‘We have to give that doggie man a real lesson! The princess only belongs to Master!’
The man calmly glanced at Qing Zhu and asked, “What?”
“Somebody… Somebody had gone to look for the princess. Master, we must hurry up. What should we do if the princess is seduced by some fellows?”
‘The princess is always fond of beauty. What if that man takes more initiative than our master? They might start hugging each other later.’
Of course, Qing Zhu had only caught a glimpse of Jiu Ming’s back, but not his face. Therefore, it did not know what the b.a.s.t.a.r.d looked like.
Nan Xian frowned as soon as he heard that. “Man or woman?”
Qing Zhu was too shocked to say something.
‘Why does Master care about such a thing?
‘To ask if this person is a man or a woman?’
“Master, it’s a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Quick, let’s go now!”
It had just finished working hard to set fire to Liu Manor, just when it wanted to go forward and please the princess, it saw something that it did not wish to see!
“Oh.” Nan Xian sighed in relief. “It’s fine as long as the person is not a woman.”
Qing Zhu was speechless and almost cried. Was a man not more dangerous than a woman?
“Stop being bothered about this.” The corners of Nan Xian’s lips gently lifted. He paused for a while and said, “If you ever see any new little girl or female servant enter the princess’s manor… report to me.”
Qing Zhu looked at Nan Xian dumbfoundedly as it did not know what he meant.
“Or…” Nan Xian frowned. “You can throw those female servants out of the manor immediately.”
Qing Zhu remained silent.
‘Master is taking precaution to prevent women but not a man?”
“Master, aren’t you afraid that the princess might run away with another wild man?”
“Nope.” Nan Xian’s smile was soft and gentle. “I trust her.”
Qing Zhu paused for a while before it asked, “But then, why don’t you believe in her when it comes to a woman?”
“Qing’er thinks because they are all women, so she doesn’t need to care much. She also thinks that no woman will fall for her so she can do whatever she wants. I just want to protect Qing’er, just in case… Somebody slips in to hurt her when she is not sober.”
Qing Zhu’s eyes widened in shock.
‘Master, does the princess know you are so capable of talking nonsense?
‘You’re just envious because you saw the princess hugging here and there before, but then to claim that you’re protecting her…’
Perhaps Nan Xian had read Qing Zhu’s mind and slowly scanned its body. Qing Zhu was too frightened and immediately replied. “Master’s right. You do everything to protect the princess.”
“Yeap.”
Without further ado, Nan Xian calmly walked toward the Southern Bamboo Forest.

At the same time, far away in the mountains.
The white phoenix was too tired as it slowly landed from the sky. It crouched on the ground, trying to catch its breath.
“Suyi, where’s this place exactly? How should we get to Liu Yun Kingdom?”
The white phoenix was too sad and almost cried.
It had been flying for three days and three nights, but then, they had returned to the starting point again! It really did not know how long it would take for them to get to Xiao Qingqing.
“Don’t panic.” Suyi wiped the sweat away from her forehead and said calmly, “I’ll ask for the directions. Wait for me here.”
“Okay, Suyi. Please shout for me if you encounter any bad guy, I’ll come for you immediately.”
Suyi did not pay more attention to the nagging phoenix as she moved forward elegantly.
Perhaps Suyi was in good luck. She b.u.mped into a girl just as she started looking for help.
That was quite a good-looking girl but, she looked very disgusted as if there was some vengeance in her. Suyi was jolted and slightly frowned.
Before this, she would never disturb a person if she noticed that the person was in a bad mood. However, in such a desolated place, it was already a slim chance for her to b.u.mp into a person, so if she missed this girl, she did not know when she would run into another pa.s.serby again.
