Shadow glanced at Zi Xun indifferently and sighed almost imperceptibly. This person is beyond saving.

What I just said was like casting pearls before swine.

"Someone, take her away." Shadow raised his hand and gave the order.

Four figures emerged from the shadows. Zi Xun's expression changed drastically. Damn it, these shadows were still determined to punish her.

"Shadow Master, Zi Xun really has something urgent to discuss..."

Before Zi Xun could finish speaking, Shadow interrupted her impatiently, saying, "Gag her, throw her into the Dark Palace, and tell Xuan Bei to teach her some manners."

"Yes, Master." The four figures replied and then led Zi Xun away.

Shadow spoke again, "Go and distract Yinqiu, and also deal with the tails outside the hall. While I'm away, guard the main hall and do not disturb His Highness's rest."

"Yes, Master." As soon as the words were spoken, several figures vanished in an instant in the void.

The shadow turned around and looked towards the main hall, its eyes shifting unpredictably.

Finally, he made up his mind and walked out.

For the past two days, Yun Qingluo has been staying at the inn in Miao territory, spending her days eating and sleeping.

She tried all the local specialties of Miao region.

Incidentally, he and Xiao Yi would bicker from time to time.

"Hey, do you think that prince is even more handsome and good-looking than Mo Beichen?"

Yun Qingluo answered confidently, "No."

Xiao Yi retorted, "How do you know he can't? You've never seen him before. He's an incredibly powerful figure from the number one continent among the ten continents."

Yun Qingluo replied indifferently, "That won't happen."

Yun Qingluo's indifferent reply did not quell Xiao Yi's gossipy nature. "Are you really not interested? You're usually more enthusiastic about handsome men than I am."

Yun Qingluo tossed the melon seeds back onto the plate, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Have you ever seen anyone interested in someone who wants to drink their own blood and eat their own heart? I'm not a masochist."

Xiao Yi pondered for a while and agreed, "You're right, that makes sense. I never expected things to develop like this. Suddenly, a continent I've never heard of popped up, and the master of that continent wants to eat your heart. It's true that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest."

Yun Qingluo picked up another apple and continued to eat it, speculating as she did so, "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps that prince is completely unaware. Otherwise, why wouldn't they just openly arrest me instead of remaining silent for so long?"

Xiao Yi said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they're just afraid of being criticized. After all, I've never heard of a ruler who eats people's hearts being loved by the people. I guess this can only be done in secret." Mo Beichen continued to leave early and return late, probably busy looking for a secluded place.

A hidden room on the first floor.

"Your Highness of the Xuancang Dynasty?" Mo Beichen's voice was icy.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been determined that he needs the Empress's heart to treat his illness. Our people have no influence in the Xuancang Continent, so we cannot find out much information," a man in black replied, kneeling on the ground.

"What kind of person is he?" At that time, Mo Beichen learned about the other continents from the Dragon Guards and Phoenix Guards, but he did not investigate them in depth. After all, his predecessors had personally severed ties with other continents, and he could not disobey the ancestral teachings.

But now, they have no choice but to accept it.

"I've heard that His Highness is incredibly brave and valiant, but in one battle..."

Mo Beichen didn't answer for a long time, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

Half a day later, he finally gave the order, "What are the elders in the building doing?"

The man in black froze, clearly hesitant. "Your Majesty, the elders are... are preparing for your wedding with the Empress."

Mo Beichen scoffed, "They seem quite relaxed."

The man in black kneeling on the ground dared not speak.

“Since they have so much free time, let them go to the Xuancang Continent. They’ll have to go there sooner or later anyway. Let them go and scout ahead. They’re just idling around anyway,” Mo Beichen said again.

We'll have to deal with them sooner or later, so it's better to make preparations early to avoid being in a passive position later.

Although surprised, the man in black obeyed and withdrew.

When Mo Beichen returned to his room, he saw Yun Qingluo doodling on a piece of white paper.

"What is Luo Luo doing?" Mo Beichen walked in and headed towards Yun Qingluo.

When Yun Qingluo saw Mo Beichen coming over, she excitedly showed him her masterpiece.

“Ah Chen, come and see. I was too busy in the palace before and didn’t have time to draw the gymnastics movement diagrams. So, during these few days of rest, I was bored and thought I’d draw them. We can start promoting them from the southern border.” Yun Qingluo said to Mo Beichen, pointing to the drawing.

Mo Beichen looked at Yun Qingluo, "These drawings by Luoluo... is this a new set of movements?"

This seems a bit different from what I saw in the palace before. The painting skills are as always... hard to describe.

Mo Beichen shifted his gaze to Yun Qingluo's bright smiling face, and immediately felt much more comfortable in his eyes.

Yun Qingluo nodded, "Yes, this set is more exciting, and the movements are also very simple, so don't worry about everyone not being able to learn it."

"Exciting?" Mo Beichen was surprised by the novel term "Yun Qingluo".

However, Yun Qingluo still didn't have the chance to showcase her square dancing talent.

Because Master has returned, and he brought bad news.

As darkness fell, the Ghost Doctor arrived at the place where Yun Qingluo and the others were.

"Junior Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?" Yun Qingluo saw her junior uncle rushing over and quickly went to greet him.

The Ghost Doctor glanced at Mo Beichen and nodded in acknowledgment. Then he said to Yun Qingluo, "Luo Luo, you need to come with me. Your master has returned, but he is unable to move around easily. Come with me, and I will take you to find him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo became anxious. "What do you mean by that, Junior Uncle? Is Master injured? Where is he now?"

Mo Beichen walked over, grasped Yun Qingluo's hand, and felt that her palms were sweaty, which made him feel very sorry for her.

"Don't worry, Luo Luo. With the Ghost Doctor here, your master will be fine. Let's follow the Ghost Doctor first. Once we get there and see your master, we'll know everything." Mo Beichen comforted Yun Qingluo, telling her not to rush.

"I'll trouble you, Ghost Doctor, to lead the way. You go first, and I'll follow behind with Luo Luo." Mo Beichen pulled Yun Qingluo into his arms and said to the Ghost Doctor.

The Ghost Doctor nodded, put on his cloak, and walked ahead. Using his lightness skill, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night. Mo Beichen hugged Yun Qingluo tightly, put the hood of her cloak on her, and followed closely behind the Ghost Doctor.

Halfway there, the Ghost Doctor suddenly stopped.

Mo Beichen raised an eyebrow slightly, and Yun Qingluo in his arms turned cold. This group of people had been following them all the way.
