Chapter 137 Return

Dinner time.

Renée, Nina, and Bai Yun had returned from the front lines.

"So, in the time we were away, you even finalized an engagement, and you're even going to announce it to the world?"

"If we had come back any later, would you have even had a child by then?"

Upon hearing this news, Renée's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

It felt inexplicably like… having my home stolen?

"Alright, stop overreacting. This was something that could have been predicted."

"It's just turning the title of 'Prince Consort' from something known by a few into something known by the vast majority!"

"Let's talk about your experiences on this trip instead!"

Mu An waved his hand, and seeing Xiao Qingzhu sitting there looking uneasy, he considerately changed the subject.

When it came to this, Renée perked up, hands on her hips, her face full of pride.

"It's nothing worth bragging about, just that the three of us alone managed to rout a mere army of two hundred thousand!"

To the side.

Nina spoke up after a moment of consideration.

"Originally, we just wanted to use the heavenly lightning from our Undergoing Tribulation to scare off the coalition forces, but after receiving your message, Boss, we decided to raid their base camp."

"After investigation, the Khitan Kingdom was the main instigator of this war. Following the principle of 'capturing the ringleader first to capture the rest,' we followed your instructions and directly took out their Khan and his consort, then hung their heads above the city gate to intimidate the enemy troops."

"Judging from the results, the goal was achieved. The multi-national coalition began to flee in disarray, and the Khitan Kingdom fell into civil strife. I estimate their princes are currently fighting tooth and nail for the throne, so they won't have time to worry about invading the south in the short term."

"On the way back, with the help of sister Bai Yun, we also successfully intercepted and killed that old guard who was trying to escape."

"We destroyed the body and wiped away the evidence, doing it very cleanly without leaving any traces."

Mu An nodded, very satisfied with this operation.

Afterward, he recounted the reasons why he had wanted them killed.

Upon hearing that the beast Third Prince Yelü Hui had been slaughtering innocent people, Renée was furious.

"That damned thing! Dying just like that was too easy for him!"

"If I had known earlier, I would have killed a few more of those shitty princes. None of those guys on the grasslands are any good. Can you believe they actually eat human flesh! They didn't even spare the elderly, weak, sick, or disabled; they locked them all up like livestock waiting to be slaughtered!"

The young girl grew angrier as she spoke.

She truly had no psychological burden whatsoever about dealing lethal blows to these guys.

After everyone was silent for a while, Nina spoke up to add.

"Besides that, on the way back, we also killed a few powerful Great Demons along the way."

"Fortunately, with sister Bai Yun around, they couldn't stir up any trouble at all."

"Currently, both Renée and I have reached the third level of Foundation Establishment. Our strength is decent enough to handle most enemies."

Listening to these humble-brags, Xiao Qingzhu felt quite helpless.

What do you mean by 'strength is decent enough' at the third level of Foundation Establishment?

This makes her, a Cultivator only at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, look so dense!

However, after taking quite a few Medicinal Pills gifted by Mu An over these past few days, Xiao Qingzhu vaguely felt that she was not far from a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When that time comes, she would probably have to find a safe place far away from the capital to undergo Undergoing Tribulation.

Otherwise, if the Lightning Tribulation were to fall into the city, heaven knows how many casualties it would cause!

After that, everyone had another conversation.

During this time, Xiao Qingzhu went out for a while, and when she returned, she brought back important information collected by their subordinates.

"There's a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Xiao Qingzhu placed the letter in her hand gently on the table, her dark eyebrows slightly furrowed, her expression becoming a bit more serious.

"What's the good news?"

Mu An asked casually.

"The good news is that the woman who sold tofu still has one surviving child."

Everyone: !

"And the bad news is, she is suspected to have been kidnapped, and it's currently unclear who did it."

Everyone: !!!
