As Feng Yuqin had expected, she went to the Cloudpeak Forest. As a result, Yun Feiyue's men failed to stop the person they intended to intercept. Yun Ningshuang was so angry that she smashed all the breakable things in the palace.
Yun Feiyue didn't look happy either.
This was the first time he had failed.
Upon learning that Feng Yuqin had entered the Cloudpeak Forest, he arranged for men to guard outside the forest.
Unfortunately, Yun Feiyue was soon to experience his second failure in life.
...
The Cloudpeak Forest.
"We're almost at the middle area. Aren't you going back yet?" Feng Yuqin said helplessly, seeing that the man had been following her all the way.
"Wherever my princess goes, I'll go too," Mo Xuanye said seriously.
Feng Yuqin rolled her eyes. "I'm not ready to get married yet. So if you're eager to find a princess, the Tianyuan Continent is vast. You're sure to find someone you like."
"The one I like is right in front of me. Why should I bother looking elsewhere?" Mo Xuanye said calmly. "Besides, I've set my heart on you. You're the only one for me in this lifetime."
Feng Yuqin stopped in her tracks and stared at him intently.
"What? Do you think your husband has a good-looking face that catches your eye?" Mo Xuanye said charmingly.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
"How can I tell if your face is good-looking when you're wearing a mask?" Feng Yuqin said, rubbing her forehead.
"Does Qin'er want to take off my mask?" Mo Xuanye hooked the corner of his mouth.
"No," Feng Yuqin had actually wanted to ask him if he had set his heart on the former Feng Yuqin or the current one when she was staring at him just now.
But his interruption made her suddenly lose the desire to ask.
Anyway, as she had said, she didn't want to get married.
She'd think about it when she was ready.
Knowing that telling him to leave again would be in vain, Feng Yuqin stopped trying to persuade him.
Passing through the middle area, they reached the northernmost part.
The north was the most dangerous area in the Cloudpeak Forest.
Few people came here because it was extremely perilous.
Feng Yuqin had a keen sense of danger. As soon as she stood here, she could feel that the north was full of perils.
Even Mo Xuanye, who had always been smiling, looked solemn at this moment. "Qin'er, tell me what you need. I'll go find it for you. You just wait outside."
Feng Yuqin glanced at him. "Life is so long. I can't rely on others every time I encounter danger."
If she did, how could she travel the world alone?
"Qin'er, I'm not joking with you," Mo Xuanye said seriously. "Although I'm not weak, the north is a place left over from a long - ago era. Even the most powerful people will encounter various problems when they go in. We might be standing together now, but the next moment, we could be separated. I'm worried about you going in."
"Are you saying there's a force inside that will separate us?" Feng Yuqin had just been thinking that if there was danger, Mo Xuanye was there. With his great strength, he should be able to protect her.
"Yes, so wait for me outside," Mo Xuanye said.
Feng Yuqin hesitated and was about to nod when the voice of Xiaojin sounded in her mind. "Master, go in. There are good things inside."
"Didn't you hear it's dangerous?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows.
"It shouldn't be a big problem," Xiaojin said.
"Although I like adventures, I value my life more," Feng Yuqin said.
"Master, I've also sensed it. You shouldn't be in any life - threatening danger," Xiaoying also said.
"So both of you think so?" Feng Yuqin didn't expect her two beast pets to encourage her to go in.
"To be precise, it's Xiaojin. He sensed that there are treasures inside. If it can arouse Xiaojin's interest, it shouldn't be bad," Xiaoying said.
Feng Yuqin sighed. It seemed she had no choice but to go in.
"I'm going in. You go back," Feng Yuqin said.
"Qin'er..." Mo Xuanye felt that he had never been so patient in his life.
In the past, his character had nothing to do with patience, and he was extremely cold.
That's why he had the title of the Cold - faced Prince.
But he found that as long as he met this woman, all his coldness would turn to dust.
"If you really don't want to go back, come in with me?" Feng Yuqin looked at Mo Xuanye and said.
It was the first time Feng Yuqin had invited him instead of pushing him away.
This alone made Mo Xuanye surrender.
Xiaojin in the space was a bit excited when he saw Feng Yuqin go in.
"Are there really good things?" Feng Yuqin asked curiously, seeing how happy he was.
"Yes, yes. Really good things. After all, I'm a Gold - Devouring Beast. I'm naturally sensitive to treasures. I can feel that there's a really, really, really big treasure inside," Xiaojin exaggerated.
But Feng Yuqin could sense Xiaojin's anticipation from his tone.
Now she didn't expect not to be seriously injured. All she hoped for was to at least stay alive.
"Master, your vitality is very strong. I can feel it. So even if there's danger, you'll at most get injured, but you won't be in life - threatening danger," Xiaoying had also agreed with Xiaojin's idea because of this.
Feng Yuqin felt a bit more relieved. As long as she could stay alive.
Roar!
The roar of the demonic beast pulled Feng Yuqin back to reality.
The sound seemed very painful. Feng Yuqin looked in the direction of the sound. "Did the demonic beasts fight with each other?"
Mo Xuanye said, "I'll go in and take a look. You wait outside."
"Let's go in together," Feng Yuqin thought that if it weren't for her, Mo Xuanye wouldn't have been here in the north. So even if there was danger ahead, she couldn't let him go alone.
A strange look flashed in Mo Xuanye's deep eyes. He nodded. "Okay."
The two walked deeper together. Demonic beasts would appear along the way, but with a wave of Mo Xuanye's hand, they were easily taken care of.
Seeing him kill a demonic beast so effortlessly, Feng Yuqin twitched the corner of her mouth.
It was really great to be powerful.
In this dangerous place, ordinary people didn't dare to come, but he walked in as if he were taking a stroll.
"Have you noticed anything strange?" Feng Yuqin said.
"You noticed?" Mo Xuanye raised his eyebrows.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "I feel like we're going in circles."
A look of admiration flashed in Mo Xuanye's eyes. "You reacted earlier than I expected. Qin'er is truly remarkable."
Feng Yuqin rolled her eyes in an unladylike way. "So you noticed it earlier but didn't say anything?"
To avoid discouraging her, Mo Xuanye said with a smile, "Just a little bit earlier than you."
Feng Yuqin wasn't stupid. She could easily guess his intention.
But precisely because of this, her impression of this man improved a bit.
She had strongly rejected anyone getting close to her before, being as prickly as a hedgehog.
This was all because a good partner in her previous life had died in front of her.
After that, she thought it was better to be alone. This way, she didn't have to give her feelings or care about anyone, which was convenient.
So when Mo Xuanye appeared, she had been repulsive.
But this man didn't leave. Instead, he had been persistent, and finally managed to squeeze open a small crack in her heart.
