“You’re quite attentive to your He Ye too, aren’t you? We’re all the same,” Hu Ji replied to Wu Shang with a smile, then added with a touch of melancholy, “Now I just hope the princess can heal her face and she can truly be happy. Then I’ll properly confess my feelings to her.”

"Yes, with the Princess's abilities, she can definitely cure Bailu," Wushang said excitedly. "Anyway, Heye and I haven't had a wedding yet. I'll ask the Prince and Princess to grant you a marriage, so we can get married on the same day. Maybe we can even have children on the same day, and who knows, our two families might become in-laws in the future."

Shanyu Heye blushed deeply, spat lightly at Wushang, and turned away, ignoring the two of them.

Hu Ji's eyes lit up, and he gave Wu Shang a thumbs up, saying repeatedly, "This is good, this is really good!"

In the storage room next door, Mi Xi listened to the ship full of people chatting and laughing happily, smelling the tempting aroma of food, and silently shed tears.

During the time Ji Fenghua was driving the skull boat around picking up people, she gradually learned to be quiet.

Because here, all her willfulness and temper would only earn her disgust and disdain.

No one will be like her mother and father, who can grant her every wish and let her do whatever she wants whenever she throws a tantrum.

Seeing how kind everyone was to Mi Wei, especially how much Ji Fenghua cherished her, Mi Xi finally began to regret her actions.

Only then did she realize what she had lost.

Love had once knocked on her door, and happiness was so close, yet she tore it apart and pushed it away with her own hands.

She even killed him with her own hands!

And it was only through the gradual explanation of these things by the scarred woman who brought her food every day that she came to understand them.

No one had ever told her these principles before, but by the time she understood them, it was too late.

While everyone was eating, drinking, and chatting happily, Bai Lu once again carried a food box to the storage room next door.

Ji Fenghua, Mi Wei, and Hu Ji noticed Bai Lu's actions, but none of them stopped her.

When they arrived at the storeroom, Bailu tossed a bowl of rice and two dishes from the food box in front of Mi Xi and said, "There's no sand in today's food. From today onwards, I won't force you anymore. Eat if you want, or don't eat if you don't want to."

After saying that, Bai Lu sat in the corner of the room opposite Mi Xi, her hands clasped on her knees, lost in thought.

Yes, Bai Lu wasn't bringing food to Mi Xi out of kindness because of her innocent, naive nature; she just wanted an excuse to avoid everyone.

She wasn't kind to Mi Xi either; instead, she indulged her temper and punished Mi Xi for a period of time.

Later, Mi Xi gradually calmed down and it was clear that she regretted it, so Bai Lu slowly stopped.

She harbored hatred and resentment, but she always remembered the princess's teachings to them:

One cannot do good without limits, but one must never do evil either.

While Mi Xi has indeed committed an unforgivable mistake, the one who should seek justice from her is not Bai Lu.

Mi Xi had gotten used to Bai Lu's behavior, even though Bai Lu never smiled at her and her attitude was never good.

But she still felt that among all the people on the boat, Bailu was the most approachable.

Because they share the same sorrowful aura, those who breathe the same air are close.

Looking at the food in front of her, and then at the white dew in the corner of the room, Mi Xi stretched out her small, thin hand, which was weak from resisting the demonic energy on the ship, and picked up her bowl and chopsticks to eat slowly.
