Su Xue nodded, and there was a somewhat shy yet delighted expression on her face as she wept with joy. “Yes.”
He still remembered that she was his Snow Concubine, and that was enough. Her thousand years of waiting had not gone in vain, and everything was worth it.
“From now on, don’t call yourself a snow concubine. There’s only one person in my harem, and that’s Yun’er.”
Upon hearing these words, Su Xue’s face grew pale, and her body couldn’t help but tremble. She opened her mouth to say, “King…”
Did the king mean to displace her? Or did he want to strip her of her concubine status and demote her to a commoner?
“What?” Su Jingfeng raised his voice a little.
Su Xue lowered her head with tears in her eyes, then bit her lower lip lightly. After exhausting her strength, she slowly uttered a single word, “Yes.”
Su Jingfeng curled the corners of his lips in a bewitching manner, and his bloodthirsty red eyes shone brightly. Yun’er, you’ll be the only one in my harem, so you can come back now.
Su Xue waited for awhile, and after not receiving any more instructions from him, she slowly withdrew from the hall. She slowly closed the heavy doors of the hall, and when they were shut, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears started flowing from the corner of her eyes.
“Niang Niang, has the king awakened?” A man greeted him and asked expectantly.
“Niang Niang?” Su Xue turned around and looked up at the dazzling light, then started to chuckle in self-deprecation. She had waited for a thousand years, guarded him for a thousand years, loved him for a thousand years, and even spent a thousand years helping him look for a queen.
She didn’t expect him to reciprocate her feelings or to make her a queen, but instead, look at her and keep her by his side once he woke up.
However, as soon as he woke up, he stripped her of concubine status, so how could she not feel disheartened? How could she not be heartbroken, how could he be so unfeeling towards her!
“Niang Niang?” The man gazed at Su Xue in bewilderment, and felt that Niang Niang seemed a little different from before.
Su Xue raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes. While trying to stop the tears from falling, she commanded in a grave voice, “Hurry up and look for the queen.”
What about after they found her?
Were they really going to bring the queen back to the king?
Su Xue squinted and looked at the dazzling sunlight. If even that couldn’t warm her heart broken by the king, should she really bring the queen back for the king?
She had to think — would it be worth it?
Should she bring the queen back, or kill the queen?
Under the guidance of the wood spirit power, Feng Tianlan looked for the exit of the secret realm. The exit would be where the strongest Nature Spiritual Force was, so he intuitively followed Nature Spiritual Force. He simply walked without touching any extra things to avoid accidentally turning on the mechanism.
“Lady Feng.”
Upon being called, Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and saw Shi Yiqing walking towards her quickly. Chen Xinlu followed behind him, and from the expression in his eyes, it seemed as if he was wishing to eat her. She couldn’t help but frown.
“Master Shi.” Feng Tianlan nodded lightly and greeted him aloofly, then walked forward.
Shi Yiqing walked to her side quickly. “Where did you go? When I went back, I didn’t see you nor could I find you nearby, so I left.”
After coaxing Lu’er, he was worried about Feng Tianlan. He searched all around, but found no one.
“Look for an exit.” Not wanting to allow Shi Yiqing to walk side by side with her, Feng Tianlan walked a step ahead. It was Mo Bai’s.
Shi Yiqing discovered that her walking speed was very fast, but he had tested her spiritual power before, and it was only elementary level. It seemed that she had some physical training, probably because she lacked natural talent.
“The exit is this way, and there’s still a day left. I’ll escort Lady Feng out safely,” Shi Yiqing said enthusiastically.
