He Lan Tianxia

Murong Junlan couldn't care less about anything else. He didn't have time to think about the white-haired woman and all that nonsense. His priority was to rescue Lingyi and Cangying. By the time Murong Junlan and Jiang He moved Lingyi, Cangying, and Young Master Bai out of the cave, it was already dawn in the east.

Murong Junlan took out the snow lotus from his pocket and instructed Jiang He to catch a few turtles. He set up the largest turtle shell on the spot to boil water, using turtle meat as a catalyst and snow lotus as medicine. Murong Junlan threw the whole snow lotus into the large turtle shell. Now Lingyi and the others are in imminent danger, and it is unknown whether they can escape this predicament. They can find the Transformation Pill again later.

After the snow lotus medicinal liquid was distributed to everyone, Murong Junlan held Lingyi and Cangying and closed his eyes to rest. He was also tired after fighting all night. Jiang He took the initiative to stand guard outside, worried that the white-haired woman would return. Later, Jiang He also couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

A sea breeze blew, and Murong Junlan woke up. Looking at the sun, he realized several hours had passed. He felt he hadn't slept deeply, but he just couldn't open his eyes. Lingyi and the Azure Eagle were still in his hands, and seeing that their complexions were significantly better than before, Murong Junlan breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Young Master Bai and the shopkeeper; their expressions had also softened.

"Jiang He." Murong Junlan did not see Jiang He.

"Your Highness, you're awake." Jiang He jogged over from the other side.

"Where is that woman?" The woman with the Twin Snow Swords had disappeared, and he was worried that she would go looking for his Yan'er.

"I don't know. I was half asleep for a bit, and when I woke up I couldn't find her. I guess she ran away."

"Then we need to hurry back." Murong Junlan was anxious.

“Good. Your Highness, I’ve found a shortcut to the cliff. Also, the white-haired woman threw away the rope we lowered last time.”

"You go up first, find some vines to hang Murong Dubai and the shopkeeper up, then I'll take Lingyi and Cangying up."

Murong Junlan threw the thin rope to Jiang He, who made his way to the top of the cliff twice. He quickly found some vines and wove them into a thick rope. To prevent injury to his back while climbing, Jiang He specially made a chair-like structure on the side near the rock wall. With the help of the big trees on the cliff top, Jiang He struggled for two hours before finally getting everyone up the cliff.

Murong Junlan dared not linger, and had Jiang He carry Murong Dubai on his back. The innkeeper was not injured and could walk on his own. Murong Junlan hurriedly led Lingyi and Cangying back to Anqiao Temple.

The white-haired woman did indeed come, but strangely, she ran away after fighting for a while.

Murong Junlan instructed Hong Xiuying to intensify everyone's training, and then arranged for Lingyi, Cangying, and Murong Dubai to recuperate at the abbot's and old man's place. He instructed Luo Xie and Xiao Yezi to take care of them, and Jiang He to look after Princess Yan'er. He then went out to find the white-haired woman.

This woman is elusive, and this time she even ate a strange tortoise pearl, carved with dragons and phoenixes—who knows what kind of trouble she's up to? But after searching for several days, neither the white-haired woman nor the woman with the twin snow swords had any trace. Finally, they encountered the gorilla. This guy, who knows where he's been these past few days, just followed Murong Junlan closely, like a loyal follower, which made Murong Junlan feel very strange.

The person most excited about bringing back a gorilla was his beloved concubine, Yan'er. She remembered calling it "husband," though she couldn't quite figure out why. Strangely, this time the mischievous monkey was quite disobedient, fighting with her whenever they met or had a spare moment, as if it had developed a fighting disorder. Only the gorilla itself knew that the prince had said he would cripple its legs if it didn't teach the princess martial arts, and it often went berserk when Murong Junlan wasn't around.

Half a month passed peacefully, and Lingyi and Cangying's injuries had almost completely healed. One day after lunch, Cangying grabbed Yan'er's clothes and tried to pull her outside. Murong Junlan was worried and followed with Lingyi.

They went to a large camphor tree, where the eagle dropped them and flew straight to the top of the tree. Then they heard the sound of birds fighting.

Yan'er was happy because the eagle had called her to watch it fight with the birds.

"Boring." Murong Junlan pulled the princess away. Seeing Murong Junlan about to leave, the eagle swooped down and pecked at him again. After several times, this angered Murong Junlan, who thought, "I have nothing better to do than watch you two bicker." Just as Murong Junlan raised his hand to discipline the eagle's stubbornness, Ling Yi, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"Your Highness, the eagle is calling you to climb the tree."

Seeing Ling Yi remind Murong Junlan, the eagle couldn't help but scold Ling Yi for being a busybody. Knowing the eagle's petty temper, Ling Yi remained silent. Murong Junlan, thinking Ling Yi had been bullied, grabbed the eagle and tossed it aside. The eagle, angered, ignored this fool Murong and flew away with a flap of its wings.

Murong Junlan was not one to be trifled with. He thought to himself, "You summoned my beloved concubine to watch you fight with a bird? What kind of bird is that? My beloved concubine is not someone you can just mess around with. You are not qualified."

Murong Junlan pulled out a thin rope to scare the eagle away. Just as he was fuming with nowhere to vent his anger, his Yan'er spoke up.

"Your Highness, I want to go up and steal bird eggs."

Heh, I just chased away the eagle, saying it was boring, and you, on the other hand, want me to go up and steal its eggs? Isn't that just slapping me in the face and making me even more bored? But he couldn't go against Yan'er's wishes, so he asked Lingyi to accompany the princess to steal the eggs. Lingyi didn't have the guts, so he made an excuse that his body was badly injured and hadn't recovered, and then slipped away to sit at the foot of a tree. This jealous prince wasn't being bored like this for the first time.

Seeing that no one was willing to climb the tree with her to steal bird eggs, Yan'er wasn't angry. Instead, she enthusiastically used her light-footed skills to climb the tree and play by herself. Wow, her light-footed skills seemed much better than before. She suddenly felt a little grateful to that strange woman who had specifically targeted her.

They were almost at the bird's nest when suddenly a large bird flew out and swooped menacingly towards Yan'er. Startled, Yan'er slipped and fell. Murong Junlan reached out to save her, but unexpectedly, the instant her feet left the tree trunk, Yan'er spun rapidly in mid-air, hooking one foot onto the branch and dangling there. Then, with a push of her other foot, she managed to land back on the branch.

"Good!" Murong Junlan couldn't help but shout his approval. He smiled; his princess had finally made progress. Then he would watch his princess cause trouble today. With that, Murong Junlan jumped down from the tree trunk and waited patiently beneath it.

"Your Highness, come up quickly! There are so many bird eggs!" Yan'er exclaimed excitedly from the tree.

"I don't have a bag, Your Highness, please take off your clothes and throw them to me."

Taking off your clothes in public? What kind of behavior is that? Murong Junlan was displeased. "Just a few bird eggs, you can put them in your pocket."

Murong Junlan didn't know why Yan'er was being so dawdling today. Just then, the big bird squatted in its nest again, trying to steal the eggs? I'll fight you to the death!

At this moment, the eagle flew back. Seeing that its master had not been able to get the things from the nest for a long time, it wished it could fly over and grab Murong Junlan. It thought to itself, "Why don't you climb the tree? What are you doing standing under the tree?"

Lingyi had already quietly moved to another place; he didn't have time to watch the couple showing affection.

Murong Junlan was angered by the eagle and chased after it to fight. The eagle wasn't stupid either; it would run away even if you hit it. Once the chase started, no one paid any attention to Yan'er.

At that moment, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows glared fiercely at Yan'er. With a gust of strange wind, Yan'er vanished into thin air.

When the furious Murong Junlan chased after the eagle and circled back, Yan'er had already vanished. Murong Junlan panicked and shouted loudly, but there was no sign of Yan'er. He quickly circled around, but couldn't find a trace of her. Had the white-haired woman returned? Murong Junlan broke out in a cold sweat; he regretted his actions.

At this moment, the eagle regretted its actions. It carried Lingyi to the nest so that Lingyi could scare the big bird away. Then, it picked up the bag of pills from the nest, threw it to Murong Junlan, and flew away.

This is the elixir it has refined recently. Last time it brought it to Dark Woodcutter Temple, it happened to see the white-haired woman capture Lingyi and Young Master Bai. Unable to find a place to store it, it looked up and saw a bird's nest, so it casually put it in. Little did it know that this bird wasn't stupid enough to keep it and didn't want to return it. Today, it called its master here partly to give him a surprise, and partly to curry favor with him, but unexpectedly, it made its master disappear. What to do? Quickly help find it! Are we going to wait for Prince Murong to tear it apart? So, it must disappear before the prince's wrath arrives.

Lingyi didn't smell the scent of the woman with the Twin Snow Swords because he had fainted in the cliff cave, so there was nothing he could do.

The princess had disappeared right under his nose, and Murong Junlan was furious. He was ordered to capture the person who had taken Yan'er and tear her to pieces.
