"Waaah... Your Highness..."
Situ Xue held onto Nan Xiao's waist tightly, refusing to let go.
When she first entered the Jialuo Academy, she knew that Nanxiao was the crown prince. She had never looked down on princes from countries like Qi.
Originally, her father wanted her to marry into the Feng Kingdom, but unfortunately, no one from the Feng Kingdom went to the Jialuo Academy, so she set her sights on Nanxiao.
Nanxiao was always such aloof person, like an immortal who had never tasted worldly food.
Her temperament is gentle and refined, making people feel comfortable when they are around her.
Undeniably, Nan Xiao's appearance was outstanding, so handsome that Situ Xue secretly fell in love with him and gradually became enamored.
Nan Xiao said softly, "I still have matters to attend to with Miss Mo. Crown Princess, please let go first, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Xue's eyes widened in surprise. "Your Highness, why are you still going to find her? Didn't you see she hurt me?"
"She's just putting on an act."
Nan Xiao spoke indifferently, always carrying an air of aloofness, as if no one had ever set foot in his territory.
"My face is bleeding! Is this what you call putting on a show?" Situ Xue cried out in anger, her uninjured left cheek pressed tightly against Nan Xiao's chest.
Nan Xiao's gaze was gentle as he glanced lightly at Situ Xue in his arms. He then pulled her away from his embrace with great force, leaving no room for argument.
Situ Xue looked up at Nan Xiao in disbelief, only to hear him say gently, "If she really wanted to hurt you, you wouldn't be standing here like this."
"Can!"
"Someone, escort the Crown Princess back to rest, and have the Imperial Hospital staff examine her injuries."
After saying these words, Nan Xiao strode away, exuding elegance and grace.
A maid stepped forward to help Situ Xue, but she slapped her away.
"Get out! Are you all laughing at me? Get out!"
The maidservant retreated in fear and knelt on the ground, covering her burning face, not daring to make a sound or go forward again.
...
Mo Shisheng didn't go far after leaving. She stopped by a lake, her gaze fixed on the water, which was cold and still.
Nan Xiao followed from behind and saw this scene. The woman stood slender but upright by the lake, wearing a white dress and with her long black hair flowing down her back, creating a stunningly beautiful sight.
He didn't say anything, but stepped forward quietly and stood beside Mo Shisheng.
Mo Shisheng knew that the person who came was Nan Xiao, but she didn't turn around or intend to say anything.
The two of them had faced each other on the battlefield not long ago, so it was impossible for Mo Shisheng to talk to him calmly again.
"The border defenses of the Qi Kingdom have been breached."
Nan Xiao began with this sentence, and without caring whether the girl was listening, he continued, "Soon, the Qi Kingdom will cease to exist."
Does it no longer exist?
Mo Shisheng smiled faintly, glanced at Nan Xiao, and their eyes met in mid-air.
The girl's peach blossom eyes shimmered with a captivating light, exceptionally bright and clear. Being looked at like that, it seemed as if all ugliness had nowhere to hide.
A cool breeze blew by, and Mo Shisheng spoke at this moment, her voice becoming ethereal in the cold wind.
"I've never thought of you as a simple person. Southern Prince, you were the one who lured the beast souls to Cloud Mist Ridge. Was your purpose to test my strength?"
Nan Xiao's eyes remained clear and bright. He nodded slightly and draped the thick cloak over Mo Shisheng's shoulders.
