"You've asked so many questions at once, how is the Second Prince supposed to answer them? Let's wait and see. He'll tell you once he's healed. If you have nothing else to do, now that your spiritual power has recovered, why don't you help the Second Prince heal his wounds so we can leave this place sooner?"

Lin Shen's words made me feel deeply ashamed. I quickly started to help my second brother heal his injuries, but I found that his spiritual energy was scattered and his internal energy was unstable. He was at risk of going into qi deviation at any time.

Thick black energy covered his dantian, as if he had been poisoned by some strange poison. The injury was so deep, with old wounds compounded by new ones, and new wounds adding to new ones. If this continued, his life would be in danger. This gave me a big shock. When did my pampered second brother become so covered in wounds? Could it be that all these injuries were because of me?

Thinking about this, I suddenly didn't want to ask anything anymore. As long as they were all well, that was enough. My second brother had suffered so much for me, and I felt so sorry for him.

Two more hours passed before the second brother finally opened his eyes. His spiritual energy had stabilized considerably, and the black energy in his dantian had completely disappeared.

"How are you feeling? Are you any better?" I quickly handed him a fairy fruit.

He didn't take it, but pulled me to sit down, then called Lin Shen over, took out three strange fruits, and gave one to each of us.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's finish this and leave."

Lin Shen teased, "Didn't you say you'd wait until the Third Princess recovered? Why the change of heart? Your Highness, you're really fickle."

My second brother glared at Lin Shen, then glanced at me.

"Don't worry, she's very lucky, she won't die. But you, have you taken a liking to this place and don't want to leave?"

Lin Shen shook his head frantically, his eyes filled with deep fear. This made me even more curious about what kind of place this was, that it could frighten even the arrogant and aloof demon like me.

He muttered a few words by accident, but his second brother overheard them all.

"Eat it quickly, we can talk about it when we get back. Let's leave here first."

"But your injury..." I was still a little worried, but unfortunately I wasn't a physician. I could only help him by channeling some spiritual energy into his body, but I was helpless to do anything about his injury.

"Don't worry, I'll go see the Demon Lord Dugu when I get back, and I promise I'll bring you back a lively and healthy second brother." Knowing I was worried about him, he rarely joked, which made Lin Shen frown.

I reluctantly ate the kiwi fruit in my hand and found that my view suddenly became much wider. The strange mountain forest that was originally full of mist suddenly became clear.

"Second brother, what's this?"

"This is a Barrier-Breaking Fruit. Lin Shen and I went to pick it earlier, which is why we left you alone in that tree hole. It's extremely dangerous here, with ancient beasts everywhere. You must stay close to me, understand?"

I nodded earnestly. Although I was already an adult, I always felt inferior to my older brothers and seemed to lack the courage to refute them.

Although I really wanted to ask, since Lin Shen and I were fighting in the air and there was clearly nothing but thick fog, I didn't dare to speak up.

At this moment, Lin Shen deactivated the magic array at the entrance and took the lead out of the tree hole. My second brother followed closely behind, and I quickly followed as well. My second brother said it was dangerous. It must be dangerous over there. Besides, Lin Shen's previous performance didn't seem fake. After suffering so many losses, I should be more cautious.

We traversed mountains and valleys without encountering any danger, except for a few small animals along the way, which made me feel much more at ease.

Just then, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and a strong wind arose.
