Magical Cave (first update) The next people Xia Chujian saw were the Chief Imperial Physician and his team.
These people had helped her tremendously when the Dog Emperor had tried to force a confession out of her.
It could be said that more than half of her little life was owed to the Chief Imperial Physician's help back then.
She could not repay kindness with ingratitude.
Xia Chujian pursed her lips. It seemed that this time, she most likely would not be able to kill the Dog Emperor.
Fortunately, she had only intended to scout things out first.
Although she might not have such a good opportunity again in the future.
Then it would depend on whether the Dog Emperor's life was tougher, or whether her luck was better...
Xia Chujian followed behind the two representatives while invisible. As they exchanged pleasantries with the others, she found an opening and silently slipped into the inner room first.
She moved so quickly that she stirred a faint current of air.
Someone sensed it and instinctively looked around, but saw nothing. They assumed they were simply too tense and being overly suspicious.
Xia Chujian darted into the room and edged forward step by step, trying to approach the medical cabin where the Dog Emperor lay.
But once inside, she discovered that a row of Royal Inner Guard were guarding the Dog Emperor's medical cabin at close range.
In other words, a dense row of "human shields" stood pressed right against the medical cabin's carapace.
To touch the medical cabin, she would have to step over their corpses!
Xia Chujian was so furious that her teeth ground together.
Was this also the Dog Emperor's usual tactic?! He really was terrified of death! Though she knew she could not make a move this time,
