“Aya…. Who is the handsome dude that's staring at me over there?”. Xi Xhen's index finger pointed at Li Yun after she said.
‘Wait, what? What's he even doing here?”. Lilie thought.
Zhen Zhen quickly bowed her head at Li Yun, causing Xi Xhen to fall on the floor.
Feeling that her respect for the crown prince was not enough, Zhen Zhen fell to her knees and greeted him even louder. “Young Mistress!”. Zhen Zhen yelled out after she finally noticed Xi Xhen, who was on the floor.
‘What a weird and improper lady!’. Li Yun thought to himself as he continued to stare at Xi Xhen's face.
Strangely, everything suddenly became silent for a while, and this event caused the commoners to stare and gossip. Most of the gossipers didn't even know that the crown prince was in their midst.
Li Yun continued to glare at his Princess Consort who was still busy muttering nonsense.
Since the crown prince was not saying any words, Zhen Zhen quickly helped Xi Xhen to stand up on her feet. Actually, Zhen Zhen helped Xi Xhen up because, no matter how much Xi Xhen tried, she wasn't able to stand up on her own. Xi Xhen's strength just seemed to have left her, thus causing her body to be completely vulnerable.
“W…. Who are you?”. Xi Xhen pointed a finger at Li Yun and questioned him again, but just like before, Li Yun simply ignored her.
Seeing how Li Yun totally ignored her, caused Xi Xhen to laugh out loud like a maniac.
People who were passing by all saw Xi Xhen, but what they saw next… almost shocked them to death. They became stiff, and every passing second caused their faces to pale. “The…. The monster prince!!”. Immediately, a voice screamed out. Everyone ran away to save their dear lives.
Li Yun didn't introduce himself to the drunk Xi Xhen, he just went ahead and held her hand. In an instant, he teleported himself with Xi Xhen back to his mansion.
“What just happened? Young Mistress, where are you?!!!”. Zhen Zhen was panicking since she didn't understand what had happened before her own eyes.
“I really have to help Xi Xhen get stronger so that I can also get stronger”. Lilie muttered before she complained, “Hmph. Now I have to fly back to that stupid mansion”. Thinking of this almost made Lilie give up. She wasn't like this a thousand years ago. Honestly, she was stronger than this and could also teleport. But now, everything had changed, because Lilie's source of power came from Xi Xhen.
So, if Lilie was to become stronger, Xi Xhen had to become stronger first and master her abilities!
“Young Mistress, I'm coming!!!. I'll find you! I definitely will find you!”. Zhen Zhen shouted before she began to run her way to the Crown Prince's mansion.
“Hey! Wait for me”. Lilie said before flying after Zhen Zhen, who was running really fast.
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion,
The moment Xi Xhen had arrived at the mansion with Li Yun, she pushed him away from her, as she was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Her body was itching her for no reason, and another problem was that someone invisible seemed to be dragging her hair.
“Hey!!! Leave my white hair alone! Why are you even holding my hair?! Is it because mine is prettier than yours?!”. Xi Xhen quarrelled with the person seriously, even though no one was actually holding her hair. The whole thing was just her imagination.
“Hey you! What are you staring at?! Do you want to get beaten up by me? Freak, why don't you come closer and let me beat you up?!”. Xi Xhen quarreled with the same invisible person again.
When Xi Xhen was still busy quarrelling, Zu wan arrived at the scene. He was staring at Xi Xhen with a shocked face. He had no idea that the Princess Consort was this childish.
Thank goddess that it was nighttime. No maid servants were present to see how Xi Xhen was disgracing herself. Although the maid servants weren't there, the guards were there, since they were stationed all over the place– in order for them to protect the mansion from intruders and assassins.
“Whoa! I feel like I'm flying! Hahaha, awesome! I want to fly again. One, two, three, fly!”. Xi Xhen shouted.
After hearing all the nonsense that was coming from Xi Xhen's mouth, Li Yun got tired and was already experiencing a headache.
Li Yun grabbed Xi Xhen's wrist and dragged her to his own manor, after which he shut the door from the inside.
“Whoa! This place is so cool!”. Xi Xhen exclaimed loudly the moment she entered Li Yun's room and saw how it was richly decorated. Li Yun's manor was much bigger, compared to Xi Xhen's manor, which was smaller.
“Is that…?”. Xi Xhen didn't finish her words and was staring at the massive golden bed.
Xi Xhen didn't waste time and immediately ran to jump on the bed. It reached a certain point, and she stopped jumping on the bed, but she suddenly started crying and was hitting her chest in the process.
Li Yun saw what Xi Xhen was doing and he got really confused.
“Your bed is bigger than mine! And it's even softer! Everything you own is better than mine! It's not fair! It's not fair at all! I want it all. I want everything that's yours!”. Xi Xhen complained as she continued to cry. A minute later, Xi Xhen laid on the bed and began rolling back and forth on it while crying.
Soon after, Xi Xhen grew exhausted. “I want everything that's yours…. Including your big bed”. Xi Xhen muttered before she slept off.
Li Yun was amazed by his weird little Consort. He stood still and was watching Xi Xhen, who was sleeping on his large bed.
He finally noticed that Xi Xhen was wearing a young lord's robe. “Does she want my things that much?”. He muttered. Before he stared at Xi Xhen's hair and became surprised once more.
Although Li Yun was not interested in getting married, he dug up some information about Xi Xhen. And he was sure that she had black hair, not golden white hair.
The night became darker and silent. And after a few hours, it was morning.
The sounds of birds chirping and the faint noises of trees swaying, combined with the morning sunset which shone brightly, caused Xi Xhen to finally wake up from her sleep.
Immediately after waking up, Xi Xhen yawned, and with her right palm, she covered her mouth.
“Hmm…. Where am I?”. Xi Xhen questioned herself because she was confused about her surroundings.
The room was epic! Everything was neatly arranged and damn expensive!. But Xi Xhen didn't remember how she got there.
She suddenly gasped when she imagined something. She instantly checked her body and sighed in relief when she saw that nothing bad had happened to her.
She rose up from bed and walked toward the exit door. Just when she was about to open the door, she heard a familiar deep voice speak to her.
‘The monster?’. Xi Xhen thought.
“Awake?”. The same voice questioned Xi Xhen.
Meanwhile, Xi Xhen turned behind her, and saw the crown prince. He was sitting on the same bed she rose from.
‘Eh?! How come I didn't notice his presence?!’. Xi Xhen gritted her teeth as she thought to herself. In no time, she pointed her finger against Li Yun as she questioned him, “Huh? What are you doing here?!”.
After hearing Xi Xhen's demanding voice, Li Yun simply sighed deeply. “This is my room”. Li Yun announced.
‘His room? Is he crazy or what? Didn't I clearly leave his mansion last night? So, how is this his room?’. Xi Xhen slightly frowned as she thought.
Xi Xhen walked close to Li Yun without care. What she did next surprised Li Yun. She placed her right palm on Li Yun's forehead to check if he was alright.
“Hmm…. Your temperature seems absolutely normal. But why are you talking nonsense? How can this be your room?”. Xi Xhen didn't care and said this out loud.
‘What is wrong with her?’. Li Yun pushed Xi Xhen's hand away from his forehead as he thought.
“Wait, if he's normal, does that mean I've come back? But how is that possible?!”. Xi Xhen said before she immediately ran outside Li Yun's manor.
Upon arriving outside, Xi Xhen was now familiar with the environment. “How is this possible? I clearly left here yesterday. So how am I back? Where are Lilie and Zhen Zhen?! What is happening to me?!”. Xi Xhen exclaimed because she was really confused.
Outside Li Yun's mansion, at the front gate,
“Finally, I've arrived”. Zhen Zhen said and was panting really fast as she tried to catch her breath.
Not only that, Zhen Zhen’s lips were dry, and her forehead was sweating. Even her dress was ruined because of her sweat.
The truth was, Zhen Zhen had tried to run to the crown prince’s mansion last night to find Xi Xhen, but she later changed her mind because it was pretty dark last night.
And because it was late, she slept in Xi Xhen's little manor last night. But after she woke up this morning, she hurriedly made her way to the crown prince’s mansion.
“Hey, slow down a little bit! We have already arrived at the mansion!”. Lilie yelled at Zhen Zhen before she actually recalled that Zhen Zhen couldn't hear her.
“Oh, I wish you could at least see me”. Lilie slightly shook her head as she muttered. Last night, Lilie also stayed behind with Zhen Zhen because she couldn't leave Zhen Zhen alone.
Inside the crown prince's mansion,
Since Xi Xhen was outside Li Yun's manor, the maid servants were able to see her. Plus, the maid servants were also busy gossiping about how beautiful Xi Xhen was.
Maid servant 1; “Isn't she the most beautiful? She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life”. The maid’s eyes sparkled after she finished talking.
Maid servant 2; “Yeah, our princess consort is a rare beauty. And I bet Lady Chin Yun would be so jealous of her right now”.
Maid servant 3; “Mm, you're right. She's so beautiful”. Another of the maid servants agreed with what the two other maid servants had said.
Maid servant 1; "I bet our princess consort mistakenly landed on this world”.
“Ahem! Gossiping in broad daylight”. Head maid Kim suddenly showed up and scolded all the maid servants, who were busy gossiping.
“We apologise, Head-maid Kim!”. Because of how terrified they were, the maid servants immediately apologised.
“Now, get back to work and be mindful of what you say or do”. Head maid Kim ordered the maid servants, and they immediately respected her, before they rushed to do their assigned chores.
