I am a professional at killing time travelers

Zheng Qiu coughed lightly, and Xiao Tao looked up hurriedly. When she saw it was Zheng Qiu, a smile immediately appeared on her face again. She quickly turned her head and gently closed the door of the hall, then raised her cute little face and smiled foolishly at Zheng Qiu.

"Young Master! Come down quickly! Look what I brought you!"

Zheng Qiu saw the door of the main hall was closed, and he gently fell to the ground, then a frightened expression appeared on his face: "Miss Xiaotao, what are you carrying?"

Xiao Tao gently lifted the lid on the plate, and a tiger paw was lying on the plate, emitting bursts of golden light. "Tiger's Jade Foot! Come and eat it! I heard that this tiger is a cultivator in the Mahayana period, and there is a tendency of returning to the ancestors in his blood."

Zheng Qiu didn't care about his image and just picked up the tiger claw and started chewing it.

Xiao Tao asked Zheng Qiu with a smile: "Young Master! When will our princess wake up?"

Zheng Qiu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Tao: "Are you anxious?"

Xiao Tao waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no! Yesterday, the Imperial Study received a letter saying that General Murong will return to the capital in three days. His Majesty will host a banquet for all the generals in the palace. The Palace Master must attend the banquet!"

Zheng Qiu's consciousness swept over Zhou Mumu: "About the same! He will probably wake up soon!"

Xiao Tao quickly asked, "How fast?"

Zheng Qiu laughed: "You seem to care about her! If she wakes up quickly, she will wake up in a short while. If she wakes up slowly, it will take three to five days."

Xiao Tao paced anxiously in the palace. Zheng Qiu frowned and looked at Xiao Tao: "Does she have to go?"

Xiao Tao nodded slightly: "Princess, you must go. The Murong family has won a great victory over the Yue Kingdom this time, and His Majesty will give them some rewards. I heard that the eldest son of the Murong family is of marriageable age, so His Majesty will allow them to meet."

Zheng Qiu nodded: "Are there any rumors outside?"

Xiao Tao sighed slightly, "The palace has been in turmoil for the past few days. Yesterday, three powerful God Kings sneaked into the palace. If it weren't for the great formation guarding the palace, I'm afraid last night would have been a bloody night!"

Soon Zheng Qiu had eaten all the tiger claws in his hand, and even the tiger bones were chewed by Zheng Qiu with a crunching sound: "I asked if there were any rumors about her!"

Xiao Tao's eyes dimmed even more. "There are many rumors now, all kinds of rumors, but the two most popular ones are: the first is that the princess has a noble fate, and can achieve the supreme path by refining the cauldron! The second is that the princess is a goddess, and her offspring will surely become supreme beings. Some people say it is the pinnacle of cultivation, and some people say it is the pinnacle of power! Now the maids outside the bedroom of Her Royal Highness the Princess have been replaced, and it is said that there are also powerful God Kings waiting outside to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Zheng Qiu nodded: "This all makes sense! Oh, right! Help me find some books this time. I want stories about the destruction of the Jinluan clan!"

Xiao Tao looked at Zheng Qiu in confusion: "Young Master, don't you know about the battle between humans and demons?"

Zheng Qiu was stunned: "You know?"

Xiao Tao nodded: "Our Wu Kingdom also participated in the battle between humans and demons, and the troops of the Murong family were among those who went to kill the demons. We have no way of knowing the specifics, but people who experienced it personally should be able to know!"

Zheng Qiu nodded: "You are right, let me think of a way!"

Seeing that Zheng Qiu had finished eating the whole tiger paw, Xiao Tao hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped Zheng Qiu's greasy little hands. Zheng Qiu seemed to be thinking about something and did not struggle at all. Xiao Tao then wiped Zheng Qiu's little face, packed up the tray, and left the palace directly.

Zheng Qiu glanced at Xiao Tao's retreating figure, and in an instant he came to Zhou Mumu's bedside.

Zhou Mumu whimpered, frowned slightly, then opened her eyes and looked at Zheng Qiu: "How long have I slept!"

Zheng Qiu smiled and said, "It's only one night. Xiao Tao just packed up breakfast."

Zhou Mumu frowned slightly: "I'm so hungry! Please help me serve the food!"

Zheng Qiu shook his head: "No!"

Zhou Mumu looked puzzled: "Why?"

Zheng Qiu looked at Zhou Mumu and said, "Do you trust Xiaotao and Xiaomei?"

Zhou Mumu nodded slightly: "Of course I trust them. The three of us grew up together. I treat them as my sisters. It can be said that apart from my mother, they are the two closest people to me."

Zheng Qiu thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Tao came here today with a message. Three days later, your father will host a banquet in the palace to entertain the Murong family. At that time, you will be able to meet the young master of the Murong family."

Zhou Mumu's eyes rolled: "That's not right! How can my current identity match Murong Yan? Do you think this is some kind of conspiracy?"

Zheng Qiu shook his head: "I don't know. I wanted Xiao Tao to help me check some information today, but I felt that she was trying to induce me to get close to the Murong family."

Zhou Mumu smiled helplessly: "What news do you want to know? There are many things that require me to borrow in person. She is just a maid. What do you want her to know? You are just too thoughtful! Can't you be simple?"

Zheng Qiu suddenly realized: "Yes! She is just a maid! How could I have forgotten this!"

Zhou Mumu smiled brightly at Zheng Qiu's expression: "Haha! Then tell me what you want to know?"

Zheng Qiu said directly: "The Jinluan clan!"

Zhou Mumu frowned slightly: "A war between humans and demons? I know very little about this matter!"

"Just tell me what you know!"

Zhou Mumu pretended to be angry: "Hey! I just woke up! Don't you care about the skills I got? Besides, I haven't eaten yet! Don't you care if I'm hungry?"

Zheng Qiu looked at him like a fool: "No matter what you say, you are still a fairy! How can you starve to death?"

Zhou Mumu's expression was full of resentment and a hint of amusement: "I'll arrange a marriage for you!"

Zheng Qiu looked at Zhou Mumu in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"I don't think you'll ever be able to find a wife if you're like this!"

Zheng Qiu was speechless: "Let's talk about the battle between humans and demons first!"

Zhou Mumu stopped joking with Zheng Qiu and started to tell the story.

It turns out that this continent is the Tianshu Continent, which is mainly distributed with four directions of cultivation, namely Taoism, Buddhism, demons and monsters. Taoism is mainly based on meditation, and mountains, rivers and plants can all be included in Taoism. Buddhism focuses on cultivating merit and mental strength.

Most of the demon cultivators cultivate their true nature, while the strongest demons use evil to enter the Tao, and nothing in the world is unkillable.

Because of the different cultivation concepts, the four major systems are distributed in the four directions of Tianshu Continent. The east is Taoism, the west is Buddhism, the north is monsters, and the south is demons. The main reason for the war between humans and monsters is the appearance of a divine essence mine on the dividing line between humans and monsters.

The divine spirit is similar to the spiritual stone in the lower world, and its main functions are trading and assisting cultivation.

According to preliminary exploration, the reserves of this mineral vein exceed any known mineral deposits, and can even rapidly increase the strength of one of the forces. In the original plan, the gods and humans representing the Tao would fight against the demons, but there was a problem!

The God-man race has its own power, and the four major empires all want to monopolize the divine essence mineral vein, which has led to chaos among humans before the war even started.

The four great empires required their dynasties to expand outward and attack each other, and the Murong family was the army sent by the Wu Dynasty, while the demon clan was attacked by Western Buddhist forces.

The battle between humans and demons was about to break out, but for some reason it suddenly stopped.

All those who participated in the war kept silent after returning, and no one revealed a single thing even if their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated.
