Isn't this my Lovely Empress?

Hua Xunzi was really not coming back.

As no one had seen her leaving the Dark Phantom Citadel, Ji Yuan guessed that she must have used the golden talisman that he had given her to leave this trial.

He was saddened by her loss and had only Zhi Jiugong to comfort him for the next few days.

He was actually expecting for Bai Qianfeng to finish her 'seclusion' by now and weirdly she had not. And Miya and Misa had specially instructions not to allow anyone to disturb her. What was more, Bai Qianfeng had put her two seventh rank desolate beasts with Miya and Misa as well. 

As Ji Yuan disliked these two desolate beasts and vice versa, he did not try to barge in to check. 

But he knew that Bai Qianfeng was really in seclusion because she was linked to these two desolate beasts as her spirit pets. If she was safe then her spirit pets would also be alive.
