ve under Lord Beichen, what more can be said Not even he can resist the allure of power. Furthermore, if it weren't for the emperor and regent of the Northern Star Kingdom, the Han family wouldn't ha...[]

After five years, Yun An'an, who had died and come back to life, appeared before them. Xue Qiancheng's joy was indescribable.

From morning till night, the dignified Snow Country Prince followed Yun An'an like a lovestruck teenager.

Whether it's eating, reading, or even sleeping, Xue Qiancheng would always watch Yun An'an fall asleep before leaving.

One day, heavy snow fell all over the world.

Yun'an was wrapped in a fox fur coat, sitting in a warm little house reading a book.

Apu approached, pouring a cup of hot tea. He looked at Yun An'an, who seemed to have something she wanted to say but didn't know how to begin.

Just say what you want.

"Yun girl…me!"

After a moment's pause, he continued speaking.

"Since Lady Yun has the City Lord protecting her, I, a useless wretch, shouldn't stay by her side and cause trouble."

He couldn't bear to leave, though he knew in Yun Girl's eyes he was nothing more than a carriage driver.

During this time together, he truly doesn't want to leave.

But just as the City Lord said, I'm not skilled in martial arts and not smart enough. Staying by Yun Girl's side would only be a burden.

"I'm here to say goodbye with Yun Girl. These are the remaining funds. Thank you for your care during this time, Yun Girl."

Saying that, Apu bowed to Yun'an and, carrying his already packed bag, turned and left.

At the window, reading a book, Yun An'an raised her eyes and looked at Apu, calling him out.

"I want to eat hot and sour noodle soup, with less scallions."

"Huh..."

For a moment, he didn't react. Apu blinked his eyes several times before understanding that Cloud Lady wasn't asking him to leave.

"Okay, I'm on it."

As Xue Qiancheng walked toward A Pu, he noticed her face beaming with excitement. His sword-shaped eyebrows furrowed in concern.

Entering the room, I saw Yun An'an leaning against the window reading. I walked over and closed the open window. Worry etched across his handsome features.

"The cold poison of the phoenix flower is no joke. It's already cold in the snowy country, so if you get colder, how will you manage"

Last night, Qiancheng pestered Yunan An relentlessly, asking her to tell him about her experiences on the Phoenix Immortal Island over the past five years.

When she learned that she survived thanks to the juice of a phoenix flower, her heart ached even more.

Ordinary impatiens are naturally non-toxic, but the phoenix flower that can bring people back to life is highly poisonous, and the poison has permeated into the bone marrow.

Only the Lingxi incense formula can suppress the pain of Phoenix Flower stock investment, and the characteristic herbs suppress the cold poison relapse of Phoenix Flower.

"An An, how did you get that fellow to stay"

Xue Qiancheng's title made Yun An'an's blood eyes twitch. These two characters were indeed awkward.

But Xue Qiancheng wouldn't change his words. In his opinion, they were no longer a master and student, so calling each other by their childhood nicknames felt closer.

"Apu has its purpose."

"What's the use For hot pot noodles Are you kidding me"

Anyone can make hot pot noodles, he can learn it too.

A person who is unskilled in martial arts and not very intelligent being by Yun An'an's side, besides causing trouble, what else can they do

They want to march back to the Beichen Kingdom, but having this clueless fool around is not suitable.

"April, stay by my side. Here, this is for you."

Yun An An needs someone with a simple heart to take care of her, and she's also accustomed to having Apu around.

A Xuanwu talisman landed in Xue Qiancheng's hand. Looking at the gleaming Xuanwu Tiger talisman, Xue Qiancheng was stunned.

"Shouldn't the Xuanwu Command have been in Jiang Yu's hands"

"Well, it's your turn now."

Possessing the Xuanwu military talisman is equivalent to possessing half the military force of Xiling Nation.

Yunan'an believes that with Xue Qiancheng's ability, she will certainly bring the Xuanwu Talisman's effect to the fullest.

"Where did this thing come from"

"Let's just consider it a gift from someone else."

This use of the word "couple" is quite clever. While five years can bring about many changes, there's one thing that won't change.

He's like a cloud, always bringing trouble.

To have received the military orders from Geng Yuji, something interesting must have happened during that period.

After a short while, Apu returned to his room with a bowl of hot noodle soup. He had put in less scallions and more meat than usual.

"Cloud Maiden, eat it while it's hot."

"Ah Pu, come here, this King has something to ask you."

Xue Qiancheng beckoned with his hand, signaling Apu to come closer. He had some things he wanted to ask clearly.

Apu is afraid of Xue Qiancheng. He has heard the legends about the Snow Country City King, which are very terrifying.

"Come here, this king can't eat you anyway."

Xue Qiancheng grabbed Apu and asked them about what had happened to them in Xiling Nation.

And it needs to be explained in detail.

"What's all the fuss about"

Everything needs to be said, it would take a whole hour just to say it all.

"Go on, I have the patience to listen."

"Well...where should I begin"

Ah Pu thought about it for a while, and then he set sail for the Phoenix Immortal Island. He started talking from the first time he met Yun Girl at Yin Yue Lake.

From their first meeting on Phoenix Immortal Island, to Yun An'an leaving Phoenix Island and stepping into Xiling Kingdom, then to Shangli Village, and finally to Ansu Town where she met Jiang Yu Heng, the Moon-Viewing God Tree...

Ap said as they were speaking of their experiences in Xiling Kingdom, when it came to the Heavenly Clock City and Jiang Yuji, Xue Qiancheng slammed her fist on the table.

"To think he wants to marry An'an, what a joke! He doesn't even know his own worth. Does he deserve her"

He deserves to have his military orders stolen by Yun An'an.

Xue Qiancheng knew Yun An'an's personality too well.

Even if she hated Beichen Yi to the extreme, even if she wanted to overthrow everything he had, she would never kill innocents.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuji wanting to confine Yun An'an and make her the golden canary of his Jiang family, she wouldn't have been poisoned after greedily drinking the tea. The military order wouldn't have fallen into his hands either.

"That's right, when I first saw how Kenji looked at Yun Girl, it was like a wolf seeing meat."

Apu and Xue Qichen are from two different worlds, one a commoner and the other a royal noble. Their identities are vastly different, but on one matter, the two share the same viewpoint.

"Fortunately, the City Lord arrived in time, or else we would have been captured by Ginger's soldiers."

Although Apu knew Yun An'an was a master, the other party were all well-trained members of the Jiang family army. If they were really caught, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing A Pu's sincere expression, Xue Qiancheng gently patted his shoulder.

You are still young.

Even if the other party had over a hundred people, they would still be no match for Yun An'an.

But luckily, I appeared at that time, otherwise, I would have missed out on getting to know Yun An'an.

"Snow Thousand City."

Here I am, Ann. Your big baby is right here.

"Is it going to kill you to speak nicely"

After five years, he's become a prince of a kingdom, yet this guy is still the same shameless scoundrel.

The guards standing outside the door were not only astonished, but also used to it.

These past few days, the prince's strange behavior has already refreshed their worldview. They've tried to look past it...

"Have you heard that there are cloud-mist pines in the snowy country Can you find me a seed from a cloud-mist pine"

"Clouds and mist, pine trees What does AnAn want to do"

"Extend life."

He said it with a light and airy tone.

Yun'an told Xue Qiancheng.

She shouldn't have left Phoenix Immortal Island, but for the sake of killing Beichen Yi, she didn't want to wait another moment.

Although the Phoenix Flower granted her rebirth, it also drastically shortened her lifespan. She now has only three years to live. The only way to prolong her life is to find the seeds of the Cloud Mist Pine, the Heavenly Bamboo fruit, and the Immortal Cloud Orchid root.

Yes, it's in Xue Du. We will depart for Xue Du this afternoon.

Concerning Yun'an's life and safety, Xue Qichen dared not delay for a moment.

Yunwu qing song can only grow in snowy countries, living for a hundred years, growing for a hundred years, blooming for a hundred years, and dropping seeds for a hundred years.

That is to say, it takes four hundred years for a cloud pine from growth to seed dispersal.

The snow country has now entered winter, with heavy snowfall blocking the way forward.

Originally, a trip that should have taken half a month ended up taking twenty days.

"My lord, the heavy snow has blocked the mountain pass. We'll have to wait for it to stop before we can proceed."

Because of a sudden blizzard, the group was trapped in a hunter's cabin in the mountains.

The guard reported on the conditions ahead, saying that for some reason this year's snow had come unusually early and was falling heavily. He had lived for over twenty years and had never seen such a large snowfall.

"Alright, you may leave now."

Yes, Your Highness.

There were three houses in the Hunter's family. The guards huddled together in one, the Hunter and his family crammed into another, and the remaining house was left to Yun An'an, Xue Qiancheng, and poor Ap.

Apu, huddled in the corner, was small and helpless, curled up into a ball warming Yun An'an with the burning kang.

The air in the house was filled with the aroma of Lingxi incense. The cold poison had struck again the day before yesterday, so I could only use Lingxi incense to suppress the pain.

But the remaining spiritual incense is dwindling.

“I have already sent someone ahead to Xue du to purchase Lingxi incense, and there is also quite a bit in the palace.”

Xue Qiancheng looked on with pity. Lingxi Xiang was a double-edged sword for Yun An'an, using it or not would damage her body.

The only way to cure it right now is to find three kinds of herbs as quickly as possible to completely detoxify the Phoenix Flower.

After another day, the wind and snow finally stopped.

The carriage traveled on the snowy road, its wheels crunching and squeaking over the loose snow.

Apu was driving the carriage. Yun'an lay inside, wrapped in a thick fox fur cloak. Xue Qiancheng sat beside him, chattering about their past at Yingtian Academy.

In the blink of an eye, they had gone their separate ways, but the person they cared for remained unchanged in their hearts.

I wonder what their faces would look like when they see you.

"Xueqiancheng."

Putting down the book in her hand, Yun An'an lifted her slightly drooping eyelids and looked at him.

"You would willingly assist the Snowy Veil City This was something I never considered."

"I've cleared up all the misunderstandings between me and Xue Mu City. For the Snow Country and for you, Beichen Yi is our common enemy."

Xue Qiancheng was telling the story of what had happened to the two brothers after they returned to Xue Guo. They found that the royal family of Xue Guo had already become corrupt, caring only for their own interests and greed, even willing to betray their country.

Adding to this, upon hearing the news of Yun An'an's death, the two decided to hold onto the Snow Country and eliminate all internal threats with lightning speed, concentrating all their power in their hands.

From then on, Xue Mu Cheng ascended the Dragon Throne to rule Xue Guo, while Xue Qian Cheng became the City King, waging war across the land. The two brothers worked together inside and out, forming an alliance with Wu Guo to jointly oppose Bei Chen Guo."Director."Zhu Dabo's eyes were red, but he didn't cry. His tightly clenched fists expressed his inner nervousness and fear."Master, my father was a model official throughout his life. He even opened...
