People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

He strongly suspected that Wushuang Gui's later unwavering loyalty to Wei Zhuang was due to Yan Lingji's instructions.

If he remembered correctly, Honglian, who would later become Chilian, used the same fire charm technique as Yanlingji.

Yan Lingji was taken aback. "Hey, how can you just ask me to go with you like that?"

Cheng Jiao was wiping his sword, watching with great interest as Cao Ze flirted with Yan Ling Ji.

Cao Ze coughed lightly, a half-smile on his face, and said, "So what do you want me to do for you to be willing?"

Yan Lingji glanced at Jing Ni and Li Wu not far away, and said timidly and delicately, "Then how about you make them listen to me?"

"Heh, you want them to help you rescue Tianze? You want them to help you?"

Yan Lingji froze, her original delicate and alluring appearance vanishing completely.

She swallowed hard.

Cao Ze's words, which had just revealed her true feelings, sent a chill down her spine and made her feel cold inside.

Who exactly is this person?

……

Two days later, Cao Ze and his group entered South Korea.

Yan Lingji sat in the donkey cart with a sullen expression.

She glanced at Jingni with her child on the left, then at Liwu, who was humming a little tune as she drove the donkey cart.

She raised her pretty face and sighed deeply, then slammed it down, covering her face, feeling that her future was bleak.

The sky was dark.

Cao Ze rode his snow-covered horse to the car window, took out a piece of dry firewood, and said, "Fire-starter, can I borrow a light?"

Yan Lingji was furious and said angrily, "How many times have I told you? My name is Yan Lingji! Not some Fire-Striking Princess!"

Cao Ze: "Okay, Fire Girl, light a fire."

Yan Lingji glared at Cao Ze's hand holding dry firewood and spat out a burst of flames, intending to roast a large pig's trotter.

Cao Ze smiled and activated the Golden Light Spell, easily blocking Yan Lingji's fire breath without affecting the lighting of the firewood.

That's what you call professional.

Yan Lingji sat dejectedly next to Jing Ni in the donkey cart, looking rather listless.

I can't argue with him, I can't beat him, am I really going to let this kid control me to death?

If it weren't for Wushuang's ability to leave and to rescue her master Tianze, she wouldn't want to stay here.

She was afraid that she wouldn't live to see Xinzheng, or she would be furious.

Jingni glanced at the campfire burning outside the car window and said calmly, "Get out of the car."

Yan Lingji slumped her head and said weakly, "Okay."

She dared not provoke this cold woman.

This woman actually dared to draw her sword and make several cuts on her body, unlike Cao Ze, who only talked to her and at most exchanged insults.

Cao Ze leisurely grilled a few fragrant fish and handed them to Jing Ni Li Wu, as well as Yan Ling Ji who had been eyeing them with envy.

Cheng Jiao was munching on dry rations on the side. He didn't like eating fish with many bones, even if they smelled delicious.

Cao Ze took a sip of water and said, "I have something to tell you."

The group looked at Cao Ze, but Yan Lingji ignored them and continued eating her grilled fish.

Back in Baiyue, she had never eaten grilled fish with so many spices.

It's so delicious!

Cao Ze said, "We've already entered South Korea, so it's best if we don't travel to Xinzheng together."

Yan Lingji slowed down her chewing and quietly pricked up her ears.

There's a secret, there's definitely a secret.

Cao Ze continued, "We'll split into two groups, one in the open and one in the shadows. Brother Cheng and I will be in the open, while you, Jing Ni, and Li Wu Yan Ling Ji will be in the shadows."

Jing Ni nodded slightly; splitting up was the safest course of action.

Cheng Jiao pondered for a moment and said, "This is not bad."

"Even if something happens to us, with Jingni's skills, she can help us escape danger and catch the enemy off guard."

Yan Lingji looked at Cheng Jiao, who was still wearing a mask, and rolled her eyes. "What kind of enemy?"

Li Wu glared at Yan Lingji, "Just eat your food, this is none of your business."

Yan Lingji snorted but did not refute.

She can't beat this woman either; she just tried yesterday...

at night.

Cao Ze quietly approached Yan Lingji, who was sleeping against the tree trunk.

Startled, Yan Lingji almost pulled out the fire spirit hairpin from her hair and stabbed Cao Ze three times, leaving six holes in his head.

What do you want to do?

Yan Lingji said somewhat nervously.

Cao Ze sat on the tree trunk and, like a thief, pulled something out of his pocket.

These are the Baiyue runes that he copied from the "Seven Mansions" scroll over the past two days.

If it weren't for the need to conceal the map on the "Seven Mansions" scroll, I would have asked Yan Lingji about it two days ago.

He chuckled softly, "I'll show you a treasure."

Yan Lingji isn't a little girl; Cao Ze's ambiguous words made her feel terrible.

She often uses her beauty to her advantage, but that's just a means for her to protect herself and kill her enemies.

She has remained chaste to this day, and could not bear Cao Ze's blatant words.

"you dare!"

Yan Lingji glared angrily, looking exactly like a frightened rabbit.

You can shout until you're hoarse, but no one will come to save you... Cao Ze chuckled to himself, seeing Yan Lingji's reaction, he clearly knew there was a misunderstanding.

"Alright, it's just something I showed you, why are you so nervous?"

Yan Lingji glanced at the silk scroll Cao Ze had spread out and asked in surprise, "Baiyue runes?"

Cao Ze asked excitedly, "Do you know what these runes mean?"

Yan Lingji flicked a small flame with her finger, and by its light, she could see a little more clearly.

"These are runes used exclusively by the Baiyue royal family."

She stated bluntly, "I'm not royalty, so I don't know."

Cao Ze: "..."

Chapter 230 Shocking! The Queen is Pregnant!

Looking into Yan Lingji's dreamlike, deep blue eyes, Cao Ze's face hardened, and he asked, "Really?"

He strongly suspected that Yan Lingji was saying this on purpose, hoping he would get Tianze out of trouble.

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and pouted, "Believe it or not!"

Cao Ze chuckled: "If you're lying to me, I'll have Jing Ni beat you up!"

Yan Lingji said fiercely, "Don't try to scare me with her!"

Because it really works… Cao Ze smiled maliciously, “Really?”

In the past two days, he has witnessed Jing Ni frequently teaching Yan Ling Ji a lesson for her restless attempts to escape.

Yan Lingji glanced at Jing Ni, who was meditating, coughed, and said in a serious tone, "It's fake!"

Cao Ze was slightly disappointed and said with regret, "That's such a pity."

He actually wanted Yan Lingji to keep being stubborn.

Yan Lingji ground her white teeth, her anger causing the large, monstrous thing in front of her to swell and throb, making her chest ache.

“These are runes that only the royal family of Baiyue would know.”

Yan Lingji finally restrained herself; she didn't want to fight Jing Ni and suffer the consequences.

Cao Ze nodded thoughtfully, without refuting Yan Lingji. He had just remembered that in the original trailer, Tianze did indeed lead the Hundred Poison King and the others to a certain place, and even had the Hidden Witch release a cool and impressive rune array.

So here's the question: with Tianze's brain being only half that of Wu Bai, how did he find the place that was suspected to contain the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?

Seeing Cao Ze deep in thought, Yan Lingji blinked her bright blue eyes, which were shimmering with light and were quite beautiful.

She tried to seduce Cao Ze: "My master, Tianze, is a member of the Baiyue royal family. If you can rescue him, he can definitely help you unlock the secrets of these runes."

Cao Ze asked, "Is there no one else in the Baiyue royal family?"

Yan Lingji paused slightly, as if she had lowered her guard against Cao Ze. Leaning against the tree trunk, her long, slender, and fair legs were crossed, her posture alluring yet elegant.

Her dreamy eyes gazed absently at the golden crescent moon that had risen into the sky, her mood somewhat downcast. "Gone. They were all killed by the Han-Chu allied forces back then."

That same year, she was considered an unlucky person by the villagers, and her younger brother died in a fire that she may or may not have started.

Everything in her memory was blurry; she couldn't see the past or the future.

Cao Ze nodded. "Cutting weeds and eliminating the roots, that's basic procedure."

"Then why didn't Tianze die? Just because he's the crown prince?"

Yan Lingji shook her head slightly, "I don't know, it seems to be about some kind of treasure."

"The treasures of the Baiyue people?"

"Hmm...it seems to be this one. That white-haired monster mentioned it when he captured my master back then."

"White-haired monster? Bai Yifei?"
