Tie Yi, after listening to Duan Gujin's analysis, only then realized that her master had thought of everything that could possibly happen in the future. She suddenly felt that Duan Gujin was incredibly insightful and far-sighted.

"Master, I really admire you!"

Tie Yi said with a faint smile.

Duan Gujin glanced at Tie Yi, his eyelids fluttering up and down, and he suddenly asked, "Tie Yi, can you let me take a look at your Xingyu Clan's body? I want to know what's different between you and our Human Clan!"

"You!"

Tie Yi's pretty face instantly flushed with color; she hadn't expected her master to make such an impolite request of her.

Her pretty face turned even redder as she said with some shyness, "Master, do you want me to serve you?"

As soon as he heard the word "serve," Duan Gujin knew that Tie Yi had completely misunderstood.

He quickly explained, "Tie Yi, you misunderstand me. Take off your outer clothes and keep your underwear on; I just want to know the differences between the Xingyu Clan and our Human Clan, that's all."

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Tie Yi nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then took off her outer clothes of her own accord.

Duan Gujin then began to examine her body. After a while, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"I know what's going on now!"

After examining Tie Yi's body, Duan Gujin came to a conclusion.

From appearances, the Xingyu Clan has an additional pair of wings compared to the Human Clan, but they can tuck their wings away and hide them from others simply by circulating the Primordial Power within their bodies.

But in fact, the internal structure of the Xingyu Clan is also quite different from that of the Human Clan.

Because they have fed on plants that are highly toxic to the Human Clan for many years, they possess a strong resistance to poison within their bodies.

Although Duan Gujin had only briefly examined Tie Yi's body, he had already figured out its condition.

Tie Yi's body had a strong resistance to poison, so if he wanted to use drugs to make the Queen become his second slave, it was likely to be impossible.

Unless the Queen, like Tie Yi before being controlled by him, had been severely injured by an enemy, which weakened her Spiritual Power, only then might he be able to control her.

If the Queen was not severely injured and her internal resistance to poison was strong, and Duan Gujin wanted to use drugs or poison to deal with her, it would probably be ineffective.

After redressing, a deep sense of disappointment flashed through Tie Yi's heart.

Previously, she had been very worried that Duan Gujin harbored improper thoughts towards her and had thought that if he ever decided to force himself upon her, she would choose to die with him.

But today, after she saw that Duan Gujin had detonated the Hua Hun Clan's volcano range—surely causing them significant losses—she had already given her heart to him.

In her heart, Duan Gujin was a hero.

Before, she thought she had caught the attention of a hero, but to her surprise, after he had only observed her body for a while, he asked her to put her clothes back on.

"What does this mean? Does he despise me?"

A feeling of cold despair flashed through Tie Yi's heart; she felt that Duan Gujin's previous conduct had greatly injured her self-esteem.

Duan Gujin did not realize that because of his recent act of destroying the Hua Hun Clan's tribe, she had completely surrendered to him.

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath, contemplating how to compel the Xingyu Clan's Queen to surrender to him.

After ensuring that the Human Warriors were safe, he and Tie Yi made their way to the border where the Xingyu Clan and the Hua Hun Clan were at war.

Duan Gujin's current goal was to observe the Hua Hun Clan's every move, as he surmised they would definitely take some action.

The Hua Hun Clan was now faced with only two choices: a swift battle - to disregard the complete destruction of their stronghold and have all their troops rally to assault the Star Feather Tribe's main nest.

The Hua Hun Clan's stronghold was already reduced to ashes, leaving them with no avenue for retreat.

Duan Gujin was not the prophet of Yan Tianguan, unable to predict whether the enemy would opt to retreat.

What if Yan Tianguan had already prepared a strategy to overcome the Star Feather Tribe in advance?

In that case, Yan Tianguan would be even less likely to consider retreating.

Should Yan Tianguan actually retreat, then the Hua Hun Clan would be incapable of contending with the Star Feather Tribe for at least decades to come, and might even face the threat of annihilation.

Unable to discern how many backup plans Yan Tianguan had, Duan Gujin could not accurately predict whether the enemy would withdraw or continue the attack; thus, he decided to observe a while longer before concluding.

Given the current situation, Duan Gujin was also not inclined to let Tie Yi go back and inform the Queen of the actual circumstances.

Even if Tie Yi had a direct audience with the Queen, Duan Gujin was convinced she would not believe Tie Yi's words.

Since the Queen would undoubtedly distrust Tie Yi's account, there was no point in making her seek such disheartening news.

Tie Yi, who was equally anxious as Duan Gujin, also yearned to know if Yan Tianguan would order a retreat.

Yet, observing that the Hua Hun Clan's forces remained inactive, showing neither intention to attack nor signs of withdrawal, she was sincerely puzzled about their actual intentions.

Of course, she dearly hoped Yan Tianguan would opt for retreat, especially after the Star Feather Tribe had endured heavy losses in previous battles; she genuinely did not wish to witness any more casualties among her tribe.

In reality, she was aware that even if she conveyed this potentially tremendous news to the Queen, the Queen would surely dismiss her words, likely suspecting her of being bribed by Duan Gujin.

At this point, she found herself in a difficult position, and could only pray that Duan Gujin would triumph over the Hua Hun Clan – at the very least, to eliminate a portion of them and contribute to the Star Feather Tribe's struggle.

Time ticked away incrementally.

Two days later, they witnessed the Hua Hun Clan's forces retreating, prompting them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fantastic! The Hua Hun Clan has finally retreated!"

Tie Yi, unable to contain herself, planted a kiss on Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin looked back at Tie Yi with a bizarre expression, recognizing full well that she previously hated him to the bone, wishing to perish alongside him.

He then quickly realized the reason behind her sudden change of heart.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend!

Prior to this, Duan Gujin had led her to annihilate the Hua Hun Clan's stronghold, severely damping their morale.

Had Yan Tianguan of the Hua Hun Clan commanded a full-on attack upon learning of the destruction of their stronghold, Duan Gujin would have found Yan Tianguan truly formidable, admiring his decisive decision-making capability.

Had Yan Tianguan chosen to retreat, Duan Gujin would have deemed his strategy correct too.

Indeed, for the Hua Hun Clan, overcoming the Star Feather Tribe would render the loss of their stronghold inconsequential.

However, if their operation were to fail, the Hua Hun Clan might face extinction as a result.
