Rebirth Space Pretty Girl Chapter 3021: Burst (2)

Chapter 3021 Burst (2)

Murong Lingran snatched the letter and scanned the contents with a sharp gaze. "They demand that I personally rescue the captives. I have three hours to reach a cavern in Wuming Mountain by following the path on this map. The instructions are clear: I must come alone, without a single pet. If they detect anyone else accompanying me, they will slaughter all the children."

The Marquis of Ning An frowned as he reviewed the message. "Aran, this is out of the question. These people are ruthless enough to target innocent children; they are clearly monsters. If you walk into their trap, they will surely kill you."

"But what will happen to the children?"

"What children?"

A familiar masculine voice interrupted their conversation. Everyone turned toward the doorway to find Helian Rongjiu standing there.

The group immediately moved to offer their respects.

"Dispense with the formalities."

Upon rising, Princess Qihua spoke up anxiously, "Your Majesty, by right of custom, you should not be seeing Aran at this time."

Helian Rongjiu replied, "It matters not. Had I stayed away, I wouldn't have realized something was wrong here. Tell me, what has transpired?"

Murong Lingran explained the situation regarding Lihua Village and the ultimatum she had just received.

Helian Rongjiu’s expression darkened instantly. "You cannot go. Their goal is to prevent you from becoming my Queen. By going there, you are walking straight into their snare."

Murong Lingran countered firmly, "But if I refuse to go, those children will be murdered."

After a moment of contemplation, Helian Rongjiu suggested, "There are women among my Xuanwu guards. I can find a body double who resembles you."

"That won't work," Murong Lingran argued. "While your guards are elite warriors, a fake will be exposed. No matter how high her cultivation or martial arts, if she is ambushed by dozens or hundreds of enemies at once, she won't be able to hold them off. The children would still be in mortal danger."

"Then what is your plan?"

"I will go myself."

Every person in the room cried out in unison, "Absolutely not!"

Murong Lingran remained resolute. "I understand your fear, but if I stay behind, those ten children are as good as dead. I cannot simply watch them perish."

"The masterminds want to trap me in a corner. If I go, they take my life; if I stay, they will surely broadcast my cowardice to the world to ruin our marriage."

"Rather than waiting for disaster to strike, it is better to take the initiative and attack."

"I love Brother Jiu. If I cannot be his wife in the future, I might as well be dead."

Helian Rongjiu was too worried to be touched by her words. "But the danger of going alone is far too great."

He feared that this journey would be a path of no return for her.

Murong Lingran offered a small smile. "It will be fine. Don't forget, I have the protection of the old immortal, and he will keep me safe."

Shenjun Changqi was now able to manifest. She had just secretly consulted him, and as long as he followed her in his invisible state, no one would see him. With his protection, she was certain she could return safely.

Princess Qihua remained uneasy. "Aran, we are still incredibly worried about your safety."

Murong Lingran looked at them with solemn eyes. "I give you my word, I shall return unharmed."

Faced with such unwavering determination, the others found themselves unable to argue further.

Murong Zhe, who understood his daughter's compassionate nature best, spoke up first. He believed her when she said the old immortal would protect her. "Very well. Father gives you his permission to go."
