Xiao Yu didn't expect Mu Xiaoling to notice it so quickly and was surprised for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is right." Mu Xiaoling thought for a moment. "I remember that this Eunuch Lin was very fat, about fifty years old in appearance, and had a very amiable personality, but that Eunuch Lin was very thin just now, and looked very young as well. At most, he was twenty years old, and I initially thought that it was because of the chaos in my dream.

As if confirming Mu Xiaoling's words, a fat eunuch ran towards them from afar with two buckets in his hands. He muttered, "We're finished. We're going to be punished if we finish the water."

Seeing the fat eunuch's appearance, Mu Xiaoling was sure that this was the real Eunuch Lin.

Xiao Yu understood what Mu Xiaoling meant, he stopped the fat eunuch and asked, "Who are you to be so restless?"

The real Eunuch Lin kneeled on the floor, looking like he had been caught red-handed, "This servant is the imperial kitchens' service eunuch, Zhang Debao. I woke up late today, so I'm in the wrong. Crown Prince and Crown Princess, please bypass this servant."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "You can go."

This Eunuch Zhen Lin kowtowed to express his gratitude and then ran away. His fat body forcefully ran away at the speed of a cat, afraid that he would be taken care of by these two if he was a step too slow.

Mu Xiaoling's eyelids twitched when she saw Eunuch Lin's attitude. She felt her eyes hurt as she said, "Now we are sure that Nightmare has replaced Eunuch Lin and the real Eunuch Lin has turned into the imperial kitchens' eunuch, Zhang Debao."

However, Xiao Yu shook his head, "That's not necessarily the case. Let's wait and see."

Mu Xiaoling nodded in agreement. "Why don't we go take a look at him …" "Zhang Debao."

"Let's go."

The two of them first returned to the Eastern Palace for a change of clothes, before sneaking over to the royal kitchen. Zhang DeBao worked very hard, chopping firewood and boiling water was meticulous, not long later, large drops of sweat dripped down. He used his sleeves to wipe his forehead, and then sat down to rest in the shade.

Mu Xiaoling observed for a while and found that there was nothing to be seen. She was about to leave when she saw a small bird landed beside the axe and agilely turned around. The tail feather actually brushed the axe but the bird didn't notice anything.

Mu Xiaoling's face darkened. Even though this was just a small detail, everything in this dream was still tangible, and one could touch it, but now that he thought about it, this Zhang Debao, the incarnation of Eunuch Lin, who was he? He had been serving the Emperor since he was young, and his strength was at least a level 6 fighter, so how could he be so exhausted from chopping firewood and boiling water?

Last night, she had personally injured that black skeleton.

Thinking of this, she decided to give it a try.

Mu Xiaoling lowered her body and quietly approached the axe. Taking advantage of the moment the others weren't prepared, she immediately flew up. Just as she was about to grab the axe handle, Zhang De Bao's expression changed.

His originally panting face instantly contorted into a ghastly expression. He raised his hand and shot a black smoke towards Mu Xiaoling.

Looking at the situation, it was clear that Eunuch Lin was the one who set the trap for her. The real Nightmare was right here, and that axe was probably the point of contact where she left this world.

However, in the face of Nightmare's attack, she had no choice but to temporarily stop.

Xiao Yu even placed his hand on the wall as he smiled, "Do you need my help?"

With his strength, he could easily kill Nightmare. He was willing to help as long as Mu Xiaoling asked for it. This way, Mu Xiaoling would owe him a favor and would be willing to help him.

"No need." Mu Xiaoling's voice was sonorous as she landed on the ground. The dagger in her hand was the same one that had been smeared with lime the last time. It seemed as if it was alive in her hand. It moved like a tiny silver snake, leaving behind a trail of silver shadows.

Ever since she had learned the Green Leaf Dagger, her dagger techniques had become more nimble. Furthermore, there were also many changes in her movements. Even without using any martial skills, she was still able to make people feel threatened.

As the inner demon failed to disguise itself, a streak of black smoke flashed and took the form of a black skeleton. The skull's eight thin and long arms were linked together and swept towards Mu Xiaoling one by one.

Mu Xiaoling nimbly weaved between the skeletal arms and stabbed the dagger into the spot where the skeleton was connected. The skeleton in her hand immediately collapsed to the ground as if it had scattered. However, a moment later, the skeleton reformed as black smoke gathered and formed a new arm.

It seemed impossible.

Mu Xiaoling quickly calculated in her mind. Finally, her gaze fell on the gigantic black skeleton. It seemed that she could only destroy this main body.

Her body was as nimble as a swallow's. She slightly turned around to avoid the arm that was smashing down, and then with a stomp, she used the momentum to avoid the sweeping black skeleton's arm, borrowing the force to make another counterattack.

The black skeletons' arms were tied with a knot and four of them were wasted. Mu Xiaoling used the momentum to jump up again. This time, his target was the Nightmare itself.

Green Leaf Dagger.

Mu Xiaoling thought to herself as her body gently floated down like a fallen leaf. She could feel any stream of air following the flow of the air, but for a moment, nothing could touch her. On the contrary, every movement of the air became a source of support for her, allowing her to slowly approach the Nightmare.

At that moment, she moved.

The dagger seemed to have transformed into a myriad of leaves, so many people were not sure. The silver blade reflected many rays of light, making the people unable to see clearly until the blades moved, slicing the skeleton one by one.

In the blink of an eye, the gigantic skeleton was split into countless pieces. The leaf blade then merged into one and became the dagger in her hand, piercing through the skull.

Nightmare let out a loud roar of pain and fell to the ground, turning into a cloud of black smoke and completely dispersing.

Nightmare died.

Mu Xiaoling floated to the ground as the dagger in his hand shattered into pieces, leaving behind only the handle intact.

She could not help but sigh. It seemed that ordinary daggers could not withstand the strength of the Green Leaf Dagger technique. It seemed that she needed to find another qualified weapon.

"Indeed, to be able to execute the Green Leaf Dagger to such an extent in a single day, you are indeed a genius." Xiao Yu sincerely praised.

This Green Leaf Dagger was extremely difficult to learn, and one could only rely on spreading memories and true essence. Simply put, those who could trigger it might not be able to use it.

Xiao Yu had only ever seen someone like Mu Xiaoling, who could use it once he learned it. He was truly a genius amongst geniuses.
