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

The rose petals in Xiu Yi's hand fell onto Xiu Yi's outer robe, where they were crushed and the lingering fragrance of the floral mud clung to the bodies of the two people.

Lin Ruoshui was subjected to repeated torment, which she had not anticipated.

The next morning, Lin Ruoshui woke up in a soft, large bed.

Xiuyi asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Ruoshui covered her head with the blanket; Xiu Yi had been like a thunder god yesterday.

Last night's thunder shook the entire sky, as if demonstrating its boundless power to the earth.

Thunder rumbled, creating ripples in the air and causing the earth to tremble.

Xiu Yi picked Lin Ruoshui up through the blanket and said, "It's already high in the sky. If you don't eat soon, your stomach won't be able to take it."

Lin Ruoshui remained huddled and motionless.

Helpless, Xiu Yi pressed her pressure points, preventing her from escaping.

He removed the blanket from Lin Ruoshui's body and helped her get dressed. He was very skilled at dressing people, and Lin Ruoshui felt like she was being electrocuted the whole time...

After a long while, with Lin Ruoshui charred and bruised from the electric shock, she finally finished dressing.

Xiu Yi took out the ugly little comb and began to comb Lin Ruoshui's hair. After only three strokes, her waterfall-like long hair stood straight up above her head.

Lin Ruoshui trembled all over from the electric shock.

Xiu Yi almost suffered internal injuries from holding back her laughter.

Lin Ruoshui's face was as black as charcoal the whole time, and electric currents surged through her body.

Finally, it was time to eat. Xiu Yi released Lin Ruoshui's pressure points, and Ouyang Xuri looked at Xiu Yi and Lin Ruoshui with a strange gaze.

Baili Heng picked up a papaya and put it in Lin Ruoshui's bowl.

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui was sensitive and suspicious, and a jolt of electricity still ran through her body. She thought to herself, "Could he be hinting at something to me?"

Ouyang Xuri looked at the dazed Lin Ruoshui and patted her shoulder, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruoshui trembled and jumped up, shouting, "Don't touch me!"

Ouyang Xuri was startled and asked, "Xiuyi, was she struck by lightning yesterday?"

Upon hearing the word "thunder," Lin Ruoshui rushed out of the dining room like an arrow released from a bow.

Lin Ruoshui, whose body was electrified, dared not let anyone get close to her, and she put on a look that said "keep away."

She arrived at the tent where Xuanyuan Yu's crystal coffin was placed. Zhongjun and Aiguo were burning paper money, and Physician Li was offering condolences.

Lin Ruoshui stared blankly at Xuan Yuan Yu, her eyes brimming with tears of blood. She asked, "Your Highness, are you really in the place where I live? Are you lying to me?"

Zhongjun and Aiguo comforted him, saying, "Commander, please accept our condolences!"

"Does anyone know Wu Daozi?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

Zhongjun said, "That Wu Daozi must have extremely high martial arts skills and very strong internal strength. There are very few people in this world who possess such abilities."

Lin Ruoshui blinked, and tears of blood streamed down her face. She asked, "How much do you know about that Wu Daozi?"

Physician Li said, "He must be a traitor who fled the Immortal Emblem Realm many years ago."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Then my royal brother must know him."

When Physician Li saw Lin Ruoshui crying tears of blood, he knew she was truly heartbroken. He said, "They should know each other."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Then I will write a letter to my brother now."

As soon as the shadow appeared, it knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, we have found out Ouyang Huaide's whereabouts."

Lin Ruoshui wiped the blood and tears from her face with her sleeve, stood up and said, "Speak quickly!"

Ying Yi said, "They are currently at Fengding Mountain, about 100 miles north of Huaiding City."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Let's go, let's go inside the tent and take a look at the map." After saying that, she took a step and tripped on the threshold.

As Yingyi and Physician Li stepped forward to help her up, Lin Ruoshui felt as if both of her arms were being struck by electric current at the same time.

Lin Ruoshui scrambled and shook off their hands.

Yingyi and Physician Li looked completely bewildered, not understanding why she had lost her composure like this.

Baili Heng walked into the tent and saw Lin Ruoshui with a calm expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ruoshui was looking at a map with Ying when Baili Heng entered. She said expressionlessly, "Come, take a look. According to the scouts, Ouyang Huaide is lying in ambush at Fengding Mountain."

When Baili Heng saw the blood and tears still wet on Lin Ruoshui's face, he remained silent, only feeling heartbroken.

He pointed to the map and said, "We are heading to Wuling, and Fengding Mountain is the only way through."

Fengding Mountain is a canyon, making it an excellent location for an ambush.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Set up an ambush for us? I wonder if his head is tougher than that bomb."

Baili Heng said, "I have a detailed map of the Fengding Mountain area." He naturally took Lin Ruoshui's hand and led her to the desk.

Lin Ruoshui was taken aback at first, then jumped high like a monkey and broke free from Baili Heng's hand.

A silence fell over the tent, where only Lin Ruoshui, trembling from the electric shock, could be seen.

Lin Ruoshui said awkwardly, "Yes, yes... I'm sorry!"

Baili Heng smiled as he looked at Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui didn't dare look him in the eye and said, "You...you...hurry up and take out the drawing and put it on the table."

Baili Heng obeyed and did as he was told.

Lin Ruoshui carefully examined the map and discovered that there was a Heavenly Pool on Fengding Mountain, as well as a basin not far away, and a very thin mountain range nearby.

Lin Ruoshui snapped her fingers and said, "Great! Shadow One, Shadow One, send someone to investigate this place. I need the most detailed topographical maps of these three locations."

Shadow One accepted the order and withdrew.

For a moment, only Baili Heng and Lin Ruoshui remained in the room.

The awkward atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Xiu Yi came in and used a handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains from Lin Ruoshui's face.

Lin Ruoshui turned to leave, but Xiuyi pressed her pressure points and carried her onto the horse.

He took out the silk scarf that Lin Ruoshui had used to blindfold her last night from his pocket and gently tied it over her eyes.

Unable to speak or move, Lin Ruoshui felt a chill in her heart, thinking, "Xuanyuan Yu, I will keep my promise to you!"

Upon reaching the tent in the woods, Xiuyi carried her inside again.

Intermittent breathing could be heard from the tent. The sun, high in the sky, blushed and hid away, while the moon shyly climbed onto the treetops.

The next day, Lin Ruoshui woke up without feeling tired. She sat up naked, and two dark clouds above her head kept colliding violently, sending bolts of lightning that struck Lin Ruoshui's nerves.

Lin Ruoshui stretched out her trembling hand and pointed into the void, saying, "Xiuyi!"

Xiu Yi walked into the tent with a refreshed expression and a smile on her face.

Lin Ruoshui brushed the dark cloud over her head, quickly dressed herself, took out a small comb from Xiu Yi's arms, and began to comb her hair.

As she combed her hair, she casually asked, "Xiuyi, have you been with many women?"

Xiu Yi said, "No."

Lin Ruoshui frowned in surprise and asked, "Am I your first woman?"

Xiuyi nodded and smiled.

Lin Ruoshui cupped her hands in a fist salute, her lips twitching as she said, "You...you are truly...incredibly gifted!"

Xiu Yi smiled, pursing her lips.

Baili Heng said, "I've prepared steamed buns and porridge for you. Let's go back to the camp now."

Upon hearing that there were steamed buns and porridge, Lin Ruoshui immediately got up.

When Xiu Yi saw Lin Ruoshui, who looked like a little rabbit, he was so fond of her that he wished he could hold her in his arms all the time.

In the dining room, Ouyang Xuri ate his steamed buns elegantly, watching Lin Ruoshui stride in.

Seeing that she was no longer as easily startled as she had been yesterday, he felt somewhat relieved.

Lin Ruoshui said, "According to the scouts, Ouyang Huaide is now the Grand General of Longquan Kingdom."

Ouyang Xuri suddenly felt that the steamed bun in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Lin Ruoshui stared at Ouyang Xuri and said, "If you want to go back, you can leave now."

Ouyang Xuri said, "My father has always favored Ouyang Huaide. I am merely a tool to help him conquer the country. The battle of Huaiding City showed that Ouyang Huaide is cruel and ruthless. How can I associate with him and help the wicked?"

Hearing him say that, Lin Ruoshui patted Ouyang Xuri on the shoulder and said, "You're right. With a person like him, even if you help him, you won't escape the fate of being discarded like a bird after its harbinger is dead, or a dog after its hunt is over."

Ouyang Xuri put his elbow on Lin Ruoshui's shoulder and said, "I think your firearms are amazing. If you have the chance, can you build me an army like that?"

Lin Ruoshui crossed her arms and said, "If you can afford it, I can build you an invincible army."

"How much?" Ouyang Xuri asked with interest.

"Maybe you could sell yourself or your kidney?" Lin Ruoshui said arrogantly.

Ouyang Xuri clutched his stomach and said, "Don't even think about taking advantage of me."

Lin Ruoshui's face turned bright red with anger.

Ouyang Xuri pointed at her face and said, "You're blushing? You disgusting man."

After saying that, he grabbed Lin Ruoshui by the neck with his elbow and was about to teach her a lesson.

Lin Ruoshui was so frightened that she kept calling for Xiuyi.

Baili Heng, who was standing at the door, walked in and struck out with a palm without saying a word. Ouyang Xuri dodged by grabbing Lin Ruoshui's neck, almost breaking her neck in the process.

Lin Ruoshui cursed, "Ouyang Xuri, you little bastard, let me go right now, or I'll cripple you!"

Baili Heng panicked when he saw Lin Ruoshui's tears welling up with pain.

Ouyang Xuri shoved her onto his shoulder and said, "You're mine tonight."

Lin Ruoshui shouted, "Let me go right now!"

Baili Heng struck again, but Ouyang Xuri, carrying Lin Ruoshui, dodged.

Lin Ruoshui said angrily, "Let me go, let me go right now..."

Ouyang Xuri paused, then placed Lin Ruoshui in a seat and straightened her clothes, saying, "I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are, you're not like a man at all!"

Lin Ruoshui jumped up, looked up and glared angrily, saying, "Your joke is not funny at all."

Ouyang Xuri sat back down at the table, elegantly picked up his chopsticks, then elegantly picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and said, "Don't even think about me, you disgusting man."

Lin Ruoshui said to Baili Heng, "I need to talk to you. See you in the camp later."

After saying that, she turned and left the dining hall, heading to her tent.

Baili Heng watched Ouyang Xuri eating his steamed buns with natural elegance, and he remained silent.

He understood Ouyang Xuri's thoughts. As men, they both loved someone but couldn't have her; the pain was excruciating and agonizing.

Xiu Yi looked at the two men in front of him from the doorway. He frowned, then smiled calmly and turned to find Lin Ruoshui.
