Chapter 463: Her Mother Has 2 Immortal Realms

Chapter 463: Chapter 463: Her Mother Has 2 Immortal Realms

Shen Ningning was getting anxious. As she hurried toward the Princess Mansion, she questioned her guards.

"I gave you specific orders to watch him closely. Why did you still let him escape?"

A guard hastily explained, "The moment he woke up, he started yelling about a headache. Then, he began convulsing as if he were possessed. We were afraid he was going to die, so we rushed to find a doctor and intended to report to you, Princess."

But they hadn’t expected that Master Gu would take advantage of the chaos he’d created to escape from the Princess Mansion.

Halfway there, Shen Ningning suddenly raised her small hand, signaling them to stop.

Her dark eyes were crystal clear. "If he’s determined to hide, we’ll never find him. He brought ruin to the Wei Family, and even with their status, they couldn’t catch him. I’ll have to hit him with something big!"

With that, the little girl ordered the carriage to change course and head straight back to Xiangyun Village to pick up the Black Wolf King.

The huge wolf squeezed into the carriage with the little girl, obediently awaiting her instructions.

"Wolf Father, take a sniff. This is the guy who ran away. Help me find him." As Shen Ningning spoke, she had a guard bring over Master Gu’s clothes.

The Black Wolf King had a sensitive nose. Even before getting close, he caught a whiff of a smell.

"BLECH..." It made a gagging sound, just like a person, startling the guards.

Shen Ningning quickly gave a dry laugh and patted its ear. "This Master Gu has been a fugitive for a long time, so he’s probably a bit smelly. Just a quick sniff will do."

The Black Wolf King let out a quiet whine.

He was saying that if Shen Ningning hadn’t asked for his help, this kind of thankless job should have been given to Wolf Three.

The moment they arrived at the Princess Mansion, the Black Wolf King eagerly leaped from the carriage.

He moved along, sniffing the ground everywhere.

Shen Ningning had expected him to lead them out into the streets, but to her surprise, the Black Wolf King headed deeper into the Princess Mansion instead.

"Looks like that Master Gu didn’t actually escape?" ’He’s pretty clever, realizing that the most dangerous place is the safest place.’

The Black Wolf King tracked the scent all the way to the root cellar in the rear courtyard. It was adjacent to the back kitchen, a place the guards wouldn’t normally search, as only the kitchen maids and helpers went there.

Inside the root cellar, the Black Wolf King let out a sudden, cold howl, which was met with the sound of terrified trembling from within.

"Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me!"

Master Gu was indeed hiding in the root cellar!

Shen Ningning crossed her arms, her little face tilted upward. "Wolf Father, drag him out!"

As she finished speaking, the Black Wolf King bit down on Master Gu’s collar and dragged him right in front of everyone.

"Oof!" Before Shen Ningning, Master Gu was as frightened as a turtle flipped onto its back. His limbs were weak as he struggled for a moment before shakily getting to his feet.

The guards formed a tight circle around him. There was no escape for him today.

Master Gu’s face was filled with sorrow. "Kill me or cut me to pieces, do with me what you will."

Shen Ningning pressed her pink lips together. "I’m not going to kill you. But I do have to ask, why did you run? Could it be you have a guilty conscience?"

"I’ve been a con artist for a long time. I’ve made at least five, if not ten, enemies. How was I to know who you were?" Master Gu said, limp and listless.

Just then, he noticed the Black Wolf King next to them and remembered that this was the very wolf that had just dragged him out.

And in all of Cangyun Country, the person who could raise a wolf...

Master Gu shuddered. "You’re Princess Funing? Shen Ningning?!"

Shen Ningning ignored him and pulled out a silver medal engraved with the two words "Moon Landing."

"Tell me, where did you get this?"

Master Gu’s eyes immediately flickered. "I... I found it."

Shen Ningning knew he wouldn’t tell the truth.

The little girl deliberately put on a cold expression. "Wolf Father, eat him. There’s no use keeping him around anyway."

With that, she turned as if to leave, and the Black Wolf King let out a ferocious roar and lunged at him.

Master Gu let out a bloodcurdling scream, his sharp voice filled with the will to survive.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! It came from your mother, Shen Siyi—from Miss Shen!"

Shen Ningning snapped her head back around, and the Black Wolf King retreated at the exact same moment.

The little girl’s big, dark eyes shone with excitement.

"Really? You really do know my mother?"

"I..." Master Gu looked up and glanced around. He sighed, knowing he could no longer hide the truth. "This isn’t the place to talk. I ask that the Princess grant me an opportunity to report to you in private."

Shen Ningning had him taken to a side room.

She had the guards stand watch at the door, taking only the Black Wolf King inside with her.

With the Black Wolf King there to intimidate him, if Master Gu dared to harm her, he would instantly meet his end in the wolf’s jaws.

"Speak. What is really going on? Back when you were running your cons, did you swindle my mother too?" Shen Ningning sat in a chair, her arm resting on the armrest, exuding an air of nobility.

Master Gu hesitated. "How should I explain this to you, Princess... I didn’t swindle Miss Shen. Rather... I was one of her subordinates. We were working toward the same goal. I’m not sure if you can understand this explanation, Princess?"

It was indeed a bit confusing.

Shen Ningning furrowed her slender brows, thinking for a long moment.

She suddenly said, "The same goal? Are you, by any chance, referring to the ’Moon Landing Project’?"

Master Gu’s expression was one of utter shock. "How could you possibly know about that, Princess?!"

Shen Ningning pressed her lips together. "In the diary my mother left behind, she mentioned that she came to this place because of the Moon Landing Project."

But the little girl didn’t understand what this project specifically entailed.

’It couldn’t really mean flying to the moon, could it?’

’Was her mother really an immortal?’

Master Gu’s eyes grew moist. He composed himself and said, "Since it’s come to this, I will tell the Princess the whole truth, from beginning to end."

He said that he and Shen Siyi had been on the same spaceship. They came from a post-apocalyptic world 10,000 years in the future.

Because the resources of the future had been all but squandered, they used the most advanced equipment to build a spaceship to go to the Moon and establish a new city.

Shen Siyi, a female general at the time, was selected as the captain by an organization called the United Nations.

Her ship carried about three hundred people. To solve the food problem, the people of the future used technology to create a personal function called a "storage space" to ensure they could survive on the Moon.

In addition, they also considered the possibility that if there were unknown life forms inside the Moon, they would need weapons to protect themselves.

Therefore, when Shen Siyi came, she carried two types of storage spaces. One held supplies, and the other controlled various kinds of natural disasters.

If they encountered special circumstances, they would use natural disasters to wipe the planet clean and establish their own brand-new world.

"Unfortunately..." Master Gu’s eyes dimmed. "While we were in transit, we suddenly encountered turbulence from an unknown magnetic field. The entire spaceship passed through a blinding white light, and when I woke up again, I had been thrown into the deep mountains of this era. I eventually found Miss Shen and reunited with her here. But alas, other than the two of us, the rest of the people on the ship all perished in that white light."

Shen Ningning was utterly stunned after hearing this.

Her little mind was stuffed with things she couldn’t yet comprehend.

But she had figured out one thing.

Her mother had two Immortal Realms!

The one with the supplies was given to her, but there was another one that could control natural disasters. Could it be... that it had fallen into someone else’s hands?!

In that case, the frequent disasters in Cangyun Country weren’t a coincidence, but deliberately caused by someone!

Shen Ningning immediately thought of one person.

Princess Consort Qi.
