritual power. She had only absorbed a tiny bit of spiritual power, which was like a drop in the ocean and utterly useless.
“Ah Cheng, I’m trying to use reverse cultivation to transfer spiritual power to you. Try to see if you can open up the space and release those guys.”
"good."
In critical moments, having one more person means having one more source of strength.
Long Moyuan used a reverse spirit-absorbing technique, and Feng Qingcheng cooperated.
Finally, with their combined efforts, the space was barely opened a crack, allowing the three handsome men with thumbs to come out, but the little pigs and the others got stuck and couldn't get out.
"Master, we're here to help you."
The three heroes of Thumb, with the combined magic of humans, demons, and beasts, helped Long Moyuan widen the gap, allowing the little pigs to squeeze through and finally emerge.
"Waaah, this pig is exhausted! Master, I told you not to meddle in other people's business, and now you're suffering!"
"Waaah, Master is already like this, and instead of comforting him, you're provoking him. Do you want to change masters?"
"Little piggy, that's not fair of you."
Xiao Hei and Xiao Long scolded the little pig together.
The little pig pouted its lips: "This divine pig won't stoop to your level."
It carried many treasures to fawn over Feng Qingcheng: "Master, drink the spiritual water."
Feng Qingcheng was overjoyed.
In crucial moments, we still have to rely on our little piggy.
Xiao Hei and Xiao Long were furious. Why didn't they think of this move?
After drinking the spiritual water, Feng Qingcheng felt that she had gained some more spiritual power, but it was still far from enough.
It seems the price paid this time was truly terrible.
"How are you, Master?" the little pig asked worriedly.
Feng Qingcheng said, "It's still not enough. It seems we need to work harder."
"You've already drunk so much spiritual water!" the little pig pouted. "Call Chen Xuan over and have him train you in cultivation."
Feng Qingcheng: "Is this alright?"
"If he's willing to pass on all his cultivation to you, that should be fine, right?"
Is it really okay to use someone's kindness to demand repayment?
“Master, if you’re too embarrassed to say it, let Thumb Three Generals say it. If they hadn’t begged you, you wouldn’t have done it.”
Feng Qingcheng said, "Your master is not that weak."
They're clearly useless, but they refuse to admit it.
The little pig disagrees; its owner is destined to be a shining star in the future.
It has to tell Thumb Three Handsome Men about this itself.
"Acheng, how is it?" Long Moyuan personally supervised her as she drank all the spiritual water in her Qiankun bag. As for what she discussed with the spirit pets, he knew nothing.
Feng Qingcheng smiled and said, "It's alright. I believe it will recover soon, and we might even turn this misfortune into a blessing in disguise."
Long Moyuan was skeptical: "Really?"
Feng Qingcheng smiled and kissed his cheek: "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Master, the time that Flower King and Flower Saint have agreed upon has arrived." At this moment, Flower White entered.
Feng Qingcheng said, "Tell the Flower King to light the Wolf's Edge Smoke to signal."
"yes."
After Hua Baibai withdrew, Feng Qingcheng added a few more spirit pets to her original battle plan.
Fortunately, the spirit pets did not lose level because of her.
Clad in armor, Feng Qingcheng stood before all the demons, ready to lead them into action.
“You ten sisters, set up the Ten Stars Formation and attack from the east gate.”
"Little pigs, you five, set up the Five Star Formation and attack from the west gate."
"You ten men, carrying poison, will attack from the south gate."
"You ten men, take the gunpowder and attack from the north gate."
...
"Listen up, all you demons! Our goal is to defeat tens of thousands of enemies with ten of your own! So after you have confuse the enemy, each squad should leave only one demon to guard and continue to confuse the enemy demons. The rest of you should quickly retreat back to the palace and join forces at the East Gate. First, we will annihilate the enemy demons at the East Gate, and then return to the West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate. Don't worry, we also have help outside. As long as we manage our time well, it will be no problem for one demon to kill ten thousand demons."
"Your Excellency is wise."
"We will win this battle."
The demons were very confident in Feng Qingcheng's battle plan.
Everyone shouted slogans.
At this moment, the smoke signals have already been raised.
Feng Qingcheng narrowed her eyes slightly, pointing her sword towards the outside of the city.
"Warriors, kill them!"
At Feng Qingcheng's command,
All four city gates were opened simultaneously.
...
"King of Flowers, the time has come. Have you thought it through?"
Outside the palace, Hua Shengsheng was confident of victory.
Hua Yaorao smiled coldly: "Hua Shengsheng, I have considered it, I will not surrender."
"Not surrendering? Heh, you're such a selfish bastard."
"Hua Sheng Sheng, I will personally take your head and hang it outside the palace, so that all the demons you have bullied will come and trample on your corpse."
"King of Flowers, since you won't listen to advice, then don't blame me for massacring the palace."
"I'll wait."
"Soldiers..."
Before Hua Shengsheng could finish speaking, the city gates opened, and the demons inside charged out.
Hua Yaorao flew down from the city wall and fought alongside them.
A mere handful of demons dares to resist it?
Hua Shengsheng sneered, "Flower King, are you looking for death?"
Hua Yaorao laughed: "How will you know it won't be you who dies if you don't try?"
Hua Shengsheng is located at the East Gate, where the military strength reaches 300,000.
In terms of sheer numbers, one stomp could crush several of the Flower Fairy Demons to death.
However, it did not expect that the ten lowly white roses would unleash the Ten Star Formation taught by Feng Qingcheng, which was incredibly powerful.
Its soldiers were powerless to resist.
With the addition of the powerful Hua Yaorao, thousands of its soldiers were killed in the blink of an eye.
Hua Shengsheng narrowed his eyes: "I want to see how long they can hold out."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Reports have come from the other three city gates that they have all encountered a powerful attack and are unable to retaliate."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Tens of thousands of demons are attacking from different directions behind us. They are here to support the Flower King."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Flower King and the others actually have gunpowder! The power is terrifying! If they explode once, thousands of our demons will die."
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Feng Qingcheng is a master of poisons. Many of the generals at the South Gate have been poisoned and are unable to fight."
Hua Shengsheng never expected that, given Hua Yaorao a day, it would come up with such a perfect battle plan.
No, it's because of Feng Qingcheng!
Feng Qingcheng?
What kind of demon is it? How can it be so intelligent? I've never heard of it before.
