Jian Cen studied the girl in front of him, dressed in purple with black hair, his eyes swirling with emotions that Zi Wan found difficult to decipher.
Why was he looking at her with that strange gaze, even after being reincarnated? She couldn't recall having offended him—at least not the reincarnated version of him. "Do you... do you like me?" she asked hesitantly.
Jian Cen appeared visibly taken aback.
"Uh-huh." Right now, her priority was to get closer to Jian Cen, help him through his tribulation, and provide an explanation to Si Ming Jun, so she could return to Huan Mo Lin without any issues.
He stepped closer to Zi Wan, his gaze intense. "What do you like about me?"
He had no money or power and had been called a pretty boy since childhood.
"I just like... I like that you're a pretty boy! I like that you're handsome!"
Jian Cen made a face as if he had just eaten a fly, opening his mouth to respond when a few burly women emerged from behind the trees, brandishing kitchen knives and pointing at a couple standing by the tree. They shouted, "This mountain is ours! This tree is ours! If you want to live, leave the handsome man behind!"
So this was the legendary grass-picking bandit? Just a few plump village women wielding kitchen knives? How unprofessional!
Zi Wan boldly stepped forward, shielding Jian Cen behind her. She lifted her chin and declared with what she thought was great authority, "Hmph! The handsome man is already mine! If you want to take him from me, let's see if you have the ability!"
However, Zi Wan was overestimating her own lack of power.
The frail little figure, with a waist that could be grasped with one hand, seemed utterly incapable of withstanding the muscular village girls wielding "weapons"!
As a result, Zi Wan was kicked far away by a large, hefty woman and landed in Jian Cen's arms.
She stared blankly at him, who looked anxious and worried, and then everything went dark as she lost consciousness.
The two princes of Nine Heavens were renowned for their striking good looks.
The Eldest Prince had eloped with a maid in his youth and was later exiled to the East Sea, never to return to Nine Heavens. Thus, the Second Prince claimed the top spot among the handsome men of Nine Heavens and was even crowned as the Crown Prince.
Life on Qingfeng Mountain was rather dull, as Taiyi Zhenren often secluded himself for meditation.
Bored out of her mind, Zi Wan's favorite pastime was transforming into a small Nine-Tailed White Fox and hiding in a tree hollow to listen to her senior brothers and sisters gossip.
"I heard that the Senior Brother has returned from Nine Heavens and will be staying for quite a while! We’ll get to see him every day; how wonderful!"
A young Little Disciple in red was sweeping away a foot of accumulated snow with a broom while excitedly sharing this news with the Blue-Clad Junior Disciple beside her, her eyes sparkling with hearts.
The Blue-Clad Junior Disciple cautiously glanced around before whispering mysteriously to the Red-Clad Junior Disciple, "Don’t get too happy too soon. I heard yesterday that the Senior Brother often sleeps in bed with the female demon from this mountain. Oh dear... I really shouldn’t say more!"
"No way... The Senior Brother doesn’t seem like that kind of person... It must be that female demon’s trickery; she wants to become the Crown Princess of Nine Heavens! How cunning!"
A female demon? Could there really be a female demon on the radiant Qingfeng Mountain?
Zi Wan couldn't help but perk up her Fox Ears, wanting to listen closely.
However, a sharp pain shot through her ears, and she opened her eyes in distress to see the expressionless Jian Cen pinching her Fox Ears, kneading them like dough.
"Is it fun to eavesdrop on others, Shishu?" The last two words were almost spat out through clenched teeth.
Zi Wan felt that as a Shishu, she should uphold the dignity of her title and not let this Shizhi bully her. So she mustered all her strength and bit down hard on Jian Cen's wrist.
Blood immediately flowed, and she tasted the metallic sweetness of it but refused to let go. I'll bite you to death! Let's see if you dare to bully me again!
This brat, being the younger brother of that scoundrel Eldest Prince, was well aware of how she had been abandoned by the Eldest Prince from Nine Heavens. Yet he dared to mock her every time they met, even calling her "Nine-Tailed Fox," driving her to the brink of a nervous breakdown.
How could it be that she, the dignified Qing Qiu Female Monarch, was cast aside by a worthless Eldest Prince, who then shamelessly ran off with a lowly maid? It was utterly absurd!
