She planned to get everything in order, find Dong Yong, and leave immediately.

But she did not know that just outside Qingshan City, not far from the village, a stunningly beautiful woman was walking slowly in her direction.

It was Jade Rabbit. With a light tap of her toes, she stirred the earth veins with Immortal Power and awakened the sleeping land.

The land sensed the summons and hurriedly emerged. When it looked up and saw Jade Rabbit of the Lunar Goddess, it was instantly terrified and quickly bowed in greeting.

"Qingshan City's Land, this old man pays his respects to Lady Jade Rabbit!"

At the same time, the Land was inwardly shaken. This is bad! Lady Jade Rabbit has come in person. Could she have already discovered that the Seventh Princess is hiding here?

Throughout the Earthly Immortal Realm, news of Jade Rabbit descending to the mortal world had already spread. Had she not come down this time to find the Seventh Princess, who had secretly descended to the mortal realm?

The Land knew better than anyone where Ziwei, the Seventh Princess, was hiding.

More importantly, the Seventh Princess was already carrying a mortal's child! If Heaven learned of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At that thought, a pale hue involuntarily appeared on the Land's face.

As soon as Jade Rabbit saw him, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Land, tell me. Do you know where the Seventh Princess is now?"

"The Seventh Princess? Which Seventh Princess?"

The Land pretended to be confused, putting on an expression of ignorance as he asked in return, "Lady Jade Rabbit, are you referring to that Highness who secretly descended to the mortal realm?"

"Don't try any tricks in front of me."

Jade Rabbit's gaze turned cold. She had already seen through the Land's intentions and said bluntly,

"If you do not hand over the Seventh Princess's whereabouts, once word reaches Heaven, the consequences will be clearer to you than to me."

At this, the Land's expression grew even worse. He naturally understood that if Heaven truly found out, he would probably be unable to escape disaster.

But he had already received the Seventh Princess's kindness. How could he tell Jade Rabbit where she was hiding?

Seeing the Land's complicated expression, Jade Rabbit sneered and continued to pressure him. "You had better weigh this carefully."

The Land took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm. "This old man truly does not understand what you are talking about, my lady."

"Right now, at most, you are merely concealing information. Your crime is not yet severe."

Jade Rabbit narrowed her eyes slightly, and a pressure slowly emanated from her, making the Land feel wave after wave of suffocation.

"But if you insist on refusing to speak, then when the Great Heavenly Venerate personally asks about this, at best you will lose your divine office, and at worst your soul will scatter.

"There will be no place for you to stand in the Three Realms."

Jade Rabbit's words pierced the Land's heart like needles. Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and a trace of fear surfaced on his face.

He knew full well what kind of storm would erupt once this matter was exposed.

The Land began to waver. Jade Rabbit noticed his hesitation and continued,

"The Seventh Princess has a noble status. Even if she violated Heaven's laws, at most she will be reprimanded a few times and confined for a while after returning to Heaven."

"But you are different. If you help her hide, not only will you be unable to protect yourself, you will also implicate everything you have built."

With those words, the Land's last sliver of hope was completely extinguished. He took a deep breath and said, "Great God, walk seven miles east. There is a village there."

"The Seventh Princess is hiding in that village."

Jade Rabbit gave a slight nod. Her form suddenly transformed into a streak of silver light and vanished from before the Land in the blink of an eye.

Watching Jade Rabbit leave, the Land wore a bitter smile and could only say inwardly, "Your Highness, the Seventh Princess, this old man can help you no further than this."

"This old man also has to find a way to survive. Your Highness, the Seventh Princess, please do not blame me."

With that, he let out a soft sigh, transformed into a streak of yellow light, and burrowed into the earth, disappearing in an instant.

At Dong Yong's home, Ziwei had finished packing everything. She planned to go out to find Dong Yong and leave Qingshan with him.

Just as she stepped out of the room, she suddenly felt a churning in her abdomen, and her heart clenched at once!

As an immortal, she should not have experienced obvious fetal movement or discomfort during pregnancy.

But now, she had been pregnant in the Earthly Immortal Realm for nearly ten months!

Realizing that something was wrong, Ziwei's expression changed drastically. She thought to herself, Child, you're not planning to come out right now, are you?

This was absolutely not a suitable time to give birth. She did not dare delay and immediately formed a spell seal, using Immortal Power to protect the fetus within her and forcibly suppress the moment of its birth.

A moment later, Ziwei picked up her bundle and hurried toward the fields where Dong Yong often went.

However, she did not notice that the instant she left, a woman silently appeared inside the house, precisely where she had just been standing.

Jade Rabbit gazed at the departing Princess Ziwei, her expression solemn.

Things had truly begun to become troublesome!

At the same time, in a room at the inn, Su Yang had quietly entered the System Space.

Last time, he had spent three thousand points. He used one thousand to draw from the Blue Prize Pool, but the result had been less than ideal.

Fortunately, he had received a decent reward from the remaining two thousand points in the Purple Prize Pool.

This time, he had five thousand seven hundred points, and he could not help feeling expectant. Perhaps he might obtain another powerful cultivation technique.

As for the Gold Prize Pool, which required one hundred thousand points to open once, he knew that he was not yet qualified.

Su Yang took a deep breath. He bathed and burned incense in the inn, as if preparing for the draw and praying for good luck.

He did not want to suffer the painful lesson of last time again, when one thousand four hundred of his three thousand points had gone to waste.

Looking at the Blue Prize Pool, he pondered briefly and murmured inwardly, How about I draw a few rounds from the Blue Pool first and test my luck?

After thinking it over, he finally made up his mind and lightly clicked the draw button.

As the system began operating, one hundred points were deducted, and the Blue Prize Pool started spinning.

However, when the reward was revealed, Su Yang could not help frowning, his expression slightly helpless.

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a blue reward: one red hair from the Source Heaven Master.]

Just as he thought.

It was too difficult to encounter a miracle with a single draw! Unless it was the Purple Prize Pool, which was another matter entirely.

With a soft sigh, Su Yang drew six more times in succession from the Blue Prize Pool, spending six hundred points.

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a blue reward: five bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid.]

A trace of surprise appeared on his face.

"Looks like the Blue Prize Pool isn't entirely without highlights."

Hundred Herbs Liquid was a commonly used auxiliary item for ordinary disciples of Lingxu Cave Heaven in the Shrouding the Heavens World. For cultivators in the Sea of Suffering Realm, it could continuously expand the Sea of Suffering and increase their strength.

However, it was not very meaningful to Su Yang. He had already surpassed the Sea of Suffering, crossed the Life Spring, built the Divine Bridge, and reached the Other Shore Realm.

Thus, the Hundred Herbs Liquid was dispensable to him.

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a blue reward: Hundred Year Vermillion Fruit.]

Su Yang raised his brows slightly. Hundred Year Vermillion Fruit?

In ordinary worlds, such a thing was something one might encounter only by chance. But in the Primordial World, a Hundred Year Vermillion Fruit could probably only be considered an ordinary wild fruit.

Even cultivators would be too lazy to pick it.

After all, in this world, only spirit medicines that were thousands or tens of thousands of years old were treasures.

The Hundred Year Vermillion Fruit was still nothing more than a useless item.

[Congratulations, Host. You have received a blue reward: Black Emperor's Tooth.]
