The First Genocide's Grudge

  "Mei'er, I'm sorry..." An Na said silently to Mei'er's back, saying countless apologies, suddenly hoping that day would never come.

  "You were entrusted to safely escort me to the Imperial City of Shangguo, but I have yet to enter the city. Your task is still incomplete, do you plan on giving up like this?" Mei'er couldn't help but turn her head and say as she didn't hear An'gang's footsteps following behind.

  "Being able to stay by a beauty's side, every extra moment is a blessing accumulated over a hundred years, how could I possibly give it up? If possible, I would be more than happy to stay by the beauty's side for a lifetime!" Covering up the complexity in that glance, he put on an enchanting smile and followed after.

  "A tiger's mouth can't produce ivory!" Mei'er gave him a white eye and continued to walk forward, asking the little fairy beside her: "Little fairy, everything went smoothly for you yesterday, didn't it?"

  Little Fairy's small mouth pouted, shaking her head: "Last night, we were ambushed by the black-clad men again. This time, it was the blue-clad man who saved us! You don't know, we almost fell off the cliff with our horses! Luckily, that blue-clad man's martial arts skills are exceptional, or else Little Fairy wouldn't be able to see you today!"

  She still has lingering fear in her heart thinking of last night's thrilling scene!

  "Then you come find me, Ling Feng?" Those black-clothed men's assassination target was her, Ling Feng disguised as her, danger naturally piled up.

  "Don't worry, Saintess, there's a Blue-robed person here, Big Brother Ling won't come to any harm!" It was clear that Little Immortal admired Shang Liuyun's skills, and it was an admiration that knew no bounds.

  As soon as she heard that Shang Liyou was also there, Mei'er's heart slightly calmed down. She deeply knew Shang Liyou's martial arts skills, but he wasn't a person who fought fiercely or brutally; otherwise, in the past, he wouldn't have given up the throne that was within his grasp for the sake of the common people and Wu Chen'er.

  "Saintly Girl!"

  Mei and her companions were on their way to Qingfeng Town when they coincidentally ran into Ling Feng.

  "Ling Feng? How did you get out?" Mei'er looked at him in confusion, his appearance making her want to purse her lips. Indeed, a big man with makeup on his face was already quite ridiculous, and the wedding attire made it even more hilarious.

  Ling Feng was embarrassed by Mei'er's laughter and touched the back of his head, then roughly told what happened after Xiao Xian left.

  "It's those killers again! Who is it that can't get along with my Mei'er and must kill me?! Mei'er heard this, and upon hearing that those killers were causing trouble again, her anger flared up."

  She didn't want to make enemies, but there were people who insisted on making trouble for her. Those people wanted to die, and she was happy to oblige. With a raised eyebrow, a thick killing intent had already appeared.

  "Saintess, if you go back now, those people will still be in Qingfeng Town. At that time..." Ling Feng and Xiao Xian both disapproved of Mei Er returning to Qingfeng Town at this moment.

  Mei'er stopped them from continuing: "The people from the Shang State who came to welcome us will arrive soon, if I don't show up, then the Shang State will definitely use this as an excuse to go to war with Western Xia, wouldn't that make me a sinner of Western Xia?"

  "But if you go to Qingfeng Town now, those killers won't let you off the hook. Why don't I go instead?" Ling Feng insisted on his own idea.

  Mei'er smiled and tilted her head: "Ling Feng, are you addicted to dressing up as a bride?"

  "I...". Ling Feng's face turned red with heat, and he awkwardly rubbed his head, unsure of where to put his hands and feet.

  Mei'er smiled and didn't tease him anymore, she said seriously: "It's time to estimate that the third prince's men should also arrive at Qingfeng Town to find us. At that time, with them there, those assassins who want to kill me will have some difficulty, once the merchants from Shangguo arrive, they won't have any chance again!"

  "It's about time, I think it's also time for the Saintess to regain her status!" An added from beside, who had been silent all along.

  "Finally said something right!" This stinky man rarely agreed with her, Mei'er turned back to Lingfeng and said: "Lingfeng, let's change clothes first!" Looking at the time, it was already late, Mei'er thought it was better to rush to Qingfeng Town to meet Xia Yuxuan first, and then they could switch clothes.

  "Your original set is still here, just put it on directly!" Anan said while taking down a package from the horse and throwing it to Mei'er.

  Mei'er took it over and opened it to take a look, and indeed it was the wedding dress she had worn. He hadn't even thrown it away. She looked at him with some gratitude, only to find that he was also looking at her, his eyes seeming somewhat strange.

  However, she didn't have time to guess his gaze, and hastily changed her clothes. Ling Feng also changed back into his usual attire, and everyone was about to leave.

  An beside said: "You go first, I still have something to do, after finishing it, I will go to Qingfeng Town to find you!"

  Mei'er didn't think he would really not follow them, Liu Mei's eyebrows immediately twisted into a line: "I haven't even arrived in Shang Guo yet, your task is still incomplete, do you really plan to withdraw at this time?"

  An's lips curled up slightly, as if smiling: "I told you, I won't let anything happen to you, so rest assured, you'll definitely arrive safely in Shangguo!"

  When he spoke, his eyes were extremely affirmative, as if everything was already in his grasp!

  "Fine! Go or not, it's up to you! Xiaoxian, Lingfeng, let's go!" Mei'er suddenly felt a little angry for some reason, turned her head and walked away stubbornly.

  What does he think he is? Does he think that without his protection she would be in trouble? She's a modern-day assassin, does she still need a man to protect her? What a joke!

  Xiao Xian and Ling Feng saw Mei Er with a sullen face, not daring to speak much. As they approached Qingfeng Town, Xiao Xian took out the silver needle that Mei Er usually carried: "Holy Girl, take this with you, just in case!"

  "I didn't think you still remembered, I thought you had forgotten to bring it!" Silver needles were also one of her skilled weapons, compared to the soft whip, silver needles were more effective, small in shape, easy to carry suddenly, and not easily detected by the enemy.

  "Saintly one's belongings, how could a little fairy dare to forget!" The little fairy had already determined that Mei'er was the master she would be loyal to for this lifetime, just like how she was loyal to the Fox Girl in the past.

  Mei'er put away the silver needle and Lingfeng took out a cover from his bosom: "Holy Maiden, this is for you!"

  "Oh! I almost forgot, this broken thing has to be worn until the moment of parting with heaven!" Mei'er said, putting the red veil on her own head.

  The three of them continued on their way towards Qingfeng Town ahead.

  By the way, Xia Yuxuan and others received an anonymous letter saying that the Holy Girl had arrived in Qingfeng Town. They rushed to Qingfeng Town immediately, but when they got there, they found out that the Holy Girl had been kidnapped!

  Just as I was getting anxious and flustered, Mei'er suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

  "Mei'er, are you alright?" Xia Yu Xuan hastily went forward to greet her. The Emperor had ordered him to personally escort Mei'er back, fortunately Mei'er was fine, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to return and report back to the Emperor.

  "Brother Yu Xuan, don't worry, I'm fine!" came Meier's crisp and lively reply from under the covers.

  Upon hearing this voice, Xia Yu Xuan suddenly let out a sigh of relief. This was indeed Mei Er's voice, and the doubts that had previously risen immediately subsided. He had been too suspicious!

  "Mei'er, go to the building first and rest for a while. When Shang Guo's people arrive, we'll set off again!" Xia Yuxuan ordered Xu Hongming to surround the entire inn with guards, then personally escorted Mei'er upstairs.

  The former Western Xia Sheng girl was familiar with the three sons of the Western Xia king. Except for the crown prince, Xia Hanxuan, who had a romantic relationship with Mei'er, the other two princes had a good relationship with the Holy Girl. Relatively speaking, the third prince, Xia Yuxuan, and the Holy Girl were similar in age, and the two got along well in their daily conversations.

  So, before pretending to be the Western Xia Holy Girl, Mei'er had already inquired about all of this and for those she didn't know, she used amnesia as an excuse, everything was seamless. Suspecting her identity!

  In this merchant country, Mei'er was even less afraid, anyway, there wasn't a single person here who knew the Saintess from before, so whatever she said would be what it is.

  After sitting down in the room, Mei'er took off her veil and asked: "Yi brother, do you know who was sent by the Shang Kingdom to welcome?"

  Xia Yuxuan said without hesitation: "I heard that the Emperor and Empress of Shang Guo attach great importance to this bilateral marriage, so they sent General Ye to welcome you!"

  "General Ye? Which General Ye?" As she asked this question, Mei'er's voice seemed to be trembling. Wouldn't that be a coincidence?

  Xia Yuxuan didn't notice these, thought for a moment, and replied: "This General Ye is said to be the older brother of the Empress Dowager of Shangguo, which makes him the elder uncle of the Emperor of Shangguo!"

  "It's really him!" Mei'er felt her blood boiling, the enemy who killed Wu Chen's parents was about to arrive, and her eyes suddenly became extremely ruthless!

  "Mei'er, what's wrong with you?" At this point, Xia Yuxuan also sensed Mei'er's abnormality.

  Mei'er tried to suppress her excitement, pretending nothing was wrong, shaking her head: "Yu Xuan brother, I'm fine, I'm just a bit tired, want to rest for a while!"

  "Alright, you've had a long journey, you must be tired. Take a rest and I'll come to call you when the people from Shangguo arrive!" Xia Yuxuan thought that Mei'er was a bit strange just now, but he thought she might really be exhausted and didn't suspect anything else.

  After Xia Yu Xuan left, Mei'er's hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist, she felt her blood filled with vengeful killing intent.

  "What's wrong, Holy Maiden?" The little fairy beside her was perplexed, bewildered by the Holy Maiden's sudden murderous intent.

  "The murderer of my parents is coming!" The flames of revenge were dancing in Mei'er's eyes.

  Xiao Xian exclaimed: "Holy Maiden, you're saying that General Ye is...". She unconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out in surprise.

  "That's right! It was he who killed my parents with his own hands back then. I will chop him into pieces and only then can I eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Mei'er's fists were clenched so tightly that they seemed to be squeezing out water.

  The hatred of killing one's father and mother cannot be shared under the same sky, how can she let Ye Tianming off?

  "But, Holy Maiden, if you kill him now, won't that expose your identity? How will you go back to avenge yourself against Shang Li Tian and the others then? A moment's impatience can ruin the entire plan!" At this critical juncture, Ling Feng was relatively calm.

  Ling Feng's words made Mei Er narrow her cold eyes, unexpectedly thinking that if she really killed Ye Tianming, then not only would she be unable to enter the imperial city, but also implicate the countless civilians of Western Xia.

  However, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red with anger; she's afraid that at some point she won't be able to hold back and will take action!

  The little fairy on the side also realized the severity of the situation and advised, "Holy Maiden, Brother Ling is right. Once we startle the snake in the grass, all our previous efforts will be wasted!"

  "Fine! Then I'll let Ye Tianming live for a few more days, and when the time comes, I must make him die a thousand times more miserably than my parents!" Wu Chen'er's hatred was all infused in this body, even if Mei'er came from modern times, what did it matter, she would still be affected by Wu Chen'er's resentment.

  Waiting is a very painful thing, let alone waiting to see an enemy. Mei'er stood in front of the window and took N deep breaths, but found that she still couldn't calm down. She was afraid that she would lose control of herself later.

  "Xiao Xian, wait a moment and stay by my side. If you find that I'm losing control of myself, then press my acupoints!" Outside started to get noisy, Mei'er knew it must be Ye Tianming and the others arriving. The raging fire in her heart was something she couldn't extinguish, so she had no choice but to instruct Xiao Xian like this.

  "Don't worry, Saintess, we're here, and your plan will definitely go smoothly!"

  Ling Feng and Xiao Xian both knew that their lives were now closely tied to Mei Er's, as long as Mei Er was safe, they would be too, but if anything happened to Mei Er, they would certainly not have a good ending.

  As expected, Xia Yuxuan followed and pushed the door in: "Mei'er, General Ye has arrived downstairs, are you ready?"

  Mei'er's hand tightened, forcing herself to calm down and look more natural. She nodded at Xiaoxian to put the red veil on her head and replied: "Brother Yuxuan, please invite General Ye to come up!"

  "Alright!" Xia Yu Xuan turned around and walked out, loudly saying: "The Holy Maiden requests General Ye's presence!"

  Following the steady and powerful footsteps coming from upstairs, Mei's hand that was hanging by her side also clenched into a fist, feeling her whole body tense up like a bowstring, she was about to see her enemy, that kind of feeling, she couldn't describe.

  The footsteps were getting closer and closer, each one hitting Miao's heart like a heavy hammer, making her fists clench tighter!

  "General Ye, sir!" came Xiu Yuan's voice from the doorway.

  "Third prince, you're working hard!"

  Ye Tianming's voice was like a devilish sound that entered Mei'er's ears, causing her whole body to jump up again. A surge of heat rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. At that moment, it seemed as if her mind had become a complete blank, leaving only two words: Revenge!

  It's him! It really is him! Three years had passed, a whole three years, and she heard that detestable voice again!

  "Ye Tianming has come to welcome the Holy Maiden on behalf of His Majesty! Please, Holy Maiden, let us depart!" The all-too-familiar voice came from the doorway, and Mei'er's hand unconsciously withdrew into her sleeve. The little fairy beside her hastily grasped her hand in secret.

  Taking a deep breath to calm herself: "Thank you, General Ye!" Little Fairy and the others were right, she couldn't let her momentary impulse ruin the entire revenge plan!

  With Xiaoxian's support, Mei'er lightly lifted her lotus steps and walked towards the door, step by step. Every step she took, she felt her heart trembling!

  The enemy's breath is right in front of her, through the red hood, Mei'er sees a man dressed in armor standing beside him with his head bowed, no mistake! It's him! That cruel face, she will never forget for the rest of her life!
