Xiaosuisui tilted her head, puzzled. "He hasn’t gone to see the King of Hell yet, so how can he be dead?" Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er were speechless. Wang Dongxue pursed her lips, finally unable to hold back her curiosity. "Suisui, what do you mean? Did he say something to you?" Zhu Xiuxiu and the others had arrived late because they were protecting the Emperor, so they had no idea about the brief conversation their precious girl had with the Left Envoy from Nanjiang. Xiaosuisui pouted. "He told me if I didn’t behave, I’d be sent to meet the King of Hell..." She then reenacted what happened, and her little impersonation was perfect! The aunts exchanged knowing glances. The Ji Youzhi brothers looked somewhat baffled. They didn’t know about Xiaosuisui’s sharp tongue, so they couldn’t understand why their sisters-in-law had such conflicted expressions. The young Emperor, however, grew suspicious. After all, this girl wouldn’t even kneel to him properly. Thinking of this, the young Emperor held Xiaosuisui even tighter. This little rascal is a treasure, I must hold her more! While this was happening, Ji Youyuan and the Great Wizard had reached the critical point of their battle. The Great Wizard and his newly chosen successor faced off against the brothers Ji Youyuan and Ji Youbo. Their battle reached a fever pitch, stirring the Qi between Heaven and Earth. In the end, the Great Wizard was no match for Ji Youyuan, whose palm strike sent the Wizard’s staff flying straight towards them. Xiaosuisui’s heart leaped with joy at the sight. She stretched out her small hand, ready to catch the staff. The young Emperor, however, was terrified. Why did the staff have to fly towards them? Was the Great Wizard doing it on purpose? Had he infused all his Witch Power into the staff to launch a surprise attack on me? In that split second, the young Emperor considered countless possibilities. Holding Xiaosuisui tightly, he spun around and kicked the staff far away. Xiaosuisui’s mouth fell open, her little hand, poised to catch the staff, frozen in mid-air as she watched it land in the National Master’s grasp. Xiaosuisui’s aunts silently looked up at the sky, their expressions clearly conveying, This is undoubtedly Heaven’s own precious daughter. Even without his staff, the Great Wizard continued to struggle, determined to take a piece out of Ji Youyuan before he died. "Hmph! Do you think this counts as a win? Let me tell you, even if I fail here, I won’t lose in other places!" The Great Wizard looked at the young Emperor. "I never expected the young Emperor of the Great Han to give me such a great surprise! HAHA! Even if I fail here, Heaven still favors my Nanjiang Royal Court!" "HAHAHAHA!" The Great Wizard burst into laughter. By now, Nanjiang’s army should have already broken through Xuanling Pass into the Central Plains and begun their march north, right? "You’re celebrating too soon. I see you don’t have much longer to live, so I might as well tell you: Xuanling Pass has fallen." The laughter on the Great Wizard’s face died instantly. His eyes widened. "Impossible! You’re lying!" "HAHAHA! He’s not lying! Nanjiang’s fifty-thousand-strong army has been entirely captured by me!" A gruff voice boomed. The young Emperor found it somewhat familiar and looked up to see Old General Xu, the border defender, who should have been stationed at a pass in the opposite direction! "Old General Xu!" The young Emperor blinked, thinking he was seeing things. However... "Your servant pays his respects, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!" Old General Xu approached the young Emperor and immediately knelt to pay his respects. The young Emperor was stunned. Why would the man whose army was supposed to be garrisoned at a pass in the opposite direction suddenly appear here? For a moment, he didn’t tell him to rise. Meanwhile, Grand General Xu peeked discreetly out of the corner of his eye at the baby in the Emperor’s arms. His Majesty hasn’t appointed any consorts, much less an empress! So why is he holding a baby now? And he’s kneeling like this, yet the Emperor isn’t making any move to avoid it, even letting him kneel before this baby too!
