Protect Our Clan Leader

Yun Tiange rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with it.

Hide away, ignoring the life and death of her clan and subordinates? If she did that, even if she managed to survive, she would have no face to meet her fellow villagers in the Divine Martial World.

“How much longer can I hold on?” Yun Tiange adjusted her breath, trying hard to suppress the backlash of the Sacred Vein.

“If you rest well, there might still be hope to continue the fusion,” Artifact Spirit 996 said, “If you keep fighting as you did today, your Sacred Vein might explode due to the power conflict in six months, or maybe three.”

“The choice to fight isn’t up to me.” Yun Tiange sighed, “However, even though the Sacred Vein transplant failed, it has solved the current predicament. This way, managing until Shouzhe comes to support shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Actually, it’s a gain. After all, we’ve acquired the Sacred Image and Sacred Artifact. In time, our Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty will inevitably become the Sacred Dynasty of the Cold Moon.”

“Before you die, let me check your body,” Artifact Spirit 996 suggested.

“…”

Yun Tiange was stunned for a moment but eventually agreed. After all, she was indebted to Artifact Spirit 996.

In the following months, the furious Prince Shaman didn’t give up, launching attacks time and again.

And Yun Tiange, time and again, led her people in defense, resolutely preventing the enemy from entering the Subspace.

However, under these circumstances, her physical condition was getting worse with each battle.

She didn’t know how much longer she could suppress the backlash of the Sacred Vein, but could only give it her all, taking it one day at a time.

On this day.

She again thwarted an attack from the enemy.

Exhausted, as she was about to go back to rest, a guard stationed at the Moonlight Palace hurriedly reported: “Your Majesty, a message from the Immortal Palace has arrived, asking you to go immediately.”

The Immortal Palace?

Yun Tiange was elated and almost instantly understood.

Could it be that Shouzhe had come to aid?

Without further ado, she swiftly headed to the Moonlight Palace.

Within the bridge ship of the Moonlight Palace, she used the built-in secret communication artifact to finally contact the Immortal Palace.

From the artifact came the slightly chaotic and intermittent voice of Wang Shouzhe: “Hello, hello~ is this Your Majesty Muyun?”

“Shouzhe…”

Hearing that voice, Yun Tiange felt her eyes heat up, an urge to cry.

She said, slightly choking with emotion: “You finally came.”

“I finally got in touch with you~” Wang Shouzhe’s voice sounded a bit annoyed, “The Moonlight Palace is within the Little Heavenly Abode, separated by spatial barriers, making it hard to establish communications. We had to keep closing in and adjusting for the longest communication distance, and finally managed to connect.”

The communication artifact within the Moonlight Palace and the one in the Immortal Palace are part of the same system; as long as they are within a certain distance, they can communicate with each other.

But separated by a Subspace barrier, it’s tough to connect.

“…” Yun Tiange’s tears were stuck in her eyes, face full of astonishment, “You’ve been here for a while?”

“About a month or so.” Wang Shouzhe sighed, “To ensure capturing the green-skinned enemy completely, particularly preventing the green-skinned saint sovereign from escaping, I had Cai Youdao use the Hao Tian Eye to watch closely, planning to pin the green-skinned saint sovereign inside the Little Heavenly Abode once they broke in, trapping them like turtles in a jar.”

“Who would have thought you’d fight one battle after another, keeping the enemy outside the door… We couldn’t find the best opportunity to ambush.”

“Do I have any other choice?” Yun Tiange retorted, with a hint of grievance, “How was I supposed to know you were already here? You didn’t even send someone to communicate with us.”

As for that previous sense of being moved, it had already vanished into thin air.

“They surrounded you so tightly, how could I send someone in? Also, could you perhaps not be so reckless… hiding the Moonlight Palace so well that it’s hard to connect.”

“Reckless, you say… If I didn’t hide the Moonlight Palace properly and it got blown up, where would we escape to?”

“Alright, let’s not argue.” Wang Shouzhe’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, sighing, “Next time they attack, you act, draw that green-skinned saint sovereign into the relic of the Little Heavenly Abode.”

“Wait, how do I know you’re really Wang Shouzhe?” Yun Tiange suddenly said, “What if it’s the green-skinned saint sovereign who obtained intelligence through captives, trying to trick me?”

“Your Majesty, you’ve gotten smarter.”

“Hmm, I need you to prove you’re Wang Shouzhe.”

“The simplest method is to say a secret only we know. Oh yes, last time in the Sacred Domain, when we drank in the study alone, you mentioned that Sister Ruolan’s temper was too big, and if you had met me earlier, you’d definitely marry me. Did you forget?”

“…” Wang Shouzhe was silent for three breaths, “You knew Ruolan was by my side all along, didn’t you?”

“Hahaha~” Yun Tiange laughed heartily, “Who asked you to counter me as soon as you spoke, erasing all my feelings of being moved? Alright, I understand your plan now! Just watch what happens next~”

With that, Yun Tiange quickly cut off the communication, her mood lifting considerably.

Inside the Immortal Palace.

A large group of people looked at Wang Shouzhe with complicated expressions.

Liu Ruolan’s gaze seemed to drift as well.

Wang Shouzhe looked left and right, troubled on how to change the topic, suddenly spotting Wang Zongkun peeking in at the door with a watching expression.

Most importantly, this kid even wore little sunglasses, flanked by Dragon Crystal and Jade Kunfish on either side of him.

His expression suddenly hardened, and with authoritative fatherly force, he said: “Little Kunfish, come here.”

“What?”

Wang Zongkun’s round face showed bewilderment, and he walked over timidly.

“You rascal, you don’t study properly, still haven’t graduated from High Clan School.” Wang Shouzhe scolded, “Look at you, what have you become? Jing Jing, Jade Kunfish, you spoil him too much.”

“Wang Zongkun, how did you do in the last year-end exam? You’re at the bottom again, aren’t you?”

Wang Zongkun’s big, dark eyes widened instantly, his entire fish body stiffening as if struck by lightning.

Father, oh father, you throw your son under the bus to cover yourself? How shameless can you be? What did I do to deserve this?

Seeing Wang Zongkun’s pitiful look, Liu Ruolan slightly frowned, just about to speak, but Wang Shouzhe, with all seriousness, interrupted: “Dear wife, it’s not that your husband wants to criticize you. You spoil Little Kunfish too much… Never mind, it’s a father’s fault for not educating his child. I’ll have a word with Little Kunfish.”

Then, he lifted Wang Zongkun and flew out, spanking him as they went: “That’s for not studying properly! For wearing sunglasses like a delinquent! For hanging around with rouges! Why don’t you change your name to Wang Baoyu instead?”

“Wah wah~~ Dad, I’m wrong, I’ll never dare again.”

As Wang Shouzhe left, Wang Zongkun’s cries gradually faded, disappearing into the distant towering pavilions and jade buildings.

Jiang Mu Xian, serving by Liu Ruolan’s side, watched this scene, unable to stop her eyelids from twitching, barely holding her expression steady.

The young master is as clever as ever~
