Xiao Ze was truly speechless; they had already talked things over.
But they were still arguing.
However, this kind of argument was much better than before.
As long as it didn't escalate, there was no problem. Fighting is affection, scolding is love.
These two loved each other.
Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong immediately shut up.
Xiao Ze was very satisfied; it seemed his status in the family was quite high.
"Now is not the time to discuss such matters. In the remaining week, we need to completely conquer the Heaven Dou Empire, then pass through the Star Dou Great Forest to Star Luo City, and take Star Luo City. Once that's done, we will have completed most of our mission."
"Alright," Bibi Dong nodded.
Afterward, Xiao Ze left a thousand men and divided the remaining nine thousand into nine teams, led by Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and others, to conquer the various kingdoms.
As for the so-called Jiayuguan Defense Line, it was useless. Once Heaven Dou City was taken and the imperial family was eliminated, would they still resist?
It was basically impossible, as their own lives were the most important.
Under these circumstances,
the Spirit Empire basically took down the entire Heaven Dou Empire with little effort... "Aren't you going to see Princess Xueke? She seems to have been looking for you," Xiao Ze asked Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was a bit helpless: "I don't know. I don't know how to see her now, after all..."
"Don't overthink it. As an imperial princess, Princess Xueke naturally understands the reasons for all this. Go see her; you watched her grow up since she was little," Xiao Ze knew that Qian Renxue and Princess Xueke had some affection for each other.
"Alright."
Qian Renxue nodded, walked to a door, and placed her hand on the handle. After a long time, she opened the door and entered.
She saw Princess Xueke sitting on the bed, hugging her knees.
Hearing the door open, Princess Xueke saw that it was Qian Renxue and abruptly stood up.
Her face was pale, her carefully styled hair was disheveled, and her eyes, which always used to hold a smile, were now red and swollen. "Why... why?! Why is my Crown Prince brother a woman, and an enemy at that?!?!"
"You said you'd teach me to play 'Wind, Flowers, Snow, Moon,' and you promised to take me to see the aurora borealis!" Princess Xueke rushed over directly.
Qian Renxue was bumped back half a step. She reached out and caressed Princess Xueke's wet cheek, gently wiping away the constantly falling tears with her thumb.
"I'm sorry."
"But I am Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall, never your Crown Prince brother Xue Qinghe."
"Liar! Liar!" Princess Xueke suddenly grabbed a necklace around her neck.
This was a birthday gift 'Xue Qinghe' had given her.
She tremblingly tore off the necklace, and the gems clattered onto the floor tiles. "My Imperial Father, my brothers and sisters, my grandfather, all were killed by your Spirit Empire people."
"This is war, a war between two Empires. It's either you die or I perish." Qian Renxue grabbed Princess Xueke's shoulders and shook her vigorously, shouting, "Princess Xueke, wake up! This is war, not a petty squabble.
As a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire's Xue family, you should know what war is like!"
Princess Xueke sobbed with red eyes.
Her body went limp, and she squatted on the ground: "I know, I know all of it, but I have no family left. All my relatives are dead! The Empire is gone, I have nothing left!"
Although Qian Renxue felt great pity for Princess Xueke, she did not regret it.
Because she had thought everything through before coming here.
But Princess Xueke was an exception.
When Qian Renxue saw baby Princess Xueke when she was young, she thought of herself.
She didn't want what happened to her in her childhood to happen to Princess Xueke.
Over time, it just became this way, and she didn't want to change it.
Nor could she change it.
It had been decided the first day she arrived at the Heaven Dou Empire.
An angel feather appeared in Qian Renxue's hand. She slowly squatted down and placed it in Princess Xueke's hand: "If you still consider me your older sister, then live well.
Your Xue family still needs you to carry on its legacy."
After speaking, Qian Renxue turned and left.
In the future, as long as Princess Xueke didn't cause trouble, under Qian Renxue's attention, she would live a good life.
And she would also meet someone she liked.
For a princess of a fallen Empire to have such treatment was already very good.
Seeing Qian Renxue leave,
Princess Xueke curled up, burying her face deeply in her palms.
Wails intermittently came out, and her thin shoulders trembled violently.
She clutched the angel feather Qian Renxue had left behind.
Those once warm memories—the gentleness when he taught her to write, the steadfastness when he shielded her from punishment, the sleepless nights spent guarding her when she was ill... at this moment, they seemed to transform into the sharpest blades, tearing her heart to shreds.
"Wuwu... Brother... Sister..."
Qian Renxue leaned against the door, listening to Princess Xueke's voice from inside the room, her eyes slightly red... The next day, the army assembled outside Heaven Dou City.
"How are you?" Xiao Ze looked at Qian Renxue; she hadn't come to see him yesterday.
"Not in a very good mood," Qian Renxue said, hanging her head.
"I understand, it will get better," Xiao Ze patted her head.
"Don't be so disrespectful; I'm older than you," Qian Renxue said with dissatisfaction.
"Got it, got it."
The army quickly set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
At the same time, the Star Luo Empire, having noticed that the Spirit Empire had taken Hadrian City and made no other moves,
immediately dispatched a large army to various rebellious cities to suppress the revolts.
As for Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, they were completely unconcerned about this matter.
These people were originally meant to attract the Star Luo Empire's attention.
Allowing the Spirit Empire to annex the Heaven Dou Empire.
And now, most of the Star Luo Empire's army was not in Star Luo City, which was precisely the time for the Spirit Empire to attack.
"Old Ghost, His Majesty and the others are about to reach the Star Dou Great Forest. We should also set off."
"Alright."
With that, the two figures immediately disappeared.
Several days later,
"You've arrived?" Ditian looked at Xiao Ze and the others.
"Mm... What, are you coming with us to the Star Luo Empire?" Xiao Ze smiled.
"You don't need us at all," Ditian shook his head.
"Oh, right, that matter Bi Ji and I discussed last time, when do you plan to start?" Xiao Ze asked.
Ditian naturally knew what Xiao Ze meant: "Let's talk about it after you unify the continent."
"Alright," Xiao Ze nodded; this matter couldn't be rushed.
The next moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's figures suddenly appeared.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Holy Son."
"What is the situation in the Star Luo Empire now?" Bibi Dong asked.
"The Star Luo Emperor has sent seventy percent of his army out to quell the rebellion. Currently, the defenses around Star Luo City have no more than three hundred thousand troops," Chrysanthemum Douluo respectfully said.
"The Star Luo Empire is still quite strong, to still have three hundred thousand troops."
