You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

He dared not delay and immediately sent someone to report to the Emperor.

Meanwhile, in the shadows from another direction.

The people sent by the Empress also discovered Xiaoxiao's whereabouts and followed her silently as well.

In their eyes, this little vixen must be up to some shady magic again!

Meanwhile, in the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Aslan, who had been forcibly dragged back, slept for half a day under the influence of calming incense. When he woke up, although he was no longer insane, the violence in his eyes had not diminished at all.

"What about her?"

He asked in a hoarse voice.

"Your Highness, Princess Xiaoxiao... has gone towards the Cold Palace."

Aslan sat up abruptly in bed and grabbed the sword from the bedside table.

"Show off!"

He wanted to see what this little swindler who had gotten him into such a mess was really up to!

In an instant, the three groups, each with their own thoughts, quietly surrounded the same destination – the gloomy Cold Palace.

……

The Cold Palace truly lived up to its name.

The closer you get, the colder and damper the air becomes.

Vines climbed all over the dilapidated palace walls, and the wind howled through the broken window frames, sounding just like a woman's weeping.

"Quack~Quack~"

Several crows were startled and took flight, flapping their wings and soaring into the night sky with mournful cries.

Xiaoxiao shrank back in fright and hugged the exploration instrument tightly in her arms.

very scary!

I should have asked the master for a spotlight!

She encouraged herself as she carefully avoided the broken tiles and weeds on the ground, trudging through the muddy water.

For Master's country! For endless little money! Su Xiaoxiao, you can do it!

Following the map's directions, she quickly found a dried-up well deep within the Cold Palace.

This is the most remote location, and also the one that best meets the geological requirements.

She looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then took out the oddly shaped exploration device from her pocket.

Actual space.

Those hiding in the shadows were stunned.

That little pocket, around a child's waist, could actually hold such a big thing?

It really is a treasure!

You must tell your master.

"Buzz~"

She pressed the start button, and the instrument emitted a soft beeping sound before the screen lit up.

In the distance, several groups of people hidden in the shadows held their breath.

The guard's pupils contracted. Could someone tell him what that thing was? It not only glowed, but it also made a sound.

Could there be a secret room or mechanism here?

The Empress was so frightened that she began chanting Buddhist prayers!

He kept talking, and his hands and feet were trembling.

Sorcery! This is definitely sorcery!

Ji Xiaoxiao is no little princess at all, she's clearly a vixen! And right now she's definitely casting a spell.

Aslan's confidants, hiding in the shadows, were also dumbfounded.

Is this awkward?

I've never encountered this before, and I have no idea how to tell the Crown Prince.

And little princess, where did you get such a big lump of iron from?

Xiaoxiao had no idea that many people were watching her.

The little girl tried hard to recall the steps shown in the video. She had already tried it, so she was sure she would be fine. Her master was still waiting for the results.

The little girl skillfully attached the drill bit and aimed it at the ground.

"start up!"

The voice was very soft and childlike, spoken in a very low voice.

Even though it's the Cold Palace, you still have to be careful; you can't let anyone see you.

While speaking, the little girl didn't forget to press the drilling button.

"time after time"

It was an extremely strange sound; the drill bit was already spinning at high speed, almost invisible.

In no time at all, it had already burrowed into the ground.

Dust billowed up, and Xiaoxiao quickly took a few steps back.

I almost got sucked in; this thing is too powerful.

You must wear a mask when you use it in the future.

"10 meters deep, rock strata analysis begins... composition matches!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao was so surprised she almost jumped up.

She quickly switched modes and used a different hollow tube.

This is used to extract rock samples.

The machine is not difficult to operate, and the core sample was extracted in no time.

The machine can't analyze this; I'll have to hand it over to my master later.

Xiaoxiao carefully sealed the items and stored them in her storage space.

It's finally done, but I'm not sure if the stuff here is suitable.

I hope so!

Xiaoxiao didn't want to disappoint her master's side.

Xiaoxiao moved to another location, put the large iron lump away, and then released it from her spatial storage.

She couldn't lift something this big herself.

With the experience gained the first time, it became much easier the second time.

With both samples in hand, the mission was finally complete.

Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the surveying instrument away.

At that moment, Xiaoxiao suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The little girl pricked up her ears, as if she heard a rustling sound.

Is it an animal or a person?

Xiaoxiao's small body stiffened, and she immediately sensed something was wrong.

Alarm bells rang in Xiaoxiao's mind. Almost instinctively, she pulled a short black stick from her pocket.

This is a self-defense weapon given to me by my master: an electric baton!

Before she could turn around and press the switch, a cloth with a strangely sweet scent suddenly covered her mouth and nose from the darkness.

not good!

A date rape drug!

Xiaoxiao only had time to utter the word "think" before the sweet fragrance she inhaled transformed into an irresistible dizziness, instantly overwhelming her senses. Her small body went limp, and the stun gun in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud," making a crisp sound.

A tall, dark figure emerged from the darkness, quickly bending down to glance at the still-humming, glowing exploration instrument on the ground.

This thing is too big and too conspicuous; I can't take it with me.

Without the slightest hesitation, the shadowy figure hoisted the unconscious Xiaoxiao onto his shoulder, picked up the strangely shaped short stick from the ground, and with a few swift movements, vanished into the deeper night like a ghost, disappearing without a trace.
