A tall figure emerged from the snowy landscape, gradually becoming clearer in the vast expanse of white.

In the snowy world, a handsome and mature face came into view.

He extended his arms toward Gu Qingluan and wore a joyful smile. “Qingluan, it’s been so many years since I’ve seen you. Come, let your Dad have a good look.”

“Dad!”

Ever since Gu Qingluan had crossed over to the Cloud Plains Continent and faced her untimely demise, she hadn’t seen her father, Jun Longyuan.

Seeing him suddenly filled her with overwhelming excitement, even though she knew this was an illusion.

“Come here quickly! What are you standing there for, silly?”

Even though Gu Qingluan knew it was an illusion, she couldn’t refuse the other party.

Back on the Heavenly Realm Continent, she relied on her father’s love and protection. Although he was strict with subordinates and outsiders, he had always been kind and gentle towards her. She could say that he spoiled her endlessly.

When Gu Qingluan was attacked and found herself in this unfamiliar land, her biggest worry had been her father’s safety.

She wasn’t concerned about losing her position as the young mistress of the Infinite Palace to Feng Qingwu. She knew she would reclaim it one day.

What she feared most was Feng Qingwu harming her father.

She didn’t know how long it would take for her to return to the Heavenly Realm Continent and exact her revenge.

It had been five long years since she had seen her father.

Was her father doing well?

Gu Qingluan couldn’t resist approaching him, even though she knew this was an illusion.

“Jun Longyuan” gazed at her with the same affectionate eyes as in her memories.

The distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

“Daughter, you’ve become thinner.” “Jun Longyuan” displayed a hint of tenderness in his eyes and reached out to embrace Gu Qingluan.

She dodged his embrace and chuckled. “I’m no longer a little girl. We should maintain some distance.”

“In your father’s eyes, you will forever be a little girl! Are you shy in front of your father now?” “Jun Longyuan” scolded her with a playful glare.

Gu Qingluan neither confirmed nor denied, changing the subject instead. “Dad, why are you here? Where is this place?”

“Silly girl, this is the Heavenly Realm Continent. Have you forgotten?”

“The Heavenly Realm Continent?” Gu Qingluan’s mind suddenly went blank, and her eyes showed signs of confusion. “I’m not… not…”

“Not what?”

Gu Qingluan furrowed her brow and felt as if her memories were blocked, preventing her from recalling many things.

“Are you having another headache? Sigh, ever since 1 rescued you from that dark room last time, you’ve developed this problem. Stop overthinking things; it only gives you headaches,” “Jun Longyuan” said with helplessness.

Gu Qingluan had a vague sense that something was amiss. She looked at him, her brow still furrowed. “Dark room?”

“You have forgotten again? It’s the room where Feng Qingwu kept you locked up. You were on the brink of self-destruction, and 1 arrived just in time to save you. It doesn’t matter even if you had forgotten. It’s not important. It’s cold outside; let’s return to the palace.”

Each time she exerted herself to think, a headache would indeed occur. Gu Qingluan heeded his advice and followed him as they flew back to the Infinite Palace.

The Infinite Palace was situated in the northern realm, surrounded by a world of ice and snow, yet inside the palace, it was as warm as spring.

Every detail inside the palace was exactly as she remembered, even the dragon carving on the eaves, which had lost one of its horns, remained unchanged.

“This time, don’t wander around recklessly. Feng Qingwu has taken your Hongmeng Qi, and her cultivation has greatly increased. She could come to harm you at any time. It’s dangerous outside, and if you leave the palace, I won’t be able to save you in time.””

Jun Longyuan” cautioned her.

“My Hongmeng Qi is gone?”

Gu Qingluan raised her hand and attempted to summon her Hongmeng Qi, but it failed to appear.

A smirk reminiscent of Feng Qingwu’s self-satisfied smile crossed her mind, and her gaze darkened. “She took it, but I’ll take it back!”

“You’re not her match right now. Please don’t act recklessly, do you understand?” “Jun Longyuan” became stern in his tone.

Gu Qingluan nodded. “1’11 be cautious.”

“That’s good.” “Jun Longyuan” smiled again and patted her shoulder. “Now, go back to your palace and freshen up. There’s a banquet tonight that you need to attend.”

“What banquet?”

“You’ve forgotten about that too?”

Gu Qingluan hesitated.

“Sigh, it’s not just the past you’ve forgotten, but recent events as well. It seems we need to have someone take a look at you.”

Following “Jun Longyuan’s” advice, she returned to her palace to rest. Later in the evening, a maid came to escort her to the banquet..
