Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"You're taking us deep into the snowfield?" Dongfang Jibai frowned, then looked at Ling Yi.

Seeing him looking at her, Ling Yi said indifferently, "Don't look at me."

Dongfang Jibai turned to Bei Qianning and said, "His Majesty Beiming told you about this matter, so you must know how dangerous it is. It's not appropriate for you to come with us."

"Second Prince, there's no need to worry." Facing Dongfang Jibai's disbelief, Bei Qianning remained calm and showed no displeasure. "Since Father has entrusted this matter to me, I will handle it well, and..."

Seeing Bei Qianning stop, Dongfang Jibai asked, "And what else?"

Bei Qianning looked at him and said, "Besides, there is no one more suitable than me for this matter."

Dongfang Jibai was a little surprised: "So confident?"

“You’ll know the reason once we get to the snowfield.” After saying this, Bei Qianning stopped talking to Dongfang Jibai and turned to Ling Yi: “It’s been three months since we parted at the Imperial Grand Competition. How have you been?”

Ling Yi brought Dongfang Jibai along because she didn't want to deal with anyone. She thought that with Dongfang Jibai around, Bei Qianning wouldn't notice her, but she was wrong.

"That's fine," Ling Yi replied calmly.

Most people would not take the initiative to talk to Ling Yi after seeing his attitude, but... Bei Qianning is not an ordinary person. She didn't care about Ling Yi's cold and distant attitude at all: "I heard about what happened in Chun Kingdom. You are very capable and handled it very well."

Ling Yi: "It's alright."

Bei Qianning glanced at Ling Yi, then looked at Lin Xinze beside her. The wind in the Northern Underworld Empire was biting cold, but Lin Xinze's face was rosy, as if he hadn't been affected by the wind and snow at all. He was happily playing a claw-grabbing game with the little golden tiger.

Looking at Lin Xinze, Bei Qianning couldn't help but think of someone, and a smile appeared on her face: "Who are you?"

Lin Xinze raised his small face to look at Bei Qianning and said with a smile, "I am Lin Xinze, and I came with my sister."

"Sister?" Bei Qianning looked at Ling Yi with some surprise.

There were only a few people in the carriage. The 'younger sister' Lin Xinze mentioned was none other than Ling Yi. But this child was so much younger than Ling Yi, shouldn't she call Ling Yi 'older sister'? Why is she calling her 'younger sister'?

“He’s stupid.” Ling Yi had to speak up under Bei Qianning’s gaze: “Don’t worry about him too much.”

"Is that so?" Bei Qianning smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside a mansion. Bei Qianning got out of the carriage and looked at Ling Yi and Dongfang Jibai who got out behind her, saying, "You must be tired from your journey. Please rest well at the mansion tonight and set off tomorrow."

"Okay." Dongfang Jibai nodded.

Bei Qianning led the two into the mansion and to a small courtyard: "This is a place to rest. If you need anything, you can tell the servants in the courtyard."

"Someone will bring the food, so I won't bother you any longer," Bei Qianning said, then turned and left the courtyard.

After Bei Qianning left, Dongfang Jibai and Ling Yi went to their respective rooms to rest, led by servants, to await their departure the next day.

...

"Qianqian." Bei Qianning had just returned to her courtyard when she saw the white wine coming towards her.

Upon seeing him, Bei Qianning glanced around, saw no one else, and pulled him into the house, saying, "You sneaked out again."

Baijiu smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Bei Qianning gestured for someone to sit down and poured a cup of hot tea: "Are you that excited to go deep into the snowfield?"

Baijiu nodded: "I wanted to go with you all to the snowfields in previous years, but you never took me. Of course I'm looking forward to it this time since you decided to take me."

Bei Qianning looked at him: "Jiujiu, the snowfield is dangerous, and your situation is special, which is why we decided not to take you, but this time..."

If she could, she wouldn't want to bring Jiu Jiu this time either, but her father said it was time for him to know some things. They couldn't keep it a secret forever. The depths of the snowfield were dangerous, and no one in the Northern Underworld Empire could bring Jiu Jiu here to find the truth of what happened back then. Now that someone was willing to go deep into the snowfield, they couldn't miss the opportunity.

"What happened this time?" Bai Jiu looked at Bei Qianning: "Qianqian, don't worry, I can protect myself."

Bei Qianning wasn't worried about that; she was worried that Jiu Jiu wouldn't be able to handle knowing the truth.

"Alright." Bei Qianning stood up and wiped the snowflakes off his body. "Since you're here, there's no need to go back. Rest here tonight and set off first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Baijiu replied with a smile, "What about Qingqing and the others..."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to them." Bei Qianning looked at him: "You weren't worried when you sneaked out, but now you're worried?"

"With Qianqian here, I have nothing to worry about."

"You..." Faced with the baijiu, Bei Qianning couldn't say anything harsh, so she could only give up and send the person to their room.

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Bei Qianning came to inform Ling Yi and Dongfang Jibai that it was time to set off.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jibai and Ling Yi came out of the courtyard and followed Bei Qianning outside the mansion. Once outside, Dongfang Jibai and Ling Yi saw a row of carriages: "What's this?"

Bei Qianning said, "They are all students from Qianshuang City Academy. They are going to the snowfield for training, so they came together."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jibai fell silent.

"Get in the carriage first, then take the flying beast after we leave the city." Bei Qianning looked at the two of them and said, "Don't worry, everything is arranged."

After Bei Qianning said that, Dongfang Jibai and Ling Yi said no more and got into the carriage.

After everyone boarded the carriage, the driver drove it towards the city gate.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the city gate. Bei Qianning got off the carriage first and went to the second carriage. She took the white wine from the second carriage and said to the people in the carriage before leaving, "Remember your mission this time. Do not leave without permission."

The young man lifted the carriage curtain, his gaze fixed intently on Bei Qianning: "Sister, are you really not taking us this time?"

Bei Qianning looked at him and said, "This is the Emperor's will. If you come along, you will be disobeying the imperial decree."

juvenile:"……"

"Alright, Bai Han, don't delay the princess's departure." Bai Qingqing poked her head out and looked at Bei Qianning with a smile, saying, "Princess, don't worry, we will definitely keep a close eye on him this time and not let him run around. We will never let him break his leg like last time."

"Okay." Bei Qianning nodded: "I'll take Jiu Jiu first, and you can set off after we leave."

Bai Qingqing agreed and then lowered the curtain.

Bei Qianning returned to the first carriage with the white wine, and looked at Dongfang Jibai and Ling Yi waiting outside the carriage: "We can set off now."

Dongfang Jibai looked around at Bei Qianning and saw no one except for Baijiu: "Where's the beast tamer?"

Without a beast tamer, could Bei Qianning's contracted beast be a flying beast?

I've never heard of that...

Just as Dongfang Jibai was wondering, Bei Qianning replied, "Using your flying beasts is faster, and you also want to get to the snowfield as soon as possible, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi looked at Dongfang Jibai, who then looked at Bei Qianning and asked, "Are you serious?"
