Late at night, in Green Pine Inn, a figure suddenly appeared in Duanmu Xi’s room.

The figure walked to Duanmu Xi’s bed. In the faint moonlight, he stared at the girl’s tranquil sleeping face.

She had arched eyebrows, curly eyelashes, a cute nose and rosy lips. Her delicate facial features made her look as exquisite as a doll. She was really beautiful. He hadn’t seen her for a while and she just seemed to become prettier. In particular, she looked less indifferent and gentler.

Then, as he looked at her belly, his gentle eyes instantly turned cold. He stared at her belly bump and suddenly exerted his mysterious Qi.

Duanmu Xi, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have sensed danger and opened her eyes abruptly.

Seeing that Duanmu Xi woke up, the figure put down his hand at once.

Seeing the figure by the bedside, Duanmu Xi subconsciously frowned and sat up slowly. She glared at the mask on the figure’s face coldly. This man was the third person who could appear in her room without being noticed except Jun Wuxie and Snow.

“You’re awake!”

“Who are you?” The two of them spoke at the same time.

Duanmu Xi frowned. What a hollow voice! Who on earth was he?

The figure smiled sinisterly and said coldly, “You didn’t keep your promise. I asked you to come alone but you came with a group of people.” His voice was still hollow and lingering.

Duanmu Xi instantly became angry with her dark purple eyes glistening coldly, “Are you the person who made me come to the Wilderness Holy Region?”

The figure slightly curled his lips, “Exactly. I’m the one who invited you to the Wilderness Holy Region for a visit.”

A visit? Duanmu Xi sneered, “Region Master, your way of hospitality is really special!” Her cold voice was full of mockery.

The figure was slightly taken aback to hear that and laughed, “Huh… You’re so smart. How did you guess my identity?”

As he admitted his identity, Duanmu Xi hesitated but didn’t answer the question. Instead, she got off the bed and poured a glass of water for herself.

Seeing that Duanmu Xi, who was only wearing a layer of undergarment, got off the bed, the figure became more intrigued and smiled. What a special girl! He loved her!

After drinking a glass of water, Duanmu Xi turned around and looked at the figure unhurriedly and said with a dismissive look, “Very few people are as furtive as you in the world.”

The figure’s face stiffened and then recovered quickly. He said to Duanmu Xi with a smile, “You’re so tart-tongued. I like you.”

Hearing the figure’s confession, Duanmu Xi narrowed her dark purple eyes, “Where is my master?” She didn’t want to talk nonsense with him, so she just got to the point directly.

“You and your master are really close!” The figure reached out his fingers, trying to lift Duanmu Xi’s chin.

Seeing the figure’s fingers, Duanmu Xi put on a fierce look and directly took a step back to avoid him.

The figure looked at Duanmu Xi’s fierce face. His fingers stiffened a bit. Then, he slowly withdrew his hand and said coldly, “Since you wanna see your master, come with me then.”

Duanmu Xi frowned and thought for a while, “Please hold on. I need to get changed.”

The dark figure slightly curled his lips and said with a gesture, “Please suit yourself!”

Duanmu Xi paid no heed to the figure, picked up the clothes from the screen, reached behind the screen and put on the clothes.

The figure stood in front of the screen and stared at Duanmu Xi’s slim reflection, his eyes gradually darkening.

After getting dressed, Duanmu Xi directly took out her dagger and wrote down the words—Region Master on the wall behind the screen before stepping out from behind the screen.

“Let’s go!” The figure didn’t come to his senses until Duanmu Xi got out. Then, he disappeared from the room with Duanmu Xi.

The next day, Phoenix Five hold a water basin and entered Duanmu Xi’s room.

With a bang, Phoenix Five threw the water basin in fear faced with the empty room, “Your Highness…”

Upon hearing the sound, Situ Kong, Long Ri, Phoenix Thirteen and Phoenix Fourteen living next door all ran inside, “What’s wrong?”

Phoenix Five stared at them in a fluster and said anxiously, “Her Highness… Her Highness is gone!”

Situ Kong knitted his brows abruptly and grabbed Phoenix Five, “What did you say? How come she suddenly disappeared?”

“I don’t know. Just now, I came inside to help Her Highness freshen up. Then, I found Her Highness was gone!” Phoenix Five scratched her hair grumpily, her eyes full of self-accusation.

Long Ri and Phoenix Fourteen were worried too. Phoenix Thirteen was relatively calmer. She “looked” at Phoenix Five and asked, “Who watched the night for Her Highness last night?”

“Long Yue and Yu Ying.” Phoenix Five instantly came to her senses, “Oh right, where are Long Yue and Yu Ying?”

Phoenix Thirteen heard that and then turned to Long Ri.

Long Ri took the hint and said with a nod, “I’ll look for them.”

Very shortly, Long Ri found Long Yue and Yu Ying who were sleeping on the roof and in the tree, unconscious.

Staring at the two unconscious people, Phoenix Five grabbed the cup from the desk furiously and splashed the water on their faces.

“How can you still be sleeping? Her Highness is gone. How can you still be sleeping?” Phoenix Five shouted at Long Yue and Yu Ying while kicking them angrily.

The two people who were still in a daze heard the shocking news upon waking up. They were utterly awake in shock.

“What did you say? Her Highness is gone?” Yu Ying directly got up from the ground and grabbed Phoenix Five, saying anxiously.

Phoenix Five shook away Yu Ying’s hand and snapped, “How dare you ask me? How did you watch the night? You didn’t even know Her Highness was gone.”

“I… I don’t know how I fell asleep.” Faced with Phoenix Five’s angry yelling, Yu Ying scratched his hair with self-accusation. Oh no, Her Highness was gone. If anything untoward happened to Her Highness, His Highness wouldn’t let him go. What kind of miserable life he would have was imaginable.

Hearing their conversation, Long Yue completely came around. Faced with everyone, he said, “Just like Yu Ying, I fell asleep for no reason. Considering what happened to me and Yu Ying, someone must have done something to send us into a slumber. The person who can make it must have an unfathomable cultivation level. I suppose he must have entered Her Highness’s room and taken away Her Highness.”

Currently, Situ Kong calmed down. After hearing Long Yue’s analysis, he said with a nod, “Xi must have left with that person voluntarily. Otherwise, given her ability, it wouldn’t be that easy for that person to take her away!” Putting aside Xi’s cultivation, only Xi’s six mythical creatures were not easy to deal with. No matter how competent that person was, if he got into a fight with Xi, Xi’s guards must hear something.

Long Yue and the others nodded in agreement. They knew about Her Highness’s cultivation. If Her Highness didn’t wanna leave with that person, they would get into a fight for sure. The room wouldn’t be undamaged.

Seeing that the people nodded, Situ Kong continued, “Only one person can let Xi leave with him voluntarily in the Wilderness Holy Region!” Situ Kong didn’t expect that the person would be so rash to take away Xi last night. Another unexpected thing was that the person’s cultivation turned out to be so unfathomable. This was not a good sign!

Long Yue’s eyes sparkled, “The person who kidnapped Elder Mei!” Only Elder Mei could make Her Highness follow that person away willingly.

Phoenix Five said with a frown, “Who on earth kidnapped Elder Mei and took away Her Highness?” They were not familiar with the Wilderness Holy Region. Without guidance, where could they find Her Highness?

Situ Kong frowned and said, “Let’s look around and see if Xi left any clues.” If time permitted, Xi should be smart enough to have left some clues.

The others immediately split up and started to look for clues. Only Phoenix Thirteen who was blind still stayed in situ.

“I found some words here!” Shortly, Phoenix Fourteen found the words Duanmu Xi had left behind the screen.

The others all ran over here and even Phoenix Thirteen who couldn’t see things also groped her way here.

“Be careful.” While Phoenix Thirteen was about to hit the screen, Long Ri grabbed Phoenix Thirteen’s hand and brought her to himself.

Phoenix Thirteen “looked” at Long Ri, her ears slightly getting red, “Thank you.”

Phoenix Five scrutinized the words on the wall, “The words should have been carved by Her Highness.” She knew the best about Her Highness’s handwriting.

Phoenix Fourteen asked with a frown, “Is Region Master the one who took Her Highness away?”

Yu Ying nodded and said, “I guess so. The Region Master must be the leader of the Wilderness Holy Region.”

While he was in the Baihu Empire, he heard that the Region Master of the Wilderness Holy Region was equal to the emperor in the Wilderness Holy Region. However, it was said that the sacred maiden in the Wilderness Holy Region seemed to hold a higher position. Yet, he didn’t believe the sacred maiden could be superior. If the sacred maiden’s position was really that high, how could the people in the Wilderness Holy Region let their sacred maiden be the side consort of Prince Zhan?

“Will Her Highness be in danger?” Phoenix Five’s eyes were filled with deep worry.

“Given Xi’s ability, it shouldn’t be that easy for the Region Master to hurt her. I’m afraid that he may use Mei Luo to threaten Xi. If so, considering Xi’s sentimental character, she will compromise for sure.” Besides, that person made Xi come to the Wilderness Holy Region using Mei Luo as leverage. He must be up to something. Upon hearing that, Phoenix Five got anxious and stared at Situ Kong, “Let’s go to rescue Her Highness now!” She couldn’t let anything happen to Her Highness and Her Highness’s babies.

“No rush.” Situ Kong looked at Phoenix Five’s worried face and stroked his beard, “Here is the thing. Long Yue and Phoenix Five, you two go and investigate the Region Master. Find out who on earth he is and where he lives now.”

“Yes.” Long Yue and Phoenix Five nodded.

Situ Kong seemed to think of something and then said, “Before you go, put on the local clothes. Keep it a low profile.” Admittedly, Xi was really smart. She should have taken this into account.

“Okay.” Long Yue and Phoenix Five nodded again. Then, they went back to their rooms and got changed.

Situ Kong turned to Yu Ying and Phoenix Fourteen, “You go and inquire about the situation of the Wilderness Holy Region.” As a saying went, know your enemy, know yourself, and your victory will not be threatened. This applied anywhere.

“By the way, remember to get changed before going.”

“OK.” Yu Ying and Fourteen also returned to their rooms.

Only Situ Kong, Long Ri and Thirteen were left in Duanmu Xi’s room. Long Ri looked at Situ Kong and said with a frown, “What about us?”

Situ Kong glimpsed Phoenix Thirteen next to Long Ri, “Take care of Thirteen and cook the medicine I dispensed for Thirteen last night. When you’re done, come to my room and tell me. I’ll apply the medicine for Thirteen. If her eyes can cure soon, she can be of help.” The more people, the more help. Now, they needed human resources!

“OK,” Long Ri nodded and spoke. He escorted Thirteen out of the room carefully.

Seeing that everyone had left, Situ Kong stroked his beard and muttered to himself, “I should go back to my room and refine some pills just in case.” A trip to the Wilderness Jungle had almost exhausted all the pills he had prepared.
