In a relatively open area of the snow-capped mountain, the tents of an army encampment and a burning campfire could be vaguely seen. The heavy snow continued to fall, creating an atmosphere of profound oppression.
Helian Si stopped a few steps away from where the army was stationed, gazing in the direction of their encampment, a trembling unease akin to the fear of returning home.
For a long time, she hesitated to take a step; she was afraid.
Almost the instant Helian Si appeared, the soldiers on lookout spotted him. The reason was simple...
In this landscape almost entirely covered in white snow, Helian Si's blood-red dress stood out starkly.
Soon a soldier went to report, while the remaining soldiers slowly approached Helian Si.
Before Helian Si could even lift his foot, more than a dozen soldiers appeared around him, surrounding him and shouting sternly, "Who goes there!"
It has to be said that the soldiers looked at Helian Si with extremely strange and wary eyes. Just think about it, not to mention why there was suddenly an extra person here out of nowhere...
The mere sight of Helian Si in her blood-red dress was enough to strike them as odd, even though it was a snowy day.
These rough, hardened men, who spent most of their lives on the frontier, felt freezing cold, while the person before them was this delicate young girl.
Walking in this snowy landscape wearing a long dress typically worn in summer, she didn't seem to feel cold at all.
They couldn't help but wonder if this girl was some kind of demon who had cultivated herself into a spirit in these snowy mountains!
Thinking about it, the soldiers couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling that it was outrageous and truly a run of bad luck. Being trapped in the snow-capped mountains by a traitor was bad enough, but...
What's going on with encountering a female demon who has cultivated into a spirit? Could it be that even the heavens can't stand the strength of Northern Yin and want to destroy them?
Helian Si did not answer, but walked step by step towards the direction where the army was stationed. The soldiers, in their perception that Helian Si was a monster,
Filled with doubt and apprehension, they could only follow Helian Si's footsteps and retreat. Finally, just as Helian Si was about to approach the army's encampment, the leading soldier spoke up.
"Halt! No matter who you are..." Before he could finish speaking, a sharp and sinister voice rang out from behind him.
"What happened?"
Helian Si abruptly stopped in his tracks, raised his eyes, and looked directly at the group of people walking behind the soldier.
As the soldier stepped aside, that familiar, tall, and imposing figure came into view, and Helian Si's beautiful peach blossom eyes instantly reddened.
In an instant, she had already thrown herself into Helian Nie's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, her voice choked and trembling.
"Father."
W-what? What did that female demon call the Emperor?! Father...Father Emperor?!
Before the soldiers surrounding Helian Si could even figure out how he had managed to leap over them, they were nearly stunned by what they overheard.
One by one, they gripped their weapons, their eyes wide and mouths agape, staring in shock at the scene unfolding before them. Some even exaggeratedly reached out and rubbed their ears in disbelief.
Changying, who was right behind Helian Nie, could hear Helian Si's voice most clearly. He was also shocked to see Helian Si clinging to Helian Nie and refusing to let go.
Princess!
How could this be? This is the frontier... Shouldn't the princess be in the capital? How could she be here...?
Helian Nie's tall and imposing figure stiffened slightly, and a fleeting look of surprise crossed his handsome face and narrow, almond-shaped eyes.
As Helian Si landed in his arms, his brows furrowed deeply. He took off his cloak and wrapped it tightly around Helian Si. "Doesn't this ugly thing feel cold?"
