The Emperor is kidnapped, and the useless daughter destroys the three realms

"He girl, what do you mean?" Ruan Litian asked puzzledly when he saw this scene.

"Grandpa, there is no time to explain. Is there any cinnabar at home?" Ruan Xihe stood up, took the paper and pen on the table, and started writing something.

Seeing her serious expression, Ruan Litian suppressed his doubts a little and shouted to the outside, "Go get the cinnabar!"

The servant outside the house ran away after hearing this. Ruan Xihe also stopped writing. She folded the paper and handed it to A Jiang, "Go buy these herbs. Remember, be quick!"

A Jiang was skeptical, but after seeing Ruan Litian's eyes, he nodded heavily and left.

"And the girl, what happened?" Ruan Litian asked.

Ruan Xihe didn't want to tell the truth and make her grandfather worry, but when she saw Ruan Litian's concerned expression, she decided to speak out.

"Daddy's body is not only as the doctor just said... but also has evil spirits in it. If we don't force the evil spirits out in time, I'm afraid... he will explode and die!"

"Demonic energy? How could there be demonic energy in Jue'er's body?" Ruan Litian murmured to himself.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the servant outside had returned with cinnabar. Ruan Xihe took the cinnabar, put it in the basin, and melted it with spiritual power.

Then she picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to paint on the paper like flowing clouds and water...

Ruan Litian's eyes widened in shock. "He girl, you... can actually use talismans?"

"Grandpa, this is a long story. I'll tell you in detail later." Ruan Xihe didn't stop his hands, but sweat broke out on his forehead.

Ruan Litian knew that now was not the time to talk about things, so he nodded and didn't disturb her anymore.

After a long time, Ruan Xihe breathed a sigh of relief. She finally finished drawing a red talisman. She found that drawing talismans on this continent was very time-consuming and not as simple as in her previous life...

"Knockknock——"

There was a knock on the door. Jiang's face flushed, his clothes soaked with sweat, and he gasped, "Miss, what should we do with these herbs?"

Ruan Xihe looked back at the herbs in Ah Jiang's hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said, "Just put them on the table. Also, prepare a bucket of hot water and bring it to the room. Remember, the hotter the better!"

"Okay." A Jiang turned around and ran again.

She stood beside the bed with a solemn expression. She placed the rune in her hand on Ruan Jue's forehead, kept making seals with her hands, and muttered something.

After a long while, she suddenly shouted, "Grandpa, lift the quilt!"

Ruan Litian did as he was told, only to see a faint layer of demonic energy wrapped around Ruan Jue's body. The demonic energy moved slowly and went towards the talisman on his forehead!

The talisman glowed red, and after absorbing all the evil energy, it dimmed. Ruan Xihe took the talisman off, and a flame appeared in his hand, burning it to ashes.

After taking the talisman, Ruan Jue seemed to have been drained of his vitality, like a dried corpse...

"How could this happen?" Ruan Litian asked.

"Grandpa, this is normal. The evil spirit is eating away at Daddy's energy. Once all of his energy is sucked away, his body will explode and he will die."

As they were talking, A Jiang and other servants came in carrying wooden barrels filled with boiling, bubbling water.

"Miss, what next?"

"Just help Daddy in."

Ah Jiang was puzzled again, this water could scald people to death...

But seeing that Ruan Litian did not stop them, they continued to do as they were told and lifted Ruan Jue off the bed and put him into the wooden barrel.

Afterwards, Ruan Xihe put the herbs that A Jiang bought into the bucket little by little. After a circle of flame was attached to the outside of the bucket, he relaxed.

She now had time to answer Ruan Litian's previous question, "Grandpa, I know talismans because of that inheritance. Maybe it was hidden by a great man before his death, and I picked it up..."

Ruan Xihe picked out some words without blushing or beating her heart, and Ruan Litian nodded.

"He girl, you really suffered a lot..."

Her heart warmed, "Grandpa, if I tell you...what I'm going to do next will make you sad..."

Ruan Litian patted her shoulder and said, "Grandpa believes that you must have your reasons for what you want to do. Even though we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, Grandpa knows what kind of person you are. You don't have to worry about Grandpa, just do what you want to do!"

Ruan Xihe was speechless for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved...

"Grandpa, you should go and have a rest. So many things have happened since you came out of seclusion. The family competition will start in two days, and you will be busy then!"

"Father is fine for now. As for the fourth-grade elixir, I have my own way."

Ruan Litian was pushed out of the room by her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You girl..."

He took out a bag and handed it to her, "Grandpa knows you've suffered before, there are spirit stones and gold coins in here, take them."

Ruan Xihe was about to refuse, but Ruan Litian waved his hand.

"What aspect of life doesn't require money? Besides, you are a girl, so you should be pampered. Grandpa owed you before." Ruan Litian glanced inside the house, paused and said, "Also... your father's health cannot be rushed. Grandpa knows that fourth-grade elixirs are rare, but don't make yourself too tired, you still have to participate in the family competition..."

"I know, I know. Don't worry, Grandpa."

Ruan Xihe sent Ruan Litian out of Jingyuan with a smile, but when she returned to the room, her smile disappeared immediately. She closed the door and looked at Ajiang with a serious face.

"Demonic energy has always only existed in the demon world. What on earth happened to father?"

Ah Jiang looked confused, "Ah? Demonic energy?"

Seeing that he didn't know, Ruan Xihe asked him to repeat Ruan Jue's whereabouts over the past three years.

"The head of the family was going to go home two years ago, but I heard that the He family of Longyuan Country in Xizhou got a treasure called 'dragon bone'. If the dragon bone is replaced with the bones of a person who cannot practice cultivation, the person can develop a spiritual vein, but the dragon bone is useless to practitioners."

"So the He family launched the Dragon Bone Challenge. First, they will have a competition. The winner of the competition will be thrown into a dense forest. The first person to come out of the dense forest will get the dragon bone."

"After hearing the news, the head of the family rushed to Longyuan Country. In order to win the competition, he chose a desperate fighting style, which resulted in him suffering irreparable injuries. The head of the family was the first one to come out of the dense forest. He was so happy that he kept telling me that the young lady could finally practice. I was also very happy at the time, but..."

Ruan Xihe frowned, "But what?"

"But when we returned to the He family, the young master of the He family said that there was no such thing as 'dragon bones'. He just wanted to see the fun of us lowly people fighting for the treasure..."

"The head of the family didn't believe it and thought that he just didn't want to hand over the dragon bone, so he begged the young master of the He family for several days. The young master of the He family was annoyed by the noise, so he sent people to beat us up and destroyed the head of the family's Dantian..."

"It was Ah Jiang who was useless and failed to protect the master. Afterwards, I wanted to go and take revenge, but I felt that the master's health was more important, so I wanted to take the master home first. However, along the way, the master's health was getting worse and worse..."

Ruan Xihe felt a sharp pain in her heart and her eyes dimmed. After thinking for a moment, she patted A Jiang's shoulder and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. You have been running around for a long time for your father's affairs today. Go down and have a rest."

A Jiang looked at Ruan Jue reluctantly, then retreated with red eyes.

Ruan Xihe looked towards the wooden barrel, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his face.

"Longyuan Country, He Family..."
