Princess Yubing shook her head. "We can't find them. However, some people have seen those missing faces appear on other occasions. But all signs indicate that the sorcerer has replaced their faces with those of the demons."

“My cousin, if you know anything else, you can tell me.”

Song Xiwei found it increasingly absurd.

I've never heard of such a monster in recent years. If it can cause so much bloodshed without anyone noticing, the Heavenly Court must have taken it seriously.

Humans have their own laws, and those above will not turn a blind eye to the rampant evil of demons in the lower realms.

The Demon Realm is under the jurisdiction of the Demon King, but because the Demon King had a kinship ties with the Heavenly Court in the past, the Heavenly Court has always taken the opportunity to quell some of the chaos in the Demon Realm. This is an unspoken understanding between the two realms.

If the demonic path originates from the demon realm, the celestial realm will detect it and dispatch a celestial deity, or at the very least, notify the demon realm to settle the matter.

However, the chaos in this prosperous country has been going on for quite some time, and the Heavenly Court has taken no action, nor has the Demon Realm heard a word about it.

Song Xiwei found it very strange, as everything about it seemed eerie.

"I might still know something, but I'm hungry. When I'm hungry, I can't remember anything. Cousin Crown Prince, could you have a meal with me? I've been alone lately, and I've been so scared and anxious that I've become haggard..."

Princess Yubing reached out and hugged Song Xiwei's arm.

Song Xiwei could feel Princess Yubing affectionately hugging her arm and carefully massaging it upwards. She couldn't tell if Princess Yubing was too excited or searching for something on her arm.

Song Xiwei felt uncomfortable being pinched and pulled her hand away.

"Let's eat something together then."

Song Xiwei spoke slightly to order the meal.

Meng Shu was, after all, the crown prince. Although the sorcerer had taken control of the Sheng Kingdom, the crown prince had not been deposed and was still entitled to the treatment he deserved.

Soon a sumptuous feast was served.

Song Xiwei and Princess Yubing sat opposite each other.

Princess Yubing's eyes kept glancing at Song Xiwei through the food.

In comparison, Song Xiwei seemed to be the more tempting presence than the food.

Song Xiwei naturally sensed that this princess was unusual.

But she didn't say anything, she just ate with the princess in a friendly manner.

The meal didn't last long. After finishing her meal, Song Xiwei asked about the demonic path again.

The princess suddenly spoke up, saying, "If it weren't for that incident with the sorcerer, my marriage to my cousin, the Crown Prince, wouldn't have been put on hold. Alas, with so many things happening now, I don't know what our future holds..."

Princess Yubing burst into tears as she spoke, looking utterly pitiful and vulnerable.

Song Xiwei never expected that this person was Meng Shu's fiancée.

Seeing Princess Yubing crying so pitifully, they couldn't just sit idly by.

She handed Princess Yubing a handkerchief, "Don't cry. Didn't I tell you? I found a master to help, and the evil cultivator will be subdued. Everything will be alright."

"Really?" Princess Yubing held a handkerchief, wiping away her tears while staring into Song Xiwei's eyes.

Just as Song Xiwei was about to respond, she faintly heard a voice in her head.

"What's going on?" Song Xiwei wondered to herself.

She clearly sensed that the voice was trying to confuse her, a common technique used in illusions.

She vaguely sensed something, and pretended to be under an illusion, revealing a blank look in her eyes.

Suddenly, a hand lifted her chin and rubbed it. Then she heard a voice that laughed like a ghost, "Hehehe... As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince, you are truly top-notch. It was worth waiting for you for so long."

Song Xiwei was not actually under the illusion, but on the surface she still appeared to be under the illusion, at the mercy of others.

The hand traced her chin, then lingered around her nose and eyes.

She suppressed her discomfort, wanting to see what this sorcerer, who had swapped Princess Yubing's face, was up to.
