His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

Seeing that Mo Sangyu was ignoring him and seemed lost in thought, Chu Canglan asked again, "Miss Mo, do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

Mo Sangyu turned to look at him and asked, "Regretting letting you seal your meridians? You're overthinking it."

"..."

Chu Canglan choked for a moment.

Mo Sangyu's gaze returned to the stone gate, his eyes narrowing slightly.

If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then let's try another method.

She raised her hands, palms facing each other, and spiritual energy rapidly gathered.

"Heaven and earth create all things!"

As she spoke, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

The next instant, she held a huge, strangely shaped weapon in her hand.

The front end is a large, high-speed rotating disc covered with serrated edges.

Its size has been magnified several times.

It was a diamond saw blade... a chainsaw, that she conjured with her spiritual power!

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Chu Canglan's face.

What... what kind of weapon is this?

Mo Sangyu gripped the chainsaw with both hands and infused it with spiritual power.

The rotating serrated disc emitted a ghostly blue light, and the buzzing sound suddenly rose in pitch, becoming extremely sharp and piercing.

She stepped forward and pressed the rapidly spinning serrated blade against the heavy stone door.

"Sizzle...crunch..."

A series of sharp, cutting and rubbing sounds echoed throughout the space, completely drowning out all other sounds around them.

Sparks and stone dust flew wildly from the point of contact. Under this violent cutting force, the special hard stone of the stone gate was plowed with a deep groove, just like a hot knife cutting into butter.

Mo Sangyu gripped the chainsaw firmly and moved it slowly along the edge of the stone gate.

Pebbles flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

She actually managed to cut open that thick stone door inch by inch in such an unbelievable way.

Just as Feng Xingyu was anxiously waiting outside the door, wondering how to open the damned stone door, an incomprehensible, piercing noise suddenly entered his ears.

He paused, looking at the stone gate with surprise and uncertainty.

Before long, he saw a faint blue light shining from the center of the stone gate.

Immediately, the heavy stone door slowly cracked and shattered along with the light.

Boom!

A large stone doorway tilted inward, instantly creating an opening large enough for one person to pass through.

Feng Xingyu peered inside through the billowing smoke and dust.

The first thing that catches the eye is Mo Sangyu's unharmed figure.

The strangely shaped, blindingly blue weapon in her hand, which was still buzzing, slowly stopped spinning, and its light dimmed, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing from her hand.

It was as if it had never existed.

When Feng Xingyu saw this scene, he could not hide his astonishment.

What is that thing that can cut open such a stone door?

Chu Canglan, standing inside the doorway, was completely dumbfounded and stood frozen in place.

He watched as Mo Sangyu conjured that strange weapon out of thin air, and then watched as it vanished into thin air.

This woman... just who is she?

Mo Sangyu dusted off her hands and stepped out through the broken doorway.

She had just taken a step when a figure flashed before her eyes, and she was tightly embraced by an embrace that reeked of blood.

Feng Xingyu's arms tightened around her, with such force that he almost wanted to meld her into his body.

His breathing was rapid, and Mo Sangyu could feel his heart pounding wildly.

She paused slightly, then gently patted his back: "I'm fine."

Feng Xingyu calmed himself down, hugged her for a few more moments, and then slowly let go of her.

He knew, of course, that she was alright.

But for some reason, when she was trapped inside and couldn't find a way to open the stone door, he panicked.

"And you?"

Mo Sangyu frowned as she looked at the mottled bloodstains on his body.

"It's alright."

Feng Xingyu shook his head, his voice regaining its usual composure: "This blood is not mine."

He turned to the side, avoiding eye contact.

People were lying haphazardly all over the stone steps.

They were all guards from the city lord's mansion, some wounded, some maimed, and some dead, their cries of agony filling the air, no longer able to fight.

Yan Xu lay face up in a corner not far away, his chest a bloody mess, his breath faint.

He was clearly seriously injured and was unconscious.

When Chu Canglan came out and saw this scene, his expression slightly hardened.

His gaze fell on Feng Xingyu, and his previous guesses had come true.

"The seventh prince of the Great You Dynasty, what a fine hobby! Disguised as his wife's servant, the couple have come to my Youdu City... with ill intentions!"

Mo Sangyu and Feng Xingyu were not surprised to hear this.

If you still can't guess it, then something really is wrong.

Chu Canglan then turned his gaze to Mo Sangyu: "Seventh Prince's Consort, with such an obedient husband, no wonder you look down on my position as the City Lord's wife."

"Lord Chu."

Mo Sangyu ignored his words and got straight to the point: "Don't forget our deal. I hope to see your sincerity immediately."

"rest assured."

Chu Canglan took the lead and walked up the stone steps: "I, Chu, keep my word. I'll go and make the arrangements now."

"What deal did you make with him?"

After Chu Canglan had walked away, Feng Xingyu grabbed Mo Sangyu's arm and asked anxiously, "What did you promise him?"

"Let's leave here first, and talk as we go."

Mo Sangyu touched his palm with her fingers, signaling him to relax.

on the way back.

She told Feng Xingyu everything.

Feng Xingyu has been through so much with her, yet he still finds that he still doesn't fully understand her.

What is it that she can't do?

At this moment, Feng Xingyu suddenly felt that all the suffering and misfortune he had endured in his life was to accumulate that little bit of luck so that he could meet Mo Sangyu.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Feng Xingyu staring straight at her without blinking, which was a bit intimidating, Mo Sangyu gently nudged him: "Hurry up and clean yourself up, change your clothes, and prepare to welcome our troops into the city."

"Do you really believe he would willingly hand over Youdu City?"

Do you think I would misjudge someone?

"…Won't."

Feng Xingyu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually, you had the opportunity to kill him, but why..."

Mo Sangyu was never a soft-hearted person.

Feng Xingyu was well aware of this.

Therefore, there must be another hidden story behind this.

"Want to know?"

Mo Sangyu smiled at him and said, "Besides wanting to use him to quickly retake Youdu City, there are indeed other reasons why I helped him."

"Um?"

Feng Xingyu was very interested: "Tell me about it."

This time, it was Mo Sangyu's turn to remain silent for a while.

She couldn't tell Feng Xingyu these two reasons.

First, it was because when Silver Moon's soul was extracted, her memories were seen.

Yinyue is a very kind girl.

And, we come from the same world.

They were all transmigrated to this strange world, and were considered fellow countrymen.

The city of Youdu was actually created by Yinyue. Her original intention was to give girls with dreams and ambitions an opportunity to showcase their talents, since she felt that life was too difficult for women in ancient times.

It also provides a safe haven for girls who are driven to desperation by life.

Mo Sangyu had no reason not to save such a person.

The second reason.

It was because of Chu Canglan's sincere feelings for Yin Yue.

Regardless of Chu Canglan's character, for the sake of Yin Yue, he was willing to seal his meridians, put himself in danger, and give up his rights and dignity.

She always felt that sincerity was the least reliable thing.

True love is utter nonsense.

She only believes in the moment, in the present, but never in the lifetime.

But she suddenly had a different thought about Chu Canglan.

Perhaps, true love truly exists in this world that will never disappear or change?

To test whether Chu Canglan's love for Yin Yue could remain faithful and steadfast for a lifetime, she chose to revive Yin Yue.

If she can't, she'll kill him!

"What's wrong?"

Feng Xingyu reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes: "What's the reason that you need to think about it for so long?"

"I was moved by Chu Canglan's genuine feelings and wanted to help this loving couple."

After Mo Sangyu finished speaking, she turned around, pushed open the door, found some clean clothes, and threw them to Feng Xingyu: "Go and take care of yourself quickly, you smell too bad."

It smelled entirely of blood.

Feng Xingyu's attention was successfully diverted. He lowered his head, sniffed himself, grabbed his clothes, and quickly left the room.

Mo Sangyu also tidied herself up briefly and changed into a new dress.

By the time Feng Xingyu returned, it was already dawn.

"Go and signal Mr. Gu that they can come over, but they still need to be careful to stay hidden and not let others discover their identities."

"Um."

Before leaving, Feng Xingyu reached out and touched her hair gently, but his gaze was different from usual, carrying a burning focus and possessiveness.

It was full of aggression.

Mo Sangyu froze for a moment, but before she could speak, Feng Xingyu had already turned and left.

After he left, Mo Sangyu didn't think too much about it.

We still need to find out about the situation in the manor.

Chu Canglan acted faster than she had imagined, showing genuine sincerity.

He issued an order to seal off the city for seven days.

All outsiders were cleared out of the city, and all residents and vendors on the streets were to close their shops and cease operations for the next seven days, and were not allowed to leave their homes.

Finally, notify all Red Armor Guards, law enforcers, and all sentries within the city, including the wounded from the City Lord's Mansion, to assemble in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

After completing all this, Chu Canglan found Mo Sangyu and asked her to conduct a handover ceremony.

"A handover ceremony?"

Mo Sangyu looked at him in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

"Abdicate and hand over the throne to a worthy successor. I want to put these forces in the city into your hands and have them acknowledge you as their master."

"No, wait a minute."

Mo Sangyu pondered for a moment: "You mean, you're going to leave these people to me as well?"

"Yes, don't you want these people?"

Chu Canglan looked at Mo Sangyu, and his face once again showed that gentle smile that revealed a sense of superiority.

"Although the total number of troops in my Youdu City is only over ten thousand, their combat strength is probably not much worse than your husband's one hundred thousand troops."

That's what I meant.

Mo Sangyu did admit it.

"Alright, since Lord Chu is willing to give them up, I will respectfully accept. However, once you have given me your people, you can no longer interfere with how you deal with them."

"That's natural."

Chu Canglan gestured for them to proceed: "Let's go then. Everyone's here. Let's proceed with the handover ceremony now."

"Did Silvermoon teach you this handover ceremony?"
