Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

"what?"

Shen Mu was somewhat taken aback. Although he had heard of General Qin Rao's great name before, this was probably the first time the two of them had met.

"Auntie, what are you saying?"

Zhou Jinghuai was also surprised. He looked at Shen Mu and then at his aunt. He really didn't understand what his aunt meant.

Qingfeng swallowed hard, then scrambled to pull Haojing aside.

"What are you doing?"

Haojing originally wanted to stay there and watch the excitement, but unexpectedly, Qingfeng pulled him to the side.

Qingfeng raised his hand to wipe his face, which was now covered in dust, and carefully lowered his voice.

"Don't you know who Aunt Qin Rao hated the most?"

Hao Jing saw the panic on Qing Feng's face and his heart sank. Even he seemed to realize that Qing Feng was not joking.

"Aunt Qin Rao? Who is she? Does she hate my master?"

Although Haojing was somewhat startled by Qingfeng's reaction, he thought that Shen Mu was obviously hundreds of years younger than this goddess, and they were not related at all, so how could they be considered enemies?

He looked up and saw that Qin Rao's face was now even more gloomy.

"Zhou Jinghuai, who is he?"

Qin Rao temporarily suppressed his anger, and even with the last shred of reason, looked at Zhou Jinghuai.

Zhou Jinghuai was also completely confused at this moment, fearing that Aunt Qin and Shen Mu might have some misunderstanding, so he quickly explained.

“Aunt, this is the same Shen Mu, the God Lord of Cangling, who I have been telling you about, who helped me capture the Demon Lord Chongming in the mortal realm.”

Fearing that Aunt Qin might do something to Shen Mu, he quickly stood between the two of them.

Qin Rao rolled his eyes at him, somewhat helplessly saying...

"Even if you and he combined, you might not be able to stop me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking, just because you're being mysterious?" She raised her hand and pushed Zhou Jinghuai away, then slowly walked up to Shen Mu.

Although she appeared to be a young woman, the murderous intent emanating from her eyes still caused Shen Mu to take a half-step back.

After all, General Qin Rao's reputation was quite widespread within the Four Realms Divine Kingdom.

However, Shen Mu couldn't help but wonder where he had offended this goddess.

"Aunt Qin...do you know me?"

Shen Mu couldn't help but speak up.

He hasn't dealt with Demon Lord Chongming yet, so naturally he doesn't dare to confront this female general. Compared to his thorough understanding of Sun Youzhi's strength, he doesn't know if he can defeat Aunt Qin Rao.

Qin Rao looked him up and down for a while before slowly speaking.

“You resemble an old friend of mine. If it weren’t for the fact that your bones are only a few hundred years old, I would have mistaken you for someone else.”

Her expression gradually relaxed; of course she knew that Shen Mu wasn't that person!

"Characteristics? Auntie can tell that just by looking at it?"

Shen Mu was somewhat surprised. Even Hao Jing could only rely on his divine power to discern his true nature, and he never expected that Qin Rao could see through his foundation at a glance.

He and Zhou Jinghuai were about the same age, but their experiences in their youth were quite different.

"Humph--"

Qin Rao couldn't help but roll his eyes, then turned and walked to Zhou Jinghuai's side.

"What about Thirteen? Why haven't we seen her?"

"Thirteen?"

Shen Mu was somewhat surprised; he naturally hadn't expected Qin Rao to know even about the thirteenth.

Zhou Jinghuai gave an awkward smile and quickly explained to Shen Mu.

“My aunt descended to the mortal realm some time ago, so she naturally knows about the Thirteen Divine Lords. However, my aunt and I have been searching for her for a long time, but we haven’t been able to find her. Do you know where she is?”

His gaze hesitated as he looked at Shen Mu, only to see the other man lower his head slightly in response.

"I don't know, I don't know where she went either. Right now, Sun Youzhi has already fled to the Southern Barbarians, and I still need to deal with him with Haojing and the others."

Shen Mu naturally had his own selfish motives as well.

He didn't want to tell Zhou Jinghuai at this time that Thirteen was already by his side.

And it slipped away right under his nose.

"Sun Youzhi? The Demon Lord's clone?"

Qin Rao was naturally intrigued. Even though she had stayed in the capital for months, she hadn't heard anything about the Demon Lord's whereabouts. At this moment, her eyes shone brightly, and she wished she could rush to Sun Youzhi and kill him with her own hands.

Shen Mu nodded

“My men have already found out that he fled to the southern barbarians, otherwise I wouldn’t have left the capital at this time.”

"Then why don't you go after them yourself? Why do you have to follow these mortals?"

Qin Rao naturally didn't take these mortals seriously; in her mind, these people were people who could be sacrificed to get rid of the Demon Lord.

So she didn't care at all about the opinions of ordinary people.

This head

Haojing shrank back and looked at Qingfeng, somewhat puzzled.

"Is your aunt very powerful in Xichen? She seems to have an aura that overshadows our adults." He pointed to Qin Rao standing next to Zhou Jinghuai, looking puzzled.

Although he had spent hundreds of years with Shen Mu, there were very few people in this world who could directly overwhelm their master in terms of aura.

Right now, he could also see from Shen Mu's eyes that Shen Mu had great respect for this female general.

Qingfeng shrugged, seemingly a little smug.

"That's for sure. It's just that you're ignorant. Our Aunt Qin's strength should be above that of the Emperor."

"Your Majesty? You mean that one from Xichen? Didn't I hear recently that Xichen is about to have a happy event?" Hao Jing rubbed his nose; he had heard this news from his good friend Cang Ling.

The reason is that after the Battle of Cangjue, the strength of the four great divine kingdoms was not as great as before.

They all relied on intermarriage to unite and fight against the other demons.

He only learned by chance that Xichen was about to be married to Yongle.

A flicker of panic crossed Qingfeng's face, and he quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, but it's only temporary; things haven't been finalized yet."

"Your Xichen only has one eldest prince, right? Who else could it be but your Xichen Emperor?" Haojing nudged Qingfeng's shoulder, seemingly oblivious to Qingfeng's unusual behavior.

Qingfeng quickly smiled sheepishly.

"That's right. Our eldest prince is quite handsome, and he is a good match for Princess Yongle."

Perhaps it was his somewhat guilty expression that made Haojing sense something, and Haojing frowned, puzzled.

"What do you mean? Is the eldest prince of Xichen very ugly? I heard that Princess Yongle has a rather... well, rather interesting personality."

He thought for a long time, and this was the only word he could think of.

Princess Yongle was extremely favored; if compared to her, only Duan Yuyan of Nanyang could be considered her equal.

However, Princess Yongle was lively and easy-going, and she was a very approachable person. Her temperament was not as wicked as Duan Yuyan's!

Thinking of this, Haojing touched the back of his neck and suddenly felt a chill.
