Chapter 306: Little White Returned
“Your Highness, one should not accept rewards without any merits. I can’t accept this gift.” Her feeling of being surprised was just that, thus Ling Chuxi still pushed back the Jade Blood Ginseng.
“It is a small gift, it does not suffice to express my sincere intentions. I hope Miss Chuxi can accept this.” The first prince smiled but was not willing to take back the Jade Blood Ginseng.
Pushing here and there, the first prince was unwilling to take back the Jade Blood Ginseng. Ling Chuxi knew that today this matter could not end just like that and thus accepted it without a choice. After this was settled, she needed to think of a way to return it. Anyway, the maelstrom of the fight for power amongst the princes was not one that she was the least bit interested in getting caught up in.
The meeting with the first prince very quickly ended. The first prince gave a gift, but did not say much. Ling Chuxi naturally knew that the other party was planning to slow carry out his plans.
After returning to Fu Chengyu’s residence, Ling Chuxi gave the Jade Blood Ginseng to Fu Chengyu and said helplessly. “A gift from the first prince. I couldn’t reject it. Find a way to return it to him.”
“Hmph! This evil spirit that does not disperse won’t let things go so easily. I’m afraid that there are other methods upcoming.” Fu Chengyu’s expression was dark as deep waters. He understood this elder imperial brother of his too well. The first prince was ruthless and used all sorts of unscrupulous methods and never let things go before achieving his goals.
“Then won’t I be annoyed to death in the future?” Ling Chuxi scratched her head. She was not afraid of the first prince, it was just that if things continued on like this without an end, she would definitely be annoyed to death. Suddenly she had a good idea. “That’s right, the treasure map. I could go and take a look at what the treasure is and also hide for a bit at the same time.”
“That works too.” Ling Yichen heard this and also agreed. Now that he and Ling Chuxi had already experienced the heavenly lightning striking the body, their cultivation was not like in the past. They could go and see what the so-called treasure hid.
“That’s good too.” Fu Chengyu nodded in agreement. “However, it is extremely dangerous. Don’t bring along Xia Zhuoyi and Lan Xinyu.”
“Yeah. Big Brother Fu, your body is not well either. Then only Yichen and I will go.” Ling Chuxi made the final word.
…
On the night before Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were to leave, Little White returned! Ling Chuxi had already gotten used to how Little White appeared and disappeared. In the mid of the night, Little White very familiarly tunneled into Ling Chuxi’s covers and sprawled on Ling Chuxi’s chest to sleep. Ling Chuxi grabbed Little White tightly and continued to sleep deeply.
Following the direction in which the treasure map was pointing toward, it should be at the borders of the Nan Xia Country, within the Silver Ancient Mountain Range. After packing their belongings, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen started out to the Silver Ancient Mountain Range.
According to Wen Qing, her mother had already surpassed Battle Qi Level-9, but still ended up with losing her life. One could imagine how terrifying this treasure was. So, regardless of how Lan Xinyu made a fuss to tag along, Ling Chuxi did not agree.
Entering into the Silver Ancient Mountain Range once again, Ling Chuxi’s mentality was totally different from the last time she visited. She was much more relaxed. Ling Chuxi walked toward the inner parts of the mountain range as she happily enjoyed the view along the way. Amidst the faint mist, the peaks presented ever-changing and interesting postures, such as white cranes spreading out, or horses galloping, or goddess flying into the sky. It really left one feeling dazzled. Little White lay on Ling Chuxi’s shoulders, yawning and looking extremely lazy. Ling Yichen didn’t feel strange about Little White’s sudden appearance. In short, when Little White was around, Ling Chuxi would be in a good mood. He was happy to see such a situation.
As Ling Yichen walked, he compared the place against the map drawn on the goatskin. The Silver Ancient Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles. Among them, there were countless odd mountains. Even if they were following a map, if they made the slightest mistake, they could end up thousands of miles away.
