Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Master!" Mu Chong and Mu Ying exclaimed in surprise the moment they saw Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu glanced at them and saw that they had dog leashes around their necks and were covered in wounds. Mu Ying's leg was completely bent, obviously caused by being beaten.

A cold glint flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes as she purchased two bottles of Life Essence from the system shop.

One bottle was given to Mu Ying to drink, and the other bottle was mixed with water by the Flying Tiger Army and given to Mu Chong and the rest of the injured members of the Mu family caravan.

Before long, the entire caravan appeared safely around Ying Yufu.

Most remarkably, Mu Ying's leg injury healed completely in an instant.

The members of the Mu family caravan looked at Ying Yufu with excitement; the family head was indeed a goddess.

They are honored to have such a head of the family.

Only one slightly overweight man stared at Ying Yufu with a look of horror on his face, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Musa, your master is truly amazing! That medicine really can regenerate severed limbs. Did you see it? I've really learned something new today."

In all my years as a merchant, this is the first time I've ever witnessed such a strange thing!

A member of the Mu clan next to him excitedly grabbed Musa's arm, his face and eyes filled with reverence for Ying Yufu.

Musa gave a stiff smile and nodded, "Yes, yes, I was stunned."

Musa's companions did not notice anything unusual about him.

Ying Hengzhi stood in the inn, the Southern Barbarian guards she had left behind were all subdued. She stared at Ying Yufu with a grim expression, her body trembling slightly.

She was afraid.

She feared Ying Yufu would kill her.

Ying Yufu stared at her, but did not step forward to slap her or humiliate her.

Just as Ying Hengzhi was becoming increasingly uneasy, Ying Yufu said calmly, "Break one of her legs."

Ying Hengzhi's expression changed instantly. "Ying Yufu, I am the chosen one of the Southern Barbarians..."

Her response was a kick from the Flying Tigers without hesitation.

Ying Hengzhi let out a heart-wrenching scream as she collapsed to the ground, one of her legs broken.

Ying Yufu looked down at her indifferently: "Chosen one? Don't you know what you are?"

"I'm not killing you, I just want to see how you, this jinx, will wreak havoc on the southern barbarians."

After Ying Yufu finished speaking, she turned and left.

Ying Hengzhi stared at Ying Yufu's retreating figure, her face deathly pale.

[Myna bird, she knows, she knows my destiny...]

System 008 paused for a moment before replying: "Her system is very powerful; it's not surprising that she knows these things."

What should I do now? My leg... hurts so much.

System 008: [Host, be patient. Perhaps things will turn around when we reach the Southern Barbarian Lands. Don't forget, we can absorb their fortune; we're sure to find a suitable recipient.]

Ying Hengzhi could only suppress her anger for the time being.

She was held captive by the Flying Tigers and imprisoned with Lan Yan and others.

Lan Yan and the others were heartbroken to see that Ying Hengzhi had broken a leg. She was their chosen one, and whether she could turn things around depended on her luck.

Now, the chosen one has been injured like this. These damned Northern Xuan people must have done it on purpose!

Two days later, all members of the Beast God Cult were executed, and all officials of all ranks in Yunzhou associated with the Beast God Cult were also put to death.

The Crown Prince sat in the center of the main hall of the government office, while Zhou Shichang knelt below him, dressed in a coarse gray robe, holding his official robes, hat, and seal in his hands, his head kowtowed to the ground, without uttering a word.

The crown prince looked at him and asked, "Zhou Shichang, are you resigning from your post?"

Zhou Shichang said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, although I am afflicted with the Heart-Eating Gu, I have indeed been incompetent and useless all these years. I know that my sins are unforgivable and I am unworthy to be the official in charge of Yunzhou."

The crown prince looked at him and said, "You are indeed guilty."

Zhou Shichang trembled slightly, but remained silent.

The Crown Prince then said, "Take a look at this secret letter first."

The crown prince held a letter he had just unfolded and read.

The Crown Prince handed the letter to Shengdong, who then passed it on to Zhou Shichang.

Zhou Shichang took the letter with a blank expression, and his eyes widened when he saw its contents.

"The Southern Barbarian Ancestral Witch is critically ill; a coup d'état has occurred in the Southern Barb

The Crown Prince, seated at the head of the table, said, "I must personally go to the Southern Barbarians. They will pay the price for what happened in Yunzhou. As the official in charge of Yunzhou, you should defend Yunzhou now."

Zhou Shichang's eyes were red-rimmed, and his hands, holding the official robes and seal, trembled violently. He glanced at the Crown Prince, kowtowed deeply, and said, "Your subject—obeys the Crown Prince's command."

The crown prince rose and walked outside: "Zhou Shichang, I hope you will not disappoint me again."

Zhou Shichang's face hardened, and he said loudly, "Your Highness, even if I die ten thousand times, I will never let Yunzhou be thrown into chaos again."

"I will risk my life to protect Yunzhou and await His Highness the Crown Prince's return."

What he had to protect was not only Yunzhou, but also the Crown Prince's rear.

If Yunzhou remains peaceful, the Crown Prince will be able to return safely from the Southern Barbarians.

Zhou Shichang turned around, watched the Crown Prince's departing figure, and bowed deeply once again.

Shengdong and Jixi followed on either side of the Crown Prince. Shengdong whispered, "Your Highness, is Yunzhou safe to be handed over to Zhou Shichang?"

The Crown Prince didn't even blink. "It's not important. I have Fu'er, and that's enough."

Shengdong: "!"

He and Jixi exchanged a glance. His Highness had reached the point of blindly following and believing in Princess Anguo!

Is there any cure for this?

The Heavenly Dragon System in his mind was speechless.

News of the upheaval in the Southern Barbarians quickly spread throughout Yunzhou. Even in the prison, Lan Yan and the others could still hear the Hu soldiers discussing it.

They were somewhat shocked, but more so it was expected.

After all, the Ancestral Witch was already seriously ill before they left.

They did not expect that at this time, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince of Beixuan would choose to go straight into the Southern Barbarian lands.

The Beixuan cavalry has taken over the three cities of Wuhai, Wuzhu, and Sentu. Although the cavalry seem fierce, these three cities were once under the control of the Southern Barbarians and are covered with jungles and poisonous miasma. Although Beixuan has taken over, it still needs the guidance of the local Southern Barbarians to truly control them. It will not be possible to completely control them in a short time.

It was unwise for the Crown Prince of Beixuan to choose this time to enter the Southern Barbarian lands.

Lan Yan and the others sat in the prison cart, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Barbarians so that they could regain the initiative.

The group traversed a jungle teeming with poisonous insects and snakes.

They were approaching at a considerable speed, and with Ying Yufu around, they were able to avoid some unnecessary casualties.

Ying Hengzhi was the one suffering the most; her broken leg was in excruciating pain, her cheeks were flushed, and she had been running a fever.

She was somewhat dazed when, just then, System 008's voice rang in her mind: "Host, I have found a suitable candidate for the destiny."

Ying Hengzhi was startled.

【who?】

System 008 said, "Peerless! Princess Minghuang."
