A possessive and obsessive Prince? A dark-bellied Princess Consort with the support of a system that grants mastery over both medicine and poison. A journey of mutual devotion...
Mobeichen, t...
Three months later, the weather gradually warmed up, and the roadsides were lush and vibrant with greenery.
On an official road about 100 miles from the capital, a carriage slowly approached.
Inside the carriage sat Yun Qingluo, Mo Beichen, Bai Chang, and others.
Bai Chang complained, "It doesn't matter if it's just a few more days, why can't we stay at an inn for one night before heading back? After traveling for several days in a row, my old bones are about to fall apart."
Shadow said apologetically, "I'm sorry, senior. As you've seen, the situation is tense, and we can't show ourselves freely. We've escaped danger without incident thanks to Madam Yun's disguise pill."
Indeed, they were being searched for along the way. They initially thought it was people sent by Xuanming, but upon investigation, they discovered that people from several continents were also looking for them.
After making some inquiries, I learned that war was about to break out.
Several other continents are secretly dissatisfied with Xuanming's long-standing rule. First, they interfered in the disaster, and now they are preparing to stir up trouble on the Sumeru Continent.
However, the key problem is that Yun Qingluo and the others have disappeared without a trace, so they are missing an opportunity.
If they find Yun Qingluo and the others, they can send them to Xuancang if they are dead, and kill them and send them to Xuancang if they are alive. In any case, as long as they die on the territory of Xuancang Continent, they will have room to make trouble.
"These people are despicable. His Highness has worked so hard for so many years, and the people are living in peace and prosperity, but they just have to cause trouble." Shadow's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He truly hated them.
As the clouds swayed through the gap in the curtains, a glimpse of the outside world filled me with a sense of melancholy.
After landing at the sea, they rushed to the capital without stopping, and along the way they saw many refugees fleeing the disaster.
If the Xuancang Continent is already in such a state before any war has even broken out, one can only imagine how devastating it must be on the continents where war has already occurred.
She said softly, "I heard that the Holy Continent has started fighting with the Void Continent, and the Ghost Continent has also gotten involved. If Xuanming hadn't sent people to help, the Holy Continent would probably have really changed hands."
Mo Beichen nodded, his expression solemn, and said, "Qiong Yi sought the support of people from the Void Continent, claiming that if he took over the Holy Sky Continent, he would only want Sheng Chuyi, and the entire Holy Sky Continent would be given to the Void Continent. How could the Void Continent not be tempted by such a generous gift?"
Bai Chang frowned and asked in confusion, "Isn't the Void Continent ranked seventh? How dare it challenge the Holy Jade Continent?"
Unaware of the information Mo Beichen had obtained, Bai Chang was somewhat puzzled by the current situation.
Mo Beichen explained, "Although the Void Continent ranks low, their strength has greatly increased by joining forces with the Ghost Continent. Coupled with Qiong Yi's instigation and promises, the Void Continent is naturally willing to take the risk. In addition, there may be some contradictions and differences within the Holy Qiong Continent, which also gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
Yun Qingluo sighed and said worriedly, "I don't know how many innocent people will be affected by this war."
The group fell into deep thought, pondering how to deal with the crisis at hand.
Mo Beichen instructed the people outside, "Speed up."
As the carriage sped forward, the scenery outside the window became increasingly blurry, as if foreshadowing the uncertainty of the future.
Bai Chang suddenly spoke up, "That's not right either. The Holy Sky Continent is the second largest continent. How can two small continents joining forces make the Holy Sky Continent unable to take care of itself?"
Mo Beichen explained, "The Enchantress has trained a team that is invincible. Anyone touched by those gloves will be corroded, and that black robe is impervious to swords and spears, so no matter how many people come, it will be of no use to this team."
"So that's how it is. Then isn't the Holy Sky Continent very dangerous?" Bai Chang asked in surprise.
Mo Beichen nodded, "Xuanming sent people to help, but this battle will probably be quite difficult."
Yun Qingluo sighed, "This battle will probably last a long time. The people of the Holy Sky Continent have only been living in peace for less than a hundred years, and now they are going to suffer again. It's really sad."
Xiao Yi suddenly spoke up, "This looks a little like sulfuric acid, doesn't it? It's highly corrosive."
Yun Qinglu was startled and said to Xiao Yi in her mind, "That's unlikely. Chemistry in this era isn't advanced enough to have sulfuric acid yet, is it?" Yun Qinglu's tone was somewhat hesitant.
Some of the wisdom of the ancients still holds an unsurpassable position even in modern times, so she wasn't sure if it had been discovered by chance.
After all, those corpse-dissolving potions were commonly kept by ancient assassin organizations, so a mere corrosive glove wasn't impossible.
But deep down, she still hoped that this thing didn't exist.
When Yun Qingluo and her group arrived at the city gate, Mo Beichen spotted several familiar faces, including Xuan Ming and Mu Zhi.
When Shadow saw Xuanming and Muzhi, he was shocked.
He knew that Xuanming valued Mo Beichen highly, but for him to personally come to the city gate to welcome him was a bit of an overreaction.
In particular, he even brought his civil and military officials to stand at the city gate, which truly gave the King of Sumeru a great deal of face.
Seeing the two people with different expressions, Yun Qingluo also glanced outside.
Huh? Why are there so many people?
Isn't this a bit too much?
Mo Beichen resumed his expressionless demeanor, and after the carriage stopped, he got off first, then helped Yun Qing down from the carriage.
Exclamations of surprise kept coming from the crowd:
“Look, Queen Sumeru’s master and her uncle have come down, which means this time it’s definitely a real person.”
"That's right, that's right. The one last time was actually fake. They really don't take our prince seriously at all. It's too much. We should just wipe out their entire continent."
"Keep your voice down, things have been pretty turbulent lately, let's not talk nonsense."
Mo Beichen, hand in hand with Yun Qingluo, stood before Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming looked at Mo Beichen with a slight excitement, and said after a long while, "This time you're really back. It's good that you're back."
Mu Zhi stepped forward and took Yun Qingluo's hand, her eyes slightly red. "This must be Empress Yun. My name is Mu Zhi. What happened before was my fault. I didn't think things through. Please forgive me. I didn't expect to involve you. If I had known that someone over there had ill intentions, I certainly wouldn't have dared to let you take the risk."
As she spoke, she bowed to Yun Qingluo to apologize, but Yun Qingluo quickly stopped her.
"Oh, no need to be so polite. It's all in the past. You said yourself that you didn't know anything. Besides, you were thinking of the people, which is not wrong. We've all come back safely, so please don't cry."
Seeing that Mu Zhi's eyes were red and glistening with tears, Yun Qingluo was afraid that she would burst into tears on the spot.
With so many onlookers, she didn't want them to think she was bullying Mu Zhi.
