The villain daughter did all kinds of things

The old lich tilted his head in confusion, then withdrew his claws with considerable regret.

"Alright then, I'll play with you, Ellie."

Then, without the old lich making any move, a large patch of black mist appeared out of thin air. When the sudden black mist quickly dissipated, there were 2000 skeleton soldiers on the ground.

Unlike the skeletons of Amelie, which looked almost like skeletal specimens, the old lich's skeletons looked much more ferocious.

Each skeleton soldier has thicker bones, and its body is surrounded by sharp bone spikes to increase its lethality when charging. Each skeleton soldier also carries a spear or axe as a weapon.

Two thousand of these skeletons can fight together and even form a respectable military formation, with each skeleton cooperating seamlessly with the others.

"Grandma's undead army is really powerful..."

Emerald first expressed her sincere admiration, but she didn't feel much envy, because she knew she would eventually reach that level, or even surpass it.

Seeing that the old lich had already released his legion, Amelie didn't hesitate either. She opened the undead space and released 2000 of the most ordinary skeleton soldiers.

"Pfft."

Ji Xinyu smiled as soon as she saw the contrast between the two armies' formations:

"Senior sister, how are you going to win? Putting aside the fact that your formation is completely amateurish, the difference in combat strength between the individual skeleton soldiers is too great. It's like a weak scholar fighting against elite soldiers."

"Then junior sister, you should open your eyes wide and watch carefully, because the moment to witness a miracle is about to begin."

Emerald simply snorted smugly, and under the curious gazes of the other three, she gathered holy magic power and snapped her fingers.

Snapped!

The holy blessing magic called "Holy Armament" was thus fairly bestowed upon each of Emerald's skeleton soldiers.

The other three people watching were somewhat shocked, and Ji Xinyu couldn't help but complain:

"Give the undead a holy buff? Senior sister, are you trying to admit defeat?"

But soon Ji Xinyu's mouth, which had been agape in her complaint, couldn't close again. The skeletons that should have been reduced to ashes in the holy light not only suffered no harm, but actually received the buffs of holy magic, becoming significantly stronger, and even acquiring longswords and shields.

Even the old lich couldn't help but blurt out:

"Wow, a Death Knight? What the hell is the point of fighting like this?!"

"Haha... Do you see that, Grandma? This is the new power I've gained!"

Amélie was very pleased with everyone's reaction and waved her hand triumphantly:

"Army attack!"

In terms of sheer numbers, even with buffs, Emery's skeletons are only about as strong as the old lich's skeletons, or even slightly weaker.

But for paladins of similar strength, fighting undead is a much more professional and effective strategy than a cat catching a mouse.

The old lich's skeleton soldiers' spears and axes couldn't penetrate the bone shields imbued with holy light in the hands of Amelie's skeleton soldiers. And no matter how thick the bones of the old lich's skeleton soldiers were, they were like paper in front of the bone swords imbued with holy light, and were cleaved into pieces one by one.

Even though Amelie hadn't studied military strategy much and knew nothing about army formations, and simply let the skeleton soldiers Xia Ji charge in, she still wiped out the old lich's skeleton soldiers like crushing minions.

"Haha, how is it, Mother-in-law?"

Emerald was so proud of herself that she almost couldn't resist sticking her butt out:

"Isn't my undead paladin powerful?"

"...After acquiring the Heart Rain talent, you not only gained the ability to use both holy and necromantic magic simultaneously, but you also granted your undead immunity to holy magic? Or has your holy magic become equally effective against the undead?"

The old lich paid no attention to Amelie's smug boasting, but immediately became very interested and began to study her, even grabbing Amelie and pulling her to his side:

"Stop talking nonsense and cooperate with me to study this properly."

"Yes, Mother-in-law."

Ameliette certainly wouldn't refuse; in fact, this was the main reason she came to the old lich to show off her results. She wanted to test whether her holy magic only worked on her own undead or on all undead equally.

The test was not complicated. With Hongyi and Ji Xinyu watching with great curiosity, the old lich and Amelie conducted several sets of control experiments and quickly came to a conclusion.

Amelie's divine blessing does not work equally on all the dead.

If Amelite were to use holy blessings or healing directly on the old lich's undead, then no matter how much she tried to control it, those spells would only harm the old lich's undead.

When the old lich transferred ownership of his undead mark to Amelite, Amelite directly used holy magic on the undead, but it still only caused damage to the undead.

However, as long as the undead whose ownership has been transferred is reduced to ashes and then repaired with Emerald's magic, the undead will no longer be harmed by holy magic and can be healed by holy magic—whether it is holy magic used by Emerald herself or holy magic used through her magical artifact, the undead will not be harmed.

Conversely, if Amelie transfers ownership of her undead mark to the old lich, the undead can initially be strengthened and healed by holy magic. However, if it is shattered and then repaired by the old lich with magic, it will be harmed by holy magic again.

So the truth is quite clear: whether an undead can be immune to the damage from Holy Light depends on whether it has been reshaped or repaired by Ameliete with magic.

After Amelie received Ji Xinyu's talent and transformed her own heart into magic, her necromancy underwent a strange change, becoming something entirely new.

This greatly intrigued the old lich and the red-clad woman, and they both collected numerous blood and magic samples from Amelie, intending to study them carefully.

After doing all this, Amelie hesitated for a moment before asking the Red Robe and the Old Lich if they had any other plans.

"What? Missing the girls around you?"

The woman in red first teased Amelie, then thought for a moment and said seriously:

"You can rest well today. Tomorrow, you can do one more thing for me, and then you and Xinyu can go about your own business. Let Xiaoya stay here and keep me company."

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing... Don't you have a collaborator who was murdered and whose soul was damaged? When you go to do my job tomorrow, I will also prepare everything you need to treat him."

"Okay, Aunt in red."

Amelie readily agreed.

Then, the woman in red continued to listen to music and play chess with the old lich, while Amelie and Ji Xinyu, being quite perceptive, left together and returned to their courtyard.

Ji Xinyu naturally invited Amelie to take a bath and chat together, and Amelie readily agreed.

Unlike the Federation, Xiangyun City's living facilities don't have various convenient magic circuits, but Ji Xinyu is an imperial princess and carries a special magical artifact for bathing.

It was a rectangular white jade bath. Before it was activated, it was only the size of a palm. After Ji Xinyu injected magic into it, it immediately became more than three meters long. The bath would quickly fill with circulating warm water, and bath liquid, milk and various flower petals could be added to the water as needed.

Without any hesitation, Amelie took off her formal gown and quickly joined Ji Xinyu in the white jade pool. She even touched Ji Xinyu's skin and pretentiously recited a line:

"The hot spring water is so smooth it washes away the grease."

"Oh? Not bad, senior sister."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xinyu raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"Although it's only one sentence, Senior Sister, you haven't been in the Eastern Continent for very long, have you? How come you can already compose such a sentence... And, um... Senior Sister, you're the one who truly embodies elegance!"

"Hmm?~~"

Emery let out a comfortable groan, offering no resistance, but quickly frowned slightly:

"Silly junior sister, your technique is terrible... Taking a bath is not flirting. You're far inferior to my personal maid junior sister."

"Tch, do you really think your technique is that good, Senior Sister?"

Ji Xinyu immediately retorted, clearly unconvinced:

"Hmm?... Although in some ways your technique is very good, you can't compare to the maids in my palace when it comes to bathing skills."

That's what they said, but in reality, they both understood that they missed the people around them a little.

After all, a princess or a young lady is used to being served. But during this time, she had to do everything herself. Over time, she would naturally miss the feeling of being served.

"Let's call it a day for now. We both have our own careers to attend to. Let's call it a day after we finish helping Aunt Red tomorrow. We can meet up again next spring... By then, the teleportation portal between Shangying Kingdom and the Federation will definitely be completed, making it much easier for me to visit my junior sister. Of course, you can also visit me in the Federation, and I'll show you what it's like to be an elf."

Emery was the first to make her point clear.

"Okay."

Ji Xinyu naturally had no objections, but she snorted defiantly:

"But who will be the senior sister next year is uncertain. Don't think you can keep winning."

Who knows what will happen next year?

Emery simply smiled at this, then reached out and hugged Ji Xinyu.

"After we finish helping Aunt Red tomorrow, it's hard to say if we'll have another chance to rest like this. Tonight might be our last night together this year... Shall we have a thrilling water magic duel, junior sister?"

"Of course I want it!"

Ji Xinyu immediately launched the first attack:

"Tonight I'm going to make you understand! My water magic is definitely superior to yours! A delicate young lady like you should just admit defeat! But no... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, how come your water magic is so powerful? How am I supposed to win? Oh, oh."

The waves in the white jade pool suddenly grew larger.

. . . . .

A few hours later.

After a multi-round battle, neither Emerald nor Ji Xinyu was in a hurry to come out of the White Jade Pool.

They lay on opposite sides of the white jade pool, their legs intertwined, letting the constantly circulating water wash away the traces of their previous battle.

"...Oh, right."

Emery suddenly remembered something and opened her half-closed eyes:

"Junior sister, you're a princess of the Tianyun Empire, so your connections there must be far stronger than those of a black market merchant from Shangying... Could you help me find someone?"

Without giving Ji Xinyu a chance to refuse, Amelie recounted all the details about Lian to Ji Xinyu.

"no problem."

Ji Xinyu agreed very readily:

"Tomorrow I will have the Netherworld Sect and people from my residence investigate together. Once we've finished helping our teacher and returned, we should have some results."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, junior sister."

Amelie gave a satisfied hum, then closed her half-open eyes again, continuing to enjoy the comfort of a post-bath bath.

Ji Xinyu, however, seemed to have suddenly thought of something interesting and took the initiative to come closer:

"Speaking of which... Senior Sister, do you still remember Ye Bufan, whom you helped me kill? Let me tell you something funny—his grandfather, Ye Lang, the Minister of War, wanted to send troops to capture you, this foreign demoness, but was ruthlessly rejected by the Empire and the Immortal Sect. In a fit of anger, he actually joined the resistance."

"Rebels?"

Emerald wasn’t interested in an eighty-year-old man, but the word “rebel” made her eyes widen instantly.

She was also clever enough not to ask what the rebels were rebelling against, but instead tried to recall the plot of the original game.

In the original game, Dao Zu suddenly did something big, becoming the enemy of the world and the final boss of the story. She was attacked by almost all the strong people of the Allen Federation, the Elf Clan, the Sea Clan, the Shangying Kingdom, and more than half of the strong people of the Tianyun Empire. It can be said that apart from Dao Zu's die-hard fans, no one stood on her side.

Among the powerful figures of the Tianyun Empire who participated in the campaign against Dao Ancestor, a large portion belonged to this mysterious resistance force... However, the original game barely touched upon the resistance, even glossing over their role in the final battle, leaving players completely unaware of the resistance's detailed information.

But Emerald had always been quite concerned about the resistance, and even considered whether to find a way to make contact with them in advance and cooperate.

Upon hearing Ji Xinyu mention the resistance army, Amelie naturally couldn't wait to ask:

"What kind of organization is this resistance? Junior sister, are you very familiar with them?"

"The rebels..."

Ji Xinyu thought for a moment and said:

"This organization was initially established by demonic cultivators who survived persecution by the immortal sects. Later, it absorbed many talented people who had suffered unfair treatment within the empire. Currently, the main goal of the resistance is to lie low and develop quietly, waiting for the right opportunity."

"Although everyone says that the Ancestor is eternal and immortal, what if... right? At that time, the Tianyun Empire will inevitably be in chaos, and the resistance army, which has accumulated strength for many years, will be able to rise up in the process."

"...Junior Sister, you actually know so much about the resistance?"

Amelie was even more surprised:

"You wouldn't happen to be a member of the resistance too, would you?"

"No, senior sister, you've got it backwards..."

Ji Xinyu's smile grew even more smug:

"It should be said that the resistance is my people... Didn't I say before? The resistance was founded by demonic cultivators who luckily escaped persecution from the immortal sects. And who else in the entire Eastern Continent could be such a powerful demonic cultivator besides my master?"

"Senior sister, the Netherworld Sect you're currently in is the core organization of the resistance. This place is actually the resistance's headquarters, hahaha... I'm the young master of the resistance."

"Uh……"

What a wonderful surprise! What does it mean to get something without any effort?

What was originally just a preliminary plan to cooperate with the resistance can now be developed into a more detailed scheme.

However, Emery was also somewhat speechless:

"But Junior Sister, aren't you a member of the royal family yourself? If you lead a resistance army... isn't that turning against yourself?"
