1056 An Exception
Qiao Mu only felt her hair standing on end.
Peeping at their dreams? Could it be that everything that appeared in her dream… was seen by someone else??
Subsequently, rage ignited in her heart!
Truly a hateful fellow! When she thought about how she was presented like a blank sheet of paper under the scrutiny of a stranger, Qiao Mu felt incomparably nauseated, like she had swallowed a fly.
"Your Eminence." A young girl wearing a white veil gracefully walked to the bank of the creek and bowed in greeting. "They have set out."
Yet the Saint of the Demonic Cult, Sikong Fuling, seemed to not have heard the girl's words. She just kept sitting at the bank of the creek, kicking up a wave of ripples with her snow-white legs in amusement.
"Does Your Eminence want this subordinate to send people after them?"
"Sigh…" Sikong Fuling reclined lazily against a boulder by the creek, supporting her chin with one hand as she murmured, "When I wake up from my nap later, I will naturally go find them."
"Understood, then this subordinate will take her leave first."
While swinging her pair of small feet, Sikong Fuling kicked up a spray of water again. Her long legs slowly criss-crossed, and she reached to take an emerald-green jade flute from behind the boulder, stroking it as she muttered to herself with a giggle, "Unexpectedly, I couldn't see your dream. Hm… Qiao Mu, oh Qiao Mu, say, how should I torment you?"
Ordinarily, the Phoenix Nether Demonic Flute could enable its user to look inside the dreams of whomever it haunted.
However, that savage little lady seemed to be an exception.
The scene inside her nightmare was blurred and hazy, and she was unable to see things clearly at all.
Quite interesting…
---My Qiao's section break---
"We're already entering the forest quite late, so everyone should share information to avoid getting held up when we search for the secret realm!" Wei Nanshu spoke up first.
For this trip, Qiao Mu's party made up seven people, while Wei Nanshu, Baili Wu, Xiao Mi, and the others made up fourteen all together. Therefore, if there weren't any accidents, they would enter the secret realm as a combined total of twenty-one people.
Yet at this time, there were also many royal guards accompanying the princes and princesses from the various kingdoms to protect them.
Therefore, it would be a large, jumbled hundred-person party entering the forest.
If someone wasn't set on courting disaster by provoking the mystic beast horde inside the forest, safety basically wasn't much of an issue.
Mystic beasts all possessed a bit of intelligence, afterall, so the sensible ones would naturally not come provoke them upon seeing such a large group passing by.
"Although the entrance to the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm changes every ten years, the general area doesn't change," Baili Wu said.
"Correct, it should be around the center of the Mystic Beast Forest, so we have to head straight on in. Five days should be enough time." Xiao Mi also concurred with a nod.
"There are many ferocious beasts inside the Mystic Beast Forest, so for everyone's safety, I suggest that we choose a captain among us. During these five days, we'll all listen to the captain until we safely enter the secret realm. What do you all think?" Wei Nanshu continued.
"Your Highness makes an excellent point." The Jin Clan Fort's Jin Hongluan laughed forthrightly. "This is also in consideration for everyone's safety."
"Apologies, but I am not quite used to putting my life in the hands of a stranger." Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu walked off after making this statement.
Little Sixth Zheng and Qin Susu promptly kept pace with her, while Dou Fengchi and the others also followed along after hesitating for a split second.
Compared to staying with these people with ulterior motives from other countries, they felt that it would be a bit safer to follow this young, cold-faced crown prince consort instead.
