Chapter 2538: Chapter 2539: Princess Xiu Awakens

However, Ye Luo hesitated a bit, unsure of what to say to her.

After all, the two were supposed to be quite unfamiliar with each other.

"Ye Luo, thank you!"

Princess Xiu said gently, as she slowly emerged from the ice coffin. Despite her still weak body making it hard to stand, the Ice Princess quickly moved to support her.

Yet, the way she looked at Ye Luo, and her tone, was like they were old friends.

Moreover, she addressed him by name instead of calling him "young master" as the Ice Princess and the others did, which instinctively made Ye Luo feel closer to her.

However, Ye Luo did not lower his guard, knowing nothing about Princess Xiu. Who knew if she was like Shui Yuehan, as there could be extremes between the two sisters.

"It’s good that the princess is awake, there’s no need to thank me!" Ye Luo quickly replied.

Princess Xiu immediately smiled, "There’s no need to call me princess anymore. You can call me Xiu’er, or my sister Bing’er. We won’t call you young master anymore; let’s forego these mundane courtesies!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo smiled and nodded, finding it quite to his liking.

After all, always being addressed as young master left him a bit resigned, as coming from Earth, it always made him feel like he was back in ancient times.

"Young master saved my sister many times, and although I was unable to wake up at the time, I clearly sensed it all. At the time, all I could do was worry!" Princess Xiu continued with a smile.

These words surprised Ye Luo; she remembered everything that happened! Then, when Ye Luo was holding her, she probably sensed it too...

Perhaps Princess Xiu was thinking the same as Ye Luo, as her face blushed faintly.

"Oh no, sister, you knew everything? You really made us worry! You practiced such a cultivation technique without even telling me beforehand!" The Ice Princess pouted.

Originally, she and Princess Xiu were like mother and daughter, and now she started to act coyly.

"I didn’t tell you because my misfortune happened too suddenly, which triggered this cultivation technique. It’s extremely special, only activated in moments of life and death danger. So before the misfortune, I didn’t know it would reach mastery!" Princess Xiu lovingly looked at the Ice Princess.

Upon hearing this, the Ice Princess sweetly smiled and hugged Princess Xiu’s arm.

But Ye Luo sensed that Princess Xiu’s aura was rapidly enhancing; previously, when he saw her, she was merely sitting in the ice coffin, but shortly after, she had the strength to stand, and now her realm had risen considerably.

It seems the benefits from this cultivation technique are gradually emerging.

"Now the four-day time limit is almost up. Once we go out, we’ll face a fierce battle. By then, the totem power will be the hardest to deal with, which is a real challenge!" Princess Xiu said with a frown.

Apparently, she clearly understood the situation outside.

"Leave the totem to me!" Ye Luo suddenly said.

"Hm?"

The girls looked at him quizzically.

"The totems are not a joke, even if the three ancestors of the Moonwater Tribe combined, they wouldn’t be as powerful as the totem power!" The Ice Princess said worriedly.

"Indeed, we still need to strategize carefully!" Princess Xiu agreed.

Ye Luo shook his head, "Don’t worry, I won’t go to my death!"

Seeing Ye Luo’s confidence and his unwillingness to elaborate, the three girls refrained from asking further.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Hall.

Third Master and seven other experts were already gathered at the entrance of the Heart Cultivation Hall.

"Time is up, I wonder how their injuries are now!" one of the experts remarked.

"No matter how, disaster is imminent this time; it’s up to each person’s fate!" Third Master sighed.

A soft sound echoed as the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall opened, instantly causing the seven experts to tense up.

"How can this be? It’s Princess Xiu!"

With a gasp of surprise, the seven experts collectively froze in astonishment.

naturally, the first to walk out was Princess Xiu, followed by Ye Luo and the others.

"Greetings Princess Xiu, Greetings Ice Princess!"

Upon realizing it, the seven experts immediately paid their respects, their faces unable to hide their excitement.

Though both were princesses, Princess Xiu’s prestige was undoubtedly far higher than the Ice Princess’s.

Not only on Qingxiu Peak, but even within the Moonwater Tribe, it was so!

After all, she was the successor to the future Clan Leader of the Moonwater Tribe.

"Third Master, what are you doing? I’ve told you this before, let’s forego these courtesies. You’ve all watched us sisters grow up, so you’re naturally our seniors. If anyone should be paying respects, it should be us to you!"

Princess Xiu’s words truly warmed the hearts of the seven experts, and Ye Luo also secretly admired her. Princess Xiu was truly adept at understanding people.

"Princess Xiu, it’s great that you are unharmed, but currently, there are some issues within the Moonwater Tribe!" Third Master appeared hesitant, assuming Princess Xiu didn’t know everything that had happened.

"Third Master, I’m already aware of this. I’ll meet the Vice Clan Leader and make plans without delay!"

Subsequently, Princess Xiu exchanged a few pleasantries with the seven experts before leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall area, heading toward the main hall ahead.

At this time, the frequency of vibrations on Qingxiu Peak increased, evidently indicating the formation was on the verge of collapsing under the totem power.

Moreover, most of the cultivation resources on Qingxiu Peak had been consumed to fuel the Great Array.

Otherwise, the Great Array would have already collapsed.

"Princess Xiu! Am I seeing things?"

"No mistake, it’s Princess Xiu, she’s awake!

"That’s wonderful, with Princess Xiu awake, Qingxiu Peak is saved!"

Upon seeing Princess Xiu, the protectors exclaimed, their faces filled with immense excitement.

"Xiu’er, that’s great, you’re awake!" The Vice Clan Leader walked over, showing a relieved smile.

"Uncle Wu!" Princess Xiu sweetly called out, then softly bowed.

Afterward, Uncle Wu welcomed the group into the house. During such an urgent time, everyone naturally had no mind for small talk and immediately began formulating a plan.

"While this Great Array can still hold on for a while, I want to meet the three ancestors of the Moonwater Tribe!" Princess Xiu said.

"That’s not advisable, Xiu’er, you should know they have a purpose in appointing you as Clan Leader. Now that you’re awake, they’ll certainly not let you leave the Moonwater Tribe. Those three old men have grand schemes!" The Vice Clan Leader directly refused.

Princess Xiu, however, responded with a sneer, "I understand that point well, but they cannot act recklessly!"
