"Your Highness, no. It's unfathomable down there. Even with the vines, we might not be able to reach the bottom."

"Besides, this vine doesn't look very strong. If anything unexpected happens, I can't afford it."

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he was about to go down the vine, but was stopped by Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Stop talking nonsense. It's useless for you to go. There are specific ways to collect herbs, and you don't know how to do it."

"If you're really worried, keep this vine safe and don't let it break."

After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she didn't give Wang Xiao a chance to continue speaking and went down along the vine.

Ye Xiaoxiao was moving very fast, but the cliff was very deep. Although the vines were very long, she still couldn't see the bottom of the cliff.

Ye Xiaoxiao was a little worried, but soon she found that the vine suddenly moved.

[What's going on? Could it be that Wang Xiao has come down?]

[No, it came from below.]

Ye Xiaoxiao looked down intently and saw a black dot slowly growing bigger. It turned out to be Shangguan Lingyun standing on the eagle.

"Husband, are you okay?"

Shangguan Lingyun didn't expect that the person above was Ye Xiaoxiao, and immediately asked worriedly.

"Why did you come down?"

Ye Xiaoxiao took a look at him and was relieved to see that he was fine.

"I was a little worried, so I came down to check on you. Fortunately, you're okay. Did you find any herbs?"

Shangguan Lingyun nodded, then took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Look, is this it?"

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the brocade box. There were four round green leaves, like flower buds, and in the middle, a real flower bud had just opened.

Ye Xiaoxiao compared it with the system electronic screen in her mind and nodded immediately.

"Yes, that's it, my husband. To be on the safe side, let me take care of this herb."

Shangguan Lingyun did not object. He was also worried that he would lose the brocade box when climbing up, so it would be safer to put it in Ye Xiaoxiao's space.

Seeing him nod, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately used her sleeves to cover herself and put it directly into the system space.

Only after getting the herbs did Ye Xiaoxiao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go up."

Shangguan Lingyun nodded and grabbed the vine. The vine shook slightly, and Ye Xiaoxiao immediately stabilized her body.

Shangguan Lingyun directly hugged the person in his arms and gave him a slightly worried look.

"Hold on to me, I'll take you up."

Ye Xiaoxiao did not refute and hugged Shangguan Lingyun's waist tightly.

Feeling the unique fragrance of the little woman in his arms, Shangguan Lingyun's heart was moved, and then he immediately calmed down.

"The eagle is a little exhausted and can't bear the weight of you and me. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves."

It seemed like an explanation, but also like worry. After Ye Xiaoxiao hugged him tightly, he grabbed the vine and used his lightness skills to start climbing up.

Everything went smoothly at first, but when it was about to reach Wang Xiao's position, the vine suddenly shook.

"Oh no, the cane may not be able to bear it anymore."

Shangguan Lingyun quickly glanced around, held Ye Xiaoxiao, let go of the vine, and flew towards a small platform nearby.

As soon as they flew onto the platform, the vines broke.

"Master, Madam."

Wang Xiao was shocked and shouted desperately.

Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes helplessly, then shouted to Wang Xiao above.

"We're not dead. There's a small cave here. We're safe for now. Go find some strong vines and bring them down."

Ye Xiaoxiao had no internal energy, and her voice was quickly blown away by the wind below the cliff.

"Madam, what did you say?"

Wang Xiao heard Ye Xiaoxiao's voice, but didn't hear what she said clearly.

Shangguan Lingyun had no choice but to use his internal energy and shouted to Wang Xiao again. Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless.

After hearing Shangguan Lingyun's message, Wang Xiao felt relieved and immediately went up to look for other vines.

Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun stood on the edge of the cliff bored.

"Did you find anything else besides the herbs this time?"

Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. "The eagle is still underage and has limited strength. I didn't dare delay, so I didn't investigate carefully."

"Luckily, this herb grows where the cliff meets the lake, making it easy to find. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have returned empty-handed."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. "The cliff below is too deep. I'm lucky to be able to return safely."

"You are the emperor. Never take such a risk next time. If you do, I will not be able to explain myself to the people of the world."

Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips and leaned over, pressing his lips directly onto Ye Xiaoxiao's.

[This man, on this cliff, actually still has the mind to kiss. I really don't know what to say to him.]

Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly, hugged and kissed her gently, then let Ye Xiaoxiao go again.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to explain to anyone. Just be happy and leave the rest to your husband."

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

Although she was very touched, she really didn't dare to move now.

Just when she was feeling a little embarrassed, she suddenly heard some sound coming from behind the mountain wall.

"Husband, listen, is there any sound?"

Shangguan Lingyun listened attentively upon hearing this, and indeed heard a few dong dong dong sounds.

"There won't be any wild animals here, will there?"

Shangguan Lingyun frowned and listened carefully for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, there are no footprints here. It doesn't look like a wild animal's cave."

"And, if you listen carefully, it sounds like someone is talking."

"What? The sound of people talking, how is it possible here halfway up the mountain?"

Although she didn't quite believe it, Ye Xiaoxiao still put her ear to the mountain wall.
