The Yao Ri Country has been captured by the MC! Now it's time to move onto capturing the Strong Country and save her mom from the Shang Guan family (Totally just making this up, I have no idea).
Apparently, I have not read enough XianXia stories, but I do hope we get to see more of the doctor deeds. Albeit this romance confession-denial tug-of-war is fun too
Was really surprised by their ages! MC is only 16 and lord hell 25. Both seem a bit older.
Of course MC is going to see her mother, and high chance of rescue unless her mother was married off - officially, despite being "unclean".
mc: ok father, i accept your mission
father: wait, what?
mc: i will concquer that country and bring mother back
father: but i said you shoiuld not...
mc: i'm on my way, bye...
Honestly he doesn't know her well enough yet if he thinks she'll keep her nose out of it for even a second.
(Which TBH is fair, that he's still making some assumptions based on the previous years of his daughter's life instead of this radical new incarnation)
