Before long, Li Rui discovered a path leading to the outside world, but his Source Qi was gone, and his Meridians were injured, leaving him with no choice but to walk.
When he saw a strong light, Li Rui felt frustrated and silently cursed countless times in his heart. This place turned out to be the Palace, which was truly...
Could that woman be one of the ladies here? That would be awkward.
Suddenly, after the woman dressed herself, she immediately arrived at this place. Li Rui had to take a few steps back; her speed was astonishing! He had walked for quite a while to get here.
It wasn't that the latter had taken long to arrive; he had exhausted his Source Qi and couldn't fly. Even walking required a significant amount of energy!
"All of you come here and find this man. Bring him before me."
"Yes!" With that command, Li Rui's second conclusion was confirmed.
Once again, he felt an overwhelming sense of frustration. If Li Rui were caught, it would be disastrous; he would have to endure all sorts of punishments. That wasn't even the worst part—this was their territory! If they issued a wanted notice for him, it would be a nightmare.
Li Rui found himself in a dilemma, unsure if there were other paths to escape from behind.
To be safe, he decided to return to the lakeside and search for another route; it would be great if there was one.
When Li Rui returned to this spot again, suddenly there was a loud "bang." Wasn't this just child's play? How could such a thing happen?
This princess was truly ruthless!
At that moment, he heard a series of "hee hee hee" sounds coming from behind, filling Li Rui with an unprecedented fear.
"Miss? No! Princess, ah! I don't even know what to call you anymore. Please let me explain; it's really not what you think."
The princess smiled and slowly approached Li Rui with a cold dagger in hand. Despite the heat in the air, an icy chill radiated from her back.
"What did you just say? If it's not what I think it is, then what is it? Come back with me!"
At this moment, the distance between the two was only half a meter. To leave, one would have to ask if the dagger in her hand agreed, which was simply impossible.
Li Rui naturally understood that under such circumstances, it was impossible not to follow her.
Unbeknownst to him, his hands had been tied with a hemp rope. In the past, trying to bind Li Rui like this would have been unthinkable, yet now he had become a prisoner.
It was truly unexpected, just as the saying goes, "A tiger falling into the plains is bullied by dogs."
"Princess, what are you doing..." After walking a short distance, the Surrounding Guards couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! I just caught a thief. Watch how I deal with him."
Li Rui noticed the looks in the eyes of the Surrounding Guards; each one looked at him with pity. It was only then that they realized how "awkward" their decision had been. Was this princess really a devil?
Suddenly, he was led into her boudoir.
And then she began to undress, which was...
"Miss, what are you doing? I'm not that kind of person; it was just a misunderstanding! No, no, Your Highness!"
At that moment, the princess smiled again, her beauty strikingly evident, yet a chilling sensation still lingered on Li Rui's back.
"Then I want to hear how you explain this!" It was unclear when a whip appeared in her hand, seemingly for taming horses.
Li Rui thought to himself, could it be that kind of situation?
Suddenly! A voice from outside called out, "Cai'er, what are you doing? Are you alright? Don't smile like everything is fine when it's not."
"I got it, Mother!"
So this princess is called Cai'er!
"Hehehe! Buddy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
At this moment, Li Rui felt even more frustrated. Could this Cai'er be the one? Why has she been staring at him all this time? This can't be good.
"What are you so nervous about? I haven't done anything."
Just then, the whip in the princess's hand suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, aimed directly at Li Rui's family heirloom. Is she really going to...
"Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll scream!"
"Go ahead and scream! I'll tell my Mother Empress about what happened today, and maybe you'll end up being cut into a thousand pieces! And it'll be done slowly with a dagger!"
Li Rui imagined that scene and shuddered involuntarily.
At that moment, the princess took a few steps closer.
Li Rui was thinking about whether there was any way to remedy the situation when suddenly he remembered his eyes.
"Why didn't I think of that earlier? Really..."
He then blinked slightly, and suddenly! The princess's movements slowed down as she looked at Li Rui's pupils with a hint of fear. Her red-eyed curved blade seemed to transform into a lotus flower, as if those eyes could pierce through everything.
At that moment, the princess was indeed scared; she suddenly didn't even dare to look Li Rui in the eye.
It was true that although Li Rui had lost his power at this moment, just blinking his eyes might make this palace disappear.
In such a situation, Li Rui suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
The footsteps slowly approached the princess. Although his hands were bound by hemp ropes, those eyes could cause someone to meet an untimely end with just a single movement.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll scream for help!"
"Crack!" Li Rui suddenly tripped over a stool on the ground and accidentally fell onto the princess!
The princess had imagined this scene countless times in her mind, and now that she was looking so closely at Li Rui's face for the first time, she felt a sudden flutter in her heart. It was a bit awkward, and her cheeks instantly flushed. Looking directly into Li Rui's eyes, he didn't seem as terrifying as she had imagined; instead, there was a hint of handsomeness.
This was also Li Rui's first time being so close to her, and her bashful face truly resembled a beauty that could overshadow the moon and flowers. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
"Will you marry me?"
Li Rui was stunned. What was happening? Just a second ago, wasn't this person worried about what to do? And now, here they were in this situation. Indeed, being too handsome could lead to...
"What? I'm sorry, Your Highness. I really didn't mean to..." Li Rui didn't even know where to start.
"It's okay. I know you're the hero sent to save me. I wasn't prepared for that earlier! From now on..."
Li Rui felt even more frustrated. What was going on? Was he really going to become part of the royal family? That couldn't happen; if his family found out about those "powerful" women, things would get even more complicated.
