Chapter 887: Chapter 331: Princess’s Jealous Rage! Ling Ningzhi: Yu Hongyin, How Dare You Steal My Man?!

?

Yu Hongyin looked at the man in her arms, who was weak and lifeless, and felt momentarily dazed.

The surrounding people were shouting "Immortal Master Chen," rushing towards them, each face radiant with fervor.

It was Qiao Tong who first reacted, tugging at her sleeve and whispering, "Holy Daughter, it’s too chaotic here. We should leave with Mr. Chen."

"Okay."

Yu Hongyin snapped back to reality, pinching a spell in her hand, as Yin Yang Qi spread out, obscuring their view.

When the crowd arrived nearby, they discovered that the three figures had already disappeared.

"Rescue the suffering Immortal Master Chen..."

"Merciful heart, saving the people of the world; Mr. Chen is the true hero!"

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my child’s life. I cannot repay such great kindness. Boo hoo hoo..."

They knelt on the damp soil, tears streaming down their faces.

After enduring this devastating disaster, they finally saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

...

...

Afternoon.

At the South City Gate, Chu Yanli arrived swiftly in a simple long dress.

The Lu Shuangge and a group of court guards followed behind, each carrying wooden boxes filled with alchemy pills, rice, and brand-new quilts and clothes.

The situation in the capital was temporarily stable, but due to the shortage of medicine, the death toll continued to rise.

Upon learning this, Chu Yanli first went to the Pharmacy Bureau to gather all medicines for treating external injuries and blood infections, then swept through major pharmacies in town, buying everything useful, no matter the amount.

The urgent task was to help the afflicted people overcome the crisis.

This matter started because of the Imperial Family, and as the Princess of Great Yuan, she couldn’t stand aside.

At this moment, Chu Yanli sensed something.

Turning her head, she saw a woman in a moon-white Daoist robe, her face masked by clouds, gracefully descending from the sky.

The wide Daoist robe couldn’t hide her graceful figure, and although clouds veiled her face, Chu Yanli’s eyes weren’t fooled; her beauty was unparalleled, as cold and transcendental as the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Even as a woman, she couldn’t help but be dazzled.

In terms of beauty, few in the world could rival her!

"Who might you be...?"

Ling Ningzhi, though not recognizing Chu Yanli, could feel the strong pressure, and with the group of brightly armored Royal Guards, her status was apparent.

"Qingxuan, disciple of Tianshu Pavilion, greets Princess Xuanhuang." Ling Ningzhi bowed with palms pressed together in a Daoist salute.

Chu Yanli nodded slightly, "So, it’s Chief Ling. How is your grandfather’s health improving?"

Ling Ningzhi’s eyes dimmed a bit, softly saying, "Thank Your Highness for your concern; it’s stabilized for now."

"That’s good."

Chu Yanli nodded.

Though she was very averse to sects, particularly the Three Saint Sect, the Ling family’s situation was unique.

Ling Yishan, one of the eminent figures in Jiu Zhou, served the court during the previous emperor’s reign, and later, amidst the Chaotic World, demons rampaged. He was appointed at a critical moment as Commander of the Demon Suppression Department, defending the capital, and was a meritorious minister of the Earth God.

As the only remaining descendant of the Ling family, Ling Ningzhi naturally deserves some respect.

"Chief Ling, why aren’t you at the Demon Suppression Department and instead are here in the southern suburbs?" Chu Yanli curiously asked.

Ling Ningzhi waved her hand, and dozens of alchemy pill bottles floated in the air. She explained, "The Demon Suppression Department was also attacked, leaving few stored alchemy pills. Upon hearing of the severe situation here, the Alchemy Department rushed to prepare a batch of antiseptic medicine and Jade Truth Powder, especially for me to bring over."

When Ling Yishan and Hui Neng clashed, many buildings were destroyed, including the Alchemy Department’s warehouse, hence they couldn’t support the disaster victims immediately.

"Oh? You also brought Jade Truth Powder?" Chu Yanli’s eyes lit up at the mention; it’s a rare spiritual medicine for blood infections, delighted, she said, "You have indeed been considerate, this solves an urgent crisis, greatly lowering the death rate..."

Thud thud thud— 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Urgent footsteps sounded as a group hurriedly approached.

Leading them was a tall middle-aged man, hair disheveled, sleeves rolled up, with bloodstains on his green official robe.

He knelt before Chu Yanli, saluting, loudly saying, "Deputy Governor of Jingzhao, Liang Yonghuai, greets Your Highness, the Princess. I was unaware of Your Highness’s arrival and failed to welcome you from afar; I beg your pardon."

Behind him, a group of government officers knelt, "Greetings to Princess."

"Rise," said Chu Yanli.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The crowd rose one after another.

Chu Yanli looked at Liang Yonghuai and asked, "Are you in charge here?"

Liang Yonghuai cupped his hands, saying, "By order of the Eastern Royal Palace, I was temporarily assigned as Provincial Governor to arrange the aid and settlement for the affected people."

"Good, here are some alchemy pills and supplies. Arrange for their quick distribution, treat all the wounded, and ensure the death count is minimized," Chu Yanli instructed.

"Well..."

Liang Yonghuai hesitated for a moment, said, "Thank you for your assistance, Your Highness, but it’s likely unnecessary now."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Chu Yanli frowned, "What do you mean unnecessary? Could it be that everyone has already died?!"

"That’s not the case," Liang Yonghuai quickly waved his hand, "I don’t quite know how to explain, Your Highness will understand upon seeing it for yourself."

Chu Yanli grew even more curious.

"Lead the way," she said.

"This way, Your Highness,"

Liang Yonghuai bent forward and led them towards the camp.

Ling Ningzhi hesitated for a moment, then followed along.

Arriving at the medical tent, the scene made everyone stunned.

Instead of the imagined horrors of a mountain of corpses and piles of dead bodies, people gathered in groups chatting, children chased and played nearby, bursts of laughter echoing, an air of joy enveloping the camp.
