Chapter 1332: Chapter 977: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 38 (four thousand)_3
Murong Xue looked expectant: "Is it news from Uncle?"
"It’s news from Xiran Island. The Empress Mother has passed through the danger, and in a few days, she will wake up. We’re being asked to return to the island quickly."
"Oh my god, this, this is such great news! So what are we waiting for? Let’s pack up and leave!"
"My dear, why do you act impulsively? Even if we’re anxious, we must wait until I settle things. We can depart together then. Do you think you can just leave like a regular person now? You’re a princess, a Royal Princess."
Thus, after receiving the news, the siblings made preparations for two or three days before heading to Xiran Island. Shui Yixuan did not go this time; he stayed behind to oversee the Bai Family’s aftermath work, so they temporarily parted ways.
Switching from land route to water route, it took about seven or eight days before they finally reached the island. This time entering the island went smoothly, almost without any obstacles. Any arrays were no longer present, as the island’s people gave them special treatment.
However, upon entering the island, Murong Xue noticed something strange: the island seemed to have more people than usual, people were much more meticulous, and everyone was very happy?
Could it be because their princess had awoken?
Thinking of this possibility, Murong Xue couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart and excitedly charged forward, but without inner strength, she ran fast but was quickly caught up by Murong Han.
"Slow down, you’ve waited twelve years, can we wait a little longer? You were just throwing up all over the ship; you should rest a bit?"
While Murong Han was chattering away holding Murong Xue, familiar figures from not far were walking closer. Dressed uniformly in white, they were elegant and flamboyant.
Huh? Isn’t that Uncle and them? Who’s the young man beside him? From his age, he doesn’t seem to be Mother’s childhood sweetheart, Feng Xibai.
Wait, could this person be the legendary cousin?
As she pondered, the group came closer, and Aunt Mu Xiaoqiong saw Murong Xue and warmly embraced her.
"Oh darling, you’re finally back! Come quickly, let Aunt take a look — have you lost any weight lately?"
Murong Xue smiled shyly: "Aunt, I’ve been eating well, sleeping well, and not working much, so I’ve gained a few pounds!"
"Hmph, really biased! When I returned, I didn’t see you being this concerned about me!"
At this moment, a captivating voice like spring water patting pebbles sounded, which made Murong Xue curiously look towards the source.
From behind Mu Xiaoqiong, walked out an eighteen to nineteen-year-old young girl, immensely beautiful, with brows somewhat resembling Murong Xue’s. Instantly, Murong Xue guessed her identity: "Wow, is that cousin? You’re so pretty, absolutely stunning!"
Xi Yan looked at Murong Xue warmly holding her hand and couldn’t help but pout.
"You’re not bad either, though your timing was a bit slow. We received the news the same day, yet you arrived four or five days later, making everyone quite anxious, thinking we’d see you immediately!"
Seeing his daughter less enthusiastic, Xi Yang quickly addressed Murong Xue and Murong Han, "Xiao Han, Xiao Xue, let Uncle introduce you, this is your cousin, Xi Yan!" Then he looked down and said gently to the white-clothed girl in his arms, "Xi Yan, Xiao Xue is your cousin sister, and Xiao Han is your cousin brother, get to know each other!"
Murong Han saw his sister somewhat confused for a moment and apologized to Xi Yan with a smile.
"Greetings cousin Xi Yan, sorry for the wait. Mainly, Xue’er is just an ordinary person physically, without the martial training and inner strength from childhood, and she’s a bit seasick, thus slower on foot."
Worried his sister might be misunderstood, Murong Han specially explained, making Xi Yang and Mu Xiaoqiong a bit embarrassed. They hurriedly said.
"Xiao Han, don’t misunderstand, your cousin just got impatient wanting to meet you all sooner, waiting felt a bit long, but she truly meant no harm; she wants to see you more than anyone else!"
"Oh Dad~ Mom~, why are you explaining? Do they even think I don’t like them?"
Xi Yan’s expression was somewhat aggrieved as she walked towards Murong Xue, flaunting her radiant face and pouted: "You’re overly sensitive, aren’t you?"
Murong Xue couldn’t help but laugh seeing her gorgeous cousin’s scrunched-up pretty face and replied with a smile.
"Look at what cousin says, why wouldn’t I like you all? Cousin is straightforward, and I am too. I’ve heard Aunt and Uncle mentioned you many times, but never had the chance to meet. Seeing you today did surprise me; you and your mom standing together look just like sisters!"
