Emperor Ling personally led the expedition

  The corners of my lips slightly raised, I coldly said, "How delightful for the Dragon King! He actually has the leisure to go to such great lengths for a mere woman like me! If that's the case, then bringing only Gui Feng and Gui Yue would be too much of an insult to His Majesty the Dragon King!"

  Her complexion changed slightly, and Yu's loud voice said, "Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

  But it's too late! At the corner of Wicked Dragon Island, dozens of warships sailed out of Shenlong Army, Long Yunya stood at the bow, shouting, "Imperial sister! We didn't come too late, did we?"

  Iceland's withdrawal into the crowd, I smiled calmly, "Not at all! Just in time!" At this moment, his appearance was undoubtedly like a god from heaven!

  He brought the ship over, surrounding Iceland's fleet. Coldly said, "Today's harvest is not small, and it can actually catch the Dragon King! Imperial sister! What a wonderful move!"

  I curled up the corner of my lips and said calmly, "It's just that I've been calculated by people many times, so I learned to counterattack! My price is not small either!" My gaze slowly turned to Father on the boat. "Magic Dragon King, a father's hatred cannot be shared with others! Today you fell into my hands, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

  I finished speaking, then grasped my sword and leapt up, charging onto her warship. Long Yunye and the others also acted simultaneously, a fierce battle began! Bing Lan kept retreating backwards, I kept charging forward, wherever the Dragon Thunder Sword reached, flesh and blood flew everywhere, fresh blood stained the red and white brocade clothes, my hand didn't stop, vowing to kill her!

  She had been hiding, hiding all the way until the end, with no way out, and then suddenly jumped into the water! I looked up at the sky and let out a loud howl, just as I was about to jump in, my clothes were tightly grasped from behind! "Let me go!" I shouted loudly.

  "Let go of what!" Long Yunya shouted loudly. "In this kind of weather, with so many sharks in the sea! Even if you have a dragon son to protect you, you can't escape unscathed!"

  I gazed at him coldly, just as he raised the sword in his hand, intending to slash down at my clothes. But instead, he reached out and grasped the tip of my sword tightly! Blood dripped onto my face, drop by drop, as he said firmly, "No matter what, I won't let you die!" His eyes shone with a puzzled light, like a deep abyss, just like Long Yunya's when he protected me.

  Seeing my hesitation, he pulled me up with one hand and stood on the deck, staring blankly at his injured right hand. I asked in doubt, "Why would you rather hurt your own hand to save me? Is someone like me worth such sacrifice?"

  He faintly curled his lips and said in a low voice, "I don't know! Just now there was a voice in my heart telling me to stop you! If you die, I will be blamed by the emperor. Besides, your belly has the dragon son of my Shenlong tribe." He comforted himself!

  No way! The two of them were always at odds, and he cursed him, but did he curse him enough? As for mentioning Longzi, without me, there are still many people in this world who would give birth to children for him. What's the big deal? It's just missing one person who would seize the throne!

  Looking at the icy sea water, I said in a low voice, "She's gone!"

  "He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and whispered, 'That's not her! It's just a substitute!'"

  I burst out laughing! I said, how could the Dragon King be so easily caught by someone?! It turns out she had planned it all along! She let someone disguise themselves as her, mimicking her tone! And led us into a trap! "How did you figure it out?!"

  He twitched the corner of his mouth, pointing to his own brain with his finger, "I'm best at disguise, Imperial Sister has forgotten, it was I who taught Imperial Sister the art of disguise! This little trick is not worth mentioning in my eyes!"

  "So, you'd rather I didn't pursue someone as fake as that, right?" I said in a low voice.

  He furrowed his brow, "She must have anticipated that you would follow her into the water. And there are sharks in the water, so Dragon Son can't save you! Dying in the belly of a fish is her plan! Imperial sister, if this plan succeeds, how can I face Master?"

  I was stunned, grabbed his snow-white collar and loudly said, "You call Master! Do you know I'm your junior sister? You've remembered everything?"

  He furrowed his brow, a look of confusion in his eyes. "Didn't they tell me? You used to be my junior sister! As a junior sister, you must certainly report to our master!"

  His words made my heart feel a chill, the war had come to an end and our army had won a great victory! Although we had emerged victorious, the Dragon King had escaped. I couldn't help but feel a pang of greed in my heart. I whispered softly, "Let's go! Yun Jia Shixiong!"

  At the sound of his voice, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "The General orders, return to the Dragon Clan!"

  The fleet, majestic and mighty, sailed towards the direction of the Shen Long tribe. Father, I'm almost home! I'm almost home! I whispered to myself. Gui Yue and Gui Feng stood guard on the ship. It wasn't until we arrived at the Shen Long army's garrison that I realized I hadn't slept for two days and two nights!

  "Empress! We've arrived! Let's disembark!" Long Yunya said softly.

  I nodded in response and took a few steps forward before everything went black and I fell straight down!

  The cries of agony intertwined, the clashing sound of golden swords left people bewildered. The sky was dyed red with blood, and so was the sea. The air was filled with a bloody stench. I shouted loudly, my Dragon Thunder sword slashing non-stop, leaving a trail of crimson wherever it went! I remembered! I clearly recalled the feeling of having both hands stained with blood! That nauseating sensation! If I had encountered the scene of my father's death before, I would have gone mad and killed countless people without any feelings. But this time, I remembered every detail of each kill! Their cries, their pain. Severed arms, severed legs, severed heads!

  This feeling is so real. It's so nauseating! Ugh! I keep vomiting, my stomach is empty but I just can't stop vomiting, Father! Ugh! Ugh! Hanmei, you are the hope of our Demon Dragon Clan.

  He slowly walked away. I stretched out my hand and waved wildly, shouting loudly, "Don't go! Don't leave! Father! Don't go!" Binglan's beautiful face smiled faintly, her icy blue clothes radiating a cold glow, "Ye Hanmei, I will destroy you! Destroy everything of yours!" She drew her sword to slash, but she was suddenly near and then far, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't slash her!

  Her face cracked in front of me, the crack grew bigger and bigger, just for a moment, it tore her whole body apart! Kill you! Binglan! In this life, if Ye Hanmei doesn't avenge this grudge, I'll be like this arrow!

  Just like this arrow! Woke up screaming, body soaked in sweat. Panting heavily, what a realistic dream!

  "Miss! You're finally awake!" Kiyotsugu's anxious face was reflected in my eyes. He stared at me fixedly.

  I furrowed my brow and whispered, "Ghost month! I had a nightmare!"

  He nodded, "I know! Miss's bloodthirsty situation seems to have alleviated a lot! Is it related to Longzi? Guī Yuè remembers that when Miss killed people before, she never thought about the appearance of the dead. Never felt sad for them! But now, Miss is heartbroken! Heartbroken for those people! Miss, just like Guī Yuè's situation after killing for the first time, having nightmares! It's just that Miss is on the battlefield, and with time, will naturally become numb!"

  I hung my head and furrowed my brow, no mistake! What he said was absolutely right! I indeed looked like a first-time murderer! I remained silent for a while before softly asking, "How's Father's case going?"

  Guī Yuè nodded, "I've already found the best burial site for the old island masters, dug a hole, and now I'm just waiting for Miss's order to let them rest in peace!"

  "I said in a low voice, 'Remember! Help Father wash his face clean! Father has always loved cleanliness throughout his life! If he is buried like this, he will be uncomfortable! And... help him sew up his head, I want him to go whole!"

  Kiyotsuki bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Yes! Miss!"

  I covered my face with both hands and said in a low voice, "I want to see Father again!"

  He twitched the corner of his mouth, stood up and tactfully exited the room. Wearing a plain white robe, the person in the mirror looked delicate and pale, evoking sympathy and affection. Pushing open the door, Gui Yue followed silently behind me. Shen Long Jun was on the training grounds practicing with them, Long Yun Ya leading them in simple fist and footwork exercises.

  I walked silently, like a shadow drifting across the training grounds. The people practicing on the training grounds suddenly fell to the ground, some of them exclaiming in surprise, "Marshal, you're so beautiful! You truly live up to your reputation as the Dragon Empress! Even while pregnant, you remain this lovely!"

  I didn't want to bother with them, and directly headed towards the place where the corpses were kept. Long Yuye jumped up and down, jumping to my side, and exclaimed, "Imperial sister! Imperial sister! You just woke up, where are you going?"

  Looking at his pale and red face, I said in a low voice, "I'll go take another look at Father!"

  His face changed and he shouted loudly, "Fifth brother! She's going to see the wine ghost again!"

  He spoke, and Long Yunya immediately put down the soldier and rushed over, saying urgently, "Imperial sister! This matter must not be done! You are pregnant with a dragon fetus, it is extremely unfavorable for the dragon fetus to approach a dead person like this! Moreover, he has been dead for more than three days! According to the Shendragon country's theory, his soul has already reached the Yellow Spring Road. In that case, Imperial sister will not be able to move him again! Otherwise, the dragon fetus will be damaged, is it a disaster or a blessing!"

  I coldly looked back at him and said in a low voice, "The dead person you're talking about is my father!" After that, not only did I not stop, but I also sped up even faster!

  His hands were spread wide, blocking my way, and he shouted, "Dragon Concubine! Do you know that your father has already passed away? You've been gone for so long, and now you're back with all these corpses. If you go again, you'll truly abandon the Dragon Heir! The dead are gone! The living have a future, Dragon Concubine! You'd best remember my words!"

  I raised my head and said softly, "Can't I even take a last look at my father?"

  He furrowed his brow, clearly startled by my humble attitude, and after a moment of stunned silence, he whispered, "Imperial sister! You... never mind! Ghost Wind, Ghost Moon, you two will protect the Dragon Empress from front and back. Yuyan, you're on the left, I'm on the right, let's use our true dragon aura to block out the corrupting aura!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them surrounded me and we set off in this formation towards the direction of the corpses. The corpses were all laid out on the land of Jiang Guo, belonging to the Shen Long tribe. Each person only earned a grass mat and a white cloth. From afar, I could smell the stench of death carried by the wind. I couldn't help but wrinkle my brow. Had they already decayed to this extent?

  Speeding up our pace, we rushed to the scene, where the soldiers digging graves were sweating profusely, working with their shirts off. I said in a low voice, "These people are all heroes of a lifetime, who have gone through life and death with me, my good friends, good brothers! Is it just that they can't even get a thin coffin at the end? Is it just so miserable, helpless, wrapped in a grass mat and buried like this?"

  "They have returned to their hometown, and although they cannot enter the Divine Dragon Tribe while alive, they can be buried here after death. For them, this is also a kind of happiness! Previously, when I drank with them, they mentioned that if they could enter the land of the Divine Dragon Tribe after death, then even if they were to be cut into pieces, they would still be willing! They longed to smell the earthy scent of the Divine Dragon Tribe again. Miss, their wish has been fulfilled! Don't be sad anymore!"

  I twitched the corner of my mouth, speechless for a moment, and then let out a loud belch, spewing out the acidic liquid from my stomach. I was actually afraid of the smell of corpses! I furrowed my brow, stood up straight, and shouted in a loud voice, "Bury them with the dignity of the Dragon God Army! And tell the Dragon God Army that even on the battlefield, I will not abandon a single soldier of the Dragon God Army! I will not let any one of them die silently!"

  As soon as I finished speaking, I fell down softly. However, by my ear, I heard the man's distant and long sigh.

  Father smiled and patted my head, "Hanmei, be careful to protect the dragon breed! When you leave, don't come to see me off! The dragon breed is important! Although I don't admit it, if I die, then I'm dead!" After saying that, he smiled and left.

  I watched him leave, and a warm current flowed into my lower abdomen. The child in my belly was kicking and jumping, as if new life had been injected! A large, warm palm was tightly pressed against the slightly bulging small abdomen, and the warmth was slowly transmitted from this big palm.

  I opened my eyes slightly, only to see Long Yunya and Long Yuya standing before me, beads of sweat the size of beans on their foreheads as they poured internal energy into my abdomen. A warmth spread through my chest, and I hoarsely called out, "Master!"

  He was taken aback, but his hand remained still on my abdomen, his eyes slightly opened, wanting to speak but hesitating. Long Yuye shouted loudly, "Wake up, wake up! Imperial sister-in-law woke up! It's really great! Waking up is all that matters!" He shouted excitedly.

  "What's wrong with me?" I said hoarsely.

  Long Yunya said in a low voice, "Just now the evil spirit invaded, it was because of our dragon energy protecting our bodies that you also fainted on the ground! Can only follow Yu Ya with dragon energy into the body, protect the dragon fetus!"

  "I said in a low voice, 'Sorry, I didn't know it was this serious!'"

  He shook his head, "It's human nature! Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and you mother and child were safe!" The corners of his lips twitched, and his snow-white hair made him look like a celestial being floating in the air.

  "Thank you! Elder brother!" I said softly.

  "Hey, that's not right! The crown prince who came to deliver the edict outside and my second brother both made an effort! Your Majesty, your child has been protected by the nine dragons!"

  I curled up the corners of my lips, "Even if all of you came, what's this nonsense about nine dragons protecting the body? How could the Emperor possibly come!"

  "Who says I won't come!" Long Nuyue pushed open the door, his voice hoarse. His face was pale and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot red, and his beard had grown so long it covered his mouth! This man, was actually Long Nuyue? I felt a jolt throughout my body, and loudly asked, "How did you come here!"

  "He snorted coldly, 'Why can't I come? You're always doing things that worry people, venturing to Evil Dragon Island alone! Throwing the Divine Dragon Army here! Yun Ya! I'm telling you to take good care of the Empress, what have you done?'"

  Long Yunya coldly snorted, "When abroad, one's orders are not absolute!"

  Long Nu glared at him with a fierce gaze and said loudly, "Don't forget, your life was saved by your imperial sister-in-law!"

  He smiled, "I knew that naturally! Forget it! Yuxuan! Our mission is over, let's leave quickly, otherwise, your fourth brother will scold us to death!"

  Long Nuyue's face didn't look good. Long Yuye glanced at him, then looked at Long Yunyue, and after a while, let out a loud cry and rushed away with Long Yunyue!

  "How did you get here!" I said in a low voice.

  A furious Long Ying wrapped his arms around me, his voice hoarse and urgent. "How could I not come! How can you be so oblivious to me! You clearly said when we parted ways that you would definitely return, but now you're venturing into the Evil Dragon Island alone, where did you put me!"

  I shook my head and pushed him away, "I'm going with Gui Feng and Gui Yue! It's none of your business, Bing Lan!" I snorted.

  He stared blankly, lifted my chin, "What did you say about Iceland! What does Iceland have to do with this!"

  I snorted coldly, "Do you know, Iceland is actually the Dragon King!"

  He was stunned for a long time, and then burst out laughing. He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up, "What are you talking about? Yilan has been in the imperial city all along, how could she be the dragon king you're talking about! On the days when you were attacked, she would often invite the concubines from the palace to her place for dinner! Hanmei, have you gone crazy?"

  I smiled coldly, "Foolish? You underestimate me! What's foolishness? Long Nu Ya, what you see is not necessarily Ice Lan. Can you really be certain?"

  He nodded, "I can be certain! A hundred percent certain! I grew up with her since childhood, her habits, I'm very familiar with them! You say the Dragon King is Ice Lan, then, call in Yun Ya, he's an expert in disguise techniques, he can tell who's real and who's fake! So, let him speak, whether the Ice Lan in the Imperial City is true or false!"

  "I shouted in a shrill voice, 'But why did he have to disguise himself as Iceland! Have you ever thought about it? Why not you, why not me. Why must it be Iceland? An empty hole doesn't invite the wind, don't you know that?'"

  He shook his head, coldly saying, "You used to be a member of the Demon Dragon Clan, didn't you know? Yuelan was once my lover, and as long as she's around, I can move freely among the Divine Dragon Clan! And don't you also know? You were ambushed as soon as you set sail! It's all because of her!"

  That is to say, he was certain that Yuelan would not be the Demon Dragon King! Good one, Yuelan! It turned out that while she was plotting against me, she had actually stayed in the Imperial City of Longnu! In this way, no matter what, he would never believe that she was the Demon Dragon King! The Demon Dragon King actually lived in the Imperial City of the Divine Dragon King, it's simply absurd!

  "You don't believe it then! I can't do anything about it!" I said softly. Coldly pointing outside the door, "Get out! I don't want to see you!"

  "He snorted coldly, 'Who are you letting out? All of Jiang Guo's land is mine alone! Are you letting me out?'"

  I stood up and said loudly, "Then let me go!"

  He pulled me back with one hand and said coldly, "I haven't asked you yet, what's going on between you and Yun Ya just now? You're the one who mentioned me first! Tell me! Has he already remembered you? Why did you faint just now and fall into his arms?"
