like it"“Hmm!”When the curtain fell, I finally let out a slight sigh of relief: "Qiyun...""Huh""I forbid taking concubines, I don't like it."He was taken aback for a moment, then let out a scoff and s...Mu Wanchen appeared before me, his brows slightly furrowed, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong"

I was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Just now I heard some people talking, a raspy male voice and a flat, emotionless female voice.

Where is everyone

"Are you still in pain" Mu Wanchen lifted the corner of the blanket and carefully lay down beside me.

I shook my head and asked, “You... when did you come in”

"Come here for a while, what's wrong with you Why are you sleeping restlessly Homesickness" He nestled his head on his arm, the other hand pulling me into his chest.

His chest was solid and broad, and lying on it felt very safe.

I couldn't help but rub my face, wondering if I had just been dreaming.

"Just now, I think I heard someone talking in the room. A man was asking, 'Is she here' I have a vague feeling that the man's 'she' refers to me... There was also a woman's voice answering."

I described Mu Wanchen to him.

Mu Wanchen listened to me finish, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and asked, "Can you tell who's voice it is"

"I can't tell them apart... and I don't know many people here either. I only know Zhu Jin, Xi Fu Ren, Liang Xiao Ge... and Chu Ling and her brother Lian Long. How am I supposed to tell them apart"

Mu Wanchen nodded, gently stroking my back, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Wuwang Mountain City is relatively safer than your home. It's not easy for the old monster to move you. I'll keep an eye on you."

"I wouldn't want you watching me that closely." I mumbled, laughing as I buried my face in his chest.

It's so warm, I feel like I don't even need a blanket.

"What are you doing" I mumbled sleepily, my eyes closed as if preparing to drift back off.

"...Something seems wrong with the downstream gate formation. The clan member who was guarding it just sent a message asking me to take a look."

"How come I always run into problems..." I let out a sigh.

"It can't be helped, everything in the world has its cause and effect. Back then when Mu Xiaoqiao was captured, Master induced karmic fire to burn the mountain. Afterward, a hole appeared in the southeast corner of the mountain range. Repairing the dharma gate is an extremely meticulous and time-consuming task, much like weaving a net; it requires every strand to be flawlessly connected… It's very difficult."

Mu Wanchen sighed, seeming quite troubled by this matter.

I can't do much to help him, besides acting cute and obediently agreeing with him, I can only keep quiet and not speak out of turn.

If everything truly has its cause and effect, then every encounter in life is a chance encounter. What kind of result will be produced depends on our own choices.

Mu Wanchen seems like he doesn't need to sleep. When he came back yesterday, I thought it was the middle of the night. But today, as soon as I opened my eyes, he was gone again.

Although managing so many people is hard work, it's not to the point of neglecting sleep and food, right

I was nestled in my bed, trying to ease the morning grumpiness when Zhu Jin, that little imp, bounced in with a gaggle of people. Seeing me still tucked under the covers, she immediately turned back to the group and said, "Little Princess isn't up yet, none of you are allowed in! Wait for her outside!"

"Very well." the person outside replied.

Zhu Jin shut the door and walked in, smiling, "Little princess, get up and try on your clothes!"

Looking at her eager fists clenched, she seems even more excited than I am.

I poked her forehead with my finger and asked, "What are you so excited about... I'm hungry, could you get me something to eat first"

Zhu Jin patted her head: "Oh, my, am I already hungry Could it be that I'm pregnant"

"...Go quickly." I gritted my teeth.

This girl is outspoken, but she's not as meticulous as her cousin, Lady Xi. As soon as Zhu Jin opened the door to instruct them about preparing lunch, he saw Lady Xi entering with two helpers, carrying dishes.

"Sister, you're here just in time! The little princess is hungry. Could it be she's expecting" Zhu Jin smiled and brought the things on the tray to the table.

Xi Fu ren gave her a withering look. "How is that possible Don't be foolish, work more and talk less."

I looked at the food on the table. The steamer basket held glutinous rice balls wrapped in lotus leaves, a stack of delicately prepared squirrel fish, and some fresh, vibrant green vegetables. Next to it, a fragrant medicinal soup simmered in a clay pot.

I surreptitiously swallowed, watching as they arranged their tableware with meticulous care. I couldn't help but inwardly scoff.

The porcelain dish is as white as jade, with intricate patterns. It has excellent roundness and transparency.

It turns out that Wuwu Mountain City wasn't a poor and remote village, but rather that Mu Wanchen was simply someone who didn't care much for luxury and enjoyment.

These delectable and beautifully presented dishes don't look like they come from a poor, remote area at all!

I quietly pulled Zhu Jin aside and asked, "Is Mu Wanchen's daily life usually like this"

"Huh" Zhu Jin was taken aback and shook her head blankly. "How is that possible! It's always Liang Xiaoge who brings it, just the basics—two dishes and one soup. One lunch box is enough. King Wu doesn't really care what he eats... But he instructed us to take good care of the young princess. He said you were a pampered young lady at home, and we can't let you feel wronged."

This Mu Wanchen! He's ruined my reputation! I'm not that difficult to please! I eat salted vegetable buns just fine!

"So much... I can't finish it all by myself. Would you guys like to share" I asked.

Xi Fu-ren was stunned for a moment, put down the plate and said: "How dare we share a meal with you The Wuzhi King should be back to eat together. But you don't have to wait for him, he told you that you can move freely."

I rolled my eyes. Since he's busy, I guess I'll just eat myself and wait no longer for him.

Although there are people watching me eat, I'm used to it and just ignore them and fill my own stomach.

I'm not usually this tired and hungry...

Thinking about this, I instinctively reached out and touched my belly. Could it be because of the female gu

Mu Wanchen said that Xingye Lake was a place of Hun Yuan Qi, where no one else was allowed to set foot. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was mixed together there, wouldn't it make the Xi Gu grow stronger

"...Little Princess, what's wrong with you" Xi Fu saw that I stopped my chopsticks and stepped forward, concerned. "Is it not to your taste"

"No, it's nothing." I rubbed my stomach and was about to bow my head to eat.

Before I bowed my head, I caught a glimpse of Lady Xi's face. There was a hint of anxiety and fear in her eyes.

What Are you afraid I'll say the things she sent are not tasty

Is Mu Wanchen this fierce

I wiped my mouth, and the people waiting outside were already impatient, shouting at the door: "Has the little princess woken up Please hurry up and try on the wedding dress! Otherwise, we'll miss the appointed time!"

I opened the door and looked at the crowd standing outside. "What time is it" I asked.

A thin, middle-aged man rushed up to me and bowed. "Your Highness, the Shaman King has decreed that tonight at midnight we shall offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, as well as the rivers and streams—"

"The 子時!" I widened my eyes, "You guys are getting married in the middle of the night—!"oring household affairs.Miss was so troubled that she wanted to commit suicide."Speaking of this, Meng Shu covered her mouth and chuckled: "I wonder how long Bai Qiye has been peeping. He's such a mis...
