Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “So fast?”
Qiao Yang puffed out his chest proudly. “Without the help of the wild beasts, they weren’t as powerful as we thought. In addition, we were prepared and had the treasures that Madam Su gave us. We blew them into smithereens in an instant.”
Su Ying suddenly realized that the grenades she had left behind had played a crucial role.
“How are the casualties?”
“We’re counting them now, but compared to us, the other party is in a worse state. They’re all dead.”
Su Ying nodded. “It’s good that you guys are alright. I’ll go take a look elsewhere. You take care of the injured first.”
“Hey, Madam Su, you’re also injured. Why don’t you let me treat your injuries first?”
Su Ying shook her head. “No need. I can handle it myself. You can go.” After saying that, she rode on the tiger and left without looking back.
“Hey, Madam Su…”
Su Ying was still a little worried, so she went home first.
Just as she reached home, she saw Zhao Neng and the others standing guard outside. When those people saw Su Ying return, a hint of joy appeared on their faces. “Mistress is back.”
Su Ying jumped off the tiger. “Mm-hmm. Is everything alright at home?”
“Mistress, don’t worry. Everything is fine.”
Su Ying nodded. “I’ll go check on the children.”
After Su Ying entered the courtyard, she was worried that her appearance would scare the children, so she went to the backyard to wash her face. After washing away the blood on her face, she returned to the house and took off her bloodstained robe. She entered the interspatial store and performed some simple treatments on her wounds before coming out and changing into a clean cotton dress.
Aunt Zhao and the others were busy in the kitchen when they saw Su Ying coming out of the house. They all went up to her in joyous surprise.
“Thank heavens, thank heavens! Mistress is finally back.”
“Mother is back!”
The older toddler Ji and the younger toddler Ling, who were on the second floor, heard the commotion and ran out as well. Without a word, they threw themselves into Su Ying’s arms.
“Mother, you’re finally back. 1 was worried sick,” Ling cried out.
Su Ying squatted down and picked both of them up, planting a big kiss each on their faces.
“Do you miss Mother?”
Ling hugged Su Ying’s neck and said, “Miss! Miss a lot!”
Ji also leaned against Su Ying docilely. “Mother, you’re injured. Does it hurt?”
As Ji looked at the wound on Su Ying’s forehead, his tiny face was filled with worry.
Su Ying pinched his tiny face and said, “It hurts. Will you blow on it for Mother?”
The two little ones puffed up their faces and blew at her wound a few times.
“Alright. Mother doesn’t feel the pain anymore. There are still many things outside that 1 have to go and deal with. You guys stay at home obediently and wait for Mother to come back, understand?”
The two little fellows held onto Su Ying’s hands reluctantly. Mother had just returned and was about to leave again.
“Mother, can you not leave?”
Su Ying also wanted to spend some time with them, but it was chaotic everywhere, and there were some things that needed to be done.
“Ling, let go quickly. Mother has important matters to attend to. You can’t delay Mother’s matters.” The older toddler Ji grabbed Ling’s hand sensibly.
Ling pursed her lips reluctantly, but she was a good kid and did not cry.
Aunt Zhao held their hands and said gently, “Be good. Mistress will be back soon.”
“Yes. Mother will be back soon. Go play first. Mother will come back to accompany you guys later.” After Su Ying finished speaking, she turned around and left the house.
“Where’s Xiao Jin?”
“Master is at the main gate.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
When Su Ying arrived at the gate, Xiao Jin was also leading people to treat the injured and repair the damaged gate.
“Xiao Jin.”
Xiao Jin looked down from the gate wall when he heard a voice. Upon seeing that it was Su Ying, he turned around and came down from the wall.
Su Ying saw that he was covered in blood and subconsciously frowned. “You’re injured?”
At the same time that Su Ying was looking at him, Xiao Jin’s gaze also fell on her. When he saw that her forehead was only bandaged simply with a cloth, his expression turned unpleasant. He pulled her to a small room by the gate straightaway and made her sit down.
“So crude.”
Although Xiao Jin’s mouth voiced his unhappiness, his hands were gently helping her treat the wound on her forehead.
When he saw that the wound was as wide as a thumb, Xiao Jin’s frown deepened.
“What’s the situation over there? How did you get injured?”
“Nothing much. I just had a fight. There was an empress there. She’s the person who ruled over them, but I’ve already taken her down.”
Su Ying briefly explained the situation at the palace to Xiao Jin.
“You fought all of them alone?”
Xiao Jin’s expression darkened even more after hearing her words. Although she had briefly mentioned the process of the fight, he could imagine how intense the situation at that time was. However, it was not convenient for him to check the injuries on her body here.
“Are there any injuries on your body that are more serious than the one on your forehead?”
Su Ying shook her head. “No.” If she had, she would have dealt with it herself. There was no need for him to get involved!
“After you have settled the things here, follow me to that place to take a look.”
Xiao Jin nodded. Although they had killed those Sky Alpha Cult members, Xiao Jin’s side had also suffered many casualties. They would not be able to take care of everyone in a short time.
Su Ying wasn’t worried that the Sky Alpha Cult members would do anything. They were just a bunch of puppets that had been raised by force, so she wasn’t in a hurry to return.
After helping everyone take care of the injured, Su Ying returned home with Xiao Jin.
Not long after that, Tiger Might and the others also arrived. When they learned that Su Ying had returned from the Sky Alpha Cult’s lair, they wanted to understand the situation there at once so that they could come up with more countermeasures.
After everyone sat down in the hall, Su Ying briefly explained the situation at the palace to everyone.
“Mistress, what you mean is, those Sky Alpha Cult members are no longer a threat to us?” When Long Ba asked this question, his face was still filled with uncontrollable excitement.
“If nothing unexpected happens, yes.”
“None, none. There will definitely be nothing unexpected.” If it wasn’t for his body size, Long Ba really wanted to stand up and dance.
Tiger Might and the others did not expect that the Sky Alpha Cult’s lair would be wiped out by Su Ying just like that!
They really wanted to know how Su Ying did it!
Su Ying could tell they were puzzled but she simply said, “To capture the bandits, we must first capture the leader. When I captured their Empress, they naturally became disunited and fell into chaos without a leader.”
“Mistress, take us over there for a look.” They were really very curious. For so many years, this Sky Alpha Cult had been emitting nothing but a mystical aura. They really wanted to know what was going on there.
Su Ying still hadn’t figured out this matter herself, but it was better for her to take full control of the place as soon as possible. “Mm-hmm. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Uncle Meng, I’ll leave the Tiger Base to you.”
Meng Zi nodded. “Don’t worry, Mistress. Just go.” Without the threat of the Sky Alpha Cult, who would come to this godforsaken icy snow-covered place?
“Alright.”
After settling their tasks, everyone finally had a relatively relaxed dinner. After eating, they did not stay for long. Yesterday’s fierce battle had exhausted them. They could finally rest well tonight..
