Once everything was tidied up, Xiao Lan immediately got up to leave... Gah!

"What are you doing?"

The cold voice, along with those icy eyes, landed on her, making the half-demon tremble.

"N-nothing, Mother, I'm just looking for some book scrolls to read."

The visitor was none other than the Fengyue Demon Emperor, whose figure resembled that of a "human"!

She stared straight at the half-demon, her thick tail swaying behind her, tendrils of demon energy enveloping the Book Collection Hall, as if probing for any missing parts.

Xiao Lan stood rigidly, feeling the domineering cold demon energy, not daring to make any move.

She knew well that her mother ascended to the Demon Court as the Demon Emperor not just because of her ancestors but mainly due to her cultivation level.

It was not until a long while later that the Fengyue Demon Emperor withdrew her aura, speaking coldly:

"Those rats hiding in the dark have yet to be found. They must still be lurking within the Ten Thousand Mountains, so from now on, you are not to leave this palace by even a step!"

"You, you rest assured, I will never..."

Before Xiao Lan could finish, the Fengyue Demon Emperor turned away with a flick of her sleeve, as if staying another second would repulse her.

"...leave..."

Xiao Lan was left staring blankly at the departing figure clad in a bright red dress, with a pure white tail like hers, her expression inexplicably bitter.

It was always like this, she was always like this!

If you don't like me, why did you bring me into this world?

And Father... Could it be as Mother said before, that she followed the demon emperor's tradition—once pregnant, she devoured Father?

Xiao Lan had no way of knowing.

Since she was very young, whether the imps serving her or within the various palaces of the Demon Court, all demons seemed to regard her father with deep secrecy.

No demon dared to speak a word about her father; even when she coerced an imp to speak, they were quickly discovered and killed by the palace guards.

So, even now, all she knew was that her mother had her with a member of the Human Race...

"Will Father be in the Wei Dynasty?"

...

Chen Yi performed the Inch and Mile three times consecutively, each time covering a great distance.

After three times, in just three blinks of an eye, he had traversed from the Capital City all the way east beyond Jizhou Prefecture, and turning north to enter the region of Beizhi.

Unlike Kyoto Prefecture, Beizhi was still in the grip of ice and snow.

Upon his arrival, Chen Yi saw snowflakes drifting slowly in the dark night sky.

"So, what Mother said earlier was true."

Chen Yi felt the cold wind around him, staring blankly at the snow falling in the night sky, scenes from his childhood flashing in his mind.

"Beizhi is very cold. One winter, the snow was heavy, and when the firewood at home ran out, your grandfather ran through the snow for a long time just to buy some from others..."

Even in early spring, already into March, when flowers were blooming everywhere in Jiangnan Prefecture, Beizhi was still snow-laden.

"Mother..."

A feeling stirred Chen Yi's heart, and under his Sword Intent perception, the events within a thirty-thousand-mile radius around him were clear in his mind.

The most striking were three Small Wooden Swords located within Beizhi—in a town near Beixiong Pass!

A mysterious emotional tug led Chen Yi to take a step and instantly appear above the town.

The town gate bore the words "Heiling County," also covered in snow, and even in the dark, through dim candlelight, one could see the snow layering the rooftops.

Expanse after expanse, all was a world of ice and snow.

To the south of the town were countless military tents, numerous enough to dwarf the town itself.

Within and around the campfires, the crackling sounds of burning wood and coal competed with the hoofbeats of patrolling cavalry.

Beside the campfires, several heavily armored soldiers stood against the flames, the firelight reflecting a scarlet glow on their backs, yet it could not keep the cold of the icy landscape at bay.

High amongst the clouds, Chen Yi surveyed the town and the encampment flying the Wuan Army banner.

After a moment, a smile appeared on his face. His gaze settled on a courtyard within the south gate of Heiling County.

Through the window, a figure was seen busy by the dim candlelight, the sounds of the loom's creaking clear to Chen Yi's ears.

Occasionally, there were snippets of casual conversation.

"Wan Wan, you've been weaving all day, take a rest, it's not too late to continue tomorrow."

"You go to sleep first, husband, I'm almost done and need to get it to you early in the morning to take back to the military camp."

"You only come back once a month, I must do something for you."

"The camp is just ten or so miles away. You can have someone send it once it's done."

"No way! As the marshal of the army, you must lead by example. As a woman, I cannot disturb you, not to mention there are too many busybodies in the camp..."

Before Xia Wanwan could finish, she abruptly stopped the loom, looking at the Little Jade Sword on her wrist.

The palm-sized Little Jade Sword was moving on its own, its blade pointing upward, vibrating incessantly.

If not for the cord binding it to the hilt, it might have flown away from her wrist in an instant.

"Husband, husband, look quickly, the grab item Yi Er left is moving, it's moving!"

"Let me see..."

Xia Wanwan and Chen Taiping examined the trembling Little Jade Sword, exchanging puzzled looks.

"Husband, what is going on? Could it be Yi Er?"

"Don't speculate wildly. Yesterday, I contacted the people from Kyoto Prefecture, Yi Er is now the Heroic Marquis appointed by the Holy Emperor, nothing could have happened!"

"Then how come..."

Unbeknownst to the couple puzzled by the situation, the Little Jade Sword was feeling ecstatic.

Oh my!

Let me go, let me go, I've spotted the bad person who abandoned me!

He's up there, he's up in the sky!!
