Chapter 4316: 5.0068 She's Starting to Look Acceptable

Perhaps they truly did escape through a teleportation array; it wasn't impossible.

"Sister Qiao, don't worry," Qingxuexue turned and looked at Qiaomu with firm eyes. "I won't wallow in self-pity or sadness."

"I will become more invigorated and strong. When I meet my mother and my people again, I will prove myself to her. I can also be a responsible Princess."

"When danger comes again, I can unhesitatingly take the sword from my mother's hand and protect my people in her stead."

The little poker face's lips curved upward expressionlessly.

He Luan, standing far away beneath the mast, couldn't help but show a relieved smile.

Perhaps this crisis wasn't entirely a bad thing.

The Princess seemed to have grown up overnight.

Long Xiangyun looked up at the two for a while, then turned to see her brother looking at her with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Long Hui wondered if his sister had been paying too much attention to the poker face lately.

She stood there watching the poker face talk to the Princess for so long. Ordinarily, his sister would have been extremely impatient by now.

The two were talking in low voices in front of the second-deck railing; only faint remnants of their conversation could be heard carried by the wind.

And yet, his sister had stood there for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, which was a bit baffling.

"I want to ask you what's wrong," Long Hui couldn't help but size her up.

"Nothing," Long Xiangyun snorted and walked away without looking back. "I just realized that poker face isn't as annoying as I thought."

Long Hui was startled, watching his sister's retreating figure, and then let out a helpless chuckle after a moment.

"But that's all it is," Long Xiangyun waved her hand, snorted again, and quickly walked towards the cargo hold.

"Time to sleep." After a night of commotion, dawn was almost breaking; it was truly exhausting.

With a "clatter," she pulled open the cargo hold door and saw something "thud" onto the ground in front of her.

Long Xiangyun quickly stepped back, dodging the projectile.

She squinted at it and couldn't help but be amused.

It turned out that when Qinghongse saw someone open the door, she swiftly lunged at her. After being dodged, she naturally tumbled spread-eagled.

"What are you doing?" Long Xiangyun yelled irritably.

"Mph, mmph!! Mph!" Qinghongse mumbled furiously, her face beet red with anger.

Long Xiangyun rolled her eyes, raised her hand, and summoned a long sword from her spiritual ocean. With a flash of the blade, she swiftly flicked the cloth strip out of Qinghongse's mouth, scaring the latter into a piercing shriek.

"Let me go! Let me go!!"

"I can't let you go," Long Xiangyun shrugged, glancing at her.

Qinghongse's hands and feet were entangled with vine-like ropes as thick as bowls, covered in pure nine-layered wood spiritual power; she had no way to break free.

This was Young Master Feng Changfei's masterpiece.

"If you're bored, go outside. Don't disturb my sleep," Long Xiangyun impatiently tossed Qinghongse out of the cabin and shut the door to rest.

Qinghongse, naturally, trembled with rage.

Seeing this, Qingxuexue quickly leaped down and landed in front of Qinghongse. She turned to the little poker face, "Sister Qiao, please release my third sister first. Third Sister, stop making noise. Everything's fine now."

Qiaomu glanced at Qinghongse, and with a slight movement of wood spiritual power in her fingers, the nine-layered wood spiritual power covering Qinghongse obediently dissipated.
