"Get out of the way!"
The woman on horseback, dressed in simple and neat clothes, suddenly changed her expression and kept pulling on the horse's reins.
However, the horse completely ignored her control, its hooves thrashing wildly as it charged towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian's eyes narrowed, and she first protected Da Bao and Er Bao beside her. Then she raised her hand and drew a talisman in the air.
"Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Stop!"
As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, the wild horse seemed to be affected by something and stopped right in front of Xu Nian.
However, due to inertia, the woman on horseback leaned forward uncontrollably, then fell off the horse with a thud, and finally pounced towards Xu Nian.
"Danger!"
The woman shouted, and a hint of hesitation flashed in Xu Nian's eyes.
If she had dodged, the people behind her and the woman would have been injured.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian secretly made a hand seal, wrapped his body with magic power, and braced himself to accept the woman.
"thump!"
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xu Nian collapsed to the ground, the woman lying on top of him.
"Excuse me!"
The woman quickly stepped aside, glancing at the bloody wound on Xu Nian's knee with guilt in her eyes, "If it weren't for the gemstone, you wouldn't have done this."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian waved her hand and asked in return, "Gemstones?"
The woman suddenly realized, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nilu, and this is my horse, Gem."
As she spoke, she pointed to the horse that had quieted down beside her, her face showing regret, "Gemstone is usually very obedient, but I don't know what happened today, it suddenly went berserk."
Xu Nian looked over and her brows furrowed slightly.
Immediately afterward, to Nilu's slightly shocked gaze, Xu Nian raised her hand slightly and muttered something under her breath.
"All phenomena arrive in succession, nothingness dissipates, break!"
Instantly, a thick cloud of smoke rose from the horse.
"Cough cough cough."
Nilu coughed involuntarily, her face showing hesitation.
What's going on?
Before she could ask anything, Xu Nian spoke up leisurely, "It was poisoned, which is why it's so agitated. I just detoxified it, so it should be fine now."
As she spoke, Xu Nian suddenly gasped and looked down at her.
Bright red blood was slowly flowing from his knee.
This body is ultimately too frail.
Xu Nian was lost in thought when she looked up and met Nilu's self-reproachful gaze. She couldn't help but say, "It's not your fault, it's my own fault for not dodging."
"No, it's my fault!"
Nilu shook her head and quickly used her body to support Xu Nian as they slowly began to walk. "Come back with me first, and I'll find someone to treat you."
Xu Nian really wanted to say that she could heal herself, but seeing Nilu's kind-hearted appearance, she didn't say it.
She gave the villagers behind her a look, and they immediately followed.
"By the way, how did you end up here? Are you perhaps refugees fleeing famine?"
As Nilu walked, she inquired about Xu Nian's situation.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded, "That's right, exactly. If we want to get there, we have to cross the grassland. We found you while we were hesitating."
Upon hearing that they were to cross the grassland, Nilu's eyes seemed to dim for a moment, but then her smile returned. "Anyway, let me find you a place to rest first."
Xu Nian nodded gently, then looked around at the scenery.
This place is a vast grassland, with lush green grass and horses and sheep everywhere, showing no signs of famine like other places.
Xu Nian sighed to herself, "There's not a trace of famine here."
Upon hearing this, Nilu looked somewhat embarrassed and said with a bitter smile, "Only the grasslands we love are left like this."
[Only left? Are they also facing a dire situation?]
[She seems to have a lot of unspeakable troubles. Should the host ask her?]
[These are all unspeakable difficulties, so the streamer certainly won't make things difficult for her.]
The comments section erupted with speculation about what Nel had said.
Xu Nian glanced at the fleeting sadness on her face but didn't say anything.
After all, everyone has secrets they don't want others to know.
"arrive."
While she was pondering, Nilu exclaimed and pointed with a smile at the yurt-like thing in front of her.
"Wow, sister, what's this?!"
Da Bao and Er Bao had never seen such a house before, and they immediately rushed over with screams, touching and looking at everything.
"Come back quickly," Xu Nian called to them with a smile, "Don't cause them any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Da Bao and Er Bao quickly returned to Xu Nian's side, grinning and saying, "Sorry~"
“It’s nothing,” Nilu said, shaking her head as she looked at the two adorable dolls.
"This place was originally intended for you to stay in. There are empty rooms around here, so you can stay wherever you like. Although it's a bit small, at least it will keep you out of the wind and rain."
Nilu bowed slightly apologetically.
Xu Nian quickly helped her up, saying, "We're already very grateful to you for giving us a place to stay, please don't say that."
"No, as a clan princess, I not only failed to take good care of the guests from afar, but also caused you to be injured because of me and to treat my horse. I am truly ashamed."
As Nilu spoke, she bowed to Xu Nian again, "I apologize once again for what happened earlier."
Xu Nian stood there, stunned, for a long time before she came to her senses.
What incredible luck! The woman she casually rescued turned out to be the princess of this minority tribe!
Wow, a living princess! I've never seen one before!
[Hahaha, even the streamer is stunned. They definitely didn't expect Miss Nel to be of such high status.]
[That makes sense, though. Giving up the house to a streamer so easily means there must be some powerful backer!]
Unlike Xu Nian's surprise, Da Bao and Er Bao were completely excited, "Your Highness, you are Your Highness!"
The two children shouted and rushed to Nel, their eyes sparkling, "Your Highness, you are so beautiful!"
Nilu smiled as she accepted the child's sweet words, and then patted Da Bao's head, saying, "You're handsome too~"
"Me too! Me too!" Erbao retorted, not to be outdone.
Xu Nian looked at the two children clinging to Nilu with a dark expression, thinking to herself: Are Da Bao and Er Bao also obsessed with looks?
"Alright, stop bothering them."
Xu Nian stopped her in time, a smile appearing on her face, "Anyway, thank you."
Without Nilu, they would probably still be hesitating at the border, unsure whether to enter.
"Don't say that! I'll find someone to treat your wound right now!"
Nilu suddenly remembered that Xu Nian was still injured, and hurriedly got up to go out, but Xu Nian stopped her, "Wait a minute."
"I'm really fine now." As she spoke, Xu Nian pointed to her knee to show her.
Just as Nilu was about to speak, a deep male voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Your Highness."
Immediately afterwards, a burly man wearing a tiger skin walked in, glancing disdainfully at Xu Nian and the others in the room.
"How can someone of your stature converse so pleasantly with ordinary mortals?"
