<h4>Chapter 1384: Chapter 1381: The Downfallen Princess</h4>


    After a passionate moment, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but look at Hongying beside him and whispered, "Why are you so... fiery today?"


    Hongying’s face was flushed: "I want to cherish the time alone with you."


    Xu Wendong’s heart trembled, clearly not expecting Hongying’s fiery passion to be for this reason.


    Upon reflection, he understood.


    They were about to meet Fei Yan. If she still remembered the events in the Demon Realm and considered their past friendship, a fierce battle would be inevitable.


    At that time, he would surely neglect Hongying.


    Thinking of this, Xu Wendong held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "No matter when, you are a particrly important person in my life."


    Hongying nodded with a face full of emotion. After her strength recovered, she donned a fiery red dress, tidied her clothes, and regained her former graceful and elegant demeanor.


    Hongying said, "You rest here first, I’ll go find Sister Feiyan."


    "Okay."


    Xu Wendong replied, and after Hongying left, he sat cross-legged and entered into cultivation.


    During the lengthy journey across the Chaotic Star Sea, he was mostly traveling, rarely calming down to cultivate.


    After cultivating for more than an hour, Xu Wendong slowly opened his eyes, with a trace of helplessness in his gaze: "When can I break through the current realm!"


    He had been stuck at the Great Ascension Peak for several years, unable to make a breakthrough.


    However.


    This time he clearly felt the appearance of azure blue energy in his Sea of Consciousness.


    This energy formed a sharp contrast with the Virtue Power he cultivated in his Sea of Consciousness.


    "This should be the faith power of the Sea Demon Tribe, right?"


    Xu Wendong murmured, having defeated the Sea God and saved the Sea Demon Tribe, which was a great merit, making acquiring Virtue Power a matter of course.


    But to his surprise, the Virtue Power generated by the Sea Demon Tribe waspletely different from that of the Human Race.


    In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.


    Apanied by a joyful sound of footsteps, the door was pushed open by Hongying, who walked in smiling brightly with a radiant face.


    Xu Wendong smiled and said, "It seems you have met Fei Yan, and she remembers every little thing about the Demon Realm!"


    Hongying responded with a nod, "Sister Feiyan lives in the Princess Mansion, and upon learning about you, she can’t wait toe see you."


    "However, she is, after all, the Princess of Lingyou Kingdom, so she has to be mindful of her identity and behavior."


    "I’ve arranged with her to visit the Princess Mansion tomorrow noon, then you can meet each other."


    Xu Wendong nodded slightly, filled with anticipation for the uing reunion.


    After all.


    It has been several years since theyst saw each other!


    Coming back to his senses, Xu Wendong looked at Hongying, with a smile of mysterious meaning: "It’s gettingte, shall we rest first?"


    Hongying blushed and nodded, then went to the bed and began another shameless life with Xu Wendong, as the breath of spring filled the room.


    ------


    The next day.


    Waking up under the bright daylight, Xu Wendong and Hongying leisurely left the inn.


    The two strolled in the morning light, tasted the local specialty breakfast in the capital city of Lingyou Country, and then bought some gifts, finally arriving outside Fei Yan’s Princess Mansion.


    Contrary to Xu Wendong’s expectations, the Princess Mansion did not exhibit grandeur or mboyance in the traditional sense but rather conveyed an understated elegance.


    Though the mansion only spanned over a dozen acres, it cleverly utilized every inch of space, creating a warm yet dignified atmosphere.


    The gate was neither too tall nor short, perfectly adorned with an ancient que inscribed with "Princess Mansion" in graceful yet forceful characters, seeming to reflect Fei Yan’s personality, both noble and approachable.


    The entranceckedplex decorations and no imposing stone lions guarded, just two vermilion doors standing quietly, asionally swaying lightly in the breeze, emitting low rhythmic sounds.


    Wind chimes hung on the lintel, tinkling softly, adding liveliness and elegance to the mansion.


    Xu Wendong couldn’t help but exim, "If not for the words ’Princess Mansion,’ I’d think this was an estate of some elite secr family!"


    Hongying nodded in agreement: "I was also surprised when I came yesterday; though the mansion exudes understated elegance, itcks the royal majesty, not like a residence of a princess."


    "Of course, this is rted to Fei Yan’s disappearance over those years."


    "It is said that the current Monarch of Lingyou Country has seven princesses; although Fei Yan was favored previously, during her disappearance, the Monarch favored the seventh princess."


    "Thus, the seventh princess moved into the Imperial Pce, which was originally Sister Feiyan’s pce."


    "And when Sister Feiyan returned, she was arranged to stay here."


    "Though she is a princess, her situation is not favorable."


    Xu Wendong sighed deeply in his heart, as throughout history, the Imperial Family has been indifferent, with kinship being worthless in the eyes of the Royal Family.


    Because Hongying had the token given by Fei Yanst night, upon presenting the token, the guards at the gate immediately bowed and led the two smoothly into the Princess Mansion.


    Entering the mansion, a different world appeared.


    Beside the path, green trees shaded, and flowers clustered, not as splendid as a royal garden, but rather exuding the gentle and soft beauty of Jiangnan’s water towns.


    Rocky hills and ponds, arranged with a natural beauty, with a few lotus leaves floating on the water and asionally some goldfish leisurely swimming by, adding vitality and charm.


    Although the mansion had few buildings, each was exquisitely designed, with the fluctuations of formation.


    The roofs covered with green tiles harmonized with the surroundings, and the walls were covered with vines, lush and vibrant, as if even time had slowed down here.


    Xu Wendong looked around, silently praising.


    Though this Princess Mansioncked the air of luxury, it subtly conveyed a unique nobility and pressure, granting inner peace to those within.


    Momentster, Xu Wendong’s steps finally entered the front hall of the Princess Mansion, where anticipation and nervousness intertwined intoplex emotions, causing him to spontaneously slow his breath.


    Inside the front hall, the lighting was soft, arranged elegantly yet warmly, with a faint floral scent in the air, making everything just right.


    At this moment, his gaze traversed every inch of the front hall, finally resting on the woman he had long yearned for.


    Her figure was graceful, with smooth and tight curves, like the softest curves between mountains or the finest workmanship of heaven and earth.


    Her silk dress gently wrapped around her, enhancing rather than concealing her beauty, adding fluidity and agility to every delicate step.


    Her waist was slender, lightly graspable with a sense of the inherent resilience and strength beneath, akin to wilted willow strands swaying and evoking endless imagination.


    Her features were exquisite, like a masterpiece carved by heaven, with every inch perfectly bnced, without any w.


    Between her brows, a hint of heroism interwoven with gentleness, possessing the nobility and pride of a princess, yet retaining the softness and meticulousness of a woman.


    Her eyes were deep, seeming to hold the starry seas, as if perceiving all things within the world, entrancing anyone who gazed upon them, unable to extricate themselves.
