He Lan Tianxia

"Jiang He, are you here to undermine me today?" Murong Junlan finally couldn't help but say to Jiang He. Although she was resentful, she still kicked Jiang He away as quickly as possible.

Hmm. Jiang He was speechless. He didn't know what had gotten into him today, making such basic mistakes all the time. If Luo Xie were here, he would have been laughing his head off.

This time, Jiang He didn't throw his knife forward, even though he saw the crocodile's massive jaws about to bite the prince. His hand gripping the knife was straining to control itself. As a guard, he couldn't allow the prince to suffer any harm. Look, the crocodile's mouth was already on the prince's jaws—could he pretend not to see it? Was he even a guard anymore? Was he even human? Jiang He couldn't hold back any longer. He swung his broadsword, aiming directly at the crocodile's tail…

The crocodile, in pain, lashed out at Jiang He with its tail, while at the same time, its large mouth greedily bit at Murong Junlan.

"What a brilliant two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!" Murong Junlan secretly applauded the crocodile. A crocodile with such cultivation could be considered half a divine fish. "Since you're so capable, I'll play with you." As Murong Junlan pondered this, the thin rope in his hand had already quietly turned a circle. He rolled it over and pulled it with the help of the rope, pulling the crocodile several steps.

With its mouth held in place and its tail lashed out in pain, the crocodile was enraged. Driven to its rage, it roared, its head gripping the thin rope as it howled skyward. Its tail, seemingly gathering strength, lashed upward, deflecting Jiang He's second slash into the air. The scales that had been ripped off the blade flew through its body. Before the excruciating pain could even fully penetrate its bones, Murong Junlan's thin rope snapped off several of its sharp teeth. In its struggle, the crocodile unleashed another surge of ferocity. It rolled its body and launched a deadly attack on the two men with incredible speed.

Boom! The giant crocodile crashed heavily into the fishpond. Faced with two incredibly powerful opponents, the crocodile was ultimately defeated. At that moment, Murong Junlan's thin rope swung again, and combined with Jiang He's blade, the crocodile was finally completely defeated. Just as Murong Junlan was about to finish off the crocodile, a figure suddenly flew in from the sky. This person, dressed in white with white hair, pushed with both hands, and the force clashed with the thin rope in Murong Junlan's hands, producing a metallic sound.

The white-haired woman landed in front of the giant crocodile, then attacked Murong Junlan with lightning speed, leading to another engagement. However, Murong Junlan quickly realized something was amiss. What was wrong? He noticed the white-haired woman seemed to be protecting the crocodile. Hmm, could the crocodile be her mount?

To confirm his guess, Murong Junlan ignored the white-haired woman's attacks and instead aimed each strike at the crocodile with a deadly intent. Sure enough, the white-haired woman blocked each of the crocodile's attacks, deflecting the force of the thin rope.

Suddenly, the white-haired woman intensified her attack, each move circling the crocodile so tightly that Murong Junlan's thin rope could barely touch it. She even forced Murong Junlan and Jiang He to retreat a few steps towards the pond's edge. The white-haired woman still seemed unsatisfied. After unleashing several devastating frost palm strikes at Murong Junlan, she suddenly turned and slammed a giant wave into the pond, then channeled a hidden force into it. With a snap, the wave instantly froze, isolating Murong Junlan and Jiang He in another dimension. The white-haired woman glared fiercely at the ice wall separating Murong Junlan and Jiang He, inwardly seething with resentment: "This crocodile is my plaything! When did it become your place to deal with it? If I kill it, who will I play with?" The white-haired woman turned and delivered two powerful palm strikes to the large crocodile, forcing the badly injured creature back into the pond. Then, she disappeared into the tall, overgrown grass.

If Prince Murong knew that the white-haired woman saved the crocodile only to use it as a toy, he would have a different opinion of this crazy woman. But right now, he didn't have time to think about her motives; he was in a hurry to see his princess.
