Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

red lotus.

She held the throwing knife lightly between two fingers, looking down at Feng Niang and Bai Zhi.

Feng Niang felt her hair stand on end.

Master!

An absolute master!

The moment the other party appeared, Feng Niang felt as if the air around her had been sucked away.

An invisible pressure, like a mountain pressing down on her shoulders.

She tried to move, but found that her body wouldn't obey her commands.

He didn't even have the strength to pull out a second throwing knife.

With a throwing knife tucked between her fingers, Honglian leaped down from the eaves.

Without making a sound, it floated lightly down in front of the two of them.

Feng Niang gritted her teeth and forcefully activated her internal energy, preparing to fight to the death to block the opponent and buy Bai Zhi time to escape.

however.

Honglian then did something that completely surprised the two of them.

thump.

Honglian knelt on one knee, raising the throwing knife high above her head with both hands.

"Red Lotus, Commander of the Phoenix Hidden Guards, pays her respects to the two ladies."

Feng Niang was stunned.

Bai Zhi was also stunned.

The terrifying pressure dissipated instantly.

Fengniang was panting heavily, her back already soaked with cold sweat.

"What...what did you call me?" Fengniang stared at the red lotus on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the Phoenix Shadow Guards are responsible for the safety of the ladies of the harem. I was concealing my presence just now and disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

Phoenix Hidden Female Guards?

Fengniang and Baizhi exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

What exactly did Lin Mo do in the past two weeks?

Not only did he become emperor, but he also secretly cultivated such a terrifying assassin organization?

Moreover, this woman named Honglian possesses unfathomable strength.

If such an assassin were placed in the martial arts world, he could single-handedly wipe out a top-tier sect.

And now, she turns out to be just a bodyguard sent by Lin Mo to protect them?

"How many of you are there?" Bai Zhi asked softly.

"Your Majesty, the Phoenix Shadow Female Guards number three thousand. They are hidden agents spread throughout the palace and the capital."

Honglian answered truthfully.

hiss!

Feng Niang gasped.

Three thousand monsters of this level?!

"Get up."

Fengniang waved her hand and took the throwing knife.

Honglian stood up, her figure flickered, and she once again merged into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Fengniang looked at the empty eaves and swallowed.

"Bai Zhi, it seems our worries are somewhat unnecessary."

Bai Zhi nodded, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"The stronger you are, the more terrifying your enemies will be. My husband must have faced many dangers these past two weeks."

……

at the same time.

One side of the Imperial Garden.

The lively and restless Xia Man'er was wandering around aimlessly, carrying two large hammers.

"This palace is so boring. I've been wandering around for ages and there's not a single fun place to visit."

Xia Man'er muttered to herself and kicked a pebble off the roadside.

The pebble traced an arc in the air, passed through a moon gate, and landed in another courtyard.

boom!

The pebble seemed to have hit something, producing a crisp, sword-like sound.

"Who dares to ambush me!"

A clear, crisp female voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp white sword aura sliced ​​through the moon gate and slashed straight at Xia Man'er's face!

"Is there a master?!"

Xia Man'er's eyes lit up, her competitive spirit instantly ignited.

She swung the hammer in her hand and smashed it down to meet the sword energy.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion resounded in the Imperial Garden.

Xia Man'er's iron hammer collided fiercely with the sharp white sword energy.

A visible shockwave spread outwards, instantly turning several precious orchids nearby into fragments.

Xia Man'er felt a numbness in her arms as an extremely cold and sharp force drilled into her body through the hammer handle.

Her innate superhuman strength, which she was so proud of, was actually forced back three steps by this force.

"Such a domineering aura!"

Xia Man'er steadied herself, shook her aching wrists, and her big eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit.

A white-clad figure leaped out from behind the moon gate, sword in hand.

Xia Ruoling, dressed in a white dress, held the crystal-clear Mingxin Sword in her hand and glared angrily at Xia Man'er.

"Who are you?! You threw such a huge rock at me, damaging my Bright Heart Sword and costing me my KPI bonus. Can you afford to compensate me?"

Xia Ruoling put her hands on her hips and questioned loudly.

Xia Man'er was stunned for a moment.

KPI?

Commission?

What kind of nonsense is this?

"I haven't even asked you yet!"

Xia Man'er slammed her 800-pound iron sledgehammer into the ground, smashing a slab of bluestone.

"I am Xia Man'er, Lin Mo's wife! And who are you, you wild girl?"

"Lin Mo's wife?"

Xia Ruoling blinked her clear, big eyes. Instead of getting angry, she took two steps closer and looked Xia Man'er up and down.

"So you're His Majesty's first wife, whom he brought back from Zhenbei Prefecture!"

Xia Ruoling suddenly realized.

"My name is Xia Ruoling, the seventh princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and now also one of His Majesty's concubines!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Man'er's expression changed instantly.

The Seventh Princess of Great Xia?

In the past two weeks in the capital, Lin Mo not only overthrew the Great Xia Dynasty, but also managed to capture its princess?!

That's incredibly fast they managed to keep her hidden away!

"OK!"

Xia Man'er gritted her little tiger teeth, a surge of jealousy welling up inside her.

"I'd like to see what kind of seductive tricks you, a princess from the previous dynasty, have to seduce my husband!"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Man'er gripped the hammer handle tightly with both hands and suddenly exerted force with her waist.

"Take this!"

call--!

The 800-pound iron sledgehammer, with a piercing sound, crashed down on Xia Ruoling like Mount Tai.

Although Xia Man'er did not possess the true essence of immortality cultivation, she was born with superhuman strength. With this hammer blow, she could smash a large hole in even a three-inch-thick steel city gate.

Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Xia Ruoling remained completely calm.

Although she was somewhat "clear-headedly foolish," she possessed a "clear-minded swordsmanship" and had an extremely keen intuition for battle.

"How can you be so unreasonable? You just hit me like that!"
