Xing Shuishui caught the arrow and used its momentum to jump down. She pulled the arrow out and threw it back at the young man. “My sister says we should be polite when visiting. So here’s your arrow back.” Enhanced with magic, the arrow flew swiftly. Before the young man could react, it grazed his…

When Li Guanyu and Li Guanhang arrived, the courtyard was in shambles. The jade flower stood eerily in the center, with no one knowing what had just happened. Xing Shuishui and He Liansheng lay unconscious on the ground. As the flower dispersed, red threads wrapped around both their wrists, connecting to the Jade Flower King’s…

He asked rudely, “When can you leave?” Xing Shuishui asked, “Why?” He Liansheng looked at her expressionlessly. Xing Shuishui touched her neck and thought this person was quite strange. She hadn’t complained about He Lianshui, yet he complained about Xing Shengsheng first. What an uncouth person. After everyone got dressed, they set off for the…

After sleeping around the campfire for a night, Xing Shuishui felt energized the next day. The group traveled smoothly through Luodan Kingdom using the ruler’s travel documents.

Li Guanyu finished reporting about Fengdu City and sat alone under the moonlight to meditate. When she sensed someone approaching, she gripped her sword, only relaxing when she saw it was Xing Shuishui. Xing Shuishui had run all the way there, panting as she crouched down to catch her breath. Her face was pale. Li…

He Liansheng would be a tough obstacle to overcome. Xing Shuishui tried many ways to lower his guard and make herself appear harmless. Shortly after He Liansheng returned to his room, Xing Shuishui went to knock on his door. Before her hand touched the door, it opened on its own. She nearly fell forward but…

After returning from Fengdu City, Xing Shuishui appeared dazed. Li Guanyu thought she had been frightened down there and came forward to comfort her by patting her head. The yin-yang candles had extinguished with He Liansheng’s arrival. The situation above ground wasn’t much better, with corpses everywhere. Li Guanxing asked, “Is it resolved?” He Liansheng…
