C326 puberty

After finding an inn, she did not even have the time to pay up. Carrying her sword, she viciously ordered someone to give her a room in the upper house before she dragged her tired steps through the door and fell asleep.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a wicked guest. His entire body reeked of a sword embedded with gold and jade, but his body was covered in wounds and his clothes were stained with blood. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like he was a proper resident, so he quietly ordered some servants to report him to the officials.

In her dreams, Helian Shuang was woken up by the addition of sword soldiers. A group of officials escorted her to the yamen without even listening to her explanation. In a fiendish manner, they directly escorted her to the yamen. Even if she kept shouting and revealing her identity, no one would believe it.

Princess Helian had never suffered so much in her life. She stayed in the local yamen prison for more than ten days before someone finally brought her up. They bowed their heads and said that it was the crown prince's order to bring the princess back.

Helian Peng flew into a rage as he pointed at that person and yelled, "Burn this prefecture's yamen to a crisp, then drag out that prefecture official and chop him to death with a knife. Then, whip his corpse to show the crowd!"

The person replied with a smile as he coaxed her into a horse carriage and brought her back to the capital. As for the despotic and malicious orders given by Helian Shuang, naturally no one would actually carry them out.

The first person he saw was the elegantly dressed Helian Yu. He was being led by someone to sit on a sedan chair, condescendingly looking down at his unruly royal sister.

"Is she really a princess?" Helian Yu looked at her lazily and asked casually.

The palace maid who was leading the way lowered her head and answered with fear.

Helian Lie angrily kicked her away. He raised his head and looked straight at Helian Yu. "Big Brother Crown Prince, if you didn't propose that the three of us split up and flee for our lives, would I have fallen to such a state?"

Helian Yu turned his head to the side and covered his nose. "Royal sister, you should quickly bathe and change clothes before coming here to speak."

However, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he knew that he was in a miserable state. He could only endure the humiliation and quickly return to his own oriole to have someone wash him and change his clothes.

In the past few months, she had been on the run, feeling very tired and hungry, so much so that when she lay on her back in the bath barrel, she fell asleep very quickly. Only when the palace maids kept changing the water and scrubbing her clean did she hear a tearful call from outside, "My Yan'er, you're back …"

Helian Xianzi woke up in a daze and realized that his mother, Zuo Lian, the number one favorite concubine of the Northern Chu, had arrived.

She tiredly stood up from the bath barrel, spread her arms, and dressed herself in layers of palace maids before slowly walking out.

Zuo Lian was waiting anxiously in the main hall. He kept pacing back and forth. When he saw his precious daughter coming out, he wailed and went forward to hug her. "Yan'er, mufei is so worried!"

"Mother, I'm very well. You don't have to cry as if I'm already dead."

Zuo Lian held her face in his hands and looked left and right. His eyes were filled with tears as he cried until his exquisite face was in a mess. "Mufei is just worried about you. I told you not to follow me to the East Abyss. You didn't listen. How is that a good place … "Especially someone like Xiao Yixiu …"

"Alright mufei!" Seeing that he was unable to stop her nagging, Helian Peng suddenly pointed to the door. "Father, you're here too?"

Zuo Lianshan abruptly stopped crying and hurriedly wiped his face with a handkerchief. "Your majesty, allow chenqie to go in first and put on some makeup …" |

He hurriedly ran to the inner room to look for a mirror. His eyebrows were plastered with powder, as if he was afraid that he was not in the least bit considerate.

Helian Peng knew that this move was the most effective against his mother's wife. He helplessly sighed, walked in, and said, "Okay okay, he's gone. Mother, quickly finish your makeup and chase after him, so that he won't be angry at you for intentionally being rude."

"Yes, yes. I'll go now …" Zuo Liangliang carefully looked at his beautiful face before he hurriedly ordered Helian Xianzheng to take good care of him.

Helian Lie fell weakly on the bed, and his mind remembered the sound of the forest.

She did not know that Helian Yu had encountered the same thing as her on his way back. However, that mysterious voice had spoken even more and made some unimaginable demands.

Of course, Helian Yu didn't need to care about it at all. However, the request the voice made was extremely tempting.

At this moment, as he recalled that matter, he took out a soul bead from his bosom and gently caressed it.

Did the soul orb really have a soul? This question had puzzled him for a long time. Every time he was suspicious, he would take it out to have a look. Even if he could see through the bead, he could only see the floating characters inside, nothing else.

The combinations of those runes were also constantly changing. Although there were no obvious patterns, after looking at them for a long time, he realized that there were only a few combinations, so he tried to transcribe it and wrote down many pieces of paper.

In the past, the reason why he had escaped from the Northern Chu was because he could not meet the previous emperor's requirements. He had to defy the heavens and change his fate, and now, even if Helian Yu gave him all his promises, he could not welcome him into the palace.

From Helian Yu's point of view, he wanted to hold a sacrificial ceremony in the next moment to revive Gu Qing Li. However, Helian Jin's ability had many limitations. In addition to the time and place, there was also a need for a sacrificial host body.

Everything else could be dealt with, but the people who were chosen for the sacrifice, according to the name of the birth date given by Helian's sacred art, even after searching throughout the entire Northern Chu Country, were still unable to find a suitable girl.

Helian Yu had blamed him for his harsh demands. However, the divine ability Helian Lie calmly swept his gaze over him. "If these conditions weren't harsh, I would have already revived the person I wanted to resurrect. Why would you help me?"

Helian Yu was speechless. Other than searching for the girl with the special birthdate everywhere, he also had to find a suitable carrier for Helian divine ability to revive another person. This caused him to be extremely annoyed.

What the Helian Divine Art needed was a pure Yang youth, and what Helian Yu needed was a pure Yang girl. He silently fiddled with a wooden bimbo compass in his hand. The black and red shading lines had already become oily after being rubbed by his hands. It was obvious that it had been there for an unknown number of years. The engravings were still clear, the needle slightly swaying, pointing directly north.

Back then, when he had fled the palace in a panic, he had brought along many mysteries with him. This compass he carried with him had also been lost in the palace, which he had easily obtained from the palace through Helian Yu. He couldn't help but feel his heart undulate as he recalled the events of the past.

In order to show his reverence and status, not only did the emperor of the Northern Chu, Helian Yuan Chen, bestow upon him the surname of the country, he even built a quiet hut in the palace for him to stay in order for him to cultivate and refine pills.
