Thinking this, Qin Yuan took action.
She blended into a group of maids and approached Qing Chi. The moment she made her move, she was immediately apprehended by two guards.
Pressed to the ground, Qin Yuan was bewildered. "What are you doing! Let me go!"
At this, one of the guards addressed the man on the throne. "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, this is a human! She killed a little demon to sneak in!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Chi's brow furrowed. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Yuan, pinned to the ground, said, "Demon Emperor, I love you too! Do you know that? It was to catch a glimpse of you that I did those bloody things. To make you look at me, I..."
As Qing Chi listened, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The next second, a long sword pierced directly through Qin Yuan's body. In the next instant, she fell straight to the ground, her eyes filled with unwillingness. Wasn't she the female lead? How could she die so easily!
On the throne, the man's voice was icy as he declared, "Those who kill my demon race must pay with their lives!"
On the other side, Ming Li returned the Fate Orb to the old Heavenly Dao official, saying, "She brought about her own demise."
The Heavenly Dao was stunned.
After Ming Li's figure disappeared, the old Heavenly Dao official bowed deeply in the direction Ming Li had vanished. "Thank you, esteemed one!"
Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao took Bai Ze as his Heavenly Dao son...
Upon returning to the State Preceptor's mansion, the system in the space spoke up, "Host, the tasks are almost complete. Shall we detach from the plane?"
Glancing at the small boy running towards her, Ming Li paused and replied, "Let's wait a little longer."
Time flew by, and twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Ran had grown from an innocent boy into a powerful man in court, the youngest Prime Minister of the Dong Yue Kingdom, and the dream lover of countless young ladies in the capital. The doorstep of the State Preceptor's mansion was almost worn flat by matchmakers.
Seeing this, Ming Li found Su Ran and asked, "When are you planning to start a family?"
Hearing this, Su Ran was taken aback. "Start a family? Sister, I don't want to start a family yet."
Ming Li: "..."
Two days later, Ming Li heard that the Emperor intended for his brother to marry the princess of a neighboring country.
Upon hearing this news, Ming Li directly grabbed a sack and sneaked into the imperial palace, proceeding to beat up the Emperor.
The Emperor: "..."
As a result, after she finished her deed and returned, she saw Su Ran walking towards her with a troubled expression, hesitating before speaking, "Sister, I..."
Seeing the peculiar blush on Su Ran's face, Ming Li's mouth twitched. She asked, "You've found a woman you like?"
Seeing the man nod, Ming Li inquired curiously, "Who is it?"
Su Ran replied, "The princess of the neighboring country."
Ming Li: "..."
Hearing this, Ming Li instinctively hid the sack she was holding behind her...
She said it wasn't intentional, and she didn't know if the Emperor believed her...
Three days later, Ming Li accompanied Su Ran to welcome the princess of the neighboring country.
However, they encountered a group of assassins on the way. The neighboring princess's horse was startled, and the carriage overturned. A slender figure flew out of the carriage.
Just as Jun Ran thought she was about to have an intimate encounter with the ground, she suddenly fell into a soft embrace.
When she looked up, she saw an exquisitely beautiful face.
At that moment, looking at this somewhat familiar face, Jun Ran felt time stand still.
Thump, thump...
Jun Ran clutched her rapidly beating heart, her small face flushing crimson.
After Ming Li dealt with the assassins with a single sword strike, she gently placed the maiden in her arms down and asked, "Are you the princess of the neighboring country?"
Hearing this clear and pleasant voice, Jun Ran, still clutching her chest, shyly nodded.
Seeing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, not noticing the maiden's unusual expression, and directly pulled over a nearby horse, mounted it, and then looked at the neighboring princess, asking, "Can you ride a horse?"
Jun Ran, about to nod, froze as she saw the outstretched hand. For some reason, she shook her head inexplicably and said with a blush, "No."
Saying this, she extended her hand.
Ming Li took the maiden's hand and, with a gentle pull, lifted her onto the horse.
Jun Ran, curled up in Ming Li's embrace, flushed even deeper, but Ming Li did not notice. Her gaze fell upon the attendants on the ground, and she said in a faint voice, "I'm here to pick someone up. Follow me."
With that, she rode towards the direction of the Dong Yue Kingdom.
On the other side, Su Ran let out a sigh of relief as he watched Ming Li ride back. His gaze fell upon the maiden in Ming Li's embrace, and Su Ran was stunned.
Jun Ran also saw Su Ran and quickly waved, shouting, "Xiao Ranzi! This princess has come to find you!"
Hearing this, Su Ran's forehead broke out in black lines.
Soon, Ming Li and Jun Ran arrived in front of Su Ran.
Glancing at Jun Ran, Su Ran said, "Sister, you just..."
Ming Li replied, "Went to save your wife."
Su Ran's face turned red. Realizing what Ming Li had said, his eyes chilled, and he coldly stated, "Investigate who dared to assassinate the princess!"
The person behind him nodded and left.
Seeing this, Ming Li asked curiously, "Do you two know each other?"
Hearing this, Su Ran nodded and replied, "His Majesty previously sent me to a neighboring country on official business, and I encountered assassins. I was severely injured, and luckily I met A'Ran..."
Hearing this, Jun Ran, whose gaze had been fixed on Ming Li, snapped back to reality. The next second, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "You know each other?!"
Su Ran replied, "She's my sister."
