“Are we really going to let her go to the Huolan Ruins? I only have one daughter. I can’t watch her take the risk!” Before Shen Liu’an could put on his shoes, Song Lanyue pulled him onto the bed again. “Yue’er, don’t stop me. If 1 don’t chase after her now, it’ll be too late!”
“It’s too late for you to chase after her now. If 1 wanted you to chase after her, 1 would have told you as soon as I discovered that Yaoyao had left last night. Yaoyao has already made up her mind. It’s useless for you to chase after her. Moreover, our strength is inferior to Yaoyao. We’ll only drag Yaoyao down if we go.” Song Lanyue saw Shen Liu’an’s frown and raised her hand to touch the space between his eyebrows. “It’s said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Just let Yaoyao go.”
“But I’m worried about her safety. Ever since something happened to His Highness Li, this child has changed a lot. She doesn’t cherish her body too much. If anything happens to her…” Shen Liu’an became more and more uneasy.
“You’re wrong. It’s precisely because of His Highness Li that Yaoyao won’t take the risk. Just like how you want me to come back, we’ve both been through this before. How can we stop our daughter from pursuing her happiness?” Song Lanyue pulled Shen Liu’an and advised earnestly, “When her three brothers know that she left early later, they’ll definitely be in a mess. As parents, we have to act as an example and persuade them to understand Yaoyao and wait for her to come home.”
Shen Liu’an saw that Song Lanyue looked tired and knew very well that she was more worried than them.
Otherwise, Song Lanyue wouldn’t have sat there for the whole night.
But while she was worried, she hoped that Yaoyao would be happy, so she didn’t stop her.
Thinking of his wife’s good intentions, as her husband, how could he not cooperate?
“Alright. In a while, I’ll remind Feng’er and the other two to help His Highness manage the big and small matters of Prince Li’s Manor together. Even if His Highness can’t return in the future, it can comfort Yaoyao.” Shen Liu’an sighed helplessly. As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the room with his wife.
Time passed. Half a month later.
Ten miles away from the Huolan Ruins, at Huolan Town.
Around Huolan Town was an endless desert. At noon, the dazzling hot sun released scorching heat in the sky, roasting the golden desert.
Heat waves surged into the sky, and a snow-white figure was especially obvious in the golden desert.
Shen Yaowei wrapped her skin in a white robe. A strong wind blew with fine sand. She wiped her eyes and looked up at the dazzling hot sun.
This was already the eighth day she had walked in the desert. Shen Yaowei was exhausted both physically and mentally. She took out the water bag at her waist and drank the last mouthful of water.
A mouthful of water was only enough to wet her mouth. Shen Yaowei’s throat was so dry that it was about to smoke. She looked at Huolan Town not far away.
Huolan Town stood in the yellow sand intermediate. At a glance, it was extremely dilapidated. There was no one around, as if it had long been abandoned.
Swallowing her dry throat and continuing forward, Shen Yaowei walked to the intermediate of Huolan Town. She looked at the messy street and picked up a notice from the ground.
The notice marked various things about the Huolan Ruins. It clearly recorded that only citizens who had once lived in the Huolan Nation were qualified to enter the Huolan Ruins. Other outsiders couldn’t even enter the door without the guidance of their bloodlines.
“Miss, you also want to participate in the exploration of the ruins tomorrow? Then you’re a little late, Miss. Today, the orphans of the Huolan Nation gathered a lot of people in an inn not far away and formed a powerful team, preparing to go to the ruins together tomorrow.” At this moment, a drunk-looking beggar in tattered clothes walked forward and stretched out his hand to Shen Yaowei. “However, those hot-blooded men still need some female pets to lead them on their way. If Miss can give me some money, 1 can point you in the right direction and tell you the location of the inn.”
Shen Yaowei took out a golden leaf and handed it to the beggar. “Speak..”
