Ji Xian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll protect you, but I don't want to be a bodyguard."
Chavalana's eyes lit up: "It's wonderful that you're willing to protect me. I'll grant you any request you have."
Ji Xian said, "My requirement is that our relationship is not that of bodyguard and employer, but that of friends."
Chavalana laughed and said, "Okay, from now on, you're my best friend. My name is Chavalana, what's your name?"
"Ji Xian".
Ji Xian already knew her name. He glanced at the time; it was already quite late.
Ji Xian then asked, "Should I take you home now?"
Chavalana shook her head: "I'm not going back."
"So where are you going now?"
"It's too late now, I'll go to your place to rest for the night."
"Huh?" Ji Xian's eyes widened. "Is it appropriate for a princess like you to be in my room, a grown man?"
Chavalana said indifferently, "You saved me twice. In our country, this is a debt of gratitude that will be entangled in the next life. So even if you want to do something to me, I will have no complaints. Consider it as repaying the debt of gratitude in advance in this life."
"Huh?!" Ji Xian opened his mouth wide in shock. Then, thinking that their country was religious, it was not surprising that he could say such a thing. Ji Xian said seriously, "Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others? Unless you are willing, I will not force you."
Chavalana said, "That settles it, doesn't it? You won't do anything to me, so why can't I go to your room?"
That makes perfect sense, and Ji Xian was speechless.
Chavalana added, "Besides, do you think I'll be safe if I go back to my room?"
Ji Xian shook his head: "It's probably...not safe."
Chavalana laughed: "That's it, so lead the way, my best friend."
Ji Xian: "..."
Ji Xian led Chavalana to the room.
Chavalana went straight to the bathroom and said, "Go and ask the ship's steward for two sets of clothes for me."
Ji Xian was speechless: "You're not being polite at all. I'm not your servant, so why are you ordering me around?"
"Just consider it a mutual help between friends, my best friend."
"You..." Ji Xian choked. Fine, you're ruthless. I'll let it go for you since you're a princess and a beauty.
Ji Xian went out to ask a servant for clothes.
He returned quickly, closed his eyes, and handed the clothes into the bathroom.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Chavalana came out and lay down on Ji Xian's bed.
Just as Ji Xian was about to say something, he noticed that Chavalana had fallen asleep and was making soft breathing sounds.
Ji Xian exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing! He fell asleep the moment he touched the bed."
Ji Xian was helpless, but luckily there was a sofa in the room, so she slept on the sofa for the night.
Chavalana slept soundly and comfortably.
She was so tired.
She was constantly on edge, but luckily Ji Xian saved her.
Ji Xian is not from the Lizard Kingdom and is not easily bribed by his brother, so she trusts Ji Xian very much.
It was precisely because of this trust that she was able to sleep peacefully.
I slept soundly until dawn.
Chavalana got up, stretched, glanced at Ji Xian sleeping on the sofa, and couldn't help but smile.
This guy really keeps his promise; she wasn't wrong, this man is truly a good person.
Their country is a well-known religious country, and she believes in fate. Ji Xian saved her twice, so their fate must be very deep, and everything must be arranged by God.
She followed Ji Xian, naturally for this reason as well.
Ji Xian woke up soon after.
The two decided to go have breakfast together.
Chavalana wore a purple outfit yesterday, which gave her a very exotic look.
Today I'm wearing a white tulle maxi dress with a light purple shawl over it, which looks very casual.
Chavalana had a habit of wearing jewels in her hair, but Ji Xian dissuaded her, saying, "Very few people here wear jewels in their hair. You'll attract too much attention."
Chavalana thought for a moment and then decided not to wear it. Like a girl next door, she left the room with Ji Xian.
After having breakfast at the restaurant, Chavalana asked Ji Xian to accompany her to run errands.
Ji Xian followed her and discovered that Chavalana was searching for something everywhere, exploring all the entertainment venues in the area.
Ji Xian asked, "Weren't you supposed to be on business? What are you doing wandering around like this?"
"Looking for someone."
As soon as Chavalana finished speaking, her eyes lit up as she spotted her target.
She rushed over.
Ji Xian saw that her target was a middle-aged man who looked very familiar. He was clearly one of the gold merchants in the hall yesterday.
It turns out that Chavalana's so-called "business" involved buying gold from these gold merchants.
Yesterday in the hall, because her brother was there, she didn't dare to freely discuss things with the gold merchant in front of him, as that would only make her brother want to get rid of her even faster.
Chavalana discussed the purchase of gold with the merchant, while Ji Xian remained uninvolved.
He heard Chavalana say that all her funds totaled only one hundred million.
Her statement was similar to what her brother had said yesterday: she hoped the merchants would support her and help her ascend the throne.
It's quite obvious that the merchants' attitude is the same as yesterday: they'll sell you gold for whatever price you have, and you can't expect them to use any fancy stuff to get something for nothing.
The businessman turned and left.
Chavalana was not discouraged and took Ji Xian everywhere to search for a second gold merchant.
