"How could I not be afraid?"

His words came from the bottom of his heart, revealing his true feelings.

Rong Xi is absolutely showcasing her acting skills!

Of course, this wasn't just a display of acting skills; it also incorporated some of Ulanara's genuine emotions. Although, these emotions were simply projected onto Rong Xi's own persona.

But in a sense, Rong Xi was also afraid.

What's there to be afraid of?

She was not the real Ulanara clan member; she was merely a soul that had transmigrated. Had she not received the legacy from the Ulanara clan, her true identity might have already been revealed.

This is an era of spiritual cultivation!

Cultivators can possess other people's bodies. Once it is revealed that she is not of the Ulanara clan, everything she has now will collapse in an instant, including her life.

The fear of death is a common human trait!

Although Rong Xi was someone who had already lived a full life, she was still afraid of death. Especially since she didn't even know how she died in her previous life and had been transported here in a daze, she naturally wanted to make the most of this hard-won second life.

Even if this is just a dream, it has to be a beautiful dream!

The Fourth Prince remained silent for a long time.

He had never thought about these things, nor could he have imagined them.

As a prince, he was born into wealth and high status, so why would he think about such things?

"It seems I misunderstood you!"

The Fourth Prince engaged in deep self-reflection and ultimately realized that he had not shown enough care for his wife.

Hearing the Fourth Prince say this, Rong Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

But she only breathed a sigh of relief, because she suddenly realized that she seemed to have successfully aroused some of the Fourth Prince's interest. For example, the way the Fourth Prince looked at her had become more concerned.

What a jerk!

Two lines of tears streamed down Rong Xi's face.

She's a fake. Even though she inherited Ulanara's memories, she's still not Ulanara, and she can't be as virtuous as Ulanara.

"Your Highness is a man busy with important matters; it's nothing for me to suffer a little grievance!"

Rong Xi forced herself to speak, suppressing her nausea.

"It won't happen again!"

The Fourth Prince solemnly declared, "From now on, I will spend more time with my wife. The path of cultivation is long, and it requires resources, companions, methods, and a suitable environment. I don't want to attain immortality alone. My wife, you must stay with me!"

"Well……"

Rong Xi didn't know how to answer.

Is this emotionally charged Fourth Prince really the legendary cold-faced emperor from history? It's an unbelievable miracle that an emperor who could work himself to death, was extremely ruthless towards his brothers, and was incredibly strict with his subordinates could have such a tender side!

"Is the Princess Consort doubting the Master?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Rong Xi quickly spoke up.

She had her suspicions, but she couldn't say them aloud.

"Whether my wife believes it or doubts it, I will only believe the facts!"

The Fourth Prince smiled slightly and said, "What happened today was my fault. I apologize to my wife."

"Your Highness, please don't do this!" Rong Xi quickly interjected, "I am unworthy of such praise!"

"The Princess Consort still doesn't believe in the Master!"

"I believe you!"

Rong Xi cursed inwardly, "Damn it, history is all a lie! What happened to the aloof Fourth Prince? What happened to the stern and unsmiling prince? What happened to the primary wife who was just a figurehead?!"

The Fourth Prince in front of me is clearly a scoundrel!

"In that case, I can rest assured!"

The Fourth Prince seemed quite pleased to hear Rong Xi's unavoidable remark.

Rong Xi thought to herself, "You're relieved, but I'm not."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell the Fujin that the Master has given Granny Rui and Granny Xiang an opportunity to break through. If their fortune is sufficient, they will surely achieve the Nascent Soul stage when they return!"

Once a cultivator condenses their Nascent Soul, it's like having a second life. Even if their physical body is destroyed, as long as the Nascent Soul survives, they can reshape their physical body. Of course, if the Nascent Soul wants to possess another body, the effect is even better.

"This humble servant thanks Your Highness!"

Rong Xi finally understood why the Fourth Prince had so easily transferred Rui Mama and Xiang Mama away from her side; it turned out that the two of them had obtained the opportunity to break through their core and become infants.

If a Golden Core cultivator doesn't have the right opportunity, they may never be able to break through to the next level in their lifetime.

Such opportunities are of paramount importance to Golden Core cultivators every time.

The Fourth Prince has already reached the Golden Core realm, so why would he give up such an opportunity and hand it over to Granny Rui and Granny Xiang?

As the saying goes, those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves.

Why would the Fourth Prince, instead of seizing this opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, give such a good chance to Granny Rui and Granny Xiang? Even if the Fourth Prince didn't advance himself, he certainly had many trusted confidants. Why wouldn't he leave such an opportunity for his own confidants, but instead give it to Granny Rui and Granny Xiang?

Of course, even if Rong Xi suspected the Fourth Prince of having ulterior motives, she couldn't show it. After all, what both Granny Rui and Granny Xiang longed for was to break through their cultivation levels and advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

The Fourth Prince gave them such an opportunity, how could they possibly refuse?

"Princess Consort, there's no need for such formalities. They are your guardian nannies, but they are only at the Golden Core stage, which is still a bit lacking. If they could advance to the Nascent Soul stage and learn a few powerful techniques, it would be quite acceptable!"

The Fourth Prince spoke with unusual doting affection.

Upon hearing this, Rong Xi's only reaction was to get goosebumps.

"This humble servant still must thank Your Highness!"

Rong Xi insisted on expressing her gratitude.

Damn it! Originally, she was planning to give Granny Rui and Granny Xiang a chance to advance their ranks, thus making them completely devoted to her. But now, the Fourth Prince has beaten her to it. Can she still trust these two completely?

She had finally managed to get the two men by her side, but now, because of the Fourth Prince's one move, all her efforts had been in vain.

Damn it, you definitely did it on purpose!

Rong Xi didn't say it aloud, but she firmly believed in her heart that the Fourth Prince did it on purpose.

But why?

Did I give myself away somewhere?

Even after returning to her own courtyard, Rong Xi couldn't understand why the Fourth Prince would give up such a good opportunity to Granny Rui and Granny Xiang. What benefit would that bring him?

Could it be that, as the Fourth Prince said, it was purely for her sake?

That doesn't make sense!

She inherited all of Ulanara's memories and knew how the Fourth Prince treated Ulanara.

Even if it was because Ulanara was pregnant, it shouldn't have made the Fourth Prince go to such lengths! On the path of cultivation, the higher the level, the more resources are needed, and the fiercer the competition becomes.

Of ten thousand cultivators who reach the Foundation Establishment stage, only one percent will achieve the Golden Core stage, and that's already incredibly rare. The probability of achieving the Nascent Soul stage is even lower.

Once one achieves the Nascent Soul stage, one can truly stand at the top of the cultivation world's pyramid, and can go anywhere in the world.

Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything stupid!

"Master, are you alright?"

Magpie followed Rong Xi and saw that she had been frowning and deep in thought ever since she came out of the Fourth Prince's study, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
