Not long after Feng Qinghuang left, two more figures appeared in the same spot.
Mu Yanzheng watched Feng Qinghuang depart with great interest. This little girl had quite a temper, cutting people's fingers at the drop of a hat, completely different from her outward appearance. But he liked her. Even though she was close to Rong Qi and the Crown Prince, it didn't stop him from admiring her.
"Go and wake the person on the ground and take them with you; they might be useful. I'm going first; you hurry and catch up."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The woman speaking was clearly Chunhe, Mu Xuewei's maid.
The two met by sheer coincidence as soon as they entered the secret realm. Chunhe was naturally delighted, but whether Mu Yanzheng was happy or not was unknown.
Chunhe went to help You Moyao up from the ground, while Mu Yanzheng quickened his pace to catch up with Feng Qinghuang.
Feng Qinghuang walked for almost a day without seeing anyone else. Feeling a bit hungry, she took out the leftover meat from the previous night, shaved some branches, skewered it, and roasted it over the fire.
"You've been following me all day, aren't you coming out yet? If you don't come out soon, the meat will be ready."
Mu Yanzheng knew that the little girl had already discovered him, but she hadn't paid any attention to him. Now, hearing her voice, he naturally stepped out from behind the tree.
"You little brat, aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?"
Feng Qinghuang focused on grilling the meat, not even glancing at him: "I'm not afraid even if you're a bad guy. It's not like I can't beat you. Besides, if you wanted to do something bad, you would have done it already. Why are you following me around all day?"
Mu Yanzheng sat down next to her, stared at her intently for a while, then picked up the meat next to him and started grilling it as well.
"You're really confident, aren't you?"
Feng Qinghuang glanced at him: "What's wrong with having confidence in yourself? The real problem is when you doubt yourself. How can you expect others to believe you then? And don't compare yourself to others. Everyone is an independent individual, everyone is a different being, and every being has its own value. How can you guarantee that your current life isn't what others expect?"
Mu Yanzheng felt that the little girl's words had a hidden meaning: "You want me to reconcile with the Crown Prince?"
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "I don't care about the things between you and your senior brother. As long as your personal grudges don't involve the interests of the country, you can do whatever you want. But if it involves the country, then I think the citizens of every country will not stand idly by."
"You're a really funny girl."
This little girl was simply warning him that if his efforts to strike at Mu Weiliang involved the diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Tianzhu and the Kingdom of Qinglong, she might not be speaking to him so calmly as she was now.
Feng Qinghuang looked at the roasted meat and was overjoyed: "Haha, the meat is ready, I'm so hungry!"
Feng Qinghuang took out her sauce, spread it on the grilled meat, and then quickly started eating.
"Wow, this is delicious! Do you want some sauce?"
Mu Yanzheng looked at the object in the small, porcelain-white hand, hesitating, wondering if it was drugged. He had always been wary of those who might harm him, and this moment was no exception.
"This sauce is something I developed myself. It tastes amazing on grilled meat. Don't worry, I'm not so bored as to poison this sauce; that would be too tasteless."
Feng Qinghuang handed him the sauce, then focused on eating the grilled meat in her hand.
Mu Yanzheng took the porcelain bottle, held it to his nose and smelled it; it was indeed very fragrant.
Mu Yanzheng decided to believe Feng Qinghuang's words this time, so he spread the sauce on the grilled meat and began his dinner.
Putting everything else aside, the grilled meat coated with sauce was absolutely delicious; Mu Yanzheng had never eaten such delicious grilled meat before.
Mu Yanzheng ate with gusto, completely forgetting Chunhe and You Moyao who were following behind him.
The two women could only stand a short distance away, munching on dry rations, and glaring resentfully at Feng Qinghuang.
You Moyao glared at Feng Qinghuang with resentful eyes. This bitch dared to cut off her finger; she would get her revenge sooner or later.
Chunhe wore a jealous expression. This woman was actually sitting with His Highness, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, making His Highness forget his own existence. How could she not be jealous?
Feng Qinghuang didn't care about anyone else. After eating her fill, she prepared to rest.
"You better keep an eye on those two people you're with, or I won't hold back."
After Feng Qinghuang finished speaking, she leaped onto a tree branch, preparing to lie down and rest.
Mu Yanzheng glanced at the distance and then turned back: "Don't worry, they wouldn't dare."
Of course, Feng Qinghuang wasn't completely unprepared. When she jumped up into the tree, she woke up Xiao Yinzi and had it keep watch for her.
Little Silver was groggily woken up, looked around at its surroundings, and then snuggled back to sleep on Feng Qinghuang's wrist, but it didn't forget Feng Qinghuang's instructions.
Mu Yanzheng rested under the tree, while also protecting Feng Qinghuang on the tree.
He's only just started to get interested in this little girl, he can't let anything happen to her.
