1940 Luo Lan’s Wish
It was a shame that neither of them was a healing-type spirit qi professional. Otherwise, they could have continued heading north.
The elderly man looked at Luo Lan’s ruined legs and gnashed his teeth as he said, “First Princess, your legs cannot continue to lose blood. Let me go and find a doctor to treat your injuries!”
The female attendant next to Luo Lan hurriedly said, “Lord Li Zhong, if you go out trying to find a doctor now, First Princess’ location will be exposed unless you manage to kill every person the doctor knows!”
Luo Lan sternly rebuked the female attendant, “Lan Ni, I am the First Princess of the Iron Hammer Federation. It is my duty to protect the citizens. How could I kill the innocent for selfish reasons?”
Lan Ni bit her lip and did not respond.
She felt that Luo Lan had given Luo Cai the opportunity to usurp the throne because she was too soft-hearted. She would not have been reduced to such a state if she was not so kind and ruled with an iron fist.
When the elderly man heard what Luo Lan said, he looked half sympathetic and half relieved.
If Luo Lan could truly become the ruler of the Iron Hammer Federation, all of the regular people living in small tribes would be blessed. She might even gain the acknowledgment of the snow beast.
“First Princess, once I find the doctor, I promise that I won’t kill any innocents because of you.”
Luo Lan nodded.
It was not long before the elderly man led a middle-aged woman in.
The middle-aged woman had fear written all over her face but acted swiftly and skillfully when she saw Luo Lan’s injured legs.
She summoned the Bronze/Epic Clean White Lotus.
The Clean White Lotus summoned water that not only stopped Luo Lan’s legs from bleeding but even caused new flesh to regrow.
Once she treated Luo Lan’s injuries, the elderly man led her away and said to Luo Lan, “I will stay here to stall for time. Given my power, I will be able to buy you at least 20 hours. As you head east, none of the regions in the Iron Hammer Federation will be for you.
“Do your best to head toward the border between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation until you reach the Divine Wood Federation!”
Tears welled up in Luo Lan’s eyes.
Normally, the elderly man would have knelt down to comfort her. But now, he said sternly to her instead, “First Princess, the news of your legs being injured has already reached the imperial court. If they can’t find you in a 150-kilometer radius around the imperial court, they will realize that your legs have been healed. All of the doctors in the 150-kilometer radius will have to bear the consequences.
“I’m sure you’re aware of Luo Cai’s temperament. I don’t need to say what will happen to the thousands of doctors. Not killing that doctor is not an act of mercy because even if she doesn’t die at your hands, she will still end up dead because of you. You have lost miserably to Luo Cai.”
The elderly man’s words caused Luo Lan to ball her fist tightly until her knuckles turned white.
The elderly man changed his tone and said, “First Princess, you can only save the Iron Hammer Federation with your way of doing things once you regain control over the imperial court. As you flee north and somehow manage to survive, you will realize how terrifying hunger can be.”
Luo Lan had been listening to the elderly man silently. However, Lan Ni could not stand to listen to him any longer.
“Lord Li Zhong, it’s not that easy to regain control of the imperial court. What can the First Princess do? You—”
Before Lan Ni could finish speaking, Li Zhong interrupted her and said, “This is an issue that the First Princess needs to puzzle out for herself. Now that her legs are healed don’t waste any more time here.”

In the short span of a few days, Luo Lan felt that she had matured well past her age.

She looked deeply into the elderly man’s eyes and bowed to him before draping a beast’s skin over herself as a cloak and dragged Lan Li out of the temple with her to continue fleeing north.
After some time, they finally saw the two rivers that the Ice Wave River broke off into.
Even in the coldest winter, the Ice Wave River never froze. This was because its currents were too rapid, and any ice that formed would be shattered very soon.
When they saw the Ice Wave River, Lan Ni and Luo Lan knew that they had left the Iron Hammer Federation’s main region.
Almost all the large tribes resided along the Ice Wave River.
Once they left this area, the number of people around would fall sharply.
Luckily, Luo Lan was carrying many federation dollars with her and could use them to buy food to be stored within the Item-Storing Walnuts.
After a few short days, Luo Lan finally experienced what true hunger was.
Now, she had a choice to make. Which branch of the Ice Wave River should she follow in order to survive?
Just as she was about to make her decision, Lan Ni said, “First Princess, I will only be able to accompany you up to here. The people sent out by Luo Cai probably haven’t reached this area. I will stay to remove and create misleading tracks to throw them off your scent. Pick one of the paths, and I’ll take the other one two days later.”
While she spoke, Lan Ni handed her Item-Storing Walnut that contained rations to Luo Lan.
Next, she took five small loaves of bread out of one of the Item-Storing Walnuts and stored them away under her clothes.
In the cold winter, five small loaves of bread would only last her three days.
While Lan Ni was speaking, she steeled herself for death.
In the past, Luo Lan would never have agreed to what Lan Ni was about to do.
But now that she had matured, she hugged Lan Ni for a moment before she chose the left path.
She summoned the Broad-Backed Mystic Turtle, which was the specialty aquatic fey of the Iron Hammer Federation’s imperial court.
The Broad-Backed Mystic Turtle had an expansive shell and could shoot through the water like a shadow.
It could even swim comfortably within the Ice Wave River’s main river to deliver goods. Thus, there was no issue for it to carry Luo Lan through one of the branch rivers.
Given the speed of the Broad-Backed Mystic Turtle, it would be difficult for Luo Cai to catch Luo Lan.
However, this road of fleeing had come with too many heavy prices. Too many people had sacrificed themselves for her sake.
Luo Lan fell asleep in the cold as she sat atop the Broad-Backed Mystic Turtle.
Before she fell asleep, Luo Lan made a desperate wish that she would be willing to give up anything as long as she could regain control of the Iron Hammer Federation and ensure that no citizen of the Iron Hammer Federation had to go hungry.
