Li Tianyan and Zhao Shengyu looked up at the same time and saw Cheng Qi staggering to them on a flying sword. Cheng Qi was not particularly skilled in flying with a spiritual sword for the first time. When the flying sword passed over Li Tianyan’s head, Cheng Qi simply jumped down from the air.

Seeing Cheng Qi jump down like that, Li Tianyan’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately reached out to catch the falling person. He didn’t sigh in relief until Cheng Qi fell firmly into his arms. “When did you come out?”

“Just now. As soon as I came out, I asked Tan Eyu to take the women to settle in the Prince’s Mansion first, so I hurried over.” Cheng Qi was worried he would come too late and ruined Li Tianyan’s plan, but luckily, he caught up.

Speaking of the woman in the dungeon, the smile on Cheng Qi’s face disappeared. He pointed at the snake demon in the pool and said, “Young master, you must not let the snake demon go. She deserves to die.”

The snake demon saw the shuanger. When he appeared, she knew something was wrong. She tried her best to escape with all the demonic energy in her body, but a spiritual sword stabbed her back in the air. The wound penetrated into her heart. The snake demon’s vertical pupils gradually began to lose consciousness, and finally, she fell into the pool and became motionless.

Li Tianyan flicked his sleeves and the huge thing in the pool disappeared without a trace. Zhao Shengyu was shocked to the point of numbness. Not only was Li Tianyan’s method miraculous, but his wife could also fly with a sword. These two people were definitely not mortals.

“The matter is over, but the snake demon kidnapped many pregnant women before. These people are now in the prince’s mansion, so I hope the prince will deal with the aftermath.” Li Tianyan collected the body of the snake demon and looked at Zhao Shengyu.

Hearing aboue the pregnant woman, Zhao Shengyu subconsciously looked at Cheng Qi’s bulging belly, and finally understood why he pretended to be pregnant. However, after hearing the meaning in Li Tianyan’s words, Zhao Shengyu said with some reluctance, “Doctor Li, won’t you stay in the Prince’s Mansion for a few more days?”

“No, my wife and I have other things to do.” Li Tianyan shook his head and refused. Now that the snake demon had been eliminated, it was inconvenient for them to get too involved with the court affairs.

Zhao Shengyu knew that he could not keep him, so he could only watch the two of them leave and immediately rushed back to his mansion to deal with the follow-up matters. However, when he saw the reception hall of the Prince’s Mansion was filled with a group of pregnant women, he still couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

Zhao Shengyu’s personal bodyguards saw the prince coming back and hurried forward, saying, “Your Highness is finally back. These women are the pregnant women who recently disappeared in the capital and nearby towns. They said they were captured by Concubine Li and locked up in the palace dungeon.”

“Okay, verify the identities of these pregnant women and arrange for someone to send them back,” Zhao Shengyu said. He had already heard Li Tianyan mention it, and he was not too surprised at this time. But the snake demon did so many bad things under his nose and he didn’t notice it, now it was his responsibility to clean up the mess.

The snake demon seemed very young when she appeared a few years ago. If his father had not been alone for a long time and suffering from lack of companion, he would not allow the snake demon to take advantage of him. But his father was not vigilant enough, which led to today’s situation. Thinking of this, Zhao Shengyu’s eyes gradually became determined, and he would definitely not let the same thing happen again in the future.

“Your Highness, General Mu’s soldiers are outside the door.”

Hearing the voice of the guard at the door coming in to report, Zhao Shengyu came back to his senses. He was about to go to the door to take a look, but saw a savage with unkempt hair and a sloppy beard walking straight in. When the man came closer, Zhao Shengyu saw that his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, as if he had stayed up for several days and nights without sleeping.

“What are you…” Although the person in front of him could no longer be seen clearly, Zhao Shengyu still recognized who he was at a glance.

Thinking that Beimen Pass was far away from the capital, even if people didn’t eat or sleep, it would take at least three days to travel. Zhao Shengyu guessed that someone leaked the news about his cursed condition. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but turn to look at his personal bodyguard.

“Why don’t you tell me, am I, Mu Chijun, so untrustworthy in His Highness’s heart?” The man stared at him with red eyes and asked.

Zhao Shengyu suddenly laughed, “That’s not the case. On the contrary, General Mu is very important to me. Now that the evildoer has eliminated but Zidong Kingdom has been poisoned by the evil concubine for a long time, General Mu is still willing to help me organize the court. LetZidong Kingdom live in peace and prosperity.”

The only pair of eyes visible on Mu Chijun’s face suddenly shone frighteningly. He knelt down on one knee and solemnly replied, “Yes.”

.

A month later, the Emperor of the Zidong Kingdom died. The Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, and the new emperor made drastic changes as soon as he took office. Most of the court officials were detained for questioning. The imperial examination was reopened to recruit talented people, and all the brothels and gambling houses in the capital and various towns were closed down. The bad habits left over from the late emperor’s time were rectified at once, and the atmosphere of Zidong Kingdom was completely new.

The original hot spring villa was also built by Zhao Shengyu into a demon-subduing palace, Xianjun Palace. Two tall golden sculptures stood in the main hall. The two sculptures were plain and inconspicuous. The man on the left held a copper bell in one hand and a sword in another hand, looking majestic. On the right was a shuanger with flying swords under his feet, and his abdomen was swollen as if he was seven months pregnant.

Xianjun Palace was built by Zhao Shengyu for the two people who rescued Zidong Kingdom. It was not only to express gratitude to the two people for defeating the snake demon and eliminating the great trouble for Zidong Kingdom, but also to remind himself from time to time that there were people outside the world and there was a sky on top of the current sky.

The two immortals were believed in by the Holy One today. The people of Zidong Kingdom also followed the Holy One and built similar Xianjun Temple in various places. From then on, Xianjun Temple became popular and their sculpture became Zidong Kingdom’s protector, believed in by the people of the country.

Especially the shuanger, who was pregnant, was regarded as the patron saint of women and shuangers by the people of Zidong Kingdom. Furthermore, once a woman or shuanger in Zidong Kingdom was pregnant, they would go to the Xianjun Palace and ask the Immortal to come and protect the mother and child. It was said that a beautiful female would come over, she was the subordinate of the Immortal, and obeyed the Immortal’s instructions to protect pregnant people.

Of course, these were all stories for later.
