lp transcend Don't be naive." He chuckled and pressed my lower back lightly —"Oh…" I quickly covered my mouth."Don't stop, even pretending has to be convincing. Hum a few tunes, scare away the little...As soon as I heard it was clothes worn by the dead, I didn't even think about it and just brushed it aside.

This is awfully unlucky, there's even a pattern on this fabric, it looks so delicate, and it's actually a shroud!

Mu Wanchen squatted down, holding me, and picked up the fabric. As we walked out, he sniffed it and said in a low voice, "This fabric has the smell of death. It must have been brought here for a reason."

"...Have there been any deaths here recently" I asked, frowning. "Although this place is vast, it shouldn't be difficult to check for recent deaths, right"

"It's not difficult, I can quickly find out where this fabric comes from." Mu Wanchen furrowed his brow deeply: "Let's send the medicine powder over immediately, and then I need to come back and check."

“I’ll just go deliver the medicine. You stay here, alright I feel a little creeped out. What if something came to the Guiling place with a shroud…” I rubbed my arms, goosebumps popping up all over.

"First, you pack the medicine powder. I'll be back soon. Without me, how will you go back to deliver the medicine Fool," he pinched my face and walked out of the giant stone passage.

Mu Wanchen called her husband forth. This four-legged divine beast gently bowed its head and nudged my palm with its snout.

"The guards will take you back, and you'll come down from the cliff top. You know the way back to the palace, don't you" Mu Wanchen tightened my cloak.

Of course I know... There are stairs winding down there, how could I not know.

"Be good, I'm going to check on something. I'll be right back." His expression was grave, and I didn't dare interrupt. I could only nod in understanding.

And the creatures carrying me walked slowly through the forest. It is said that wherever this divine beast appears, a great flood will occur. However, in Wushi Mountain City for all these years, there has only been the flowing river below, and there have been no serious floods.

It seems that myths and legends can also be biased and inaccurate.

"Fuzhu, have you been staying here for many, many years" I asked, hugging Fuzhu's neck.

When all of them gave out very soft cries, as if answering me.

It is a divine beast and should be able to understand human speech, but it seems unwilling to speak.

“Fu Zhu, how many Peach Blossom Groves throughout history have been able to hide from the world for thousands of years Resources always run out one day, people always die and are reborn, there will always be times when things change…” I rolled my eyes, hugging Fu Zhu as I spoke to myself.

Survival of the fittest.

This is the law by which living beings exist in the world and never perish.

Why not have some young people leave the monastery and experience life outside for a while They could come live with me, help out with chores, and get accustomed to society. After they adjust, they can gradually influence more people and make them less resistant to the outside world.

I had this idea in mind, but it's not easy to implement. Firstly, my family couldn't suddenly have a bunch of "ghost accounts". If the police came knocking, we wouldn't know what to say.

Moreover, my home can't accommodate that many people. A few dozen would be alright, but if hundreds came, even a wealthy household would be drained.

This can only be a beautiful thought, not very realistic.

When all the generals brought me to the cliff, there was a way out leading to the outside world. The guards guarding the gate saw me from afar and immediately bowed to me.

"What does the Princess command" they asked, their accents thick.

"It's nothing, I just came back from there."

“......What kind of mount is that” they eyed Fu Zhu with suspicion and wariness.

When all the figures were tall and imposing, it crouched low, allowing me to climb down its back. Then, without looking back, it ran into the dense forest.

"This is the pet given to me by the Shaman King. You all should stay away from it in the future and don't disturb it." I said.

"Yes, yes... Are you going back to the palace now, Your Highness We'll escort you a distance." said the guard.

I didn't need them to deliver anything, so I refused directly and then went to the cliff edge to brush aside the vines and look at my own name.

This was inscribed here by Master, the Great Emperor himself. The more I look at it, the more I like it—it's probably fate that brought us together, which is why I'm now in a honey pot, completely dazzled by Mu Wanchen's "tender love" day and night.

As I made my way down the cliff, before I even returned to the palace grounds, I saw two large ships rushing downstream from upstream on the wide river below.

The large ship, with the tribal flags fluttering high above it, sailed on, its sails billowing like arrows launched from a bow.

And at the prow of the great ship stood a company of fully armed Sisi clan women, among whom was one richly dressed and wearing a grand and conspicuous golden headdress.

Si Huang How did she get here

I ran all the way back to the room. Lian Long had already personally checked the weight of each small package of herbs and wrapped them individually with paper along with Lian Chuling.

"The little princess is back, where's the toad secretion" Lian Long asked me.

I passed him the bamboo tube containing the poison and said, “Doctor Lianlong, please take care. I have something to attend to and will be going down first.”

"What's the matter, Your Highness You don't need to do it yourself, just tell the maids to do it." Lianlong frowned in puzzlement: "You haven't been back often. There are probably still some people in Wuzhishan City who have never seen you with their own eyes. If someone reckless offends you, and the Wuzhi King punishes them, this might cause jealousy and displeasure among certain people."

"The doctor's right, I will pay attention to it... But since I see Si Huang has arrived, I'll go ask her what's up and be back soon." I gave a simple explanation and dashed downstairs.

The lower levels are all residential buildings and structures, it seems that the people who live higher up have a higher status.

I ran all the way to the pier by the river. Si Huang's boat was docking, and when she saw me on the deck, she leaped up and jumped straight down from the high deck, running towards me.

"You, what are you going to do!" I stopped in my tracks in fright.

"Where's Da Wu Wang" Si Huang glanced at my back, but there was no sign of Mu Wan Chen.

"He's busy dealing with something, why did you come looking for him in such a hurry" I replied unpleasantly.

This guy, he actually opened his mouth and the first thing he said was to ask Mu Wanchen.

Si Huang wore a golden half-face mask, but it couldn't hide the worry between her brows and eyes. She waved at me and said, "Let's find a place suitable for talking. It's too crowded and noisy here."

"Should I tell you, or should I tell Mu Wanchen"

Si Huang glanced at me: "Considering the Great Shaman King's fondness for you, telling you is pretty much the same as telling him. Get to the point, I haven't got time to waste here."

Damn, are you just wasting my time by talking to me

"Come on, let's go to the palace," I said, pointing at the buildings above.

Si Huang sent all her attendants away, and only she followed me up. I soon led her to the main hall, which was a better place for talking.

She unceremoniously sat in the guest seat at the head, and said to me, “ …You’ve been spending all day with the Great Shaman. Have you heard him say anything”

He talked my ear off, and I have no idea which way you're going with this… Be specific, don’t beat around the bush or play coy, wasting time. I have to get back and save people! I plopped down on the King of Witches’ throne, not caring one bit about propriety.

Si Huang was taken aback, furrowing her brows. "It seems you haven't heard anything... I can't even be sure if my premonition is completely accurate..."

"Premonition What did you get a premonition of" I asked, frowning.

Si Huang let out a barely perceptible sigh. "Diviner, diviner, I wonder if the Great Shaman feels like me, sensing some unusual energy. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen in the future—"r""This is self-deprecation, do you understand Self-deprecation! I'm definitely not some delicate flower, those delicate flowers are your admirers! Look at them, they get a little jealous and want to...
