The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 218 The Witch Doctor Saintess
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiyue staggered back a step, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

"At all costs...including me..." Her expression was blank, she bit her lip hard, and her hands clenched into fists and trembled involuntarily.

Two days later, the seven-day period had arrived.

Outside White Moon City, large, fluffy snowflakes fluttered down.

The soldiers stood on the city wall, their eyes fixed on the approaching Chola army.

Mu Zhixing lowered her head, her emotions unreadable. Her snow-white fox fur coat accentuated her fair skin, and her long, flowing hair added a touch of poignant fragility.

Ye Jingnian, clad in black iron armor, followed behind her at a leisurely pace, a smug smile playing on his lips.

The Western Shu army was listless. Seven days had passed, and their third princess could finally return, but the second princess had to go away again...

One after another, when will it ever end...?

This time, the dates will be changed again...

A profound sense of humiliation welled up in everyone's hearts, and they dared not speak out against the black iron armor standing in the snow.

Mu Jiyue stood beneath the city wall, her eyes dark and unreadable. The once clever and lively Princess Qinxue was now silent, which drew sighs from everyone.

Ye Jingnian bent down, whispered in Mu Zhixing's ear, put his arm around her shoulders, and said in a low voice, "I'll bring back the people who bullied you. You should be safe in Western Shu now."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhixing was suddenly stunned, her heart touched, and her eyes reddened slightly: "Your Highness..."

Ye Jingnian straightened up, his gaze returning to its cold intensity, and made a gesture to the Western Shu general opposite him.

After the general responded with a gesture, he said to Mu Jiyue, "Princess, it's time to go."

Mu Jiyue's eyes were dark, and her loose hair concealed her emotions. She was escorted by two soldiers behind her as she slowly walked towards Zhu Luo's army formation.

As she brushed past Mu Zhixing, her crimson lips beneath her hair suddenly curled into a cold laugh, and she said, "Mu Zhixing, if you won't let me have an easy time, then none of us will live."

Mu Zhixing frowned alertly. Just as Mu Jiyue finished speaking, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder rumbled.

Before the two armies even clashed, Mu Jiyue pulled out the hairpin from her hair bun, pierced her palm with the tip, and then ripped off the moon-shaped jade pendant from her waist.

A dark purple light flashed in her eyes as she roared fiercely, "With my bloodline, I will sacrifice all the living Gu!"

A cloud of black mist surged wildly from her body, and a gale began to howl around her, with the snowflakes turning into icy blades that could cut with a single blow.

The black mist swept up the snow blades, condensing into a vortex in the air. With a flick of her finger, the black mist passed through her fingertip and attacked Mu Zhixing's direction.

Mu Zhixing's eyes widened suddenly. Before she could even chant a spell to defend herself, the black mist wrapped around her neck, causing her to gasp for breath and fall to the ground.

The girl struggled painfully, but could not break free at all.

She cut her palm with her fingertips, wrote a blood talisman in the air, and imprinted it on the black mist, emitting a golden light. The black mist let out a shrill shriek and then retreated.

Ye Jingnian suddenly flew into a rage, wielding his sword and slashing towards the direction of the black mist. The sharp blade whistled through the air, yet it pierced right through the black mist, which seemed to be lurking in the void.

"Mu Jiyue! You're asking for death!" Ye Jingnian gritted his teeth and glared at her angrily.

Mu Jiyue revealed a maniacal laugh, blood oozing from her seven orifices, her hoarse voice filled with determination: "Mu Zhixing, if you want me to go to hell, then I'll drag you down with me!"

She suddenly flicked her sleeve, and the black smoke abruptly receded, condensing into three black poisoned arrows that shot straight towards Mu Jiyue's heart. A dizzying sensation followed, and Ye Jingnian pulled Mu Zhixing's shoulder close, shielding her in his arms.

The arrow, tainted with poison, struck his back. The immense impact made Ye Jingnian grit his teeth and sway slightly.

"Your Highness!" Mu Zhixing's hoarse voice, tinged with sobs, pierced the sky. As she wrapped her arms around his waist and back, her fingertips touched a warm patch of blood.

Nightfall suddenly went black, and he fell to the ground feeling weightless.

Mu Jiyue scoffed disdainfully, her gaze shifting to Mu Zhixing. She reached for the poisoned arrow on Ye Jingnian's back, and the arrow, at her command, turned into a wisp of smoke and returned to her.

With a "crack," Mu Jiyue felt the moonlight jade pendant she was holding loosen slightly. She frowned and looked up, only to find that the jade pendant had suddenly cracked with spiderweb patterns and shattered into pieces on the snow with a few "crashes."

Deep within the hidden underground palace of the imperial palace, a tremendous tremor suddenly resounded.

Mu Chengqian, who had just finished court, noticed the direction and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"The Divine Stone!"

He hurriedly ran towards the underground palace, opened the palace gate, and saw a golden divine stone as tall as a person floating in the air, as if it were sensing something, and it was shaking constantly.

Platinum light emerged from the crevices of the divine stone, like a vast galaxy surging.

Outside the underground palace, all the officials held their breath in concentration. The Imperial Observatory suddenly sensed something, paused slightly, and then slowly knelt down, saying, "It is the Witchcraft Saintess summoning the divine stone, Your Majesty! Western Shu is saved!"

Mu Chengqian's expression faltered slightly: "Holy Maiden... Zhixing?" He looked up at the divine stone, knelt down, and said, "I beg the divine stone to grant the Holy Maiden divine power to save my Western Shu!"

On the other side, Mu Jiyue stared in disbelief at the shards on the ground, muttering, "How could this be..."

She glared at Mu Zhixing, who was sitting on the snow, sobbing and holding Ye Jingnian, and said with a fierce look in her eyes, "Was it you! Father said you are the Holy Maiden, it must be you who did this! For the sake of the Crown Prince of the enemy country, you actually didn't hesitate to harm your own sister!"

Her screams seemed to displease the black mist in the air, which slowly moved toward her, about to engulf her in the next moment.

"Ah!" she cried out in surprise, turning around to ask the Western Shu soldiers for help, only to find that in the snowstorm just now, she had indiscriminately killed all the Western Shu and Zhu Luo soldiers in front and behind her.

The black mist surged towards her, penetrating her body, instantly causing her veins to bulge, her eyes to turn bloodshot, and her appearance to become eerie and terrifying.

"No! No!" she cried, waving her hands towards Mu Zhixing. "Mu Zhixing! Save me! Save me!"

Mu Zhixing glared at her with red eyes. Now, even if she didn't take action, she would taste the consequences of her own actions.

The air suddenly froze for a moment, and the surrounding wind and snow suddenly quieted down.

The black mist that had been clinging to Mu Jiyue was drawn away and disappeared into the air.

A girl in a white dress descended from the sky, her beautiful face displaying a calm and composed demeanor, her slightly lowered eyes revealing compassion.

With a light touch of her toes, the girl landed quietly on the ground, and a circle of snow spread out from her feet.

Mu Jiyue slowly raised her eyes and saw that familiar face, her expression filled with disbelief: "Mu Hanxing? How could you..."

Upon hearing her name, Mu Zhixing reached out and grabbed the girl's skirt, saying, "Hanxing, please save His Highness..."

Mu Hanxing glanced at Ye Jingnian, who was deep in a coma, and said in a cold voice, "Okay."
