The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

The leader in black took advantage of the moment when Gou Chunmei was shocked and quickly approached her side, taking Xiaobao in under the pretext of protection!

The rough fingers brushed against Xiaobao's delicate skin, and Xiaobao's little brows wrinkled slightly.

Gou Chunmei staggered forward, digging her nails deep into her palms: "Give the child... back to me..." Her voice was hoarse.

"Shameless!" Yin Zhizi was also furious, and the murderous intent that had just been suppressed surged again.

A faint light visible to the naked eye instantly lingered on her palm, and she shouted angrily, "You treacherous thing! You deserve to die!"

"Mrs. Gou, calm down!" The leader in black held Xiaobao, who was crying non-stop, and quickly retreated several steps to keep a safe distance.

He spoke quickly but with undeniable firmness: "Master's meaning is very clear. To ensure that Miss Gou does not cause any more trouble, this child will be 'taken care of' by the Master from now on!"

Before he finished speaking, several other men in black had already stood between Gou Chunmei and her daughter and the leader, locking their cold eyes on them.

Xiaobao suddenly fell into a strange and cold embrace, his small body trembling violently.

His cries echoed in the restaurant, as if to break Gou Chunmei's heart.

"You...you can really guarantee that my child will be safe?" Gou Chunmei's lips trembled slightly.

His voice was hoarse and distorted due to extreme anger and fear, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from his throat.

"Of course!" the leader reiterated firmly, his eyes sweeping over Yin Zhizi's hands ready to strike.

"As long as Madam and Miss behave themselves and follow the Master's instructions, your Master will not be harmed in the slightest. Otherwise..."

"I'll take the people with me first. Madam and Miss, please pack up as soon as possible and set off for Beijing."

He said no more, stuffed a pill into his mouth, and disappeared without a trace along with the heart-wrenching cry.

All that was left were the tiger-head shoes that Xiaobao had dropped during his struggle and the crookedly embroidered amulet.

That was the needlework that Gou Chunmei had worked on all night for three days, and now it was lying alone on the blue brick floor of the restaurant.

“Xiaobao…!”

Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground. She felt as if her whole world had collapsed with the departure of her child.

Yin Zhizi hugged his distraught daughter tightly in his arms, patted her back gently, with a cold fire burning in his eyes.

"Mei'er, don't be afraid! Mother is here! If your sister, the Imperial Concubine, dares to touch Xiaobao, I will expose her crimes to His Majesty even if it costs me my life!"

"Mother...my little treasure..." Gou Chunmei finally broke down completely. She buried her head in her mother's thin shoulders and burst into tears.

That voice was filled with endless fear and helplessness.

Of course, Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao, who were in Li Country, were completely unaware of the dramatic change in Gou Chunmei and her daughter.

The two of them devoted almost all their time to cultivation and alchemy.

The two people were in the Lingyu space. The purple elixir fire would transform into a phoenix shape at midnight, and the rich medicinal fragrance almost condensed into substance.

The aura around Zhao Haoxuan continued to rise, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder flowing through his body.

He has been stuck at the peak of the Venerable Realm for some time. The barrier leading to the Saint Realm seems to be only a thin line away, but it is as solid as a rock. Every attack requires a huge amount of spiritual power and mental strength.

Wang Xinyao sat opposite him, the ancient phoenix jade floating in front of her chest, emitting a warm and soft red light.

Strands of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth were guided into her meridians.

She was naturally gifted, and with her own almost strenuous efforts, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and she had already firmly established herself at the third level of the Venerable Realm.

Although she was still far from the threshold of the Saint Realm, the clear trajectory of her progress filled her heart with hope.

The task of taking care of the twins naturally fell on Chen Qingfeng and Wang Muyun.

The little guy changed every day, becoming the brightest spot of life in the serious military camp, and also tying up most of the attention of the two masters.

The heavy responsibility of helping Li Kingdom regain its lost territory fell on the shoulders of generals including Zhou Yunxi and Luo Qing.

The progress of the war was not always smooth. It encountered stubborn resistance from the Wolie people and experienced repeated battles in the city.

After several months of fierce fighting, the army finally arrived at the capital of Li Kingdom!

Inside the main tent of the Xia Kingdom's military camp, Zhao Haoxuan sat in the main seat, his aura as solemn as a mountain, and he looked even more unfathomable and majestic than he was a few months ago.

Wang Xinyao stood aside, with a look of heroism and calmness coexisting between her brows.

Below, generals such as Zhou Yunxi, Luo Qing, Zhou Shen, Xie Xiaogang, Gu Ze, and Chen Liangxian were more or less covered in dust from the battle and had scars that had not yet healed, but their eyes were as sharp as eagles.

"The Spirit Gathering Pill is here, take it as needed." Wang Xinyao's voice was clear. On the ground in front of her, there were hundreds of cloth bags filled with freshly made pills.

As the war escalated, ordinary soldiers were issued with at least the powerful eighth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill.

Core generals like Zhou Yunxi and Luo Qing began to use first-grade golden elixirs to quickly recover and improve their strength.

"Everyone," Zhao Haoxuan's eyes were like lightning, slowly sweeping across every resolute face under the tent. His voice was not loud, but it clearly drowned out the whistling wind outside the tent.

"The capital of Li Kingdom is before us. This is the final battle. Are you all ready?"

"We will not refuse even if death is the cost!" All the generals responded in unison, their voices shaking the camp.

Luo Qing grinned and patted the storage bag at his waist, which contained new weapons.

"Brother Crown Prince, sister-in-law, just relax! With these new guys paving the way, we'll make sure those Japanese bastards cry for their parents!"

Zhao Haoxuan shook his head slightly, his brows showing no sign of relief. "Luo Qing, don't underestimate the enemy. The capital is not an ordinary small city. It has a dense population, high walls and deep moats.

The Japanese have long experienced the power of our new weapons, so how could they not be prepared? In my opinion, they will surely drive the innocent people of Li Country to the front of the battle and use them as human shields.

By then, the power of firearms will be greatly reduced, and the casualties from a strong attack will be unpredictable. This battle will surely be a hard-fought one!"

"Brother Zhao is absolutely right." After Wang Xinyao finished speaking, she handed the last pill filled with gold to Gu Ze.

"Everyone, hurry up and refine and absorb the pills you've been given. Be sure to get your form to peak levels before the battle. If you're short on energy, feel free to come back to me for more."

The generals received the order, took the pills, left the tent, and returned to their camps to prepare for battle.

Silence returned to the tent. Zhao Haoxuan and Wang Xinyao looked at each other and without saying a word, they sat down cross-legged and immersed themselves in their respective cultivation spaces.
