Luo Bingbing saw that the Nursemaid's heart had calmed down, and she said to her, "Nursemaid, let's go. It's time for us to return." Throughout the exchange, she didn't glance at the two people across from them.
The Nursemaid hurried to keep up with Luo Bingbing, but upon hearing that they were leaving, the two individuals quickly called out to stop them.
The strategist spoke up, "Young Master, please wait! I am grateful for your earlier act of saving my life. This is our General." He pointed to Lo An Lord beside him and continued, "May I ask for your esteemed name, Young Master?"
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly at Lo An Lord and replied, "I am just a person from the mountains; there's no need to mention it." After saying this, she immediately lifted her foot to move forward.
Seeing that Luo Bingbing was about to leave again, Lo An Lord quickly spoke up to retain her. "Young Master, please wait! May I ask if you have some time now? If it's convenient, my humble abode is just ahead in Silver City. I would be honored if you could visit and rest for a moment, allowing me to express my gratitude."
As he spoke, he gazed intently at Luo Bingbing and the Nursemaid, seemingly eager to remember who they were.
Luo Bingbing responded expressionlessly, "It's just a trivial matter; there's no need for concern." As she spoke, she secretly activated her Ability. Once her words fell, she lifted the Nursemaid into the air and began to walk on air toward their home.
The Nursemaid was startled when she suddenly floated up and wanted to scream. However, before she could make a sound, she heard Luo Bingbing's youthful voice beside her. "Nursemaid, don't be afraid. I've got everything under control. Just hold my hand tightly and close your eyes; follow me."
Hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the Nursemaid's fear gradually faded away. She gently closed her eyes as her heart slowly regained its calmness; she truly felt no longer afraid.
Meanwhile, Lo An Lord and his strategist were stunned as if struck by a thunderbolt. Their own martial skills were decent, yet they had never seen or heard of anyone who could float in mid-air without any support and walk as if on solid ground so naturally and effortlessly.
Both of them couldn't help but think: this Young Boy from the snowy mountains possesses extraordinary martial arts skills; it's truly terrifying. Noting that they were heading towards Silver City made them wonder if they were from there. Once they returned, they would definitely investigate thoroughly.
From the moment they spotted the little fox, it seemed they had already concluded that Luo Bingbing was indeed someone from the snowy mountains.
Until Luo Bingbing's figure was no longer visible, they finally withdrew their gaze. Since they had already fired a distress signal when they ascended the mountain, they could only wait in the Purple Bamboo Forest for the arrival of reinforcements.
Inside Prince Luo's Residence, Consort Luo, upon learning that Luo Bingbing had rescued the Nursemaid, ordered a thorough search throughout the palace for both Luo Bingbing and the Nursemaid. However, three days and nights passed, and every possible location within the palace had been searched, yet neither Luo Bingbing nor the Nursemaid could be found.
The Princess knew she had tormented the Nursemaid to near death and was deeply afraid that Luo Bingbing would come to take revenge on her. Consequently, she had many maidservants and guards following her everywhere, even while she slept.
It wasn't just the Princess who feared Luo Bingbing's revenge; everyone who had participated in the beating and tormenting of the Nursemaid was also terrified, worried that Luo Bingbing would come after them.
When Luo Bingbing and the Nursemaid returned to Prince Luo's Residence, they found that the palace was brightly lit, with shadows moving about as if searching for something.
In Piaoyun Pavilion, Luo Bingbing lay on the bed with her eyes closed. The Nursemaid thought Luo Bingbing was asleep and got up to rest in another room while still dressed.
Once Luo Bingbing heard the Nursemaid's steady and even breathing, confirming that she was asleep, she got up, quietly dressed, and silently opened the window. She leaped down from the window and headed straight for the Princess's Azure Water Pavilion to seek revenge.
In the night, Luo Bingbing moved stealthily through the palace like a silent maiden or a cunning rabbit, drawing closer to the Princess's Azure Water Pavilion.
When she reached a large tree in the yard of Azure Water Pavilion, she noticed that it was brightly lit inside with guards and attendants everywhere. Every ten meters along each path there was a sentry, even on the small paths.
Luo Bingbing activated her Ability and extended her Spiritual Sense to sense Consort Luo's presence. She discovered that Consort Luo was in her chamber, lying on her bed dreaming peacefully while playing chess with Zhou Gong.
Seeing Consort Luo sleeping in her chamber, Luo Bingbing immediately used her Wind Ability to teleport into the room. The maidservants and guards on watch were astonished when Luo Bingbing suddenly appeared in the Princess's room; they felt incredulous and were filled with fear and anxiety.
Some of the more timid maidservants were so frightened that they wanted to scream. However, before they could let out a sound, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to freeze them all in place, turning them into wooden figures—able to see and hear but unable to move or speak.
A slight smile crept onto Luo Bingbing's lips as she walked step by step toward Consort Luo, who was still lying in bed playing chess with Zhou Gong. Her gaze remained fixed on Consort Luo, who was still lost in slumber.
The frozen maidservants and guards stood right in front of Consort Luo's bed. Therefore, when they saw Luo Bingbing approaching step by step, they mistakenly thought she was coming for them as well, causing them to tremble in fear.
At this moment, Consort Luo, still lost in her dreams, seemed to embody the saying "What one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night." She was having a nightmare where Luo Bingbing came to take revenge on her.
Unbeknownst to her, it might have been Luo Bingbing's piercing gaze or perhaps Consort Luo was startled awake by that nightmare. Suddenly, she sat up with a startled "Ah!"
After the shock, she opened her eyes and realized she was still lying comfortably in her bed, understanding that it had just been a bad dream. She quickly placed her hand on her chest and murmured to herself, "Thank goodness, it was just a nightmare."
At that moment, she had no idea that everyone around her had turned into wooden figures, nor did she notice that Luo Bingbing had already entered her room and was slowly approaching her.
Just as she was about to lie back down and continue sleeping, a soft and cold childlike voice floated to her ears. "Awake? Then we should settle our accounts."
Sitting on the bed, Consort Luo was startled by the sudden voice and quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound. Through the white curtains, she saw a blurry figure of a Little One stepping closer. A strange intuition struck her; when did such a Little One enter her room? Upon reflection, it seemed that the only small Little One in the residence was the little imp from Piaoyun Pavilion. The voice sounded just like that little imp's.
Realizing what was happening, Consort Luo panicked and shouted loudly, "Help! Someone! Please help me!"
However, aside from Luo Bingbing, no one could hear her cries for help.
It wasn't that her voice wasn't loud enough; rather, Luo Bingbing had set up an invisible barrier around her. No matter how loudly she called out, no one outside could hear her because her voice simply couldn't escape. Thus, after shouting for a while without anyone responding, she became increasingly anxious.
In a state of panic, she pointed at Luo Bingbing and said, "You... don't come any closer! They're coming soon; you can't escape!"
Yet Luo Bingbing continued to walk forward step by step, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, growing more sinister.
"Is that so?" Her tone was clearly questioning but held an underlying playful tone.
"Yes! There are many skilled people coming; once they arrive, you won't be able to escape." The princess feared that Luo Bingbing would approach her and quickly responded in hopes of making Luo Bingbing leave her room.
Luo Bingbing slowly walked to within two meters of her and stopped. She casually pulled up a chair beside her and sat down. Her round eyes sparkled with golden light—bright yet concealing sharpness.
The gaze casually drifted towards Consort Luo across the room, sending a chill down her spine, prompting her to quickly lower her head and avoid eye contact.
Luo Bingbing clearly had no intention of giving up on tormenting her psychologically, wanting to continue playing the cat-and-mouse game and see how she would struggle in her dying moments.
Luo Bingbing lightly parted her lips and scolded, "Why are you so stupid? Do you have no brain? Haven't you noticed that you've been calling for so long, and still no one has come in? I really don't know how you became the ruler of Prince Luo's Residence."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, she shook her head while making a "tch tch tch" sound of disdain.
With a hint of arrogance and a lazy demeanor, Little One's words instantly infuriated Consort Luo, causing her to explode with rage, casting aside her earlier fear.
She pulled back the curtain, swiftly got out of bed without even putting on her shoes, and walked up to Luo Bingbing, saying, "You're the one who's foolish! You're the one without a brain! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice; what do you know, you little brat?" Anger made her forget to refer to herself as "this princess," simply using "I" instead.
"Oh! Is that so?" Luo Bingbing replied casually and calmly from her seat.
Seeing Luo Bingbing's lazy and composed expression made the princess realize she had acted too impulsively and felt regretful.
She hurriedly took steps back, wanting to distance herself from Luo Bingbing. She thought that if she could just get further away from this Doom Bringer, she would be safer. So she kept retreating until she reached the edge of the bed, with nowhere else to go, before finally stopping.
Luo Bingbing slowly stood up and walked towards her step by step. When she reached in front of her, she gradually took out a dagger she always carried with her.
