don't wander off, this King will have Xiao Li attend to you.Dugu Cheng went out, and Xiao Li came in. Seeing that the princess was fine, she was so excited."Your Highness, you are awake."Feng Lingxi r..."That consort, these few days still should pay more attention."

Feng Ling Xi responded, Xia Li glanced at the weather outside, "Princess, this servant will make you something to eat, what would you like"

"Anything goes."

After Xiao Li left, Feng Lingxi hurriedly checked her pulse. However, the pulse was steady and there was no sign of a pregnant pulse. Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes sank, fearing that she had delayed it, not being pregnant.

Having adjusted her mindset, Feng Lingxi began working on her tasks again.

Xiaoli was especially careful. The princess's monthly cycle was two days late. Whether or not there was a pregnancy, she needed to be carefully taken care of. Xiaoli specially went to the kitchen to make some supplements for the princess, and her diet and daily life became even more meticulous.

The next morning, Feng Lingxi got up very early. Yao Chu's side was already packed and waiting for her to go to the waterfall together. Luoli was also there, and after having breakfast together, they set off down the mountain.

Feng Lingxi and Luoli were still sitting in the same carriage. Everyone, out of respect for the chieftain's status, naturally treated Feng Lingxi with utmost deference. Moreover, there had been rumors among the Yao tribe these days about an ambiguous relationship between the chieftain and the holy maiden.

They said they went in and out together, spending a lot of time together. They also said the chieftain treated the saintess well, that Feng Lingxi bewitched the chieftain with her stunning beauty, and that she was shameless, having already become someone's wife but still not knowing how to keep her distance.

Rumors spread, and within days, they were rife throughout the Yao clan. Feng Lingxi remained unaware, but Luo Li knew. However, instead of debunking them, he chose to ignore the matter. It was only when Feng Lingxi disembarked from her carriage and was on her way to the pool that she learned about it from Fourteen and Fifteen's mouths.

After learning this, Feng Lingxi only coldly glanced at those clan members and did not respond. After all, she hadn't heard them say these things firsthand, so she couldn't confront them about it.

On the way to the water pool, Feng Lingxi didn't see the so-called tribe, nor any soldiers searching the mountains. Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Chu leading the way ahead. Although there was no wind or snow today, the snow on the ground was still very thick and hadn't melted. The weather was extremely cold. Even though she took a carriage here, Feng Lingxi's face had already been frozen red.

"Can you hold on"

Luo Li looked at Feng Ling Xi's flushed face, her eyes filled with worry. With such a heavy blow, how could her body possibly bear it

Feng Lingxi responded, glancing at the winding and uneven path ahead. "How much longer until we get there"

It will take about half an hour to walk in. They've already cleared the path ahead, so it will be easier to walk.

Feng Lingxi swept past the snow-covered forest, her heart chilled.

"Carry on, I'm fine."

Feng Lingxi quickened her pace, Xiaoli scurried after her, her eyes fixed on the princess's feet, afraid she would trip and hurt herself.

"Ahead lies the boundary between the various tribes and the Yao people. Don't wander off, stay with the elder, he will handle everything."

Feng Ling xi nodded, her steps quicker. After half an hour, she arrived at the water pool, which was also the precipice under the forbidden zone, and the foot of the Yao clan's mountain. Looking up, she couldn't see the top of the cliff, shrouded in mist.

"Saintess, this is the water pool in the forbidden underground. Now the water surface is completely frozen, even the waterfall has solidified into ice, becoming an ice sculpture."

Yao Shu pointed to the ice sculpture above. The pool of water in front of them was very large, and the cliff dropped straight down, making it highly likely that anything falling would land in the water. While Aman said someone was hanging from a tree branch, it probably meant a position somewhere in the middle.

Feng Lingxi walked to the edge of the water tank, swept away the snow on the ground with her feet, picked up a stone and threw it at the water surface. The water surface was hit, but only a small piece of ice broke out where it was hit. Feng Lingxi found another larger stone and threw it at the water tank. The stone hit the ice surface, leaving only a crack but not breaking it apart.

"This water noodle person going up there probably won't have any problems."

Seeing Feng Ling Xi's actions, Yao Shu suddenly spoke up. Thinking that the Saintess still wanted to go to the bottom of the water tank, he couldn't help but sneer.

Luo Li leaped through the air and landed on the icy surface of the pool. She bent down and picked up a stone that had been knocked onto the ice, then used 30% of her internal energy to smash it towards the distant ice. A crack appeared in the ice. Luo Li looked at the thickness of the cracked ice and flew back to Feng Ling Xi's side.

"The ice is too thick to allow for underwater exploration."

"I saw."

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze. The weather here was so cold, she didn't know what else to say besides that.

Such a large pond, the water surface is frozen so thick.

"Search the caves on these hills, see if you can find any trace of my mother."

Feng Lingxi ordered, and Yao Chu stepped forward to explain, "Holy maiden, we have searched every mountain around here, and every cave that could be used as shelter. There is no trace of anyone having lived there."

Let's go back first.

Luo Li watched Feng Ling Xi's eyes, still unwilling to look away. Her expression was worried, "The weather is too cold, and it seems like a snowstorm is coming. Staying here any longer might cause trouble when we go out later."

"Give up."

Feng Lingxi turned and left, her eyes no longer hesitant as before. A fleeting glint of killing intent flashed in her beautiful eyes, quickly replaced by a cold indifference as she swiftly retreated.

The forces of Duke Gucheng were searching the mountains and received a secret report that a group of people had arrived at the water tank. They immediately led their troops to catch up, but when they got there, there was only a stone left on the surface of the water tank and the ice surface that had been smashed open.

Duguxing jumped down onto the icy surface, picked up a stone from the ice, glanced around, and instinctively looked upward.

"Xi'er, is that you"

"My lord, it was indeed a member of the Yao race. They left about an incense's worth of time ago. Shall we continue to pursue"

General Li arrived with his men and saw the Prince standing on the ice. He instinctively glanced at the thickness of the ice, and when he saw the Prince shake his head, he expressed his opinion: "Your Highness, it's too difficult to open a gap in this ice."

The cracks in the ice noodles were caused by someone using their internal energy to shatter them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to open this stone simply with its own weight.

Aman immediately leaped forward and, looking at the thickness of the ice surface, clenched his fists.

"My lord, is there truly no other way"

"Dugu Cheng shook his head, "Such a large bowl of ice noodles, it can't even be put in the water after being fried. Aman, wait a while. It's been so long, it's not like it will change in a few days."

Aman stood there for a long while before speaking.

"My Lord, I wish to return to Yao Clan to see the Saintess."

Dugu Cheng knew that AmAn couldn't find his mother-in-law here and wanted to go back to look for XiEr, perhaps he could also help her.

"Go on then, this King hopes you can handle things calmly. Should anything arise, have Yingwei report back to this King. This King will support you at any time."

Amman bowed and cupped his fists towards Dugu City, then swiftly departed.

Ye Xi saw that Aman had left, her eyes full of puzzlement. "Your Highness, you let her leave. What if she exposes everything when she goes back Wouldn't the elders of the Yao clan..."

Since Yingwei was able to leave the Yao tribe, she must be able to return to the Yao tribe unnoticed. Aman going back would also be good, at least she could help Xi'er.asonable request. Would it be possible for you to let me take the token back to show Ah Yu That way, we can use the token to find whoever kidnapped the Sixth Prince."That token is not with me, Dugu Ci...
