Bi Linglong then came to her senses, opened her eyes, and could vaguely see the anxious figures on the shore through the water.

She felt extremely embarrassed and quickly pushed Zu An away, then leaped out of the water.

"Princess!"

The young men from various families who had been searching on the shore hurriedly gathered around.

However, another figure was faster than them, and somehow produced a robe and draped it over her, covering her graceful figure that was revealed as she was soaked to the bone.

Bi Linglong felt a warmth in her heart. This guy was quite considerate. However, seeing the looks from those around her, she immediately coughed lightly and said, "Thank you for saving me, Lord Zu."

Zu An smiled slightly: "You're too kind, Your Highness. If Your Highness hadn't gone into the water and distracted the Azure Moon Dragon, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill it so easily."

While underwater, the two kept calling each other "Linglong Azu," but once back in the crowd, they tacitly reverted to their usual relationship without any discussion.

Hearing Zu An's words, Bi Linglong blushed. She naturally understood that the other party was deliberately giving her face. Otherwise, she would have jumped down and not been able to help at all, and almost drowned. It would have been too embarrassing to say it out loud.

She gave him a grateful look, and then immediately said, "It is thanks to Lord Zu's ability to fight against the ninth-rank Azure Moon Dragon that I had the opportunity to contribute my strength. In that situation just now, I had no choice but to fight to the death. Fortunately, I finally succeeded in killing that evil dragon."

Everyone exclaimed in admiration, "Lord Zu is amazing, but the Crown Princess is even more amazing!"

"Truly, women are just as capable as men!"

“We were all terrified by what just happened; only the Crown Princess dared to rush in.”

...

Hearing everyone's praise, Bi Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried about how to explain to these people that she had jumped down with all her might, but Zu An had solved the problem for her with ease.

She pursed her lips and looked at Zuan, who was smiling at her.

For some reason, her gaze involuntarily fell on the other person's lips, and she instantly felt flustered and hurriedly turned her face away, not daring to look at him.

Just then, a voice called out from afar: "Linglong, Linglong, help me!"

When everyone turned around, they saw a large, fat man running, panting heavily, with a pack of giant wolves chasing after him, while the palace guards, covered in blood, were holding off the wolves.

"It's the Crown Prince!"

"Quickly, save them!"

A group of people hurriedly brandished their weapons and rushed over. When the wolves saw so many people, they stopped and circled around a few times before finally retreating into the woods, unwilling to give up.

"What exactly happened? Why were you being chased by the pale giant wolf again?" Bi Linglong asked curiously while having her subordinates bandage their wounds.
