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

Yan Lingji was furious and stomped her black and gold boots hard, as if she was about to go berserk.

Jing Ni slowly drew out a section of the Jing Ni Sword, sword energy swirling around her.

The Corpse-Driving Demon swallowed hard, his heart pounding wildly.

He had no doubt that the woman before him possessed the ability to kill instantly. In her presence, his prized corpse-driving magic was nothing but a trivial skill.

"Yan, Yan Lingji, I think the Hundred Poison King is right..."

Yan Lingji's eyes were practically spitting fire. "Little Hidden Witch, are you asking for a beating again?"

The Corpse-Driving Demon chuckled and silently retreated behind the Peerless Ghost.

Seemingly feeling unsafe even with Wushuang Gui blocking the way, he took a few more steps back.

As for turning around and running away, that's a joke. He didn't even dare to make a move before the other side made any threats.

Cao Ze witnessed everything and was a little speechless. His wife was too powerful, which was not a good thing. Before he could even make a move, the other side surrendered.

Jingni seemed to find it boring as well.

She drew her longsword, and with a flick of her wrist, a three-zhang-long pink sword aura shot out, accompanied by a strong sword intent and a sword cry.

He directly dispersed the poison created by the Hundred Poison King and cut dozens of zombies in half, carving a sword trench more than ten meters long in front of the small mound where Yan Ling Ji stood.

The flying sand and stones hit Yan Lingji's flawless face, causing her pain, but her heart ached even more. She wanted to hug herself, wondering why she was so unlucky!

Li Wu puffed out her chest proudly, stepped forward, and said with a grin, "Do we need to continue fighting Fire Princess?"

The King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon shook their heads instinctively. They couldn't win, they really couldn't win, even if their master Tianze came.

So this is what a sword master is like. No wonder there are so few of them in the seven kingdoms.

Jing Ni sheathed her sword, her cold gaze returning to its original state, and took Xiao Yan'er back from Cao Ze's arms.

Cao Ze strolled over and said, "Gentlemen, are you interested in switching allegiance? I can help you rescue Tianze."

The King of Poisons gripped his snake staff and said in a deep voice, "Master, we can save ourselves! There's no need for you to take action."

Cao Ze nodded slightly. Tian Ze wasn't much of a talent, but his subordinates were all incredibly loyal. He appreciated loyal people, whether they were his own people or his enemies.

"Alright, Firestarter Girl stays, you can go."

The King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon exchanged glances. "Yan Ling Ji, take care."

The old man and the child took off running, leaving Cao Ze and Li Wu stunned.

Li Wu couldn't help but sneer, "Is this your helper? You have no backbone at all."

"Roar—" Wushuang Gui flexed his muscles and stood in front of Yan Lingji, showing no fear of death.

Yan Lingji sniffed, building up her anger. This was too much!

"I'll go with you, okay?"

After saying this, Yan Lingji sent Wushuang Gui to find Baidu Wang and Qu Shi Mo, not wanting Wushuang Gui to suffer with her.

Walking alone on the road back to the city, he gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

Cao Ze rubbed his chin: "What's wrong with her? Why does she look so aggrieved? I didn't hit her..."

Li Wu analyzed seriously, "She said she got her period, she probably really did..."

"That makes sense; it's her own problem."

Cao Ze concluded, saying, "Let's go back to the city. It's time to whip you."

Li Wu glared at Cao Ze, "Who's afraid of who!"

Jingni paused, glanced at Li Wu sideways, and said, "Don't look for me."

The three concise words made Li Wu feel quite guilty; she couldn't withstand several lashes on her own.

Xinzheng, a small courtyard.

Li Wu screamed in agony.

Yan Lingji, who was originally feeling depressed, started to gloat.

Jingni seemed to have gotten used to it; apart from feeling a little awkward, her expression didn't change at all.

Before we knew it, it was almost noon.

The punishment of flogging was carried out without fail.

After Cao Ze personally punished Li Wu, he got dressed and came out.

As for Li Wu, she had been tortured beyond recognition.

After being released from prison, she lay helplessly on the couch, her eyes losing their former luster and focus.

Yan Lingji, who was swaying slightly on the swing, stopped and looked at Cao Ze walking towards her. She was about to be tough and say, "Kill me or do whatever you want," but when she thought of Li Wu's screams just now, she couldn't help but shrink back.

She asked hesitantly, "What exactly do you want?"

Cao Ze stretched, having used up quite a bit of his waist strength just now.

"Fire Fairy, I was already planning to help you rescue Tianze, why are you still running away?"

She's also called the Fire-Striking Princess!

Yan Lingji was initially angry, but when she caught a glimpse of Jing Ni playing with Xiao Yan'er out of the corner of her eye, she became deflated.

She snorted, "Don't lie to me. In the past two months, you haven't shown the slightest intention to save your master!"

Cao Ze asked in surprise, "You actually figured it out?"

It's been a few days, and Firegirl's IQ seems to have improved; no wonder she wanted to run away.

A faint black line appeared on Yan Lingji's smooth forehead. This was truly... outrageous!

"I've already said, you can have me, but you have to rescue my master!"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "What if I didn't want to save you, and instead wanted you to acknowledge me as your master?"

Yan Lingji curled her lip, "So what if you can have me?"

Cao Ze leaned closer, gently inhaling the fragrance emanating from Yan Lingji, and chuckled, "This doesn't seem so bad."

Yan Lingji took a step back without making a sound, widening the distance between herself and Cao Ze. She had no intention of becoming sisters with Jing Ni Li Wu.

"If you want to unlock the secrets of those runes, you must find my master."

Yan Lingji calmly negotiated with Cao Ze: "He was the former crown prince of Baiyue, and now only he understands the runes used by the Baiyue royal family."

Cao Ze remained noncommittal. If he could find the treasure in the Ancestral Mountain, it wouldn't matter whether Tian Ze saved him or not.

"Let's talk about the King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon."

Compared to a useless crown prince from Baiyue, he valued the King of Poisons and the Corpse-Driving Demon more.

No matter how powerful a person is, they can only take on ten people, not ten thousand.

Similarly, even if someone can take on ten thousand enemies, no matter how powerful they are, they still can't defeat Tsar Beast.

Truth will only exist within "nuclear peace".

Yan Lingji's bright red lips moved slightly. "You seem to know them well, did you see them today?"

Cao Ze chuckled and said, "Then let me ask you another way: how do I get them to serve me as their master?"

Yan Lingji couldn't help but sneer, "The Hundred Poison Kings are most loyal to their master. If you want them to serve you as their master, you'll have to make them obey you."

Cao Ze clapped his hands and praised, "A very good suggestion."

He then changed the subject: "Then tell me, how do we get Tianze to obey? How about coercion or bribery?"

Yan Lingji was speechless. If she weren't in a worse situation, she would have jumped onto the swing and mocked Cao Ze's overestimation of his abilities.

Her master, Tianze, known as the Red-Eyebrowed Dragon Snake, was unruly in the Baiyue region. How could he be subdued by simple coercion and bribery?

If they could be easily tamed, they would have already pledged allegiance to Bai Yifei, and they wouldn't need to be rescued by them.

Yan Lingji let out a long sigh: "I advise you to give up."

Cao Ze didn't care whether to give up or not. He glanced at Yan Lingji, who was dressed in flames. The black runes on her collarbone and waist were still there, which were very attractive.

He suddenly asked, "Who taught you these runes on your body?"

There are two states for Yan Ling Ji: one without runes and the other with runes.

The latter can make Yan Ling Ji stronger and more adept at controlling flames.

Like an enchanted weapon, it possesses an extraordinary amplification.

"You mean the inscription?" Yan Lingji raised her white arm, the black inscription faintly glowing red in the sunlight.

"This is a secret method that the Baiyue people learned from the Central Plains. After being improved, it uses specific herbs to make a solution, and with special techniques, it is used to draw patterns on the body, which can enhance a person's strength. After the effects of the medicine wear off, the patterns will disappear."

No wonder everyone likes getting tattoos... Cao Ze shook his head slightly. That's a bit primitive. Drug use is all the rage now.

"Your cultivation speed is much slower than that of a normal person, right?"

Yan Lingji glanced at Cao Ze and said irritably, "Still trying to fool me? If you fall for it again this time, I'll be a pig!"

Previously, Cao Ze had used a special technique suitable for her as bait, which caused her to embarrass herself quite a bit.

The thought of herself acting cute and charming made Yan Lingji so angry that her teeth itched, and her chest heaved.

Cao Ze grinned; Fire Fairy really had become smarter.

He took out a silk cloth from his pocket, which had many ink stains on it.

He smiled and said, "This is the cultivation method for Samadhi True Fire. Take a look."

This Samadhi True Fire was not something he obtained from Zhuge Liang's family, but rather something he had seen in the Taoist canon of Longhu Mountain.

Samadhi True Fire has existed for a long time, and like thunder magic, it exists in various schools and sects of Taoism. However, if we are to talk about whose Samadhi True Fire is the strongest, it is undoubtedly the family of Zhuge Liang.

Although the Samadhi True Fire collected on Longhu Mountain is not as powerful as that of Zhuge Liang's family, the principles of cultivation are the same.

Yan Lingji didn't know what Samadhi True Fire was. She glanced at the writing on the silk and said confidently, "I don't know Qin Wen."

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback, forgetting that the seven countries each had different writing systems, and very few people would learn all of them.

"That is a problem. Well, let me explain it to you."

Yan Lingji was very wary of Cao Ze, believing that he still hadn't given up on plotting against her.
