"Thank you for your trouble, Prince Lieyang," a hint of joy finally appeared on the woman in the blue dress's indifferent face. "Where are they now?"
She was none other than Chu Chuyan. Back then, in the Daoist secret realm, they discovered that the secret realm was very different from what was recorded in the sect, and it took them more time than expected to complete the task.
The group of people benefited greatly and finally gathered at the agreed place to wait for the others to leave the Taoist secret realm.
To their surprise, they couldn't leave. They tried everything but failed. Then, a white light flashed across the sky, and a terrifying black hole appeared in the world, sucking everyone in.
When she woke up, she found herself in this world, but everyone else had disappeared.
She spent some days searching for the whereabouts of several companions. She didn't care about the others, but Pei Mianman was her good friend, and the two of them had such an awkward relationship. Naturally, she didn't want to see anything happen to her, otherwise, how could she explain it to Azu after she got out?
It turned out that the world was much bigger and more chaotic than imagined, and finding even a few people was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Later, she passed through a valley and rescued a group of people who were being robbed and killed by bandits. It turned out that the leader of them was a prince from a nearby country.
Although this country is far inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is still one of the most powerful countries in the surrounding area.
And that prince was none other than Prince Lieyang, the most promising heir to the throne in the country.
Those were not bandits, but elite assassins hired by their rivals.
Prince Lieyang was immediately awestruck by Chu Chuyan's beauty and invited her back to the capital out of gratitude for saving his life.
Chu Chuyan initially didn't want to get involved, but then she thought that she knew nothing about this world. If she had the help of a kingdom, it would be much easier to find people, so she agreed.
These days, the prince's constant flattery has become increasingly annoying to her, and coupled with the lack of any relevant news, she has decided to leave today.
“I haven’t found out the exact whereabouts of your companions yet,” Prince Lieyang said hastily upon seeing the other’s cold expression. “However, a major event has recently occurred. A large tomb has appeared in Zhichuan. It is said to be the place where the Immortal Lord Baopu underwent his immortal transformation. It contains countless treasures, and even his masterpiece, Baopuzi, may be among them. It may contain the opportunity to become an immortal.”
"Becoming an immortal..." Chu Chuyan remained noncommittal. In her world, countless people dreamed of becoming immortals, but in the end, it was all for naught. "What does all this have to do with my companions?"
Prince Lieyang hurriedly replied, "Of course it's related. Nowadays, almost all the powerful people in the world are going to Zhichuan to try to open that great tomb and find the immortal opportunities within. Your companions are all cultivation experts, so they will definitely be interested in going there as well. Instead of searching for them all over the world, why not go directly to Zhichuan? I think you can reunite with them there."
Chu Chuyan nodded secretly upon hearing this: "Thank you for the news, Your Highness. I will set off for Zhichuan immediately."
Prince Lieyang smiled and said, "Miss Chu, there's no need to worry. I've already arranged everything. I will accompany you to Zhichuan."
Chu Chuyan shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince, but you have already troubled me a lot these days, and I don't want to delay your business any further. Besides, I'm used to being alone and don't feel comfortable with being with others."
Although her tone was gentle, her refusal was quite firm.
Prince Lieyang was taken aback, then forced a smile and said, "In that case, I won't bother Miss Chu any longer. I wish you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Chuyan nodded slightly, then drifted away. She had planned to leave today anyway, and didn't have any luggage to take.
As he watched her beautiful and charming figure gradually disappear into the distance, the bright smile on Prince Lieyang's face vanished completely.
A servant standing nearby said resentfully, "This woman is shameless. Your Highness, you can have any woman you want, but you've been so attentive to her these days, and she's still putting on airs."
"Slap!" The response he received was a bright red handprint on his face.
Prince Lieyang said coldly, "Either give some constructive advice, or stop spouting this mindless nonsense."
The servant immediately became obsequious and dared not say another word.
Another servant standing nearby smiled smugly: "Your Highness, it's not that hard to win a woman's heart. This Miss Chu is different from the ordinary women around you. She is very strong and doesn't need to rely on others, so your previous methods were ineffective."
Prince Lieyang nodded in deep agreement: "Go on."
The servant glanced smugly at his dumbfounded companion on the other side: "So we must first shatter her pride and reliance."
“You mean…” Prince Lieyang’s eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said, “Miss Chu’s cultivation is very high, and it will not be easy to deal with her. It will definitely require mobilizing some of the top experts in the capital. If we do that, it will be easy to backfire if we are exposed in the future.”
The servant's eyes widened instantly, thinking that as long as it worked from the start and he got her body, wouldn't that be enough?
So you still want her heart, huh?
Of course, he dared not say this aloud, and could only say, "We don't need to take action. With the appearance of the great tomb in Zhichuan, all the masters in the world will surely be drawn to it. At that time, Zhichuan will be full of masters, and that Miss Chu is as beautiful as a fairy. Some people will inevitably be unable to resist their designs on her. She will be outnumbered and will surely be in dire straits. When that time comes, Your Highness can descend from the heavens and save the beauty. Wouldn't everything fall into place naturally?"
