Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, what a coincidence!" A handsome young man in the team waved at them enthusiastically.

Jiang Lingyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Pei Ao looking at them excitedly. Standing next to him was her good friend Luo Qingyun.

She nodded at the two of them.

The peach-colored figure in front of the team was extremely familiar. It was the eighth princess Jiang Lingyao.

"Oh, you're still alive." The Eighth Princess looked at her and chuckled, "You've persisted for a whole day, you still have some skills."

Jiang Lingyue didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and said to Pei Ao and Luo Qingyun: "We'll leave first."

After saying that, he continued to move forward with Lin Lige and Murong Bing.

"Wait." Jiang Lingyao called out to them, "Did this princess let you go?"

"Eighth Sister, is there anything else?" Jiang Lingyue stopped and looked back at her.

"Hand over the spiritual herbs you collected." Jiang Lingyao said straight to the point.

"Why?" Jiang Lingyue frowned. They had worked hard to find these elixirs.

"Just because this princess likes it." Jiang Lingyao raised her chin proudly, "If you don't give it to me, don't even think about leaving here."

Jiang Lingyue looked at her coldly, "You are robbing me by force."

"Hmph, there is nothing this princess wants that she cannot get." Jiang Lingyao curled her lips in disdain.

At this time, Pei Ao said: "Ninth Prince, I will go with you."

Luo Qingyun also followed Pei Ao, left the Eighth Princess' team, and came to Jiang Lingyue and the other two.

He warned his former teammates, "The dean said that infighting is prohibited and violators will be severely punished."

"You guys..." Jiang Lingyao stamped her feet in anger, "Well, you guys dared to disobey me. I will remember you!"

"Princess Eighth, don't be anxious." Chen Ting, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who was standing beside Jiang Lingyao, advised gently, "This is just the beginning. There will be plenty of opportunities later."

Watching the figures of the people walking away, the Eighth Princess was furious, and Chen Ting's eyes flashed with resentment...

Jiang Lingyue, Lin Lige, Murong Bing, Pei Ao, Luo Qingyun and a group of five people continued to move forward.

Not long after, they found a crack in the mountain that was barely wide enough for one person to pass through, and wind blew out from the crack.

"There seems to be a different world in here." Jiang Lingyue looked around at the people, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Since I'm here, of course I have to go and take a look." Lin Lige's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, everyone just be careful." Murong Bing also nodded in agreement.

"No risk, no gain." Luo Qingyun showed no fear.

"I'll take the lead." Pei Ao's blood suddenly boiled.

Pei Ao entered the crack first, followed by others.

The light inside was very dim and I could only barely see the road. The stone walls on both sides of the gap were uneven and some damp places were covered with moss.

Turning sideways, they passed through a long and narrow corridor and came to a spacious and tall cave.

In the center of the cave is a glowing tree, laden with fruits of various colors.

"This is..." Jiang Lingyue looked at the wonderful sight in front of her in surprise.

"It seems to be the legendary spiritual tree." Lin Lige said excitedly.

"It is said that eating the fruit of the spiritual tree can improve one's cultivation." A trace of desire flashed in Murong Bing's eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Go pick the fruit." Pei Ao rushed over impatiently.

Just when he was about to touch the fruit, the spirit tree suddenly emitted a ray of light and bounced him out.

"It hurts so much..." Pei Ao fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Luo Qingyun quickly helped him up.

Only then did everyone discover that there was an invisible barrier around the spiritual tree.

Jiang Lingyue walked forward and carefully observed the barrier, trying to find a way to break it.

"This barrier seems to be an ancient formation." She said thoughtfully.

Lin Lige and Murong Bing also came over and started studying together, while Pei Ao complained gloomily on the side.

After some attempts, they finally found the flaw in the barrier.

Jiang Lingyue concentrated her energy and used her spiritual power to attack the weak point of the barrier. The barrier rippled and gradually disappeared.

"Success!" Lin Lige cheered.

Everyone was overjoyed and walked towards the spiritual tree to pick fruits.

Just as they were immersed in joy, a rustling sound came from deep in the cave.

Jiang Lingyue asked Murong Bing to go forward with her to investigate, while the other three hurried to pick the spiritual fruits.

The two followed the sound and found a second-level monster, the Red Mantis Snake, coiled in the corner of the cave. Fortunately, it was not very difficult to deal with.

The Earth-Destroying Red Mantis Snake sensed someone approaching, raised its head, and stared at them warily. Jiang Lingyue and Murong Bing slowly retreated, preparing to return to their companions.

However, the Earth-Destroying Red Mantis Snake suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black flames. The flames quickly spread and blocked their retreat.

"Oh no, run!" Jiang Lingyue shouted and pulled Murong Bing to the other side.

Murong Bing seized the opportunity and used water magic. A water dragon spurted out and the flames gradually went out.

Jiang Lingyue flew forward with a spear in hand, and stabbed the ground-destroying red mantis snake directly. The snake was unable to dodge, and blood spurted out immediately. It fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then became motionless.

It seems that with her current cultivation in the late stage of Qi Refining, it is not difficult for her to deal with the second-level monster. She walked forward and put the body of the Earth-Destroying Red Mantis Snake into the storage bag.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the ground in the corner, as if there was a hollow when she stepped on it. She immediately used wood magic and probed underground.

After some exploration, she found a tunnel sloping downwards in the ground ahead, about ten meters long. At the end of the tunnel was a hard stone slab.

She was shocked. Could there be an ancient tomb below?

Continuing to control the vines to go deeper into the ground, she confirmed her guess. Then, she immediately stood up and returned to the center of the cave with Murong Bing to tell everyone about her discovery.

The other three had already collected the spiritual fruits. After listening to her narration and discussing it, they unanimously decided to go into the ancient tomb and take a look.

So, the five people followed the tunnel into the outer wall of the ancient tomb.

Lin Lige, who was in the lead, used earth-based magic, and the rocks on the outer wall of the ancient tomb in front of the tomb robbery hole turned into mud and sand in an instant. With a slight push, they broke open and scattered into the tomb chamber.

Following the breach in the outer wall, everyone jumped in one after another. After entering the tomb, they felt a rotten smell inside.

Murong Bing took out a tinderbox and lit a torch, and found an oil lamp not far from the wall of the tomb passage. She walked in front, lighting the nearby oil lamps as she walked, illuminating their way.

Jiang Lingyue and Lin Lige followed closely with spears in hand, while Pei Ao and Luo Qingyun were the rear guards. Everyone explored forward cautiously.

They walked along the passage and came to a huge stone chamber. In the center of the chamber was a stone coffin surrounded by some exquisite funerary objects.

Jiang Lingyue approached the sarcophagus and gently pushed open the lid. Instantly, a strong airflow gushed out of the coffin, forcing them back several steps.

After the airflow dissipated, Jiang Lingyue took a closer look and saw a corpse wearing golden armor lying in the coffin. The corpse held a sword in his hand, emitting a sharp sword aura.

"This is... a top-grade magical weapon!" Murong Bing exclaimed.

Jiang Lingyue was delighted and was about to reach out to take the sword, but suddenly she felt a dangerous aura coming towards her.

She turned around suddenly and saw a huge puppet appeared behind them at some point.
