When Baiguo thought of this, he turned his gaze to the place where he had placed the little black cat. There were indeed several small animals there taking care of the little black cat.

Since he had taken the healing elixir, there was no problem. However, Si Huang still couldn't help feeling a little worried so he went there to check. However, when he got there, Si Huang wanted to check carefully to see how serious the little black cat's injuries were.

Something unexpected happened.

The little black cat suddenly exuded a ferocious aura. The originally petite black cat instantly became tall. Without any nonsense, almost in the blink of an eye, its huge claws with black and red spiritual power slapped down.

Its momentum is full of oppression, like the feeling of a huge mountain collapsing and hitting you.

Chapter 88: Difficult Escape

Empress, is there really nothing wrong with her?

After all, what the empress has to face is not just a little black cat, but the creatures in the entire imperial garden. If she is just facing one person, it would be too easy. After all, the ginkgo and brown sugar around her are not decorations. But if it is the animals in the entire imperial garden.

It is very likely to win by numbers.

Although I am very worried, I can't go to the Imperial Garden to check! Now I can only pray that the Empress will remember my reminder just now!

Ruan Yi didn't care about the hesitation in her heart at all. She had been running away since the empress left, running to the place she had planned at that time. In addition, with the help of the system, Ruan Yi didn't waste too much time on the road. As long as she ran forward with all her might, the system would immediately remind her if there were people around. She didn't need to care so much.

That's why Ruan Yi was thinking about other things besides escaping. It was not until the system reminded her that she had arrived at the exit of the palace that Ruan Yi completely stopped and brought her thoughts back.

In the past, even if she found the exit, she had never looked at it closely because she was afraid of being discovered. But this time, the exit was only a few dozen meters away, allowing her to finally see the place where the palace was connected to the outside world.

However, the place she chose was far away from the guard position, so she had no choice but to do this in order to prevent the guards from stopping her.

[The host has zero chance of getting out without being discovered. After all, the entire palace is protected by the Empress. Whether entering or leaving, it is under the supervision of the Empress. The system recommends that the host run directly, jump over the wall and escape. Although you may be attacked indiscriminately by the magic circle, I will give you pain shielding.]

This is the only way now. Rushing forward just now has saved a lot of time, so even the empress will not be able to get here in a while.

Ruan Yi, who had made all the preparations, flipped over the wall in one go, but the empress's safety measures were really good. The moment Jiang Yi flipped over.

Although I didn't feel any pain, but... at the moment of turning over, my whole body fell to the ground. I fell from the wall without any strength left and hit the ground heavily.

However, I didn't feel any pain from beginning to end. I just felt weak and my body had no strength at all. How serious could this injury be?

[Can the system check my body?]

[Multiple organs are damaged, and there are more injuries from the inside out, so let's not talk about it. The system recommends saving some strength, otherwise you won't even have the strength to take medicine in a while. The guards around the wall have already discovered you and are about to rush over, so you should quickly recover your ability to move. The system also recommends using dry cleaning coupons to remove the blood stains on your body when you escape, and changing into clean clothes.]

[Um……]

Ruan Yi used her remaining senses to quickly take a handful of pills and stuff them into her stomach, which allowed her to regain some mobility.

After Ruan Yi swallowed the pill, she stood up from the ground a few seconds later and tried to walk forward. She wanted to look back.

The system stopped her and continued to remind her not to stop taking the medicine, because the injury was so unimaginable. When she climbed over the wall, the system desperately protected her spirit. If the host wanted to escape alone, it would be almost impossible.

How should I put it? It's really worthy of the strict imperial palace. If you want to escape by climbing over the wall, you must endure the pain of being torn into pieces. If an ordinary person accidentally climbs over the wall, he will almost die from the pain.

The system did not allow her to look back in order to protect Ruan Yi. After all, the place where she had just been was covered in blood.

----

----

Everything that happens in the palace will be known to the empress immediately, but she can't care about that now because all the animals around her are running wild.

Moreover, she really didn't expect the little black cat to suddenly attack her... If the little fox hadn't told her to be careful around her, she might have really let her guard down and got hurt.

It has been hundreds of years since she last got injured. Empress Si Huang is now using her arms to block the black cat's huge attack that was like a mountain collapse, and she is safe and sound.

If I hadn't used my spiritual power to protect myself when I was relaxed just now, I might have been doomed.

“It was a close call.”

If one wants to kill the empress, it must be done in a moment, because once the empress enters the state, even the leader of the Holy Church cannot take her down, not to mention the little Qiongqi, one of the four ferocious beasts.

With the help of two powerful maids, Hongtang and Baiguo, the commotion in the imperial garden soon disappeared.

All the animals fainted after being hit, except for the little black cat in front of them, which was unexpectedly strong. It was so strong that even most of the strong men in the Nascent Soul stage could not defeat the little black cat. Baiguo and Hongtang were even injured.

The aura emanating from his body reminded the empress of a ferocious beast, Qiongqi. However, in the face of the empress's overwhelming strength, Qiongqi was only able to show off for a short while before being captured. He didn't even have a chance to escape.

This period lasted for more than ten minutes, but during these ten minutes, Si Huang felt that someone ran out of her palace. However, she did not care at first because she was fighting with the little black cat.

Empress Si Huang had a bad idea in mind, "Yiyi..."

As soon as Si Huang finished speaking, she returned to the place where she had eaten at an extremely fast speed. Not to mention her little fox, there was not even any sign of having eaten just now.

Then, at a speed that was simply imperceptible to the naked eye, he rushed to the wall of the palace in milliseconds...The place where he had just sensed the movement outside the palace was already filled with his servants.

She was the one who set up the formation, and no one knew the walls around the palace better than her. No matter if one entered or left without the permission of the empress, one would almost certainly die.

The stronger the level of cultivation, the more able one is to resist the impact of forensic evidence, but only the little fox in the fusion stage will die.

The empress was so anxious that she didn't even bother to change her torn clothes and came to the walls, floor and walls which were all splattered with blood.

But I haven’t seen the little fox for a long time. Is she still alive?

Chapter 89: Regret

Of course he's still alive.

However, his already crippled body is gradually unable to bear the burden. All the elixirs he had used before were Xuan-level or Huang-level elixirs, which were only temporary solutions and not a cure for the disease. The therapeutic effects were all achieved by quantity, and after a certain level, the body would produce side effects.

She used the dry cleaning coupon to change into clean clothes so that she would not attract so much attention. After all, if she walked outside covered in blood, she would probably scare people to death.

Now she didn’t know where Qingyun was...she could only walk towards the exit of the imperial capital step by step. As long as she could escape, she would find Qingyun later.

That was just the decision she had made, but her body couldn't hold on any longer. When she was about to fall to the ground, a gentle embrace embraced her.

"How did you make your body so broken?"

However, the one who hugged her was not Qingyun whom Ruan Yi had been thinking about, but the gentle and seductive voice of an unexpected person, "Ningyan..."

Ruan Yi raised her head and tried to open her eyes to look at the person who appeared in front of her, confirming her previous thoughts, but why did she appear here...

But he didn't have much chance to think anymore, his whole body went limp and he fainted without any strength left.

And Qingyun, whom he had been thinking about, was now guarding the exit of the capital. If they walked a few dozen meters more, they would have met, but this was really impossible.

----

The little fox disappeared, and Qingyun was nowhere to be found either. An assassination attempt had even taken place before that.

All these things combined made Empress Si Huang feel unhappy. As for the little black cat Qiongqi, Hongtang was now interrogating it to see if he could get any clues about the little fox.

Because when she attacked herself, the little fox took advantage of the chaos to escape. If it weren't for her, the little fox would never have been able to escape from her with his strength.

So I have to doubt what’s going on between the two of them, but combined with what the little fox said to me when I left, I told me to be careful around me.

If it weren't for this reminder, Si Huang might have really been hurt. The two of them should not be together. The little fox simply wanted to escape in the chaos.

But taking advantage of the chaos to escape...do you really want to leave her? Empress Si Huang sat in the room thinking about this matter. When she wanted to calculate where the little fox was now, she was stopped by the Heavenly Dao.

But she had no idea where the little fox was now. Just looking at the bloodstains on the wall, she knew that the little fox would be useless even if it wasn't dead.

Even though the servants blocked the bloodstain on the wall in time, the news still got out.

The news that got out was that... the walls of the palace were covered in blood. Was this due to the cruelty of the empress, or was it a crisis from deep within the world?

Why is there bloodstains in the heavily guarded palace? Does this mean that the empress's palace is in crisis?

There will always be this kind of public opinion. Empress Si Huang's mind is now all on the little fox, so she just casually leaves these matters to Bai Guo to deal with these public rumors.

But before the matter could be resolved, Baiguo received a message that a sect was responsible for the matter.

A holy sect composed of demonic practitioners that no one had noticed was responsible for the assassination of the empress and the bloodstains outside the wall.

No one else should know about what happened in the Imperial Garden. According to Bai Guo's investigation, half of what the Holy Church said was true, that is, the previous assassination.

After all, the appearance described in the language is indeed the true appearance of the little black cat, but the bloodstains of the little fox later on are purely for the sake of popularity. If there were no bloodstains to represent evidence, then the Holy Church would be more like a publicity stunt.

But once there is certain evidence, many people will believe it even if the other half is lying.

The matter about the Holy Religion has been widely spread among the people, which has delayed the Empress Si Huang's use of her own power to find the little fox.

----

----

The little fox has now been taken home by Ningyan. As one of the guardians of the Holy Church, Ningyan needs to participate in the mission of the Holy Church to assassinate the empress, but her task is to spread rumors.

Qian Ling has been in charge of Qiongqi's assassination of the empress, but half a day has passed and Qiongqi has not arrived at the agreed place and looks like he is about to die.

Qian Ling gave up, but now she seemed to be busy with other things, and could not control Ning Yan, the little saint who was practicing dual cultivation.

Next, Ningyan will just have to watch the development of public opinion in the imperial capital. Even if she picks up the little fox, she will have enough time to take good care of her.

But why on earth did Ruan Yi appear here, and she was covered with wounds. Ningyan was really scared when she saw her.

Ruan Yi was now placed in Ningyan's room, where she was recuperating quietly. Her injuries were too severe all over her body. If she used more spiritual power, she would probably suffer more injuries.

But it's not serious, he just needs to rest for a few more days. However, there are only two days left to complete the task. If he doesn't get back to Qingyun within these two days, he will be struck to death by thunder even if his injuries have healed.

Ruan Yi woke up after sleeping for half a day. She stared blankly at the surrounding environment. It was not a magnificent room like the palace. It seemed that she had escaped.

But for some reason, her internal organs felt like they were burning in flames, causing Ruan Yi to shed tears in pain. After she came to her senses, she let the system suppress the pain in her body, and finally she slowly began to think about her situation.

Her body was in constant pain due to internal injuries and she couldn't take the tag off her hand. However, the effect of the tag on her hand had disappeared completely after being suppressed by the system, so the empress would not be able to discover her because of this.

But where is she now?

Ruan Yi looked around blankly, and gently used her little nose to sniff, but did not smell the familiar scent of Qingyun.

So who saved her?

She tried hard to recall what happened when she fainted just now. She seemed to have seen Ningyan before she fainted... That's not right!

Ningyan is the top star in Suzaku City. How could she have the time to come here? Ruan Yi had some doubts in her mind.

When she was about to stand up and leave, Ningyan, who was the last thing she saw before she fainted, opened the door and came to Ruan Yi, "You're awake..."

Chapter 90: Tenderness

When Ningyan picked up the little fox Ruan Yi on the roadside just now, her condition was really bad and her body was covered with wounds. Although her face and body were clean, her internal injuries were scary.

Ningyan was really scared when she used spiritual power to check. If the little fox was a human, it would have died long ago. Spiritual beasts are much stronger than humans, especially in physical fitness.

The attack power of a spirit beast in the fusion period is similar to that of a cultivator in the fusion period, but its defense and resistance to attacks are much higher than that of an ordinary cultivator in the fusion period. If you encounter a spirit beast with ancient bloodline, it will be even more difficult to fight. If you encounter a creature that specializes in cultivating defense, you will have to increase your realm by at least an entire level before you can kill it.

No matter how much humans practice, they are still mortals in the end. Before the Golden Core Stage, if they do not use spiritual power to strengthen their bodies, they can even be cut by an ordinary knife. There are very few humans who practice immortality with their bodies. Most of them practice with swords and other items to act as extensions of themselves.

This is also the reason why the Sword Sect has always called itself the orthodox sect of immortal cultivation to gild its reputation.

When I see Ruan Yi can get up and jump around now, I feel really relieved.

But Ruan Yi did not stay here to rest, because the system had just reminded her that if she just ran away from the empress, the task would not be considered completed, and she must return to Qingyun.

Ruan Yike didn't dare to waste the two days she had now, so when she woke up, she wanted to leave without saying a word.

But how can I let her do whatever she wants with this body now? Even if you are a vixen, you can't do this!

Ningyan grabbed the other person's wrist tightly to prevent her from leaving, but... when she raised her hand, she saw something she had never expected.

A wooden plaque that looked very precious with a few words written on it. When Ruan Yi saw her wrist being pulled up, she immediately put it back when she remembered that she still had the empress's wooden plaque on her wrist.

She held her wrist tightly to prevent others from seeing. The tag on the wrist rope had the name of the empress written on it. However, no one in the world should know the name of the empress, so there was no need to worry about whether anyone would notice anything unusual.

I originally thought so, but when I saw Ningyan’s stunned expression, no way, it can’t be such a coincidence!

"What was that on your wrist just now?"

When Ruan Yi heard the questions Ningyan asked her, she felt much more relaxed. It seemed that she was just curious, so Ruan Yi relaxed.

“…Bracelets and the like are considered a form of decoration.”

Ruan Yi added a few words because the person in front of the bracelet might not understand what she said. However, she had no time to stay here any longer. She had to hurry back to Qingyun.

But Ningyan didn't want to let herself leave at all. She kept holding on to her shoulders tightly, which made it so awkward that she couldn't move her body even if she tried to run away or move her feet.

She is already in the fusion stage, so why is she still the same when facing Ningyan? She is really getting more and more curious about who Ningyan is.

If she was just an ordinary top performer in Hongfeng Tower, how could she appear here so easily and be pinned down so easily?

But he should be a good person! After all, he saved me.

Ningyan looked at the silly Ruan Yi. How come she was exactly the same as before and hadn't made any progress at all?

Moreover, she saw clearly the three words on the wooden plaque on her wrist: [Belongs to Si Huang]. Si was the royal family's surname throughout the dynasties. Although the empress did not care about names, under the rule of several previous emperors, there was no one in the world with the surname Si except the royal family. And Huang.
