"You, you, how could you know my true identity?" An Lushan said in a panic.
"Well, now it's my turn to ask you, Mr. Centipede." Shirahoshi completed the final stitches of the surgery, and the ROOM space vanished like a bubble.
Before An Lushan could utter any more threats, Bai Xing's figure vanished from his sight in an instant.
"What about people?!"
"Here it is."
boom! ! !
At the head of the giant puppet, Shirahoshi stood above, creating a large hole in the puppet. At the same time, she extended chakra threads from her left hand, grabbing An Lushan's body, while dark Yin Release chakra appeared in her right hand.
"Seal of evil!"
"Ahhhh-"
Bai Xing placed her right hand on An Lushan's chest.
Because the heart's chakra was sealed by Shirahoshi, the energy of the surrounding chakra threads, and even the chakra used to maintain An Lushan's puppet body, gradually began to disappear.
Followed by.
Bai Xing captured An Lushan and brought him before the Queen. "Your Majesty, look what I caught! It's fresh An Lushan!"
Sally: "..." This person is a madman, absolutely a madman!!!
Thus, the conspiracy of the ancient Loulan Kingdom and An Lushan's attempt to control the people by holding the queen hostage completely failed.
Next.
Now it's the villain's turn... cough cough, the good guys Shirahoshi captures the Queen and her daughter and begins a new round of control.
In the streets of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, many people fled to shelters, including Yahiko and Nagato.
Yahiko was worried about the safety of Shirahoshi and her group: "I wonder how the Dean and the others are doing."
"They should be fine..."
"Wait a minute!"
"Why don't we just leave this country? That way we won't have to hide!"
Upon hearing Nagato's words, Yahiko raised his head, and the surrounding crowd also raised their heads, falling into a daze and deep in thought.
soon.
The guards of the ancient Loulan Kingdom walked in from outside, indicating that the crisis had passed and everyone could now continue sightseeing and shopping without worry...
On the surface, the people were all smiling, but in reality, once they returned to their hotels and onto the streets, they were all busy grabbing their luggage and making a quick getaway.
Apart from local residents and the Yahiko-Nagato duo, almost all other travelers and merchants fled.
"Seriously, is it really that serious?"
Yahiko muttered to himself, thinking to himself, "It's just a small incident, and they've all run away."
"But Yahiko, shouldn't we also...?"
"I just booked the inn, it's 10,000 Wind Coins for three days. Also, the inn is non-refundable at this time. Nagato, are you sure you want to leave?"
"..."
"I think we should be a little more confident; staying a couple more days shouldn't cause any problems. Probably."
And so, news of the internal strife in the ancient Loulan Kingdom would quietly spread among many merchants and travelers in the following days.
Meanwhile, in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, Bai Xing had completed his deployment.
"from now on."
"Queen."
“You are the tenth seat of the Round Table… no. The White Cross—the Queen.”
In a conference room somewhere in the tower, Sally placed her hands on the table. "What does this mean?"
"Means nothing."
Bai Xing, sitting in the middle, said, "Because our organization needs someone to manage finances and the base."
"But I have my eye on Loulan."
"They also coveted this inexhaustible energy."
"This is a collaboration."
"Oh?" After Sally regained her health and freedom, her queenly aura instantly spread, and Nawaki and Guren, who were sitting on Shirahoshi's side, couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
"What's in it for me?"
"Or."
"What good will this do for the people of Loulan?"
"Safety, wealth, and power—all can be possessed," Bai Xing said with a smile, clenching her right fist.
"and."
"Those who become members of the ten seats of the White Cross can attain immortality."
"Eternal life?!"
A surprised voice came from Shirahoshi's side. Nawaki stood up in shock. Sally, sitting opposite him, glanced at Nawaki and couldn't help but say:
"Don't your comrades know about the benefits of joining the organization?"
"Oh. He's not a codenamed member."
"Just an experimental subject."
"Actually, uh... no, Dean, I've been cooperating with you perfectly. Shouldn't you give me a code name?"
Rope Tree rubbed his hands together, and a fawning voice immediately rang out. The girl behind the young man chuckled, making Rope Tree stiffen, and he felt that he seemed a bit pathetic.
"But Master, how come I didn't know that? Didn't you say I was a member of the codename 'Crush'?"
"You don't need it yet, we'll talk about it later."
"oh oh."
Then, Shirahoshi looked at Sally, who was deep in thought, and asked, "So? Is the Queen interested?"
“Immortality. I believe no one would be able to resist that. But even if I had immortality, I probably wouldn’t be able to protect myself, would I?” Sally said with a wry smile.
"so."
"Later I will teach you how to master the power of the dragon vein."
"As long as you're here on the dragon vein."
"You can use this power, just like Anlu... never mind, that guy is trash, but you'll definitely be at least ten times stronger than the guy next to me."
"?????"
“I see... That’s something I can consider. After all, my goal is simply to make the people of Loulan happy. But receiving the promise you made would be even better for me.”
Seeing that an agreement had been reached, Shirahoshi said, "Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate, Your Majesty."
"Speaking of which, I'm an internist, so what's the Queen? The hospital director?"
Bai Xing glanced at the talkative Hong Lian, and seeing Sally's questioning gaze, she forced herself to say:
"The treasurer of the White Cross—the Queen."
"Okay, stop asking."
Honglian pouted and exclaimed, "Oh, oh~"
"Pfft."
Sally covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that the man before her seemed to have grand ambitions, but they were on the path to peace. At least he wouldn't be like An Lushan, who, just as Loulan was starting to develop, began creating puppet weapons...
"So what are you planning to do next?" Rope Tree asked.
"Expand the economic activities of the ancient Loulan Kingdom."
"The inner city has secretly begun forming a guard force, equipping the guards with the ability to fight ninjas..."
"Oh, by the way, why don't you go and pick up Honglian's parents while you're at it?"
Rope Tree asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"
"Run? Go ahead. It doesn't matter if you leak secrets. Little Red Lotus and her family will be the first to die, followed by the Queen of Loulan and the entire ancient Loulan Kingdom."
"As long as you feel that doing this is in accordance with your Will of Fire, that's fine."
“…” Nawaki was silent for a moment, then finally said, “And what about you?”
"I?"
Bai Xing looked at Sheng Shu, whose face was stiff at the moment, and said in a light tone:
Do you know what I look like? What's my name? Where do I live? How many people are in my family?
"..."
Holy crap!!!
Rope Tree then realized that he seemed to know nothing about Shirahoshi, and that Honglian had said she had seen her master's face, but her master said that the face was fake and that she would only be able to see the real one when she grew up.
"You...you don't feel any pain? You won't save them? You're so powerful."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xing remained silent for a moment, glanced at Sally, then at Hong Lian, and finally at Nawaki, saying, "I don't owe them anything."
"instead."
"They owe me."
"Just asking."
"If I didn't save you and your families, would you hate me?"
"No. Honglian won't hate Master, she'll only hate Brother Shengshu!" Honglian gritted her teeth and looked at Shengshu, who looked completely innocent, thinking to himself that he was just making a assumption.
Sally nodded in agreement. She knew that Shirahoshi's plan would bring him no benefit whatsoever; the only possibility was that he genuinely wanted to bring peace to the world.
"me too."
