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

The three old men clutched their chests and coughed up blood. One of them recognized Xiu Yi and said, "So it's the Buddha-Demon Xiu Yi from the Immortal Emblem Secret Realm. We three rats were blind to your greatness. Please spare our lives."

Xiu Yi used her inner strength to say, "I'll let you go today, but if you show your faces again, you will all die!"

The three old men helped each other to their feet and fled with Mo Qing, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and unconscious.

Bright stars twinkled in Lin Ruoshui's eyes as she walked up to Xiu Yi and exclaimed, "Xiu Yi, you're so handsome! I can't even look you in the eye!!!"

At this moment, Lin Ruoshui looked at Xiu Yi again: her bright eyes were like stars shining in the night sky.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of an angel soaring through the air.

Angel Xiu Yi smiled alluringly, a contradictory beauty appearing on him.

He joked, "If you're this obsessed with me, I can let you have me tonight."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Okay, you're mine tonight!"

Xiu Yi pinched Lin Ruoshui's chin and gently kissed her lips, saying, "I will always be yours, and you can enjoy me to your heart's content."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Since you put it that way, then I'm not in a hurry to enjoy it. Tell me first, when will you teach me that technique that can kill people?"

Xiu Yi regretted what he had just said. He said, "Don't rush. Let's finish practicing our internal energy first, and then we'll start practicing the new techniques."

Lin Ruoshui said, "What you said makes sense! Didn't you ask me to name the dual cultivation technique before? I've already thought of one. Let's call it 'Yixiu Divine Skill'."

Upon hearing the name "Yi Xiu Divine Skill," Xiu Yi felt as if she had been split apart.

He repaired the crack himself and said indulgently, "As long as you're happy, you can call me whatever you want."

"Then what's the name of your technique for reciting the names of dead people?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

"How about calling it 'The Supreme Demon-Subduing Technique'? I created this internal skill myself," Xiu Yi said.

Lin Ruoshui knelt down before Xiu Yi with a "plop" and said, "Master, please accept my bow."

Xiu Yi said, "You are now my master's wife, and you can no longer be my disciple. The moment you ruined my reputation, you were already promoted to master's wife."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "Do you have any other disciples?"

Xiu Yi said, "No, it's just you, and now you've become my master's wife."

Lin Ruoshui fawned, "That's alright, teach me all your divine skills, and I'll help you carry them forward."

Xiu Yi said, "As long as I don't have to teach them, you can take on as many disciples as you want."

Lin Ruoshui's admiration for Xiuyi was like a surging river, never-ending.

She was like a curious little girl, or a little fangirl, constantly asking Xiuyi all sorts of questions.

For her last question, she said, "Master, you are also from the Immortal Emblem Realm, so you should know my brother Chu Xiao, right?"

Xiuyi nodded.

Lin Ruoshui said, "Then we are really destined to meet."

Xiu Yi said, "It was Chu Xiao who wrote to the Immortal Emblem Secret Realm to ask his master for help in resolving your soul exchange problem."

His master is my junior brother, and he needed my help, which is why I came to you.

Lin Ruoshui said, "So that's how it is. You were asked by my brother to help me?"

Xiu Yi said, "I originally planned to give you the Soul Lock and leave, but when I first saw you, you were licking a candied hawthorn, and I..."

Lin Ruoshui asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiu Yi said, "Let's not talk about it. Anyway, you've caught my eye, entered my heart, and now you're mine. I can die without regrets."

Lin Ruoshui quickly covered Xiu Yi's mouth and said, "Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense."

The word Lin Ruoshui fears most now is "death," a word that evokes her deepest dread.

Xiuyi understood her thoughts and said to her, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you in this life."

Lin Ruoshui said, "Thank you! Xiuyi, thank you!"

“If you say thank you again, I’ll get angry. If you really want to thank me, you should thank me yourself.” Xiu Yi picked up a strand of Lin Ruoshui’s hair and played with it.

Lin Ruoshui blushed and said, "Didn't I already thank you?"

"You should thank me every night; that's the most sincere way to express your gratitude," Xiu Yi said, grasping Lin Ruoshui's slender waist with his large hand and pulling her into his embrace.

Xiu Yi set up a warm tent on the mountaintop and carried Lin Ruoshui inside.

Their fingertips intertwined, like two hearts dancing to a melody. Every touch seemed to ignite a spark of love, making their eyes see only each other.

The red silk curtains are warm, the whole tent is enchanting, the dragon leaps and the tiger strides, even the immortals envy!

Sweat beaded on Xiu Yi's forehead. He gently kissed Lin Ruoshui's forehead and said, "Sleep now!" Lin Ruoshui fell into a deep sleep.

Xiu Yi stared intently at her. He understood Lin Ruoshui's feigned strength. If he didn't let her fall asleep exhausted every night, he believed she wouldn't sleep at all.

When she was alone, the sorrow she inadvertently revealed seemed to engulf her completely.

She buried her pain deep inside, afraid that it would be seen and exposed.

Xiu Yi used his gentleness and thoughtfulness to constantly heal her pain, believing that one day she would see things clearly and find peace.

Meanwhile, as Lin Ruoshui and Xiuyi lay entwined in bed...

On the western slope of Fengding Mountain, the flames of war raged and smoke filled the air.

After the explosion, Baili Heng led the First Army of the World to the military camp of the Longquan Kingdom's main force to clean up the mess. Countless people were killed or injured at the scene.

The ambush of the number one army in the world, which was lying in wait on the eastern slope of Fengding Mountain, was also doomed.

A series of deafening explosions ripped through the night sky as Tianchi Lake was destroyed.

The waters of Tianchi Lake flow swiftly for thousands of miles, an unstoppable force.

The surging water, like a wild horse unleashed, rushed out wildly, sweeping everything away.

Boulders, trees, and ambushes were swept away in a mighty torrent into the low-lying basin.

Its momentum seemed to threaten to engulf the entire world in its raging torrent.

The water crashed against the mountainside, creating a deafening roar, as if it were nature's anger and warning.

Following Lin Ruoshui's instructions, Meng Tuo and Guo Bohan witnessed the breathtaking scene from the mountain above the basin.

Countless ambushers were swept into the basin without any chance to resist.

The two generals truly admired Lin Ruoshui, who had wiped out the two million-strong ambush force of Longquan Kingdom without losing a single soldier.

Meng Tu patted Guo Bohan on the back and said, "General, you are truly a divine being."

Guo Bohan said, "With the help of the military lord, we will surely conquer the world!"

Meng Tuo said, "Who can surpass the military commander's talent?"

Guo Bohan asked, "Then will this world ultimately belong to the military lord?"

Meng Tuo said, "It is a secret of heaven; how can you and I, mere mortals, fathom it?"

Guo Bohan said, "Okay, let's go catch some big fish." He led the soldiers down the mountain with steady and powerful steps.

……

The next morning, Lin Ruoshui was awakened by Xiu Yi's kiss. Still sleepy, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "Is it dawn yet?"

Xiuyi said, "It's dawn, you should get up."

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Why are we sleeping like this, just like yesterday?"

"Hmm, the Crane Neck Pose." Xiu Yi rubbed her legs and said, "My legs are numb, you should get up."

Lin Ruoshui stood up in shame and quickly dressed.

Xiu Yi helplessly pulled her over and made her sit on his lap, then carefully fastened the buttons on her clothes one by one.

Lin Ruoshui blushed and said, "You should put your own clothes on. I'll put mine on myself."

Xiu Yi said, "Let me do it."

The two, dressed neatly, arrived at Fengding Mountain.

Baili Heng had been waiting for Lin Ruoshui to return. When he saw the slender figure walking in the distance, his heart ached.

She's lost weight. She's lost a lot of weight since Xuanyuan Yu died. Xiuyi is usually very good at taking care of people, so why has she become so thin in such a short time?

Little did she know, she was eating and vomiting every day.

She vomits everything she eats, so she probably has anorexia.

She couldn't possibly be like this unless she was extremely grieving, but she hid it very well.

She can eat, offer advice, have sex, look at the stars, and breathe... but she will never cry again, nor will she show any signs of heartache.

Lin Ruoshui approached Baili Heng and said, "You all worked hard yesterday. Did you get a lot?"

Baili Heng said, "Very large!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and someone carried Ouyang Huaide, who was missing both legs, up.

Seeing Ouyang Huaide's near-death state, Lin Ruoshui said, "Please ask Physician Li to treat him and make sure he lives."

Baili Heng said, "You want to send him back to Longquan Kingdom?"

Lin Ruoshui turned to look at Baili Heng and said, "Hengheng, you always understand my thoughts so well."

Baili Heng was slow to react when Lin Ruoshui called him "Hengheng". Baili Heng was overjoyed at the affectionate nickname "Hengheng".

Lin Ruoshui continued, "Heal him, send him back to Longquan Kingdom, and let him experience what it's like to be worse than dead."

"Tell him to tell the emperor of Longquan that he has offended me and will face my wrath; Longquan will surely disappear from this world within six months."

Baili Heng said, "Good!"

……

Ten days later, the world's number one army arrived in Wuling, the capital of Lanling Kingdom.

Baili Heng gazed at this place he knew all too well, his heart heavy with depression like dark clouds.

Lin Ruoshui came over and put her arm around his shoulder to give him strength.

Baili Heng looked down at Lin Ruoshui's delicate face and said, "I'm back. I'm finally going to avenge my father, mother, sister, grandfather, and aunt!"

Baili Heng's eyes stung, and tears instantly welled up in them.

Lin Ruoshui put her arm around his shoulder and patted him gently, saying, "We'll get our revenge soon. We should be happy and celebrate."

Baili Heng felt the power transmitted by Lin Ruoshui, and that power dispelled the gloom in his heart.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and said, "Thank you, Yingying!"

Lin Ruoshui pushed him away and punched his chest with her small fist, saying, "We are brothers, and brothers should be loyal to each other!"

Baili Heng responded with a wry smile and a soft "Mmm!"

"Let's go, let's discuss the siege plan together~" Lin Ruoshui smiled as she saw that Baili Heng had emerged from his gloom.

Baili Heng thought to himself, "She is full of bitterness in her heart, yet she can still comfort me. What kind of resilient spirit does she have?"

Baili Heng said, "Is this another plan that won't cost a single soldier?"

Lin Ruoshui said, "The most perfect plan is to minimize casualties."

I don't hate war, but I hate death.

"The gas tanks have arrived. Why don't we use them to our advantage, Your Highness? What do you think?"
