As the flowers were about to bloom, the Snow Spirit Fox, sleeping on the windowsill, suddenly felt unwell. It woke up in an instant, realizing that its nose was blocked by something, making it want to sneeze repeatedly.
To avoid waking its owner in bed, it quickly leaped out of the window and into the bushes in the yard.
After sneezing several times, its nose cleared up. It returned to the windowsill, but as soon as it got there, its nose felt uncomfortable again, and it wanted to sneeze once more.
After scanning the room, it quickly realized that it was allergic to the flowers on the windowsill that were about to bloom, which was causing its sneezing.
Thus, it jumped down from the windowsill again and ran up a nearby large tree.
The tree was quite big and had many branches. Above the windowsill of Luo Bingbing's room was one of those branches. To stay closer to its owner, the Snow Spirit Fox decided to sleep there.
It chose a good spot where it could clearly see everything inside the room. However, since the branch was above the windowsill, the person inside the room couldn't see it at all, and the fragrance of the flowers wouldn't disturb it anymore.
Once all the flowers on the windowsill bloomed, their faint fragrance was released and eventually mixed together.
The totem carved by Murong Shang on the flower pot immediately connected with those mixed fragrances in the air, forming an invisible Illusory Web.
Once the Illusory Web was formed, everything within its domain would instantly transform into an endless illusion. This illusion would quickly seal away the memories of anyone caught within it and bring them into the Void Realm.
Anyone taken into the Void Realm would find their minds blank and would never be able to escape from that illusion for life.
At this moment, Luo Bingbing's memories were sealed by the Illusory Web, and she was drawn into the Void Realm.
As soon as those flowers bloomed, Murong Shang, who was far away in a secret chamber of a villa, sensed it. He immediately began setting up various flowers and herbs that he had prepared earlier.
Once the formation was set up, he sat at its center and began channeling his internal energy to establish Dreamland. Half an hour later, he completed setting up Dreamland. Then he promptly opened a transmission link between Dreamland and Illusory Web.
As soon as the transmission link was established, he entered it. In just a few blinks of an eye, he appeared in Luo Bingbing's room.
Looking at the Little One lying on the bed, surrounded by blooming flowers, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, a smile spreading across his face.
Murong Shang slowly approached the edge of the bed, gazing at the still-sleeping Little One. He couldn't help but think to himself, "From now on, you are mine!"
He then bent down and picked up the Little One, carrying her away through the transmission portal, disappearing from the room in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Shadowless, who was sleeping next door, was completely unaware of what had just happened. However, the Snow Spirit Fox perched on a branch had witnessed everything that transpired in the room.
As soon as the Illusory Web formed, it immediately sensed an invisible pressure within the room, a strong force that made it tremble uncontrollably.
Without needing to think, it knew that its master was in danger. Therefore, it quickly used the secret method of its Spirit Fox Clan to send a message to Luo Bingbing.
However, its words could not penetrate; it seemed as if some special force surrounded the room, isolating everything from the outside.
After several failed attempts to communicate, it grew frustrated. Just as it was about to give up, Murong Shang suddenly appeared in the room.
Seeing Murong Shang, it realized he was behind this and froze in place on the branch to avoid being discovered.
When it saw Murong Shang carrying Luo Bingbing away, its anxiety intensified, yet it felt powerless to intervene.
However, it had long sensed a powerful magic hidden within Dongfang Hao. It thought that if that magic were unleashed, it could dominate all life and death in the world.
Because of this, it feared Dongfang Hao greatly and unconditionally surrendered its master to him.
Thinking of this, it hoped that Murong Shang would leave quickly so it could find Dongfang Hao to rescue her. But its secret method could only be used between itself and Luo Bingbing, making it impossible to communicate with outsiders. Thus, it had to return to the palace of the Silver Moon Kingdom to seek out Dongfang Hao.
Soon enough, it saw Murong Shang disappear from the room with its master in his arms. With them finally gone, it wanted to rush back to the Silver Moon Kingdom to find Dongfang Hao.
As soon as it got up, it felt the powerful pressure around it suddenly disappear. Confused, it noticed that the flowers on the windowsill began to wither.
Moreover, the flowers withered at an astonishing speed, all of them having wilted within a few blinks, with some even falling to the ground.
With the invisible pressure gone, the Snow Spirit Fox jumped directly into the room. After surveying the space, it realized that aside from one less person, nothing had changed.
Then, the Snow Spirit Fox quickly left the room and dashed towards the Silver Moon Kingdom in search of Dongfang Hao.
After Murong Shang disappeared from Luo Bingbing's room while holding her, he immediately reappeared in the secret chamber where he had been before.
Gently placing Luo Bingbing on the bed that had already been prepared, he went to dispel the Dreamland and the formation he had set up earlier.
Once everything was taken care of, he carried Luo Bingbing out of the secret chamber, boarded the prepared carriage, and swiftly left Mo City.
Early the next morning, Shadowless woke up. Seeing that Luo Bingbing's door was still tightly shut, he assumed she was still asleep.
Since Luo Bingbing had told Mink yesterday that she would be leaving Mo City today, Mink and Yelv Qi went to see Yelv Yan before heading directly to the Palace to find Luo Bingbing.
However, upon arrival, they heard Shadowless say that the Little One had not yet gotten up.
Mink glanced at the sky and knew that the Little One sometimes woke up later, so he decided not to knock on the door.
But when lunchtime came, and the Little One's door remained tightly closed, both Shadowless and Mink sensed something was wrong.
The two quickly approached Luo Bingbing's room and called out loudly for her. However, there was no response from inside. Sensing something amiss, they kicked open the door.
Inside, however, there was no one. The cold bedclothes clearly indicated that the room's owner had long since departed.
“Brother Shadowless, didn’t the master tell you when he left?” Mink immediately asked Shadowless.
After hearing Mink's question, Shadowless quickly shook his head and said, “I’ll go look around nearby.” As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed out.
Seeing this, Mink said to the Yelü brothers, “I’ll also go look around nearby,” and then she ran out.
Yelü Qi saw her leave and immediately chased after her, disregarding Yelü Yan beside him.
Yelü Yan, being a ruler, was more composed. He quickly ordered the guards outside to search for the Little One within the Palace.
Then, he commanded his Dark Guard to send people to search in Mo City to see if the Little One might be outside the Palace.
After searching the entire Palace and failing to find the Little One, Shadowless used the method Luo Bingbing had told him before to call out to her in his mind.
However, the method that had always worked before now yielded no response. He called out several times, but the Little One did not suddenly appear.
Panic set in…
He knew that the Little One would never abandon him; the only possibility was that she was in danger and her situation was dire.
Although he was extremely anxious, he forced himself to calm down and pondered over Luo Bingbing's current situation and who might have targeted her, as well as their motives.
This was Yelü Yan's territory, so he felt it must be related to Yelü Yan. He immediately turned around to find Yelü Yan.
On his way back, Mink saw him rushing back and called out loudly to him, but he ignored her and continued running.
Thus, Mink assumed something had happened and quickly turned around to chase after Shadowless, with Yelü Qi naturally following closely behind.
Shadowless swiftly approached Yelv Yan, drawing his sword and pointing it at him, coldly asking, "Tell me, where have you taken my master?"
Mink and Yelv Qi, who had just entered, were taken aback by this statement. Yelv Yan was even more confused, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Brother Shadowless, you must be mistaken," Yelv Qi immediately said.
"Am I mistaken? This is his Palace, the territory of your Mohan Kingdom. My master disappeared here; do you dare say it has nothing to do with him?"
At that moment, Mink felt troubled. Suddenly, she remembered the emergency contact method Luo Bingbing had told her about and immediately called out for Luo Bingbing in her mind.
However, after calling several times without any response from Luo Bingbing, she realized that the Little One must be in danger.
Thus, she drew the dagger hidden on her person and charged at Yelv Yan.
Seeing this, Yelv Qi quickly intervened and said, "Can you all calm down? Bing Bing is our Princess. If my royal brother were truly responsible, would he come looking for help so soon? Who would choose to act against someone on their own territory?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yelv Yan quickly added, "I, Yelv Yan, swear to the heavens that I did not kidnap your master. I have already sent people to search the entire city."
After hearing both of their words, Shadowless and Mink regained some of their composure. Shadowless left a warning: "If I do not find my master in three days, I will take your life," before leaving the Palace.
Once outside the Palace, he went directly to the Dark Gate's stronghold and the Tiger Legion's villa, instructing them to immediately notify all Dark Gate and Tiger Legion outposts to search for Luo Bingbing.
He even wrote a letter for them to send via Falcon Courier to An Ruo Ran.
Next, he hurried to the Beggar Clan stronghold in Mo City, asking the person in charge there to send word to Luo Yi, urging all disciples of the Beggar Clan across the land to search for Luo Bingbing.
Although he wanted to contact the Ghost Gate and have them join in searching for the Little One, he had no way of reaching them, so he reluctantly abandoned that idea.
However, when the people from Ghost Gate learned that the secret door and the members of Tiger Legion and Beggar Clan were all searching for the Little One, they immediately realized that something had happened to the Little One.
Thus, they quickly instructed the people from Ghost Gate to secretly search for the Little One.
They found out that Shadowless, who had been following Luo Bingbing, was currently in Mo City of Mohan Kingdom, so they sent Yiziman to Mo City to find Shadowless.
Upon receiving this news, An Ruo Ran immediately ordered all members of Tiger Legion to search for Luo Bingbing and dispatched the elite forces of Tiger Legion to Mohan Kingdom.
At that moment, she was in Silver Moon Kingdom. After making arrangements, she hurried to the palace to see Dongfang Hao and inform him that the Little One had disappeared in Mo City.
However, as soon as the forces of Beggar Clan and the secret door moved, the Demon Palace received news. While Dongfang Hao was reviewing the Imperial Edict in the Imperial Study, Miyazawa suddenly appeared and informed him that both the secret door and Beggar Clan were searching for Luo Bingbing.
Dongfang Hao was taken aback and immediately stood up, asking, "Have you found out what exactly happened?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have failed to ascertain what has occurred. However, I can confirm that the Empress is in trouble."
"You must immediately order everyone in the Demon Palace to search for the Empress. Be quick."
As soon as he finished speaking, Miyazawa replied, "I have already made arrangements."
At that moment, a voice from outside suddenly called out. "Your Majesty, there is a woman claiming to be a maid of the Empress seeking an audience outside."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Hao immediately said, "Let her in."
After An Ruo Ran entered, she reported to Dongfang Hao about the specific situation mentioned by Shadowless in the letter. After listening, Dongfang Hao pondered for a moment and felt that it must be related to Yelviyan.
Therefore, he quickly mobilized troops at the border between Silver Moon Kingdom and Mohan Kingdom and then set off with Miyazawa and Mink towards Mo City.
Because they were very worried about the Little One, they kept rushing without stopping to rest from the moment they set off. When one horse could no longer run, they immediately switched to another.
However, running day and night on empty stomachs quickly took a toll on their bodies.
So, two days later at noon, they finally stopped to rest and eat. Yet, despite their efforts, no news about the Little One had been found by any of the factions, making it impossible for them to eat; instead, they drank quite a bit of alcohol.
But after resting for only a short while, they set off again.
While they hurried towards Mo City, the Snow Spirit Fox rushed towards Silver Moon Kingdom. At that moment, it wished more than anything for the Phoenix to be by its side!
If the Phoenix were here, it would have already arrived at Silver Moon Kingdom. Thinking of the Phoenix made it immediately recall the word "fly," and it couldn't help but mutter in its heart, "If only I could fly too, or teleport like my master!"
As soon as this thought emerged, a sudden pain shot through its head, and it could not open its eyes.
It knew this was a sign that the Spirit Fox Clan's inheritance was about to come. So, it immediately lay down on the ground to accept the sudden influx of power.
After a while, it opened its eyes and said to itself, "Now I can teleport too."
It turned out that what it had just received was the Spirit Fox Clan's Teleportation Technique. Although the distance of teleportation wasn't very far, it was still faster than running.
Then, it quickly began to teleport using the secret technique. Since the technique could only teleport a little over a thousand miles at a time, it teleported several times.
However, when it returned to the palace of Silver Moon Kingdom, it did not find Dongfang Hao.
But from those inside the palace, it heard that Dongfang Hao had already led troops to Mohan Kingdom. Upon hearing this news, it became anxious and immediately went to find the Phoenix.
Once it found the Phoenix, it quickly told it what had happened in Mo City and insisted that the Phoenix take it to find Dongfang Hao right away.
Soon, the Phoenix immediately took the Snow Spirit Fox to find Dongfang Hao.
At this time, Luo Bingbing was still in a deep sleep, but Murong Shang had already brought her into the borders of the Golden Sun Kingdom, and they would reach the palace of the Golden Sun Kingdom by tomorrow.
Along the way, Murong Shang held onto Luo Bingbing, only stopping for meals and bathing, and his smile never faded.
However, he only held her and did not do anything else; he didn't even kiss her.
Ghost Valley was relatively close, so Yiziman quickly arrived at Mo City. After finding Shadowless to understand the situation, she suggested going to find Yelv Yan to demand the return of her master.
However, after hearing from Shadowless that they should wait three days before asking Yelv Yan for her master, she stopped insisting.
A day later, the Phoenix caught up with Dongfang Hao and his group. Upon seeing Dongfang Hao galloping along the Official Road, the Phoenix landed right in front of them.
Dongfang Hao and his companions were puzzled when they saw the Phoenix blocking their path and had no choice but to stop.
As soon as the Phoenix landed, the Snow Spirit Fox jumped down and quickly ran towards Dongfang Hao, saying directly, "Dongfang Hao, my master was taken by Murong Shang. You need to hurry and save my master! Don't go to Mo City; Yelv Yan and his group are innocent."
Hearing this, everyone was astonished, not only because this fox could speak human language but also due to the fact that Murong Shang had kidnapped Luo Bingbing.
Dongfang Hao and An Ruo Ran both ignored the fact that it could talk and immediately asked, "How do you know?"
After hearing Dongfang Hao's question, the Snow Spirit Fox recounted everything that had happened that night in detail.
While listening to the Snow Spirit Fox's account, Dongfang Hao pondered. Once he finished listening, he quickly realized that Murong Shang had used Illusion and guessed Murong Shang's intentions for kidnapping Luo Bingbing in Mo City.
Thus, he immediately shared what he knew with everyone and urged An Ruo Ran to quickly inform Shadowless not to act rashly and to explain the true situation to Shadowless.
At the same time, he instructed Miyazawa and Mo Xuan to immediately inform his people not to go to Mo City, but to reroute to Jincheng in the Golden Sun Kingdom.
However, to avoid raising Murong Shang's suspicions, he still directed the army of the Silver Moon Kingdom towards the border of Mohan Kingdom.
Nearby, the Snow Spirit Fox recalled that in its haste, it had forgotten to inform Shadowless.
It knew that Shadowless must be extremely anxious at that moment and might even cause trouble for Yelv Yan. Since Jincheng was far from Mo City, it volunteered to tell Shadowless and asked the Phoenix Horse to take Dongfang Hao and An Ruo Ran to Jincheng immediately to rescue the Little One.
Although it concealed its ability to teleport, Dongfang Hao and the others guessed that it had other special skills when they heard it speak human language, so they were not worried at all.
They then split up according to Snow Spirit Fox's instructions.
However, by this time, it was already the third day, and Shadowless and Yiziman had gone to the palace to demand Yelv Yan hand over Luo Bingbing.
Naturally, Yelv Yan could not comply with Shadowless's request, so Shadowless threatened to kill Yelv Yan, leading both sides to draw their weapons.
But because Yelv Qi intervened, stating that if they wanted to kill Yelv Yan, they should deal with him first, Shadowless and his group did not act immediately.
Mink saw this and began arguing fiercely with Yelv Qi. Just as they were about to draw their weapons against each other, Snow Spirit Fox suddenly appeared.
However, everyone was focused on Mink and Yelv Qi and did not notice its sudden arrival. It paid no attention to others' gazes; upon seeing Shadowless, it quickly leaped onto his shoulder.
Noticing something unusual, Shadowless turned around and saw it. Upon seeing Snow Spirit Fox, he was very pleased. He knew that Snow Spirit Fox had always been hidden in Luo Bingbing's sleeve; as long as Snow Spirit Fox led the way, they would surely find Luo Bingbing.
Thus, he immediately asked Snow Spirit Fox to take him to find the Little One without considering anyone else.
However, Snow Spirit Fox did not move; instead, it whispered in his ear that Murong Shang had kidnapped Luo Bingbing. It also relayed what Dongfang Hao had said to Shadowless.
Because the Snow Spirit Fox spoke in a very soft voice, no one around except for Shadowless could hear it, and they were unaware that it could talk.
When Shadowless first heard it, he was quite surprised, but he quickly brushed it off, thinking only about how the Little One had already been taken by Murong Shang to the Golden Sun Kingdom, and he needed to hurry to Jincheng to rescue them.
After learning the truth, Shadowless immediately instructed Mink to stop. He then shared what the Snow Spirit Fox had just told him.
Everyone was furious upon hearing this, saying that Murong Shang was truly malicious for trying to achieve two goals with one action.
After listening, Yelv Yan immediately ordered his army to head towards the border of the Silver Moon Kingdom. In his words, he could not allow Dongfang Hao to steal the show alone.
Previously, feeling guilty, even though he knew that Dongfang Hao had already mobilized troops against Mohan Kingdom, he had not sent his forces towards the border of Silver Moon Kingdom.
To make Murong Shang believe even more that Silver Moon Kingdom and Mohan Kingdom would go to war because of Luo Bingbing, Yelv Yan even arranged for a grand announcement stating that the two countries would go to war in two days.
As soon as he mentioned the announcement, Shadowless and Yiziman also quickly organized a promotion in Jincheng.
At this time, Murong Shang had already returned to the palace of Golden Sun Kingdom with Luo Bingbing. After placing Luo Bingbing in his chamber, he immediately took out a pill from a hidden compartment in the room and made her swallow it.
An hour later, Luo Bingbing slowly opened her eyes, but her mind was blank; she remembered nothing.
Seeing that she was awake, Murong Shang immediately asked, "You're awake. Are you hungry?"
Although her mind was blank and she remembered nothing, her cold nature meant she did not respond to Murong Shang's question.
After glancing at him, she quickly turned her gaze away and began examining Murong Shang's chamber.
Murong Shang noticed that she was ignoring him but did not mind; he let her look around. However, once Luo Bingbing finished examining the room, he promptly asked, "Are you satisfied with the arrangement of this chamber?"
Luo Bingbing still did not answer his question. After giving him a light glance, she began to examine the room.
Murong Shang, seeing that she was still inspecting the bedroom, continued, "I had everything arranged according to your preferences! So, what do you think? Do you like it?"
Indeed, Murong Shang had started gathering information about Luo Bingbing six years ago, probing into her likes and dislikes. It was only two years ago that he began to have this bedroom prepared.
This bedroom was a taboo within the Golden Sun Kingdom Palace. Before Luo Bingbing's arrival, no one else was allowed to enter except for him. Even Ouyang Yunxi had tried several times but had never been allowed in.
Moreover, the cleanliness of the bedroom was maintained daily by Murong Shang himself. In his words, in this world, apart from Luo Bingbing, no one else was qualified to enter his bedroom.
After examining the bedroom once more, Luo Bingbing did not respond to his question but directly asked, "Where is this place?"
"Our bedroom!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing asked again, "Who are you? What is our relationship?"
"I am Murong Shang, the current emperor of the Golden Sun Kingdom and also your husband. You can just call me Shang."
Since Luo Bingbing had lost her memory at that moment, she took his words at face value and lightly replied with an "Oh!" before continuing to ask, "Then who am I?"
