Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Later, this Queen Yingtian mobilized an army of 300,000 to attempt to take control of the Central Plains.

For this reason, she even went so far as to poison Yelü Abaoji, with whom she had shared a bed for many years.

It can be said that he was extremely ruthless.

"Is that old geezer planning to leave Shuliduo to Li Xingyun?"

Qin Chuan could only think of this one possibility.

Shuliduo's ambitions were not yet exposed at this time, but they could not be hidden from Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang, however, chose to ignore it.

That means they could only have wanted to keep her around to set up a trap for Li Xingyun.

"They really went to great lengths."

Qin Chuan shook his head.

Yuan Tiangang even made arrangements for Li Xingyun after his death.

Bow down and die.

This quote, originating from Zhuge Liang's "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops," is the best description of him.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Having figured all this out, Qin Chuan temporarily suppressed his murderous intent towards Shuliduo.

In the future, he will personally lead a large army to conquer the northern desert and shatter Shuliduo's delusions.

With a swift movement, Qin Chuan roared towards the depths of the northern desert.

Before long, he arrived at an oasis.

Qin Chuan let out a soft exclamation, seeing the corpses of gray wolves along the way.

These gray wolves were all killed with a single blow, indicating that they were killed by the same person.

"His swordsmanship was chaotic and disorganized; he was just hacking around wildly with sheer brute force..."

Qin Chuan took another closer look and shook his head with some disappointment.

This person was not a master of swordsmanship, which was somewhat disappointing to him.

"But since I've run into this..."

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

He showed no mercy to the experts from the northern desert.

Killing one more now will reduce the losses in the Central Plains when fighting the Northern Desert in the future.

Qin Chuan pressed his hand against the moon in the well, and strode forward, following the trail of gray wolf corpses, in search of the expert from the northern desert.

Soon after, a figure came into his view.

It turned out to be a little girl holding a curved knife, only about four or five years old, much younger than Li Xingyun at this time!

It's hard to imagine that such a little girl, all by herself and with just a knife, could kill so many gray wolves.

"Yelü Zhiwu?"

Qin Chuan frowned.

Such an extraordinary little girl could only be the future pinnacle of combat power in the northern desert, Aoguyelu Zhiwu.

Yelü Zhiwu was the eldest daughter of Yelü Abaoji and Shuliduo. She was born with superhuman strength and was raised by Shuliduo as a fighting tool from a young age.

"Shuliduo is indeed ruthless!"

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows.

What mother in the world could bear to leave her young daughter to face a pack of wolves alone?

Only Shuliduo.

Such inhumanity truly disgusted him.

Qin Chuan drew the Well Moon sword from his waist, its blade flashing, and the dozens of gray wolves surrounding Yelü Zhiwu instantly whimpered and died.

Although Yelü Zhiwu will be the 'Number One in the Northern Desert' in the future, he ultimately finds it difficult to harm such a young child.

However, he could not allow Yelü Zhiwu to grow into a major enemy of the Central Plains.

Since Shuliduo was training Yelü Zhiwu as a pure fighting tool, he ruined her plan, allowing Yelü Zhiwu's personality to become less twisted and to find more meaning in life!

"Mother...Mother Empress!"

Yelü Zhiwu watched as the pack of wolves died, and thought it was his mother who had arrived.

Overjoyed, she burst into tears and turned to look at Qin Chuan.

"You are not the Empress Dowager!"

Upon seeing that the person was not Shuliduo, Yelü Zhiwu quickly wiped away her tears.

Her mother had told her to wipe away her tears and not let anyone see them.

Yelü Zhiwu tried desperately to wipe away her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed, mixing with wolf blood and making a mess of her little face.

No matter how gifted she is, she is only five years old at this time, and her mind is still very fragile.

Overwhelmed by alternating joy and sorrow, she could no longer control her tears.

"Cry if you want to. Tears are never a sign of weakness, but an expression of courage."

Qin Chuan approached Yelü Zhiwu and slowly said:

"At least, you dare to face your true feelings and accept your vulnerability and imperfections."

"Mother...that's not what you said..."

Yelü Zhiwu burst into tears and shook her head desperately.

"Don't listen to her, she doesn't know anything."

Qin Chuan chuckled and, amidst Yelü Zhiwu's cries, lit a bonfire and roasted the big gray wolf over charcoal.

Once Yelü Zhiwu's crying subsided, Qin Chuan roasted the wolf meat until it smelled delicious, then tore off a wolf leg and handed it to her.

Because Qin Chuan had spoken rudely to Shuliduo earlier, the little girl was still angry with him and turned her face away, pretending not to see it.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the hunger in his stomach and began to eat wolf meat in large bites.

She ate her food as usual, and remained sullen as ever. Her chubby little face was especially adorable.

After eating a wolf's leg, her anger subsided considerably.

She thanked Qin Chuan politely.

Yelü Zhiwu's way of thinking was very simple; she thought that Qin Chuan must be a good person to have invited her to eat.

"Little sister, your extraordinary physique makes you a martial arts prodigy, one in a million. The task of maintaining world peace rests on your shoulders."

Qin Chuan began to con the young girl with a straight face:

"I have a connection with you; how about I take you as my disciple?"

"If you become my apprentice, can you learn the sword technique I just saw?"

Yelü Zhiwu was somewhat tempted.

Under Shuliduo's influence, she has shown signs of becoming a martial arts fanatic.

Qin Chuan's strike that killed the pack of wolves was so stunning that it left a deep impression on her.

"of course can."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly.

As a stranger, it was almost impossible for him to change Yelü Zhiwu's distorted perception of Shuliduo.

But if he becomes Yelü Zhiwu's teacher, that would be a completely different story.

Master, Master, is like a teacher and a father. In this day and age, he is comparable to a father.

In the original timeline, Li Xingyun was able to awaken after falling into demonic possession due to the influence of his master, Yang Shuzi, while practicing the Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art.

This shows how important a master is to a person.

Yelü Zhiwu blinked her big eyes and hesitated:

"We still need to ask the Empress Dowager."

"Your mother..."

Qin Chuan suddenly looked into the distance, his voice slightly cold:

"She's here."

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves rang out.

Under Qin Chuan's indifferent gaze, a troop of Khitan cavalry galloped towards them.

The two riders at the head of the group were a richly dressed couple.

Qin Chuan stared at the beautiful woman dressed in a mink purple dress, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

This is Shuliduo.

The man beside her, dressed in a brocade robe and with a rugged face, was Yelü Abaoji.

Although they were still quite far apart, Qin Chuan, with his superior hearing at the Great Celestial level, could still vaguely hear their conversation.

"Zhiwu is only five years old! How could you be so heartless!"

Yelü Abaoji looked distressed and was very dissatisfied with Shuliduo.

She actually took advantage of her absence to send her daughter out into the wild to face a pack of wolves, calling it "training"!

"She will become the number one in the northern desert in the future, and this is something she must go through."

Shulido did not think she had done anything wrong.
