The Empress looked at Nian Shutong rallying troops, feeling compelled to step forward.
"Blue Star is fine, my grandson is still here."
"But, Nian Shutong, take it easy, you can't end up like the Nian Family, unable to handle the aftermath."
Mounted on her horse, Nian Shutong nodded amiably and said, "Don't worry, it won't come to that."
The Empress fell silent for a moment and ultimately took a few steps back, unsure whether to believe Nian Shutong's words.
However, it seemed impossible to stop her now.
"Aunt, go for it!"
"Dou Dou at home made a wish, Aunt and everyone will come back safely, them too!"
Dou Dou's little fingers pointed at the beasts like Little Pink Pig, his serious little face imbuing a sense of tension.
"Alright, thank you Dou Dou, wait for the Aunt to come back."
Standing high up, Nian Shutong addressed everyone below, and even the whole of Blue Star could hear her voice.
"We of Blue Star, have never feared anyone."
