Chu Tianling recalled his distant memories, these 18 repetitions, and sighed, saying, "Fifteen years ago I was only five years old, spending every day in the palace. I suppose my father will know the truth. I'll ask him when I get back!"

"Mmm!" Shen Jiaojiao replied lazily.

Perhaps it was the warmth of the fire, or perhaps it was the warmth of the embrace, but Shen Jiaojiao fell asleep without realizing it.

Chu Tianling picked up the person, returned to the tent, and slowly fell asleep while holding the person.

The night was quiet when suddenly, the sound of running could be heard in the distance.

Soon after, a commotion broke out outside. Chu Tianling patted the person in his arms, and after Shen Jiaojiao fell asleep again, he slowly got up and walked out of the tent.

The outside had already quieted down. He went out and found that he had caught a man in black, and there was a sack next to him.

"What happened?" Chu Tianling asked.

Zhou Tianqi, who was on night watch, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, while on night watch tonight, I heard footsteps in the distance. I went to investigate and saw a man in black carrying a sack running this way. When he saw me, he turned and ran. But I was more skillful and caught the thief!"

At this moment, the man in black was lying on the ground, his body bent into a figure-seven shape starting from his back.

"I only kicked him once!" Zhou Tianqi added dryly. "I'm naturally stronger, so you can't blame me!"

Chu Tianling glanced at the man in black on the ground with a complicated expression. No normal person could do that pose. He slowly stepped forward and pulled down the black veil covering his face.

Below was an ordinary face, with bulging eyes, a slightly open mouth, and an expression of disbelief!

He never imagined that he would be kicked to death so quickly!

I reached out and sure enough, she was no longer breathing!

Meeting Chu Tianling's gaze, Zhou Tianqi gave an awkward laugh. Seeing the sack next to him, he quickly went over and opened it, revealing a beautiful woman lying unconscious inside.

Zhou Tianqi quickly spoke up, afraid of being punished if he was too slow: "Your Highness, there is a woman in the sack!"

Chu Tianling stood up, stared at Zhou Tianqi, and asked the crucial question: "So you just kicked someone to death?"

Zhou Tianqi immediately knelt down, feeling sweat all over his head for some reason. His voice was a little unsteady as he replied, "Well... I didn't think too much at the time. I just wanted to make sure they didn't get away. I didn't expect them to be so weak, haha..."

I'm not going to be punished, am I? I'm so nervous!

Chu Tianling stepped forward and patted Zhou Tianqi on the back with his large hand. Zhou Tianqi trembled slightly, but Chu Tianling didn't mind. He patted him three times forcefully, then lowered his voice, afraid of waking Shen Jiaojiao:

"Well done, you're great, you'll be working for me from now on!"

Zhou Tianqi looked up at His Highness the Crown Prince, his eyes sparkling with emotion, wanting to shout out loud. A second before he could speak, Chu Tianling put his finger to his lips and whispered, "Be quiet, don't wake the Crown Princess!"

Zhou Tianqi covered his eyes with his hands, nodded frantically, and made "uh-huh!" sounds.

"Send people down to investigate their identities. Find a place to keep an eye on that girl. She'll come to my side tomorrow morning to stand guard." Chu Tianling finished speaking and turned back. He still had to sleep with Jiaojiao; that guy was disturbing his peaceful dreams.

Zhou Tianqi couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, letting out a silent laugh. He was already a bit dark-skinned, and with his wide grin revealing his big white teeth, he looked particularly terrifying in the darkness.

Hehehe, it's appreciated in value!!! I'm overjoyed.

Just imagine Li Kui grinning foolishly in the TV series and you'll get a vivid picture.

Zhou Tianqi was born into a farming family. He grew up to be big and strong, and although he was born with superhuman strength, he ate a lot!

His family, being an ordinary farming household, couldn't afford to feed him, let alone send him to school. So when they saw that the Crown Prince's residence was recruiting people, providing room and board, they immediately arranged for him to join.

Now that I'm hanging out with His Highness the Crown Prince, I should be able to eat my fill! Hehehe!

He usually felt embarrassed to eat too much when dining with others, but this was much better than at home, so he thought the Crown Prince's residence was a really good place.

Shen Jiaojiao saw Yama again in her dream. This time, Yama took the initiative to find her, which was quite rare.

Without wasting any words, Yama said directly: "Shen Jiaojiao, I have investigated carefully after I got back. Because you hit me 18 times with the script, the world in the book was repeated 18 times."

In particular, His Highness Crown Prince Chu Tianling has been stuck at the age of 18, accumulating resentment over 18 lifetimes. Moreover, you have absorbed the world's fortune, and from now on, various disasters will occur.

Rest assured, you will avert disaster, accumulate blessings, and repay your debts!

He disappeared after saying that.

Damn it, I don't want to live like this for even a day longer!

So we're here to pay off our debts!

Shen Jiaojiao woke up early in the morning, sat on the bed and didn't want to move, staring at Chu Tianling without turning her head for a long time.

Enough is enough, time to pay off the debt!

Chu Tianling had already noticed her gaze, and only opened his eyes when he sensed her turn her head.

He happened to meet Shen Jiaojiao's gaze, and this time there seemed to be something different in her eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao was the first to turn her head and stand up.

Chu Tianling found that he felt much better after taking a nap. This was not an illusion. It seemed that he could not live without Jiaojiao, and he did not want to leave her anyway.

With her mind preoccupied, Shen Jiaojiao stepped out of the tent first and ran into an ancient version of Li Kui.

"Greetings, Crown Princess!" Zhou Tianqi was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep, so he stood guard at the door early in the morning. He didn't feel tired at all; he just felt full of energy.

Shen Jiaojiao was startled; the sound was too loud!

"Um... hello... hehe..." and strode away.

Chu Tianling strode over, and he could tell from the sound that Jiaojiao was frightened.

Damn it!

His piercing eyes shot over, meeting Zhou Tianqi's excited puppy-dog eyes, and for a moment he was too embarrassed to say the harsh words he was about to utter.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Tianqi shouted even louder, and his shout was heard by the entire group, immediately causing a chorus of voices to rise and fall around them.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

…

My good mood vanished in an instant, what a headache!

"Quiet, speak more softly in the future! You've frightened the Crown Princess," Chu Tianling said.

"Yes!" Zhou Tianqi replied in a low voice and nodded vigorously.

I received orders early this morning while following His Highness the Crown Prince. How wonderful! I should be able to eat two more bowls of rice at noon.

Chu Tianling watched the receding figure ahead and quickly chased after it.

Zhou Tianqi was left standing at the tent entrance, wondering whether he should follow them. The tent was empty anyway.

His Highness the Crown Prince didn't give any orders! But he said last night that I should follow him, so... should I follow him?

So they followed and chased after them.

Shen Jiaojiao just wanted to take a walk. It was inconvenient to do anything outside. She remembered the river behind the mountain, but she didn't know if there was one in front of her. She hadn't washed her face yet and wasn't used to it.

It's so inconvenient to be outside!

Just as we reached the edge of the tent, the tent on the very edge opened.

He encountered a beautiful woman dressed in pink.
