Chapter 342 I Shall Claim the First Merit
"Hush, keep your voice down!"
"Can you be as obedient as a lamb, not making a sound, and keeping your eyes closed... Today, we must escape from the palace and leave."
In a corner of the Jing Nation palace, little Mumu slowly crept along the wall.
Behind her, little Suan Ni was wrapped in black cloth, with only two holes for eyes, occasionally emitting a glint of gold when opened.
It was necessary since little Suan Ni was entirely golden, and this was the only way to barely conceal her presence.
At the rear was the Mountain Back Puppet, the most inconspicuous figure in the darkness.
This was a carefully planned escape.
Simu spent half a day learning a technique from Zhang Qingwei to conceal their presence.
Then, she spent another half a cup of tea mastering the technique and becoming proficient in it.
Thus, tonight's escape plan came into being.
As long as they didn't reveal their presence, their two teachers wouldn't notice them.
Once over this wall, they would be free!
No need for literacy, no need for the burdensome rituals of the court, no need to be held in the arms of princess aunts every day, feeling the same oppressive weight as the two mountains back home...
Simu gazed at the wall ahead, gesturing to little Suan Ni and the Mountain Back Puppet beside her.
"One, two, three, jump!"@@@@
Three shadows adeptly leaped over the wall to the other side.
Free!
Simu clenched her little fist, her eyes curving into crescent moons, brimming with excitement.
Suddenly!
Not far away, a palace lamp lit up.
Then, one after another, more palace lamps flickered to life.
Familiar figures emerged before Simu.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Please come back with us, Your Highness."
Grand Tutor Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei led a group of palace maids in salutation.
"Hmph!"
"Teacher, when did you notice me?"
"Was the technique you gave me fake?"
Simu paused, then raised her small fist, staring at Zhang Qingwei with a pout.
If the technique was fake, she would be upset.
"As a mentor, I would never deceive Your Highness Little Princess in any way." Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"I swear by my senior brother's reputation that the technique is absolutely genuine!"
Zhang Qingwei said solemnly.
Demon Realm, the Lava Mountain Range.
The sky was dyed crimson.
The phoenix wings fluttered lightly as Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan gazed at the Great Mirrors of the Myriad Realms.
Seeing Simu leave the Capital City, they both wore expressions of anticipation.
In recent times, they had witnessed Simu's frequent attempts to escape in various ways, only to be caught and brought back by their two masters.
This time, letting Simu leave was also the result of Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan's deliberation.
Although Simu was still very young, she possessed extraordinary strength beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was only fitting for her to explore the outside world early on.
To see the mountains and rivers of Jing Nation, to see its people—this would greatly benefit Simu's growth.
Besides, with Gu Lan, a steady father figure, having left countless defenses behind, no one in the mortal realm could harm Simu.
If by chance something happened, as long as he activated the Divine Sky Ring, Gu Lan could swiftly descend to the mortal realm.
"Friend Gu!"
"Miss Mu!"
"I am heading to the central continent of the Demon Realm to visit an old friend. Since our paths diverge from here, let us bid farewell."
Before a flaming mountain, Emperor Feng Yang bid farewell as he rode on the King of Cranes.
He was going to the central continent to find the Demon Emperor and inquire whether extraterrestrial entities had also appeared in the Demon Realm.
He also intended to inform them of the situation in the Immortal Realm, hoping for mutual vigilance and assistance between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm.
Originally, he had wanted Gu Lan and the others to accompany him.
However, upon hearing that Gu Lan was going to see an old acquaintance, he gave up on this plan.
The matter of extraterrestrial entities ultimately concerned the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm. He had already troubled Gu Lan a lot and didn't want to delay him any further.
"Friend Gu, until we meet again!"
Emperor Feng Yang was usually carefree, but when it came to business, he was decisive.
After bidding farewell to the two, he rode the crane straight into the crimson sky, moving at twice the speed of his arrival.
"I never expected the renowned Emperor Feng Yang of the Immortal Realm to be such a character."
Mu Yuyan watched the direction the crane departed, her view of the cultivators of the Immortal Realm changing once again.
Not all cultivators of the Immortal Realm were selfish, only seeking personal enlightenment and disregarding the lives of ordinary beings.
There were many strong individuals in the Immortal Realm who, like Emperor Feng Yang, worked tirelessly for the safety of the Immortal Realm.
To cultivate immortality and ascend to godhood, one must first become a worthy individual.
Mu Yuyan closed her eyes, the true energy within her surging.
The holy snowflake mark on her forehead appeared, and her aura grew stronger.
"Congratulations, my lady, on another breakthrough in your cultivation."
Beside her, Gu Lan smiled.
His wife had only recently reached the fifth stage of the Emperor Realm, yet her strength continued to progress rapidly. Perhaps it wasn't all due to the inheritance of the Snow Clan's saintess...
Surely, his own diligent efforts played a significant role!
