Evil Emperor's Wild Consort-Chapter 1761: Side Story: Xue'er And Xun'er 4

"Let's go."

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.
