At this moment, Leng Ruoli, who was suspended in mid-air by the old man of the solitary boat, felt a powerful heat surge within her body, making her very uncomfortable.
"Disciple, bear with it for a while. Later, you will possess the internal energy and martial arts that Master has cultivated for two hundred years. If that brat dares to bully you, he won't be able to defeat you anymore," the old man of the solitary boat comforted her.
Hearing this, Leng Ruoli nodded with difficulty.
After the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, Leng Ruoli could no longer endure the chaotic energy surging within her. She eventually fainted. When she woke up again, she was lying in Jun Mohan's embrace. However, she felt her body had become lighter, and a clear stream in her dantian filled her with energy.
"Bai Bing, Xue Hu, quickly pay respects to your new master," the old man of the solitary boat said weakly, seeing Leng Ruoli regaining consciousness.
"Yes!"
Bai Bing and Xue Hu nodded respectfully towards the old man of the solitary boat.
Afterward, the two beasts approached Leng Ruoli and looked up at her, chattering. Jun Mohan didn't understand what Bai Bing and Xue Hu were saying.
However, Leng Ruoli, who understood the language of beasts, understood their meaning perfectly. It meant these two beasts would follow her from now on.
"Disciple, your spatial artifact has been opened by your master. Quickly collect the items in this tomb chamber and the medicinal herbs outside into your space. Master's spirit will soon dissipate."
At this moment, the old man of the solitary boat's spirit was becoming increasingly faint, leaving only a wispy shadow.
Leng Ruoli watched this scene with a hint of sadness. Although she had not known the old man of the solitary boat for long, they were master and disciple. Moreover, the old man of the solitary boat had imparted his internal energy and skills to her, making her reluctant to part.
"Disciple, why are you still dazed? Hurry and move all the valuable items in the tomb chamber into your space! After Master's spirit disappears, this tomb chamber will immediately collapse. Once you've collected these valuables and medicinal herbs, immediately enter that Bagua formation. Don't hesitate; it will automatically teleport you out of the tomb chamber," the old man of the solitary boat said weakly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Ruoli immediately got up from Jun Mohan's embrace and, in a flurry, began collecting the more than a hundred chests of jewels in the old man of the solitary boat's tomb chamber into her space, one after another. Then, she went to the outside of the tomb chamber. As soon as she reached the medicinal field, she smelled a refreshing medicinal fragrance that invigorated her.
"Heavens! So many medicinal herbs!"
Leng Ruoli exclaimed with surprise.
Moreover, all the herbs in this medicinal field were rare medicinal materials on this continent. Among them were over a dozen Snow Root Orchids, three Fire Spirit Fruit trees, and the Immortal Pattern Grass used to make Jade Dew Pills, and so on—all extremely precious medicinal materials.
Immediately, Leng Ruoli took out two small shovels from her system space and handed one to Jun Mohan.
"Jun Mohan, quickly help me dig out these medicinal herbs and collect them into the space," Leng Ruoli urged.
Jun Mohan took Leng Ruoli's small shovel without hesitation and quickly began digging up the medicinal herbs.
Although their movements were fast, they were precise, and they did not damage the roots of these medicinal herbs.
Unfortunately, before they could even dig out half of them, the ground suddenly began to shake.
Then, the anxious voice of the old man of the solitary boat reached their ears: "Disciple, hurry up and dig the medicinal herbs. Master can only hold on for another stick of incense at most."
At this moment, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan's speed in digging medicinal herbs became even more astonishing.
"Jun Mohan, I'll leave this half of the medicinal herbs for you to dig. I'll go to the ice surface first to dig out those dozen Snow Root Orchids and put them into the space," Leng Ruoli said with some urgency.
"Alright, be careful!" Jun Mohan cautioned.
As soon as the words fell, Leng Ruoli had already disappeared from Jun Mohan's sight and walked to the ice surface medicinal herb patch opposite to dig for Snow Root Orchids.
Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan, along with the two beasts, finally entered the Bagua teleportation formation just before the tomb chamber collapsed.
Seeing that Leng Ruoli, Jun Mohan, and the two beasts that had accompanied him for hundreds of years were out of danger, the old man of the solitary boat slowly closed his eyes and disappeared from the tomb chamber.
Immediately, the entire tomb chamber collapsed, and Leng Ruoli, Jun Mohan, and the two beasts were instantly sucked away by a beam of light.
As they left the tomb chamber, both couples and the two beasts felt immense sadness in their hearts. Especially the Xue Hu and Xue Jiao, who had accompanied the old man of the solitary boat for hundreds of years, shed tears on the spot as they left the old man of the solitary boat's tomb chamber.
"Wuwuwu..."
"Master, we will never see you again!" the Xue Hu and Xue Jiao said sadly.
A moment later, the Cold King couple and the two beasts suddenly appeared outside the cave entrance where they had rested. The sky outside the cave was already bright.
At this moment, Yin Chen and the others inside the cave woke up to find that Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan had both disappeared. All of them were frantic and searched everywhere inside and outside the cave but could not find the Cold King couple.
"Brother Yin Chen, could the Prince and Princess have been carried away by wild beasts?" Yin Yi said with red-rimmed eyes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yin Yi finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head by Yin Chen.
"This is the mountainside of Tianyun Mountain, and the climate outside is extremely cold and harsh. Without the Princess, none of us might have been able to descend the mountain alive. Where would there be so many wild beasts?" Yin Chen said speechlessly.
"Then why did the Prince and Princess suddenly disappear into thin air?" Yin Chen asked with a face full of grievance.
"Everyone, calm down. I suspect that the tremor and collapse from the depths of this cave earlier should be the anomaly created by your Prince and Princess," Chu Mingxuan said after a moment of thought.
"The path into the depths of this cave is now sealed, and none of us can get in. If the anomaly is related to our Prince and Princess, doesn't that mean our Prince and Princess are already sealed in the depths of this cave?" Yin Er said with a worried expression.
"Yes, yes, this is very likely!" Yin Chen strongly agreed with Yin Er's deduction.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and go in to rescue the Prince and Princess," Yin Er said anxiously.
"Let's go, enter."
Before Yin Chen could finish speaking, he heard Leng Ruoli's voice.
"Comrades, we're back?" Leng Ruoli shouted loudly from behind them.
Yin Chen and the other three immediately turned around and saw Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan, accompanied by a snow fox and a small white snake with horns, swaggering towards the four of them.
"Prince, Princess, we finally see you back. When we woke up and saw you were both gone, we were extremely anxious. Yin Chen and the other two thought something had happened to you," Chu Mingxuan said, relieved.
"It's nothing, your Prince and I just went out for a bit, but we've already found the Snow Root Orchid," Leng Ruoli chuckled.
"What, Princess, you and the Prince have already found the Snow Root Orchid?" everyone exclaimed in shock.
