The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

"you……"

The man in the black robe looked at Jiang Xian Yue, but his throat was dry and he couldn't speak.

“I, Jiang Xianyue, always keep my word, and I hope you will too.”

You will face another hurdle in the capital. Whether you listen to my decision or not will determine your survival.

If you betray me, the consequences will be utter annihilation. As for my mother, I will ask you about her when we return to the capital.”

Jiang Xianyue knew that the cause and effect could not be explained in a short time.

"First, you only need to answer two questions for me."

The man in the black robe nodded calmly.

"If you keep your word, I am willing to be your slave and help you take care of your mother's affairs."

Jiang Xianyue spoke calmly.

"Was my mother really murdered?"

The man in the black robe nodded.

"Is this matter related to the Duan Dynasty court?"

The man in black nodded again, his gaze even becoming deep and unfathomable.

Jiang Xianyue stopped there.

This matter needs to be carefully examined.

She took a step back, and a yellow talisman flew out from her sleeve, striking the black-robed man.

The man in the black robe let out a miserable scream, and all the black energy around him dissipated.

Jiang Xianyue chanted incantations and performed a spell, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, and her face growing paler and paler.

With her current abilities, it might be a bit of a stretch for her to do something this big, but it's necessary to do it now so that things will go smoothly after she returns to the capital.

The black robe was enveloped in golden flames.

For a fleeting moment, the pain of the black energy being pulled away made the man in black robes feel that Jiang Xian Yue was dealing with him.

She's catching a ghost, destroying an evil spirit.

Finally, as the black-robed figure weakened, the black energy was drawn away.

“From now on I will call you Chang’an. The resentment in your body has been washed away. Now your soul is very weak. Go into the gourd to rest quietly. No one can hurt you there.”

Jiang Xianyue's face was even paler than Chang'an's.

Chang'an was preoccupied with its own problems and harbored a deep sense of unease.

“You come from a prestigious family and are quite capable. With your mother’s expertise, you may even surpass her.”

"The enormous effort you expended to help me—isn't that dangerous when your spiritual energy is unstable?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs. You just need to do what you promised."

Jiang Xianyue had probably gotten used to it; having someone to rely on made life incredibly comfortable.

After all, Jiang Xianyue has Shen Shijing behind her.

Thinking about all this, Jiang Xianyue took Chang'an and left the dungeon.

As the sun set, even though Wanggushan was a good place with abundant spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation, she still felt uncomfortably cold all over.

The spiritual energy was consumed too much, too thoroughly.

The old man had also reminded him that although Shen Shijing could help Jiang Xianyue.

However, it is still very difficult to replenish what has been over-consumed.

Jiang Xianyue was almost instinctively drawn in by the delicious aroma, and she stumbled as she walked.

Shen Shijing was in the courtyard instructing Liang Feng on what to do next. Having unexpectedly arrived at Wanggushan, this paradise, Liang Feng was somewhat reluctant to leave. After earnestly answering Shen Shijing's instructions, he had just stepped out when he saw Jiang Xianyue stumbling towards him.

This Jiang girl is very strange.

Sometimes he has a strong voice, and sometimes his face is as pale as a ghost.

If Liang Feng hadn't witnessed her true abilities, he would have thought Jiang Xianyue was also an evil spirit.

Especially this time, Liang Feng even felt that Jiang Xianyue's whiteness was almost transparent.

"Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you...?"

Shen Shijing also saw this and stepped forward to support Jiang Xianyue's arm.

"Isn't this your sect? What are you doing here...?"

Shen Shijing was used to big scenes, but he didn't expect Jiang Xianyue to be like this even on Wanggu Mountain.

She was much weaker than before, and Shen Shijing felt her body was ice cold when he touched her.

Then, her cool lips landed on Shen Shijing's lips.

Those who moved quickly didn't even carry Liang Feng on their backs.

Liang Feng's face showed astonishment, tension, and fear. Without saying goodbye or showing any manners, he took off running.

Shen Shijing supported Jiang Xianyue's waist, afraid that she would fall.

Although men and women are not supposed to be too close, his relationship with Jiang Xianyue was special, and Shen Shijing gradually got used to it.

Shen Shijing even said he was enjoying it very much.

Although this was the only way he could help Jiang Xianyue, could he say he had no ulterior motives?

Shen Shijing doesn't admit it, but in his past life, he did indeed like Jiang Xianyue. He never touched Jiang Xianyue, yet he was so obsessed that he was willing to die for her.

In this life, Shen Shijing only wants to take back everything that belongs to him and doesn't want this relationship anymore.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xianyue's repeated disruptions have made Shen Shijing less resolute.

Now...he still...really wants...

Shen Shijing's arms around Jiang Xianyue's waist slowly tightened.

While feeling worried, I seemed to unconsciously imagine them as a couple in the future.

Becoming her husband must be a wonderful thing.

At least as someone who once liked Jiang Xian Yue, I had expectations and beautiful aspirations in my past life.

Everything is coming true, even if it's just a dream, Shen Shijing feels that he is happy to accept it.

On Jiang Xian Yue's side, the coldness was gradually dispelled by the warmth.

Shen Shijing is a warm person, the kind of warmth that Jiang Xianyue likes.

She didn't even feel when someone hugged and kissed her; she only felt a continuous flow of spiritual energy flowing into her body.

"Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince has some matters to attend to."

Liang Feng's voice rang out at the doorway, bringing the two back to their senses.

Shen Shijing was the first to wake up, but he didn't push Jiang Xianyue away immediately.

He knew perfectly well that Jiang Xian Yue might no longer need him at this point.

After all, she was so frightening when she arrived.

Upon hearing the name of the princess's son, Jiang Xianyue suddenly pushed Shen Shijing away. Their eyes met, and Jiang Xianyue's cheeks flushed slightly; she felt a little embarrassed.

"I was being presumptuous with you."

Jiang Xianyue was embarrassed.

"My mind was foggy just now, I only remember that I was exhausted, and then I saw you..."

Seeing Shen Shijing is like seeing an endless stream of spiritual energy, so sweet and delightful.

But Jiang Xianyue knew she couldn't describe Shen Shijing like that.

Although the spiritual energy is in Shen Shijing, isn't this very impolite?

Shen Shijing remained calm.

"Miss Jiang did me a great favor by not taking back the spiritual energy; she saved my life. I don't care about such a small matter."

He had his hands behind his back, nervous, trying to make amends, but pretending to be nonchalant.

So this is what the Second Prince's Consort was like in her past life—so naive and inexperienced.

Shen Shijing regretted not having fought harder in his previous life.

Even though her past with Shen Qinglan is over, he still can't help but feel jealous of such a wonderful girl.

Jealousy to the point of being unrecognizable.

Jealousy drove him to the point of wanting to torture Shen Qinglan to death, just like the ending of his past life.

The two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Fortunately, Shen Qingge came in at that moment, interrupting the two of them's wild thoughts.

Shen Qingge was surprised to see Jiang Xianyue: "So it's Sister Xianyue here. I should have known better than to bother you."
