The azure snake’s eyes were full of resentment. The aggrieved tears had nearly fallen from its eyes.

Previously, the azure snake had nearly been abducted when the people found out that the azure snake was capable of speaking human language. Naturally, it would not say a word before these humans again.

Hence, one could only feel from the azure snake’s expression that it was not willingly staying by Feng Ruqing’s side.

“Maiden, you can never do this. The spirit beasts get close to Her Highness as she has a special affinity with the spirit beasts. You can hardly master it. Moreover, when you have returned to Tianyue Kingdom, the emperor would not let you off so easily.” General Murong coughed.

“I see, can I enter the palace now?” Feng Ruqing smiled a little.

“Yes. Maiden, if you want to get close to the spirit beasts, you must be gentle with them.” General Murong stared at Feng Ruqing, as if looking at a spirit herbs mountain.

“He is right, you must be gentle with us.” The azure snake nodded desperately.

“This snake’s spirituality is not bad. You can pet it. You could start by giving it a name.”

“I have gotten a name for it a long time ago.”

“Really? What is the name?”

“Snake Soup…”

General Murong was dumbstruck by Feng Ruqing’s casual remarks. He looked up at Feng Ruqing blankly.

‘This maiden was truly sent by the emperor of Tianyue Kingdom to learn spirit beasts taming skill? Did the emperor send the wrong person? Perhaps, this maiden could never master the skill.’

***

General Murong did not bring Feng Ruqing straight to the palace. Instead, he brought her to the general manor.

Just as he stepped into the general manor, he ran into a ruffian teenager.

The teenager was handsome. Perhaps he was still at a tender age, he had a youthful appearance.

His glossy hair was blood red. Simply no one knew what he had used to dye his hair. It made him look like a ruffian.

As the ruffian teenager was hit by General Murong, he frowned. Just as he was about to burst with anger, he saw a stunning lady.

With his eyes narrowed, he stared at Feng Ruqing and could not tear his eyes away from her.

“What are you looking at?” Enraged, General Murong glared at the ruffian teenager.

General Murong’s son was going to marry Princess Qingjiu. How could he stare at a lady like this? Although General Murong was not trustworthy, he was as lecherous as his son.

Disregarding General Murong, the teenager’s eyes scanned Feng Ruqing from the bottom to the top.

“Have we met before?”

“No.” Feng Ruqing simply looked past the teenager.

“That’s not right. We have met before. I am sure I have met you before.” Seeing that Feng Ruqing was about to leave, the teenager hurriedly stopped her.

‘I must have met her not long ago. She looks very familiar. Where did we meet before?’

The teenager frowned harder and harder. Suddenly, his face changed drastically. The color drained from his face.

The mausoleum of the Ninth Emperor! Ice coffin!

The teenager and his master were the first ones who had found the mausoleum of the Ninth Emperor and the first ones who had gone to the mausoleum.

There was an ice coffin before the mausoleum.

As the teenager’s master was too curious, he had pushed open the lid of the coffin. Once the lid was opened, the remains within the coffin disintegrated without a trace…

Hence, the people who had gone to the mausoleum after that could only see an empty ice coffin.

There was no wonder that the teenager felt that Feng Ruqing looked familiar.
