At this moment, An Xue Tang’s eyes, which seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, stared at him, “But that’s all. This princess has always been clear about rewards and punishments, if she helped us, then this princess naturally cannot take her life.”
“However, she did make a mistake after all, so some punishment is still necessary.”
Having said that, she turned to Ning’er beside her and extended her hand.
Ning’er nodded slightly, then reached into her waist and pulled out a porcelain bottle, handing it to her.
A smile curved at the corner of An Xuetang’s lips as she continued to stare into Ming Deng’s eyes, “I suppose that day, Zhi’er’s poisoning in the palace already allowed you to see this concubine’s skill in toxicology.”
“This is a pill that won’t kill you, but it will make your life a living hell, a pain that never ends.”
“If such things were eaten by both parties, would she still be able to live as the jewel of her Xirong tribe?”
“Of course, this concubine knows that your Xili evil clan is best at refining poisons. Just right, this concubine also wants to have a friendly match with your famous Xili evil clan and see which side’s skills are superior, whether your abilities are higher or this concubine’s poison-making skills are stronger.”
After she finished speaking, she shook the porcelain bottle in mid-air. “If you can save her, then you can also show her how to cure this poison? If you can cure the poison I made, this concubine will naturally admit that your abilities are indeed higher than mine. What do you think?”
Ming Deng’s face was as dark as thunder, his blood-red eyes blazing with fury as he glared at An Xue Tang from afar, wishing he could charge over and attack her.
Why does he want to compare himself with her?
Moreover, when would the abilities of those Western Regions evil clans be recognized by her?
What a nerve!
The sword in his hand trembled slightly as he moved his internal energy, and gritted his teeth, “You dare? Has the princess forgotten that Shuangshuang is also the emperor’s daughter?”
“Your Majesty, this is an attempt to harm the royal children. Who gave you the audacity?”
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Upon hearing this, An Xuetang was as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She glanced at Shuangshuang, then at the bright lamp in front of her, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Royal children? Does that emperor really know how many sons and daughters he has?”
Ming Deng’s cold eyes stared at her, “Cut the crap. I want to see just how much you people in the Beijang Wangfu still have up your sleeves.”
After saying that, he rushed forward first, heading straight for Shuangshuang. However, how could the people of Beijiang王府 allow him to get so close? Immediately, his men and the people of Beijiang王府 clashed fiercely.
By this time, Ning’er had already taken the porcelain bottle from her mistress’s hands. With An Xuetang’s tacit approval, she leaped forward in a single bound and arrived beside Shuangshuang.
She gave her hands a long, hard look, then without a word, poured the poison pill from the porcelain bottle. She didn’t give Shuangshuang a chance to react, shoving it straight into her mouth and forcing her to swallow it.

She gazed at the two brawling groups with her indifferent eyes, then turned to Ning’er, her voice flat: “With so many people around, they can’t get this far. You should go protect the Princess.”
Ning’er glanced at her thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment, then spoke, “The Evil Clan of the Western Regions did all sorts of wicked things. Their downfall was entirely their own doing.”
“As long as the demonic clans of Xiwu exist, the people of Xiwu will suffer for another day. Extinction is their inevitable fate.”
“If you wish to live peacefully, then take your people and find a place to settle down. Do not continue to disrupt the peace of this world.”
“But if you are still ambitious and continue to do those wicked things, the people of this world will never accept you.”
As for the past of the Xirong tribe, and all they have done, Ning’er still knows some about it.
Over the years, she’s gathered quite a bit of information about the underworld.
The poison circulating among the Western Regions’ evil tribes is extremely harmful, and their methods are too insidious and dishonest.
Such a tribe is destined to be unacceptable to the world.
They were wiped out because they used to capture and torture people from Xiwu for alchemy and testing poison when they were in the Western Regions.
In the pursuit of immortality, countless people from the Western Regions have perished in the making of what is called the elixir of life.
Luckily, back then the royal family of the Western Regions led the people to fight back. After numerous fierce battles and heavy losses, they finally managed to exterminate the evil tribe in the Western Regions.
Who would have thought that the members of their Western Regions evil clan had not perished, and now they are even thinking about reviving their clan.
They are cruel and merciless, killing without hesitation. In order to develop all sorts of poisons, they will stop at nothing. Just for this reason alone, the Western Regions’ Evil Clan should not exist in this world.
As the next clan leader, if she were to act like a beacon and aim to restore the clan, things would end badly for her.
At this point, she was only able to say a few words because she genuinely cared about the princess.
Of course, Shuangshuang understood what Ning’er meant.
But she didn’t like to hear that.
She narrowed her eyes, slowly lifting her gaze to meet hers. Her voice turned icy cold. “I am willing to help the Princess, but that doesn’t mean I can let go of my hatred for the Western Regions Evil Clan.”
“Those who destroy my people will pay the price. We have been watching the Beijiang Prince’s Mansion closely. To put it plainly, we want to get the weapons from her.”
“All these years of upheaval and living in hiding, we’ve done it for this day: to return to the Western Regions openly, and reclaim what rightfully belongs to us.”
Having said that, she turned away her face, “You just need to protect the princess well. Our Xiliu Evil Clan’s affairs are none of your concern. See how stubborn she is, Ning’er doesn’t even bother to say anything.”
Then it’s like speaking to a bull with a fiddle.
She remained expressionless, continuing to stand guard, but her gaze was fixed on An Xuetang standing beside Shou’er.
Before leaving Jingtang Garden, the Crown Princess had already divided the work. She came to guard by Shuangshuang’s side, while Shou’er was responsible for protecting the Crown Princess closely.
Their guild master said that he hadn’t moved his hands in a long time, fearing a decline in skill. This time, he insisted on doing it himself, and no one could persuade him.
So now they are vying for supremacy with the Ming lantern.
Watching Feng Ming and Ming Deng fight, An Xue Tang’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly spoke, “Brother, he injured his left leg.”
As expected, Feng Ming seized Ming Deng’s weakness the moment he heard it. In a few turns, his sword caught Ming Deng off guard, instantly severing Ming Deng’s left hand.
Things happened too suddenly. Shuangshuang had just heard a sound when, upon looking up, she saw this bloody scene. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she let out an incredulous shriek, “No!”
