At that very moment.
Suddenly a girl stood in their way.
He drew his sword and confronted the wolf.
"You beast! Get out of here!"
The wolf seemed to be intimidated by her imposing presence.
He turned and left.
The woman turned around and looked at Ye Qianqian.
Are you alright?
Ye Qianqian shook her head.
"It's alright, thank you."
"It's nothing, I'm just glad you're alright."
The woman glanced at the little flower in Ye Qianqian's arms.
"What an adorable little dumpling."
"Huh?" Ye Qianqian was taken aback.
"I mean, it's round, and it looks like a steamed bun."
Ye Qianqian said with a smile.
"yes."
But I began to feel alarmed.
[The term "milk dumpling" doesn't even belong in this timeline!]
[When I was in the Heavenly Realm, I saw a book belonging to the Emperor about the future.]
["Milk dumpling" is a term used by postmodern humans a thousand years from now to describe a metal-eating beast!]
Could this woman be from a world a thousand years in the future?
[Interesting, I actually encountered a time-traveling woman here!]
So, what was her purpose in coming here?
I don't know why, but she made me feel very uncomfortable, especially the way she looked at Xiaohua. Even though she was smiling, her eyes sent chills down my spine!
I must get to the bottom of this!
"Are you from Xinyan City?" Ye Qianqian asked.
“Yes!” The woman nodded.
"Sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Xie Ting."
"Wow, what a lovely name! 'Graceful and elegant' perfectly describes you, sister."
Xie Ting smiled.
"You look young, but you're very eloquent!"
"In Xinyan City, there is only one family with the surname Xie! Could it be that you are the daughter of the Xie Yu family?"
“Exactly.” Xie Ting nodded.
"Judging from your appearance, you are also a martial artist! May I ask your name?"
"Mochi!"
Xie Ting heard the name Mo Chi.
He frowned.
He quickly regained his previous expression.
"So this is the famous Ink Pond! I've heard so much about it!"
"No, no."
These two are acting like they're performing a comedy routine!
Ye Qianqian deliberately asked Xie Ting.
"Sister, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
"Oh, I heard that there are iron-eating beasts around here, so I wanted to come and see! I didn't expect to be so lucky as to actually encounter one."
Ye Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, we're really lucky."
Xiao Hua saw Xie Ting.
But she cowered in Ye Qianqian's arms in fear.
This deepened Ye Qianqian's suspicions about Xie Ting.
What exactly is this woman's purpose?
If only I could hear her thoughts! Unfortunately, even if my magical powers were fully restored, I wouldn't have that ability!
We can only investigate little by little now!
Let's start with Xie Yu! He was personally appointed a prince by Xiao Duanzi, and he has connections to the previous dynasty's royal family. We need to investigate him thoroughly.
"Sister, I'm taking the bamboo home now. Come visit me anytime you have time!"
"What's your name?" Xie Ting asked.
"Ye Qianqian".
"Oh? You are the princess of the current dynasty!" Xie Ting immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Princess!"
"No need for formalities, sister."
Xie Ting stood up.
"The princess is just as the legend says, she's really cute!"
"Sister, you're beautiful too!"
"This humble subject dares not be addressed by the princess in such a manner."
"It's alright. I came to Xinyan City as an ordinary citizen, so there's no need to treat me like a princess!"
"Alright, sister, I should go home now! I'm at the Ye residence. Come visit me anytime!"
"Okay! Bye-bye!"
"Um?"
"See you next time!"
"Um!"
[This is a modern way of saying goodbye! I knew it, something was definitely wrong with her!]
On the way back.
Ye Qianqian said to Mo Chi.
"Mo Chi, don't tell your brother about meeting Sister Xie Ting."
"Why?" Mo Chi asked.
"Because Sister Xie Ting is very beautiful, I'm afraid that after my brother falls in love with her at first sight, he'll only be busy talking about love every day and forget about important matters."
[Hmph, I'm going to investigate this woman!]
Mo Chi said it on purpose.
"His Highness is not the kind of person who would be obsessed with love."
Ye Qianqian pouted.
"Who knows? It's better to be safe than sorry!"
Mo Chi nodded.
"I understand."
After Ye Qianqian went back.
He sat on the bed, holding Xiaohua, and began to think.
"Xiaohua, you seem quite afraid of Xie Ting, don't you?"
"Mm!" Xiaohua nodded.
Why are you afraid of it?
Xiaohua, of course, wouldn't answer.
She just huddled in Ye Qianqian's arms, trembling.
"Did she hurt you?"
"Yes!" Xiaohua nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I knew it! I knew she was up to no good!"
"Wait! Could it be that the reason your mother got into trouble last time wasn't because she was attacked by wolves, but because of Xie Ting?"
At that very moment.
An illusion appeared before Ye Qianqian.
She saw Xie Ting pacing back and forth in the room.
"It's like heaven is helping me! I never thought I'd actually find that little panda!"
