The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss - Chapter 17

“Xiao Zhenzhen, have you reached the bottom of the pit?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Then help me weave those vines into a simple net. It would be best if the ends of the vines are secured. I need to use these vines as a buffer.”

“Okay, Master.”

Xiao Zhenzhen, following the order, leaped quickly, using her teeth to bite the ends of the vines and continuously wrapping them around the thick, tall tree trunks. While busy, Xiao Zhenzhen also anxiously released her own scent.

“Uuu, Esteemed One, you must be nearby. Uuu, Master must be alright. Such a fun and interesting new master absolutely cannot have anything happen to her!”

In mid-air, Xiao Qingcheng’s hands were already a mess of blood and flesh.

At this moment, she was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the pit below.

Xiao Qingcheng squinted her eyes and could already see the vine net woven by the jumping Xiao Zhenzhen.

Above her head, clouds and mist swirled.

Beneath her feet, dense forests spread.

Listening to the rustling wind by her ears, Xiao Qingcheng knew her descent was still too fast.

Taking a deep breath, she found the strongest support point among the vines.

Xiao Qingcheng shouted: “Xiao Zhenzhen, get out of the way! Your master is about to make an emergency landing!”

With that, Xiao Qingcheng hugged her curled-up knees with both hands, burying her head between her legs.

She sped towards the center of the vine net.

Xiao Zhenzhen, hiding below, was so scared that she covered her eyes and dared not watch.

“Esteemed One, protect us! Esteemed One, protect us! Master must be alright! Must be alright!”

“Bang!”

The moment Xiao Qingcheng made contact with the vines, she felt excruciating pain all over her body.

Her legs had already lost sensation.

The primal energy in her dantian seemed to be on the verge of dispersing.

“It’s over, it’s over. The vines have broken. Master has fallen. Uuu, what should we do?”

Xiao Zhenzhen, seeing Xiao Qingcheng smash a hole in the vine net, rushed forward anxiously.

Suddenly!

A purple figure flashed through the air like lightning.

A burst of extremely powerful primal energy radiated out.

The next second!

Xiao Qingcheng, enveloped in a barrier, slowly began to float upwards.

“Wow! The Esteemed One has arrived! The Esteemed One has arrived! Master is saved!”

Xiao Zhenzhen clapped her paws in delight.

The man in the purple robe, with his hands behind his back, stared intently at the woman inside the barrier with his handsome eyes.

The woman’s purple dress was already in tatters, and her hands, hugging her knees, were a bloody mess.

The woman, curled up like a newborn baby, had a serene face.

Her smooth, black hair danced freely within the barrier.

Pure, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Her every glance was captivating and heart-stirring.

“Esteemed One, Esteemed One!”

Ying Yi, from a distance, rushed over and spoke anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the man in the purple robe waved his hand lightly.

A strand of primal energy, glowing with a golden light, was injected into the barrier, completely enveloping the originally transparent and sleeping Xiao Qingcheng in a golden glow.

From the outside, it looked misty and indistinct.

“How is the situation?”

“Esteemed One, the fluctuations of the rare treasure are becoming more intense. It is estimated that it will emerge within three days.”

Ying Yi knelt on one knee respectfully, looking at the outstanding and enigmatic man in the purple robe floating in mid-air, and said joyfully.

The man in the purple robe, with his hands behind his back, sighed to the sky: “With the emergence of the first rare treasure, this world… will not be peaceful!”

“With Esteemed One here, the Fengming Continent will surely remain stable and peaceful.”

“Yeah, yeah! Esteemed One, is Master alright?”

Xiao Zhenzhen anxiously added.

The man in the purple robe stepped on the air and, with a wave of his hand, drew Xiao Zhenzhen into his palm.

With his jade-like, slender fingers, he flicked Xiao Zhenzhen and threw her into the oval barrier.

“Cultivate well inside. In three days, both of you will be fine.”

Ying Yi, kneeling on the ground, realized the moment he saw Xiao Zhenzhen that the person whose barrier had been personally restored by the noble Esteemed One must be that Miss Xiao.

However, what virtue or ability did this Miss Xiao have to warrant such great effort from the Esteemed One?

Ying Yi, lost in thought, didn’t notice the Esteemed One had instantly moved in front of him.

“Ying Yi, go back and keep watch. Report immediately if anything unusual happens!”

Looking at the expressionless, otherworldly Esteemed One, Ying Yi was so frightened that he quickly saluted and left.

Inside the barrier, Xiao Qingcheng had fallen into a deep coma.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have shattered her bones and was in excruciating pain all over.

But suddenly, a warm and domineering primal energy, like a hot spring, completely enveloped her.

Immersed in this warmth, Xiao Qingcheng felt an unprecedented comfort and security…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Xiao Qingcheng opened her eyes again, her body had already healed.

The barrier above her head dissipated on its own, and a ray of sunlight shone on Xiao Qingcheng, making her face even more enchanting.

“Awake?”

Following the sound, Xiao Qingcheng saw the man in the purple robe standing by the stream.

“Master, it was the Esteemed One who saved you!”

Xiao Zhenzhen was sitting on a tree branch with her legs crossed, basking in the sun.

Xiao Qingcheng was slightly stunned, then checked her clothes.

“Master, it was this divine beast who changed your dress. That dress was completely ruined.”

Xiao Qingcheng nodded: “Xiao Zhenzhen, thank you.”

“What about me?”

Hearing Xiao Qingcheng thank Xiao Zhenzhen, the man in the purple robe, in a rare good mood, turned around and asked another question.

Xiao Qingcheng met his charming gaze, stood up, and walked steadily to the man in the purple robe.

The man in the purple robe squinted his eyes, looking at the composed and calm Xiao Qingcheng. His sexy thin lips slowly curved into a satisfied arc.

In the distance, the stream shimmered with ripples, a beautiful scene.

Up close, the handsome man and the beautiful woman looked at each other, a warm atmosphere spreading.

“Great kindness needs no thanks. You have helped me several times. I, Xiao Qingcheng, will remember this. If there is ever a time when you need me, just say so.”

The man in the purple robe looked at the unpretentious Xiao Qingcheng, a glimmer of interest flashing in his eyes.

A woman who could look at him without having ulterior motives…

There probably wasn’t anyone else in this world like the one before him.

Xiao Zhenzhen, hiding in the treetops, eavesdropped on their conversation and was so frustrated that she covered her chest with her paws: “Aaaaah, Master, take the opportunity to throw yourself at the Esteemed One! Take the chance to capture the Esteemed One! Why are you so reserved?”

“Hmm, I have remembered.”

The man in the purple robe replied indifferently.

Though his words seemed cold, they were actually tinged with a hint of softness.

Xiao Qingcheng pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: “May I know… your name? Since you are my benefactor, there should be something for me to remember.”

The man in the purple robe, with his hands behind his back, stood like a graceful and noble tree in the wind.

Gazing at the clear water, he nodded slightly: “Yes, there is something you should remember…”

Xiao Qingcheng frowned, looking at the man’s perfectly chiseled profile, slightly puzzled.
