"Something's wrong! Just now, Senior Brother Jun saw that Madam Mu's complexion was abnormal, so he felt her pulse and found that something was wrong with it! What is her identity! If there's somethin...Separation.

In the minds of young people, there is only the vastness of the outside world, only the bustling crowds and prosperity.

Few people consider these two words.

Before this, I hadn't considered the possibility of separation.

I thought it would just be running back and forth between home and the Witch King's City, skipping class every other day, missing each other occasionally during the day and still clinging to each other at night.

This kind of simple life doesn't belong to us.

I slept until the dusk of the next day, and it was strange that no one came to call me.

There was a charcoal brazier in the room, and a sliver of the window was open for ventilation. A slight chill wind blew in, tempering the temperature.

A room like this on a high cliff corridor is actually quite atmospheric.

Outside is a corridor offering a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers, with a wide and placid river flowing beneath your feet.

The occasional crackling of the burning charcoal fire inside mingled with the swaying, shadowy dance of snowflakes outside.

When my mind was foggy, the crackling of the burning charcoal brought me back to the present.

Such a place easily makes people utter a pretentious sigh of "peace and tranquility."

Quiet down, there's a whole bunch of hungry mouths to feed.

"I told you all not to bother the little princess while she's resting, she's been so tired these days!" A familiar young voice rang out at the door.

"But I have something to report…" a woman hesitated and said.

"There's no need to bother the young princess while she's resting. Taking care of so many people, feeding and watering them, is not easy. It's rumored that she only finished bringing in all this food last night! You can't be so selfish. If you have something to say, come find the young princess directly instead of disturbing her rest! What benefits have you given her Before, you didn't even show her respect, but now you swarm around her all day. Does she owe you anything!"

Hey there, who has such a sharp tongue

This voice is also very familiar. If I hear it a few more times, I'll probably know who it is.

"Cough..." I just wanted to speak, but I found that my voice was a little hoarse last night. It's really embarrassing.

"Liang Xiaoger, is that you" I cleared my throat and called out to the door.

Mu Wanchen was still considerate, he had already put on my clothes. I sat on the bed wrapped in the quilt and watched Wen Jialiang push open the door to look in.

Wen Ji, his surname is also very ancient.

However, Xiao Ge is a trendy person among the witch clan. He often goes out and has seen more of the world than others.

"Little Princess, this Si Clan woman said she has something to report. Should I let her in" Liang Xiaoger asked at the door.

"Come in, I'm awake." I thought to myself, what could possibly be so important that they need to report to me

Si Huang is the leader of the Si clan. Even though she is seriously injured now, there is still Mu Wanchen, the president, here.

What do you want from me

The young woman quickly strode into the room, her face flushed. She hastily bowed to me and whispered, "My lady, I am a maidservant who attends to Chieftain Si Huang. I..."

"Si Huang's injuries are serious" I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, jumping out of bed to put on my coat.

If things really get serious, I'm going to have to take her to the hospital. Saving her life comes first.

"No, no....it is..." Her expression was panicked, but she didn't dare to finish her sentence.

I glanced at Brother Liang, he curled his lips and snorted, then went outside and shut the door.

"You see, there aren't many people living up here in the fortress. All the refugees are down below." I reminded her.

She took a small step forward and whispered, "My Lady, I don't know if I should speak out, but... Chieftain Si Huang, she, she is gone..."

"Huh!" I was taken aback.

“If the chieftain disappeared now, it would cause panic among the members of the Si tribe. But… I’m afraid everyone would guess she had abandoned the tribe, which would damage her authority… And I’m worried that she feels her natal Gu is damaged and she's not qualified to be chieftain anymore, so she left alone…”

"It's impossible, how could someone as proud as Si Huang be defeated by a little hardship and illness To abandon her clan It's impossible, absolutely impossible." I shook my head repeatedly.

"I quietly searched the surroundings, some places were blocked by soldiers, saying they were searching the mountains for gu corpses and the Dragon King, not letting anyone in... I've searched all the places I could! There's no sign of her." The maid looked at me with worry.

"Have you reported to the Great Shaman" I asked.

She shook her head. "I can't say... so I found the little princess you... see if you want to tell the Great Shaman"

"Come on, you can hide this from the common folk, but how can you hide it from the Shaman King He'll know for sure. Go tell him first, then let Lian Long the physician know. To everyone else, just say that I arranged for her to go out to treat her wounds." I quickly got dressed.

"Yes, yes." The maid hurried to nod in agreement, then ran out.

Liang Xiaoge pushed open the door: "Little Princess, Si Huang has always been disobedient. The Shaman King, remembering she is young, let her go. She might have gone to find the Dragon King for revenge herself."

"Then let's search quickly. The territory of Miao Wang City isn't that big. Organizing young and middle-aged people to scour the mountains is sure to find some clues!"

"Mhm." Liang Xiaoge followed me down.

When I ran out of Miao Wang City, I suddenly remembered a question: "Little Brother Liang, how did you get here"

“Huh Was this arranged by Madam Mu She knows where the outer city of Miao Wangcheng is and has arranged for many supplies to be brought over in vehicles. The supplies are currently outside the city, given to a middle-aged man who said he would arrange for them to be delivered at midnight... Of course I had to come! With such a great disaster, Lord Wuzhang must be short-staffed, how could I just stay comfortably at your place”

"Well, at least you have a conscience!" I laughed and scoffed.

He chuckled and said, “Of course. Though the outside world might be full of splendor, one's own hometown is always the most important.”

I wish everyone else could have Liang Xiaoger's kind of mindset.

We rushed to the dock below. Liang, following me closely, inspected the supplies allocated to each household. Many people's eyes toward me became friendlier.

A signal flare suddenly shot up from the back mountain of Miao Wang City, bursting into a cluster of sparks against the dusky sky.

"What is that" I asked a soldier leaning over the dock.

"Um, it's probably our Miao King's signal. They might have found those zombie corpses there—"ace of worry between her brows and listless eyes. At a glance, it was clear that she was troubled. What else is there to seeAt that moment, Yu Gui extended a finger and shook it: "Auntie, your aura is...
