Ronghua lifted her hand and violently threw that puppet monster straight into a room nearby. Upon realizing it was freed, and unable to experience any pains, the monster went right back onto its feet and started to attack Ronghua. Noticing that though Ronghua was resorting only to dodging the monster’s attack, she never stopped smiling, Bai Zi then thought that this monster must be doomed. This scenario really reminded Bai Zi of that old saying: the puppet monster was “digging its own grave.”Bai Zi watched silently, while Ronghua pierced through the monster’s heart with her hand. Her hand, drenched with blood, was holding the monster’s core. “How could that be?” thought Bai Zi. “A core of that size could only be produced by monsters in the Realm of Demons! How could the emperor there ever allow its subjects to be the puppet of a puny human?!”“That monster could transform and was not weak in its strength. It seemed to be the better ones in cultivation amon

Xia Pumo eventually felt the warmth from the living creature after he had suffered that much these days. Ronghua came close, hugged him in her arms, and let his head lean on her shoulder, which could make him more comfortable. One of her hands patted his back to pacify him, and the other was transferring spiritual power into his body continuously.Xia Pumo looked at her with his poor eyesight, tears appearing in his eyes. He was moved for her coming. He thought he was bound to die here, but she showed up at the critical moment.“Ronghua, I thought you would never come back. You left me alone there without a note, and I was unable to protect myself at that time.” He murmured in his mind.Ronghua looked down at him and whispered in his ear, “Sorry, I’m late. I shouldn’t have left you there. I apologize for my mistake.”“...Ronghua, you...” Xia Pumo had been a little bit resentful, but now he knew he trusted the right person. She woul

“Patriarch, here is the zither.”The patriarch of the imperial clan of Sword took over the zither. Looking at it, he asked coldly, “Can you exchange now?”Ronghua came to her senses and saw the zither. She took the zither quickly before people of the imperial clan of Sword could react.Xu Xin’s father looked sullen. He tried his best to endure, and he asked, with great rage, “What do you mean? Let go of my son now that you have taken the zither.”Ronghua stroked the zither, full of delight. But her coldness couldn’t hide.“I just let you take the zither here. When did I say I would let him go?”Ronghua looked at the patriarch of the imperial clan of Sword. It suddenly occurred to her that Xu Xin was genetically stupid.Xu Xin was shedding oceans of tears.“Heroine. Haven’t you said that you would let me go as long as you take the zither?”Ronghua stared at him, “When

Ronghua raised her hand and snapped her fingers to signal someone. Xia Poyang looked at her oddly. The next second, a black cloud of mist appeared beside them. Those who recognized him knew that he was Shenyang, one of Ronghua’s right-hand men.After the black mist dispersed, two men showed up. One man was dressed in black, carrying Xu Xin in his hand, who had been thrown away by Ronghua. Unexpectedly, Xu Xin had been caught by Shenyang and was obedient now. Maybe he had fainted from the torture by Shenyang, entirely held in the hands of Shenyang, without a struggle.All over his body was blood. Had it not been for his face, no one would have dared to say that this was Xu Xin.“Xu Xin?” Xia Poyang asked with doubt. This man was indeed Xu Xin, and his whole body was covered with blood, like the appearance of Mo just now.Seeing him, Murong Zhe was not surprised. He sneered. “Was this woman avenging Mo’s suffering? She did a good job

Murong Zhe and Xia Pumo reached an unknown place after Ronghua pushed them away.Xia Pumo grasped Murong Zhe firmly, and apparently, he had not come to himself from Ronghua’s push.Murong Zhe bowed his head and asked, “Mo, are you okay?”Xia Pumo just shook his head to show that he was fine. He closed his eyes tightly, with Murong Zhe’s clothes clenched in his hands. Murong Zhe had no idea that what was wrong with him.“Mo—” Murong Zhe didn’t know how to comfort him.“It was Ronghua herself that let us go. Sometimes you don’t need to know those things. Even if you learned, you couldn’t help her.”Xia Pumo still didn’t open his eyes but said, “... She pushed us away again.”It turned out that he was bothering himself with this.“Mo, there is always much helplessness in this world, and so is it for Ronghua. I told you that she is not an ordinary person and is different from us.”
