Helping Her Once

Xiao Xing painfully clutched its stomach. Having diarrhea halfway through, its heart was filled with grief and indignation! It quickly ran over, shaking Jun Qinglan repeatedly, tears welling in its eyes: *Master, please help me vent my anger!*

The Crown Prince looked at it gently: "Diarrhea is just because you have a good stomach and a good digestive system. Why blame others?"

Xiao Xing shut its mouth. Back then, when that woman had diarrhea, the master had asked it about it, and it basically indicated that it was because her digestive system and stomach were good. Now the master was throwing those exact words back at it. Could this be the legendary turning of the tables?

"Awoo!" *Master, you don't love me!*

"Giving the Dongling Princess the Night Luminescent Pearl, giving the Nanqi envoy the Purple Jade Liuli, and giving the Dongling Royal Family the Seven-Colored Jade Liuli... If this lord didn't love you, Xiao Miao, go and fetch those things back. As for Lord Xing, it will be roasted by someone tomorrow..." the Crown Prince spoke leisurely.

Xiao Xing heard this and quickly scurried over, shamelessly hugging his thigh: "Awoo! Awoo!" *Oh, master, I know you love me the most! Wealth and treasures are just external things. Asking for them back after giving them away would make me lose face, right?*

Xiao Miao also cleared his throat to mediate: "Lord Xing, the master told you not to go out, but you still did. It's normal for the master to be angry when something happened to you..."

"Awoo!" *Master, I misunderstood you! So you were angry because you cared about me!*

Jun Qinglan did not speak. He grabbed Xiao Xing, who was hugging his leg, threw it aside, and walked out of the palace.

Xiao Miao quickly caught up and asked: "Master, you are..."

A voice echoed from ahead, carrying a hint of a smile: "Originally, this lord did not plan to interfere in Dantai Huang's affairs. But seeing that she taught Xiao Xing a lesson on my behalf, this lord will help her once!"

With that, he took leisurely steps, slowly heading outside.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xing, who had just found some comfort, heard this and looked up at the sky in disbelief, crying until it fainted...

Hearing Xiao Xing's cries, the Crown Prince's lips curled slightly, his expression alluring and lazy. He hadn't planned to interfere, but he had warned Xiao Xing, yet that woman was still able to lure it out and mess with it like that. That made her worthy of his rescue!

As for that wolf who didn't listen to its master and dared to run out only to get dealt with, letting it grieve a little would do it some good!

...

"First Prince, you are truly a good friend!" Arriving at the entrance of her palace, Dantai Huang very happily patted Chu Changge on the shoulder!

Chu Changge was startled by her pat at first, then smiled. With a romantic air, he fanned his jade-bone fan and spoke gently: "To be able to exert effort for the Princess is this prince's honor!"

"Since you find it so honorable, then I won't specially thank you! We've reached the palace. I'll head back first. Goodnight, First Prince. It was nice knowing you!" After saying this, Dantai Huang rushed toward her palace! It wasn't that she was ungrateful, but whenever Chu Changge finished talking, he liked to steer things toward romance, and talking to him was truly exhausting!

Chu Changge was stunned. He watched her burn the bridge after crossing it, standing speechless for a long time before turning back...

Tong Jian snorted, rolling his eyes in disdain: "Your Highness, did you see that? She completely looks down on you!"

With a *smack*, Chu Changge tapped him on the head and smiled: "If she had responded honestly, this prince would look down on her instead!" With that, he casually fanned his fan and strolled back to his own palace...

Tong Jian was speechless. *Your Highness, you've really been looked down upon.*

...

As soon as Dantai Huang entered the courtyard, a cold blade light attacked from the right, carrying bone-chilling intent! Such killing intent could only belong to a martial arts master!

Just as she was about to strike back, a stray stone carrying boundless inner force flew from a high place, striking the black-clothed man's wrist!

With a *clang*, the longsword fell to the ground. Suddenly, a rope wrapped around Dantai Huang's waist, pulling her up onto the roof!

Next, an annoying voice drifted over: "Princess, how about this Crown Prince flies you like a kite?"

"Get lost!" How could there be such a despicable person in this world! He actually wanted to use her as a kite, bastard!

"Just a joke, how could this Crown Prince bear to do that!" he said. As the rope retracted, he waved his hand, sending the black-clothed man below flying, channeling his inner force to strike at his companions!

With a swing, the black-clothed men below were like sandbags, whipped here and there by the rope in his hand. The rope stood straight due to his inner force, yet his expression remained unchanged, his smile as before!

Standing beside him, Dantai Huang watched him casually swing the rope, toying with the martial arts masters. Aside from shock, there was only shock. What realm had this man's cultivation base actually reached?

Right at this moment, the man who was leisurely swinging the rope suddenly tilted his head and spoke with a mischievous smile: "Princess, the wind is strong over there. It's safer for you to come into this Crown Prince's embrace!"

"I really want to find a smelly sock to stuff your mouth!" Truly infuriating!

"Hahaha..." A soft chuckle, extremely pleasant to the ear.

...

South of Qilian Mountain, in a peach blossom forest, stood a bamboo house. Suddenly, a gyrfalcon pierced through the air, flying through the window into the room. On its leg was a golden slip, which was indeed the seal of the Beiming Crown Prince!

It was already midnight...

At this moment, a woman dressed in plain cloth was angrily rubbing her waist! Suddenly, a lion's roar echoed: "Baili Jinghong, tell me honestly, did you steal five taels of silver?"

On a tree not far from the house, a white-robed man was holding a sword, gazing at the moon. The gentle moonlight cast a layer of silver light on his exquisite and sharp profile. His expression was cold and devoid of warmth, as if no person or matter could enter his eyes, and all things in the world were kept three feet away from him.

In this world, there was probably no one colder or prouder than him. And he was indeed the number one handsome man in the martial world, Baili Jinchen! But at this moment, even as cold and proud as he was, hearing his mother question his father, his brow could not help but furrow.

His father stole... five taels of silver from his mother?!

Beside him, Baili Ruyan gasped. Her heart-stirring beauty was also filled with pity. Shaking her head, she looked up at the sky and said: "Sigh! It's only five taels of silver. Would our esteemed father actually steal it? Mother... Wait, could it be that you stole it, Brother?"

Hearing this, Baili Jinchen closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring her...

Baili Ruyan sensibly shut her mouth. Having a brother was so boring! Uncle Leng Zihan was much better... Too bad he had run away again!

Inside the room, Baili Jinghong's face stiffened. His captivating eyes swept toward Nangong Jin as he said calmly: "Didn't you buy firewood, rice, oil, and salt today? If I remember correctly, that cost five taels."

"Uh..." Nangong Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Ahahaha, I forgot. You know, as one gets older, one's memory inevitably worsens! I knew you wouldn't mind, ahahaha... Oh, right, what are you looking at?"

Her forehead was covered in sweat as she changed the subject!

The woman speaking looked to be only in her early thirties, with an exquisitely beautiful face, a slender figure, and lovely gestures. The man she was questioning also looked to be in his early thirties. He possessed a cold, proud, and untainted demeanor, like a bright moon, making one's heart swoon.

His eyes fell upon the table as he said calmly: "Qinglan sent a letter!"
