"Uh? Mmm mmm mmm!" Upon hearing her Demonically Charming Man explain, Ziyan immediately nodded in agreement, but—idiot?
"Are you calling me an idiot?" After a moment of reflection, Ziyan clearly realized that she had inadvertently been insulted by her own Monster.
"Uh? Did I? This King would never dare to call you that. This King was just making a comparison." Ling Yuxuan pretended to look innocent, but when he saw Beloved Child blushing from anger, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Bad person! You are a bad person, a really bad person." Facing the teasing from the Demonically Charming Man, Ziyan shouted loudly without caring about her image.
So, after Ling Yuxuan restored the mechanism at the entrance to its original state, the two of them left the waterfall area as if nothing had happened, playfully teasing each other.
As they walked hand in hand along the way back, Ziyan casually glanced at the cliff that had been destroyed by her Monster.
That glance startled her enough to stop in her tracks and tug hard on her Demonically Charming Man. Then she exclaimed, "Brother Yuxuan, look—"
Immediately, Ling Yuxuan turned to look at the spot she was pointing at.
Indeed, in the crevice of the cliff where it had been destroyed, there were still a few buds of the Soul-Collecting Mandala Flower that had not yet bloomed but looked like they would open within the next few days.
"Should we destroy these too?" As she spoke, Ziyan stretched out her hand still holding onto her Demonically Charming Man and prepared to channel energy through both palms.
"No, little one, leave them be; they will be useful later." Ling Yuxuan immediately stopped her and continued, "This type of plant has a very strong life force and grows extremely quickly. Don't be fooled by how they look now; in just a few days, they will grow back into a large patch. That's why General Heng chose to plant them here—to better protect this place."
"Uh? Oh!" In an instant, Ziyan understood his meaning.
Indeed, since the treasure had not yet been uncovered and only they knew the secret of the Soul-Collecting Mandala Flower, if anyone with ulterior motives came here again, they would surely be unable to approach the waterfall.
This means that the Natural Barrier has regenerated, which implies that even if they do not come back to this place for a while, whether it be three years or five, this batch of treasures will remain unaffected. If the Soul-Collecting Mandala Flower were to disappear, this place would surely be exposed easily.
With this in mind, Ziyan no longer struggled with the issue of the Soul-Collecting Mandala Flower. She happily took her Demon Prince's hand again and retraced their steps.
However, when they returned to the vast open field, Ziyan began to carefully examine the terrain, landscape, soil, and ground quality.
Such a large area left abandoned like this would be a tremendous waste! She could plant various spices here, and in the future, she would just be waiting to count her money.
“What are you planning to turn this back mountain of This King into?” Ling Yuxuan suddenly teased with a smile upon seeing her focused expression.
“Well, naturally I want to make the most of it. Not even a single inch should be left idle. Don’t worry, I’ll share my earnings with you,” Ziyan confidently replied while tilting her chin towards him.
“Hahaha—what do you mean by sharing? Aren't you entirely This King's? Then isn't all your money also This King's?” The Demon Prince intended to tease his Beloved Child again.
Little did he know that in the next moment, Ziyan immediately retorted, “Let’s be clear: my money is mine, and everything of yours is also mine.”
“Hahaha—does it really make a difference?”
“Of course it does.”
“Sigh—fine, you can have it your way.” Ultimately, their argument ended with a long sigh from the Demon Prince.
From then on, he understood one thing more clearly: never separate "you" and "me" in matters concerning his woman. Otherwise, she could change her attitude in an instant, and the speed of that change would be faster than flipping through a book.
"Hmph! You little brat!" Ziyan pouted, wearing a look of indifference as if she were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
On the way back, the two moved much slower than they had on their way there. Ziyan was unhurried, strolling leisurely as if wandering through the fields. She picked a dried foxtail grass from the Field and broke off some cedar branches, meandering along at a relaxed pace.
As a result, what should have taken them only a moment with their lightness skills ended up taking a full hour before they returned to the main courtyard.
Just as they arrived back at the main courtyard, the new squad leader of the guards, Li Yutong, immediately appeared to pay his respects, as Wu San and Wu Xiang were now stationed at other posts.
Li Yu was the first to speak: "Report to both masters, Xiang Wang Lingfeng and Princess Yu'er have come to congratulate you."
"Not seeing them," Demonically Charming Man Ling Yuxuan replied curtly.
"That wouldn't be good; after all, they are innocent like you. Why should we hold a grudge against them?" Ziyan said, noticing her Demonically Charming Man's suddenly cold expression and trying to persuade him gently.
"..." Demonically Charming Man Ling Yuxuan remained silent, but after hearing Ziyan's words, his expression softened somewhat.
"Guests are guests. Moreover, it’s not easy for them to travel such a long way. We should go meet them," Ziyan continued her persuasion with her silver tongue.
"Fine—I'll do it for my future wife," Ling Yuxuan finally relented and then turned to Li Yu, asking, "Where are they?"
"They are waiting for both masters in the front hall," Li Yu replied respectfully.
"Then take us to see them," Ling Yuxuan instructed after a brief hesitation.
"Yes! Master." Li Yutong and Li Bing immediately split to escort on the left and right.
Ling Yuxuan, holding Ziyan's hand, took the lead and walked towards the front hall. A few minutes later, they arrived at the front hall.
"Brother Yuxuan, Sister Ziyan, I've missed you so much!" As soon as Princess Ling Yuer saw Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan, she exclaimed and jumped up from her seat, rushing towards Ziyan and giving her a tight hug.
Ziyan, equally surprised yet somewhat helpless, hurriedly returned the embrace. "Sister Yuer, be careful! You are the Golden Branch and Jade Leaf of our Nanchu Kingdom."
"What nonsense about being the Golden Branch and Jade Leaf! I, Ling Yuer, am just Ziyan's sister. Got it?" Ling Yuer scoffed at her own status while boldly declaring her affection for Ziyan. At the same time, she deliberately poked Ziyan in the waist.
Ziyan could only smile and shake her head at this ever-enthusiastic princess sister's antics, then let out a long sigh. "Sigh—"
"What's wrong? Does my sister have something on her mind?" Ling Yuer looked at Ziyan curiously.
Ziyan didn't answer but subtly winked at Ling Yuer and then gestured towards her Demon Prince and Xiang Wang Lingfeng.
Ling Yuer was not foolish; she immediately understood what Ziyan meant! Their father in the palace had completely acknowledged everything that happened back then. And that Miao'er was no longer being hidden away; although the emperor intended to make her a consort, Miao'er had resolutely refused.
Moreover, she had been pleading with the Emperor's Son to let her out of the palace to find her son, who was now known as Xuan Wang Ling Yuxuan.
Ling Yuer certainly knew the background of this situation; it was already quite abrupt and awkward for her and Ling Feng to come seeking an audience.
At this moment, Ling Yuxuan and Sixth Prince Xiang Wang were facing each other, both looking at one another with wide eyes. They stared at each other for a long time without anyone speaking first, creating a rather awkward atmosphere.
"Hi! Why are you both just standing there? Brother Yuxuan, why don't you take us to visit that big supermarket you opened? Since we were eager to see Sister Ziyan earlier, we haven't had a chance to properly check out your supermarket."
Seeing this, Ling Yuer pretended to be silly and pitiful as she sought her half-brother Ling Yuxuan's opinion.
"Since we've come to Chu County, we should definitely take my sister to visit our big supermarket. How about this? Let's go now, and after the visit, I'll treat you all to a nice meal at Drunken Immortal Residence. What do you think?"
Ziyan immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hehehe—sounds great! My sister Ziyan is so generous. When you have your wedding next year, I will definitely give you a big gift," Ling Yuer shouted again, seizing the opportunity.
"Uh? Oh, how does sister know we're planning that for next year?" Ziyan paused, her face showing embarrassment.
"Pfft, it's not a big deal. If I want to know something, it’s easy for me to find out," Ling Yuer said with a self-satisfied expression.
"Oh, that's true. You are the first princess of Nanchu Kingdom and the most beautiful woman. Of course, nothing can be difficult for you," Ziyan smiled lightly and then teased her intentionally.
"Hahaha—stop making fun of your sister. What first beauty? I can't possibly claim that title. In my opinion, my sister Ziyan is the true first beauty of Nanchu. Not only that, but she should also be recognized as the first talented woman in Nanchu," Ling Yuer praised Ziyan without holding back.
"Haha—this King also agrees with what my sister said. The title of the first talented woman in Nanchu absolutely belongs to Sister Ziyan." Just as Ling Yuer finished speaking, Xiang Wang Lingfeng, who usually talked a lot, chimed in.
In that moment, the atmosphere became much more harmonious. Meanwhile, the young people began chatting animatedly about various topics.
