The surrounding air instantly became scorching hot, and the distorted heat waves visibly spread outwards, as if to devour everything.

A cold glint flashed in Shen Yunxi's eyes as she manipulated the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

The eerie blue flames, like venomous snakes, climbed up their limbs and instantly enveloped them. Before their shrill screams could even escape their lips, they were devoured by the flames, turning into wisps of smoke that drifted away with the wind, leaving only a few charred marks on the ground.

Bai Zijian watched helplessly as his men turned to ashes, and the fear that surged from the depths of his bones almost consumed him.

He realized that Shen Yunxi's power far exceeded his imagination, and if he didn't escape now, it would be too late! He gritted his teeth, his trembling hand pulled out a precious escape scroll, and tore it open forcefully. A dazzling white light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping him, and then, in a flash, his figure vanished without a trace.

Bai Zijian's voice came from mid-air, filled with fear and resentment, as he hoarsely roared, "You just wait!"

He paused, his tone filled with venom: "Shen Qingrou, and these two little bastards, my Bai family will never let you get away with this!"

He practically roared out the last sentence, his voice fading into the distance and eventually disappearing into the wind.

Shen Yunxi's lips curled slightly: "Okay, I'll be waiting!"

Seeing Bai Zijian flee in a sorry state, and witnessing the Bai family disciples turn to ashes in an instant, the onlookers were terrified. Their legs went weak, and they all knelt down on the ground, trembling like straw in the wind.

"Spare us! We didn't do anything, please spare us!"

"We promise to keep our mouths shut and will never reveal what happened today. Please spare our lives!"

"Please, spare us! We have elderly parents and young children to support; we can't die!"

At this moment, Shen Yunxi smiled gently, her eyes sparkling like the warm spring sun, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority. She looked down at the trembling crowd kneeling on the ground, her voice soft but firm: "No."

A chill ran through everyone, who thought their deaths were imminent, and their cries grew even more piercing.

She paused, then continued, "Take a message out with you."

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of angering this woman with great power.

Shen Yunxi smiled and glanced at everyone, saying each word clearly, "Tell Chu Ye and Jiang Shuyue that an old friend has returned!"

Everyone was taken aback at first, exchanging bewildered glances. Chu Ye and Jiang Shuyue? She was looking for His Highness the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess? Although they had questions in their hearts, they still nodded vigorously, afraid that answering too slowly would bring about their own demise.

"We'll definitely bring it! We'll definitely bring it!" they all shouted in unison, their voices booming with a desperate will to survive.

The crowd scrambled to escape, as if a raging flood were rushing behind them, fearing that Shen Yunxi might change her mind. The forest fell silent instantly, broken only by the rustling of leaves in the wind and the distant calls of startled birds.

Shen Yunxi then looked down at the two children: "Are you alright?"

"Mommy, we're alright! Aren't we amazing!" Shen Ruoyu looked at him with a plea for praise.

Shen Yunxi smiled helplessly. These two little ones really are...

"You're not Shen Qingrou, who are you?" Suddenly a cold voice came from beside her. Shen Yunxi looked over and saw the Bai family disciple who had been bullied.
