"Su Han, I never expected you to be so strong. If I had known earlier, I should have stayed with you the moment I arrived. You brat, you insisted you were a cripple. How are you a cripple? You're just too fierce!"
Su Han chuckled. To be honest, he had gained a lot over the past three days without giving any of his power to Xue Ling. Instead, he had benefited greatly from Xue Ling's special physique, increasing his combat power by 200 million instantly.
For Su Han, this 200 million combat power was crucial. With it, his overall combat power, including the bonus from the Emperor's Cloak, was now comparable to the Snow Clan Emperor.
"This is great, Xue Ling. I told you I was stronger than you, and you didn't believe me. Now you do, right? Hehe. Since you're my woman now, let's fight together. Together, we will be invincible..."
Su Han was quite persuasive.
Just as he was about to continue their conversation about life, a knock came from the door.
"Master, something bad has happened..."
Hearing this, Su Han immediately sat up. He had been having Song Xinran investigate the situation in various places. When she said something bad had happened, Su Han's heart sank.
After all, according to his previous predictions, the foreign armies would need at least ten to fifteen more days to arrive. It had only been three days, and they already had news.
He immediately opened the door.
Su Han asked, "Xinran, what did you find out?"
"Master, the Marchioness of Goat... she... she's dead!"
Su Han was shocked. The Marchioness of Goat was quite a beauty, though her only flaw was being a bit promiscuous. However, none of that mattered to Su Han, as he had experienced it firsthand. As for her future, it was no longer within Su Han's jurisdiction.
Now, to hear that she was dead!
"What happened?"
Song Xinran said, "I was going to her room today to deliver her food. When I got there, I found the door and windows open, so I went in. That's when I discovered that the Marchioness of Goat was already dead, and she looked very peaceful..."
Su Han was immediately filled with doubt. After all, the Marchioness of Goat, Xue Ying, had several hundred million combat power. Ordinary experts would find it difficult to even get close to her, let alone kill her.
Someone who could kill her at close range must have extraordinary skills!
"Let's go take a look!"
As he walked out, Su Han warned the Third Princess behind him to be careful, as the killer might strike again!
Following Song Xinran, Su Han entered a room next to the villa.
This was the temporary room of the Marchioness of Goat. She was arranged to stay here because it was very airy, which was the Marchioness of Goat's preferred living space.
Who would have thought she would meet such a fate!
"Damn it, how could this happen..."
Su Han stepped forward to examine her and immediately found that the Marchioness of Goat had died very strangely. There were no visible injuries on her body, as if she had been ambushed and killed without any defense.
Moreover, the attacker must have possessed extremely strong skills and delivered a fatal blow in one strike!
"At least 800 million combat power, and they must have extremely strong... disguise abilities? Or perhaps they already knew each other..."
Su Han was making a series of deductions!
Suddenly!
He felt a chill down his spine, as if he were being targeted by a venomous snake.
A voice whispered in his ear, "Hehe, kid, you're analyzing very thoroughly. Since you're so good at analyzing, why don't you analyze who I am? Hee hee, if you guess correctly, there's a reward!"
As soon as he heard this.
Before Su Han could turn around, he realized that this attack might be from the royal family of the foreign race. However, what surprised him was that it wasn't one of the princesses.
It was someone he hadn't seen before. Without seeing their face, it was very difficult to guess their appearance.
"Who are you?"
"Tsk, didn't I ask you to guess? You're asking directly. You're so boring. Oh, and here's a small hint, we've met before... I was hiding behind my mother back then. You must have seen me, right?"
Su Han immediately recalled. Besides the foreign emperor, the empress, the princesses, and some exceptionally powerful guards were present at the time.
And this person said he was hiding behind his mother, so it was highly likely that the mother he was referring to was the empress!
"You are the Empress's offspring, are you male... or female?"
"Haha, how shameless! I've given you such a hint, and you're still asking questions. I can't stand it anymore. Su Han, I'll tell you one more thing: I am a royal offspring more noble than any princess you've ever met. Hahaha, you should be able to guess by now, right?"
The person laughed heartily, while Su Han became even more confused.
He didn't know how many offspring the foreign royal family had, nor did he know who was more noble. However, at this moment, he had a general idea of the direction from the voice. Su Han immediately threw a flying dagger towards the distant direction!
*Bang!*
The flying dagger struck a pillar. Clearly, the opponent was not to be trifled with.
"Good, since you can't wait any longer to talk to me, I'll leave. However, I hope you understand that with your strength, you cannot shake our race's millennia-long plan. Hmph, so today's encounter is just a warning. Please take care of yourself in the future!"
With that, the voice abruptly ceased, as if nothing had happened, and silence fell.
Su Han then felt a gentle breeze caress his face!
A faint scent of rouge wafted over.
"This person... could it be a woman?"
Su Han found it somewhat unlikely. After all, the voice sounded more masculine for a woman. If it were a man, it would be too strange. All signs pointed to this person being a woman.
"So be it. Since the opponent has come to fight, I have no reason not to accept the challenge!"
Su Han then ordered the Marchioness of Goat to be buried and immediately found Xue Ling, planning to conduct some intensive training.
"Xue Ling, don't leave these days. Let's not go anywhere else. We'll stay here in the villa and have a good talk and cultivate. What do you say?"
Seeing the deceased Marchioness of Goat, Xue Ling immediately realized that the situation was more serious than she had imagined.
