The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Ye Xiaohan led the way on horseback, with Yun Mujiu following closely behind.

That night, a full moon hung high in the sky, casting countless rays of light upon all things in the world.

The mountains are layered upon layered, and as far as the eye can see, there are endless mountain ranges.

The mountains were desolate, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the sounds of birds and beasts, and more often the rustling of the night wind through the forest.

An hour later, Ye Xiaohan led Yun Mujiu to the mouth of a mountain spring.

His features were cool and aloof, but his gaze softened as he looked at the woman beside him.

"Mu Jiu, are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid!" Yun Mujiu smiled, her eyes crinkling. "When we returned to the capital from the battlefield, didn't the prince tutor me and teach me how to swim?" She can swim now, and she even brought a diving fish skin suit.

"Okay! Stay close to me."

The two tied their horses to a large tree and quickly changed into close-fitting flying fish robes.

"Bang!" They both fell into the water.

This spring may look like just a small pond, but it actually contains a whole hidden world inside.

As you dive deeper and go further downstream, you'll find that it's unfathomably deep.

Fortunately, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu would get up for fresh air from time to time, so there was still some hope for this seemingly endless journey.

Further on, they entered a long tunnel, and sometimes when they peered out, they almost bumped into sharp rocks hanging upside down from the cave above.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint glimmer of light appeared ahead.

As you swim towards the light, you'll find that the space above you becomes more spacious and the water below you becomes shallower.

They stopped swimming and walked on the damp sand.

Ye Xiaohan carried Yun Mujiu on his back to prevent her from being in the water.

Finally, they reached a vast open area and discovered that countless bright, luminous pearls hung on the surrounding rocky cliffs.

This should be the deepest part of the cave.

Looking up, besides the winding, precipitous stone walls, one can only glimpse a small, round moon in the distance above the cave ceiling. This shows just how vast this place is.

They stood on the soft sand, feeling like ants among them.

Ye Xiaohan put Yun Mujiu down and used his inner strength to activate some hidden mechanisms on the cliff.

Yun Mujiu's eyes widened, still unable to help but be shocked by the astonishing strength displayed by the powerful man before her. Good heavens, the internal energy Ye Xiaohan is using right now is definitely not at the Martial Emperor level, amazing!

"Boom!" A loud noise.

Suddenly, the center of the open space split open, and beams of bright colored light shot out. Then, amidst the sky full of colored light, a huge thing rose up from the ground.

Ye Xiaohan put his arm around Yun Mujiu's shoulder and stepped aside.

The colorful light disappeared, and what came into view was a magnificent golden palace.

Ye Xiaohan pulled Yun Mujiu forward, and upon entering the palace, they discovered that the interior structure was not in the traditional palace style.

Inside the palace were still stone caves, but one after another.

Each grotto contains countless treasures that glow with colorful light, including expensive silks and satins, huge luminous pearls, rare medicinal herbs, and gold and gemstones.

Yun Mujiu's face showed surprise, as if she had never seen anything like it before. It wasn't that she was too unsophisticated, but rather that, in the entire world, who else could witness such a sight of so many rare and precious treasures? Today, she had truly had her eyes opened.

Ye Xiaohan watched Yun Mujiu's wonderful little expressions with amusement, and then pulled Yun Mujiu inside.

Ye Xiaohan pricked his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and smeared it on a gleaming golden gate.

The gates of Kinmen suddenly opened.

At the center of the palace is a spacious hall, surrounded by nine enormous golden dragons wrapped around golden pillars, seemingly so tall they could reach straight into the sky.

The surrounding scenery was dazzling, with countless gold and silver treasures, rare and precious materials, valuable weapons, and miraculous medicines.

Most of the items were stored in large, exquisite boxes, with only a few pointed ends peeking out. In reality, the boxes were still locked, not fully open.

Suddenly, a ball of light emitting white glow flew over.

It brushed past Yun Mujiu's shoulder, nuzzled her a few times, and finally appeared next to Ye Xiaohan.

Yun Mujiu realized, "Your Highness, could this be the spirit weapon recognizing its master that's mentioned in some storybook?"

Ye Xiaohan nodded, "Perhaps it came looking for me after I broke through the traps along the way."

Yun Mujiu added, "I don't think these treasures can be taken away easily, otherwise something bad will happen. They need to be recognized as masters first in order to control them."

Ye Xiaohan slightly raised his lips: "You're quite clever."

Yun Mujiu pointed to the nine giant pillars, "If we hadn't taken care of everything beforehand, this place might have collapsed and we would have been buried here."

"No, I will definitely get you out of here safely," Ye Xiaohan promised.

Yun Mujiu smiled and urged Ye Xiaohan to accept the ball of light quickly. Ye Xiaohan then pricked his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the ball of light.

In an instant, a brilliant golden light flashed.

The ball of light rushed towards Ye Xiaohan, who used his fingertips as a knife to cut it in two, then handed one of the balls of light to Yun Mujiu.

"One for Mu Mu, and one for me."

"what is this?"

"Once the Qiankun Sphere of the spiritual vein recognizes its master, the master can freely and safely enter and exit this spiritual vein palace."

Then, a faint, indescribable emotion appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "In addition, this Qiankun Ball also has the function of storing all things. Let's take the treasures and store them ourselves."

Yun Mujiu waved her hand in refusal, "Your Highness should take them all. There's no need to give them to me. The two orbs of light should be combined."

Ye Xiaohan said, "Separating them has no impact; the storage capacity remains the same. A palace is no problem."

Yun Mujiu was stunned, then smiled faintly: "Your Highness, do you know..."

"Mumu, I know."

"What!" Yun Mujiu was shocked. Her smile froze on her face. She looked up and saw that the man in front of her was serious and did not seem to be joking.

"Has Your Highness discovered my secret?"

"Some." Ye Xiaohan paused. "The Qiankun Space?"

Yun Mujiu nodded—"It has medical functions, not just simple Qiankun functions." It's a pity the doctor system can't be split in two, otherwise it could also be used by Ye Xiaohan. In Yun Mujiu's heart, Ye Xiaohan's importance is already equal to her own.

"Hmm." Ye Xiaohan's expression was calm, showing no fluctuation of emotion, and his clear eyes contained no trace of greed, fear, or cowardice.

"Then it won't matter if Mu Mu has one more." Ye Xiaohan activated the light orbs and teleported one of them to Yun Mujiu's right wrist.

The orb of light disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yun Mujiu reached out to touch it, and only when she consciously manipulated the orb could she vaguely see the pattern of the orb on her skin.

"Now, it's yours." Ye Xiaohan smiled.

He still has a lot to do, and if he is not careful, he may end up losing everything and dying.

Before that, he hoped he could provide Yun Mujiu with a guarantee for her future survival on her own. Even if he wasn't by her side, Yun Mujiu would live a good life.

Yun Mujiu felt a lump in her throat; this man truly gave and cherished her without reservation.

Then, Ye Xiaohan also received a ball of light into his wrist.

The two wandered through the main hall, collecting countless treasures.

Of course, they didn't choose to move everything; they left some room for maneuver and didn't take everything.

Besides, this palace is enormous, and countless treasures are hidden in every nook and cranny. It's not something they can find and clear out in just a few days.

Yun Muji packed the things up like vegetables. With the help of the spiritual vein treasure, she was certain that she and Ye Xiaohan would become the richest people on the Star Moon Continent!
