On this day.
The entire supermarket, both inside and outside, was bustling with an unprecedented liveliness!
At the entrance of the supermarket, there was a sea of people stretching nearly a mile, and more were arriving from all directions.
Old Man Mo, the boss of Jishitang, could not help but rush out from his clinic to join the crowd and watch the lively scene.
Meanwhile, the elders from the Heavenly Pivot Sect had already gathered a few dozen feet away from the supermarket entrance, eagerly watching the event and swallowing their saliva.
Some were secretly wondering to themselves: why hadn't they thought of such a profitable method?
Looking at those people with expressions full of envy and jealousy, Ziyan simply smiled calmly. In her heart, she silently scoffed: if this little supermarket could astonish you so much, just wait until you see what else will amaze you in the future!
While everyone else was observing the crowded entrances and exits of the supermarket and the long lines waiting to enter, one person's gaze remained fixed on her beloved child's calm and beautiful face.
This person was none other than Ling Yuxuan, the foremost figure in Chu County.
Two hours later.
Ziyan, who had initially been in high spirits, found herself feeling a bit bored as this situation unfolded, which was largely within her expectations.
Since the most nerve-wracking time before the opening had passed and so many capable subordinates were present today, there was no reason for her to feel anxious anymore.
Thus, Ziyan decided to quietly leave the scene.
"I want to take a stroll in the back courtyard of Wangfu," Ziyan suddenly remembered that she had never properly explored the vast mountainous area behind Xuan Wang Fu.
Ziyan suddenly felt that she should make good use of that piece of land for some reason. It would be best to have everything planned out before spring arrived, so she could utilize it properly.
"Are you not going to take care of this?" Demon Prince Ling Yuxuan was a bit curious about Ziyan's intention to leave at this moment, especially since they hadn't yet attended the celebration banquet.
"With so many capable people around, do you think it's necessary for me to handle everything personally?" Ziyan replied with a nonchalant expression.
"Well, that's true. Then let's go!" Ling Yuxuan said with a relaxed smile. After speaking, he casually took her small hand, and the two quickly slipped away into the crowd.
Once they left the crowd, they didn't even take a carriage but jumped onto the rooftops during the day. They used their lightness skills to leap from eaves to walls as they headed toward Xuan Wang Fu.
With their current skills, they could easily avoid people's gazes even in broad daylight.
Therefore, it didn't take long for them to return to Xuan Wang Fu without anyone noticing, and they swiftly arrived at the back mountain of the royal residence.
When Ziyan, together with her Demonically Charming Man, leaped up to the top of the ancient tree where they had first entered this courtyard, she looked down at the vast land below. Today, Ziyan felt exceptionally content and relaxed.
Not long ago, she had perfectly and successfully accomplished something that would soon stir the entire nation.
Ziyan leaned slightly against her Demonically Charming Man's embrace and closed her eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath of fresh air with a sense of satisfaction.
Just as Ziyan was lost in her own thoughts, she suddenly heard Ling Yuxuan call her softly: "Yan'er!"
"Huh?" Ziyan looked up at her in confusion.
"Look over there," Ling Yuxuan squinted slightly but kept her gaze fixed on the mountain peak in the eastern distance. Her eyes hardly blinked!
"Huh? Where?" Following Ling Yuxuan's gaze, Ziyan also looked toward the eastern end. Wasn't that just a rugged mountainous area? Ziyan felt a bit puzzled.
"No, little one, take another good look." As the voice of her Demonically Charming Man echoed in her ears again, Ziyan carefully observed that place once more. This time, she could slightly make out what seemed to be a long, narrow waterfall resembling a vertical white satin, faintly visible towards the west.
"A waterfall?" Ziyan stated what she saw.
"Let's go check it out at the foot of the mountain." Before finishing her sentence, Ling Yuxuan wrapped his arm around Ziyan's slender waist, and the two of them used their lightness skills to leap over the trees as if they were dragonflies skimming the water.
In no time at all, they arrived at the foot of the waterfall.
Then Ling Yuxuan fixed his gaze intently on the waterfall and its surroundings for a long while. Finally, he spoke again while pulling something out from his pocket. "Little one, take a good look at this."
Ziyan casually glanced at what was in his hand. "Oh—" Wasn't this the two Sheepskin Maps they discovered together years ago in the vast jungle of Hengfeng County, which was also Heng Yuxiang's treasure site?
"Take another good look at this one." Ling Yuxuan took one of the maps and unfolded it in front of Ziyan.
Thus, Ziyan tilted her head and carefully examined the map.
"Wow—" As soon as she finally discerned all the patterns on the map, she couldn't help but exclaim, instinctively covering her mouth with both hands.
"How is it? Did you figure it out?" Ling Yuxuan gently patted his Beloved Child's little head to soothe her shocked heart.
Ziyan didn't respond but nodded her head like a little chick that had finally found food, adorably cute.
"Let's get a bit closer and take a look." Just as Ziyan was still in disbelief, her Demon Prince took her hand and led her toward the waterfall.
"Truly, after searching high and low, we find it without any effort!" As they got closer, Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but express the same amazement he had felt when they first stumbled upon the treasure site in the jungle of Hengfeng.
"Yes! This also proves the old saying that those who seek flowers may not find them, while those who do not seek may find willows growing in shade. Monster, it seems our fortune is indeed quite profound—" At the same time, Ziyan shared her own thoughts.
Then, the two of them tilted their heads and looked at each other, followed by a calm smile.
What good fortune and luck they had encountered! At this moment, this young couple was truly unable to suppress their excitement and joy.
Just after their excitement settled down, Ling Yuxuan suddenly remembered something.
He unfolded the Sheepskin Map again, and after taking a serious look at it, his brows furrowed tightly, and his expression turned quite helpless.
"What's wrong?" Ziyan immediately had a bad feeling.
"Little Cutie, it seems that General Heng wants to test our patience and abilities," Ling Yuxuan remarked.
"Uh? What do you mean?" Ziyan was quite confused upon hearing this.
"Just take a look!" Ling Yuxuan didn't explain further this time and directly handed the map to Ziyan.
Ziyan carefully spread out the map and stared at it intently for a long time.
Finally, she discovered its intricacies and immediately understood her Demon Prince's helplessness from a moment ago.
It turned out that although General Heng Yuxiang had sketched and marked the scenic views on the map's surface and the treasures piled up like hills inside the cave, he had also left something out.
He deliberately did not outline or mark the route into the treasure from this mountain range. This clearly indicated that in order to obtain that massive treasure, they would need some solid or extraordinary skills.
It was impossible to effortlessly acquire the achievements of those who came before them!
"Hehehe..." As Ziyan thought of General Heng Yuxiang's good intentions, she couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
Looking at Ziyan like this, the next moment, Demon Prince Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but smile wryly at his Beloved Child.
So next, the Monster King had no choice but to hold Ziyan's hand and carefully examine the terrain in front of the mountain waterfall. Since their ancestors deliberately did not mark the entrance and route to this treasure, there must be a reason for it.
Similarly, this place should also be filled with traps. Therefore, they could not afford to be the slightest bit careless or negligent.
But for some reason? They clearly saw the waterfall right in front of them, yet they just kept walking and walking, and after a long time, it seemed as if the distance between them and the waterfall had never changed, as if it had always been that far away.
At this point, both Ziyan and Ling Yuxuan realized what was happening. It turned out they had already entered the range of traps and were caught in a formation similar to the legendary Ghost Wall.
When Ziyan was feeling quite dissatisfied and intended to step forward to try again, she was forcibly pulled back by her Demonically Charming Man. "Don't move!"
"Uh? Why? Are we just going to stand here forever?" Ziyan asked, somewhat unwilling and speechless.
"No, my dear, please be patient. This should be the Illusion Formation from Qimen Dunjia," Ling Yuxuan said in a very serious tone, though it was evident that a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
"How do you know?" Ziyan asked, noticing his confident expression and pressing for more information.
"Hmph! Have you forgotten that when we found General Heng, besides obtaining two Sheepskin Maps and your Master's Jade Pendant, you also handed me a book titled Qimen Dunjia?" Ling Yuxuan calmly reminded his seemingly a bit confused Beloved Child.
