Is there any need to think about this further?

For the sake of her own ears, Yu Ling didn't care about anything else and just knocked the woman unconscious first!

After figuring it out, Yu Ling immediately made her move. With a single palm strike, the woman fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Ling picked her up and threw her into the exquisite bamboo house she had never lived in before, placing her on the bamboo bed where no bedding had been prepared.

Then, after working outside for half a day to build the fence, he couldn't just leave people behind, so he sat in the bamboo house and waited quietly.

Soon after, the woman slowly woke up.

"Who are you? How did you end up in this desolate, uninhabited place?" Yu Ling asked.

Yuan Yanxi wasn't fully awake yet, still muttering something. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"Why aren't you dressed yet?!"

"If I had extras, I'd just wear them, wouldn't I? Really..."

Before Yu Ling could finish speaking, she felt a powerful force strike her chest.

Bang--

Yu Ling was still breathing heavily for a long time.

"Could you be the legendary flower thief? I'm warning you, I... I am Princess Yuan Yanxi of Beishang! Don't you dare mess around! Otherwise..."

Yuan Yanxi's hands ached from pounding the fist, and her eyes were brimming with tears.

"You're the flower thief! And what kind of princess is this, the Northern Princess? What kind of princess would come to this desolate wilderness to play?"

Yu Ling patted her chest and glared angrily, giving off an expression that said, "You're not someone to mess with."

Regardless of who the other person is, you must never let anyone know who you are; it's best to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"Then why did you knock me out?!"

Yuan Yanxi knew that her status probably wouldn't be enough to subdue this "wild man" who didn't even have clothes, but her pride was still holding her back, and she refused to bow her head and show weakness, so she stubbornly continued to speak.

"If you had shouted like that, your voice would have been like thunder. I was being lenient by knocking you out." Seeing Yuan Yanxi still in a daze, and her stomach rumbling, Yu Ling asked again, "Hungry?"

Yuan Yanxi blushed and tacitly agreed.

She is a princess, yet she is so rude; she shouldn't even be in front of a savage.

Having said that, Yu.Yeren.Ling walked to the door and opened it.

I reckon the system horse should be back with bamboo shoots soon.

Then he turned around and sat down again on the bamboo stool next to the bamboo bed.

Those junk books in the system store are actually somewhat useful; at least building a house by hand without nails is truly amazing. It's quite fun, giving you a DIY kind of joy.

Sure enough, the system horse returned shortly after, kicking a giant bamboo shoot with a clattering sound.

[Huh? Host, why did you bring the female lead's sister here? *sobs*]

The system glanced at Yuan Yanxi in surprise.

"She just popped up on her own; it has nothing to do with me!" Yu Ling thought to herself.

Yuan Yanxi was completely dumbfounded.

She stared in shock at the horse that looked like a human, her mind reeling with turmoil.

Is there really someone in this world who can train a horse like this?

She couldn't help but wonder if this "bare-chested wild man" was a monster in human form!

Over here, having finished all of today's tasks, Yu Ling, still naked, took a small knife and chopped the huge bamboo shoot into eight pieces, placing them in the bamboo cup he used to fetch water, and handed it to Yuan Yanxi.

I'll wait until I go out before wearing it.

If the princess were to recognize him by accident, all the hard work of building the house would be for nothing.

Yuan Yanxi intended to politely decline.

But without thinking, my hand took it and put it directly into my mouth.

What is this? It tastes pretty good.

Is the life of a savage really that good?

While eating...

Suddenly, the conversation between the Queen and herself after she was captured and brought back to the palace flashed through her mind...

"Yanxi, you can't be so willful anymore. You're a girl; what if something happens to you? Prime Minister Tang's son is of excellent character and appearance; as long as..."

Yuan Yanxi's memory is very vivid.

She knew she couldn't escape it after all, but she had heard that Prime Minister Tang's son had many concubines, and she was unwilling to marry him.

Sure enough, she ran away from the palace again yesterday and even stole a horse from a royal carriage. However, the horse got a little frightened, and she rode it more than ten miles away. Later, she seemed to have wandered back a bit, but she lost the horse and got lost as well.

After thinking it over, she realized that if she hadn't encountered this savage, she might not have survived.

After finishing the bamboo shoot in her hand, Yuan Yanxi looked at the empty bamboo cup, and occasionally stole a glance at Yu Ling, saying shyly, "...Um, thank you for taking me in."

This sentence completely baffled Yu Ling. Please! I didn't intend to take you in! Princess, please don't try to scam me!

"Miss, you can ride this horse back to Beishang Kingdom." Yu Ling was eager to send her away.

"I..." Yuan Yanxi was about to reply.

Yu Ling stood up and walked out of the bamboo house.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Yanxi panicked.

I've finally found such a good place to hide. If I go back, wouldn't I have to get married again?

She quickly took out some loose gold from her bosom and placed it on the bamboo table as payment, then hurriedly chased after him out of the bamboo house.

But when she stepped out of the bamboo gate, Yu Ling had already disappeared.

Yu Ling had already grabbed the clothes and run away.

This timid princess surely wouldn't dare spend the night alone in the bamboo house.

He had already instructed the system to take a detour on its way back, to ensure that the screaming princess wouldn't come looking for this place again.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yanxi was extremely anxious and searched everywhere for Yu Ling.
