Mu Rong Hong Yu could only release his tightly clenched hands, he was so nervous that he did not know what to do.

At this time, the Sedum lying on the sickbed began to tremble lightly.

"What's wrong? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Mu Rong Hong Yu immediately stood up and measured her forehead, then checked other areas, finding nothing amiss. Then, he quickly turned to ask Gu Ling Xue, "What happened to her?"

"Cold." Seeing Mu Rong Hong Yu's anxious look, the Sedum lying on the ice stone could not help but let out a sound.

For no reason at all, she actually had a bone chilling sensation.

Mu Rong Hong Yu came to a realization and quickly carried Sedum off the ice bed. Without saying a word, he walked out of the secret room.

Gu Ling Xue helplessly shook her head behind him, and waited for Mu Rong Hong Yu to disappear at the exit of the secret room, and then she left as well.

Since Sedum had already woken up, her mission could be considered to be completed. Next, she had to truly start developing her own power.

Her red lips slightly curled up, and a trace of an unrestrained yet not lost in shock smile swept across Gu Ling Xue's face once more.

Actually, doing good deeds was also an interesting thing.

It was a pity that the lady had actually forgotten about the Mu Rong Hong Yu who was so infatuated with her.

Otherwise, it would be a good story

Leaving the secret room from another exit, Gu Ling Xue quietly snuck out of the Imperial Palace.

Behind him, the sound of intentionally light footsteps rang out once again.

Gu Ling Xue looked around and realised that it was noon when no one was in or out, so, even if Gu Ling Xue was assassinated by the person behind him, no one would notice him.

Furthermore, this palace was very far from the empress's quarters. Even if something were to happen to her here, no one would ever think of carrying her on their back.

A sneer crept into his mind.

Empress, you are really a good schemer.

Unfortunately, the person you met, is me!

As the sound of footsteps from behind constantly drew closer, Gu Ling Xue's palm also slowly began to accumulate an extremely strong force.

In the empty Imperial Palace Alley, a strong wind gradually gathered from all directions.

The black-clothed man who had been following Gu Ling Xue the entire time only raised her head to take a look at this sudden change in scenery, but she did not think too much about it and continued to follow Gu Ling Xue closely.

But unexpectedly, after a moment, the gale wind that gathered over, without any warning, rushed towards the black clothed men, but perfectly bypassed where Gu Ling Xue was.

Only now did the black-clothed man realize that something was wrong.

Gu Ling Xue was still slowly walking in the alleyway, and five hundred meters away was the entrance to the palace.

After roughly calculating the distance, Gu Ling Xue's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She couldn't continue to evade. She had to face the enemy head on to make the empress retreat. She had already lost her patience with the empress.

Gu Ling Xue looked around, and then with a flash, she borrowed the force of the wind to instantly appear beside one of the black-clothed men.

A strange smile appeared on his face. As soon as the black clothed man opened his eyes, he grabbed onto the black clothed man's throat with his bare hands. Before the black clothed man could react, his wrist tightened and the person in front of him had already fallen to the ground.

The muffled sound of the body falling to the ground echoed in the alley. The strong wind gradually dissipated, and the men in black, whose minds were disturbed by the wind, became even more alert when they heard the sound of the body falling to the ground.

Gu Ling Xue did not dare to stop for even a second. With the help of the strong wind, Gu Ling Xue always took the black-clothed man by surprise and made a fatal strike.

But unfortunately, there were too many black clothed men and Gu Ling Xue was still very weak.

After continuously taking care of four or five black-clothed men, Gu Ling Xue's speed clearly decreased, and it became a little difficult to deal with the black-clothed man.

Gu Ling Xue glanced at the two people who joined the battle without giving instructions, and felt displeased in her heart.

After all, her ability had become even more important to her since coming to this new world. Thus, from the very beginning, she didn't like the help of others. She only wanted to rely on her own strength to defeat them.

Therefore, even though he had met with many pursuers before, Gu Ling Xue had still been the only one to take care of it.

He took out his soft whip from his pocket and swung it down, instantly dispersing the surrounding black clothed men.

Although Gu Ling Xue really didn't like other people's help, but looking at it now, these black-clothed men were not something that the three of them could handle alone.

It looked like the empress had invested a lot.

Gu Ling Xue escaped from the group in a flash, and had a short period of rest. Just as she wanted to enter the chaotic battle, Gu Ling Xue suddenly felt something amiss with her wrist.

Just as Gu Ling Xue was about to attack, the green snake on her wrist that was like a bracelet suddenly disappeared.

Gu Ling Xue looked in surprise in the direction that Green Snake had disappeared to, and suddenly stopped.

In just an instant, the dozen or so men in black fell to the ground in succession. Without any warning, they all stopped breathing.

An Tian and An Ying simultaneously retracted their hands and returned to Gu Ling Xue's side. Only when they followed Gu Ling Xue's gaze did they notice a small green snake swimming amongst the black clothed men.

Gradually calming down, only then did Gu Ling Xue suddenly realize that there was an extremely weak and soft voice that continuously resounded in her mind.

"Do not bully my master! You are not allowed to bully my master! "

This short sentence kept repeating itself. Although his voice was weak, Gu Ling Xue could still clearly feel the faint anger in his voice.

Gu Ling Xue could not help but smile, and instantly understood the source of the voice, just that she did not expect it to be so protective.

Without any hesitation, even though they knew how powerful Green Snake's power was, the two of them still resolutely stood in front of Gu Ling Xue, and tried to help Gu Ling Xue block Green Snake's attack.

"Master, you go first."

Seeing that Gu Ling Xue had no signs of moving, An Tian could only block in front of Gu Ling Xue, and prepare to receive the green serpent's attack.

Gu Ling Xue's smile became even wider, and she casually pushed aside An Tian who was standing in front of him, and said: "Don't worry, I know this snake."

Listening to Gu Ling Xue's explanation, An Tian opened her eyes wide in shock, and unconsciously retreated a few steps, as she personally saw Green Snake jump into Gu Ling Xue's embrace.

"Master, master." The cheerful voice that seemed to have claimed credit once again resounded in Gu Ling Xue's mind.

Gu Ling Xue placed Green Snake on her hand, indicating for him to not move. Suddenly, she remembered that Green Snake did not have a name, so she asked: "What should I call you?"

It was as if he was asking the Blue Luan s in his hands, or asking himself.

However, Gu Ling Xue's mutterings made An Tian even more confused.

They even started naming it?

When the Blue Luan heard Gu Ling Xue's voice, it happily circled around Gu Ling Xue's hand and at the same time, a soft voice entered Gu Ling Xue's mind, "Master, listen carefully.

It was a praise that was not modified in the slightest, causing the corners of Gu Ling Xue's eyes to twitch uncontrollably when she heard the words, and she immediately said: "Blue Luan, then I'll call you Luan."

The petite snake head continuously shook in the palm of Gu Ling Xue's hand, as if it was nodding its head.

An Tian and Yue Yang who were watching the cute and exquisite little snake felt a sense of novelty in their hearts, but just as they wanted to reach out to touch it, they were scared by Luan who was spitting snakes, and retracted their hands.

He didn't expect his voice to sound so soft and gentle, but he wasn't polite to outsiders at all.

Just for that, she liked it.

Gu Ling Xue gently caressed Luan's body, and then tried to ask in her mind: "Can I also communicate with you like this?"

"Yes, yes. Master, you're so smart."

While replying to Gu Ling Xue, she nuzzled her tongue against her palm.

From Gu Ling Xue's point of view, she was like a snake that was completely different from Green Snake who killed without batting an eyelid.

Gu Ling Xue raised her eyes and looked at the corpses on the ground, suddenly she heard organized footsteps.

"Someone's coming. Let's go."

After he gave some instructions in a low voice, Gu Ling Xue took the lead and left the place. An Tian also returned to the darkness at this time, and quietly followed Gu Ling Xue, maintaining an unchanging distance from him.

And as soon as Gu Ling Xue finished speaking, Luan pulled back his snake head, returning it back to Gu Ling Xue's wrist.

At this moment, the jade bracelet that was originally green like a jade bracelet gradually turned darker.

Gu Ling Xue sprinted to the palace gate, but just as she was about to step out, another idea flashed through her mind.

Thus, Gu Ling Xue who was about to step out of the Imperial Palace entrance turned and flew in another direction.

There was an old friend. It was time to meet him.

"Xi Men Na Lan, how have you been?"

As if he had entered a place devoid of people, Gu Ling Xue entered the empress's chamber without any obstructions and easily saw the empress.

"How dare you!"

The Queen looked at Gu Ling Xue, her eyes filled with shock: "You, how did you come in?"

"Go where? Your chamber? " Gu Ling Xue unrestrainedly selected a chair and sat down, her tone full of ridicule and disdain, "I casually entered the emperor's chambers, what about you?"

It was just two short sentences, but it accurately pierced the empress's heart. "You shameless woman!"

"Someone, come!" The Queen pointed at Gu Ling Xue with her trembling finger, but no one came in despite shouting a few words.

"Empress, your memory is really bad." With that, Gu Ling Xue changed into a more comfortable position on the chair, and said slowly, "Didn't you send all of your subordinates to assassinate me?"

She was stunned for a moment, then her mind went blank as if a bolt of lightning had struck her.

After that, she lowered her finger and pointed at Gu Ling Xue, then looked towards another direction and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
