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

Upon seeing its master flee, the hidden bat immediately crouched down and ran away as well.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

If the Marquis is seriously injured, does he have a chance...?

Jingni came to Cao Ze's side and whispered, "Are you alright?"

Cao Ze plopped down on Tian Ze's back, who was lying on the ground, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Don't even think about making a move for at least a day. Let's rest for a bit and then leave."

He didn't intend to kill Tianze and the others; he would consider it payment for Tianze risking his life to protect him earlier.

But I don't plan to save them; if they survive, I'll consider them lucky.

Lady Mingzhu was being dragged by the Marquis and run through the mountains and forests, her expression bleak, on the verge of tears.

"aunt……"

The Marquis looked coldly at Lady Mingzhu.

"You little slut! You betrayed the Bai family and slept with our enemy! If it weren't for the fact that you rescued me from the brothel, I would have killed you with one blow long ago!"

Madam Mingzhu immediately shut her mouth, trembling with fear.

If my aunt knew that the madam in that brothel was actually me in disguise...

Oh my god, she couldn't bear to think about it...

Chapter 506 A Beautiful Aunt and Nephew, Tearing Each Other Apart

"Fluttering..."

Under the moonlight, the figure of a flying bat glided through Snowclothes Castle.

Hidden Bat spread its arms wide, staring with its tiny red eyes the size of glass beads, holding its breath as it sensed the movements of Snowcloth Fortress.

Since Snow Robe Fortress was destroyed by Ji Wuye, the fortress is now full of ruins, with only one or two main halls remaining in relatively good condition.

"Has the Marquis not returned yet...?"

The hidden bat stood on the tall tree, feeling both fear and regret.

He was indeed loyal to the Marquis, but that was based on the fact that the Marquis had the power to decide his life or death.

The Marquis has now been severely injured by Cao Ze, losing seventy to eighty percent of her strength.

No longer worthy of being his master.

He felt he had a chance to turn the tables and become the master of his own destiny.

If only I could drink the Marquis's blood...

The hidden bat licked its dry, bloodied lips.

The blood of a Grandmaster!

If he could drain the Marquis's blood, not only would his hidden injuries be completely healed, but he would also have a chance to advance to the Grandmaster realm.

This held a fatal attraction for him, who was practicing the Southern Frontier Bat Blood Technique.

"You seem disappointed. What are you disappointed about?"

A detached voice sounded from behind Hidden Bat.

Hidden Bat felt a tightness behind him, and his scalp tingled.

"...My lord, you're finally back! This old servant thought you..."

The Marquis looked at the bright, cold moonlight and gave a cold smile.

"What did you think happened to me? That I was critically injured and on the verge of death, so you could take advantage of the situation?"

The hidden bat was drenched in cold sweat and fell silent as a cicada in winter.

"I wouldn't dare, this old servant would never think that way. I will never forget the great kindness of the Marquis in saving my life!"

"Don't dare not think about it? I don't think you can do it!"

The Marquis extended her slender, fair hand, and a chilling palm strike knocked the Hidden Bat from the tree to the ground.

Hidden Bat was about to lash out the moment the Marquis made her move, but he held back and took the Marquis's attack head-on, almost getting seriously injured.

"My lord, spare my life!"

Hidden Bat knelt on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of its mouth as it begged for mercy.

"Humph!"

The Marquis flung her sleeve and said, "You're smart to know what's good for you!"

"You possess my icy inner strength. If I ever doubt your loyalty again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Just now, if Hidden Bat had shown the slightest resistance, she would have ruthlessly attacked and eliminated it, nipping the threat in the bud.

She would never forget the secret collusion between Yin Fu and Bai Yifei.

"……Yes!"

The hidden bat pressed its head tightly against the damp, cold ground.

When he sensed a trace of icy internal energy in his heart meridian, his heart almost stopped beating. He was glad that he had held back and hadn't lost his temper on the spot.

The Marquis looked at Yin Fu, who was kneeling on all fours with his head down, and said calmly, "Get up."

The hidden bat replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

The Marquis, with one hand behind her back, said, "Continue investigating Cao Ze's whereabouts. Get out of here."

"Yes, yes..." Hidden Bat hurriedly agreed and left in a slightly flustered manner.

After Yin Fu left Zhan Cha, a trickle of blood flowed from the Marquis's dry, red lips.

She clutched her chest, a nameless anger rising within her.

She intended to capture Cao Ze and make her her slave, but instead, Cao Ze broke through to the Grandmaster level and seriously injured her!

If I hadn't absorbed enough spiritual energy in Feng Hou Tomb, which allowed me to not only break through to the Grandmaster level but also stabilize my realm and make some progress at the Grandmaster level, I would have almost been blown up by Cao Ze today.

She felt a slight sense of fear when she thought of Cao Ze's lightning magic, especially the final five-colored lightning array.

She had never seen such powerful lightning magic before, which allowed Cao Ze, a mere novice who had just entered the Grandmaster realm, to pose a life-threatening threat to her.

The next time I see Cao Ze, I must strike first and not give him any time to unleash that powerful lightning technique.

The Marquis easily saw the biggest flaw in Cao Ze's use of lightning magic. If it weren't for Tian Ze and Jing Ni blocking the blows for Cao Ze, he would have been pierced through the heart by her ice spear and would be kneeling in front of her licking her toes!

……

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Madam Mingzhu lay on the cold jade bed, and upon hearing the familiar cough, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

My aunt is here... Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but have this thought pop into her head.

The Marquis entered her secluded ice chamber and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Her injuries were more severe than she had anticipated; her internal organs were displaced and her meridians were severed. It was already quite remarkable that she could walk like a normal person.

If Hidden Bat had fought her to the death just now, the outcome would have been uncertain.

It can only be said that Yin Fu is a barbarian who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and is afraid of power but not of virtue.

Knowing that Hidden Bat wouldn't dare to make a move, she took the initiative to show herself and seize the opportunity to strengthen her control over Hidden Bat.

The Marquis looked at Lady Mingzhu, whose eyes were closed on the jade bed, and saw her eyelashes tremble. She gave a cold smile.

"Open your eyes if you're awake! Stop pretending to be dead, you slut!"

She looked down on her niece, who actually acted as Cao Ze's dog when it came to matters of principle!

In her view, no amount of insulting Mingzhu was excessive; she was even more despicable than the lowest prostitute in a brothel, utterly spineless.

Madam Mingzhu subconsciously clenched her delicate fists and closed her eyes tightly.

The Marquis sneered, "You have backbone when it comes to me, but why do you wag your tail in front of Cao Ze?!"

Madam Mingzhu remained silent, her eyes still closed.

"Snapped!"

The Marquis stepped forward, stretched out her jade-like hand, and slapped Lady Mingzhu hard across her beautiful face.

Madam Mingzhu let out a muffled groan, her beautiful face swollen and red.

Even though the Marquis didn't use her inner strength, her strength was greater than that of an ordinary big man. She slapped him with all her might, without holding back at all.

"What a despicable person!"

The Marquis's chest heaved with anger. "Since that's the case, let's just make use of this trash!"

"I'll use you to practice my skills and heal my injuries tonight!"

When Madam Mingzhu opened her eyes, her once moist eyes were now somewhat bloodshot.

She looked at her aunt in astonishment, somewhat puzzled by the Marquis's meaning.

The Marquis gave a wicked smile.

"Now you know to open your eyes? You're doomed!"

After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, she will be able to use more techniques.

She originally planned to have Mingzhu keep having children to continue the Bai family bloodline.

But now she has been severely injured by Cao Ze, only slightly less so than the injuries she suffered from Bai Qi back then.

If left untreated, the patient's condition may deteriorate, or even lead to a premature and violent death.

Before entering the secret chamber, she hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to use her only niece, now the only member of the Bai family practicing martial arts besides herself.

Seeing Madam Mingzhu's attitude, she had no choice but to abandon her ridiculous pity and harden her heart to refine her niece!

As for the Bai family's incense offerings.

It's okay, she can have children!
