Yu Feng was a street thief with a reputation as 'the thief who has never gotten caught'. Until that one day...

Her capture threatened her to work for him. Her task? To carry messages and deliver them to each receiver—she became a runner.

The seventh prince, Prince Yi was fighting against time as they are trying to find evidence of the enemy trying to assassinate the Emperor. However, recently most of his messenger never reached their destination and this has caused them a huge loss. This was why he needed someone who knew the Capital City's streets and shortcuts to help him. 

When Prince Yi found out his runner's identity, he was delighted! But once Yu Feng found out the identity of the man she was working for, she tried to escape.

“Yu Feng, you dare to run away from me. This Prince had caught you once. Believe me when I say that I will catch you again.”

The Story of Yu Feng

Seeing the boy in front of her, Yu Feng began to lower the dagger in her hand. She narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time. "Who are you? Why are you watching us?"

The boy watched both Yu Feng and Orange alternately. "Sorry. I did not mean to startle you. It was just that…" He hesitated as he looked at the meat jerky in Yu Feng's hand. The sight of food made him salivated and he started to swallow.

Yu Feng followed his gaze and knew what the boy wanted.

"You're hungry?" Yu Feng asked. Her gaze softened as she saw the way the boy was staring at the food in her hand.

The boy did not answer her question and instead, continued to stare at the food in her hand.

Not too long ago, that was the same way Yu Feng would stare at food. She could understand the boy's feelings more or less.

To see someone in front of you eating delicious food while you haven't been eating for days was definitely not a good feeling.

Father! I'm Back!
