The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Over the next few days, the Baili family doted on Fu Yunxi in every way. The elders gave her gifts one after another, and the younger generations accompanied her to tour the entire island, eating, drinking and having fun.

Mu Aiguo and others were also guests of honor, enjoying the most generous treatment here, and some even reluctant to leave.

“Xi’er, grandpa thinks it’s time to introduce you to the people of Southern Xinjiang. In every generation, a worship ceremony is held when the saint reaches the age of 15 to let everyone know that the saint has arrived and Southern Xinjiang will enter a new era.” Lord Zuo looked at Fu Yunxi, who was smiling happily, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Grandfather, I think the worship ceremony is too much trouble, so I'd rather not hold it! I'm already sixteen years old, and I've missed the best time to hold the ceremony."

Fu Yunxi doesn't care about these titles. In her opinion, if she can shoulder the responsibility of a saint and lead everyone to live a good life, it will be far more practical than holding a worship ceremony.

"Age is not important, as long as it's you, it doesn't matter when the ceremony is held."

Fu Yunxi's uncle Baili Qingkong interrupted and said that he loved Fu Yunxi very much. In the past, his sister was their group's favorite, and now his sister's child is also their group's favorite. They want to give her the most honorable status and the best treasures.

"Grandfather, uncle, there is no need to prepare for the ceremony. We will soon set off for the mangrove forest! In the past few days, I have sorted out everything I can think of that will be helpful to the people of Southern Xinjiang. With these, everyone will be able to live a better life, and the ceremony will not be so important."

Fu Yunxi was not just having fun. While touring the island, she was also paying attention to the local customs and practices. She planned to leave some grain seeds suitable for the local geology. These seeds came from space, so their yield and quality must be excellent. There were also fish fry. This lake was very suitable for breeding, so she planned to leave more fish fry. Life-saving equipment and fishing boats were also essential, and she had already drawn the design drawings.

The environment here is special and there are many rare medicinal materials. She sorted out a lot of prescriptions and various things that are beneficial to people's livelihood. She asked Mu Yibai to write them down on paper for her and planned to keep them here.

"Xier, you've only been here for a few days, and you're leaving?" Baili Qingkong and others were deeply moved. It turned out that when they wanted to make amends to Fu Yunxi, she always had the people in her heart. How could this not touch them?

"We went to the mangrove forest to rescue people. My father and eldest brother still need to recover, so I would like to ask my grandfather and uncles to take care of them for a few days. We will come back after we rescue them."

Fu Yunxi experienced unprecedented pleasure here, but she could not ignore the Mu family's thoughts just for her own happiness.

At this moment, the Mu family must be anxiously waiting for them to return. Even if they return one day earlier, they can be reunited one day earlier.

"Don't worry about that. We will take good care of you if you stay here. Just rest assured that we will not be negligent. However, this mangrove forest is not an ordinary mountain. It is mysterious and dangerous. Who are you going to save this time?"

Baili Qingkong agreed to Fu Yunxi's request without hesitation. His eyes were full of determination and responsibility. However, behind that determination, he was deeply worried about Fu Yunxi, fearing that she would encounter unpredictable dangers when going to the mangroves.

Fu Yunxi looked determined and said solemnly, "They are Yibai's secret guards, a total of ten people. They came to southern Xinjiang to look for my father and elder brother, but there has been no news since then, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. We carefully considered and guessed that the people of the Sikong family were related to their disappearance."

"Also, I heard that those captured by the Sikong family would be sent to the mangroves to work as coolies, with their lives uncertain! Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we plan to try our luck. Uncle, don't worry about it."

Baili Qingkong nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "This mangrove forest was created by Sikong Xingyao in the past. It is full of slaves who worked for him. I believe your grandfather and I know a thing or two about this. You can ask us about it."

He paused, then continued, "According to what you said, it is indeed possible that he was sent there, but the mangrove forest may seem like a beautiful paradise, but in fact it is a gathering place for poisonous insects, and it is gloomy and terrifying."

"Sikong Liyao is raising Gu in that dark cave. The danger is beyond imagination. When you set out, your uncle will carefully prepare sufficient medicine for you to help you avoid the harm of Gu in that dangerous place."

The Baili family's art of making Gu has always been superb and highly respected. However, they make Gu in order to cure diseases and save lives. With a kind heart, they use Gu to save people. They are not like Sikong Xingyao, who has evil intentions and refines vicious and cruel poisonous Gu, which takes people's lives at will and brings disaster to the world.

Fu Yunxi's face lit up with a grateful smile: "That's great. Xi'er thanks uncle in advance. With your help, we will be more secure. Everyone doesn't need to worry. We will definitely put safety first and act cautiously."

She knew that the journey would be difficult, but with the support and help of her family, she felt more confident.

Fu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that coming here first was indeed a wise move. With these self-defense medicines, they would not need to be overly afraid when facing the poisonous insects.

……

The next morning, when it was just light, Fu Yunxi and the other six people packed up and prepared to set off with the medicine carefully prepared by Baili Qingkong.

The morning light shone on them, casting a shadow of their determination.

This place is closer to the mangroves than where Sikong Boyu is. If everything goes well and there are no accidents, we will be able to return in three to five days.

Zuo Jiangzhu said with concern: "Xi'er, let your uncle take you there! By the way, I'll tell you in detail how to deal with the poisonous insects. The danger of the poisonous insects should not be underestimated!"

His brows were furrowed, worried about Fu Yunxi's safety.

After all, she had grown up in the Great Zhao Kingdom and had never dealt with poisonous insects. How could he not be worried about her rash trip to the mangroves? He was worried and distressed. This child had always been the most sensible and well-behaved. Last night, she had given him many things that could benefit the people, most of which were new and wonderful things and ideas that he had never heard of or seen before.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Fu Yunxi make any mistakes in this adventure.

Fu Yunxi comforted him, "Grandfather, don't worry. Uncle has told me many times last night, and explained every aspect in great detail. I have memorized it by heart and dare not forget a single word. Besides, Yibai knows Qinggong and is not bad in Kung Fu, so it will be very convenient for us to travel, so there is no need for Uncle to see us off!"

At this moment, Fu Yunxi was filled with emotion! Meeting is not easy, and parting is even harder. She had never expected that her state of mind would change so drastically in just a few days.

In this world, she was lucky enough to find her blood relatives. She was no longer lonely and adrift. Here she had a warm family and people who were eagerly waiting for her.

Zuo Jiangzhu insisted, "Be obedient, your uncle can lead you out faster. I have set up a gate protection array here, and ordinary people cannot enter at all. This array is mysterious and complicated. I didn't expect you to come in safely. You are quite capable. Let your uncle tell you the key to the array, so that you can return more conveniently and with fewer twists and turns in the future."

Fu Yunxi looked at her grandfather's eyes full of care and expectation, and nodded without refusing.
