Chapter 195
The Second Princess suddenly woke with a start.
The palace maids following her stopped as well.
“Princess?” her personal maid called.
The Second Princess looked at her blankly. “Where are we going?”
Her personal maid was equally confused. “Your Highness said you were going to tell the Sixth Princess that you wouldn’t lend her that object after all.”
The Second Princess looked as though the woman were spouting nonsense. “What rubbish! When did this princess ever say such a thing? If I refuse to lend Sixth Sister something, won’t Crown Prince Brother blame me?”
Her personal maid felt terribly wronged as she watched her baffled mistress curse under her breath and turn back.
The princess had clearly declared out of nowhere that she no longer wished to lend the Sixth Princess the object. Her maid even tried to persuade her otherwise, but the princess behaved as though possessed and insisted on going to the Sixth Princess’s palace despite it being dinnertime.
Now, for some unknown reason, she had changed her mind again.
It was as though something had controlled her. Completely inexplicable.
…
Fusheng Duan had never expected to use Shengsheng Zhou’s secret weapon so soon.
But…
His subordinates were locked in battle with a group of blond men who had appeared from nowhere and babbled in an incomprehensible language.
Not far ahead of Fusheng stood a man as tall as a bear.
For now, Fusheng would call him the Blond Bear.
Against a brute whose only merit was having arms thicker than Fusheng’s thighs, Fusheng should easily have removed his head.
But what was so profoundly tragic about the situation?
Fusheng stood in a dead corner. It had rained the previous night, and a stretch of mud cut across the entire road before him.
If the Blond Bear charged, his movements would splash muddy water all over Fusheng.
But the distance was currently too great for Fusheng to attack first. He would have to wait until the Blond Bear stepped into the mud before taking his head.
And that would still splash Fusheng with muddy water.
He could imagine no crisis more severe.
The Blond Bear saw the rare black-haired Eastern beauty remain perfectly still and assumed he had frozen in terror.
Oh, dear God, how beautiful he was! Like a magnificent rose in a palace after the rain, jeweled with crystal droplets. Cupid’s arrow had struck the blond man straight through the heart!
But why had such a beautiful person committed the terrible crime of murdering the prince?
“Farewell, my love.” He spoke with great sorrow, but a hideous grin twisted his face. He was almost feverishly excited to destroy the work of art before him.
Hearing the man’s clumsy use of the continent’s common tongue, Fusheng raised a brow.
This blond man could actually speak like a human.
Within those few short seconds, the hammer was about to smash Fusheng’s head apart.
The face of a young woman flashed through his mind, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance when he departed.
Then the Blond Bear saw the rose-like beauty before him suddenly reveal a breathtakingly gorgeous smile.
His red lips parted. “My heart is iron, my will unbroken.”
The Blond Bear looked at him as though he were a beautiful fool. “You’re about to die. Let’s see how unbroken you are then!”
The instant he finished,
an inverted triangle suddenly appeared on the beauty’s forehead, blazing with golden light. Then a gigantic golden bubble emerged from between those petal-red lips.
Caught completely off guard, the Blond Bear was sealed inside it.
Eyes wide with disbelief, he watched himself rise farther and farther from the ground, slowly floating into the air.
“Fuck!!!!” His furious roar of shock and unwillingness echoed through the sky.
It also successfully stopped the two hostile groups on the ground.
Without exception,
everyone turned toward Fusheng Duan, who had just spat out a bubble.
“What happen??”
“Holy shit! Am I seeing things?!”
The blond men’s expressions became rather strange.
Why did these people seem even more shocked than they were?
Weren’t they all on the same side?
Fusheng covered his mouth and felt the heat in his forehead slowly cool.
It seemed the thing that had emerged just now returned to his body.
Fusheng: “…”
He might be a bird, but he had no desire to change species at the moment.
…
Shengsheng Zhou was discussing hair care with the Fifth Princess when A-Pang suddenly shouted inside her mind. *Shengsheng! The villain used the dragon scale!!*
*What?! Fusheng is in danger?!* Shengsheng sprang to her feet.
A-Pang: *…Do you understand human speech?*
The Fifth Princess watched Shengsheng’s panicked expression and tugged gently at her sleeve. “What is it, Sixth Sister?”
Shengsheng waved a hand. “Ah, nothing. I suddenly thought of something about hair.”
The Fifth Princess blinked.
After confirming with A-Pang that Fusheng’s life was not in danger, Shengsheng sat and asked, still shaken, “Do you know why plucking one white hair makes more grow?”
Curious, the Fifth Princess looked at her with a thirst for knowledge.
Unable to resist her slightly widened eyes, Shengsheng stroked her head. “Because the black hairs beside it see it being plucked away and turn white with fear.”
The Fifth Princess: “…”
“It’s getting late. Fifth Sister, I’ll leave now.” Shengsheng rose and bid her farewell.
The Fifth Princess reluctantly escorted her out.
Watching her mistress, Xiaogong could not help smiling. “Master truly likes the Sixth Princess.”
The Fifth Princess glared at her in shy irritation, then murmured, “Mm.”
Although Fusheng’s life was not in danger, Shengsheng remained worried.
Fusheng was so powerful. He was the king of birds.
What catastrophic danger had forced him to use the life-saving weapon she gave him?
Could that damned *when you come back, we’ll do this and that* flag truly have taken effect?
Please, no. She was still young. She did not want to become a widow while he was alive.
Then how many lovers should she keep? Second Sister had twelve.
Where had Second Sister found them? Should Shengsheng probe indirectly?
Cui’er jogged behind Shengsheng. Was it her imagination?
Had the princess been walking faster and faster lately?
The instant Shengsheng stepped inside, she spotted a familiar eunuch.
He saluted her politely. Shengsheng pushed open the door with a speechless expression.
Sure enough, Weiqing Song had occupied her seat of honor. He held a book while a young palace maid massaged his legs.
What a fellow. He had transferred away all her handsome young eunuchs, yet here he was enjoying the service of her pretty palace maids.
“Imperial Brother, if you’re bored, go find a prison and sit in it.”
*Stop coming here every day. Is there truly nothing in this enormous country for you to handle?*
Unmoved, Weiqing turned a page.
He thought the most urgent problem in the entire country was this troublesome creature who never gave anyone peace.
