When Lan Xin heard Qing Qi’s invitation, she couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing with a “puchi.”
“You haven’t seen me for a while, but Qing Qi, your sense of humor gets more interesting by the day.
Join you over there? Get stuffed in a bag with you? You’re dreaming too much.
Don’t forget, I was only caught because of you! Now that I’ve abandoned evil for good, do you really think you can drag me back down into the abyss?”
Qing Qi: “………”
“Alas, it seems my goodwill to help you has been wasted. When your little junior sister loses, don’t expect things to go smoothly for you.
Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Just as I catch you here, I can present you to Lady Liu Yun, showing my loyalty.
Let me show you how formidable I’ve become with my fully awakened Kirin bloodline!”
The second she finished speaking, a huge Kirin silhouette appeared behind Lan Xin.

Meanwhile, Ming Yue, wielding her clan’s unique concealment technique, was searching quickly for Jiang Xuan’s whereabouts as she hid perfectly.
She thought this person would be someone else’s husband now.
This was something she found completely unacceptable.
Although he was more powerful than her great-great-grandmother, Ming Yue didn’t plan on handling that. She only needed to find Jiang Xuan secretly and bring him back to the monster clan.
As Ming Yue continued her search, a golden figure suddenly appeared, not only revealing her hiding place but also blocking her path.
At that moment, a mocking voice sounded:
“The Phoenix aura… who’d have thought I’d meet one here.
Looks like you’re the weakest of the intruders. Perfect timing to k*ll some time.”
With the golden figure revealed, it was none other than Jin Lingyun.
Upon sensing Jin Lingyun’s aura, Ming Yue froze on the spot.
“Are you kidding? How come there’s a Golden Dragon here? And… even a Martial Emperor level Golden Dragon?
Seems there were crucial details I wasn’t informed about… why did nobody tell me about that…”
“You… you got the wrong guy, your enemy isn’t me, it’s someone else…”

In the heart of Nangong Manor, under the sky, Nan Gong Liuyun stood.
Only to see her slowly releasing her sword domain, covering the entire Nangong Manor.
Since those wicked women came knocking, nobody will leave.
Suddenly, an ethereal voice rang out.
“Girlie, we meet again.”
White Xi, currently in cold, heartless Leng Wushuang’s body, greeted warmly.
Being Jiang Xuan’s second disciple from ten thousand years ago, White Xi had reached peak Martial Emperor cultivation before then.
Last time, she subdued Nan Gong Liuyun and took Jiang Xuan away.
As they met again, Nan Gong Liuyun sneered,
“To think it would be you… Guess you’re the big boss behind those wicked ladies.”
“So what if I am? Girlie, if you don’t hand over my dear master, I’ll destroy this place.
Only I deserve to be treated like his wife!”
“Don’t count on it. If you can’t even protect his sect, being so weak, you clearly don’t qualify.”
Hearing this, White Xi narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Girlie, who exactly are you? Have we met before, way back?”
“You can tell me when you win.”
As their voices fell, two figures moved rapidly in midair.
Swords clashed leaving spatial collapse in their wake, the pressure causing massive shockwaves in the domain.

Underground Secret Room.
Seeing Jiang Xuan refuse her repeatedly, Xiao Hongxin lost patience, turning to aggressive means.
There, Jiang Xuan found himself pulled back onto the soft couch.
While Xiao Hongxin dominated his face.
“Young Master, previously, I was dead wrong, thinking you were just my prisoner.
So, when you interacted with Lady Liuyun, I felt devastated and loathed my own weakness.
That pain was unlike anything physical could bring.
Later, recognizing my weakness, I started relinquishing that attachment.
I kept telling myself… you belong to Lady Liuyun, and I’m merely a humble servant.
This change brought hope rather than wallowing in despair.
For instance, when Lady Liuyun was absent, I, a lowly maid, managed something unimaginable.
Your strength is far below mine; resistance or submission makes no difference. Stop futile struggles.
As long as you willingly serve me, I’ll respond gently and patiently.”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
Hearing Xiao Hongxin’s heartfelt confession, Jiang Xuan was somewhat stunned.
His reaction: Over the top!
Jiang Xuan knew his fate was sealed and responded honestly.
“That… Sister Hongxin, I understand your message…
But currently, I cannot serve you.
You know… Liuyun lets me rest after I hit my limits…
She must trust that’s the case, allowing you to stay and guard me…”
“So it’s like that. Then… how much of the Divine Recovery Pill is left?”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
“N…nothing, we used them all, sorry…”
“Pity… It was convenient, yet I forgot to grab more from the Xiao family.”
Relieved, Jiang Xuan spoke,
“Guess then it’ll be until next time… next time…”
“If nothing else, I’ll begin training.”
“No need, Young Master can find another way to serve me… through other means…”
Losing patience, Xiao Hongxin gently grabbed Jiang Xuan’s mouth.
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
During this scene, outside the battle neared its end,
Qing Qi and Lan Xin finally lost, defeated by Nan Gong Xinwan.
On the other side, Jin Lingyun tackled both Qing Qi and Nan Gong Xinwan.
Meanwhile, Senior Sister Luo Sheng faced off against Xiyao, locked tightly in combat.
But as Nan Gong Liuyun radiated Imperial Martial energy, Bai Xi’s waning spirit collapsed.
“How… How could you be an Imperial Martial? What’s going on here?”
“Surprised? This power is barely 0.1% of mine…”
“No… that aura… Is it you…?”
Before she could finish, Nan Gong Liuyun pointed at her forehead.
Next instant, Bai Xi’s aura vanished.
“I see… knowing everything isn’t always beneficial. Deplete your remaining energy, and sleep for a while. You’ll settle down.”
Nan Gong Liuyun’s victory marked the end of the night raid.
Inside the small courtyard, Nan Gong Liuyun tallied the captured bad girls.
“One, two…”
“Five wicked women plus three spirits? Blue has only a horn missing… Seems like a win.”
Lan Xin: “???????”
Golden Lingyun smiled.
“Young Kirin, beaten and missing a piece, such a loss.”
“I… I was ambushed… Me and Qing Qi were fairing well when they ganged up… it’s not fair!”
While Blue and Golden debated, Luo Sheng turned to Nan Gong Liuyun,
“There’s still that magical girl Xia Xiaoyu missing.”
“Yes… Seems Xia Xiaoyu feared for some reason, avoiding my wedding.
Since she declined, I guess it’s fine. We handled most cases, so I’ll imprison these bad girls and seek my husband.”
Elsewhere, underground room.
Xiao Hongxin lay dead or alive in the corner while Xia Xiaoyu appeared before Jiang Xuan.
“Xuan Brother, your fiancée protects you like this? Look where you ended up.
Join me, truly looking out for you.”
