"We've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to part ways!" Ling Feng stood up and said.

The girl hurriedly asked, "I... I don't know your name yet."

Ling Feng smiled, "We've met by chance, why insist on knowing each other? What good is a name? We'll probably never meet again. Goodbye!"

With that, Ling Feng turned and walked toward the outer perimeter.

The girl bit her lip lightly, "Don't you want to know my name at all?"

With a slight sigh, the girl turned around, only to find an elderly woman standing behind her!

"Ah, Granny Hua, what brings you here!" The girl was startled, her eyes darting, "Has Father arranged some task? I won't bother Granny Hua, I'll just..."

"Princess Mingyu, haven't you had enough?" Granny Hua sighed and said, "You've had a spat with the Divine Emperor, why run away from home?"

"I... Granny Hua, you know about it?" The girl's tone carried a hint of indescribable sentiment.

Granny Hua nodded, "Ever since you stole the Imperial Army Token, I've been following you."

The girl was shocked, "So, everything just now..."

Granny Hua nodded, "I saw everything just now!"

The girl's expression changed, feeling embarrassed that the earlier scene was witnessed by Granny Hua. What if this reached her father's ears, what would she do?

"Granny Hua, you're the one who loves me most, so you definitely won't tell my father about this, right?" The girl shook Granny Hua's arm and said coquettishly.

Granny Hua laughed, "That depends on your behavior. If you obediently return, I can pretend I saw nothing, but..."

"I won't go!" The girl resolutely said, "I refuse to go. I won't marry, especially not to the foolish son of General Ling Wei. My father must not love me anymore, otherwise, why would he agree?"

Granny Hua said sternly, "Nonsense! The Divine Emperor loves you most, don't you know that in your heart? As for your marriage to General Ling Wei's second son, I'm sure the Divine Emperor has his reasons. But if you just leave, where does that leave the Divine Emperor?"

The girl covered her ears, shaking her head, "Not listening, not listening, I won't listen! Father doesn't love me anymore, and if I go back, I'll only marry that fool. I won't go, even if I die in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, I won't return!"

"In that case, don't blame this old servant!" Granny Hua said gravely, "I can't let you be so willful!"

The girl stepped back, a look of struggle on her face.

Just then, the mysterious dog suddenly leapt up, biting Granny Hua's sleeve, whining with anxious eyes.

The girl understood the dog's meaning; it was urging her to flee.

"You foul dog, I haven't yet held you accountable for peeping at the Princess bathing and stealing the Princess's underwear, but you dare come forward!" Granny Hua scolded, "You're just banging your head against a wall, overestimating yourself!"

With that, Granny Hua struck down with her hand.

"No!" The girl cried out.

But when Granny Hua's hand hit the dog, it was only hurt and grimaced, but its life wasn't threatened, not a single hair was lost.

"What's going on!" The girl was dumbfounded.

Granny Hua is an expert of the Azure Sky Realm, her casual strike holds earth-shattering power, why can't she kill the dog?

The girl wasn't hoping the dog would die, but it seemed like a regular stray dog.

"Awoo!" The dog continued whining to the girl.

The girl gritted her teeth, turned to run, shouting as she fled, "Granny Hua, you must not harm the dog's life, or else I won't forgive you!"

Before the words were out, the girl vanished into the forest.

Granny Hua grew anxious, the Heavenly Punishment Forest was one of the Forbidden Areas, who knows what danger Princess Mingyu might encounter next?

"Get away from me!" Granny Hua roared, a powerful aura surged from her, seemingly to crush the dog.

But this aura seemed to have no effect on the dog, which kept biting Granny Hua's sleeve, pulling down hard.

Granny Hua's heart sank, she noticed something odd, she was being bitten by the dog but couldn't use the Power of the Heaven and Earth Laws, almost as if it was being isolated by the dog.

"This dog is not simple, far from ordinary!" Granny Hua stared at the dog, "I don't care what your True Body is, don't obstruct me now, or I won't go easy on you!"

The dog's eyes showed disdain, a verbal sparring King? I am one too!

"Awoooo!" The dog barked, with a sly demeanor.

Princess Mingyu was racing through the forest when she heard a huge explosion behind her. She stopped, looking toward the source, her eyes slightly red, "Dog, you..."

The girl believed the dog must have been killed by Granny Hua, after all, Granny Hua was an Azure Sky Realm expert!

"Awoo!" Then, from the side of the forest, countless green eyes appeared, soon the girl realized she was surrounded.

"Wolf pack, it's a wolf pack!" Despair flashed through the girl's heart, encountering a wolf pack in the Heavenly Punishment Forest, unless possessing overwhelming strength, she'd be torn apart and become the wolves' prey.

The girl muttered to herself, "I don't want to die, I don't want to be wolf food! I don't want to die!"

Crunching noises rang out, a large Alpha wolf slowly emerged from the forest, followed by other wolves, with a white crescent moon on their foreheads.

"Moon Worshiping Wolves, the Alpha often has Divine Sea Realm cultivation!" The girl's body trembled, gripping her long whip, a cold glint in her eye, "Now, I have to fight, even if I die, I won't sit back and wait!"

The Alpha wolf growled, and the other wolves received the command, quickly charging forward.

"Get back!" The girl shouted, her whip turning into several whip shadows, striking hard at the wolves.

The wolves were repelled but not fatally wounded, their injuries instead stirred their beastly instincts, causing chaos among the pack!

The girl showed a look of despair, when a voice appeared in her ear, "Now you know fear? Dare to sneak out again?"

"Not anymore!" The girl instinctively replied, then froze, "Father?"
