Stubborn Xi Xhen.

"Mm…. I feel a little bit better". Xi Xhen said, earlier before, she decided to stay put because she couldn't go have fun with an empty stomach that wouldn't stop growling out loudly like a beast. "Good thing that this dude's palace has nice meals. I think I can deal with staying here for the meantime". She said out, though it was the truth she admitted herself after all.

"Yeah, Young Mistress…. It's so good". Zhen Zhen replied, "It tastes sweet!".

"I also love it. I didn't expect that trying this would be so tempting", Lilie announced. And there I was all those years consuming wild plants and beasts. Well, it's not as if I didn't enjoy them.

"Now it's time for plan B. I need to start practising my powers". Xhen happily announced to Lilie, she indeed was anticipating it already.

"Sure Xhen, with pleasure. I have been preparing for this day to come my whole life after that unfortunate day". Lilie exclaimed excitedly. How long had it been since she had patiently waited for this day to come, and now it had arrived? She really couldn't believe that it was beginning already, even though her eyes could clearly witness it by itself.

"let's go". Xi Xhen said to them.

"Okay, Young Mistress". Zhen Zhen replied to Xi Xhen.

[Just that same second later].

There was an angry expression on Xi Xhen's face, and her eyes were getting fiercer than they already were. She was beginning to lose control. In fact, she had already lost control. The veins in her neck were starting to become even more visible to see. "I am going to go practice! Are you planning on keeping me in here forever?". She angrily asked the two bodyguards who stopped her from going out of her Manor.

"Of course not, your Highness. B.... But the Crown Prince's orders". One of the bodyguards tried to explain to her.

"Screw his orders, I am going out whether you like it or not!!". She yelled out as she shoved them from the way.

"I'll get back when I want to. I don't take orders from anyone. Hmph!". Xi Xhen announced loudly to the guards before making her way out of her pavilion.

"The Crown Princess Consort is really tough". The other of the guards admitted.

"Yeah I know, and we will be in a life and death situation if she doesn't get back". He said.

"Then let's spy on her and monitor her movements for our own sake". He suggested it to the other guard, who agreed to it. They both went after Xi Xhen without her notice, because they were afraid that she would try to escape and run away. They could never let that happen, because they were so scared of the Crown Prince…. The crown prince's eyes alone could make one faint.

[It took up to five minutes before she arrived at her favorite place in the Mansion].

"Yeah. My new favourite training arena". Xi Xhen said excitedly. Ever since her first moment here, she has declared it her best point of view and future training place.

The training arena belongs to none other than Li Yun.

[She inhaled deeply when she finally stopped walking]. "You both can come out now".

Guard 1:- huh??

Guard 2:- huh?? How did she find out that we were spying on her?? They both thought as they got out from their hiding positions with dumbfounded faces. They could have sworn that they were both extra careful when spying.

"I told you that I won't go anywhere". She said, before she wickedly smirked and threatened them, "If you both continue to behave like this ever again, then I won't hesitate to escape, do you understand?".

"Forgive us your Highness! We're both wrong". They both apologized at nearly the same time.

Xi Xhen sighed deeply. "Alright. Get going already". She ordered and gestured to them to leave.

Both guards didn't hesitate this time to obey Xi Xhen's orders, as they were both scared that she might do as she had said.

They left the training arena. Thus, leaving Xi Xhen and her two other friends. Of course, one being her servant, and the other being her one and only mentor.

"Ha. Now there is some time to learn some new useful skills and tricks. Let's see how tough I am, and how easily I can pull out the thread". Xi Xhen said. She faced Lilie's direction and announced, "I am ready to learn from you, Master". Xi Xhen teased Lilie.

"Okay then my student. Let's begin training". Lilie played along.

"You can sit over there and watch me practise my powers". Xhen Xhen said to Zhen Zhen, who excitedly nodded her head in response.

Zhen Zhen sat down on the neat floor, as she curiously watched her young Mistress begin training. She couldn't wait to see what type of powerful trick her young Mistress would learn today.
