Xuanyuan Mingchen was truly in pain. Besides, when had he ever been so humiliated by an animal before? His eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he chased after him...

In the mansion, everyone was his, so Yan Miaoling had no chance of escaping. After a while, she was back in his hands again.

But this time, he was being dragged up, the fur behind his neck was pulled up, and his little body was spinning around...

Without a word, Xuanyuan Mingchen stretched out his right hand and grabbed her neck, as if to break it. Yan Miaoling closed her eyes, extremely nervous...

At this moment, the goddess' voice rang out, "My Lord, are you looking for me?"

Girls are naturally vulnerable to furry things. Shen Aoshan saw the pitiful little fox being carried and quickly stepped forward to take it. "Where did you find this, Your Highness?" she asked with envy and fondness in her eyes.

A more capable man would have probably passed her on. However, Xuanyuan Mingchen was different. The more someone showed affection, the more he refused to let go. He'd intended to threaten her, but this interruption dispelled his anger. He ignored Yan Miaoling's objections and embraced her again...

"Wuwuwu..." Yan Miaoling begged Shen Aoshan for help...

"Mmmmm..." Yan Miaoling acted coquettishly towards Shen Aoshan...

"Ahhh..." Seeing that Shen Aoshan wanted to get closer but didn't dare to go forward, she got anxious and yelled in a mess...

But it could not change her fate of being carried into the prince's room.

At the door, Xuanyuan Mingchen waved to Shen Aoshan, "Your senior brother is not here, this white fox is injured, come and take a look."

Shen Aoshan didn't hesitate and went into the house to give Yan Miaoling a thorough checkup. Finally, she replied, "Your Highness, the little fox is fine. It will be fine in two days. Be careful not to get it wet."

The following sentence is simply heavenly music.

"Mmmmm..." Yan Miaoling gave Shen Aoshan a thumbs up.

The big eyes rolled around, so cute. It reminded Shen Aoshan of Yan Miaoling. She didn't know if this girl would worry about her after being away all night. She said goodbye to Xuanyuan Mingchen and hurried back.

After a while, she came back. "Your Highness, Ling'er is missing? Is that true? Any clues? Where did she go missing?"

"Ahhh..." Yan Miaoling gave Shen Aoshan a hint...

But Shen Aoshan was worried about her at the moment, so she had no mood to pay attention to a fox. "Your Highness... could you lend me some men..." Her martial arts skills were pretty good for a woman, but it wasn't wise to go into the mountains alone, filled with wolves, tigers and leopards.

Xuanyuan Mingchen stopped him and said, "Just stay in the mansion and wait for news. I have already sent hundreds of elite soldiers to look for her." The implication was that if I can't find her, it would not make much sense for a weak woman like you to go.

This is a fact, Shen Aoshan understands.

Just as she was about to say something, she felt the little fox lift its paw and pull her, the action was very intimate...

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Mingchen handed the fox to Shen Aoshan and said, "This white fox may be the last creature to have seen Miss Ling'er. Try to communicate with it and see if you can get any useful clues..."

He was also in a hurry to go out and look for someone, so it was impossible for him to take the fox with him all the time.

After saying that, he went inside, changed his clothes, and went out again. This time, his destination was the friendly camp. He suddenly remembered the secret letter he had recently received...

In the Cole Army camp.

Xuanyuan Mingchen and Chi Ao sat opposite each other, with kumis and roasted lamb on the table...

After three months of collaboration, these two equally talented individuals who admired each other had become "identity-sensitive" friends. Xuanyuan Mingchen got straight to the point, "Is Miss Ling'er here with you?"

Chi Ao paused in pouring the wine, his face suspicious, "What do you mean?"

After Xuanyuan Mingchen told him the truth, Chi Ao couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up, his eyes wide open, and said, "What! You lost my fiancée?"

Xuanyuan Mingchen was annoyed, "Do you have a point? Just answer me and that's it!" What the hell, he hasn't even replied to the letter to agree, how can she be his fiancée!

What an arrogant character.

Speaking of the male protagonist Chi Ao, he is really speechless. Ever since he recognized Yan Miaoling as his "savior" last time, he sent people to investigate her background in detail.

What about being the sworn sister of Princess Zhaochen? What about studying at a women's college (currently on leave?)? What about being a stunningly beautiful woman in her twenties and still unmarried? And so on...

After all, he felt satisfied and decided to repay her for saving his life with his own body. It was just so strange, so straightforward, so stubborn. To put it in a positive light, it could be considered love at first sight.

But the prince cannot decide his own marriage, so...

After the two armies defeated the Rus, Emperor Kerr was overjoyed. He summoned Chi Ao back to Shengjing to celebrate. Emperor Kerr asked his second son what reward he wanted for his great achievement. Chi Ao replied, "I only ask to be able to decide my own marriage!" Marriages for princes and grandsons of the royal family were usually arranged by the emperor.

Chi Ao suddenly made this request, and Emperor Kerr understood. It seemed he had found a sweetheart, so he stroked his beard with joy and readily agreed, "Very well, Father will do as you wish!" He then laid out a condition, "Father does not require a specific background, but... the manners and appearance, as well as the horsemanship, must be up to par. Do you understand?"

The future princess, or even the crown princess. She couldn't ride a horse if she was too ugly, too rustic, or too delicate; that would disappoint the subjects. Emperor Cole's request wasn't excessive.

Chi Ao thought for a moment. His savior was a man of exceptional appearance, lively and well-mannered. His only shortcoming was his horsemanship, which he would slowly improve.

He happily agreed.

With his father's approval, Chi Ao, who had returned to the border, was left with nothing to wait for. He simply submitted a marriage proposal letter to Xuanyuan Mingchen... expressing his desire to marry the princess's adopted sister.

He was right to do so, since Yan Miaoling was an orphan without a father or a brother. Since men were the breadwinners, it made sense for her future brother-in-law to decide on matters of marriage.

Chi Ao had already identified the person in his heart. When he heard that he was lost, he was furious. "Come on, I'll bring people to help you look for him!"

Well, for the next few days, the entire North City was bustling with activity. Every day, all kinds of people were walking around, looking around the streets and alleys.

Finally one day, Yan Miaoling waited until Ye Xiao, whose face was dark from the sun, and Bai Muchen, whose face was thin and sallow, returned to the general's mansion.

In the yard, she rushed forward happily, intending to stage a long-awaited reunion scene, but who would have thought...

Ye Xiao was furious and wanted to kick her, "Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Go away, get out of the way!"

Bai Muchen wasn't so uncaring about animals, but he wasn't interested either. He avoided her approach and headed back to his own place...

"Ahhh..." Yan Miaoling was furious. Ye Xiao, you idiot! And Bai Muchen, I thought you had a brain...

Yan Miaoling's actions made Shen Aoshan, who had been with her day and night for several days, even more suspicious. Her lips trembled as she turned to Yan Miaoling, "Ling'er, is that you?"
