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

Under the sunlight, Xuanyuan Yu embraced Lin Ruoshui, but it wasn't a simple embrace; rather, a sense of panic arose within him.

Her abilities make her a treasure trove on this continent; if others were to discover her value, one can imagine the danger she would face.

He feared that he wouldn't be able to protect the woman in his arms then. A deep sense of dread washed over Xuan Yuan Yu at this thought.

Xiu Yi appeared in front of him, but he did not approach her. Instead, he nodded to Xuan Yuan Yu.

Xiu Yi seemed to be telling him not to be afraid, that he would help him protect Lin Ruoshui.

Xuanyuan Yu felt a little relieved, but he couldn't relax. He had to become stronger, stronger than anyone else on the continent, so that he could protect Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui said, "How about that? This is the power of a homemade cannon. I also had them make a lot of hand grenades. We'll go try them out in a bit."

Xuanyuan Yu asked, "How did you learn to make these amazing weapons?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "Well... I researched it myself. The power of the explosives and the accuracy of the homemade cannons are not high enough. Time is too tight. Let's make a few to use first. We'll have someone refine the more sophisticated weapons later."

Xiu Yi said, "You must have an absolutely safe place to test these weapons, otherwise if these things get out, the whole world will be in chaos."

"Master, do you have any good ideas?" Lin Ruoshui looked at Xiuyi with bright eyes.

Xiu Yi said, "I've set up a formation in these mountains to ensure that no one can get here."

“That’s great, let’s turn this place into an arsenal and weapons depot,” Lin Ruoshui said.

Xuanyuan Yu was deeply shocked. He and Lin Ruoshui had experienced the power of the grenade. Possessing this grenade was like having thousands of martial arts masters who had cultivated for hundreds of years.

Xuanyuan Yu felt that what Lin Ruoshui said in the martial arts arena today was not just empty talk; these were definitely the top-tier weapons on the entire continent.

Lin Ruoshui seemed to be tired from playing. As soon as she got into the carriage, she nestled in Xuan Yuan Yu's arms and fell asleep.

Xuanyuan Yu had always thought this woman was very thin and light, but now he felt that she weighed a ton, yet he didn't want to let go of her at all, nor could he.

Night falls at the Chu King's residence.

Lin Ruoshui woke up feeling refreshed.

She snuggled into Xuan Yuan Yu's arms and said she didn't want to eat, she just wanted to eat him.

Xuanyuan Yu helplessly clutched his underpants, fearing he would fall victim to this woman's cruelty.

Lin Ruoshui decided to channel her desires into her appetite and have a big meal that night.

While she was having dinner with Xuanyuan Yu, Xiu Yi appeared, sat down as if no one else was there, picked up his special chopsticks, and began to pick up food.

Under the influence of the sacred medicine, Lin Ruoshui's desires were not being resolved, and she was feeling irritable. When she saw the culprit, Xiu Yi, she was in no good mood at all.

"Master, is your sacred medicine going to run out in three days?"

Xiuyi said, "Also, are you planning to continue eating?"

"There's more? I'm not planning on taking it. Taking that holy medicine requires dietary restrictions, hmph!"

"If you eat this for another month, one day of internal energy cultivation will be equivalent to two hundred days for others. Are you willing?" Xiu Yi asked.

Lin Ruoshui thought for a moment, then looked at Xuan Yuan Yu. She felt that with such a handsome man before her, how could she let the opportunity slip by?

She said, "No need. One should not be greedy."

“After you finish the sacred medicine in three days, I will help you open up all your meridians. At that time, your meridians will expand and your qi and blood will swell. You will need to cultivate with someone for forty-nine days, without missing a single day. Otherwise…” Xiu Yi said.

"What dual cultivation?" Lin Ruoshui didn't know if the dual cultivation Xiu Yi was talking about was the same as the dual cultivation she understood.

"Cough cough cough," Xiu Yi coughed twice and said, "It means that the two of them cultivate a superior technique, and after cultivating it, they can only regulate their breathing and refine it by having marital relations."

Lin Ruoshui looked at Xuan Yuanyu, and her face flushed red.

Xuanyuan Yu gripped Lin Ruoshui's hand tightly, while Xiu Yi maintained her indifferent expression.

Lin Ruoshui picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat, and placed it in Xuan Yuanyu's bowl.

Just as Xuanyuan Yu was about to eat, Xiu Yi asked, "Are you planning to give me the opportunity for dual cultivation?"

Xuanyuan Yu was displeased. He put down his chopsticks and asked, "What? You've got the idea of ​​cultivating with her?"

Xiuyi said, "By eating this piece of meat today, you are giving me the opportunity."

Xuanyuan Yu was puzzled.

Xiu Yi used Lin Ruoshui's chopsticks to pick up the meat from Xuan Yuan Yu's bowl and threw it outside the door.

A night cat, drawn by the smell, rushed over, and just as it picked up the piece of meat, it collapsed to the ground, black blood flowing from the corner of its mouth. It died within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"You owe me a life, remember to repay it," Xiu Yi said calmly to Xuan Yuan Yu.

Xuanyuan Yu said with shock and gratitude, "Yingying and I owe you two lives, and we will definitely repay you when we have the chance."

“No need. Yingying’s life is my life. Just remember that you owe me a life,” Xiuyi said.

Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but clench his fists.

That night, Xuanyuan Yu did not stay in the room with Lin Ruoshui, but instead interrogated the servants in the mansion.

Xiuyi sat on the roof beam, watching Lin Ruoshui lie down after eating her fill.

Lin Ruoshui said, "The food at Quandelou is really delicious! I never thought that the food at the Chu Prince's Mansion could be spiked. Who do you think did it?"

Hugh said, "Have you forgotten the rules for asking me for favors?"

"I'm just asking you, not begging you. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it!" Lin Ruoshui turned over, turning her back to Xiu Yi.

Xiu Yi jumped down from the roof beam and sat beside Lin Ruoshui's bed, saying, "It's obvious, why bother investigating? If you die, who in this manor will be the happiest?"

Lin Ruoshui turned around and said, "That swan that ate the toad?"

Xiu Yi smiled, her alluring beauty almost blinding Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Can you please stop sitting by my bedside in the middle of the night and tempting me?"

Xiu Yi smiled even more seductively and said, "Kiss me, don't you want to?"

Lin Ruoshui seemed to have lost her composure and said, "I do!"

Then she wrapped her arms around Xiuyi's neck and kissed Xiuyi's thin lips, gently teasing them, making Xiuyi's yearning heart no longer able to hold back...

After a long while, a snap of fingers interrupted their tender moment. Lin Ruoshui was startled when she saw the silver thread between her and Xiu Yi's lips.

She asked, "What's going on?"

Xiu Yi squinted at Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui looked down at herself, standing naked in front of Xiu Yi.

She slapped Xiuyi across the face.

The slap didn't land on Xiu Yi's face, but on his neck.

Xiu Yi licked his lips and said, "This is what you owe me." Then he stood up and walked out the door.

Lin Ruoshui crawled into bed, checked herself, and determined that she hadn't been violated. Frustrated, she bit the blanket hard with her teeth and glared fiercely at the ceiling, as if trying to bore a hole through it.

Xiu Yi walked out of the house with a bitter heart. He still couldn't bring himself to hurt her; he hoped she was willing.

But he knew that day might be a long time away, but he was willing to wait a little longer.

He has already cultivated the art of charm to the eighth level. Once he has mastered it completely, anyone will be willing to offer themselves to him if he so desires.

But all he wanted was her willingness, without any ulterior motives.

As dawn broke, Xuanyuan Yu returned to his room and lay down beside the sleeping Lin Ruoshui.

The two slept until the sun was high in the sky when Lin Ruoshui suddenly woke up, realizing she had forgotten about the military training that day!

She scratched her hair in frustration. When Xuanyuan Yu woke up and saw her adorable appearance, he hugged her and showered her with affection.

After washing up, the two arrived at the military camp.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand eyes rolled at Lin Ruoshui. Lin Ruoshui smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

She led 10,000 men out of the military camp, saying, "Whoever can run ahead of me after ten miles will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver."

The soldiers did not quicken their pace at all. Lin Ruoshui thought to herself, "Is one hundred taels too little?"

So she said, "Whoever can run ahead of me after ten miles will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver."

The soldiers' pace remained unchanged. Was she confused? Weren't five hundred taels enough?

Square-faced Xu Dali ran up to Lin Ruoshui and said, "Commander Ying, please don't add any more. I'm afraid you'll go bankrupt."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

"Because after ten miles, there probably won't be anyone behind you." Xu Dali grinned and laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell.

Looking around, Lin Ruoshui saw ten thousand soldiers with unyielding spirits, marching in unison, with broad shoulders and long legs. She then looked at herself, with her thin legs that were less than 1.5 meters tall.

No wonder they looked down on her. Lin Ruoshui gritted her teeth, unleashed her former prowess as the "Number One Speedster in China," and took off running, leaving the group nearly a hundred meters behind in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers behind her began to gradually pick up speed, and she ran forward recklessly, causing the soldiers behind her to run faster and faster.

A thrilling chase has begun.

Lin Ruoshui ran ahead like prey, with ten thousand burly men chasing after her, scaring the city guards so much that they almost closed the city gates.

Fortunately, Aiguo arrived in time and stopped the soldiers guarding the city.

Ten thousand and one people ran out of the city and headed towards where the three giant pandas were.

Upon seeing this, the sentries of Lanling Kingdom promptly reported to Baili Heng.

When Baili Heng heard that Lin Ruoshui was being chased by ten thousand brave soldiers, he was extremely anxious.

The spies from Longquan Kingdom promptly relayed the news to Ouyang Xuri. Ouyang Xuri was very curious: what kind of person would be relentlessly pursued by ten thousand men?

So he sent his secret guards to investigate.

Baili Heng led 10,000 cavalrymen on horseback to rescue Lin Ruoshui.

When Longquan Kingdom received news that Baili Heng had led 10,000 cavalry in pursuit, Ouyang Xuri couldn't sit still. Such a good opportunity! If they could capture Baili Heng, they wouldn't have to fight anymore.

Ouyang Xuri quickly mobilized his troops, leading 30,000 men to follow closely behind, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Lin Ruoshui took off running and covered thirty miles in one go, and not a single one of the ten thousand soldiers behind her managed to get ahead of her.

Lin Ruoshui climbed up a big tree, lay on the trunk, and waited for the people behind her to catch up.

When the 10,000 soldiers had run 20 miles, their legs were already trembling, they were having difficulty breathing, and they were exhausted.

"Who can run like that? Commander Ying is inhuman!" "I'm not getting those five hundred taels, you can run if you want." One soldier pushed another soldier who was also lying on the ground, panting heavily.

"I knew that pretty boy was a black-hearted jerk. Running so far and so fast almost killed me." "Tsk tsk tsk, you can't outrun someone, so you call them black-hearted? Why don't you admit you're a coward, unable to outrun them?"

"Hey, who are you talking about? Are you looking for a fight?" "I'm talking about you. Look at your square face. If you ate less, you'd be able to run faster." "Your face is even squarer than mine. How dare you talk to me like that?"

As they were talking, the two square-faced soldiers were about to fight.

Lin Ruoshui suddenly appeared and said, "Looks like you still have the energy to fight. Why don't you get up and keep running?"

The soldiers fell silent, lying or sitting on the ground, dejected.
