"As far as I know, Western Chu is surrounded by rivers, lakes and seas, so it will probably be difficult to get reinforcements."

Yun Duoduo raised an eyebrow at him, while Xi Jing's expression grew increasingly grim.

How is this little thing so smart?

This little thing is really... infuriating!

"You drama queen, I advise you to obediently send this princess back!"

“Return this princess to the palace unharmed.”

Yun Duoduo stuffed the last piece of pastry into her mouth.

"Why aren't you untying this princess yet?"

Because her hands and feet were bound, she had great difficulty eating these few pieces of pastry.

Yun Duoduo stared at the two guards behind Xi Jing. Unable to withstand Yun Duoduo's intense gaze, the two guards hurriedly lowered their heads.

Xi Jing hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

"Keep a close eye on this little thing!"

Yun Duoduo was so angry that she puffed out her cheeks and glared at him: "Hey, you stubborn mule, why won't you listen to advice?!"

The door was slammed shut, leaving Yun Duoduo alone in the room.

I had hoped someone would take her home comfortably, but it seems she'll have to travel over mountains and rivers to get back home by herself.

...

After the guards closed the door, Yun Duoduo closed her eyes and circulated her inner energy, allowing it to flow slowly within her body. With a slight exertion, the ropes on her hands and feet snapped due to her internal force.

The guards at the gate only felt a slight tremor under their feet, but they didn't pay much attention and just muttered a few words.

Yun Duoduo tiptoed out of bed, gently pushed open the window, and climbed out.
