Miss Loser is too enchanting

"Cough cough..." Mang Qianjun tried to say something as he suddenly stood up. Dugu Qianye also got up from the bed and stood alongside him. Xiaohuo and Fu Shang had already flown out of the window earlier.

"Is it you they’re looking for?" Mang Qianjun asked Dugu Qianye, "Who have you offended? Such a thick murderous aura!"

"I don’t know, maybe they’re here for you!" Dugu Qianye replied and then flew out.

Mang Qianjun watched Dugu Qianye’s retreating figure and said, "This scent, you can tell who it is with just one whiff. This time, it looks like I really have to play the guard." After taking a few steps, he stopped and added, "Zi Xiao must have received the news already, yet he didn’t send anyone over. He can’t seriously expect me to act as her guard, can he?! That Zi Xiao, I will definitely demand protection fees from him later!"

Dugu Qianye joined Xiaohuo and the others and, looking up at the sky, asked, "What’s going on?"

Xiaohuo replied with a grave expression, "I don’t know, but it seems they are here for us."

Everyone from the Phoenix Clan had already gathered above the Phoenix Tree Forest, and Lan Yue approached Dugu Qianye, saying, "Sister, are you alright?"

Dugu Qianye looked at the anxious Lan Yue and said, "How could anything have happened to me when the enemy hasn’t even arrived?"

Little Baiqiu, perched on Dugu Qianye’s shoulder with both legs standing and one claw pointing skyward, stated fiercely with round, glaring eyes, "Whoever dares to bully Keke, I’ll bite them to death!"

As Mang Qianjun flew up, he just happened to hear Little Baiqiu’s words and burst out laughing, drawing an angry glare from the little creature. Then, turning around, it presented its backside and little tail to him, the tail even twitching in a clear show of contempt!

This was hardly surprising; if Little Baiqiu had appeared in its true form, Mang Qianjun would have certainly recognized it. But now, it was in a transformed state, completely unrelated to its true form, and even though Mang Qianjun had seen Divine Roar numerous times, he did not recognize it now. With such a cute appearance, he just took it as a playful comment.

At that moment, a huge dark cloud appeared in the sky. The Phoenix Clan members were curious, since it had never rained in the Phoenix Tree Forest, so why were there dark clouds today?

Only when the dark cloud drew near did Dugu Qianye and the others realize it was not a cloud at all, but a large group of black-clad troops.

"Heavens, heavens!" a Phoenix screeched in alarm.

"Why would so many troops be coming our way?"

"It looks like the Peacekeeping Army of the Ruler!"

"Why would the Ruler send troops over?"

"We won’t be exterminated like the Seal Clan, will we?"

When Dugu Qianye saw the so-called Peacekeeping Army, her eyes narrowed slightly. This presence, the visitors were undoubtedly hostile!

Mang Qianjun also was taken aback upon seeing the black-clad troops, thinking to himself, Yong Xing’s move is too bold, isn’t it?! I wonder if my current strength will be enough to hold them off?!

The black-clad army arrived above the Phoenix Tree Forest, and the captain in the center demanded, "Where is the Vermilion Bird?"

Xiaohuo flew up to the same altitude as them and challenged, "Who are you to trespass in my Phoenix Tree Forest so brazenly?"

"I am Mu Lin, captain of the fifteenth squad of the Peacekeeping Army. Without the Ruler’s consent, you evolved from the Golden Phoenix to the Vermilion Bird, consuming a massive amount of the world’s energy and causing great disturbances and harm to the world. By the command of the Ruler, I am here to take you back for interrogation," Mu Lin coldly replied, looking at Xiaohuo.

"Humph, when one wants to punish, any excuse will do! As if I don’t know what kind of person Yong Xing is! If you think I’ll go with you, dream on!" Xiaohuo said with a cold laugh.

"Vermilion Bird, I advise you not to resist and obediently come back with us!" Mu Lin looked at Xiaohuo. "Otherwise, all the birds in this forest will suffer because of you!"

Dugu Qianye came to Xiaohuo’s side, looked at Mu Lin, and said, "You never planned to take Xiaohuo back, did you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have brought so many people. Since that’s the case, why bother with such talk!"

"Who are you?" Mu Lin asked Dugu Qianye, feeling a sore spot poked by her remark.

Before coming, Yong Xing had indeed said that if the Vermilion Bird resisted, they should kill it on the spot. If it did not resist and left with them, they were to deal with it on the way!

"Me? I am her Pledged Master. You say you want to take my Contract Beast away without even saying hello to me, her Pledged Master?" Dugu Qianye looked at Mu Lin as if looking at an idiot.

"You are her Pledged Master? Then come with us!" Mu Lin told Dugu Qianye.

Dugu Qianye scoffed and said, "Go? Do you think that’s possible?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"I advise you not to make any futile resistance!" Mu Lin said.

"Not resist? Not resisting is a dead end. Xiaohuo, do you think we’d do such a boring thing?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Xiaohuo transformed into its true form and said, "Never! We always do meaningful things!"

"Humph, since you refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit, don’t blame us!" Mu Lin waved his right hand and commanded, "Take them!"

The Peacekeeping Army, receiving the order, swiftly dispersed and surrounded the entire Phoenix Clan and the Purple Eagle Clan that had rushed over. Xiaohuo let out a long cry, and all the birds cried out in unison before attacking the Peacekeeping Army.

The whole sky above the Phoenix Tree Forest was filled with the figures of both sides fighting.

Although the power of the Phoenix Clan was not weak, it was still slightly inferior to the Peacekeeping Army. Many phoenixes and Purple Eagles were injured, or had lost their lives forever.

Xiaohuo, gazing at those dead birds, cried out in grief, causing the entire Fengwu Continent to tremble, and many people on the continent heard its cry.

"Mother!" Lan Qing was injured and fell into the Phoenix Tree Forest. Lan Mei saw it, leaped to catch her, but overlooked the person behind.

"CLANG!" The person about to attack Lan Mei was unexpectedly struck from behind and fell straight down. As he fell face up to the ground, he saw Dugu Qianye holding a zither and looking at him.

"Fuxiqin..." The man’s words cut off as he took his final breath.

Dugu Qianye was fighting with a man in black, and hearing Lan Mei’s cry, she turned her head and saw her diving down to catch Lan Qing, but neglecting the person behind her. Dugu Qianye feinted a move at her opponent, took out Fuxiqin, summoned Spiritual Power, strummed the zither strings, and the sound waves took the man’s life instantly!

Lan Mei, hearing the sound of the zither, turned her head and saw the fallen man in black and Dugu Qianye behind him.

"Xiaohuo!" Dugu Qianye called out to Xiaohuo.

Seeing Dugu Qianye take out Fuxiqin, Xiaohuo came to her side, allowing her to sit on its back.

Thinking of how Lan Mei was nearly ambushed, Dugu Qianye felt a surge of panic, her fingers swiftly plucked the zither strings, and a song filled with killing intent began to rise above the battlefield.

This was the first time she played such a deadly song, and the lower-powered men in black were killed by the sound waves. But even so, the murderous intent in her heart was still not alleviated.
