Facing the boundless darkness, Ronghua still chose to open her eyes and look up at the starry sky.

Countless nights had been spent like this, so it was not a big deal.

Suddenly she saw the python frozen by her. Having been frozen by her for so long, it must have been dead. Ronghua got up and walked to the python that had been frozen. Then she felt something was wrong. How could there be such a thing in this place?

The first-order black giant python generally lived in a sparsely populated place, and would not come out until it grew up. Besides, it was challenging to catch it. The python came at a good time, probably when she jumped into the water to cool off. It happened to be the critical moment of cultivation, which almost made her lose the spiritual power she had absorbed, so she always thought it was too coincidental.

It seemed that it was not an accident but an intentional deed.

There were still traces of its attack on Rongnuan on the ground. Such a big crack showed how much force it had used. It had been a long time since Rongnuan jumped into the water. But it seemed that it didn’t move after such a long time. Didn’t it want to change a place? It chose this place to wait, but how did it make sure that Rongnuan would come out from the same place？

Was there anyone in control of it?

Someone had controlled snakes and avoided her detection. Was that Weilian? Was he here?

She still didn’t know where he was by changing the world. Besides, it was not his style to choose such a low-level approach.

“Except Weilian---the King of Death, there was only Rongnuan on the shore at that time. What was his purpose? I must watch him all the time.” Ronghua thought.

Hence, there must be something wrong with Rongnuan. Looking at his quiet sleeping face, Ronghua didn’t have the intention to kill him and didn’t want to think too much about him. Everyone had a secret. He didn’t want to talk about it, so Ronghua didn’t ask. As long as he didn’t hurt her and didn’t do other outrageous things, she needn’t care so much.

It depended on when you show your flaws.

Ronghua adjusted the string of beads on her hand, which was the most direct way she used to contact Shenyuan. She had asked him to look something up, and counting the days, he should have found it!

Moreover, how long had it been since she last contacted Shenyuan? As the bead moved, the special one on it lit up. Ronghua turned and smashed the ice block with the giant python. It was better not to have such a thing.

The giant python shattered into ice dregs with a trace of imperceptible breath, instantly disappeared when Ronghua turned around. However, she still saw a little bit, “What is that?” Flames gathered in her hand, and when she was about to check the breath, the appearance of Shenyuan concealed it.

As soon as Shenyuan appeared in front of Ronghua, he was frightened by her. Her face was livid, and she was obviously enraged. His appearance must have disturbed the princess, so he naturally didn’t speak, waiting to be punished. After a while, he saw that Ronghua did not get angry, but her expression still looked terrible. “Your Grace, what’s wrong with you?” he asked speculatively.

Ronghua withdrew her mind for inspection. When her eyes opened again, it turned black around her. Then she said lukewarmly, “Nothing, how’s it going?”

Shenyuan answered, “Your Grace. I found them. At the request of the princess, I went to the people of the Race of Gods. Most of them gather in the Realm of Humans, some live in high profile, some in low profile, but fortunately, none of them are discovered by others. A small number of them live in the Realm of Monsters and are protected by the King of Monster-Shigong. Moreover, they hide well and rarely appear in front of people.”

“Hide well? Shigong was quite faithful to his word.” Ronghua sneered, “Do they think I can’t find them, or they can pretend nothing happened? “

Shenyuan was frightened to tremble, and he knew Ronghua was still angry. Then he said in a shaky voice, “Your Grace, they have no choice but to hide.”

“Have no choice? Did I drive them out of the Realm of Gods? Did I ask them to hide?” Ronghua’s voice trembled with emotion. Seeing she was mad, Shenyuan didn’t know how to explain it, so he lowered his head and kept silent. At this moment, it was better to shut up.

“Send a word to them that if they still think they belong to the Race of Gods, do what they should do. Don’t wait until I regret it. Otherwise, they will have no chance.”

“What if they still don’t want to fight, Your Grace?” Shenyuan probed.

Ronghua looked at him coldly, “Have you lived in those places for so long that you have forgotten who you are? Don’t you remember what I did to the traitor of the Race of Gods?”

Shenyuan was struck by Ronghua’s words. Someone betrayed the Race of Gods before, opened the gate, and prepared to bring a man to the Realm of Gods. When Princess Ronghua got to know it, she directly took back the man’s talent and expelled him from the Realm of Gods. To prevent any alien from knowing where the Race of Gods was, those who collude with the enemy will be killed in the name of an act of God.

She directly shattered their illusion of attacking the Race of Gods.

Ronghua crouched down and looked at Shenyuan. “I am not an ignorant man, and you know my way of doing things,” she warned him.

Shenyuan lowered his voice as low as he could. “Yes, Your Grace!” he answered.

As he was about to leave, Ronghua stopped him again, “Wait.”

He paused and asked respectfully, “Any further orders, Your Grace?”

Ronghua threw him a token and said, “Activate it and send out the message that I am back. If they don’t show up to fight for the Race of Gods, I’ll take their talent back. And tell those who intend to frame me not to try to get close to me. I recently happened to regain spiritual power here, and though the speed is very slow, I don’t mind being faster.”

All of a sudden, Shenyuan couldn’t recognize her. “Does the princess intend to kill? Has her disposition changed after living in the Race of Demons for a hundred thousand years?” he thought.

Taking back their talents meant that they could no longer live as people of Race of Gods, but only as humans. In severe cases, they might lose their lives. Even if one day, Ronghua led the people of the Race of Gods to be true gods, those people would not be able to regain their talent.

“Yes, Your Grace!” he said. In any case, the princess’s order was inviolable. But looking at her current state, Shenyuan was afraid he couldn’t provoke her anymore, so he must calm her down.

“How about Princess Lingxi? Don’t I need to look for her?”

Hearing this, she calmed down a bit. “Keep on, and I want you to keep her safe and sound.”

“Yes!” As expected, the princess Lingxi was able to calm her down.

Shenyuan quickly left.

Ronghua calmed herself and went to sit beside Rongnuan.

She was not only conniving at Lingxi but also at him. She seemed to have a kind of indescribable connivance at him. Like Xia Pumo, she had not known him for a long time, but she felt she always had more patience facing him.

“Who are you? Why can’t I see your heart?” Ronghua touched his forehead and brushed off the extra hair. She put her hand on his forehead, and still couldn’t see anything.

Ronghua, who had no extra power, had the ability of mind reading. As long as she touched a person, she could inspect his inner world.

She used to know what Weilian, the King of Death, wanted in this way, but now...

She had touched him more than once since she had known him, but she had never seen his heart, not even a little bit. Was he born with a protective cover, just like her? Was that kind of “protective cover”?

Ridiculous!

Her left hand could do the spell of polar ice, but her right hand could control the fire of nothingness. She possessed these two strong spells so that strangers dare not to approach her. No one, except her, in the history of the Race of Gods had such a talent. Even the former God Empress had no such an ability.

No one dared to approach her, let alone touch her. Sometimes, she was a little disgusted with herself. Why was she a natural loner?

She was born with the spell of polar ice, so she was top in this aspect. But the fire came later, and when did it begin?

Her mother said the fire was from the hell.

Although it followed her and protected her, she didn’t seem to be born with it in any case. It was like someone gave it to her to defend herself. She didn’t know when it started and whether it was good for her!

Rongnuan suddenly coughed and disturbed Ronghua.

“Rongnuan, are you alright?” Ronghua followed his breath and passed nimbus to him, hoping it would be good for him.

He opened his eyes slowly, and when he was a little clearer, he saw Ronghua’s face and remembered what had happened before he fell into a coma. He suddenly pushed her away, and Ronghua was shocked and stretched out her hand to pull him. “What’s wrong?” she asked.

Rongnuan pushed away Ronghua’s hand and retreated to pant for air. His eyes were wide open as if he didn’t know Ronghua. Turning around, he got up and ran. Ronghua was helpless. He was scared, so her voice was a little softer. “Rongnuan, stop!”

Instead of stopping, Rongnuan ran faster. “Rongnuan!!” Ronghua shouted.

“I repeat it. Stop! Otherwise...”

Ignoring Ronghua, he continued to run. Ronghua pursed her lips and was no longer gentle. “This is what you asked for!” she snarled.

Ronghua stopped smiling and snapped her fingers with her left hand. Not far from Rongnuan, an ice wall appeared.

But Rongnuan still didn’t stop. He saw the ice wall and knew it was the power of Ronghua, and he was betting that Ronghua would not hurt him.

Sure enough, just as he was approaching the ice wall, his feet suddenly couldn’t move. He looked down and saw that Ronghua had frozen his feet. He tried hard to move. “Why! Let go of me!” he shouted, “Let me go! Let me go!”

Ronghua walked over with an impassive face. “Let you go?” she asked.

“Why?”

Ronghua approached him and said, “I give you what you want, but now you tell me that you want to leave?”

He gasped, “You... will kill me!”

“Are you afraid?” Ronghua touched his body.

“I... you will... kill me!”

Ronghua felt it was a little funny. “Kill you? Does it make sense? Is it worthwhile for me to do this?” she questioned.

Suddenly, he was tongue-tied and didn’t know how to answer Ronghua. “But why did you do that? And you often stunned me. Then...”

“Did I hurt you?”

He was a little surprised. He had no reason to believe that she would not hurt him, but after all this time, she had done nothing to hurt herself.

“You were...”

“I was what?” Ronghua interrupted him, “Am I going to kill you? You run so fast.”

He lowered his head and muttered, “No.”

Ronghua laughed, “No? You wouldn’t be... afraid! Did you want to betray me and leave?”

He was silent and acquiesced in what Ronghua said. “I remember I said that the person who betrayed me had already been dead,” Ronghua said.

“If I wanted to kill you, it would be so easy. And will I kill people indiscriminately? The last one who wants to escape has been dead.” Ronghua’s voice suddenly became chilly.

Suddenly Rongnuan shivered, feeling a cold wind blowing over him. Couldn’t he be the next one? He tried to back off but couldn’t move because of his frozen feet. “Ronghua, I... I... Please don’t... kill me.”

Looking at his frightened look, Ronghua felt that she couldn’t frighten him anymore. Maybe he wouldn’t leave if she frightened him, and she would be tired at that time. Ronghua lifted his ban and said, “I won’t kill you. If I had wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago. It was unintentional before, and you’ll know it later!”
