The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue's shoulder injury was easier to treat than Xiaotao's. The pain disappeared in just two or three minutes.

Xiao Yibai stayed by her side the whole time. "How is it? Is it really not hurting anymore?"

Mu Xiyue shook her arms a few times and said, "It's okay. The skills I learned can heal injuries. This minor injury will only take a few minutes."

"A few minutes? What does that mean?" There was no time unit called minutes in this era. Mu Xiyue spoke without thinking too much, so Xiao Yibai asked without understanding.

Mu Xiyue laughed, "Well, it's not important. I'll go see the injured people."

Xiao Yibai felt that there were too many mysterious things about Mu Xiyue. He sighed and wondered when he could completely enter her heart.

Mu Xiyue looked around and found that the secret guards who went hunting had all returned. Two of them were injured, and they must have returned during the fight.

Two seriously injured secret guards sat against a tree with their eyes closed, their faces pale.

Mu Xiyue walked over and took a closer look. A man had been stabbed in the abdomen and blood was still oozing out. If they continued to bandage the patient like this, the man would be dead before tomorrow morning.

Mu Xiyue asked Qi Yun to hold the man up, "Turn his back to me, I will give him Qi to heal his injuries."

The last time they escorted a witness, Feng Wu had already stepped foot into the Yama Palace. Mu Xiyue said that she would infuse some Qi into him and really saved him. Feng Wu recovered after only two weeks of recuperation after returning to the palace. Qi Yun had no doubt about Mu Xiyue's healing. Just now, Xiao Tao's internal injuries healed in just a quarter of an hour, which was a bit too miraculous.

The journey ahead would likely be unsettled, and these secret guards couldn't afford to be killed. Mu Xiyue spent a little over a quarter of an hour healing him to 70% of his condition. His internal organs were largely repaired, the wound on his abdomen had scabbed over, and he was now conscious.

Mu Xiyue sat on the ground and took a break. Healing magic consumed too much mental energy. Fortunately, the level of her wood-type ability was high. If the ability level was only below level four, her mental energy would only be enough to save one person with such a serious injury.

After about five minutes of rest, Xiao Yibai handed her a roasted rabbit leg and said, "Eat some first. Isn't it very tiring to treat someone's injuries?"

"Yeah, it does consume a lot of energy." Mu Xiyue didn't hesitate to take it and started eating. After finishing a rabbit leg, she went to treat another seriously injured secret guard.

The secret guard suffered from excessive blood loss, with one knife wound on his thigh and one on his shoulder. Fortunately, his bones were not broken.

Mu Xiyue treated his external injuries until they scabbed over, but the problem of excessive blood loss could not be solved by healing magic.

These secret guards had escorted witnesses last time and had witnessed Mu Xiyue's abilities, so they were no longer surprised.

It was the first time that Qilin Guards had seen such magical martial arts and healing skills, and they were shocked.

While Mu Xiyue was treating the secret guard, the other secret guards and Qilin guards had already cleaned up the battlefield. However, the smell of blood was still strong in the air. Fortunately, there were no ferocious beasts near this official road, so everyone did not move to another place to rest.

Mu Xiyue had consumed a lot of energy today, so she ate another cake and then leaned on Xiao Yibai's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

Qi Yun came over to report, "Master, the first group of assassins were from the Soul-Seizing Pavilion. The Soul-Seizing Pavilion doesn't kill members of the royal family, so it seems they're targeting Miss Mu. The second group doesn't look like Prince Rui's men, and they don't have any identifying marks on them. There are fifty-five of them in total. I suspect they were either the Queen or the Duke of Chen to send out so many people at once."

Mu Xiyue opened her eyes and sat up straight after hearing this. "Is the Soul-Sucking Pavilion you're talking about a jianghu organization?"

Qi Yun nodded. "The Soul-Seizing Pavilion is a killer organization. As long as you can afford it, they will take orders and kill you. However, they have three restrictions: they don't kill members of the royal family, they don't kill loyal ministers and generals, and they don't kill children."

"So the Soul-Seizing Pavilion people really came to kill me. It seems my feeling was correct. Then, are the second group here to kill me or your master?"

Xiao Yibai said: "Even if I kill you, it's probably because of me. I'm sorry!"

Mu Xiyue sighed, "Maybe it's not just because of you. Mu Fengnian has been plotting against me since he brought me back to the Marquis' Mansion. If he can't do that to me, he won't let me off easily. The Soul-Demanding Pavilion might also be Mu Fengnian's work."

But Mu Xiyue couldn't be sure whether it was really Mu Fengnian. After all, she had emptied Mu Fengnian's warehouse once, and then she prepared a dowry for Mu Xiyue. It shouldn't be cheap to buy heads from the underworld organizations. Is Mu Fengnian hiding a small treasury somewhere?

Perhaps because Xiao Yibai was by her side, Mu Xiyue fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, it was already dawn. She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping in Xiao Yibai's arms.

"Awake?" Xiao Yibai lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms and said softly.

"Yeah," Mu Xiyue stood up and looked around. Xiaotao was leaning against the tree and still unconscious, covered with Qiyun's clothes.

The secret guards and Qilin guards have all woken up, and someone is grilling meat. Is it a bit irritating to eat barbecue so early in the morning?

Xiao Yibai held Mu Xiyue in his arms all night. He thought she would at least blush when she woke up, but she stretched out her arms like she didn't care at all. He rubbed his arms, which were numb and sore from holding her all night without moving.

Mu Xiyue was just feigning composure. Even during the apocalypse, she had never been this close to a man. Seeing Xiao Yibai rubbing her arm, she knew it was to help her sleep better. He was doing the same thing all night, so it would be strange if her arm didn't feel numb.

She held Xiao Yibai's numb arm and transferred some supernatural powers to him. This physical fatigue could be recovered in less than half a minute.

It was the first time that Xiao Yibai felt her healing skills. He felt a warmth in his arm, and the numbness and soreness were quickly relieved. Soon, he felt no discomfort at all.

He asked softly, "Yueyue, is this the true qi you mentioned? Does Xiaotao also have it? Can I learn it?"

Mu Xiyue chuckled, "Well, isn't it much better? But not everyone can learn this. Xiaotao doesn't know this."

Xiao Yibai couldn't help but ask again, he was really curious.

"What about those ice needle hidden weapons of yours? Are they condensed with true qi, or do you have a special method for preserving them?"

Mu Xiyue knew that he would definitely be curious, and it was a testament to his patience that he could wait until now to ask.

"Oh, that ice needle, I guess it was condensed by me using my true energy!" Mu Xiyue said as she spread out her hands, revealing two ice needles in her palms, as thick as her little finger.

Xiao Yibai picked up the ice needle and took a look. It would be strange if such a thick ice needle shot into the forehead did not kill him. The temperature at the end of April was already very warm. The ice needle slowly melted in his hand. This was truly amazing. He could condense ice with his true qi. What kind of true qi did he have?

Seeing his expression of shock, Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "I think your internal strength is also very powerful. Last night, before I even noticed the assassins coming, the Qilin Guards noticed it first. This means that internal strength is even better than what I learned. Can I still cultivate internal strength at my age?"
