"Hum hum hum~"

Humming a cheerful tune, Ji Mo stepped out of the hall where the queen's private banquet was held. The ring on his hand shone slightly, and a folding fan fell into his hand, swaying gently.

Feng Ge had been eating for a while, after all, as a military commander, she needed to eat more to have strong waist strength.

No one had heard the whispered conversation between the two of them before.

Ji Mo looked around the exotic palace as if nothing had happened. The halls were connected to each other, each with its own unique design, with golden pillars surrounding the flower-filled pool and silver flowers filling the courtyard.

The decorations were also quite luxurious. The corridor where Ji Mo was located even had precious items that were difficult to find locally, such as the Tang Valley Sun Bathing Jade, the North Wilderness Star Mine, the Human Realm Cloud Silk, and the West Sea Night Fluorescent Ice.

Of course, for Ji Mo, the most rare sight was the occasional palace maids he could catch a glimpse of. Most of them were beautiful, but they moved quickly.

Following the laughter, Ji Mo quickly found the queen's bedroom and said outside:

"In this Kingdom of Women, the queen's bedroom is not guarded. Can anyone enter at will?"

He spoke in advance to indicate that he had arrived, so as not to cause any offense later.

However, after passing through a back wall with several "goddess" portraits hanging on it and walking past the screens on both sides, Ji Mo's eyes lit up at the sight before him.

The first thing he saw was the thick tree.

This ancient tree was of unknown age and was probably a rare species from the Great Wasteland. From the roots to the pink flowers on the crown, it looked like it was made of jade.

At this moment, the queen and her bear brother were swinging on two ten-foot-long swings under the tree.

The golden silk ribbon around the queen's body fluttered with her thick, long hair, and her laughter was clear and cheerful.

Every time she swung forward, her hair and ribbon fluttered backwards, and her slender legs stretched out, beautiful and unforgettable.

When she swung back, her hair and ribbon were slightly messy, but it was another kind of charm.

Even Wu Wang, who usually didn't laugh loudly, couldn't stop laughing.

This should have been a courtyard, surrounded by the outer walls of the palace on all sides. The queen had ordered people to hang colorful silk outside the wall and lay a layer of high wooden planks on the ground, and placed furniture such as a flower-filled pool, bookshelves, and beds, turning it into her bedroom.

Ji Mo sighed and laughed, "If it were raining, sitting under the tree or on the bed watching the rain would also be quite romantic...ahem, romantic."

The kingdom's master and Ling Xiaolan, who were sitting not far from the bookshelf in front of him, turned their heads to look at him.

The kingdom's master asked, "Why hasn't General Feng Ge come? She rarely returns to the capital in recent years, and Her Majesty misses her very much."

"She's still eating," Ji Mo curled his lips, "Your Kingdom of Women's general really has no feminine tenderness."The national teacher showed a gentle smile, and the mature and intelligent national teacher raised his eyebrows slightly at Ji Mo.

Ji Mo stopped and took a half step back.

The national teacher said softly, "Come and sit, Master Ji."

"I, I'll stand."

Ji Mo arched his hand and tried to stand calmly on the side, with his right hand behind his back, trying to regain his composure in the Human Realm.

Ling Xiaolan looked at the national teacher and Ji Mo strangely, then looked at Wu Wang and the queen, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

"Mom, can I swing for a while?"

"Silly child, will you dirty your clothes if you fall? You will go to the Mysterious Female Sect to practice when you are twelve years old. You should read more books and practice more scriptures now, so that you can stand out among your peers in the future."

"Ling Fairy," the national teacher said in a warm voice, "I haven't had a chance to ask yet. Besides sending the medicine formula, why did you come to the Kingdom of Women?"

"Oh?"

The national teacher was a little surprised, "The Human Realm is far away from our Kingdom of Women. How did you know that there will be a rebellion here? And what kind of rebellion can happen in our Kingdom of Women?"

"I don't know the specifics."

Ling Xiaolan thought for a moment, "Many senior experts are good at divination. Perhaps they saw that there will be chaos here through the hexagrams."

The national teacher's expression immediately became serious, whispering:

"Emperor Fuxi deduced the innate Eight Trigrams, and the Book of Changes has endless magical powers. The divination of the Human Realm cannot be underestimated... Is something really going to happen here? This doesn't make sense. His Majesty is diligent in politics, civil and military affairs are harmonious, and the borders are peaceful with the protection of the barrier."

Ling Xiaolan looked at the men and women over there who were laughing and joking...

Redefinition: Diligent in politics.

Ji Mo suddenly laughed, "If Brother Xiong of the Bear Hug Clan can marry the queen of the West Wilderness, it would also be a good story."

"Oh?"

The national teacher's eyes lit up, looking at Wu Wang and the queen, showing a gentle smile and sighed, "If this can happen, His Majesty's life will be complete. However, if this marriage really happens, won't they have to live apart?"

"Right, I didn't think it through."

Ji Mo smiled and unknowingly changed the topic.

The two on the other side had already floated down from the swing. The queen whispered, "God Envoy, do you want to see my private collection?"

Wu Wang smiled, "Why don't we invite Master Ji and Fairy Ling to come together?"

"Okay," the queen turned her head and looked over here, waving and shouting, "Do you all want to come over?"

Ling Xiaolan was about to take a step forward, but suddenly a figure flew in front of her, it was Ji Mo."Ji Mo said loudly, 'Ling Fairy said she wants to play chess with the national teacher, so we'll play around here.'

Wu Wang glared at Ji Mo, who had turned around and kept making eye gestures towards Ling Xiaolan.

Ling Xiaolan snorted and sat back in the wide chair with the cushion, her expression behind the veil showing a hint of indifference.

'Let's go,' the national lord called lightly from the side, and Wu Wang followed him leisurely.

What's the point of this Ji Mo's blind assistance?

The so-called private collection was not something like gold and silver jewelry or small clothes' inner linings, but something unexpectedly serious - a somewhat hidden secret room, inside of which several wooden racks were filled with various treasures.

The crystal ball that Wu Wang gave to the queen last night was placed in the corner of a wooden rack, and there was a small tag underneath with the word 'bear' written on it.

Wu Wang was a prince, so he would not be dazzled by treasures, and he could also tell the origin and allusions of some of the treasures. He improvised a few stories on the spot, making the peach blossom eyes of the Kingdom of Women's national lord shine with bright light.

While enjoying the treasures here, Wu Wang did not forget about the main task - finding the rebels.

He asked first, 'It seems that the Kingdom of Women has not completely cut off contact with the outside world.'

'Of course, we cannot cut off contact,' the queen said softly. 'Only the national teacher and I know about this matter. There are some people outside who are responsible for purchasing.'

'Silkworm raising, weaving, farming, construction - these are all learned from the Human Realm, or sent by the Human Realm.'

Wu Wang asked again, 'What did the Kingdom of Women give to the Human Realm?'

'Nothing was given.'

The queen tilted her head slightly, her voice like a bush warbler's low chirping:

'In fact, at the beginning, it was the immortals of the Human Realm who took the initiative to help us, passing on to us writing, books, and music, and respecting our choices without disturbing the peace here.

These ancient books have clear records and are also a required course for the national lord before ascending the throne.

When the war between the Human Realm and the gods ceased, many cultivators came out of the Human Realm and traveled around the Great Wasteland.

If any human tribes were enslaved in some places, they would take action to rescue them and bring those human tribes back to the Human Realm.

I remember seeing a wandering cultivator from the Human Realm who came with some medicinal recipes and carried a flag with the Eight Trigrams and wore a dirty robe when I was young. He gave us the medicinal recipes and left on his own.

At that time, there was an epidemic in the area, and he really helped a lot.'

Wu Wang nodded slowly.

He actually had a clue - the problem was not with the Human Realm itself, but with certain high-level decision-makers in the Human Realm at present.

And one of the main reasons for these problems was that the successor to the Human Emperor had not been determined, causing instability and giving birth to demons.

'Have you been to the Human Realm, Your Majesty?'

'No, being the national lord means having to do many things every day, so I can't go at all,' she said with a bit of frustration, puffing out her cheeks. ""And they're all trivial matters that could be easily settled through discussion, yet they insist on having me listen, ask questions, and watch before giving my approval.

I even want to write on their faces."

Wu Wang almost laughed out loud.

The Bear Hug Clan didn't have to deal with this. Their clan leader would ride his wolf around and settle down wherever the scenery was good.

After enjoying his private collection and perusing his books, the national teacher voluntarily brought over the mythological scriptures of the Kingdom of Women for Wu Wang to study.

Wu Wang eagerly began reading, while the queen quietly slipped away to change into a warm yellow dress before returning to naturally join in the discussion with Wu Wang and the national teacher.

Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan exchanged a glance and continued their game of chess in the corner using their qi.

"Ling Fairy seems a bit distracted. This game is full of danger," Ji Mo said.

"It's just a bit noisy," Ling Xiaolan calmly replied, glancing at Ji Mo with her almond-shaped eyes and transmitting her voice. "Did you meet with the one seeking help?"

"I did," Ji Mo transmitted back. "Will Fairy help me?"

Ling Xiaolan fell silent for a moment, her fingers lightly sliding across the board as she made her moves.

"I have my own judgment. This is a trial between the two of us. Ji Dao You, do not try to interfere... I will stand on the side of reason."

"Then I can rest assured," Ji Mo said with a bright smile, but it was met with Ling Xiaolan's undisguised disdain.

"Why can't you learn from Brother Xiong?" she said.

"Learn what?"

"His gaze," Ling Xiaolan looked towards Wu Wang and whispered, "It's clear and without any impure thoughts, and his smile is very natural. He has a natural affinity with others."

Ji Mo couldn't help but cover his face with his hand. "Natural... How can I learn that?"

Ling Xiaolan's eyes held a hint of amusement as she focused on the chessboard.

Ji Mo raised an eyebrow. This ice-cold and pure fairy, who was the focus of attention among the younger generation of the Human Realm, seemed to be... in love? Maybe, possibly... with Brother Xiong?

Does Brother Xiong have that much charm?

Ji Mo turned his head and saw Wu Wang and the queen of the Kingdom of Women happily talking, but for some reason, he felt a faint hazy light around Brother Xiong, making him seem less real.

Who is Brother Xiong, really? Why does he feel like Ji Mo doesn't know him at all?

"Ling Fairy," Ji Mo whispered, "What do you think Brother Xiong's personality is like?"

Ling Xiaolan was puzzled and asked, "Specifically?"

"Like your coldness, or my tenderness towards beauty. If you had to summarize Brother Xiong with one word, what would it be?"

"That's difficult," Ling Xiaolan thought for a moment. "I don't know."

Ji Mo leaned forward and transmitted his voice, "I don't know either, but I have a way to make Brother Xiong let down his guard.""As the saying goes, alcohol gives courage to the timid. Every time I go to the flower house, I drink a little bit of wine... Ahem, that's not important.

Ling Fairy, do you have any wine prepared?

Let's secretly inform the monarch and the national teacher later and try to get Brother Xiong drunk together. Let's see if he can let down his guard and show his true feelings in front of us.

But Ling Fairy might be disappointed..."

"What am I disappointed about?"

Ling Xiaolan snorted lightly, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. "I'll go get the wine, you go transmit the voice."

The two agreed and split up, adding a small "drinking game" to the grand banquet that had been planned beforehand.

However, Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan clearly underestimated Wu Wang's drinking capacity.

After drinking two pots of wine from the Kingdom of Women at the banquet for the female officials, Wu Wang's face remained unchanged, and he was no different from Ji Mo and Ling Xiaolan, who hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol.

This made Ji Mo break out in a cold sweat and feel a little discouraged.

The real drinking game was yet to come.

In the queen's bedroom, under the jade tree, the monarch, the national teacher, the grand general, and Wu Wang, Ji Mo, and Ling Xiaolan sat facing each other.

Ji Mo brought out the fine wine from the Human Realm, the queen brought out the rare celestial wine from her collection, and Wu Wang brought out the strong wine from the North Wilderness.

"Let's make it clear, drinking is allowed."

Wu Wang said seriously, "If you can't hold it, go to the designated area to sleep. We all cherish our reputation and don't want any stories to spread."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the national teacher even gave Ji Mo a slight wink.

Obviously, the national teacher's goal had become very clear.

Wu Wang casually opened a wine jar and said, "If you want to drink our North Wilderness wine, you must use a big bowl! Come on!"

The atmosphere became lively!

Ji Mo took a deep breath and secretly catalyzed the two hangover pills he had swallowed earlier with his mana. He showed a little confidence in his eyes.

However, the style of this drinking game was gradually becoming strange...

"Your Majesty, for someone like the national teacher who only drinks half a cup when he toasts, we usually say... 'Are you saving it to feed the fish?'"

The queen blinked her bright eyes and scolded the national teacher, "Are you saving it to feed the fish?"

The national teacher quickly drank up his wine with a helpless expression.

Soon, Wu Wang started a mini-lesson, and the queen quickly learned how to coax people into drinking, launching a synchronized attack with Wu Wang.

"Brother Ji, if you have deep feelings, drink it all in one go! If you have shallow feelings, just take a sip!"

"Okay, okay, I'll drink it all in one go..."

"With an excited heart and trembling hands, I'll pour a cup of wine for the grand general. If the grand general doesn't drink it, he thinks I'm ugly!"

"Your Majesty, I'll drink it, I'll drink it."

"Cheers, let's connect our feelings with an electric shock. Ling Fairy, cheers."

"Mm~"

They didn't know how long they had been drinking, or how much they had drunk. They kept drinking until Ji Mo fell to the ground and couldn't get up, Ling Xiaolan forgot to lay down a mat and lay down on the table, and the national teacher and Feng Ge slept in each other's arms, snoring loudly.The queen looked at Wu Wang with a blush on her face and whispered, "Xiong, can you stay with me for a few more days?"

"Sure," Wu Wang nodded. "I was going to say goodbye today, but a few more days won't hurt."

He stood up and gracefully leaped to the side. "Shall I perform a sword dance for you?"

The queen nodded but then curled up and closed her eyes.

Wu Wang was about to take out his beautiful Starry Sky Sword when he shook his head and smiled, admiring the queen's sleeping form.

If only he didn't have this strange illness, things would be much better...

Something was wrong.

Wu Wang narrowed his eyes, swayed, and quickly took a few steps back. He was blocked by a tree root and fell down.

Something was wrong with the drink.

He took a deep breath, and a thick layer of ice armor appeared around him. He held his breath and circulated his inner energy, lowering his head in the ice armor.

The sleeping quarters were completely quiet.

After a while, Ji Mo slowly got up from the ground and bowed deeply to Wu Wang in the ice armor, looking apologetic.

Then, Ji Mo flicked two pills into Ling Xiaolan and Feng Ge's mouths, and the two slowly opened their eyes.

Clang!

Ling Xiaolan's face was cold, and she held a long sword, pointing it at Ji Mo. "Explain."

"Ling Fairy, I had no choice but to deceive Brother Xiong. He is smarter than both of us, and I had to resort to this plan. I will explain everything later. If I mean any harm to Ling Fairy, I won't give her the antidote!" Ji Mo sighed and another figure appeared beside him, Feng Ge, who held a spear.

Ling Xiaolan immediately understood the situation and said calmly, "Why do you think he won't help you?"

"I trust Brother Xiong, but he is the young master of the North Wilderness tribe. He may consider things from the perspective of the king." Ji Mo explained.

Ling Xiaolan looked at herself and trembled, her breathing becoming rapid, but she tried to suppress her emotions.

"Is this a righteous act?" she asked.

"It is a righteous act, and I guarantee it in the name of the Ji family," Ji Mo replied.

"Feng Ge, don't delay any longer. Once Ling Fairy knows the secret here, she will help us," he added.

Feng Ge nodded, inserted her spear into the ground, and walked to the side of the queen of the Kingdom of Women. She picked her up, laid her on the bed, covered her with a thin blanket, and tucked her in.

Feng Ge turned around, leaped onto the top of a palace roof, and gazed at the quiet capital.

...

Half a day ago, after the noon banquet, they were the only ones left in the hall.

"General Feng Ge, you summoned me and Ling Fairy here. Your message said everything was ready, and we can't wait here for too long," Ji Mo said."Something has gone wrong here, and I must return to the Human Realm as soon as possible to remedy the situation. Otherwise, my Ji family will bear an undeserved infamy."

"Why doesn't the Human Realm even send immortals?"

"Ling Xianzi and I are enough. Although there are no immortals, there are immortal treasures."

"How can I trust you?"

"You must trust," Ji Mo said indifferently, "We are the only ones you can rely on. I have a life-saving talisman on me, which can summon my grandmother's incarnation in case of a life-and-death crisis."

"Then, let it be tonight."

Let it be tonight.

Let it be tonight!

This boundary country that shouldn't exist!

This twisted Kingdom of Women!

Feng Ge took a gentle breath, closed her eyes, her short eyebrows relaxed and then immediately furrowed again. The night wind blew through her armor, blowing her tied-up long hair.

Opening her eyes, only determination remained in those phoenix eyes. She threw a shuttle into the air with a backhand, setting off a sky full of flames.

"Imperial Guards, listen up! Seal the palace immediately! Activate the great array! We rise up tonight!"

In the sleeping palace, under the tree, Wu Wang's eyes slowly opened a crack within his ice armor...
