The black dragon let out a wail and immediately turned into black smoke, dispersing just like that.

The bandit leader let out a blood-curdling screech and fell to the ground while twitching. His originally youthful face rapidly aged and his hair turned white. Finally, his bones turned into ashes and disappeared into the wind.

Mu Xiaoling felt a loud sound in her ears. The protective screen had been completely crushed by her. Level 6 Fighter had arrived.

However, at this moment, she was covered in blood and her face was pale. She staggered a step and fell into an embrace. She slightly raised her head and saw the worried face of Gu Xiu Hu.

"Master, I'll treat your injuries."

Mu Xiaoling looked at her snow-white robe, which was dyed bright red even after killing all the water bandits. With a slight smile, she shook her head. "No worries. I'm just a bit tired."

Gu Xiu Hu carried her into a clean cabin and placed her on the bed.

Tao Tie said: "Girl, you should have a Cyan Aurora Pill inside there, which is stored in a small scarlet wooden box. That pill can not only replenish your blood, but it can also help you stabilize your recent breakthrough, it can't be any better."

The Taotie did not feel sorry for these things. In any case, most of them weren't its own, they were left behind by those people from back then.

Mu Xiaoling rested for a while before she took out the Cyan Cloud Pill and ate it according to Tao Tie's instructions. She then began to meditate.

After reaching the sixth level of this martial artist, her dantian seemed to have expanded by quite a bit, and the amount of true essence she could contain also increased. If it was only the size of a ping pong ball at the start, then it would now be the size of a basketball.

Once again, Mu Xiaoling circulated the [Skydark Mantra] and the wounds on her body gradually recovered. Her soul consciousness fused with the world once again. She could see Gu Xiu Hu quietly accompanying her as he connected Lin Ze and Lin Xiangdie to the ship.

Perhaps it was because she was constantly absorbing spiritual energy to convert it into true essence, but she was still constantly supplying Gu Xiu. Furthermore, she had not used up any of his battle energy yet, but Gu Xiu had still not disappeared.

He sat there for three days and three nights.

When she finished her cultivation, she opened her eyes and saw Gu Xiu cultivating by her side.

Gu Xiu opened his eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up as he revealed a smile. In an instant, he asked, "Master, are you okay?"

"Not bad." Mu Xiaoling got up and stretched her muscles. "How is it going outside?"

"Everything is fine. Since Master is fine, I will return." Gu Xiu said. After all, he was a burden to Mu Xiaoling outside.

Mu Xiaoling nodded. After Gu Xiu Hu had disappeared, she changed into a clean set of clothes and walked out of the cabin. When she opened the door, she found that there was a large hall with a few tables inside.

The Lin Family's father and daughter, as well as the young man she had saved, were both sitting in the hall.

When Lin Xiangdie saw Mu Xiaoling, tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She ran over and held onto Mu Xiaoling's hand as she cried. "Big sister Mu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Mu Xiaoling looked around and asked, "How have you been these past few days?"

"It's fine," said Lin Xiangdie. "That day, you got on the boat, and we were very worried, until that good-looking man came over and said that you had gone into closed-door training for the time being, and told us to go clean up on the ship. After that, we'll wait here for you to come out."

What Lin Xiangdie didn't say was that when she and Lin Ze got on the boat and saw the corpses, they were frightened out of their wits, and took great pains to throw them into the river. She didn't start to feel numb until she picked up the young man beside her and dragged him to the side of the boat.

Lin Xiangdie continued, "He is the Eastern King, the younger brother of the current Emperor."

"I am Shen Hao. Thank you, Lady Mu, for saving my life." Shen Hao cupped his hands together in gratitude before asking curiously, "Does Miss Mu know how I passed out that day?"

Mu Xiaoling awkwardly coughed in response. She couldn't possibly say that she was the one who knocked on the door. She straightened her expression and replied seriously, "I don't know."

"So it's like that …" He did not know, and he did not receive any injuries. The Gentleman laughed: "The three of you have saved my life, and I heard that the three of you are going to the capital. Coincidentally, we are travelling together, so it would be better if we travel together.

Shen Hao is quite smart." Mu Xiaoling smiled, Shen Hao was quite smart, now that his men had been completely slaughtered, he was on his own. If they were to escort him, his safety would naturally increase greatly.

Until Shen Hao couldn't take it anymore, lowering his head and turning his face away, how could he not know that his thoughts were exposed, just that the other party did save him, and his scheme was indeed wrong.

"Alright." Mu Xiaoling nodded. She really needed to change the boat.

Shen Hao originally thought that the other party wouldn't agree, but he was suddenly struck dumb by the word 'good', and unconsciously said: "You … "What did you say …"

Mu Xiaoling smiled. "I said yes, you can travel with us."

Shen Hao cupped his fists and bowed deeply: "Thank you."

Mu Xiaoling shook her head and walked over to the splint. The water vapor that was mixed with a slight breeze blew past her ears, causing her to feel refreshed. When the sunlight shone down, her eyes first hurt for a moment before she started to get used to it.

With this large ship, his speed was much faster than the small fishing boat. Before long, Lin Xiangdie could be seen skipping as she ran over. "Elder Sister Mu, let's eat."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. There were already prepared ingredients on the boat. Lin Ze knew how to cook, so he quickly prepared a table full of chicken, duck, and fish.

Lin Xiangdie's eyes almost popped out of her head as she drooled. Even Shen Hao, who was used to eating these kinds of food, found the way in the countryside somewhat refreshing.

This was the best meal they had in recent days.

As they were eating and sitting on the deck, another ship approached. A woman was standing on the deck. It was Li Xiuniang.

The speed of the small fishing boat was naturally inferior to that of the large boat. Ever since Li Xiuniang had learned that the few of them had boarded the boat and were sailing downstream, she had made the large boat chase relentlessly.

It was unknown whether she would be able to survive if the mission really fell into her hands. At this moment, she saw four people on the large ship opposite her. Two were men and two were women. One was old and one was young.

She wondered, could it be these people?

Mu Xiaoling wasn't too worried. They had already changed their clothes and were now wearing clothes that only the rich and powerful could wear. Li Xiuniang had only heard the old master of the Wang family talk about them and hadn't seen them before, so how could she recognize them?
