"Peek?" Xiao Yu didn't let go as he gently caressed Mu Xiaoling's neck. This kind of action always felt like he was holding the other party's life in his hands. He rather liked it.

"Is that one of yours?" Mu Xiaoling slapped his hand away without hesitation.

Xiao Yu had his hands behind his back as he stood there, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "I guess so."

"Mm …" It had been a few days, but it seemed as if he hadn't seen her for a long time. Mu Xiaoling didn't know what to say. She couldn't possibly ask if these days were good enough for her.

How could a dignified Demon Lord be weak?

Suddenly, a fat middle-aged eunuch hurriedly ran out from the inn. He waved his hand forward and shouted in a shrill voice, "Your Highness, slow down, don't fall down!"

Mu Xiaoling looked curiously at Xiao Yu. "Your Highness?"

Xiao Yu nodded slightly. "Yes, I received an interesting identity."

As he spoke, the fat eunuch had already arrived in front of Xiao Yu and bowed, "Your highness, I've experienced too many things coming back to Yan Kingdom. Please be careful, if there are any more assassins, what should we do?"

"No worries, this is This King's friend. We haven't seen each other in a long time." Xiao Yu looked at Mu Xiaoling as he spoke. "Come in."

"No need." Mu Xiaoling's face twitched. He didn't want to ask how Xiao Yu became the prince, and he didn't want to get involved with Xiao Yu either. That was good enough.

She turned around and was about to leave when her hand was suddenly held by Xiao Yu. When she turned around, she saw a trace of anger on Xiao Yu's handsome face. "I didn't tell you to go, where can you go?"

"I don't need to report where I want to go." Mu Xiaoling struggled to open her arms, but the more she struggled, the tighter Xiao Yu's grip tightened.

The two of them were in a deadlock.

In the end, Xiao Yu gave in and shook his head, "Alright, I'll go find you when I have time. Truly … I can't do anything to you. "

Mu Xiaoling was free to turn around and run. She'd truly treated Xiao Yu as a friend, but that disappearance had turned into a thorn in her heart. It was hard to say what it felt like, but she didn't want to see him.

She smiled wryly as she didn't expect her, Mu Xiaoling, would have a day where she would run away.

When he returned to the inn, he saw Meng Yifan running away in a hurry. When he saw Mu Xiaoling, he felt relieved and said, "You didn't say anything and went out. I thought something bad happened."

Mu Xiaoling shook her head and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out towards Mu Xiaoling.

The person's speed was fast, at least around Fighter 5-dan.

They were evenly matched.

Mu Xiaoling's eyes narrowed as she retreated rapidly and threw a chair to the side.

That person's movement was hindered. He used his sword to cut open the bench, but this pause was more than enough for Mu Xiaoling to move.

She pulled out the dagger hidden in her sock and stabbed at once.

After she had accidentally researched the fourth step of Meteor Steps, she was now more familiar with it and connected to the previous step more and more. It was just that she was still three steps away, so she couldn't use a chain, but it was enough to deal with a Fighter.

After a few exchanges, Mu Xiaoling took advantage of the moment when her opponent was distracted to stab him in the heart.

Although he said it quickly, it was actually only for the blink of an eye. By the time Meng Yifan wanted to rush over to help, he was already dead. "You're not going to leave anyone alive?"

"It's useless to leave a Death Soldier alive." Mu Xiaoling shook her head. "I'm quite curious about the culprit behind my first visit to the capital. Who was it that wanted to harm me?"

"I think I know who it is." Meng Yifan looked over the corpse and found a token on its chest. There were three words written on it — Ling Residence.

"It's actually Duke Ling's men!" Meng Yifan was filled with righteous indignation, "We can't let him off that easily!"

Mu Xiaoling took the token and looked at it. Then, she glanced at Meng Yifan and looked at his hand. She turned her head away and said, "Perhaps."

Meng Yifan's eyes lit up and then he quickly said, "Then let's go look for Prince Ling right now. He must come out and give us justice."

Mu Xiaoling interrupted him, "There's no rush. Let's wait for news from Lord Du."

Meng Yifan, "But …"

Mu Xiaoling looked at him indifferently. "Didn't you say that you would listen to me when you come out?"

Meng Yifan lowered his head. "Alright."

Mu Xiaoling replied, "I grew up in your Meng Family. Only now did your father stop worrying and entrust you to me. How could I possibly harm you?"

Meng Yifan nodded as if he didn't dare to say it out loud. However, he didn't question Mu Xiaoling's words in the slightest.

Mu Xiaoling narrowed her eyes. It seemed that that person had intentionally lured her away. However, she didn't know where he had hidden Meng Yifan.

Mu Xiaoling wasn't an impulsive person. If he were to alert the enemy at this moment, he might actually take Meng Yifan's life. Thus, he had no choice but to restrain himself.

Two days later, Du Feng sent word that the Young Lord would meet them at the Spring Festival Restaurant tonight.

Spring Mansion is a brothel.

The Meng Clan had only come to meet them for the first time, but they had only received them at such a place. It was obvious that they did not place any importance on them, and they even intended to humiliate them.

Mu Xiaoling and a few other members of the Meng Family were gathered together to discuss on how to deal with the situation.

Meng Shijie and Meng Lun were so angry that their faces turned blood-red. They wanted to rush up and fight to the death with the Du Family. Xu Lan's heart was expressionless. As for Meng Yifan …

Meng Yifan pondered for a moment and said, "But I think we should go. Our Meng Family is not an aristocratic family, we should be entertained. Miss Feng, what do you think?"

Mu Xiaoling opened his mouth. "Go."

"Lady Mu!" Meng Shijie shouted and stood up.

"I'll go check on him in my personal capacity. I won't implicate the Meng Clan." Mu Xiaoling spoke with determination.

Meng Shijie and Meng Lun thought that Mu Xiaoling had taken a fancy to the capital's monstrous wealth and thus wanted to involve the Meng Clan in it. Although the two of them didn't want to, since even the Young Lord had spoken, what could they say?

At this moment, Xu Lan made her decision, "I also think we should go. As long as the Du Family treats us well, the Meng Family will naturally soar to the skies."

After making his decision, he began to make his preparations. However, Mu Xiaoling didn't intend to follow these people. Therefore, she simply found an excuse and left alone.

The full spring brothel was the best brothel in the capital, so Mu Xiaoling didn't have to look for it. She found the biggest and most imposing brothel in that flower street, with the plaque of the 'full spring brothel' hanging on it.

Today, she had changed into men's clothing, and her appearance had also been slightly concealed. She was a secret service agent before she transmigrated, so all she had to do was change her hair, straighten her eyebrows, lengthen her eyes and tail, and apply some shadow on both sides of her nose. When she appeared again, even her mother wouldn't be able to recognize her.

At this moment, Mu Xiaoling's appearance could only be considered delicate and pretty. She had the unswerving determination of a man. Moreover, she was young and her chest was not protruding. She didn't seem like a youth that had snuck out.
