In the spring courtyard, Han Chunhua was thinking deeply about that horrible dream. How could it be? She had an evil destroyer talisman necklace that was supposed to give her good dreams. How the hell did it mutate into a terrible nightmare? She was still shaken by it.

It looks like she won't be able to sleep with her husband tonight.

And whoever did that to her--they should just wait! She will feed their flesh to her wild cat.

With that, she lay back on her bed but did not sleep. She was formulating a way to catch the one who caused the nightmare.

Back in the cold palace, Theresa had re-opened her eyes due to a very strong headache. What came into her view was the vision of Li Hua and Lan being hit by the bull rod just once.

She could see that their ribs were broken and even their arms had dislocated. They couldn't scream due to the gag but it was evident they held not much hope for life.

Why does she feel so close to them? The pain in her chest----

Suddenly lots of strange memories flooded her brain and she came into realization.

They once served the deceased Han Fei when she was still at her father's house but were forced to serve Han Chunhua when she married the emperor. Sometimes, they'd sneak to See Han Fei in her isolated courtyard and encourage her. They were a source of joy and hope to her but at this moment they were about to be killed.

Theresa immediately got up from the ground.

'Those bastards must pay" she yelled

In the alley, Ren opened his eyes due to a slight pain in his chest.

"Mistress! I need to go see her now" he muttered in panic.

Looking at those who were being chased by his flying bone whip, he sighed and created a barrier trapping the two men in it.

All the whip had to do was play with them for a while. Making sure that all was 'fine' he left riding on a sword which he did not need to do but, of course, he needs to show off.

Flying swords are considered treasures and if any sect has one or two it was a very good thing.

Now he's got something urgent to do although he doesn't deem it too urgent.

"The savage mistress is in danger"
