Warm and Cozy, Sweet and Tender

Seeing this, Mu Yan'er paid no more attention to the crowd.

She rushed straight to the skeleton, bent down, and used her only functioning arm to pick up the remains.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, look! Mu Yan'er is bullying me like this..."

Hua Niaozi immediately burst into aggrieved, tearful wails.

"Junior Sister Mu, you are forcing our hands!"

The senior brother and senior sister exchanged glances, then shouted in unison.

Following their shouts, the two of them joined forces, channeling profound Qi through their fingertips, and launched an attack at Mu Yan'er.

With one of her arms already crippled and the other busy gathering the skeleton, Mu Yan'er was completely vulnerable to the surprise attack from behind.

Caught off guard, she was instantly struck by the pair.

Hit by a powerful shockwave, her body lurched forward uncontrollably before she crashed heavily onto the ground, sprawled face down.

Seizing the opportunity, Hua Niaozi snatched up the skeleton.

Having successfully retrieved the bones, Hua Niaozi instructed the young man beside her, "Since fire couldn't burn it and the bone-dissolving technique couldn't melt it, smash it into pieces with a stone! In any case, I am determined to reduce that good-for-nothing, ugly wretch to dust!"

"Alright."

At Hua Niaozi's command, the young man immediately fetched a large stone.

Unable to pick herself up from the ground, Mu Yan'er could only turn her head and watch in despair as Hua Niaozi and the young man viciously slammed the heavy stone onto the skeleton.

In an instant, the bones were pulverized!

Though the skeleton had not completely vanished from this world as Hua Niaozi had wished, seeing it reduced to powder brought her a sense of satisfaction.

"Heh, Baili Tianchang, you good-for-nothing, ugly wretch, this is your destined fate! Disappear forever! Never show your face before me again!"

Hua Niaozi drew her sword and began hacking wildly at the scattered bone fragments.

Imagining that she was butchering Baili Tianchang herself rather than mere fragments of bone, she felt an even greater surge of exhilaration in her heart.

At last, not a single trace of bone remained on the ground, and Hua Niaozi contentedly sheathed her sword.

"Baili Tianchang, no one in this world is worthy of my supplication! And a good-for-nothing, ugly wretch like you is even less deserving!"

Gazing at the chaotic, ravaged ground she had created, Hua Niaozi muttered silently to herself.

"Alright, Junior Sister Hua, you've gotten your wish. Let's head back."

The group completely ignored Mu Yan'er, who was still lying paralyzed on the ground, and instead spoke flatteringly to Hua Niaozi.

"Mm, thank you, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

Hua Niaozi flashed a sweet smile, exuding her charm in a myriad of captivating ways toward her senior brothers.

While Hua Niaozi and her companions believed that Baili Tianchang had vanished from this world forever, inside a carriage drawn by heavenly dragon-horses, the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and sweet.

Baili Tianchang and Nalan Dijiu were traveling leisurely, playing and laughing all the way back to Yayue City.

In truth, how could Nalan Dijiu ever bear to bring Baili Tianchang back?

He had no other wish in this lifetime than to stay with his little fairy, living a carefree life akin to immortals.

Yet, his little fairy had worldly attachments and had chosen to return to the General's Estate.

Thus, Nalan Dijiu, who obeyed Baili Tianchang's every command...
