On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

When Nalan Xueyan and Nalan Fengyun, grandfather and grandson, learned that Consort Xiao Ya had sold off her assets, they were both stunned.

"Grandpa, is Ye Fan going to run away?"

"I'm afraid so!"

Nalan Fengyun nodded heavily and said, "Otherwise, with Shen Murong besieged in Duanlong Valley, Ye Fan's eight hundred men would absolutely not be a match for the Quanrong tribe's three hundred thousand-strong army!"

"Besides, what would we need pills, monster cores, and spirit stones for saving people?"

"They're packing their valuables, getting ready to run away!"

Not only the Nalan family, but the entire Great Xia Dragon Capital was abuzz with discussion.

"Pfft! Hahaha... Ye Fan, you idiot, does he think no one can see through him?"

"They've sold off all their assets and still say they're going to rescue Shen Murong? It's laughable!"

"After tomorrow, the Great Xia Dynasty will no longer have the Prince of Zhenbei!"

……

The Great Xia Imperial Palace, the Cold Palace.

Li Youruo sat dejectedly on the threshold, her once stunningly beautiful face now deathly pale.

Her lips were chapped, and in just a few days, her eye sockets became sunken as she stared intently at a crooked tree inside the gate of the Cold Palace.

A foot-long white silk ribbon hung down, from which hung the corpse of a woman—it was Consort Jing!

"Heh... Hahahaha... Li Youruo, you brought this on yourself... You brought this on yourself!"

Li Youruo burst into laughter like a madwoman!

Early this morning, several concubines who had previously clashed with Consort Jing came to the Cold Palace and launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks at her.

Consort Jing suffered a mental breakdown and hanged herself, leaving Li Youruo to live on alone.

"Waaah... I'm sorry! Ye Fan, I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong... I didn't cherish your love, I was so pathetic, I really know I was wrong..." Li Youruo hugged her knees and cried bitterly.

Just then, two eunuchs passed by outside the door, discussing among themselves as they walked:

"This time, Ye Fan is completely doomed!"

"Who told him to be so arrogant? He's just a good-for-nothing wastrel. Shen Murong is surrounded by 300,000 Quanrong troops. Once Shen Murong dies, can this good-for-nothing Ye Fan still survive?"

"Exactly! If I had a father that powerful, I'd be much better than that good-for-nothing Ye Fan. Why would I have to become a eunuch in the palace?"

"But this good-for-nothing is smart enough to sell his family fortune and run away!"

"Hehe! Do you think he can get away?"

With a creak, the gate to the Cold Palace opened, and a weak voice came from inside.

"You two eunuchs, what did you just say? Is Prince Zhenbei, Ye Fan, trying to escape?"

The two eunuchs turned around and, upon seeing Li Youruo, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! Isn't this our Great Xia's eldest princess?"

"How did we end up in this state? Your Highness, were you speaking to us just now?"

"News from within the palace is very valuable; surely Her Highness the Eldest Princess knows this?"

Li Youruo groped herself for a while!

During the time she was imprisoned in the cold palace, all her valuables were exchanged with other eunuchs and palace maids for meager amounts of food and charcoal!

Only one jade pendant remained, a phoenix jade given to her by Li Fuyuan on her tenth birthday!

The carving was exquisite and priceless; the two eunuchs' eyes lit up with envy when they saw it!

"Give it to me!"

One of the eunuchs snatched the jade pendant from Li Youruo's hand!

But Li You's withered hands gripped his wrists tightly, with a strength like that of a demon!

"What are you doing? Let go! Let go now..." the little eunuch cried out anxiously.

Li Youruo's eyes were bloodshot: "Father-in-law! Do me a favor, and it's yours!"

"What do you want me to do?" the little eunuch asked.

Li Youruo gave a bitter laugh: "I'll probably never see Ye Fan again in my life! Go to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and tell Ye Fan that..."

At this point, Li Youruo was trembling all over!

A tear welled up and dripped down her cheek.

"...Just say you know you were wrong, that it was I, Li Youruo, who wronged him! I've received the punishment I deserve, and I hope he won't hold a grudge against me!"

"If I could, I would be his ox or horse in my next life to repay his kindness!"

The two eunuchs were taken aback: "That's it?"

"That's all." Li Youruo let go and returned to the depths of the Cold Palace like a walking corpse.

The two eunuchs smacked their lips, watching Li Youruo's departing figure: "So this is the once arrogant and disdainful Princess of Great Xia!"

"Heh heh, she's almost dead, finally she knows what a proud head looks like underground!"

The two eunuchs shook their heads with amusement and closed the gates of the Cold Palace!

A young eunuch asked, "Brother, what should we say? Should we deliver this message for her?"

Another eunuch replied, "Little Li, you must remember this!"

"The rule in the palace is: if you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding! Even though we're eunuchs and look down on people, we must never break the rules!"

"Great! I happen to be available for fieldwork tonight, I'll deliver the message!"

Sitting in the cold palace, I listened to the two eunuchs leave.

A crazy smile crept onto Li Youruo's lips!

Her expression was excited!

It was like grasping at a straw!

She had just overheard everything from the two eunuchs: Shen Murong was surrounded, and Ye Fan led eight hundred guards from the Prince's Palace to rescue him. Everyone in Longdu thought Ye Fan was going to run away, but Li Youruo alone believed that Ye Fan was definitely going to rescue him!

First of all, Ye Fan is definitely not the good-for-nothing playboy he used to be!

Second, Ye Fan will absolutely not run away!

Third, what if Ye Fan really saves Shen Murong!

In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, no one will be able to punish him! Not even the emperor on the throne!

Almost everyone in the Great Xia Dynasty wanted Ye Fan dead!

Only Li Youruo, the princess who once hated, looked down on, and didn't take Ye Fan seriously the most, hoped that Ye Fan would survive!

"Ye Fan, you absolutely have to win!"

……

Meanwhile, within the chaotic space.

Ye Fan frantically cultivated the "Dragon Blood Overlord Body Technique." The first level of the Dragon Blood Overlord Body Technique grants invincibility for a single breath!

The second level grants invincibility for five breaths!

With Ye Fan's current strength as a second-tier martial artist with six martial meridians!

Once you cultivate the "Dragon Blood Overlord Body Technique" to the second level, you will have the ability to protect yourself even when facing a Martial Spirit!

……

The next day at noon, Ye Fan came out of his room.

Hundreds of eyes turned towards them in an instant.

Xiao Yafei, Tang Miaoyi, and Su Ningshuang were all present. Wang Danian led eight hundred imperial guards from the Duke's mansion, all clad in armor, and a chilling aura swept over them!

"Young man, here are over 15,900 of the various pills you requested!"

"Monster cores, from Tier 1 to Tier 4 monsters, a total of 651!"

"And spirit stones, which are quite rare; there are only 103 in total!"

Ye Fan walked over and took a look.

There were more than a dozen boxes of pills and three boxes of monster cores. Each monster core was about the size of an egg and shimmered with different luster depending on the monster's attribute!

"Is this the spirit stone?"

Ye Fan picked up a spirit stone, about the size of a fingernail.

It contains powerful energy!

"I can mobilize the entire resources of the number one manor in the world; all the gold, antiques, and jewels in the Duke's mansion have been replaced according to your requirements!"

Xiao Yafei stared at Ye Fan and took a deep breath:

"Xiao Fan, even if you want to run away, I'll support you!"

Ye Fan laughed: "Sister Ya Fei, am I really that pathetic?"

Xiao Yafei breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Fan didn't want to run away; he really wanted to save people!

"Oh, by the way, Li Youruo sent a message to you!"

Ye Fan chuckled: "Heh, she probably wishes I'd die sooner, doesn't she?"

Xiao Yafei shook her head: "Then you guessed wrong. She said she knows she was wrong and is sorry! If there's a next life, she'll repay your kindness by being your servant!"

"What?"

Ye Fan was stunned for a long time.

Throughout the entire Dragon City, everyone believed he was doomed!

Instead of kicking someone when they're down, Li Youruo actually came to apologize?

He stopped dwelling on Li Youruo and asked, "How is Eighth Sister doing?"

Xiao Yafei's eyes turned serious: "The scouts report that we can only hold out for three more days at most!"

Ye Fan's expression was solemn. He had studied the matter yesterday and concluded that even traveling at full speed, it would take three days to reach Broken Dragon Valley!

Time is of the essence!

"Tang Miaoyi, where is what I asked for?" Ye Fan's gaze fell on Tang Miaoyi.

Tang Miaoyi's beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and there were blood vessels in them. It was clear that she hadn't slept all night!

"Your Highness, please look!"

Tang Miaoyi handed over a box.

Ye Fan opened it and saw the perfect metallic luster and the familiar design!

It's a modern AK47!
