Princess Mingzhu was waiting for Hua Mengshi to finish her sentence, but then she felt the sudden and unexpected pain. She looked at Hua Mengshi, fully shocked. She could not believe it!

Princess Mingzhu felt a dagger deep in her back. Even when she immediately used her anima energy to stop the bleeding and heal the wound, it was impossible to stop the bleeding because the wound was too deep.

“Why… Why did you want to kill me?” Princess Mingzhu asked in a weak voice, looking at Hua Mengshi innocently and confusedly.

Hua Mengshi's smile was cold. She lifted Princess Mingzhu's chin with her long and delicate fingers. “Oh, honey, because you are useless now… I don't need you. Just me and Lan Luo can kill Yun Shimo!”

Princess Mingzhu shook her head. “No… It can't be!”

Hua Mengshi knew how powerful Yun Shimo was. She could not kill her cause that meant they would lose an extra hand.

For someone like Hua Mengshi, she would never renounce an extra hand.

“Haw, haw, when I was in Murong Family, I have got more than one forbidden arts, and there is one kind of forbidden art called the Art of Melting and Absorbing Spirit… Haw, haw, haw, once I eat your spirit, then the level of my Qi Art will advance significantly!”

Hua Mengshi's eyes were filled with madness. “And… There is one more forbidden art I got, which can help people change their faces. Haw, haw, haw… Princess Mingzhu, please embrace your death peacefully!” said Hua Mengshi.

Hua Mengshi's whole body shone with the red light. The madness and greed in her eyes made Princess Mingzhu feel desperate. The red light covered her, and then a moment later, her plump figure went dry and wizened.

The flesh and anima energy in her body turned into scarlet blood vapor. Then the vapor went all into Hua Mengshi's body.

Hua Mengshi muttered the spell of that forbidden art, and her face was becoming more and more ferocious. She was like a cannibal!

Princess Mingzhu's body withered like a flower. In the end, nothing was left. Even her bones had turned into the blood vapor and gone into Hua Mengshi's body…

Hua Mengshi felt that her strength had increased greatly. As she was muttering the spell, her face slowly became Princess Mingzhu's.

Hua Mengshi sighed with relief at the end. She sneered and picked up the long robe on the ground and folded it carefully.

“Princess Mingzhu, please rest assured. You are dying for a purpose. We live to kill Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo, don't we? Well, I am going to help you with your last bucket list!”

A twisted smile appeared on Hua Mengshi's face. She was Princess Mingzhu from the outside, but her voice showed that she was still Hua Mengshi.

An hour later, when Lan Luo came back, he didn't see Hua Mengshi. So he asked about her whereabouts, but Hua Mengshi smiled wickedly. “Hua Mengshi? Haw, haw, Lan Luo, who do you think I am? Princess Mingzhu or Hua Mengshi?”

Lan Luo looked at Hua Mengshi in shock. That face was identical to Princess Mingzhu's, but the voice belonged to Hua Mengshi.

He reached out to touch Hua Mengshi's face gently. It was perfect and flawless. It was a real face, not a mask.

“Who are you? What happened?”

Lan Luo looked at Hua Mengshi in confusion, then he looked at the ground. His expression changed when he saw Princess Mingzhu's clothes and the dagger with blood.

“You two…”

Lan Luo was shocked, and he kept staring at Hua Mengshi.

Hua Mengshi broke into a smile. “You can rest assured. This Melting and Absorbing Sipirt Forbidden Art can only be used on people of the same sex. You are a man. I won't lay my eyes on you!”

Lan Luo's facial expression changed dramatically. “The most famous forbidden art, the Art of Melting and Absorbing Spirit?”

Hua Mengshi nodded her head, and her eyes were filled with complacency.

Although she had failed to practice the Deity-slaying Dragon Formula, she had succeeded in the Art of Melting and Absorbing Spirit. It was more powerful than the Deity-slaying Dragon Formula cause it could absorb the power from people of the same sex and make the user stronger.

Although cruel and bloody, it was useful.

Lan Luo's face became even darker. He looked Hua Mengshi up and down one more time, and his expression slowly changed. “Nice! Hua Mengshi, I didn't know you could be so vicious. But only being vicious can make you the heir of Hundred Poison Immortal! And this version of you can meet the requirements the Dark Sect set for a Palace Leader. Haw, haw, it seems that it won't be long before we can go and find Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue.”

Hua Mengshi was delighted when she saw Lan Luo look at her with amazement first and then appreciation.

Only people from the Dark Sect could appreciate people of their own kind.

And she… She was a cruel and bloodthirsty enchantress!

“Of course, it won't take long. In a month or two, we can go and find them!” Hua Mengshi sneered and said.

She was overloaded with joy.

She had waited so long for that day that it finally arrived.

Lan Luo broke into a wicked smile. “Well then, I am gonna go and practice in seclusion! I don't want to be lagged behind by you when I am out.”

Hua Mengshi felt proud and held her head high. As a matter of fact, it was Hundred Poison Immortal who taught her that forbidden art.

Hundred Poison Immortal didn't want her to admit that she was her heir because she didn't want her to be a target and end up dead. After all, it was a lot of trouble to find an heir.

Hua Mengshi sneered at Lan Luo's back. He was also going to die once she had killed Hua Qiyue.

But why did she suddenly want to kill Princess Mingzhu? It was because the way Lan Luo looked at Princess Mingzhu reminded her of Yun Shimo.

Both in front of Hua Qiyue and Princess Mingzhu, she was always the loser! So, without hesitation, Hua Mengshi put behind the sisterhood she had with Princess Mingzhu and killed her with determination!

That forbidden art would shorten the user's life, but it could also make the user more powerful. With Princess Mingzhu being the first victim, Hua Mengshi would not have any second thought anymore.

If she could get ten female victims within a month, then she could advance to the medium level of Holy God after two months.

Without a doubt, Hua Mengshi turned excited once thinking about that. The more she tried to repress her hatred towards Hua Qiyue, the more she wanted to tear Hua Qiyue into pieces.

The gentle breeze was brushing people's faces, and the weather was cool that night.

Duanmu Jing even sent a luxury carriage there to pick Hua Qiyue and the others up. It was pretty shocking for the others since there must be some intentions behind the Crown Prince's obvious act of trying to draw Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue to his side.

Or, the haughty Crown Prince would not take his cap off and bow in front of Yuewu Kingdom's Prince and Princess.

Hua Qiyue sat in the carriage and opened the curtains to enjoy the view. Tianci was next to her, playing with the Demon Chicken.

That Demon Chicken had grown much larger. In spite of the fact that Hua Xiyue and her friends had eaten Demon Chickens before, Tianci had tamed it pretty well.

“The Crown Prince must want to cooperate with us this time. After all, the Dark Sect and the Blood Sect had made the Yuewu Kingdom a living hell. Any emperor of that kingdom wouldn't like to see that happen.”

Ji Jing sat next to them. She was holding the Man-Hunting Insect in her palm. It was so dark yet so cute.

While feeding it the Ginseng with Nine Souls, she was speculating what the Crown Prince was thinking in his head.

Hua Qiyue nodded in response. “Absolutely, he is an ally of ours. We have too little information about the Dark Sect, so it is a wise choice to cooperate with them.”

Yun Shimo snorted. There were only six people in that carriage. They were Hua Qiyue, Ji Jing, Yun Shimo, Tianci, Princess Qianyang, and Bingyi.

The rest of the crew were on another carriage. Those two luxury horse-drawn carriages could accommodate ten people, which was proof of how much the Crown Prince valued them.

“Once we get to the Yuewu Kingdom, we will never live a peaceful life unless we eliminate the Dark Sect. Besides, the Blood Sect is not a hot potato. Zhu Jian is just a cripple, and the sect must be in a state of disunity. It won't be a problem,” Hua Xiyue said after thinking for a while.

“That's true. We aim to wipe out the Dark Sect and Xuanyuan Family. However, Qiyue, you don't need to overtire yourself cause you will undermine your body in case you should have children later,” Yun Shimo put on a smiling face and whispered to Hua Qiyue.

Hua Qiyue exhausted all her strength to kick Yun Shimo. That made Yun Shimo furrow his brow tightly for the crushing pain!

It was natural that the kick hurt. Hua Qiyue had become way more powerful than she was before.

Soon, the carriages had got to the palace. At the entrance to the back garden of the palace, there were the Crown Prince Duanmu Jing, the Third Prince Duanmu An, and the emperor of the Yuewu Kingdom, Duanmu Changde, who were welcoming Hua Qiyue and her companions.

Duanmu Changde was around sixty years old. His face was a little pale with a severe black eye. He seemed tired. Compared with the vigorous and young men, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, he could nearly be described as a piece of dying wood if his sons were the new ones.

“Father, this is Yun Shimo, the guy I told you before. He is the Prince Nan of the Changjing Kingdom. This one is Hua Qiyue, the Princess Jinghua of the Changjing Kingdom. This is the medicine saint Ji Feng…” The Crown Prince introduced everyone to the emperor. The emperor was nice and pretty hospitable to them.

Duanmu Changde was even happier especially when he saw Bai Qianxue. “I didn't expect City Master Bai to come here too. Being a friend of Prince Nan and Princess Jinghua, you're a bigger surprise for me! Anyway, I am just thrilled that you can come here. Hope everyone can relax and have fun tonight!”

“It's so kind of you, Your Majesty. I am a nobody, and you made me feel very flattered.” Bai Qianxue was quite polite. The emperor chuckled.

Everyone knew how lofty Bai Family was. They knew how to use the powerful array but never stoop themselves to welcome and entertain a royal member. No royal, including the emperor, could have the chance to meet Bai Qianxue.

All of that was because Bai Family never meddled with battles in the martial arts world, let alone the kingdom's affairs.

As time went by, people started to gossip about them and said that they were too cold and distant. The Yuewu Kingdom's citizens were in a living hell yet they did not come out to lend a helping hand.

Some other people said they were gods because they didn't bother to take care of any affairs in the secular world.

However, Hua Qiyue could make Bai Qianxue her company. So people know how big an influence Hua Qiyue could be.

People were devouring their food, especially Tianci. It was his first time to be in Yuewu Kingdom's palace, and the exquisite, delicious and abundant dishes made Tianci look like a crazy and starving wolf who was devouring everything.

His two pets were just the same. When a maidservant served them the food, they began to scramble for it. But as they noticed Hua Qiyue's warning eyes, they started to behave themselves.

After drinking several cups of wine, Duanmu Changde finally raised his cup, proposed a toast, and said, “In fact, there are somethings that I want to discuss with you two, Prince and Princess.”
