Gu Xiaoxi closed her eyes and swiftly used her Spiritual Power to regulate her body, healing her damaged internal organs and the knee bone fractured by that force.

This Gu Feng is indeed not to be underestimated.

She couldn’t move at all, carried by Gu Feng’s subordinates into Gu Feng’s room.

In his room, there were two ancient oil lamps with a ghastly green glow on the wicks. The ghostly light cast upon faces made their expressions seem particularly vicious.

Originally an all-powerful king with extraordinary power, Gu Feng now stooped to such despicable deeds, unfit to lead by example.

Gu Xiaoxi had no clue when Ai Xiang would be able to come.

For now, she was tossed onto the bed in the room, with four bodyguards standing beside her.

Gu Feng strode in and, looking at Gu Xiaoxi’s panicked expression, laughed chillingly, "What a beautiful girl. Tell me, how much do you think I could earn if I turned you into a sacrificial bride? I never expected Liu Yishou to have such a disciple."

"Disgusting, stay away from me," Gu Xiaoxi clenched her fists, slowly regaining some sensation in her body.

As Gu Feng approached her,

without hesitation, she controlled the dagger and lashed out to strike at him.

Yet, to Gu Xiaoxi’s surprise, his movements were incredibly fast. Merely by tilting his head casually, he avoided her attack.

He seemed old, but his actions were agile.

"Do you know of a witchcraft called the Pharaoh’s Bride?

It’s simple, really, to extract your soul and place it into an animal’s body, then preserve your beautiful looks forever.

Once I collect ten brides and exchange them with the Demon, I will gain even more profound power," Gu Feng said coldly. Clearly, he was not joking.

The technique he had just used was the power of the Demon. There was no substance, only a spell.

"You planted witchcraft on the Jade Watermelon, did you not? Is this your way of soul hunting? Despicable. Do your country and people know what you are doing?" Gu Xiaoxi quickly calculated in her mind how to deal with him.

"You’re wrong. My subjects are willing to offer their souls and bodies to make me stronger," Gu Feng dismissed nonchalantly.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t wait for her body to fully recover.

Taking advantage of Gu Feng’s arrogance and his lack of attention, she leapt off the bed, clenched her dagger, and charged at Gu Feng with her fastest speed.

Gu Feng was caught off guard, not expecting the gravely injured Gu Xiaoxi to stand. His arm and back were slashed open by her, and blood gushed out instantly.

By then, Gu Xiaoxi had retreated to a safe distance, coldly staring at him, "You Demon, I will make you pay the price you deserve."

Saying so, she fled from the doorway.

Alone, she struggled to fight him, but once she met Ai Xiang and got what she had prepared, she would show this villain that true power shouldn’t be defeated by evil.

Gu Xiaoxi employed Qinggong, so when Gu Feng chased after her outside,

her figure had already vanished.

Gu Xiaoxi secretly returned to a room with a computer, uploading the evidence she had recorded of Gu Feng confessing to murder and his crimes onto the International Alliance’s website platform as rapidly as possible.

She asked only one question, whether they would handle this matter or not.

If not! She was determined to kill Gu Feng herself.

Important officials in the International Alliance from Egypt immediately verified the matter with their nation. Someone promptly discovered in the royal bedchambers a secret chamber with nine sacrificial brides turned into puppets by him.

Amongst those brides were even the recently deceased elder’s daughter, noble ladies, and beautiful minister’s daughters...

Suddenly, the outside world was thrown into turmoil, and those in Egypt greedily eyeing the throne exposed Gu Feng’s misdeeds. In just an hour, the matter had spread throughout the palace.

The king’s men changed loyalties in a moment, supporting Man Gu as the new king.

Upon verifying the facts, the International Alliance issued a directive, "Gu Feng abused his power for personal gain, harming lives. With the evidence now concrete, anyone who can capture him will be handsomely rewarded by the International Alliance."

By that time, Gu Xiaoxi had already found Ai Xiang, and the two were hiding in the storeroom of a ship’s cabin.

She kept watch on the computer, awaiting a response from the International Alliance.

"Most of his men have been knocked out by me. What should we do now?" Ai Xiang looked around the pitch black space. They had been hiding for an hour and Gu Feng would soon find them. Luckily, there were so many rooms on the cruise ship that they had the chance to catch their breath.

Gu Xiaoxi’s face lit up with a smile as she saw the reply.

She quickly closed her laptop, packed it into her backpack, and only then noticed that she had even brought along the little bunny.

She patted the little bunny, placed the backpack in a corner, and took out her weapons, "We’ve waited long enough. The International Alliance has given their response. They say there’s conclusive evidence to arrest Gu Feng. So, no matter what, we must capture him today."

Ai Xiang loaded her gun and narrowed her eyes, "If that’s the case, then let’s finish this quickly."

Gu Xiaoxi gestured for Ai Xiang to advance, and together they pushed open the dark, small door in front of them.

To their surprise, Gu Feng was rushing towards them with four or five bodyguards in tow.

The opponent, gritting his teeth in anger, exclaimed, "I didn’t expect you’d be hiding here. You little brat, I’d like to see you try and hide again!"

Clearly, this past hour had made him furious.

"Why should I hide, Gu Feng? You are now a key criminal wanted by the International Alliance. I’m here to arrest you." Gu Xiaoxi was certain he hadn’t heard the news yet.

"Foolish dreams! Go to hell, all of you!

" Gu Feng had always been lofty and unapproachable.

How could he have ever put up with such indignity?

Especially since he had been evaded by Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang for an hour and many of his subordinates had been knocked out by anesthesia.

He wanted to settle the score with Gu Xiaoxi immediately.

Furthermore, a woman whom he had crippled somehow managed to escape his clutches and had been hiding for over an hour. Today, if he didn’t kill her, he’d have nowhere to put his face.

As he spoke, he raised his hand, ready to summon his power and attack Gu Xiaoxi.

But Gu Xiaoxi was one step ahead and shot at him.

Forced to protect himself, Gu Feng’s prepared attack against Gu Xiaoxi had to be redirected to deflect the bullets.

Ai Xiang, without any hesitation, opened fire on Gu Feng, the two of them displaying perfect teamwork.

Gu Feng took a step back, instantly enraged. Though the bullets didn’t come close to him, their provocation made him explode in rage, "Presumptuous fools, thinking you could touch me like that. Kill them!" he ordered his bodyguards.

Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang exchanged glances, and seeing a large group of men charging at them, they threw two smoke grenades without a second thought. Then, they darted back into the dark little room and locked the door.

Gu Feng watched the retreating figures of Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang with a sneer, looking at them like they were fools. He feared neither knives nor guns, so why would he fear two smoke grenades?

However, the next second, he sensed something was off. The smell of the smoke grenade was very fragrant, and as he couldn’t help but take another sniff.

Just moments later, his head started spinning, and he felt completely powerless, collapsing onto the plank as his subordinates fell one by one.

Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang hid in the dark little room, listening intently to the noises outside.

After a moment, once the smoke had cleared, Gu Xiaoxi and Ai Xiang stepped out of the room.

Seeing Gu Feng already lying on the ground, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes gleamed cunningly, "I didn’t expect this trick to work so well. Ai Xiang, we should prepare more of these sedative grenades next time."

Ai Xiang lifted her head and smiled, "Sure thing!"

If it hadn’t been for Gu Xiaoxi’s previous fight with Gu Feng, where she had been unable to defeat him and had to flee, making Gu Feng lower his guard, it would have been hard for this to get close to him.

Now, the infamous Gu Feng was captured by two smoke grenades, which was just ludicrous.

Gu Xiaoxi dragged Gu Feng onto the deck and took out the anesthesia she had prepared from her backpack, "To prevent a long night full of dreams, I must make sure he sleeps until we arrive at the International Alliance."

So, she hesitated no more and injected the anesthesia into his body.

"All right! Then I’ll go check the cockpit and have them change our course," Ai Xiang said, her hands in her pockets, surprised at how easily they had dealt with Gu Feng.

Gu Xiaoxi’s clever ideas were simply endless. She had wrung him dry, this genius doctor.

And it was fortunate that she had made him prepare some of these things in advance for self-defense; otherwise, they would have been in great danger today.

On the way to the International Alliance, Gu Xiaoxi kept a close watch on Gu Feng, feeling extremely frustrated.

She was actually more skilled than Liu Yishou, so why couldn’t she defeat Gu Feng? Her Chopping Wind techniques were completely ineffective against him.

Her Inner Strength was also inferior to his.

Of course, Gu Feng’s rare ability to control his power was something that made her wary.
