Divine Wind’s father was a half-blood elf court musician, his lineage was not noble, but shortly after Divine Wind’s Mother Empress gave birth to him, her Prince Consort died in an accident, which was caused by the invasion of the Human Clan. Since then, the Elf Queen sealed off the Snow Forest Sea and strictly prohibited outsiders from entering; she also harbored a deep hatred for the Human Clan, and anyone invading the Snow Forest Sea would be thrown into Ice Waterfall City. As the only offspring of the Elf Queen, Divine Wind grew up in such an environment since his early childhood. Due to having some Human Clan blood, as a young child, he had heard his father mention the life of the Human Clan. After his father’s death, no one ever dared to speak of the outside world in front of him again, and Divine Wind always harbored a longing and curiosity for the outside world. Although from birth, he was destined to inherit the Elf Throne and become the next Elf King. But, just like his name suggests, he inherently had a whimsical nature, like the most unpredictable wind in the Snow Forest Sea. He was not willing to face mountains of accumulating documents every day, nor did he want to address the balance among various elf clans of Xianju Country, and he was even less willing to accept the Elf Throne, which troubled the Elf Queen greatly. After separating from Yun Sheng at Daoye Mountain, Divine Wind missed her dearly. Only because the Elf Queen summoned him, he had to return to Xianju. He came back in person, but his heart was lost. "I really want to sneak out of Xianju and visit Great Zhou. It’s been so long since I last saw Little Ai, seven hundred and twenty-one days and two and a half hours," Divine Wind picked up a brush and drew a number on the thickest memorial. He missed Little Ai very much and had always wanted to find an opportunity to sneak out over the past two years, but the Mother Empress was watching him closely. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕥⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 "Ah, if this continues, the Mother Empress will surely make me the Crown Prince. Once I become the Crown Prince, I won’t have so much free time to sneak off and see Little Sheng’er. I wonder if Little Sheng’er has gotten fatter or taller over these two years, I miss her so much," Divine Wind said with a face full of sorrow. At the sound of a faint noise, Divine Wind did not turn back, but seemingly inadvertently flicked his fingers, and a gust of wind rolled towards the source of the sound. The wind went back and forth and unexpectedly formed a palm-sized Magic Cage, and within it, a little creature appeared. Divine Wind leaned in with his handsome face and saw that the source of the sound was a Charming Spirit Butterfly, no bigger than a moth. "Little one, how did you end up on the King Tree? If the cleaning lady saw you, she would smack you flat in one slap," Divine Wind played with the Magic Cage in his hand. The Charming Spirit Butterfly bumped against the cage non-stop, seemingly trying to burst out and tell Divine Wind something. Logically, such Spirit Butterflies should not be able to fly up to the Elf King Tree. This Charming Spirit Butterfly must have endured great hardships to get here. Divine Wind noticed some small nicks on the wings of the Charming Spirit Butterfly, caused by excessive flapping. His brows furrowed, Divine Wind remembered something. The Charming Spirit Butterfly, seemingly aware that Divine Wind did not understand its intentions, transformed into a pale green Charming Soul Stone. "Little Sheng’er’s Soul Stone!" Divine Wind gripped his fingers tightly, and the Magic Cage turned into several wisps of breeze, leaving a Charming Soul Stone in his palm. Divine Wind remembered clearly; this was the Charming Soul Stone he had given to Yun Sheng. Under normal circumstances, a soul stone would not separate from a Magic Wand, but the Charming Soul Stone is different. The Charming Soul Stone that Divine Wind sent out was special; it was a Wind Demon Soul Stone that could transform into a Spirit Butterfly. The intention Divine Wind had when he sent it out was that one day, if he wanted to find Yun Sheng, he could use this Soul Stone. Unexpectedly, today it indeed proved to be useful. Why would Little Sheng’er come to Xianju without reason, and judging by the solitary condition of the Charming Spirit Butterfly, Yun Sheng might already be in a deep crisis. The only pathway for outsiders entering Xianju Country is initially through the Snow Forest Sea. If caught, they would surely be imprisoned in Ice Waterfall City. Divine Wind immediately had the court calendar officer bring over the list of prisoners from Ice Waterfall City. The names and nationalities of each prisoner incarcerated in the Ice Prison were recorded in it, constantly updated. Divine Wind skimmed through the list rapidly, murmuring Yun Sheng’s name under his breath. He had already found out that Yanyun was just a pseudonym for Yun Sheng, whose real identity was a descendant of the Great Zhou Yun Mansion. Divine Wind wanted to see Yun Sheng’s name, but at the same time, he feared finding it; once someone is locked in Ice Waterfall City, rescuing them is no easy task. "Yun Sheng, from Da Zhou People, incarcerated in the female Ice Prison for attempting to steal Life Water." Divine Wind paused, having spotted Yun Sheng’s name. A few lines above Yun Sheng’s name, there was another name; however, Divine Wind did not pay attention to it. "Little Ai came to Xianju Country in search of Life Water?" Divine Wind wanted to head to Ice Waterfall City immediately, but he still had reservations. Ice Waterfall City holds a special status in Xianju Country; inmates there, unless there is a significant occasion like the Queen’s coronation or a centennial birthday, would not be pardoned. On regular days, it’s impossible for prisoners from Ice Waterfall City to be released. Even as the Divine Wind King, second only to one in Xianju Country, he could not break this rule. Divine Wind pondered deeply. "In a few days, it will be Mother Empress’s 497th birthday; maybe I could take that chance to sneak into Ice Waterfall City," on the Elf Queen’s birthday, the nation celebrates, and elves traditionally fast and bathe on that day. The guards of Ice Waterfall City will do the same. If Divine Wind were to infiltrate Ice Waterfall City during that time and release a female prisoner, it likely wouldn’t attract much attention. Divine Wind decided on the day of the Queen’s birthday celebration, after presenting his birthday respects, to secretly bring a bottle of Life Water with him to find Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng wasn’t too troubled by the disappearance of the Charming Spirit Butterfly, because her Magic Wand had been confiscated anyway. With the Thousand-Year-Old Ice Zither, Yun Sheng’s days in the Ice Prison have become somewhat easier; at least she no longer feels every day as years. The Emperor’s Song, truly an Ancient Battle Song, has a significantly noticeable effect. The Magic Soul of Yun Sheng, restrained by the elves, was gradually recovering, although it hadn’t returned to its pre-confinement state, it was around fifty to sixty percent of its usual Magic Power. She also gradually resumed her meditation, but disappointing Yun Sheng, every time she attempted to establish contact with Ye Huli, her thoughts would be interrupted, seemingly by a mysterious force within the elves’ domain preventing her from contacting the outside world. Yun Sheng kept on meditating under the influence of the Emperor’s Song, waiting for her chance to break out of prison. That day, as usual, Yun Sheng collected her food and water in advance. "Today’s food and water seem a little different," like always, Yun Sheng picked up two portions of water and food, and she immediately noticed something unusual about today’s food and water.
