Yue Jinghua fished out a colorless and odorless ointment from the fat man’s embrace. The Canglong Continent is home to a myriad of bizarre species, with every part of the Dark Beasts and spirit wood’s skin, bones, fur, flowers, fruits, stems, and seeds, showcasing unique peculiarities. What Pang Luo gave her was somewhat akin to the modern woman’s beloved perfume, extracted from a Dark Beast called the Fragrant-tailed Weasel, whose tail fragrance is quite unique, comprising dozens of varieties. Yue Jinghua didn’t hesitate and immediately applied the ointment to her body. "Don’t just take it without asking. That was supposed to be a love token for my future wife. You should at least ask if I had any conditions," complained Luo, his eyes bulging out, while Yue Jinghua pulled a hairpin from her hair and swiftly unlocked the shackles on her hands and feet. "Big sister, you’re too awesome. Not only can you pick locks but also do alchemy. Why don’t you join our Mercenary Group? I’d let you be the captain," exclaimed Pang Luo, almost drooling over Yue Jinghua’s skills which he thought were too good to be wasted on a mercenary. "Give me the badge," as if possessed, Pang Luo handed over the Captain Badge. After handing it over, Pang Luo shouted, "Wait, I wasn’t finished. Men and women working together relieves fatigue, but let’s be clear, I manage the inside, you manage the outside. Also, my condition is..." "First, find out the real reason behind the damage to the Dark Beast Egg, I’ll take on this task. When I have some spare time, I’ll help you solve it, consider this badge as your payment," said Yue Jinghua as she swiftly tied her long hair into a ponytail and then pulled out several shiny black crystals, smirking. Just before evening, the prison guards on duty swapped with the daytime ones. "General Tianwei is hosting a wedding reception at the Lie Family Mansion. If we finish our shifts on time, we can still make it there to drink a few cups," "We’re not so lucky, having to guard the prison. Ironic, isn’t it? A mother marrying for the second time while her daughter is locked up in the Heavenly Prison," Having said that, the prison guards gave a disgruntled look toward the prison. "Stop talking, the rest of you go inside and patrol, don’t let anything go wrong," said the warden sternly. As usual, the prison guards cooperated well, with two guarding the entrance while the others went towards the north and south sides. A deafening explosion suddenly came from both the north and south sides of the prison. Billowing black smoke rushed forth, prompting the other two guards to leap up, blowing a sharp and long whistle that made several Six-Eared Dogs respond to the sound and dash towards both ends of the prison. In the midst of the fireworks, Yue Jinghua, who had used "Pu’s Concealment", patted a Meat Worm, "Not bad at all, the mine-laying job really suits you." She passed by the two guards with apparent ease while several yellow-furred dogs sniffed around but suspected nothing, rushing straight to the deepest parts of the prison. Using two rice grain-sized Black Death Crystals to leave the Heavenly Prison, Yue Jinghua did not head straight for the Lie Family Mansion, as there was still a bit more than two hours until dusk. Before that, she had a more pressing matter to attend to. After receiving the news of Princess Sha Fei’s miscarriage, she had the Sin Parrot find a way to get close to Liu Palace Sha Fei and was determined to bring back every piece of news from the palace today without missing anything. Just moments ago, the Sin Parrot transmitted a new message via Spiritual Sense. In Liu Palace of Sha Fei, under the golden sunset, the wind blew the slanting shadows of the willow branches. Several Vincetoxicum vines clung to the willows, striving towards the direction of the setting sun. Underneath the clear lake, a beautiful patterned lake snail lay lazily on the shore, basking in the sun. Several stern-faced palace maids and guards were stationed around Liu Palace. Today, the security at Liu Palace was extremely tight, as if something was being secretly brewed. Nearby the lakeshore, two figures appeared. One figure, just from the silhouette, gave off an impression of being tall and burly, akin to the divine stature of a War God, radiating a faint murderous aura, evidently a seasoned warrior. The other figure was petite and exquisite, like the delicate willows by the lakeshore, leaning against the man. Upon closer look, this petite and exquisite woman, with her willow-leaf eyebrows and rosy cheeks, and a hint of annoyance in her beautiful eyes, had a swollen abdomen. Judging by her appearance, she was none other than Princess Sha Fei, who was rumored to have prematurely given birth. "That foolish monarch has already gone to Lie Family Mansion with the Empress Dowager. As soon as Fa Xiaoyi makes his move, we will be able to reap the benefits as bystanders," Sha Fei’s voice was melodious, like a lark singing. However, to the ears of a Sin Parrot Snail, her voice felt ice-cold and bone-piercing, laden with countless murderous intents. "Yes, no one would have guessed that you were never poisoned, and the child in your womb is not Fa Xiaoyun’s, but rather the flesh and blood of I, Ao Beizhan. Qingyin, for the past ten years, we have been separated and lived a life of hidden endurance. Today, we have finally reached the moment we’ve been waiting for," said the man as he slowly turned around, revealing a rugged Northern face, distinct from the gentle and mellow visages of the South. The man’s face was like chiseled from knives and axes, his gaze sharp and chilling, causing one to shiver at a glance. Nobody would have expected that Ao Beizhan, who was once driven into disgraceful exile in Shang Kingdom and was the nightmare of countless families, had always been connected to the illustrious Princess Sha Fei. It all started ten years ago, when Ao Beizhan was still a scorned orphan, he had serendipitously met Sha Fei, who was only fifteen at the time. Their union faced humiliation from the public and obstruction from families, even Xuanji Academy had interfered multiple times. Ao Beizhan was further pursued by several scions who were infatuated with Sha Fei, and he accidentally ventured into Senluo Sea. Without Senluo Sea, without striking a deal with Jue Shang, Ao Beizhan would still be the one oppressed forever, never able to turn his fate around, a lowly student of the Outer Court. No one knew of his experiences in Senluo Sea, but when he returned blood-soaked from there, he had transformed into the Unconscious War Corpse Ao Beizhan. After fleeing Shang Kingdom, he was separated from his lover until years later when he contacted Sha Fei again under the identity of a prince of Dragon War Empire, but by then Sha Fei had already been married into the royal court. There were already rumors in the palace about the incest between Fa Xiaoyun and the Consort. Sha Fei had endured silently for many years, her heart had grown cold towards the Emperor’s affection, and upon reuniting with Ao Beizhan, they secretly engaged in an affair and conceived a child. "I have already deployed troops outside Polo City. As soon as Fa Xiaoyi assassinates Fa Xiaoyun, we will immediately send troops under the name of Dragon War to besiege them. By then, you can use the child as a pretext to assume regency. Once your child is born, you can then officially assume the role of regent of Shang Kingdom under the Dragon War Empire," said Zhan BeiAo in a deep voice, and Sha Fei lowered her eyelids silently, nodding without saying much. After whispering to each other for a while, Zhan BeiAo stood up and headed towards the outer city on foot. Sha Fei adjusted her hair bun, a shrewd glint flitting across her eyes, seemingly already envisioning the scene a few days later when she would don the golden phoenix long robe and ascend to the regent throne. Suddenly feeling a chill on her neck, she heard a crisp voice by her ear: "Princess Sha Fei, this time, you have truly brought disaster upon me."
