Ye Wuchen had never thought that he would one day take on the role of an 'escort'. He didn't want to be an escort. He also had to take on the role of protecting and teaching her … who asked her to be his fiancée in name … even though he didn't want to admit it at all. And that Flying Phoenix probably didn't even know the true meaning of marriage.
When Ye Wuchen started to move towards the Flying Phoenix Palace, a palace maid had already hurried over and shouted in a low voice in front of the Flying Phoenix Palace: "Princess, he's here."
Long Huang 'er's excited voice immediately came from inside: "All of you, hurry and leave. No one is allowed to come near. No matter what you hear, you are not allowed to come over!"
The palace maid hurriedly responded and silently mourned for the future son-in-law in her heart. Every time Flying Phoenix gave this order, someone would be in big trouble. The few gentlemen that the emperor had invited for her in the past were examples of people who were more pitiful than the last. The emperor could only smile bitterly and couldn't harden his heart to blame her.
The palace maid kept her head down and didn't dare to look at Ye Wuchen. Her footsteps were clearly hurried and she finally brought Ye Wuchen to the front of the Flying Phoenix Palace. She bowed and said in a low voice: "Young master, the princess is waiting for you inside. This servant will take her leave. "
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Ye Wuchen's response and left in a hurry as if she was running away.
Ye Wuchen shook his head in amusement. He walked to the door and knocked, saying: "Your Highness, Wuchen requests an audience."
"Come in, come in quickly!" Flying Phoenix's reply was immediately heard. Her tone didn't sound like she couldn't wait.
Ye Wuchen had just pressed his hand on the door when he felt the dense water elements in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched. After determining the location, he pushed the door open, closed it, and pushed it open again … … After a series of actions in one go, he slowly walked in.
The bucket that was originally propped up on top of the door first fell down. Then, it was violently knocked by the door, drawing a beautiful arc as it flew out. Unfortunately, it flew towards the little princess who was in high spirits. What was even more unfortunate was that the bucket of water tilted just as it was about to reach the princess's head … Instantly, the bucket of cold water splashed onto the little princess's body, drenching the flying phoenix from head to toe.
With a shocked expression, Ye Wuchen stepped over the glass beads in front of the door as if he was walking on flat ground. He ran to the Flying Phoenix who had been drenched silly and asked with concern, "Princess, how did you get so wet? What if you catch a cold?"
Princess Feihuang shivered uncontrollably from the cold water. She blinked her eyes pitifully a few times before bursting into tears. At this moment, a strong gust of wind came from the right side of Ye Wuchen.
This was a spotted snake that was less than a meter long. It was Flying Phoenix's personal pet, named Little Blossom. This spotted snake had been tamed by the best beast tamers in the palace and would never bite anyone. But ever since it fell into Flying Phoenix's hands, it had done a lot of work to scare people. At this moment, it shot towards Ye Wuchen like an arrow. The snake opened its mouth wide, revealing its two long and sharp poisonous fangs. This feint had scared countless people to the point of wetting their pants and running away while screaming. A few of the more timid ones almost fainted.
But now that it had met Ye Wuchen, it was destined to follow Long Huang 'er and suffer misfortune.
Unhurriedly, Ye Wuchen stretched out two fingers and accurately clamped onto the vital part of the snake's neck that was destined to be unlucky. The snake's body stiffened and suddenly became limp as if it had suddenly turned into a dead snake. With a face full of smiles, he said to the crying little princess, "So Your Highness also likes to play with snakes. May I know the name of this little spotted snake?"
As he spoke, he carelessly approached her with the little flower snake in his hand. For some reason, the originally limp snake suddenly struggled with all its might. The snake opened its mouth exaggeratedly and moved towards Long Huang 'er's face as Ye Wuchen's hand moved.
Long Huang 'er's face paled and she was so scared that she stopped crying. Although this spotted snake was a pet she used to scare people, she didn't even dare to look at it. This was because this kind of poisonous snake and insect was the natural nemesis of women. The snake's venomous mouth and fangs that kept approaching almost scared her out of her wits. Finally, she let out a scream. Ignoring her wet body, she ran out desperately. When she stepped on the glass balls at the door, her foot slipped, and her little butt fell heavily to the ground. The pain made her cry loudly again.
If it was in the past, the little princess's crying would have startled all the guards and maids in the room. But unfortunately, she had given an order that no one was allowed to come close, even if they heard any sound. So, there was no way for her to ask for help.
Ye Wuchen hurriedly followed and helped her up. He asked with concern, "Princess, what's wrong? Why did you run away as soon as you saw me? No matter what, your father has betrothed you to me. "
Before Long Huang 'er could say anything, she felt a slippery sensation on her hand. Turning her head to look, she was so frightened that she let out a scream. It turned out that the spotted snake had wrapped its tail around her hand while it was struggling.
"Throw it away … I'm afraid of snakes, I'm afraid of snakes …"
Long Huang 'er couldn't care about anything except for fear and grievance. Her face was covered with sparkling and translucent tears, as if she had suffered some kind of enormous grievance. Her hair and body were wet. She was in an extremely miserable state.
Ye Wuchen looked at the spotted snake in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Oh? But isn't this snake with the princess? Isn't it the princess's pet? "
"No … No … Quickly throw it away!" Long Huang 'er screamed in panic. Her body kept shrinking into Ye Wuchen's arms to drive away the coldness and fear in her heart. This was the first time she had suffered such a great grievance in her life.
Ye Wuchen flung his hand and threw the poor little snake to the ground. He then said with a smile, "Princess, snakes are not scary at all. Not only are they not scary, they are also very fun."
"You … you're lying!"
"Okay, then I'll show you. Watch carefully." Ye Wuchen pulled Long Huang 'er's body over and fixed his eyes on the spotted snake that was preparing to escape. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Now, let it form a very, very circle."
As Ye Wuchen's voice fell, which seemed to have a strange magical power, the spotted snake actually curled its body slowly, and the curvature became larger and larger. In the end, the snake's head bit onto the snake's tail, and as it constantly adjusted itself, it formed a standard circle in front of the little princess.
"Do you see it?"
Long Huang 'er's small mouth opened wide and her eyes widened. She was so shocked that she even forgot to cry and the chill on her body.
"Now, turn it into two circles."
A dim light flashed in Ye Wuchen's eyes. His soul force could give the simplest soul suggestion to an ordinary person, but it couldn't control their body. However, it wasn't too difficult to control such a small snake.
The spotted snake's body immediately moved quickly as if it was being controlled. Soon, it coiled into a standard figure eight.
"Then … turn it into a boat." Ye Wuchen chuckled and looked at Long Huang 'er's obviously stunned expression with satisfaction.
The spotted snake's body unfolded and its tail extended horizontally. The middle of its body was flat and concave, forming the shape of a boat.
"Now, let's do something a little more difficult … Let's do a square."
"… Hmm, let's do something even more difficult. Circle it into a small pentagram."
… …
"Finally, make it into a heart."
When the spotted snake finally used its body to form a passable heart shape, it was already tortured to the point where it wished it was dead. Meanwhile, Long Huang 'er's eyes grew brighter and brighter. It was as if there were two shining stars embedded in her eyes. Little girls like her, whose brains hadn't fully developed yet, loved new and interesting things. This spotted snake's performance was so novel to her that it couldn't be any more novel. At this moment, she no longer looked at the little snake with fear in her eyes.
"How was it? Was it fun?"
"Fun … But, you … How did you do it? Why can it understand you?"
Turning around, she felt a chill all over her body again. She shivered violently and tears almost fell out of her eyes. She could only subconsciously shrink into Ye Wuchen's arms because his chest was filled with the warmth she needed the most. Of course, it wasn't the normal kind of warmth. Ye Wuchen used a small amount of fire element to make the air around him abnormally warm, like the sudden arrival of summer.
"This … I can't tell you."
Long Huang 'er's mouth flattened and tears welled up in her eyes. She completely forgot that this spotted snake was originally used by her to scare Ye Wuchen. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and pitifully tried to dispel the chill on her body.
Ye Wuchen's hands brushed through her hair and used the power of water to remove the water stains on it. Then, he used a stream of heat to wash away the remaining chill. His hands slowly moved downwards and slowly removed the water stains and coldness from her body. He scolded, "Princess, there are so many fun things out there. Why do you have to play with water? What if you catch a cold?"
Long Huang 'er stared blankly at the pair of hands that seemed to have some kind of magical power touching her noble body. She completely forgot to resist. She wanted to say that she didn't play with water at all, but when she thought about how the water came to be, she could only wrinkle her nose and swallow her grievance. She stubbornly said, "I … I just like to play with water … because there's nothing fun in the palace …"
"How can that be? There are actually a lot of fun things, you just haven't found them yet. Look … "
Ye Wuchen stretched his left hand in front of Long Huang 'er's eyes and opened it. There was nothing in his palm. He slowly closed his hand and then quickly opened it again. In his palm was a delicate and beautiful pink flower that still had some dew on it.
Before Long Huang 'er could cry out in surprise, Ye Wuchen closed his hand again. When he opened it again, there was nothing. When he closed it again, the pink flower appeared again. Long Huang 'er's eyes shone like stars. She couldn't help but reach out and hold it in her hands. "Isn't this the Flying Phoenix Flower in my courtyard?"
Flying Phoenix Flower? The little princess must have come up with the name herself. Ye Wuchen thought. He had plucked it when he passed by the front courtyard and put it into the Divine Sword Ring. Then, he easily used the Divine Sword Ring to create this "magic" that didn't require any technique, but could easily attract the little princess's attention.
