"Liuli, wait for me!"

Gu Jinyan sped out from the darkness and caught up with her in a moment.

Yin Liuli looked at him in surprise, "Gu Jinyan, what brings you here?"

Prince Shan glanced at the two of them. "I sent him. In the dead of night, a young lady like you should have someone by your side to protect you."

"Yan'er, I'm asking your Crown Princess to make this trip for me. You don't mind, do you?"

Yin Liuli, "..."

Unexpectedly, this old prince was quite meticulous.

"Greetings, Imperial Uncle."

A smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face. "It's rare for my royal uncle to praise Yan'er like this. He thinks I'm useful for once."

"snort……"

Prince Shan said with a stern face, "Over the years, it's all because of Yi'er who has spoiled you. As a member of the royal family, you spend your days idly and neglecting your duties. What kind of behavior is this!"

Unexpectedly, since this girl arrived, you've become much more restrained and started getting down to business.

The floods in the southeast changed his opinion of Gu Jinyan, this spoiled brat.

Just because he dared to lay a hand on the relics of the Holy Ancestor, I doubt many other princes or grandsons would have the guts.

"Your Imperial Uncle is right."

Gu Jinyan grinned and winked at Yin Liuli, saying, "From now on, Yan'er will definitely do more serious things with Liuli."

Yin Liuli scratched her nose.

For some reason, it always felt strange when he said such serious things.

……

"Let me go! Let me go!"

As soon as they entered Prince Shan's residence, they heard faint, mournful cries coming from inside: "I feel so bad..."

"Ah Ying!"

Prince Shan's expression changed, and he quickened his pace, hurriedly asking his servants, "How is the Princess? How is she!"

Yin Liuli frowned slightly, vaguely sensing an unusual aura permeating the air.

Following in the footsteps of Prince Shanqin, she and Gu Jinyan entered a courtyard.

The courtyard is arranged in a well-organized manner, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and flowing water all present.

In a small fishpond, several koi of various colors swim.

Yin Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing in her clear gaze.

"Princess Anle, come with me."

Prince Shan was walking too fast. He was almost inside the house when he realized that Yin Liuli was still in the courtyard, so he had to stop.

"Your Highness, have someone light the lamps."

Yin Liuli frowned and said, "Light up the courtyard so I can check it out."

"The yard? Is there a problem with the yard?"

Prince Shan hurriedly ordered his servants, "Someone, light the lamps!"

Yin Liuli nodded. "Yes, let's go see the old princess first."

A strange look flashed across Prince Shan's eyes.

He has lived in this courtyard ever since he married the princess.

For decades, nothing inside has been touched, and everything has remained peaceful.

Even if there's a problem, it shouldn't happen in this yard.

"Let me go! Let me go... I can't breathe, I feel so awful..."

Upon entering the room, one finds an elderly princess, over sixty years old, bound like a rice dumpling, rolling around on the bed and wailing.

Although his hands and feet were tightly bound, his body seemed to twist and wriggle incessantly.

His pale face was tinged with a bluish-black hue, his eyes were almost slits with narrow pupils, and his lips moved mechanically, making him seem like an unrecognizable living person.

The servants in the room were at a loss, simply surrounding her and crying in a chaotic chorus.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Grandma, don't scare your grandson!"

……

"Make way, everyone."

Prince Shan almost lunged to the bedside, pressing down on the old princess's writhing body, and said urgently, "Ah Ying, I'm back..."

"I feel so bad... Let me go, let me go!"

The old princess kept swaying her body and wailing, not recognizing him at all.

"Liuli, did you notice anything?"

Gu Jinyan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the old princess's appearance.

"He's possessed."

Yin Liuli frowned and said, "He's a formidable fellow."

"Princess Anle, come quickly and see what's wrong with Ah Ying?"

Prince Shan held the trembling old princess in his arms, his eyes reddening with heartache.

Yin Liuli extended her slender finger and gently lifted the old princess's brow. A wisp of bluish-black energy was pulled out like an earthworm from the soil and twisted incessantly in her palm.

"Dispel evil spirits!"

She circulated her inner energy, condensing an invisible and colorless flame in her palm, which instantly incinerated the black energy.

"Gulp..."

The old princess seemed to have lost all support, and her body went limp as she collapsed into Prince Shan's arms.

Before anyone could react, her eyes suddenly rolled back, and all the black pupils disappeared, leaving only a frighteningly pale white.

"Ah Ying!"

Prince Shan was so frightened by her terrifying appearance that he stammered, "You, you..."

Not only him, but everyone in the room was stunned.

Even Gu Jinyan was sweating bullets.

The air fell into a deathly silence.

The old princess stared intently at Yin Liuli with her pale eyes, her mouth opening and closing to emit a sharp sound.

"Who are you? Don't ruin my plans!"

"Is your job to absorb people's vital energy and yang essence?"

Yin Liuli snorted coldly, "Then I'm definitely going to ruin this good thing! Are you going to come down yourself, or should I drag you out?"

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

The old princess emitted a strange, bubbly sound from her throat, and her mouth opened in an odd, ambiguous grin. The eerie aura emanating from her sent chills down one's spine.

"You've got quite the nerve! I'm not coming down, what can you do to me...?"

"Snap"

Before she finished speaking, Yin Liuli slapped a copper coin stained with cinnabar onto the old princess's chest.

The copper coin seemed to be stuck to her body like glue, and it wouldn't fall off no matter how much she twisted and turned.

Prince Shan stared wide-eyed.

"what!"

The old princess screamed in terror, her body trembling wildly as if she had been electrocuted, "Let me go! Let me go..."

"If you won't come down, I'll have to help you down!"

Yin Liuli flicked her fingers, and a flash of spiritual light appeared at her fingertips. The "Demon-Slaying Talisman" transformed into a streak of red energy, like a flying red ribbon, shooting towards the old princess's brow.

"The root of all energies, the profound origin of heaven and earth, this three-foot red ribbon bears witness to my divine power! So be it! Bind!"

A flash of red light appeared, and a mass of dark green energy was tightly bound by Hong Ling.

Yin Liuli grasped a corner of the red aura, pulled back, and yanked the clump of dark green aura off the old princess.

The bluish-black aura gradually transformed into the shape of a fish, churning in her palm. It struggled desperately, as if tossed ashore, its mouth opening and closing frantically.

"Let me go! Let me go... Please, I've worked so hard to cultivate, please don't kill me..."

Yin Liuli frowned.

"They had no grudge against you, and you almost killed them. What a load of bull!"

She retracted her hand, and the Samadhi True Fire ignited in her palm again, burning away the fish-shaped black mist completely.

"Gulp..."

The old princess then rolled her eyes and fainted.

The copper coin that was stuck to her heart fell off instantly.

This thing is used to protect her heart meridian when subduing demons; otherwise, if the demonic energy carries her away, she's doomed.

"Ah Ying!"

Prince Shan was shocked and quickly hugged her, "W-what's wrong?"
