The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

The palace is towering into the clouds, built of huge white jade stones, which are engraved with mysterious runes and emit a sacred light.

The palace is protected by a powerful magic barrier. The barrier is like a transparent light curtain, flashing with colorful light, and any uninvited guests who approach will be blocked by it.

Ying Yi passed through the numerous palace gates and arrived at Ling Xiuhan's palace. The palace was lavishly decorated, with the floor paved with precious magic crystals and ancient magical scrolls hanging on the walls, showcasing the glorious history of the Holy Palace.

Ling Xiu Han sat lazily on the throne. He was wearing a black robe inlaid with gold. The robe was embroidered with mysterious patterns, which looked like an ancient magic circle or the totem of some mysterious creature.

His hair was as black as ink and casually draped over his shoulders. His eyes were as deep as the night, and there was a faint wicked smile on the corner of his mouth. He exuded a domineering and evil temperament.

"Greetings to the Holy Son." Ying Yi knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Ling Xiuhan raised his eyes slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, "Get up, how are things going?"

Yingyi stood up and reported in detail: "We successfully killed most of the demons, but we encountered an unexpected person in the forest - Lan Yunyan."

When Ling Xiuhan heard the name, his originally lazy eyes instantly became sharp, like a cheetah staking its prey. "Oh? How is she?"

"She looks good and is stronger than before. When she encountered the demons, her ice magic showed great power, and those demons had almost no ability to fight back in front of her. However, she didn't seem to recognize me." Yingyi replied.

The evil smile on Ling Xiu Han's lips widened slightly. He stood up and slowly walked down from the throne, his black robe trailing behind him, like a king in the night.

"She's still so interesting. It seems that the things in this forest are not that simple, and she is involved."

"Holy Son, do we need to investigate further? Lan Yunyan and her companions seem to be guarding the forest, and the demons are also active frequently. I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy." Yingyi suggested.

Ling Xiuhan walked to the window and looked into the distance, a cold glint in his eyes. "Of course we have to investigate. Send someone to closely monitor the movements in the forest, especially the actions of Lan Yunyan and the others."

If there are any new movements by the demons, report them immediately. Also, get ready, I want to go to that forest myself to take a look."

"Yes, Holy Son." Ying Yi took the order and retreated.

Ling Xiu Han stood alone in front of the window, Lan Yunyan's face appeared in his mind, and his thoughts were like a runaway horse, instantly returning to the time he spent with her in the past.

It was a dreamlike and brilliant period of time, and every moment was like a treasure illuminated by the sun, shining brightly.

He remembered that they had strolled in a quiet sea of ​​flowers on a moonlit night.

Lan Yunyan was wearing a white dress, like a fairy from heaven, and her eyes were brighter than the brightest stars in the night sky.

At that time, the breeze was blowing gently and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere. He couldn't help but hold her hand. Her hand was soft and warm, as if there was a kind of magic that made him reluctant to let go.

He whispered sweet words in her ear and made an eternal promise: "Yunyan, you are the brightest star in my life. I am willing to overcome all obstacles for you and go through all the ups and downs with you. In this life, we will never leave each other."

Lan Yunyan's slightly flushed cheeks looked particularly charming in the moonlight, and the love in her eyes flowed into his heart like a gurgling stream.

However, the wheel of fate turned relentlessly, dragging them into different vortexes.

But those beautiful memories, like tough silk threads, always closely connect his heart with Lan Yunyan.

Now, fate has pushed her in front of him again, how can he let her go easily?

In the forest, Lan Yunyan and his friends returned to their camp.

She sat by the campfire, lost in thought. Ying Yi, who claimed to be from the Holy Palace, always gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Yunyan, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about those demons?" Yun Mengyao sat down beside her and asked softly.

Lan Yunyan shook her head. "No, it's just that the people I met today seemed a little strange."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, our goal is to destroy the demons." Xiao Yichen walked over and patted Lan Yunyan on the shoulder.

Lan Yunyan didn't say anything. Her intuition told her that things were not that simple.

In the light of the bonfire, Lan Yunyan's eyes flashed with determination, "Let's go back to the Purple Moon Empire. I'm a little worried about Grandpa. Besides, things here have come to an end for the time being, and we also need to go back and rest."

Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "Alright, everyone has worked hard during this period, it's time to go back and take a look."

Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also expressed their agreement, so they packed their bags and set out on the journey back to the Purple Moon Empire when the first rays of sunlight shone in the early morning.

Along the way, Lan Yunyan always had a strange feeling in her heart, which was a mixture of curiosity and doubt about Yingyi.

After Ling Xiuhan prepared everything, he rushed towards the forest impatiently. His figure streaked across the sky like black lightning, his black robe rustling in the wind, as if carrying an impatient urgency.

When he reached the spot in the forest where they had met, he felt only silence, the only sound being the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

He frowned slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his deep eyes. "Gone?" His voice was low, with a hint of unwillingness.

He quickly shuttled through the forest, not missing any corner that might contain clues, but in the end he found nothing.

Ling Xiu Han stood in the middle of the forest, his black robe dragging on the ground, like a king in the night, emitting a majestic and cold aura.

"No matter where you are, I will find you." With a heart full of loss and domineering, he turned and left the forest and returned to Qingyun Continent.

On the way back to the Purple Moon Empire, Lan Yunyan and others passed through several small towns.
