Ping Ping was sent over. Seeing that Jun Xiqing was safe and sound, Ping Ping burst into tears of joy and cried for a long time.
Jun Xiqing sat on the bed and took off her robe, revealing her snow-white shoulder.
Her shoulder was scratched by the eight-clawed iron hooks, leaving behind a few deep bloody scars. The young girl's soft and delicate skin was sparkling and translucent, but now a few bloody scars ruined the beauty.
Ping Ping changed the dressing carefully and said worriedly, "Your Highness, the wound on your shoulder will heal, but I'm afraid it will leave a scar in the future. When we return to the President's residence, I must find a good medicine to remove it!"
"Alright, I'll leave it to Ping Ping."
At this moment, the sounds of singing and dancing could be heard from outside. Jun Xiqing's eyes lit up. "Ping Ping, let's go out and play."
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, you're not wearing a bra."
Jun Xiqing's shoulder was injured and it wasn't convenient for her to wear a bra with straps, so she decided not to wear one.
She clutched her collar tightly with both hands and smiled. "That's enough. No one will be able to tell."
Jun Xiqing pulled Ping Ping out.
…
At the bonfire banquet.
A small bonfire was lit on the lawn and the tribesmen were drinking, chatting and dancing.
"Miss Jun, this is our home-brewed rice wine. Please have some," one of the tribesmen said warmly.
Jun Xiqing took a sip of the wine. "Mm, it's really delicious."
"We brewed this when the Holy Lady Dongfang family gave birth to the new Holy Lady. It's been 23 years now."
"Isn't the new Holy Lady Dongfang Ruoli?" Jun Xiqing asked.
The old tribesman shook his head. "The current Holy Lady, Dongfang Ruoli, was chosen. The real Holy Lady disappeared 23 years ago."
What?
This was the first time Jun Xiqing had heard of this story.
The old tribesman sank into his memories and sighed. "23 years ago, when the new Holy Lady was born, the sky was filled with the glow of dawn. This was an auspicious sign. This new Holy Lady was born with the Phoenix Queen's destiny and was extremely precious.
"At that time, we were overjoyed. The entire Sacred Maiden Tribe reveled for several days and nights, and every family brewed this rice wine."
"But one day, the new Holy Lady suddenly disappeared. The Holy Lady Clan had no choice but to elect a girl from a side branch of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Ruoli, as the new Holy Lady. In fact, her bloodline was not pure at all.
So this Dongfang Ruoli was an imposter. Where was the real Holy Lady?
Jun Xiqing downed the bowl of rice wine and Ping Ping came over to tug at her. "Your Highness, let's go dance."
"Oh, okay."
…
Jun Xiqing and Ping Ping danced around the bonfire, surrounded by a group of unmarried boys.
The boys all looked at Jun Xiqing. Jun Xiqing had just drunk some rice wine and her face was flushed red. Her slender figure swayed. Although she wasn't a professional dancer, there was a pure and charming charm to her youthfulness, causing the boys to look back at her.
Jun Xiqing was the most beautiful girl they had ever seen.
Even the prettiest girl in the clan was not as beautiful as her.
On the other side, in a secluded corner, Fan Men stood respectfully as Lu Yeming and the High Priest of the Holy Lady Clan conversed.
Lu Yeming's deep almond-shaped eyes landed on the High Priest's face. "The Holy Lady Clan has always been an independent clan outside of Country A. Yuan Ming used to be the clan leader, but now that he has run away, I will hand the Holy Lady Clan over to you."
The High Priest was terrified. "Your Highness, I can only manage the Holy Lady Clan for the time being. When I find the real Holy Lady, I will hand the Holy Lady Clan over to her. She is the real ruler of the Holy Lady Clan."
"High Priest," Fan Men said, "How can we find the Holy Lady who has been missing for 23 years?"
The High Priest looked at Lu Yeming. "Your Highness, Dongfang Ruoli is the fake Holy Lady. The real Holy Lady is your destined bride."
Lu Yeming didn't have much of a reaction. With one hand in his pocket, he saw Jun Xiqing dancing around the bonfire.
She was very eye-catching in the sea of people. Many boys surrounded her, and she swayed her little hands and feet, jumping very happily.
She was the most beautiful person here.
She attracted everyone's gazes.
Lu Yeming pursed his thin lips, his handsome face turning frosty with displeasure.
He broke into a run and walked over.
…
Many people were dancing and Lu Yeming walked through the crowd. Suddenly, a girl bumped into him.
"Ouch."
The girl cried out and quickly turned around. When they saw Lu Yeming, they instantly blushed.
"I-I'm sorry …"
Lu Yeming's cold eyes landed on the girl and he said indifferently, "It's fine."
The girl was so happy that she almost fainted.
Lu Yeming walked forward. His arrival caused a commotion. Many people stopped dancing and automatically made way for him.
Lu Yeming was the kind of man who exuded an aura even when he walked.
He stopped in front of Jun Xiqing and said with a spurious smile, "Are you out to show off again?"
Jun Xiqing glanced sideways at him. This man was like a haunting ghost.
Because of the dance, her flushed face was covered in a layer of sweat. A few strands of her hair were tangled around her beautiful, swan-like neck. She looked at him with raised brows. "President Lu, I'm dancing. Please move aside."
Lu Yeming's gaze was deep and hot. He licked his dry lips and chuckled. "Dance with me then."
He elegantly swayed his noble and narrow waist.
"Ah!"
Jun Xiqing heard the excited screams of a group of girls.
Lu Yeming had received the most orthodox education in the royal family and was good at all kinds of ballroom dancing. Now that he was in front of the bonfire, he didn't dance too obviously. He just moved along with her, but the way he swayed lazily with one hand in his pocket made him look like a sexy man strolling through the streets of France.
It made one's body go numb.
She pouted helplessly. Who was the one showing off? Lu Yeming was even more seductive than a woman!
"President Lu, you can dance by yourself. I'm not dancing anymore."
Jun Xiqing turned around to leave.
At this moment, her slender wrist was grasped by a few long fingers. She heard his low voice. "You came out without any underwear?"
Jun Xiqing's heart palpitated. She quickly lifted her eyes to look at him, only to see his gaze fixated on her chest.
She was wearing a thick shirt and it was a loose style. No one would be able to see through her.
But he had actually seen through it!
"Lu Yeming, where are you looking?" She glared at him angrily.
Lu Yeming looked down at her and retorted, "You have two bunnies hiding in your arms. They're jumping around and you're blaming me for looking at you?"
"…"
What did he say?
Two bunnies?
The redness on her face quickly spread to her ears and she bit down on her red lips. "Lu Yeming, you're too perverted!"
"You know I'm perverted and yet you still seduced me. I think you're asking for it!"
