A moment later, the little girl stepped over the threshold with a displeased look on her face, turned a corner at one end of the corridor and headed towards the other end of the wooden house, finally bringing in a meal prepared for the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man spotted it from afar and quickly went inside to sit down and wait at the food table.

As usual, as Greenie entered the room, she brought out the bowls, plates, and utensils from the food tray, saying, "Dinner's ready!"

Upon seeing Greenie enter, the white-bearded old man immediately smiled, and with a mixture of joy and eagerness, he began to rummage through the food plate in front of her.

After a long while, he suddenly lost his smile and asked, puzzled, "Hey, didn't you send my osmanthus wine today?"

"What? You want to drink osmanthus wine?!" Greenie seemed to suddenly feel a sense of balance, secretly pleased, and finally relaxed her brows, deliberately asking.

"Yes, yes, where is the osmanthus wine? This osmanthus wine is my lifeline. I can't live without it!" the white-bearded old man said hopefully.

Greenie looked at his face, which was now filled with intense longing, and smiled, but then her expression instantly darkened. "Want some? No more. How about next year?"

"Next year..." Upon hearing this, it was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue for the white-bearded old man, who seemed unable to react for a moment and was quite stunned.

Just as Greenie rolled her big, bright, mischievous eyes and tried to escape with the empty food plate, the white-bearded old man suddenly called out to her from behind: "Wait..."

Greenie's legs suddenly stiffened, and she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

The white-bearded old man composed himself and suddenly realized that she was still holding a grudge because of what had just happened, so she was deliberately taking revenge on him.

Having guessed her thoughts, he naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against a child. He let out a soft sigh, regained his composure, glanced at the various delicacies laid out on the table in front of him, and slowly picked up his chopsticks.

After tasting a bite of the tangy and delicious pickled vegetables, I found them to be fragrant and fresh, with a yellow-green color and a tender and crisp texture. Paired with a bowl of steaming hot porridge, it had a unique flavor.

While eating, he pondered for a moment and asked the little maid, "By the way, why haven't we seen the princess yet? Has she eaten?"

"Your Highness...she, she..."

Upon hearing this, the little girl's heart skipped a beat, and her face, which was turned away from him, suddenly turned extremely ugly.

As she hesitated, wondering how to reply, she suddenly heard the sound of chopsticks being slammed to the ground, followed by a stern rebuke.

"Greenie, you're getting stranger and stranger. You weren't like this before! What's wrong with you, Gujin?"

"I...I..."

As Greenie listened, she continued to stammer, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

The white-bearded old man shook his head helplessly, then got up, leaned on his cane, and approached her, asking directly, "Alright, alright, I'll just ask you one question: has the princess eaten yet?"

The little girl was filled with fear and unease. She nodded hurriedly, then shook her head again.

The white-bearded old man glared at her retreating figure, seemingly having lost patience with her, and simply waved his hand, saying, "Go, go, go... go and invite the princess over here..."

At this moment, the little girl began to take difficult steps.

The white-bearded old man was about to turn back and sit down again to wait for others when he saw this and stopped, urging, "Are your feet locked by something? Hurry up and go fetch the princess..."

Upon hearing this, Greenie bit her lip, then turned back timidly and said, "Grandpa, actually, Her Highness the Princess... she's not inside..."

As if struck by lightning, the white-bearded old man suddenly realized something, paused for a moment, and slowly walked to Greenie's side, circling around her and carefully examining her.

After stopping, he looked into Greenie's eyes and pretended to be confused, saying, "What did you just say? Princess, she's not in the room, so where did she go?"

A very bad feeling had already welled up in his heart.

The young girl still wanted to hide the truth; she simply didn't have the courage to tell the whole story. Trying to avoid the old man's questioning gaze, she lied, "Her Highness, she... she might have gone to the beach to watch the sunrise again..."

At this moment, the white-bearded old man finally couldn't contain his anger, which he had just suppressed, and roared in fury: "Liar! It's already noon! How many sunrises do you have in a day? She just came back from watching the sunrise. Did she go back to watch it again?"

With a "thump," accompanied by this lion's roar, the little girl immediately knelt on the ground in a fluster, pleading, "Grandpa, calm down, Grandpa, calm down..."

The white-bearded old man suppressed his anger again and asked in a deep, urgent voice, "Tell me, or not, Princess, where did she go?"

The white-bearded old man spoke clearly as he tried to raise his cane.

Upon seeing this, Lü'er quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, begging for mercy: "Grandpa, please calm down, Grandpa, please calm down, Lü'er will tell you, Lü'er will tell you everything."

"Speak quickly!" the white-bearded old man urged sternly.

Greenie lowered her head and slowly said, "Princess, the princess has gone, she has gone to Dragon Saliva Cliff!"

"What? Dragon Saliva Cliff? Princess, she went to Dragon Saliva Cliff?"

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man suddenly felt dizzy, his legs felt weak as if he were about to fall, and he quickly put one hand to his temple.

Greenie nodded, recalling the scene from the morning, and said quietly, "The princess, she must have wanted to go to Dragon Saliva Cliff to pray sincerely to the Sea Goddess, hoping to obtain a precious piece of Dragon Saliva to strengthen the body of the unconscious man she brought back this morning."

After a long while, the white-bearded old man felt his mind was in complete chaos and could not believe the fact.

Suddenly noticing Greenie's anxious face, he asked very seriously, "Did you tell the princess the story of Dragon Cliff?"

Greenie nodded, but said, "Greenie thought the princess was a weak woman, and had just recovered from a serious illness. Even if she knew the story of Dragon Saliva Cliff, she would never have the courage or even the thought of actually going to retrieve the elixir. But who knew? Who knew she would so recklessly do something she could never do for a complete stranger she had just met? The story of Dragon Saliva Cliff and Dragon Saliva has been told for thousands of years, but no one has ever actually seen it..."

Greenie's words still echoed in his ears, and the white-bearded old man grew angrier the more he listened.

He felt as if the blood and qi were violently impacting his head inch by inch.

Finally, he couldn't help but raise his hand with a "whoosh," about to deliver a hard slap.

Just as the torch was placed on Greenie's forehead, she suddenly heard her say earnestly, "Princess, she is truly too kind..."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded old man finally held back and slowly withdrew his hand.

He then lowered his voice and ordered, "Get up and lead the way. Come with me quickly to find the princess. If anything happens to her, we will both be sinners of the entire Dongning Kingdom, no, perhaps the entire Lingkong Continent!"

Upon hearing this, the young girl quickly got up, wiped away her tears, helped the white-bearded old man up, and hurried towards the direction of Dragon Saliva Cliff.

At this moment, the woman, who had almost exhausted all her already weak strength, finally climbed to the top of the high Dragon Essence Cliff after going through countless hardships.

She certainly didn't believe what the little girl said—that if one sincerely made a wish towards the vast ocean in front of them, a sea goddess would appear and bestow some dragon saliva upon the wisher.

She prefers to believe that in her inexplicable memories, it is a gift from nature to humankind.

In her memory, this precious medicinal herb was either floating on the sea or washed ashore.

But the sea before us was a vast, boundless ocean, with no sandy beach in sight at the foot of the cliffs that were almost perpendicular to the sea level.

Because the mountain is very high, it is quite difficult to see the environment at the foot of the mountain clearly.

She circled around the top of Dragon Cliff again and again, looking down for a long time, and finally locked her sights on the foot of Dragon Cliff, near the sea, where there was a small open space between several large rocks that had been riddled with holes from years of seawater impact.

Aside from the vast ocean, this is perhaps the only place where dragon saliva can be found.

"I will definitely find the Dragon's Saliva, I definitely will, I definitely will..."

She pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and rubbed her hands together, trying to slowly grasp and step on the sharp edges of the rock, gradually descending into the open space below.

Not far away, just as they stepped out, they encountered Mei Zhixuan and his guards, an old man with a white beard and Greenie, who were rushing back. As they walked, Greenie told Mei Zhixuan in detail everything that had happened since he left Youlan Island.

Just as Mei Zhixuan was deep in thought as he traveled, he suddenly heard a sound of "Ah..."

"Princess, it's the princess's voice!" Greenie exclaimed, stamping her feet in shock.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Searching for the woman's cries, Mei Zhixuan and his guard leaped up and began frantically calling out all around Dragon Pool Cliff.

Just as Mei Zhixuan and his guard arrived at the top of Longchi Cliff and split up to search for the woman, Mei Zhixuan's guard quickly spotted a long-haired woman in white robes curled up on a small white sand beach nestled between several rocks at the foot of the high cliff.

Seeing this, he turned pale with fright and was stunned. He pointed blankly in the direction of the beach and said, "Your Highness, look over there!"

Mei Zhixuan darted over and looked in the direction the other person was pointing. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately frowned in surprise.

Without even thinking, he leaped down the slope and, as soon as he touched the ground, bent down and scooped the woman up in his arms, frantically calling out in her ear, "Royal sister, royal sister, wake up, wake up, royal sister..."
