Chapter 164 Massaging Her
Xie Mianmian couldn't help but step on it to compare; the footprint of the unknown beast was three times larger than hers.
If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for a small, shallow pit.
Her fingers pressed gently on the footprint, carefully tracing its shape.
The beast's feet have five toes, which seem to be super-enlarged versions of human fingers, except that the thumb is separated from the other four toes, giving it a strange, deformed appearance.
The owner of the footprints must be a big guy. I don't know if he's friend or foe. If a fight breaks out, it will definitely be a fierce battle.
A cool night breeze blew by, and Xie Mianmian shivered. It was pitch black all around, with only the rustling of grass and trees.
She leaned close to the giant python, saying, "Let's go back quickly, it seems very dangerous here."
The python patted her back reassuringly with the tip of its tail, shook its head, and looked into the grass, indicating that it was watching over her and she was not afraid.
Here, the giant python did not sense the heat of the large beast, which had long since gone far away and posed no immediate threat to the Mian army.
Moreover, the issue of Mianmian needing a toilet hasn't been resolved yet.
DouDou looked at her disapprovingly. Why was this child so stubborn? Holding it in wasn't good for her health.
Xie Mianmian stood hesitantly in the grass. Just as she placed her hand on her dress, she heard the sound of grass being parted and people walking towards them.
She leaped out and hugged the giant python, her eyes fixed on the front. Could it be... that the giant beast has returned?!
The giant python, however, remained calm and composed.
A moment later, a man and a wolf emerged from the bushes.
Seeing the sixth princess and the black wolf, who were squinting with sleep, Xie Mianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why have you been out for so long?"
"Your Highness, come quickly and see what this is?"
Xie Mianmian led them to the location of the giant beast's footprints. Upon seeing this, the Sixth Princess instantly woke up from her drowsy state.
She observed for a while, then followed the direction of the footprints and said solemnly, "It went northeast. After crossing a mountain, you'll reach Yuancheng."
Xie Mianmian and the Sixth Princess looked at each other and said, "I hope it's just heading towards that mountain."
Instead of harming the people without cause.
Xie Mianmian said to the black wolf with a worried expression, "After we get back, send two clever beasts to track it down and see what it's up to."
Black Wolf agreed.
She stopped worrying about it and, with the remote protection of one person, one wolf, and one snake, Xie Mianmian finished relieving herself with a flushed face.
When she came out, her toes were constantly digging into the ground. She didn't dare to talk to them and silently walked back to the carriage.
The next day, without much preparation, the wild animals stood up, shook their heads, and set off full of energy.
The Sixth Princess continued riding a horse. She wanted to invite Xie Mianmian to ride with her, but she politely declined.
"No need for Your Highness to trouble yourself, I'll stay in the carriage."
If I were to endure another morning of bumpy travel on horseback, I'm afraid I would be ruined.
Xie Mianmian looked at the Sixth Princess with envy. How could someone always have such good energy and spirit, like an iron man who never gets tired?
She sat with her legs slightly apart. After yesterday's horseback ride, although it was exhilarating, her body was in terrible shape, with a burning pain in her inner thighs.
Her bottom hurt too. Xie Mianmian whimpered and obediently lay there, not wanting to move an inch.
Under the blazing sun, this massive beast army arrived at its destination—the military camp.
As soon as Xie Mianmian stepped off the carriage, she saw the Seventh Prince standing at the very front of the group of people who came to greet her.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Seventh Prince said, "Gao Wei, take the Mian Army down to reorganize."
“Yes.” Gao Wei responded, reluctantly withdrawing his gaze from the opposite side and gesturing to the majestic herd of beasts before him, “Please follow me.”
He had thought these wild beasts were uncivilized and difficult to communicate with, but to his surprise, the lead beast followed his lead as soon as he spoke.
"They really understand human nature," Gao Wei felt much relieved. They had only received an urgent report from the court yesterday evening regarding the Mian Army, and he had been secretly worried about it for a long time.
I was terrified they would eat their fellow soldiers, but as expected of soldiers trained by Mianmian, they were very obedient.
If it weren't for Xie Mianmian, probably no one could have suppressed this group of fierce and wild beasts.
The Seventh Prince frowned and stared at Xie Mianmian. The others, seeing that they were unharmed, wisely left.
Xie Mianmian walked with her legs apart, hiding behind the Sixth Princess, not daring to look him in the eye.
"The deputy general and the strategist are currently in the tent. Would you like to go and discuss this with them, Sixth Sister?"
Ignoring Xie Mianmian's attempts to pull her away, the Sixth Princess said, "This matter is of great importance, so of course I must go."
However, she didn't abandon Xie Mianmian; instead, she wanted to take her hand and leave together.
The Seventh Prince strode to Xie Mianmian's side and, before they could react, swept her up in his arms.
Xie Mianmian exclaimed in surprise and looked helplessly at the Seventh Prince.
The Sixth Princess gritted her teeth and said, "Seventh Prince, what are you trying to do? She is the commander, not someone you can bully at will!"
“You arrived a full day earlier than expected. She almost limped because of the journey, didn’t you notice?”
The Sixth Princess watched as Xie Mianmian turned her head away evasively, biting her lower lip in annoyance. Yes, she was different from Xie Mianmian. She was too carefree and had neglected Xie Mianmian's physical condition.
The Seventh Prince walked towards a tent, and Xie Mianmian could only watch helplessly as he was taken away, clinging to his neck.
She shouted loudly at the Sixth Princess, "It's because I'm weak, it has nothing to do with Your Highness! You must come and save me!"
"Shut up."
A brief tremor came from the chest beneath my head, followed by a strong, powerful heartbeat, thump-thump.
Xie Mianmian calmed down, her senses a complex mix. On one hand, she was afraid of the Seventh Prince's reprimand, but on the other hand, she felt a strange sense of peace.
Like two distinct rivers, two feelings collide but do not merge.
Xie Mianmian counted his heartbeats, and soon they arrived at a tent.
The Seventh Prince carefully placed her on the bed, and Xie Mianmian was forced into a sharp aura; this was the Seventh Prince's tent.
She awkwardly sat up, supporting herself with her hands behind her back.
The man sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and pulled Xie Mianmian's legs onto his lap.
The warm fingertips pressed firmly against the acupoint on her leg.
Xie Mianmian felt a sudden pain in her calf, and her face contorted in pain. "Your Highness, be gentle, it hurts!"
The man's merciless iron hand did not pause for a moment. "Too gentle and it won't have any effect."
Xie Mianmian's hands could no longer support her, and her upper body slowly slumped down, lying on her back.
It must be said that the Seventh Prince's skills were truly excellent. After the pain came a comfortable and pleasant feeling, and Xie Mianmian stopped struggling and closed her eyes to enjoy his massage.
Those large hands moved up her calves, massaging her thigh muscles.
Xie Mianmian couldn't help but kick her leg. "It's so itchy."
