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

A quarter of an hour later, the two followers were lying in front of Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao tied them to a tree.

The rope used to tie people up was not an ordinary rope, but a steel cable from Mu Xiyue's space, which was used for climbing in her previous life.

Mu Xiyue looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Tell me, who are you? Don't try to deceive me."

The two men kept silent. Mu Xiyue clicked her tongue twice. This was a small forest. The weather was already a bit hot in late May and there were many insects and ants in the forest. Mu Xiyue took out a jar of honey from the space and poured some on the two men's faces and necks. She also kindly took a branch to help them spread it evenly.

Soon, many insects and ants were crawling on their faces, and a few bees were attracted.

Mu Xiyue waited patiently for the two to speak. The two were also able to endure it and remained silent even when being bitten by insects and ants.

Mu Xiyue sighed, "Are you really not going to talk to me? Anyway, it's getting late today, so let's spend the night in this grove. You two may not know me very well, so it would be unwise for you not to speak."

As he spoke, he took out a steel knife and cut several cuts on the arms, thighs and calves of the two men. The wounds were not deep enough to cause bleeding to death, and he smeared honey on the wounds.

"Tsk, what a waste, such good honey!"

After Mu Xiyue finished all this, Xiaotao had already lit a fire. Mu Xiyue did not avoid the two people tied to the tree. She took out the pre-prepared skewers and seasonings from the space and started grilling the meat.

The two men were so surprised to see Mu Xiyue conjure something out of thin air that their mouths widened. Mu Xiyue said to the two men while grilling the meat, "How is it? Is there anything you want to say? Am I very powerful? If you are willing to follow me, I can also accept you as my little brothers."

The aroma of barbecue mixed with the aroma of cumin wafted in the air, and the two men swallowed unconsciously. This was more unbearable than having their wounds bitten by insects and ants. Well, having their wounds bitten by insects and ants was also unbearable, it was itchy and painful, and the person was tied up and couldn't even scratch. This punishment was really too torturous.

One of them couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Miss Mu, please give me a quick death!"

Mu Xiyue sneered, "Want to get away with it? When a person dies, they know nothing. Does it matter whether they betrayed you or not?"

"I say, I say, I just hope that Miss can give me a quick death."

Mu Xiyue sat under the tree opposite the two men, poking the ground lightly with a branch, "Well, as long as you're telling the truth."

"I was sent by Lord Mu. Lord Mu told me to find an opportunity to get close to the young lady. If I can gain her trust, I will find a chance to assassinate her."

Mu Xiyue didn't believe it. "Mu Fengnian has hired so many assassins but they all failed to kill me. How can you be so confident just by yourself? These insects and ants are just child's play. Do you want to try something else?"

The other man kept closing his eyes and enduring it. Sure enough, that one was more interesting.

Mu Xiyue urged the vines wrapped around the tree, and the vines seemed to have eyes and drilled into the arms of the two men. The piercing pain made the man with his eyes closed suddenly open his eyes, "You really are a witch!"

Mu Xiyue showed a harmless smile, "Venice? Xiaotao, do I look like a witch when I'm so beautiful?"

Xiao Tao held a piece of grass in her mouth and said, "Miss, a demon girl can also be very beautiful."

"That's right, you two really don't intend to tell us your identities?" Mu Xiyue urged the vines again, and this time the vines drilled directly between the two people's legs.

The two men looked down in horror, and they clearly felt their vitals being entangled by vines.

Mu Xiyue laughed softly, and her laughter was a little creepy. "If I don't speak now, it might break."

Feeling the vines tightening, the two finally panicked and scrambled to speak.

It turned out one of them was indeed sent by Mu Fengnian. Mu Fengnian had set up an ambush in the town ahead, deploying a total of fifty men, all of whom were his death squads, previously housed within the Beijing Guards. Mu Fengnian felt that the previous assassination attempt on Mu Xiyue had failed due to either a shortage of manpower or the presence of Xiao Yibai. This time, he had mobilized all of his death squads, determined to eliminate Mu Xiyue.

The other one is the emperor's man. The emperor only ordered him to follow Mu Xiyue and report in time if he found anything unusual. He had no intention of harming Mu Xiyue.

Mu Xiyue took back her wood power. The skill of using wood power to activate plants to attack people was a bit useless, but it was quite useful today.

Now that the questions were out, there was no need to keep the people. Mu Xiyue killed the two men, put the bodies into the space, and threw them away after entering the deep mountains.

Seeing Mu Xiyue in a daze, Xiao Tao asked, "Miss, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how to deal with those assassins?"

Mu Xiyue shook her head. "No, there's nothing to think about. Why not just kill him? I wanted to let Mu Fengnian live a few more days, but it seems he doesn't want to live any longer. Change into men's clothes, let's go back now and kill him tomorrow."

After another night of travel, the two of them entered the city the next day but did not go to the newly bought house. Someone knew that she had left Beijing yesterday, and it was not appropriate for two young men to appear in her own house when she returned today.

It was still early, so the two found a private room in the teahouse to rest for a while.

At the end of the morning court session, people began to emerge from the palace gate.

On one side of the palace gate, there was a large open space specially used for ministers to park their carriages. At this time, many carriages were parked neatly. Mu Xiyue stood next to one of the carriages. Seeing Mu Fengnian walking towards her, a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, there was a loud bang of thunder, and Mu Fengnian fell to the ground motionless. His whole body was charred as if he had been smoked.

Soon people gathered around, and the guards guarding the palace gate ran quickly into the palace.

Mu Xiyue didn't read on, turned around and quietly left the place. She was absolutely confident that Mu Fengnian could only hold on for a day or two at most, and would definitely die.

It's not that her thunder ability can't kill people, it's too easy for him to be killed with one blow. She deliberately kept Mu Fengnian alive to let him feel the fear of being on the verge of death.

Back in the private room of the teahouse, Xiaotao saw that the young lady had returned, and the two of them immediately hired a carriage to leave the city. After arriving outside the city, they walked for a while until they were sure that there was no one else on the road, and then they released the horse from the space.

The two of them traveled for a whole day dressed as men, and only changed back into women's clothes when they arrived at the ambush place of Mu Fengnian's assassins.

Mu Fengnian's death squad only had fifty people in total. He took this opportunity to wipe them all out to prevent them from causing trouble in the future.

The place where the assassins were ambushing was a small hill with no cover. Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao attacked quickly without saying a word when the assassins jumped out.

The attack power of these assassins was far less than that of the masters of the Soul-Seeking Pavilion. The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly, and none of the fifty assassins were killed before they even touched the corner of Mu Xiyue's clothes.

Xiao Tao looked at the dead bodies on the ground and said, "Miss, what should we do with these?"

"Don't worry about it, let's find a place to go into the space and change clothes."

After killing so many people, it is inevitable that my clothes are splattered with blood. Fortunately, I have money now, so I don’t feel bad about throwing away my clothes.

Finally they arrived at Jiping Town. After traveling for three consecutive days, both of them were very tired. They rested for a day in the inn in the town before going into the mountains.

It's called Prison Beast Mountain because locals say the wild animals in the deep forest never cross the highest peak, as if they were trapped on the other side. Even when hunting, locals never cross the highest peak, as this side of the mountain is rich in game, including wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, civets, and white-faced civets.

Mu Xiyue looked at the mountain that the locals were talking about. She knew she had to climb over two lower mountains to reach the highest mountain. It looked not far away, but in reality, it would take at least two days to reach the highest mountain.
