While Mo Chen was training Li Nezha, Li Jing and Di Xin's group were also on their way.
As Di Xin rode on horseback, he constantly scanned the depths of the passing jungle, as if in this way he could find the injured girl he had once encountered...
Just as his gaze was fixed blankly on a certain spot, the sound of arguing came from ahead...
"Hey brat, stop blocking the way and get out of here!" The soldier in front said to a girl who was covered in dirt.
"I've walked for so long to get here, do you want me to leave so I can go back to where I started?" Su Xian'er said angrily. "You talk like you own the deer farm! Do you think this whole road belongs to you? You have no manners at all, and you even called me a brat, you must be out of your mind!" Su Xian'er said angrily.
"How dare you! Watch your tone!" The guard leading the troops drew his sword and pointed it at Su Xian'er.
Su Xian'er was immediately enraged. "What? You think you're so great just because you have a sword? Just because you have a sword doesn't mean you can act so cheaply! Come on, try to act cheap! Come on, come on! If you ever insult me, I'll curse your grandmother!"
Su Xian'er was furious. She had come out penniless and was starving, and she never expected to run into such an unreasonable group of people!
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with your vanguard? Why have you stopped moving?"
"Reporting to General Li, there's a beggar blocking the road ahead." The guard glanced at the filthy Su Xian'er and spoke with resentment.
It's not Su Xian'er's fault. Climbing through caves and jumping over walls made her look like a beggar, so it's understandable that people mistook her for one.
Li Jing glared at the soldier, then politely addressed Su Xian'er, "Miss, I'm so sorry. We were in a hurry and offended you earlier. Please forgive us."
Li Jing didn't recognize the disheveled Su Xian'er, but Su Xian'er recognized Li Jing at a glance, and her face lit up with joy. "General Li! It's you! It's me, Su Xian'er! Don't you remember me?"
Li Jing was taken aback and carefully examined Su Xian'er. It really was that girl!
"You, you are Su..." However, Li Jing's expression suddenly changed. Di Xin was going to the Su family to demand an explanation, but he didn't expect to meet Su Xian'er here. What should he do?
Seeing that Li Jing's expression was off, Su Xian'er looked bewildered. Had she done something wrong?
To everyone's surprise, Li Jing then spoke up, "Sorry, I don't know you. You'd better make way for us!"
"What?" Su Xian'er thought she had misheard.
"Did you hear me? Get out of here right now, or we'll have to use force!" the soldier said arrogantly.
Su Xian'er shouted angrily, "So you're all bandits! You think I'll be scared now? Let me tell you, this is the Emperor's land, and you're not allowed to bully the common people here!"
"How dare you!" Li Jing was startled upon hearing this, fearing that Di Xin would overhear, and hurriedly ordered, "Guards, take this woman away!"
Immediately, several people walked towards Su Xian'er.
"You, you stay away..." Su Xian'er was so frightened that she involuntarily retreated. She ran a few steps behind her but was caught up. She immediately shouted in panic, "My father is Protector Su! Who dares to touch me!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dignified voice suddenly rang out, "Stop!"
Su Xian'er was taken aback and turned around in surprise.
The crowd parted to make way for a man dressed in a black and gold robe, wearing a golden crown, with a long sword at his waist, and riding a black steed with an imposing air.
Su Xian'er looked at Di Xin in surprise. His sharp eyebrows exuded a kingly aura, and he stared at her with cold eyes. "You are Su Hu's daughter?"
Su Xian'er trembled with fear, but she suppressed her terror and met his gaze, saying proudly, "That's right! Su Hu is my father!"
Di Xin narrowed his eyes and coldly asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Su Xian'er!" Su Xian'er said crisply.
Su Xian'er's fearless gaze sent shivers down Li Jing's spine.
Di Xin dismounted and came to Su Xian'er, looking her over with interest. "Su Xian'er?"
"Yes, yes... what?" Su Xian'er was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly.
"hehe."
Di Xin's smile was eerie, causing Su Xian'er to slump to the ground, overwhelmed by a soul-deep fear.
Di Xin looked down at Su Xian'er, who was covered in dirt, and curled his lip. "I never thought that someone as smart as Su Hu would have a daughter like you who deserted in the face of battle!"
Upon hearing this, Su Xian'er raised her head and looked at Di Xin with a blank expression. "What, what did you say?"
"Hmph, isn't that right? Knowing that I was going to the Su family, you secretly ran away. If you didn't desert in the face of battle, then what were you?" Di Xin sneered.
Su Xian'er suddenly stood up, a move that startled the surrounding guards, who quickly surrounded her.
Su Xian'er glanced at the guards watching her warily, and couldn't help but sneer, "And what about you?"
Di Xin narrowed his eyes as he looked at Su Xian'er's disdainful and contemptuous gaze.
"You're just hiding behind others, using them as shields! Who do you think you are? Are you the king? Even the king doesn't have the right to control everyone's life and death!" Su Xian'er shouted. "Shouldn't the current king be acting like a sage? He wouldn't be like you, relentlessly harassing a passing commoner!"
Seeing Su Xian'er's serious attitude, Di Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
How interesting!
There are actually women like this in the world, who are not afraid of power, not afraid of life and death, and not afraid of themselves!
Di Xin looked at Su Xian'er with burning eyes, "Su Xian'er, you are Su Hu's daughter, aren't you?"
Su Xian'er snorted coldly, "Hmph, that's right. In my father's territory, I won't let you bandits cause trouble! I advise you to go back to where you came from!"
"Miss Su, you've misunderstood..." Li Jing was speechless. This girl actually mistook them for bandits!
"I haven't even said anything to you yet! You, a great general, are actually associating with bandits!" Su Xian'er said angrily, pointing at Li Jing.
"Hahahaha!" Di Xin laughed wildly; this girl was truly hilarious!
Su Xian'er glared angrily at Di Xin, "What's so funny!"
"Ha, I've suddenly changed my mind! Minister Li, prepare the betrothal gifts immediately. I'm going to the Su family to propose marriage to this dirty little beggar!"
"Huh?" Li Jing was stunned and didn't react.
Su Xian'er looked at Di Xin in surprise. "Huh? You mean... me? Could it be that you are?!"
"My name is Di Xin, the King of the Shang Kingdom! And you, Su Xian'er—you will be my beloved concubine!"
"What?!" Su Xian'er stood there dumbfounded.
At this moment, Su Xian'er was unaware that her rash act had already caused a great disaster!
