Jiang Yichun saw that Bai Ruozhu was fine, and only then did he remember she already had deep inner strength, but this was still enough to worry him. So he vented all his anger on Sangji.
Gao Zhou and Mo Beishan also helped to attack Sangji from both sides. Despite Sangji's sophisticated use of magic techniques, he couldn't withstand the onslaught of the crowd. In no time, he was struck down by a sword to the ground, and Jiang Yichun chopped off his head with one swing.
As his head flew away, his eyes shed a tear, and those eyes were still gazing tightly at Honglian, at the woman he couldn't bear to part with.
Honglian spat blood but didn't injure Bai Ruozhu, only making herself weaker and finally collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
She didn't look at the dead Sangji but turned to Jiang Yichun, saying in a piercing voice, "I promised Jin Jing to claim you, what is wrong with our sisterhood that you can be so heartless?"
Jiang Yichun's face grew even colder, his eyes filled with disdain, "Monsters like you dare to say such things to me? Go to hell!"
He swung his sword down, severing Honglian's head from her snake body. Strangely, Honglian didn't die; she started to laugh, her laughter eerily sharp, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
"How could you treat me like this! I curse you to love each other but never be together, curse you to never grow old together, curse you that your family will fall apart with everyone turning against you!"
"Little Furball, go!" Bai Ruozhu immediately sent Little Furball rushing to drill into Honglian's head, directly implanting the poisonous insect poison.
Honglian's miserable cries kept echoing. Everyone saw she no longer had the strength to resist and rushed forward to vent their wrath. The princess's father even led his subordinates with swords, frantically hacking at her snake body until it was chopped into segments, almost turning into shredded flesh.
"A monster like you who serves an Evil God and becomes a living corpse, neither able to go to the Underworld after death nor to have another life, what right do you have to curse others? Only a pervert like Sangji could accept a monster like you, but unfortunately, he lost his life because of you. You didn't spare him a glance until death; is that pitiful, or is it what you deserved?" Bai Ruozhu finished speaking, and Little Furball darted back.
"No, that's impossible!" Honglian was powerless to move. Blood tears streamed down the corners of her eyes, and soon her eyes gradually lost their luster.
Bai Ruozhu slumped to the ground, drained of her essence though her inner strength was ample. Her head was spinning heavily.
Ao Song also slumped next to her, smiling and said, "It's done, it's all over."
The two looked at each other and both started to laugh.
Though they had only known each other for two days, it felt like they were old friends.
The princess began to cry loudly not far away, shouting, "Those are Dan Ma's eyes, she took Dan Ma's eyes!"
Only then did Bai Ruozhu remember, the last time Honglian died, her eyes were gouged out by Gao Zhou, so earlier when Muyu saw her, she had her eyes closed. It was unknown how Sangji managed to get her new eyes, just like when Jin Jing took one of Zhanna's legs.
Unfortunately, that girl Dan Ma could not return.
When everyone finished venting, Bai Ruozhu then asked them to burn Honglian's and Sangji's bodies together. Perhaps dying together and burning to indistinguishable ashes would fulfill Sangji's wish.
The fierce flames rose, illuminating the night sky. Ao Song sighed beside them, a bit bewildered and said, "Why did Sangji kill so many people for Honglian? Was it just because he loved her?"
Bai Ruozhu earnestly said, "That isn't love. If you love someone, even if you can't bear to see them leave, you wouldn't burden them with those killings. That was just a pretext for their bloodthirsty hearts."
Ao Song tilted his head and said, "If I died, and someone saved me like that, I'd rather stay dead. I wouldn't want to live a life full of guilt."
Bai Ruozhu went to tap his head, "Don't talk nonsense at such a young age."
Ao Song covered his mouth and laughed, "Alright, I won't say it."
Through Sangdian and Sangji's evil techniques, the Barbarian Tribe suffered severe damage to their qi. It was said that it would take at least five or six years to recover. Bai Ruozhu stayed with the Barbarian Tribe for five days before recovering from the essence depletion.
During this time, Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou provided many Barbarian Tribe people with blood-replenishing medicine, for which the Barbarian Tribe was extremely grateful. Unfortunately, those who had been drained of blood could only rest eternally in the desert.
"I helped Sangta detoxify the power-dissolving powder, and he'll have to rely on himself to recuperate. In three days, let's head back; I'm quite missing Little Bengbeng." Bai Ruozhu discussed with Jiang Yichun.
"Alright." Jiang Yichun secretly thought, he could hardly wait to set off right now.
Learning that the team was about to return, Muyu came pitifully to find Bai Ruozhu.
"Madam, can you speak to Zhanna's father for me? I want to take Zhanna back with us," Muyu said, licking his face.
"Does Zhanna want to? Leaving her hometown and being away from her parents," Bai Ruozhu asked.
Muyu gleamed with pride, "She said wherever I go, she'll go. But her father still hopes she'll marry Sangta; she doesn't want to be the Queen."
Before Bai Ruozhu spoke, Jiang Yichun coldly said, "What, does he look down on my people? I'll go talk to him."
Bai Ruozhu watched the master and servant leave, puzzled. Is this Achun's way of protecting his own?
Actually, Jiang Yichun hoped that the young lady wouldn't fancy Sangta and would instead marry his silly subordinate, which would make him immensely proud.
So the master-servant duo went to see Zhanna's father, and under Jiang Yichun's pressure and cold demeanor, Zhanna's father agreed to Muyu's proposal with tremors and fear.
Zhanna, holding onto Muyu's arm, ran outside to talk to him. The bold Barbarian girl stood on tiptoes and quickly kissed Muyu on the cheek.
Muyu's heart raced, and he could only giggle foolishly.
"You have a nice smile, but Lord Jiang's cold face is terrifying, I don't like it," Zhanna pouted as she said.
Muyu grinned even more foolishly, "My master is just aloof, Lady Bai really likes him."
"Anyway, I just like your smiling face," Zhanna said as she laughed, the two of them looking at each other and broke into blooms of laughter.
Bai Ruozhu was wandering outside the tent, and seeing them sneaking over, she didn't want to play third wheel, so she hid in the Space. But being a gossip, she couldn't resist the curiosity, so she watched the young couple's romantically foolish scene from within the Space.
She decided to check later if Zhanna had any eye problems; how could she be so blind?
