Holding a child-bearing system, seducing all the handsome male cultivators in the wilderness

Ten days later, Yan Yuhe and others returned after sealing the Abyss Prison.

As soon as he stepped into Yulan Palace, he saw Zhu Lian and other palace maids and attendants kneeling in the courtyard in an orderly manner, all of them with their heads lowered and solemn expressions.

Yan Yuhe frowned slightly, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. He walked quickly towards the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Why are you all kneeling here?"

Zhu Lian raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Chief, I failed to live up to your trust and did not take good care of Miss Li. She..."

When Li Wanji was mentioned, Yan Yuhe's heart sank suddenly, as if hit by a heavy object. He grabbed Zhu Lian's shoulders and said in a trembling voice: "Zhu Lian, tell me clearly, what happened to Miss Li?"

Zhu Lian bit her lip tightly, trying to hold back her tears, her voice choking a bit as she said, "Chief, Miss Li...she's missing."

"Missing?" Yan Yuhe's voice rose a few degrees, and a strong anger and worry surged in his heart, "With so many of you, how could she disappear? Didn't I ask you to take good care of her?"

Yan Yuhe's anger echoed in the courtyard of Yulan Palace. His eyes were like knives, sweeping across every palace maid and attendant kneeling on the ground. They trembled in fear, not daring to look up and look directly into his angry eyes.

Zhu Lian knew that she had a heavy responsibility. She suppressed her fear and explained in a trembling voice, "Patriarch, we will not slack off in the slightest in what you ordered. Since you left, we have been doing our best to take care of Miss Li."

"But five days ago, when Cai Bei went to the bedroom to deliver breakfast to Miss Li, she found that she was no longer in the bedroom."

"At first, we thought she might have just gone for a walk in the garden or gone somewhere else, but we searched the entire palace and found no trace of her..."

Zhu Lian's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became an almost inaudible sob.

Yan Yuhe's face was terribly gloomy. He let go of the hand that was holding Zhu Lian's shoulders, put it behind his back, and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

His heart was in a mess. Li Wanji was still pregnant with his child, and now she suddenly disappeared. How could he not be worried and angry?

He stopped, stared at Zhu Lian with a sharp gaze, and asked in a deep voice: "Five days ago? Why did you tell me now?"

Zhu Lian's body trembled: "Chief, you sealed the Nether Prison, which is a major event for the clan. We dare not disturb you with such a small matter. Moreover, we thought that Miss Li was only out temporarily and would be back soon, so..."

"So you just acted on your own and concealed the truth?" Yan Yuhe's voice was as cold as ice, interrupting Zhu Lian's words.

He was furious. These maids and attendants seemed to be well-behaved and obedient at ordinary times, but they were so useless at the critical moment. Not only did they fail to take good care of Li Wanji, but they also tried to conceal the matter. It was simply unreasonable!

"Clan leader, I know my crime. Please punish me." Zhu Lian kowtowed and apologized, and the other palace maids and attendants followed suit.

Yan Yuhe took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that punishing them would be useless at this moment, and the most urgent task was to find Li Wanji as soon as possible.

He said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's put this aside for now. Mobilize all your manpower immediately and search for Miss Li's whereabouts. She is pregnant, if anything happens, you will all be blamed!"

Zhu Lian and others were still kneeling on the ground, looking hesitant.

Seeing this, Yan Yuhe frowned and said in a colder voice, "Why, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhu Lian raised her head tremblingly and said carefully: "Everything is normal in the palace. Miss Li's clothes and belongings are still there, but there is a letter left on the desk."

"A letter?" A trace of doubt flashed across Yan Yuhe's eyes, and then he said sternly, "Show it to me!"

Zhu Lian did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took out the letters from her bosom and presented them with both hands.

Yan Yuhe took the letter and opened it quickly. He saw the beautiful handwriting in the letter, which was exactly Li Wanji's handwriting. The content of the letter was brief, but it set off a storm in his heart.

The letter read: "Yu He, don't look for me. My existence has caused trouble for you and the master. Now the Biluo Sea is in trouble. I hope you two can put aside the past grudges and work together to protect our homeland!"

Yan Yuhe's hands were shaking. He couldn't believe that this letter was written by Li Wanji. Why did she leave? Why did she leave without saying goodbye?

On the day of separation, Li Wanji told him the news of her pregnancy so happily. She was looking forward to the arrival of the child and their future.

But now, she left behind such a letter and left quietly.

He held the letter tightly in his hand and said to Zhu Lian and others, "Get up and continue searching for Miss Li's whereabouts. Don't miss any clues."

Zhu Lian and others did not dare to slack off at all. They immediately stood up and retreated to carry out Yan Yuhe's orders.

On the other side, Canglanzi, who returned to Chaoyin Palace, also received the letter left by Li Wanji.

He unfolded the letter and carefully read the words left by Li Wanji, his brows furrowed and his expression complicated.

You are so good, Li Wanji. I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you ran away with our child.

Canglanzi sighed, folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. He stood up and looked out the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He understood that Li Wanji's departure must be due to the matter between him and Yan Yuhe. She didn't want to cause conflicts between the two because of him, and she didn't want to become an obstacle between them.

But she really underestimated the friendship between their brothers!

He and Yan Yuhe are the leaders of the mermaid tribe, and are responsible for protecting their people and their homes.

Although they would compete secretly for Li Wanji, they would never give up the interests of the entire ethnic group.

What's more, Li Wanji is by no means an obstacle between them, but someone they both cherish.

Canglanzi smiled bitterly in his heart. Li Wanji's action made these two grown men feel a little ashamed.

Canglanzi knew that he must find Li Wanji as soon as possible and bring her back to the palace.

She was now pregnant, with a bunch of children, and wandering in this troubled world. If anything went wrong with her, he would not be able to forgive himself.

He turned and walked out of Chaoyin Palace, gathered the people in the palace, and prepared to set out to look for Li Wanji.

At this time, a servant came hurriedly, knelt in front of Canglanzi, and said breathlessly: "Master Yuheng, the clan leader asks you to go to Jiaomeng Palace immediately to discuss important matters."

At this critical moment, Yan Yuhe suddenly summoned him to the Jiaomeng Palace to discuss important matters. Canglanzi couldn't help but feel a little confused. But he knew that this was not the time to ask questions and he had to go there immediately.

He nodded and said to the attendant, "Okay, I understand. Go and prepare the car immediately, I will be there soon."

The attendant took the order and left, while Canglanzi turned back to Chaoyin Palace, simply tidied up his appearance, and hurried to Jiaomeng Palace.

The Jiaomeng Palace is the main meeting hall of the Jiao people, where important matters of the tribe are usually discussed. Canglanzi knew that Yan Yuhe summoned him at this moment because there must be something important to discuss.

He walked through the corridor and came to the Jiaomeng Palace, only to see the door was open. Yan Yuhe and a group of elders were already waiting inside, all with solemn expressions.
