k about children; we don't have the energy to even think about it anymore."I can also see that both of you are successful people, your conditions are definitely better than ours. Even so, we haven't t..."I understand the rules!"

The stone mill smiled and promised.

At this moment, Lianyi, who was practicing calligraphy, heard a familiar voice:

"Ripples, I found you!"

Liàn Yī put down her brush, and only then did she communicate with the other party in her mind:

"It's much faster than I expected. I thought I'd have to wait until my dying day! So in this realm, I diligently cultivate my inner strength, striving for a longer life."

Upon hearing the ripples' unchanging tone of speech, Shiju finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you're quick-witted and didn't use your soul form to float around. Otherwise, by the time I found you, who knows what kind of situation you'd be in!"

"When I was brought to this interface, I wasn't sure what it was. Just in case it was like the previous one, where a master took me in as a stray soul, I happened upon a woman who was about to die. She could see me and begged me to save her newborn daughter. So, I made a temporary contract with her."

Ripple recounted all the important experiences that led her here, and finally asked:

"Haven't I disturbed this plane"

"No, you unwittingly helped my tasker."

Another female voice reached Lian Ri's ears, and her eyebrows twitched. She immediately heard Shi Ju explain:

"This is Qinxing, the communicator for this ramen mission. I'm contacting you through her channel."

"Thank you!"

Ripples smiled and thanked.

"Didn't expect you to unexpectedly enter the mission space I'm in charge of, but you have good taste. You chose to be an aspect of my tasker's mission, and you inadvertently gave him a boost."

"Is there anything else I need to do"

"No, you can just stay as you are. He'll handle the rest."

"Okay, I understand."

Then, the communication between the three parties ended.

The ripples of worry in her heart subsided. What she had told the stone mill before wasn't entirely a joke. Shortly after she used her internal energy to help Wang Kun reorganize his body, she successfully broke through to the ninth level of the XNv Xuan Gong. Her current martial arts prowess should be the ceiling of this realm.

Xiangyi Princess looked at her increasingly beautiful face in the mirror and was very satisfied with Huo Mian.

After all, she was already forty years old. These past few years had been tormenting her with the scars on her face, leaving her looking withered and aged. Now that her facial scars have completely healed, she seems to have blossomed into a second youth.

She had returned to the peak of her beauty at eighteen, and with the passage of time, she was even more confident and charming.

Has Xiaoqi received the message

"Received, and already replied. Will come to meet the princess."

The emperor's personal guard, tasked with protecting Xiangyi, bowed and said.

"I'll rest for a while in the village ahead, freshen up a bit, and then rejoin them."

Yes, princess!

After the guards bowed, they made a hand gesture and then went to a nearby village to rest.

Because Huo Mian was favored by Xiang Yi, he lived alone in a room. For convenience, no one was assigned to wait on him.

Although Xiangyi was hurrying as much as he could, it was nothing to him. As long as he didn't have to see the princess during his rest breaks, he would take the opportunity to study the medical texts he had copied from the Imperial Medical Bureau library.

"Imperial Physician Huo, are you busy Lunch is ready!"

At this time, someone knocked on Huo Mian's door.

"Come in!"

A person pushed open the door, brought in a breakfast tray and a note, then walked out with the tray.

Ho Mian first glanced at the note, his eyes flickered, then he tore up the note and slowly started eating his lunch.

After midday, Xiangyi's troop set off again. As they entered the central region of Longxi, Qiqi and his men were already waiting there for a long time.

Qiqiao urged his horse forward, stepping closer to Xiangyi and speaking through the carriage curtain:

"Princess, I have found the treasure. To ensure your safety, please do not reveal your identity for now. Please follow me to where the treasure is stored."

Xiangyi heard this, her heart leaped with joy. She immediately lifted the car window curtain and looked out at Qiqi. Her eyes were filled with infatuation as she smiled and said:

"Your Majesty has entrusted me to join forces with you to ensure the treasure's safe return to the Imperial City. Everything will proceed as planned, and my people will cooperate with you as much as possible."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."

Qi Qi lowered her head and curtsied. When she looked up, she met the other person's gaze, which made her feel nauseous. However, as their eyes swept across her face, she noticed that the other person's wounds had healed completely, and they were even more beautiful than before.

Only inside the carriage did he see another familiar face, and immediately frowned.

Xiangyi deliberately let Qiqi see the person in her car, and she was very satisfied with his expression. She smiled seductively and said:

"I'll take care of the people around me, you lead the way ahead!"

"Yes!"

Qi Qi glanced at the other party one more time before urging her horse forward. She rode to the front of the line and, leading Xiang Yi's troops, headed straight for the Wang family mansion.

Wang Yaohui had received the message long ago, instructing the guards to set up an ambush in preparation for any possible developments. Afterward, he invited Wu, Wang Zhenzhen, and Lianyi to sit in the courtyard and await the arrival of their guests.

Xiangyi's good mood continued all the way until she entered the Wang family mansion, where then Xiao Shu helped her down from the carriage.

Liàn Yī watched as Xiào Shū got out of the car with Fú Xiāngyí, a sarcastic smile playing at the corner of her mouth. It seemed Wāng Méiměi had already been dumped by him. After all, she was no longer useful to him. She just wondered how he managed to get close to Princess Xiāngyí.

After Xiangyi stepped out of the carriage, she frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased. Xiao Shu, being quite perceptive, took a step forward and said:

"Seeing the princess's carriage, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects"

"We are ignorant and have never seen a princess, so we don't know if it's true or false. Why should we kneel"

Mrs. Wu looked at the person before her, the one who had killed her daughter and son-in-law, her voice as cold as ice.

"Be bold!!!"

"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak, you male pet who serves with his looks!"

Ms. Wu directly interrupted Xiao Shu's words, infuriating the other party to the point of turning blue.

"Tsk tsk, such a carefree young master refusing to stay that way and going off to be someone's male pet instead. Wang Meimei must really have her eyes blind, I guess you forgot what I said before."

Ripple also softly spoke up, but it was aimed at Xiao Shu.

Xiao Shu let out a cruel smile and said to Xiang Yi beside her:

"Princess, she is a disciple of the Su Nü Palace, having cultivated the Su Nü Profound Technique for eternal youth."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiangyi's attention was immediately drawn. Six years ago, she had returned from the Su Nu Palace with broken wings, all for that very skill. Looking at the beautiful woman in red before her, a spark of hatred ignited in her eyes, and she said coldly:

"It seems like I'm going to get my wish today! Qiqi, bring her here!"

Xiang Yi didn't notice when she ordered others around, but after they entered the Wang family mansion, the gate silently closed behind them. The guards beside her stood straight and still, and Qi Qi, whom she had commanded, stood motionless with his hands bound after dismounting, saying nothing.

"Are you deaf Didn't you hear my command!"

Xiangyi growled angrily.

"Xiangyi, six years ago I spared your life because of your princess status. Today, that's no longer the case!"ter's health improves, then she would kick you out.""Oh Is that so"The ripples weren't at all surprised, they did this in their past lives."Don't worry, master. How could Doudou let them succeed I add...
