Chu
"Hey!" said the Chu Emperor.
He follows behind Chu Yang, who has Gu Xiang's hand in hers as they head to the Chu Palace.
"What is it? Su Wen might need our help and you are slowing us down," said Chu Yang, a little annoyed by her brother.
"Doesn't this mean.... you are not a part of the Chu empire anymore...?" asked the Chu Emperor.
Chu Yang looked at him and sighed and slightly showed him a sad smile. "Yes. I made my decision when I accepted his proposal."
The Chu emperor looked down in disappointment.
"Hoi-Mo… Before I leave, let me ask you a question... Why did you leave the position of the first general of Chu for me…?" asked Chu Yang.
He looked at her sister in surprised. Gu Xiang could feel Chu Yang's hand slightly trembling, afraid of the emperor's answer.
"... It was because I was hoping for you to come back to the Empire one day…"
Chu Yang looked up at the Chu Emperor in surprised.
"I didn't want them to know that you ran away to find the enemy. I lied to the people and to you because I wanted you to finally be free… especially from the burdens father left us… But I also wanted to see my older sister again and wished for you to come home so I left that position only for you return eve if you didn't get the enemy…"
"Hoi-Mo… I'm fine. I have found my place," said Chu Yang.
The Chu Emperor looked at her face when he heard her voice, very soothing and reassuring. Her face had the warmest smile he has ever seen in his life and looked over at Gu Xiang, who looked at his love as if he was falling in love with her all over again.
'I know he's good for her,' thought the Chu Emperor.
He straighten up his posture and looked into Chu yang's eyes and said, "You are now not a part of the Chu Empire no more."
Chu Yang understood what he meant, "Yes, Chu Emperor. On behalf of the Wang Empire, we will help you defeat the Minister and get the throne back to its rightful owner."
"I accept the ally," said the Chu Emperor.
"I, as the first General of the Wang Empire, will get that thone back to you," said Gu Xiang.
"Haha, as a brother-in-law, hope you and my sister find happiness," said the Chu Emperor.
"Thank you, Hoi-Mo," said Gu Xiang.

"It's strange… their eyes are open and haven't made a move it the last 5 minutes," said Meiying.
"Because Min Fu-Han has control of them. We have to remove the needle that is somewhere hidden in their body so he wouldn't have control on them anymore," said Wu Long Long.

Wu Long Long, Wu Lang, and Meiying stands there, on the other entrance of Feng City. The look at the long line of Sea Kings, just suspiciously stopping and standing still.
"We are the fastest, other then Kenzhi, out of the group and Yu Yan wanted us to get here before Min Fu-Han escapes," said Meiying.
"By now, Min Fu-Han should have escaped. We just need to wait for them to start moving before we use the sleeping gas," said Wu Lang. "I'll get the first half since I'm faster than the you guys. You guys control the other half."
"Got it," said Wu Long Long.
"Remember, once we are done, we meet at the Ma residence. Xie Rong, Kenzhi and Peng Ai will gather them in the spiritual space ring Yu Yan has," said Meiying.
The other two nodded their head as they head to their position. They saw that the Sea Kings started moving and used the sleeping gas to stop the circle from closing in.
On the other side, Xie Rong and Kenzhi threw the sleeping gas at all the sea kings, making them drop, one by one. Each one making a loud noise as they land on the ground, asleep.
"I can take out the needles once they are asleep. If the needle was around the neck of Lan Se, it probably in all of them," said Peng Ai. Lan Se is the sea snake she named since it was favoring her and they decided to create a contract. Peng Ai now has a contract mark on her leg.
The other two nodded their head. So as they were made the Sea Kings sleep, Peng Ai would remove the needle carefully and place the now turned Sea Kings to Sea Snakes, into the spiritual space ring.

Quan
"Another move and it's going to be your head," said Quan Huan Lan. She held a sheath sword and pointed it at Quan Jian Min.
"Sister Huan Lan…." said Quan Jian min, He was sweating and trying to hold his scream of pain. "You know this is wrong…"
"Haha! You can't tell me what to do!" said Quan Huan Lan. She laughs hysterically and Minister Quan looks over and smiles.
"That's my girl," he said. "Hahaha! Maybe I do have to change my mind about women in power. Even my sons' strength are no match to Huan Lan's!"
'Tsk! I don't remember her ever being this strong! Have I lost my touch?' Quan Jian Min thought. But when he gave her another look again, he noticed something was wrong. Her eyes were bloodshot and her whole body was turning red.
"...S-sister Huan Lan?" asked Quan Fen He. She was walking closer towards Quan Huan Lan and could feel heat raising from her.
Quan Huan Lan turned around to face her sister and she was in shock and fear. Quan Fen He fell backwards on the ground from the unexpected look her sister has at the moment.
"...What is it?" said Quan Huan Lan.
"Y-You monster!!!" yelled Quan Fen He.
Everyone in the area heard her screech and came running towards her. The Chu Emperor, Chu Yang and Gu Xiang was in the area and stood and watched Quan Huan Lan.
"W-What the actual f*ck...?!" said the Chu Emperor. He couldn't help but look at her in fear.
"What the hell?!" said Chu Yang. Gu Xiang just stood there with his eyes widen in shook.
Quan Huan Lan has injected herself to the drug Min Fu-Han has been working with. Her body has turned red from the heat her muscles grew half a size larger, her eyes were crying blood her nails grew longer and sharper.
"Do I really look that scary...?" said Quan Huan Lan. 'I'm suppose to be the prettiest girl in the world...'
"Ew! You definitely got stronger but look disgusting!" said Minister Quan. "Min Fu-Han did say the drug has this kind of effect but this crazy!"
'Disgusting...' that word stuck to Quan Huan Lan' brain when she heard her father call her that.
'I go ahead and ruin my body just to hear my father call me disgusting...? Wait.. I have the beauty pill... It will fix me,' thought Quan Huan Lan.
'There distracted. Save the kid while I distract the Minister,' was the look Gu Xiang and Chu Yang gave each other.
They looked at the situation and see three of the four quan brothers are down, one protecting the other. Quan Xue is still being held by Quan Su Wen, finally stopping the blood.
"Su Wen... I'm sorry..." said Quan Xue.
"Stop talking! I need to heal you!" said Quan Su Wen, desperately trying to save her brother.
Chu Yang and Gu Xiang was moving in to the situation as everyone else was distracted by Quan Huan Lan's hideous look.
"Listen to me Su Wen... I.... When we were kids... I hated you..." said Quan Xue. Quan Su Wen was still healing her brother but was silently also listening to what he had to say to her.
"My mother hated your mother... She gave birth to Deshi and was furious. She wanted to be the only one who could bare sons for father but... even father didn't care and kill her off..."
As he was talking, Chu Yang was able to reach over to Deshi and Quan Jian Min as Gu Xiang lands an attack on the Minister. Unfortunately, they were noticed and attacked back.
Minister Quan's sword lands heavily on Gu Xiang's who easily blocks it as Chu Yang struggled to handle the new strength Quan Huan Lan received.
Quan Su Wen looked up, making eye contact with Chu Yang and nodding to each other, letting each other know they got each others back.
*cough* *cough*
Quan Su Wen turned back to her brother, who is now violently coughing up blood.
"Hold on! I'm almost done! I need to get you out of here!" said Quan Su Wen.
"No... I'm out of time..." said Quan Xue. His face was getting paler from the loss of blood. "Su Wen... There was no reason for me to hate you... When we all witness the murder of my mother... You were the one who saved us... by telling us to run... you took the blame and that's why father was always trying to plan on how to kill you without being noticed by the Emperor..."
Quan Su Wen remember that day... the fateful day when she and her siblings witness the death of the official wife of the Quan family.
