Feng Qianhuan's blood-red eyes glanced at Xiao Xun'er before she commanded her guards, "We've been out of the palace for too long and it's time to return . Let's be on our way now . "
"Yes, Princess . "
The guards joined their fists respectfully and replied reverently .
. . .
Nightfall .
Everything in Spiritual Beast Forest was peaceful and quiet under the bright moonlight .
Feng Qianhuan, who had been resting against a tree, slowly opened her blood-red eyes . She looked at the guards around her who were resting with their eyes closed but she could not see the silver-haired young man in silver robes . She knitted her brows .
"Has anyone seen Qianbei Xun?"
The young girl turned towards the guards next to her as she asked in a cold voice .
The guards opened their eyes when they hear her inquiry . They looked at each other before one of them stepped out and answered her, "Reporting to the Princess, we've not seen Sir Qianbei . "
That fellow had left no sign or made a sound when he had left . Despite their large number, not a single one of them had noticed his departure .
Feng Qianhuan thought for a moment . "That person has a poor sense of direction and also lacks a map of the Spiritual Beast Forest . He must have left to relieve himself and lost his way . Wait here, I will go and look for him . Since I've promised to escort him out of the Spiritual Beast Forest, I can't just abandon him . "
This was the only possibility that Feng Qianhuan could think of .
Feng Qianhuan did not delay and rose to her feet . She then walked slowly into that infinitely vast forest and her blood-red figure gradually disappeared beneath the night sky . . .
Feng Qianhuan looked for a long time but she could not find any sign of Qianbei Xun . She knitted her brows as a sense of helplessness flashed across her eyes . However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, something rustled next to her and caused her to stop .
Rustle!
Suddenly, something scuttled out from the bushes and attacked Feng Qianhuan . Her expression instantly changed when she got a good look at the thing which had scuttled out from the bushes .
"A Nine Echo Snake! It's one of the most powerful spiritual beasts in the Spiritual Beast Forest! I've run into a Nine Echo Snake and they travel in packs . If there's one Nine Echo Snake here, that means that there must be others around . "
Feng Qianhuan took a deep breath before she ran madly in the opposite direction .
The Nine Echo Snake saw that its prey had dared to escape and quickly chased after her relentlessly .
It was a good thing that Feng Qianhuan was not a weakling . If she had not been worried that she would be overwhelmed by a pack of Nine Echo Snakes, she would have faced that single snake on her own . Hence, she had decided to escape first .
Feng Qianhuan ran for a long time before the Nine Echo Snake finally gave up and left the chase . With much difficulty, she managed to lean against a tree to catch her breath, panting heavily .
At that moment, the sound of running water brushed across Feng Qianhuan's ears .
She was surprised for a moment before she parted the bushes in front of her with her hand . A magnificent scene then appeared before her eyes .
The moonlight glistened enticingly on the water .
The young man's silver hair glowed with a holy and bright light beneath the moonlight . His features were cold, unyielding, and handsome as his fair body lay next to the cold pond . He looked so beautiful that it was suffocating .
Feng Qianhuan has never seen such an exquisitely beautiful man before .
