His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

"Saving you is something I have to do."

After Feng Xingyu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Mo Sangyu, who reached out and pinched his chin: "Good boy."

Then, he looked at Ya Zi and said, "Your injuries haven't healed yet. Go back and rest."

"Yes."

Ya Zi's eyes darkened, and he bowed his head respectfully: "This servant takes his leave."

Chu Tianxiong also left.

The two of them were left in the room.

Mo Sangyu removed the mask from Feng Xing's face.

For two days and two nights straight, he traveled at the limit of his true energy, and upon arrival, he immediately plunged into battle, then stayed by her side for an entire night...

Although his face was cleaned very well under the mask, the bloodshot eyes and the weariness between his brows showed that he was exhausted.

Even an iron body can't withstand such abuse.

"Come with me."

She pulled Feng Xingyu to the bedside and pressed him down to sit: "Your task today is to sleep."

Feng Xingyu pulled her into his arms, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He leaned close to her ear, his breath warm, and said, "Ayu wants me to sleep with you? I couldn't be more happy."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Mo Sangyu raised her hand to press against his chest, pushing him away slightly, her face stern: "Don't try to seduce me, it won't work."

"...Ayu."

"I'm saying, you're alone, go to sleep! Hurry up, lie down properly, you haven't slept for days, don't you have any self-awareness?"

Feng Xingyu held her tightly, saying, "I don't want to sleep alone. You'll stay with me."

That's so persistent.

During this time, they stayed together day and night, committing murder and arson, eating and sleeping together, and they still haven't had enough of each other.

"Is it good?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng Xingyu buried his head in her neck and nuzzled her, his voice low and deliberately soft.

He had figured out Mo Sangyu perfectly; he knew she only responded to this kind of thing.

"…Um."

Sure enough, Mo Sangyu's heart softened as he rubbed against her, her tense expression relaxed, and she responded softly.

Having succeeded, Feng Xingyu immediately took advantage of the situation and pulled her down onto the bed. He wrapped his long arm around her, holding her tightly in his embrace, rested his chin on the top of her head, and sighed contentedly, "Sleep like this."

Mo Sangyu was held in a tight embrace like a pillow. She tried to break free but failed, so she just let him be.

Hearing the even, deep breathing coming from above his head, he knew he was truly exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep so quickly.

She nestled quietly in his arms, his fresh and pleasant scent lingering in her nostrils, feeling the steady heartbeat from his chest, and her heart calmed down as well.

She lay with him for a long time before quietly getting out of bed, walking to the soft couch not far away, and sitting cross-legged.

Sixty percent of my spiritual power is far from enough to handle another unexpected and critical situation like this.

She needs to speed up the recovery of her spiritual energy.

Mo Sangyu closed his eyes, his thoughts sinking into his soul.

She can now control the size of the crack in the seal within her soul, and can completely seal it off or unlock it.

She widened the crack, allowing even more powerful spiritual energy within her soul to surge into her body more quickly.

Feng Xingyu was awakened by a strange fluctuation.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room.

When I woke up, it was already night outside.

In the dim candlelight, he immediately spotted Mo Sangyu sitting cross-legged on the soft couch.

A faint blue spiritual energy swirled around her.

Her eyes were closed, her expression calm, as if she had entered a deep state of meditation.

The spiritual energy emanating from her was powerful and unfamiliar, carrying a kind of oppressive aura that made him feel a slight unease.

Ah Yu... what are you doing?

She's getting stronger?!

Upon realizing this, Feng Xingyu was shaken.

He quickly got up and got out of bed, slowly walked to the soft couch, and fixed his gaze on her.

How many secrets is Ah Yu still hiding?

Her spiritual power seemed inexhaustible, and it was already clearly perceptible that it was much stronger than before.

If this continues, even he might not be a match for them.

Feng Xingyu crouched down slightly, quietly watching over her and guarding her, not daring to disturb her in the slightest.

Sudden.

Without warning, Mo Sangyu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Her tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, a flash of pain and fierceness crossing them.

At the same time, she immediately sealed off the seal within her soul.

Seventy percent!

Having only recovered 70% of his spiritual power, he had already reached the limit that his body could withstand.

Mo Sangyu raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her breathing was a little disordered, but her eyes had regained their clarity and calmness.

However, all of this nearly caused Feng Xingyu's heart to stop.

"Ayu!"

He steadied her, his voice filled with undisguised shock and panic: "What happened? What just happened?"

"don’t worry."

Seeing that he seemed genuinely frightened, Mo Sangyu reached out and patted his head, softening her voice: "It's alright now."

How could Feng Xingyu not be worried?

Why would someone suddenly vomit blood?

The key question is, isn't there a soul contract? Ayu coughed up blood, why didn't he feel anything at all?

"Ayu, is the soul contract still intact?"

Feng Xingyu forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still filled with a hint of panic and unease.

His biggest worry and fear was that the soul contract would disappear.

This was the closest connection between him and Mo Sangyu; if it were severed…

Feng Xingyu was panicked.

"Um."

Mo Sangyu was unaware of Feng Xingyu's thoughts and nodded to explain, "The soul contract is still intact, so don't worry. My injury wasn't caused by external factors, but by an excess of spiritual energy. It didn't cause any substantial damage to my body."

Of course, it was because she sealed it in time that no serious damage was caused.

If there is no way to make this body stronger in the future, I'm afraid the spiritual power in my soul will have to be permanently sealed away, otherwise I will suffer the same fate as in my previous life and die.

Upon hearing that the soul contract was still intact, Feng Xingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was still worried and sent someone to fetch the army doctor.

Luo Ming is already on his way.

The Iron River Kingdom also has many capable generals, but if you want to keep them with confidence, the old rule still applies: drink the Loyalty Potion, and you can avoid all unnecessary suspicion and trouble.

After the military doctor examined Mo Sangyu and confirmed that she was indeed alright, Feng Xingyu finally felt relieved.

It was dawn the next day.

Han Xiao and Lu Jin arrived with their elite vanguard and waited outside for Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu's instructions.

After being frightened away, the allied forces of the three countries remained stationed a hundred miles away, seemingly not having completely given up the idea of ​​attacking.

"Right now, we've suffered heavy casualties, and the city's defenses are unstable. Dragging this out will only be detrimental to us," Mo Sangyu said.

Feng Xingyu nodded: "We can't let them realize what's happening."

As for Ayu's volley of arrows, though terrifying, it could only be fired twice. If they recklessly attacked the city, the Tiehe border could very well be breached.

"so."

Mo Sangyu and Feng Xingyu exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they made their next plan.

"Lu Jinhanxiao, you will lead men to raid the camp tonight. The primary objective is to burn the supplies."

Of the 300,000 troops, only 200,000 remain. Without supplies, they have no choice but to retreat.

"Secondly, if we have the chance, we should kill their generals. We should kill as many as we can, but we should focus on burning their supplies. Safety first."

Upon hearing Mo Sangyu's order, Han Xiao and Lu Jin exchanged a glance, both seeing the eagerness in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, Madam!"

Han Xiao patted his chest and said, "Our vanguard has five thousand men, all of them are skilled fighters. Their weapons and armor are all made of black iron. A night raid to burn their supplies will be a piece of cake."

Lu Jin calmly replied, "I will go and make preparations immediately."

That night, five thousand vanguard troops quietly left the city and, under the cover of darkness, pounced on the allied camp a hundred miles away like wild wolves.

They moved swiftly and coordinated perfectly, first eliminating the scouts on the perimeter, then splitting into several groups and heading straight for the area in the camp where provisions were stored.

The oil was poured on the rocket, which ignited it, and flames shot into the sky in an instant.

In the chaos, Han Xiao led his men into the central army and took advantage of the confusion to kill a general commanding troops of the Night Wolf Kingdom.

The allied forces were already in shock, and with their supplies burned and their generals killed, they were in complete chaos and unable to organize an effective counterattack.

Having achieved his goal, Lu Jin did not linger in battle and immediately gave the signal for his five thousand men to quickly withdraw and disappear into the night.

Before dawn, the good news reached the city.

The scouts arrived the following afternoon.

The allied forces of the three countries, stationed a hundred miles away, had already broken camp and retreated in panic, heading back to their respective borders.

"Well done!"

Mo Sangyu praised without reservation: "Tell Mr. Gu to give Han Xiao and Lu Jin credit for their contributions."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Han Xiao and Lu Jin immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Mo Sangyu raised her hand to signal Han Xiao and Lu Jin to stand up, then turned her gaze to Feng Xingyu, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light: "They've retreated, but the feud isn't over yet."

Feng Xingyu immediately understood her meaning: "You want to press your advantage?"

"right."

Mo Sangyu nodded: "With the general of the Night Wolf Kingdom killed, the morale of the army is at its lowest. This is the best time to finish them off. What I want is not to drive them away, but to completely take down the Night Wolf Kingdom army."

She looked at Han Xiao and Lu Jin: "What are the casualties of your vanguard team?"

"Reporting to Madam, during last night's attack on the camp, we suffered 73 lightly wounded and 12 seriously wounded, with no casualties," Lu Jin reported.

"very good."

Mo Sangyu continued, "Set off immediately and catch up with the retreating Night Wolf Kingdom. There's no need for a direct confrontation. Harass along the way, utilizing your mobility and equipment advantages. Kill those who resist! Capture all those who surrender and take them as prisoners of war."

"I will use their heads and labor to pay for the blood debt they owe."

Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Madam is brilliant! Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!"

Lu Jin understood that this was a golden opportunity to expand the victory and completely crush the country, so he immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your subordinate obeys, and will certainly not fail the lady's trust!"

"Go," Mo Sangyu waved his hand. "Be quick."

Han Xiao and Lu Jin accepted the order, turned around and strode away, quickly assembled the vanguard that was still able to fight, replenished their arrows and rations, opened the city gates, and sped off in the direction the Night Wolf Kingdom had retreated.

Feng Xingyu walked to Mo Sangyu's side, looking at the fighting spirit dancing in her eyes, his brows and eyes full of admiration.

An army in desperation is not guaranteed to win, but a defeated army is certain to lose.

His Ayu also knew military strategy.

Even after knowing him for so long, I can still surprise him... constantly.
