Lianyi was following behind Feng Lianqing in silence. However, her eyes were subconsciously looking at Nan Xian, who was walking in front of her, with an odd glint in her eyes.

Yet, no one noticed the peculiar look on her expression, so no one noticed that she had induced forbidden thoughts.

“Big Brother Feng.”

Lianyi was quiet for a moment before asking, “When can we leave the spirit beast mountain?”

This spirit beast mountain was too vast. It had taken them a few days to find the little prince, so if they wanted to leave, it would probably require even more effort.

Feng Lianqing"s eyes darkened slightly. Although he refused to admit it, he had no choice but to acknowledge that they were lost!

Yes, lost!

“I"ve made markings on the way here, but those marks have now disappeared, so I can"t find the way out.”

The size of the spirit beast mountain was like a few cities combined.

In the city, one would not lose their way. However, all of the roads in the spirit beast mountain looked the same, so if they were not familiar with the place, it would be very hard to leave.

True enough, Feng Lianqing had made markings when they first came. But now those markings have disappeared, he had no idea how to get back.

Once she knew that they would not leave the spirit beast mountain so soon, Lianyi felt delight surge within her. That was because she knew that once they left, she would have to part with Nan Xian. She could only take advantage of this time in the spirit beast mountain to get along with him. She had to use the span of these short few days to make him fall for her.

That way, she would have a chance.

“That"s okay, Big Brother Feng. You don"t have to be anxious. We can find our way slowly.”

Feng Lianqing looked at Lianyi suspiciously. She had previously been unwilling to come looking for the little prince, but now she was not in a hurry to leave.

However, his mind was occupied with trying to find a way out, so he did not think much of it and retracted his gaze.

“Don"t worry. I will lead you guys out soon.”

The little prince lifted his head up from the guard"s back, sounding arrogant as he said, “Feng Lianqing, I order you to find the way out within a year, or else…”

Before he could finish talking, he saw Feng Ruqing turn back suddenly to look at him. The boy was so frightened he immediately swallowed his words and said fearfully, “Or else, I"ll cry!”

Feng Lianqing was speechless.

The little prince crying? Now that was something to look forward to. He suddenly hoped to delay their exit. At least, until after the little prince had cried.

“What did you come here for?” Feng Ruqing looked calmly at the little prince without any expression on her face.

If someone else had asked him this question, the little prince would have ignored them. But it was Feng Ruqing who had asked instead.

He looked fearfully at her and answered honestly, “My Second Royal Brother said I was useless and trash. I wanted to catch a spirit beast back to prove that I"m not trash. I"ve even brought beast-repelling incense but for some reason it became ineffective, so I ran into that red tiger.”

Feng Lianqing felt ashamed. “Little Prince, you"ve entered the deepest part of the spirit beast mountain and the spirit beasts there are terribly strong. That"s why the beast-repelling incense doesn"t work on them.”

After hearing Feng Lianqing"s words, Feng Ruqing was quiet for a moment.

“The place where we saved this guy was the deepest part of the spirit beast mountain?”

“Yes.”

“Oh. Then, what about the place where we met?” Feng Ruqing continued to ask.

“That was still the outer region.”

“Okay. Then, if we keep going further in that way, will there be a way out of the spirit beast mountain?” Feng Ruqing"s tone was calm. There was no hint of any turbulence in her emotions.
