Mu Qingge sneered inwardly.
The 120,000 demon soldiers before her were all subordinates of Su Sheng and She Yin; she had no illusions that a few words could win their loyalty.
Therefore, she couldn’t be bothered to waste words; letting actions speak was better.
"Vassal Lord Su Sheng, Vassal Lord She Yin, I have a significant task that needs to be entrusted to you," Mu Qingge suddenly changed the topic, her tone gaining a few degrees of sincerity.
"Please speak, Princess," Su Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke sullenly.
He wouldn’t entangle with Mu Qingge, as once on the battlefield, his soldiers would still listen to him, ignoring whatever an ignorant princess says.
Mu Qingge flashed a stunning smile. "This important task is related to the safety of the royal offspring. Besides Vassal Lord Su Sheng and Vassal Lord She Yin, I do not trust anyone else’s capability."
Mu Qingge spoke slowly.
However, Su Sheng and She Yin felt a vague sense of unease arising in their hearts.
Just as they were pondering where this ominous feeling originated, Mu Qingge’s next words nearly made them spit blood in anger.
"Therefore, I entrust my safety to you both. Please, you two must, absolutely, protect me well," Mu Qingge said with a grin.
Su Sheng and She Yin stared wide-eyed at her, feeling an enormous impact on their minds.
"Ahem." Qing Yan suppressed his laughter, coughed lightly, and turned his head towards Ji Fu.
Ji Fu instantly understood.
’That’s why the Princess said she wouldn’t give them a chance to plot against her!’ His eyes were burning with admiration as he gave a silent smile, beginning to respect this Princess.
"Do you think she really is the King’s woman?" Qing Yan suddenly whispered in Ji Fu’s ear.
Ji Fu looked at him confusedly.
Qing Yan laughed, his eyes filled with unabashed appreciation for Mu Qingge. The teardrop mole under his eye appeared particularly seductive. "Now, I rather hope she’s just someone Gu Ya and Gu Ye hired for show, instead of being the King’s woman."
Ji Fu frowned, catching the hint in his words.
Just as he was about to issue a warning, Qing Yan added playfully, "Don’t worry. In my heart, the King is the most important. If she truly is the King’s woman, when the King returns, I’ll ask him to tell me where he met such an extraordinary lady so that maybe I might try my luck there too."
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it——!
How could this happen?
Su Sheng and She Yin were almost losing it!
The original plan was shattered by Mu Qingge’s unexpected words, and now they had to protect her safety!
For the sake of the royal bloodline!
If you’re so worried, why even come? Just stay quietly in the Taixuan Ancient Palace!
Su Sheng and She Yin were filled with anger, their faces darkened.
Now, the Princess had entrusted her safety to them. If something happened to the Princess, they would be implicated, regardless of their involvement.
That is to say, if something happened to the Princess, whether they had a hand in it or not, they would be held responsible and bear the blame.
Therefore, to avoid blame, they must exert all efforts to ensure the Princess’s safety, ensuring no harm comes to her.
Having been played, Su Sheng gritted his teeth, sneering at Mu Qingge, "The Princess is quite calculative." At this moment, he no longer cared whether his previous thoughts were exposed, only wanting to vent his inner resentment.
Yet, Mu Qingge was even thicker-skinned than they imagined. She neither felt embarrassed by his taunt nor played dumb, instead gracefully nodding with a smile, "The Great Feudal Lord overpraises."
...
The army finally set off, heading towards the banks of the Menglan River.
Along the way, Su Sheng and She Yin were both incredibly sullen. However, Mu Qingge was in a relatively good mood. The only thing troubling her was that the demon guards sent to the Ancient Insect Abyss to inquire about Si Mo had yet to report any useful information.
Where exactly is Si Mo?
As for the upcoming battle at the Menglan River, she wasn’t overly concerned. It wasn’t due to blind confidence in herself or underestimating the enemy. It was because she understood that since the Alien Race and the Demon Realm had been at odds for so many years, with neither side prevailing, it meant that this battle likely wouldn’t see any significant changes either.
Suddenly, sitting on Xiao Cai, Mu Qingge’s eyes brightened. She asked Gu Ya beside her, "Could his disappearance be related to the Alien Race?"
Gu Ya and Gu Ye were stunned, both shaking their heads in unison.
Gu Ya said, "It shouldn’t be possible. The King left alone after receiving a secret report, and the Alien Race can’t reach the Ancient Insect Abyss. Every entrance the Alien Race can enter within the Taixuan Demon Realm is guarded by Demon Realm soldiers, making it impossible for one to slip through, let alone threaten the King."
Si Mo’s disappearance has nothing to do with the Alien Race.
This revelation made Mu Qingge both relieved and anxious.
As each possibility is eliminated, what exactly happened to Si Mo? Who was he going to meet at the Ancient Insect Abyss that day?
Since he has yet to return and there has been no news, could that meeting have been a trap?
And who would want to kill him?
