"Many thanks, Mister Lei." Princess Xinxin was overjoyed. She had always been deeply concerned about Qiongqiong. As the daughter of the lofty Immortal Emperor, she was destined for a lonely life, while Qiongqiong had been her playmate since childhood. The immortal law Qiongqiong had violated was not truly anything serious. Even Gu Suqiudi had not been suppressed within the Heavenly Punishment Prisoner Crystal; what punishment could there be for Qiongqiong, merely an accomplice? The Empress had only punished her severely to warn Princess Xinxin, fearing she might repeat the same mistakes. Yet this punishment had not only filled Princess Xinxin with guilt, but had also made her seek opportunities time and again to descend to the lower realm and rescue her. As for the trip to Sage River, it had likewise been to search for Qiongqiong. What Xin Xin had told Xiao Hua about descendants and juniors had not truly been a deception.
Now that Princess Xinxin heard Qiongqiong had escaped her plight, she was simply ecstatic, and the burden in her heart vanished without a trace.

"Come in..." A faint voice arose beside Sun
