In an instant, the monarch stood in front of Ye Xunhuan, directly reaching out to grab the xun in Ye Xunhuan’s hand, while at the same time, Jue Tian was also by Qiu Ruoxi’s side.

After seizing the xun, the monarch didn’t have any intention of taking it away; he simply crushed it, destroying it. At this moment, Jue Tian had also already taken Qiu Ruoxi to the side.

One could say it was a perfect transaction.

In this transaction, both parties achieved their objectives.

After destroying the xun, the monarch immediately stepped aside. He wouldn’t foolishly stand there as a target, allowing others to attack him.

"Jue Tian, this time you played it hard." After retreating, the monarch didn’t make another move. He just turned to leave.

As for the monarch leaving, Jue Tian didn’t try to stop him because he knew that if the monarch wanted to leave, they might not be able to stop him.

Therefore, he let the monarch go.

Although Jue Tian let the monarch leave, his brows slowly furrowed. Based on his understanding of the monarch, the monarch shouldn’t admit defeat so easily. Could there be deception involved here?

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan dashed in front of Qiu Ruoxi, full of concern, and asked, "Wife, are you alright?"

Qiu Ruoxi lightly shook her head and said, "I’m fine!"

As she spoke, a trace of guilt slowly appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s face: "I’m sorry, I’ve become your burden again, I..."

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi full of guilt and pain, Ye Xunhuan immediately shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? When did you become my burden?"

"It should be me who’s dragging you down!"

What Ye Xunhuan said wasn’t unfounded, after all, if it weren’t for marrying him, Qiu Ruoxi probably wouldn’t have encountered these things. She would be living her life peacefully.

Though Ye Xunhuan said this, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t think so. Still full of guilt and anxiety, she stared at Ye Xunhuan: "Xunhuan, I..."

"Alright, it’s over now," Ye Xunhuan gently said to Qiu Ruoxi.

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan reached out lightly and tapped Qiu Ruoxi on her delicate nose. The action was gentle yet affectionate!

This subtle and tender gesture by Ye Xunhuan caused a sour feeling in Qiu Ruoxi’s nose, and she immediately nestled into Ye Xunhuan’s arms: "Why didn’t you tell me you were in trouble, you..."

As she embraced him, Ye Xunhuan had no other thoughts; he was calm, as tranquil as still water.

At that moment, Jue Tian seemed to think of something and suddenly spoke: "Xunhuan, she’s not Qiu Ruoxi..."

Just as Jue Tian spoke, a sharp dagger appeared in Qiu Ruoxi’s right hand, and while Ye Xunhuan was unprepared, it plunged directly into Ye Xunhuan’s lower abdomen!

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced into Ye Xunhuan’s lower abdomen, immediately causing a pained expression to appear on his face, and almost instinctively, he pushed Qiu Ruoxi away!

This sudden twist made Olivia and the others widen their eyes; none of them expected such a thing to happen.

"You... you..."

In the next moment, a hearty laugh resounded around them: "Jue Tian, for all your calculations, you still did not outwit me!"

Then, the monarch, who had seemingly left, appeared again, looking confident and extremely pleased with himself!

Seeing the monarch’s smug look, Jue Tian’s face immediately turned grim: "You..."

"Alright, revert to your true form!"

Ignoring Jue Tian, the monarch spoke to the woman impersonating Qiu Ruoxi.

"Yes, master!"

With those words, the woman spun in place, transforming into someone else.

A delicate face shaped like an egg appeared, with eyes like blooming peach flowers, irresistibly alluring. The scarlet cherry lips looked thin, yet they seemed to exude a fragrance, tempting anyone to taste them.

This was a stunning woman, yet as deadly as a viper.

Seeing the woman change back to her true form, the monarch’s gaze slowly fell on Ye Xunhuan, who was holding his stomach, full of pain.

"Ye Xunhuan, does this scene feel familiar?"

"Monarch, you..."

"Let me remind you, in Moscow!" the monarch said nonchalantly, "Your man sent Qiu Ruoxi from Moscow, yet Qiu Ruoxi still appeared there."

"I think it was that Ninja under your command who impersonated her, right?" the monarch said softly, "Now I just borrowed your method, why couldn’t you see through it?"

By now, blood had stained Ye Xunhuan’s left hand, and the dagger in his abdomen was glaringly obvious!

"Monarch, you’re despicable!"

"Jue Tian, are you any nobler than me?" the monarch sneered, "Let’s not judge each other; today I will win. Ye Xunhuan is already ruined; the dagger pierced his Dantian!"

"He can’t gather his strength anymore; he poses no threat to me. Next, it’s your turn."

As he spoke, the monarch swept his gaze over everyone present.

"By the way, there’s one more thing I need to mention." The monarch smiled as he said, "Jue Tian, I’ve known for a long time that I was bewitched. It was Lin Yuhai who told me and helped me eliminate it, and he also advised me to feign distress!"

Jue Tian’s face contorted hideously; after all the scheming, it ended up being in vain!

Thinking of this, Jue Tian was filled with suppression and anger.

"Monarch, today I’ll send you to your death!"

"You don’t have the ability!" The monarch said dismissively, "Without Ye Xunhuan’s help, even with those two bats, you can’t handle me!"

"I might as well tell you, the people of my Jun family have been mobilized," the monarch said proudly, "They’re here too, and you’re all going to be slaughtered by me!"

"But Ye Xunhuan will live; I still want him and Qiu Ruoxi to meet one more time!"

With that, the monarch laughed maniacally.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was already slowly sitting on the ground, his face full of pain. The monarch’s plan was too deep, and his act was so real that no one could see through it.

Moreover, the originally favorable situation was completely overturned!

Now, Olivia was beside Ye Xunhuan, filled with anxiety and worry, she said, "Are you okay?"

"I won’t die. Find an opportunity to leave," Ye Xunhuan said painfully, "He should be forcing me, waiting for my aunt to appear!"

"He wants to take all my trump cards before deciding to kill me."

This was what the monarch had said to Ye Xunhuan in the past, and now Ye Xunhuan realized, his trump cards were truly about to be all lost!
