The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"You tell me, girl, how should we, the heretics, decide on the senior and junior sisters?"

"...Of course, it's based on strength!"

Emery gritted her teeth, remaining conscious despite the captivating voice, and pointed to the stunned female general who was still rubbing her leg, then said loudly:

"Isn't the purpose of this meeting to let me compete with her and see who is better? So let's just decide it by the result of the competition. The winner will be the senior sister, and the loser will be the junior sister!"

"Interesting, and quite capable, little girl."

The ghost bride seemed slightly surprised that Amelie hadn't lost herself in her voice, then looked at her disciple:

"What do you think of what she said, Xinyu?"

"...I have no objection."

The female general seemed to have finally come to her senses, and was now licking her lips, staring at Amelie with a gaze filled with a hunting and conquering desire:

"I will make my junior sister understand how cruel the world is. A delicate young lady like her should obediently accompany me in romantic matters, not in fighting and killing."

...This Empress?

The female general's self-proclaimed title, made in a slightly agitated state, surprised Amelie.

Although she had heard from the old lich that her opponent was of noble birth in Tianyun Kingdom, she never expected that he was a member of the royal family... Could he also be a princess?

My cousin is a princess, and now my junior sister is a princess too? Did I just stumble upon a princess's den?

Fortunately, after deciding that the two would start competing soon, they finally began the self-introduction segment that should have started at the beginning.

The main purpose was to have the female general and Emerald introduce themselves to each other.

Like the old lich, the ghost bride had long since abandoned her real name. When the old lich introduced herself to the female general, she still referred to herself as Ya, while the ghost bride referred to herself as Hongyi.

"Then shall I call you Granny in Red?"

Amélie tentatively asked this question.

"No, calling her 'grandma' is too old-fashioned."

The ghost bride immediately refused, and said with a coquettish laugh:

"Just call me Sister in Red~~"

"no!"

Then the old lich stepped forward and firmly refused, even shielding Amelie behind him:

"You're over 1000 years old, and you still have the nerve to let a little girl call you 'sister'? You wouldn't happen to have feelings for little Ellie, would you? Just because she's a junior in my family and looks a bit like me back then?"

"Oh? Xiaoya, are you jealous of your own apprentice? How cute~~"

The ghost bride laughed even harder and reached out to poke the old lich's bones.

"You're the one who's jealous! You're the one who's cute!"

The old lich seemed to have lost his composure, unable to maintain his powerful and mysterious image any longer, and began to bicker with the ghost bride under the midnight moonlight.

Amelie and the female general exchanged glances, then tacitly ignored the two old scoundrels flirting and began to introduce themselves.

Emery spoke first:

“Emerite Melson, from the Melson family of the Allen Federation, is currently doing some small business, which is to say, she monopolizes the art industry in one country.”

"So, junior sister, you're a cunning and shrewd businesswoman. No wonder you're so sly."

The female general smiled too. Her smile wasn't malicious, but it carried a kind of pride, the arrogance of a top noble facing a merchant.

After all, in the Tianyun Empire, the social hierarchy was that of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with merchants holding a far lower status than nobles.

After laughing, the female general introduced herself:

"Ji Xinyu, a member of the royal family of the Tianyun Empire, is the Princess of Dongge County and the commander of the Eastern Legion of the Empire, mainly responsible for suppressing and annihilating the demonic tide in the six eastern counties of the Empire."

"So you're Princess Dongge, Junior Sister. No wonder you can leave the country at will."

Amelie also scoffed, but then suddenly realized what was happening.

The old lich had told her that the Dao Enlightenment stage experts of the Immortal Sect were all bound by restrictions and could not leave the country without orders. Most of the Tianyun Empire's borders were also completely closed to the outside world, and foreigners who accidentally wandered in were likely to be killed by monsters on the spot by the locals.

However, the Dongge Mansion is an exception. Not only does the Dongge Mansion receive foreign tourists, but the powerful individuals within the mansion can also freely travel or cultivate without any restrictions.

Since Ji Xinyu is the Princess of Dongge, her father must be the King of Dongge, who is also the true master of the underground black market of the Tianyun Empire. Aimeite had just heard Fujiwara Momiji introduce her to him not long ago.

The two are roughly equal in strength and status, both are equally proud, and both want to be the senior sister.

So after a brief self-introduction, the conversation stalled... They couldn't have a normal chat until they had a proper competition to determine who was the senior and who was the junior.

Then there's nothing more to say, let's start the fight.

In any case, the most important purpose of this meeting between the two sides was to have a contest.

At this point, the flirtatious banter between the old witch Granny Ya and the ghost bride in red came to an end. Both of them told Amelie and Ji Xinyu to fight freely, and that they would be responsible for covering up the aftermath and atmosphere of the battle from the outside, so that no one could find out.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, junior sister."

Ji Xinyu laughed heartily, her fighting spirit surging. With a flick of her spear, she became one with it, transforming into a shooting star as she thrust towards Ameliete.

"I will use my fiery spear to pierce through your delicate and fragile body, junior sister, and let your consciousness melt in the heat and fullness, so that you will obediently call me senior sister!"

"...Do you know, junior sister?"

Amelie wasn't annoyed; she simply smiled and waved her hand, conjuring more than ten holy shields.

"The last small fry like you who was yelling and screaming is now serving as my chair."

Whoosh!

click!

Even as they were bickering, their actions didn't stop at all.

Ji Xinyu's spear was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye it pierced in front of Amelite, easily piercing through the 7 layers of holy shield like a newspaper shell, and continued to stab towards Amelite.

Emerald pushed forward with one hand, continuously generating and strengthening a shield while engaging in a struggle, and calmly took out a monocle with her left hand, putting it on her left eye.

Ji Xinyu stopped arguing and focused on unleashing a barrage of spear strikes in front of Amelite, determined to pierce Amelite's sacred shield and plunge her burning spear deep into her body.

Defense always consumes more magic power than attack. Although the two sides seem evenly matched now, it is clear that Emery is at a disadvantage. Her Holy Shield may hold for a long time, but given that her strength is similar to Ji Xinyu's, she will definitely lose in the end.

So for the two of them, the current situation is just a warm-up.

After using the Divine Shield to block Ji Xinyu's spear for about two minutes, Suzuran, seen through Emerald's monocle, completed the data collection on Ji Xinyu's melee movements.

When Ji Xinyu swings her spear again to thrust, Amelie's attack trajectory will appear in her field of vision about 700 milliseconds in advance, just like the red circle when a BOSS attacks in many action games in her previous life.

Suddenly, Emerald stopped maintaining her Holy Shield forcibly defending herself. Instead, she simultaneously produced a magic gun the size of a pistol in each of her hands. Then, she pushed off the ground, lowered her center of gravity, and lunged forward, actively closing the distance between herself and Ji Xinyu.

Just as Linglan had calculated, Ji Xinyu's spear grazed Emerald's body, causing Emerald to bump Ji Xinyu's stomach with her shoulder. Then, two magic guns, one aimed at Ji Xinyu's leg and the other pressed against Ji Xinyu's chin, fired without hesitation.

Boom!

boom!

The intense flames exploded on Ji Xinyu's body, but it was Amelie who flew out.

However, Emery wasn't injured. With a light flip in the air, she adjusted her posture and landed gracefully, a smug smile on her face.

"How was it, junior sister? My movement technique is pretty good, isn't it?"

As the flames from the explosion subsided, Ji Xinyu stared with some resentment, her chin noticeably red, and a hole appeared in her black stockings.

"Hmph, junior sister, don't be so smug... I was just careless, let's try again!"

The intense flames erupted once more, and Ji Xinyu charged forward again, her gun and rider becoming one, this time faster and stronger than before, every movement bathed in the flames.

"...Did he use some kind of fire-attribute magic to give himself all-around buffs?"

Emery immediately saw through Ji Xinyu's move and curled her lip in disdain:

"You dare to compare buffs with my holy magic? You're just a nobody. Well then, let me teach you a lesson!"

After saying that, she also charged towards Ji Xinyu with her twin guns in hand. During the charge, golden light flashed continuously around her as she used holy magic to stack buffs and boost her attributes.

Golden and red streaks of light collided rapidly in the darkness, beginning a fierce battle. The sounds of spears piercing the air and magic guns firing magic bullets filled the air, creating a constant whooshing and banging noise.

Objectively speaking, Ji Xinyu, who has the identity of a military general, is obviously stronger in close combat. However, her usual moves have been completely calculated by Linglan, making it seem as if her attacks have been completely seen through by Amelie. Every attack is cleverly dodged and counterattacked.

Amelie, like a gun-fu master from a movie in her past life, always managed to find an opportunity to get close and shoot at point-blank range amidst Ji Xinyu's ferocious attacks. The feeling of pressing a magic gun against the opponent's body before firing made her feel incredibly satisfied.

Unfortunately, Ji Xinyu was now completely enveloped in flames, so even point-blank shots could no longer pierce her black silk, let alone leave a mark on her body.

Even so, although Emerald's multiple shots did not cause any real damage, they were extremely insulting to Ji Xinyu. In particular, the mocking smile on Emerald's face every time the magic gun successfully hit at point-blank range made Ji Xinyu hallucinate that it was 'small fish'.

"...I really need to get serious, junior sister!"

Ji Xinyu's aura surged once more, and the flames emanating from her body did not dissipate but instead condensed into afterimages of flames around her, charging and attacking in sync with her movements.

"I can see that, junior sister."

While unleashing an even stronger and more ferocious thrust in conjunction with the afterimage of flames, Ji Xinyu laughed:

"You can see through my moves because of your rumored precognitive abilities, right? I admit your precognitive abilities are impressive, but your martial arts skills are really average, even mediocre. You only look decent because you rely on speed and reaction time... So how will you deal with my attacks when they exceed your speed and reaction time limits like they are now?"

As they spoke, Ji Xinyu's main spear and the spear of the fiery afterimage attacked together, creating a dense red line in Amelite's vision that was completely unavoidable.

Brush brush!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Despite Amelie's best efforts to dodge, she was inevitably struck by multiple spears. Her crimson gown was first pierced by the spear tips, and then the fabric was quickly burned away in the firelight.

"Hahahaha... Junior sister, you lost. Now let your senior sister pamper you properly... Huh?"

Just as Ji Xinyu was about to declare victory unilaterally, she discovered that Amelie, whose evening gown was torn and burning, did not reveal her fair and jade-like skin, but instead wore a very dazzling outfit.

Celestial Maiden, outfit change complete.

"Since you've shown your true skills, junior sister, then I, your senior sister, will also have to get a little more serious~~"

The spear thrust left no mark on Amelie, and she casually tossed aside the two magical guns in her hands. She was now pressing a finger to her lips, a sweet smile on her face.

"I'm just as good at increasing the number of my attacks, you know?"

By the time Ji Xinyu realized that she was already surrounded by dozens of pure white feathers, each of which emanated a considerable amount of magical energy, it was too late.

BIU BIU BIU BIU BIU!

Dozens of holy rays shot out like laser weapons from science fiction, weaving into a net in the area where Ji Xinyu stood, simultaneously striking all her fiery afterimages.

All of the Holy Magic's attack spells come with a dispel effect, so the afterimages of flames that were pierced through were naturally no match for it. They were like fireworks on a summer night, very dazzling and cool when they appeared, but they quickly went out and disappeared.

Even Ji Xinyu herself was hit by several holy rays at the same time. The indestructible flames on her body when facing the magic gun were easily torn apart like a veil once again.

The area protected by the crimson cloak and golden chainmail was unharmed; both pieces of equipment were clearly powerful defensive artifacts that couldn't be penetrated by the holy ray.

However, the black stockings on Ji Xinyu's legs were shot with many holes by Amelie, and even the hair clip on her head was shot off, leaving her long black hair hanging down.

"...Good! Good! Good! Junior sister is indeed a wealthy businesswoman, what a powerful magic weapon!"

Ji Xinyu was clearly exasperated, her breathing rapid and her chest heaving violently. For a few moments, Amelie even worried that the plates of her golden chainmail might be blown off.

"Equipment is also part of strength, and my Heavenly Wing Saintess is indeed the best!"

Emery didn't deny that her advantage was entirely due to her equipment's performance; instead, she flapped her wings and floated up, looking down at Ji Xinyu with a haughty air.

"Or... Junior Sister, you can't take a joke? No way... a member of the royal family of the mighty Tianyun Empire can't even afford a decent piece of equipment?"

"you……!"

Ji Xinyu was even angrier.

As the princess of the Tianyun Empire and the commander of the Eastern Legion, Ji Xinyu naturally possessed many magical treasures given to her by immortal sects and the royal family.

However, the Heavenly Wing Saintess's equipment is the most advanced in the world in terms of both craftsmanship and materials. It seems that Ji Xinyu has no equipment that can compare with it.

...No, there are still some.

Although the equipment didn't belong to her, and her unauthorized use was even a violation of military regulations, she was already a legion commander and a member of the royal family. So what if she violated military regulations? Did those military judges dare to cause her trouble?

"This is something you asked for, junior sister!"

Thinking of this, Ji Xinyu no longer hesitated and immediately used her strongest magic weapon.

That was the treasure of the Eastern Legion of the Tianyun Empire, which was only used in the past when fighting high-level demonic tides. But now Ji Xinyu was using it in a private duel.

"Wind and Thunder Drums, rise!"

Ji Xinyu summoned a small war drum, about the size of a palm. The small drum immediately grew larger and transformed into a stream of light, flying into the sky. Then, the awe-inspiring sound of the drum rang out.
