When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

At the critical moment, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and intercepted Yun Xiyue's dagger.

Yun Xiyue was shocked and immediately turned around, only to see Liu Yao standing behind her.

"What...what are you doing?" Yun Xiyue asked hesitantly.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuan sat up and looked at Yun Xiyue coldly.

Yun Xiyue looked at Lin Xuan in surprise and said, "You...you're not asleep?"

Lin Xuan sneered and silently got out of bed.

Yun Xiyue was pulled off the bed by Liu Yao.

"Master." Liu Yao handed the poisoned dagger she had seized to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan weighed the dagger in his hand, looking at Yun Xiyue with interest, and asked, "What, are you planning to murder your husband?"

Yun Xiyue snorted and said, "You destroyed my home first."

Lin Xuan smiled contemptuously and said, "You entered into a marriage of convenience with me, swindled my Lin family's fortune, and even though you're married, you still have feelings for someone else. Doesn't your behavior count as ruining my family?"

"I..." Yun Xiyue was speechless, and lowered her head to say, "That was your own choice."

"Interesting." Lin Xuan stood up and walked step by step toward Yun Xiyue. He made a grasping motion in the air, and red baleful energy gathered in his palm like quicksand, then quickly condensed into a demonic spear and vanquished.

Lin Xuan pointed his gun at Yun Xiyue and said, "Then why didn't you leave when I told you to?"

"I..." Yun Xiyue was speechless again.

"Could it be that there's something you haven't obtained yet?" Lin Xuan asked with a half-smile, then produced a black token.

Northern King's Decree!

Upon seeing the Northern King's Decree, Yun Xiyue exclaimed in astonishment, "You...you knew all about it?"

"Otherwise what?" Lin Xuan looked at Yun Xiyue with great interest, as if watching a clown performing a one-man show.

"Since you already know, then I have nothing more to say." Yun Xiyue tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and said, "Kill me."

Lin Xuan put away the Northern King's Decree and said, "Kill you? Why would I kill you?"

"If you don't kill me, you'll definitely regret it in the future," Yun Xiyue said through gritted teeth.

Lin Xuan snorted and said, "Things have come to this, you can leave now. Go find your Zhan-gege."

Yun Xiyue stood up, her eyes red-rimmed, and looked at Lin Xuan, saying, "I'll ask you one more time, was it really you who crippled my second brother?"

"It's me," Lin Xuan replied expressionlessly.

"Are you really that cruel? Or is it because of what happened between me and Zhan-gege that you vented your anger on my second brother?" Yun Xiyue asked.

Lin Xuan said, "Because of you? Yun Xiyue, stop being so self-righteous. I crippled Yun Xiao because he deserved to die. I spared his life, which was already giving him plenty of face."

After hearing Lin Xuan's answer, Yun Xiyue snorted, turned around and left.

"Master, should we go after them?" Liu Yao asked.

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "There's no need to chase after her; her luggage is still here."

"Does Master mean she will come back?" Liu Yao asked.

Lin Xuan shook his head again and said, "What I mean is, the three of you can wear her clothes."

Willow Waist: ...

After the three girls put on Yun Xiyue's clothes, they happily twirled around.

Yun Xiyue was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Yun family, and her clothes were all made of the finest materials, making them light and comfortable to wear.

Liu Yao asked, "Master, Madam ran away by herself in the middle of the night. Isn't she in danger?"

"What's the rush? Her older brother is also in the city. If there's real danger, Yun Cheng will show up. I'm more worried that she won't encounter any danger," Lin Xuan replied.

Peach asked softly, "Are you planning to use her as bait?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Smart."

Mu Mu stared blankly at everything, unable to understand what they were saying.

After a while, the black-armored soldier climbed in through the window, knelt before Lin Xuan, and reported: "Madam has checked into another inn and has not encountered any danger along the way."

"Besides you, is anyone else following her?" Lin Xuan asked.

The black-armored soldier shook his head and said, "No one else was found."

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, pondering, "Could it be that Yun Cheng has already left?"

Peach swayed her sexy hips and walked up to Lin Xuan, her posture extremely alluring, saying, "Master, if you want to find the person behind Madam, I have an idea."

"Speak." Lin Xuan looked at the sexy woman with a charming demeanor with great interest.

Peach said, "If you personally send someone to attack the madam, then the person hiding behind her will naturally reveal themselves."

"Ha, how could you even come up with such a stupid idea?" Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her.

Peach pouted pitifully and said in a coquettish tone, "Master~ I only meant well~ Humph!"

"Go and rest for now," Lin Xuan waved his hand, signaling Peach to leave.

Peach pursed her lips, thinking: Could it be that this guy doesn't fall for this? Impossible, no man can resist a flirtatious woman, or is he just pretending and needs me to be more alluring?

"Liu Yao, come here." Lin Xuan beckoned to Liu Yao.

Liu Yao walked up to Lin Xuan and bowed, saying, "Master."

"I'm going to open the spatial jade slip in a bit and enter the ancient battlefield, but no one can say for sure what's inside. Therefore, I need you to come with me," Lin Xuan said.

Liu Yao nodded in agreement and said, "This servant will do everything in her power to protect my master's safety."

Lin Xuan turned around and glanced at the others.

Peach smiled charmingly and gave Lin Xuan a coquettish look.

Lin Xuan's gaze swept past her and landed on Mei Si, who had not spoken a word.

"Meisi, you come with me too," Lin Xuan said.

With Liu Yao protecting him, Lin Xuan wouldn't worry about being betrayed.

As for Meisi, Lin Xuan planned to take this opportunity to test her.

After being called out by Lin Xuan, Mei Si pointed to herself with a blank expression.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Come with me."

Meisi said, "Master, my cultivation has not yet recovered."

Lin Xuan tossed her a few pills and said, "Take these."

Meisi looked at the pill in her hand, silently swallowed it, and her empty dantian was immediately filled with true qi.

"Your internal injuries will not flare up for now. Once we return from the ancient battlefield, I will heal your internal injuries and restore your cultivation to its peak," Lin Xuan said.

"Yes," Meisi said, bowing slightly.

Seeing that Liu Yao and Mei Si had both been called upon by Lin Xuan, Mi Tao, feeling neglected, said somewhat discontentedly, "Master~ what about me? I also want to go with Master~"

Lin Xuan said, "You stay here and help them protect Mu Mu."

"Can……"

"What, you don't want to?"

"No... This servant obeys."

Lin Xuan nodded and took out the spatial jade slip he had bought from the auction house.

This jade slip contains the secrets of an ancient battlefield.

Because its malevolent aura was too strong, no one dared to open it for inspection.

This means that many of the treasures inside have never been discovered.

For Lin Xuan, this was actually a good thing.

High risk is inherently accompanied by high returns.

Lin Xuan placed the jade slip in front of him, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

After the jade slip was bound to the user by blood, it instantly emitted a powerful energy.

The energy, like a cold wave, instantly invaded Lin Xuan's limbs and bones, making his body extremely cold, as if even his blood was frozen.
