In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the steamy bathtub. Tu Shan Rongrong's small hands moved across the water, creating ripples. Her rosy face showed a hint of fatigue.

Last night, she worked for four whole hours until Chi Musheng was too exhausted to continue and she could no longer keep up the act.

Otherwise, who would take a bath so early in the morning? Their stomachs are bulging even though they're clearly hungry.

Her brows relaxed as she looked at Chi Musheng, who was fast asleep on the bed, a faint smile playing on her lips, seemingly quite satisfied.

I'll drain you dry, let's see if you still have the energy to think about that little bitch.

The chirping of birds came from outside the window. Tu Shan Rongrong looked down at her small hand floating on the water and murmured.

"Brother Musheng, what do you want from me to stay by Rongrong's side forever?"

I wish to find one heart to share with you, and stay together until our hair turns white.

After Chi Musheng started to distance himself from her, she realized that no matter how much money she made, it didn't matter, because when you have enough money, you'll only ever have the people who were by your side in the beginning.

From now on, none of the people who appear will be true friends; they will only offer you benefits. Looking at the room full of gold and silver, how can you possibly open your heart to them?

Money is important, but your love is also only once in a lifetime. Whether it's the coldness of high places or the trivialities of low places, the world is whispering in your ear.

Around noon, Huan Du Luolan took a walk outside the city to clear her mind, followed by a panda.

"Princess, are you still thinking about that human man?"

Under the big tree, Elder Panda suddenly stopped and asked.

"Yes, I thought about it for three years, but when we met again, he already had another woman in his arms."

Huan Du Luolan looked up at the azure sky, watching the clouds drift by, a reminder of the passage of time.

Thinking back to those days, I loved sitting on his shoulders every day, letting him carry me as we ran across this meadow.

"Please forgive my indiscretion, but does that human man truly deserve your utmost concern, Princess?"

Elder Panda couldn't help but offer some advice.

In her eyes, Huan Du Luo Lan, as a princess of the Southern Kingdom, could find any kind of man, so why should she be fixated on a human man with a short lifespan?

“Everyone in this world has a different standard for measuring value. Perhaps to you and to our father, he is just an insignificant ordinary human being, but to me, he is priceless.”

Huan Du Luolan sneered, "Who can truly understand the deathly silence deep within the palace?"

Born a princess, of noble birth, with a noble status, she was the envy of the world.

Little did they know the bitterness behind it all. Everyone seemed to be trying to please you, wearing a smile, but in reality, they were maintaining awe towards your status as a princess.

Over the years, she didn't have a single true friend, so when she was a child, she just wanted to do all sorts of willful and capricious things to vent her frustrations. It wasn't until Chi Musheng appeared that she found the first person she could befriend.

"Princess, since you like him so much, why don't you just kidnap him and bring him here?"

Elder Panda couldn't understand it. You are a princess of the Southern Kingdom. Let alone an ordinary human, even a disciple of a Dao Alliance family would have a chance if you wanted to.

"Pfft"

Upon hearing this, Huan Dulu covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tying him up is impossible, let alone you or me, even if Father Emperor were to do it, we might not succeed. Plus, there's Tu Shan Rongrong around. Unless he's willing, there's no other way.

Huan Du Luolan turned her head slightly, her gaze sweeping past the light, a cold smile curving her lips.

"Elder Panda, my liking for him doesn't mean I want to force him, because that's not love, it's just satisfying my own selfish desires."

She has already done so many wrong things to him, she can't hurt him anymore. Competing for someone you like is important, but whether he is happy is also very important.

After hearing these words, Elder Panda fell silent. In her youth, she had also had someone she liked and they had been together, but...

Just as the two were relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the azure sky, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky. In an instant, the sky seemed to be split open, and the clouds rolled rapidly to both sides.

A man and a woman descended from the sky. The man held a long sword and wore a smiling mask, while the woman had a flame pattern on her forehead and held a flute in her hand.

"Tell me, where did you hide my sister?"

Dongfang Huaizhu pointed at the two people with her flute and said.

"Who do you think you are, daring to come and question this princess?"

Huan Du Luo Lan was clearly displeased. She had toned down her temper considerably, but not just anyone could provoke her.

"Are all the monsters of your southern kingdom like this? Daring to do it but not daring to admit it!"

Dongfang Huaizhu looked somewhat angry. She had no time to argue with this princess. Half a day had passed since Qin Lan was captured, and many demons had a habit of eating people.

Every minute of delay increases the danger for Qin Lan.

"Admit what? This princess has never done anything about it."

Huan Du Luo Lan was speaking when she suddenly noticed Elder Panda tugging at her sleeve and whispering in her ear.

"Princess, have you forgotten? We need to build an altar recently, but we don't have enough demonic power, so the Poison King sent Poison Master to capture some humans to help with the construction."

"Forehead"

Huan Du Luolan suddenly felt a little less confident. Although it was Poison Master who did this, if she, as a princess, didn't know about it, these two humans in front of her wouldn't believe it.

"It seems you two do indeed know something."

Wang Quanba stared sharply at the two men, his long sword flashing as he lunged forward, pointing it at Huan Du Luolan's throat.

"Princess, human, I advise you not to act recklessly. If you harm Her Highness, I guarantee none of you will ever leave the Southern Kingdom."

Elder Panda shouted anxiously.

If anything happens to the princess, she, as the accompanying elder, will also suffer.

"There's no need for you to trouble yourself with that. You should hurry and release those innocent people, or my sword might just strike."

Wang Quanba said in a calm tone.

His purpose in coming here was only to rescue people, not to harm them. If the other party obediently releases the person, he naturally will not harm the princess in the slightest.

After all, provoking the hatred of a demon emperor-level powerhouse is not a good thing.

"You're holding the princess hostage, how can I trust you?"

Elder Panda clenched her fists. She dared not leave now. If she left and something happened to the princess, the responsibility would fall entirely on her shoulders.

"If you don't go, I'll kill her right now, you believe me?"

The Demon-Slaying Divine Flame appeared in Dongfang Huaizhu's hand. Her sister's safety was more important than anything else. If anything happened to her sister, she would dare to kill this princess.

"Isn't it somewhat inappropriate for you to kidnap the princess of the Southern Kingdom within its territory?"

Chi Musheng came from afar. Early this morning, Tu Shan Rongrong went to the palace to discuss some business dealings with the Poison Emperor. Bored at the inn, he wandered out and unexpectedly encountered this scene.

In an instant, all four people's eyes were focused on Chi Musheng.

"Sheng'er"

"Xiao Sheng"

"You two know each other?"
