Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Upon seeing this, Baili Heng stabbed him to death with his sword.

The general lay in a pool of blood, only then realizing they had been ambushed, but it was too late.

Lin Ruoshui and Xiu Yi flew onto the catapult. Standing on the catapult, they looked down at the Gu people below.

After the Gu person was blown up, many insects scurried out from the severed limbs.

Lin Ruoshui ordered everyone to evacuate ten miles away, while the special forces stayed behind and surrounded the insects, starting to pour kerosene on them.

Once everything was ready, Lin Ruoshui lit the small natural gas canister in her arms and threw it directly onto the kerosene.

The fire spread along the riverbank for a full two kilometers.

Lin Ruoshui and Xiu Yi flew off the catapult and landed among the special forces.

Her eyes reflected a raging fire, as if it would burn all the Gu people in the world.

Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "Your Highness, do you see? I'm one step closer to avenging you."

You must wait for me down there. It won't be long before I'm able to kill my way to Ouyang Yueming.

You absolutely mustn't drink that Meng Po soup and forget me; you must wait for me.

Xiu Yi held Lin Ruoshui's hand and felt the coldness of her palm.

Ling Ye was behind her and heard her thoughts.

Ling Ye thought to himself, "What method can I use to make you stay and forget that person?"

When the bugle sounded, the crowd assembled twenty miles north of the Feng River.

Some soldiers were collecting corpses while others were transporting captured supplies.

Everyone's face was beaming with the joy of victory.

Lin Ruoshui, Xiu Yi, Baili Heng, Ouyang Xuri, Ling Ye, and Yun Mo gathered inside the large tent.

Baili Heng asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Now that you ask, I suddenly feel a little hungry!"

Ouyang Xuri said, "I knew you'd be hungry, so I've already prepared some food for you."

Seeing Ouyang Xuri's excitement, Lin Ruoshui eagerly asked, "Great! What is it?"

Ouyang Xuri waved his hand, signaling the soldiers on the right flank to bring up a large box.

Lin Ruoshui opened it out of curiosity and found it was full of chilled fish and seafood.

Lin Ruoshui asked, "How did you know that seafood is my favorite food?"

Ouyang Xuri scratched his head and said, "It was a lucky accident."

The five men in the tent all silently remembered that Lin Ruoshui loved seafood.

Seeing so much seafood, Lin Ruoshui's appetite was whetted, and she decided to cook it herself.

She said, "Since you're all not sleepy, then let Chef Ying treat you to a seafood feast today."

The eyes of the five men shone; four of them had never tasted anything made by Lin Ruoshui before and were filled with anticipation.

Xiu Yi felt a pang of sadness; he didn't want any other man to taste Lin Ruoshui's cooking.

If Lin Ruoshui can make such a delicious bowl of plain noodles, how much more delicious would she make this seafood?

Xiu Yi pursed her lips and said, "Yingying, cook me a bowl of noodles first."

Lin Ruoshui sensed Xiu Yi's slight disappointment, so she smiled and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll go now."

Lin Ruoshui left after she finished speaking.

Xiu Yi was stared at by four handsome eyes for a long time, but he didn't move an inch and didn't care at all. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He thought to himself, "This is a bowl of plain noodles just for me, there's no room for you guys."

Ling Ye said, "This plain noodle soup should be shared by everyone. Why should you monopolize it?"

Xiuyi glanced at him, then turned her face away, disdainfully ignoring him.

Meng Tuo entered the tent, sniffed the air, and asked in confusion, "Is there explosives in this tent? Why does it smell so strongly of gunpowder?"

When Baili Heng saw him coming, he asked, "What is it?"

Meng Tuo said, "The battlefield has been cleaned up, and the engineers have returned to their camps."

Baili Heng said, "Well done. Everyone has made contributions this time. We will reward them according to their merits in three days."

Meng Tuo happily accepted the order and withdrew.

Not long after, Lin Ruoshui walked in carrying a large bowl of noodles.

She twitched her small nose and said, "Could there be explosives in this tent? Why does it smell so strongly of gunpowder?"

Baili Heng cleared his throat and said, "Nothing of the sort, hahaha."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Your smile looks stiff, do you even realize that?"

Baili Heng stopped laughing awkwardly, his eyes fixed on the large bowl of noodles.

Xiuyi walked over, took the noodles, and said, "It smells so good. Yingying's cooking is still the best."

Lin Ruoshui clapped her hands and said, "Of course, I'm a top chef, I'll cook you something delicious later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The five men listened as Lin Ruoshui's footsteps faded into the distance.

Xiuyi picked up her chopsticks and was about to start eating in front of the four people when Lingye was the first to object and reached out to snatch the bowl of noodles.

Xiu Yi lowered her head and struck out with her palm. Ling Ye barely dodged it, which startled him. The force of the palm struck a pillar of the tent, causing the tent to shake.

Ouyang Xuri didn't care about anything else. He looked at the bowl on the table, picked it up, and was about to take a bite.

Baili Heng tried to stop him, but Ouyang Xuri, holding a bowl, swiftly circled behind Yun Mo.

Yunmo turned around and smelled the aroma wafting from Ouyang Xuri's bowl. He swallowed hard but didn't move.

Just as Ouyang Xuri opened his mouth wide, the bowl of noodles was about to fall into his mouth.

Ling Ye lunged forward, heading straight for Ouyang Xuri.

Seeing that he was reckless and the bowl of noodles was bound to spill, Baili Heng kicked Ling Ye.

Ling Ye dodged Baili Heng's kick in mid-air and quickly landed next to Ouyang Xuri.

Hold the bowl by the other side with your hand.

The duel between Ouyang Xuri and Ling Ye began. Neither of them would give in, and they fought with one hand holding the bowl and the other hand.

When Xiu Yi saw his face being fought over by the two men, he became furious.

Xiu Yi mobilized her inner strength and attacked the two of them.

Lin Ruoshui carried another large bowl to the front of the tent. Before she could even enter, the tent flew into the air and exploded into pieces.

The men started fighting, and Lin Ruoshui said, "Why are you fighting over these bowls? There are still four left."

After saying that, the men all straightened up and became elegant again.

Ouyang Xuri said, "There's more? I'll go get it."

Xiu Yi took the noodles from Lin Ruoshui and said calmly, "The previous bowl was dirty, I'll eat this one."

Ling Ye held the noodles he had finally managed to snatch, and looked at them; they were covered in some dust.

He said, "This noodle is dirty, can I have another bowl?"

Lin Ruoshui said irritably, "No, that's all."

They moved to a new tent, and five men sat elegantly at the table eating noodles.

Yunmo's eating manners were the most beautiful and ethereal. Lin Ruoshui looked at him and said, "Yunmo, don't you make any noise while eating your noodles?"

A voice as clear as a spring rang out: "Yes, this noodle is delicious. I can't help but want to eat it with gusto."

Ouyang Xuri said, "How can a man eat noodles without making a sound? That's so pretentious."

Upon hearing this, Baili Heng and Yun Mo's faces darkened.

Lingye carefully picked out the dusty noodles; thankfully, the ones underneath were still clean.

Xiu Yi didn't say anything and quickly finished her bowl of noodles.

He pulled Lin Ruoshui out.

Lin Ruoshui asked, "What is it?"
