Xiyu Nation's border city, Imperial City.
Feng Xin Yan's face was so pale that she looked like a ghost that had crawled out of hell. The sweat on her forehead dripped down her nose and onto the ground. Her eyelids drooped weakly, and her long eyelashes cast a beautiful shadow on her eye bags. Her lips were dry and cracked, as if she hadn't drunk water for a few days and nights. Her footsteps were shaky, as if she would fall if she touched it.
Under the scorching sun, her condition became very bad.
In fact, Feng Xinyan and Little Yuan had been separated for three days. In these three days, Feng Xinyan had not eaten a single thing. She had only drunk a few mouthfuls of water to satisfy her hunger. For some reason, after Feng Xinyan left Little Yuan and the others, she seemed to have lost her soul. She did not have any mood to act. It was as if she could not survive without someone by her side.
However, walking alone on the road was like walking in a deep forest. It always felt desolate. Feng Xinyan herself did not know why she had decided to turn around and leave at that moment. She was no longer willing to let Little Yuan follow her. Perhaps it was because he had concealed the Cang Ge matter, which could also cause harm to him, or perhaps…he didn't want him to go into danger with him.
That was indeed the case. She was afraid that he would get hurt. She didn't want to bring him back to exchange for Feng Qianwei, but she had to save Feng Qianwei and Chu Junqi, so she had to become stronger. As for that Cang Ge... Since they said that the two of them could take care of each other, then he shouldn't hurt Little Yuan, right?
However, she felt like she was back in the palace when she was alone on this journey. When you were alone, no one around you could understand you. No one could trust you. You had to do what you had to do. This feeling was too terrifying and suffocating.
Feng Xin Yan raised her eyes that were drooping due to her helplessness. She looked at the passageway that was filled with people's voices. She looked at the plaque hanging high above her head that read " Imperial City ". She knew that she had finally arrived at this damned place.
In this place, she had to find a way to sneak into the palace and then use her wits and spells to help the Third Prince ascend the throne and get rid of that witch. However, the scariest thing was that Chu Junqi and Feng Qianwei had come with her. They had a high chance of winning, but if she was alone, it would be difficult for her to sneak into the palace.
Feng Xin Yan blinked her eyes and wiped away the excess sweat on her face. She licked her dry lips and weighed the little silver in her pocket. She did not choose to enter the city. Since she didn't have much money on her, then she shouldn't spend any more money. She might need money to build some connections when she chose to enter the city tomorrow.
Suddenly, Feng Xin Yan's stomach let out a rumbling sound, causing her to laugh uncontrollably. She said self-mockingly,""Seriously, I've been in a bad mood for the past two days and have tortured you badly. Let's talk about it tomorrow.”
After saying that, Feng Xin Yan raised her head and glanced at the plaque that said 'Imperial City'. She turned around and walked towards the forest that she had passed by. That place would be a good place to stay tonight.
A moment after Feng Xin Yan left, two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the city gate. Three cute black silk worms floated beside them. They were Little Yuan and Cang Ge, who Feng Xin Yan had abandoned three days ago.
When Little Yuan saw that Feng Xinyan's background was about to disappear from his sight, she wanted to chase after her, but she was quickly stopped by Cang Ge, who was standing at the side with a helpless smile. Little Yuan pushed Cang Ge's hand away angrily. His small fists were tightly clenched. The anger he had endured for three days finally erupted. He roared at Cang Ge, who was more than a head taller than him,"Why won't you let me see her! Three days! We're clearly beside her! Watching her torture herself like this! If you don't feel heartache, I will!"
Cang Ge looked speechlessly at Little Yuan's angry expression and patted her little head."Are you stupid? Your sister Xinyan abandoned you that day. She must have ignored you when she saw you today, okay? We just need to let her know that we're by her side and hope that she won't abuse her body. Isn't that good?”
Little Yuan shook her head in confusion. She did not understand what Cang Ge was talking about. She only knew that he had caused her to lose Feng Xinyan's chance. He did not know when it started, but Little Yuan had already treated Feng Xinyan as her family. He did not want to see Feng Xinyan like this.
He knew why Feng Xin Yan was like this. It was because she was afraid. It was too lonely to walk on such a journey alone. Feng Xin Yan had told Little Yuan what she was going to do on this trip, so this journey was very difficult. Feng Xin Yan had chosen to abandon him because she was afraid that this journey would be too dangerous. He also knew that Feng Xin Yan was not prepared to hand him over to Cang Xiao.
How could he not worry about such a family? Although Little Yuan still looked like a child, she was already in her fifties. Therefore, when he saw Feng Xinyan like this, his heart ached.
"What should I do?" Little Yuan raised her small head and looked at Cang Ge with anticipation. She hoped that he could say a good way to let her see Feng Xinyan from a place where she could not see her and stop her from abusing her.
Cang Ge held his chin and looked in the direction Feng Xin Yan had left. Suddenly, he turned around to look at the bustling city behind him and smiled. Cang Ge took Little Yuan's hand and stuffed the three black silk worms back into his ears before walking into the Imperial City.
When Little Yuan saw the direction the Cang Ge had gone, she immediately began to struggle free. She was a little annoyed that she had trusted this man whom she had only met for a few days. He should go and find Feng Xin Yan himself now, and stay by her side no matter what.
"Let go of me! I'll go find her myself!" Little Yuan had the body of a child. When he could not break free from the Cang Ge, he once again recognized this point.
Cang Ge helplessly dragged Little Yuan into the city and explained to him with good intentions,"We can't let that silly woman starve, nor can we let her catch a cold in the forest. So, let's buy a blanket and some food before we go find her, okay?”
Little Yuan stopped struggling and looked at Cang Ge in confusion."Didn't you say that I can't look for her?”
"Stupid! We can look at her from afar, okay?”Cang Ge shook his head in despair. He really didn't know how Feng Xinyan had endured this cute and naive child for so long.
Little Yuan shook her head and looked at Cang Ge's disdainful expression. She looked at him blankly.
Cang Ge silently sighed and didn't say anything else.，He just pulled Little Yuan into the city.
In the forest outside the Imperial City.
Feng Xin Yan had just walked into the forest when she felt a little strange. It was clearly a cold winter, so why was the forest so warm?
Feng Xin Yan, who had a vague feeling that something was not right, decided to leave this strange place and spend the night in another place after walking a hundred feet into the forest. For some reason, the deeper she went into the forest, the warmer Feng Xin Yan felt. It was also because of this strange situation that Feng Xin Yan's footsteps became faster and faster as she left the forest.
Just as Feng Xin Yan followed the path she came from and walked out of the forest, a black figure appeared in front of her. Feng Xin Yan's hair stood on end almost instantly. She did not feel any aura. That person clearly did not exist before, but in the blink of an eye, he stood there without any movement.
No matter if he was a human, a demon, or a god, as long as he came, he would have a presence. A person without a presence might be…a ghost? If it was a ghost, then this ghost's cultivation must be very high. To be able to appear silently and make Feng Xinyan unable to sense any aura from his body, how high was the cultivation of a person to be able to completely hide his aura without revealing anything?
The most terrifying thing was that the sun had not yet set. What kind of ghost could appear under the sun? Thinking of this, Feng Xin Yan could not help but shiver.
However, she made a fatal mistake. She did not recognize the enemy at the beginning and misclassified them.
"Who are you? This little girl is just passing by, I don't want to steal your territory, can you make way for me?”Although Feng Xin Yan had seen those terrifying monsters before, this was the first time she had seen a creature like a ghost. A girl was really afraid of such a creature.
Especially now, Feng Xin Yan did not have the strength to fight at all. It was already her greatest ability to stand in front of this creature without trembling.
That strange black shadow stood there for a moment, not speaking or moving, as if it was just standing there and quietly staring at Feng Xin Yan. Feng Xin Yan could not stand anymore. She felt that she was about to collapse. She had not eaten properly for a few days, causing her to lose a lot of strength.
Feng Xin Yan just stood there, facing the strange black shadow. Her footsteps had already started to tremble, and the sweat on her forehead slowly dripped into her eyes, causing her to blink. The moment she blinked, the black shadow let out a surprised cry and then completely disappeared from Feng Xin Yan's sight.
She did not know how the black shadow disappeared, but Feng Xin Yan could no longer hold on. She staggered a step and fell powerlessly into the weeds. The last of her consciousness was in the sunlight that shone through the mottled shadows of the trees. Looking at the faint sunlight, she suddenly smiled and slowly closed her eyes.
She was tired, so could he just let her rest for a while?
What Feng Xin Yan did not know was that the reason why the forest became hotter the closer it got to the center was because there was a hot spring in the center of the forest. It was a naturally formed hot spring, and the warm water source inside was the best place to heal. The naked woman in the hot spring was Feng Qianwei, who was imprisoned by Cang Xiao!
Beside the hot spring, a black shadow stood quietly.
