“I never knew the princess of Nanzhao knew Ye Xuan... I’ve never heard of it.”
“Could it be that Ye Xuan is the lover the princess mentioned?!”
As they watched the girl in the scene talking to Ye Xuan, the people of Nanzhao whispered among themselves.
“Hey, hey...” Hearing their murmurs, Mo Qingshang felt a bit speechless. He turned to Nan Ming and said, “Prince Nan Ming, I hear your people saying that Ye Xuan is your princess’s lover. What’s going on?”
There’s a saying that salting someone’s wounds causes the most pain. It was clear that Prince Nan Ming loved his princess very much, so bringing up Ye Xuan and his princess would surely anger him, right?
However, Nan Ming did not show any signs of anger upon hearing Mo Qingshang’s words. He simply looked at the girl in the sky with deep affection and said nothing more.
“Uh...” Seeing this, Mo Qingshang felt a bit helpless. Oh well, since Prince Nan Ming already hated Ye Xuan, there was no need to go overboard. Even if he didn’t side with him, it wouldn’t affect his plans.
Mo Qingshang’s attention returned to the sky. Really, Ye Xuan’s luck with women was incredible. Why were all the women around him so beautiful?
Couldn’t there be a few ugly ones, or a couple of heavyweights? If Ye Xuan fell in love with an ugly woman or a heavyweight, he would surely be a laughing stock. Such a pity–!!!
“Hey, pervert, you don’t look like you’re from the southern border. What are you doing here?” The girl, Wu Simai, asked Ye Xuan.
“Just traveling. I heard the southern border has beautiful scenery, so I came to see for myself. Indeed, it is wonderful.”
Ye Xuan looked at Wu Simai and praised, “The southern border not only has beautiful scenery but also beautiful girls different from the beauties of the central plains.”
Hearing this, Wu Simai was initially stunned but quickly responded, “You mean... I’m pretty, right? Hehe, just say it directly. You people from the central plains like to beat around the bush.”
“Cough.” Ye Xuan coughed lightly and said, “That was a pretty direct praise.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at Wu Simai. Wu Simai was dressed in the typical attire of a southern border girl, wearing a silver necklace with small bells that jingled pleasantly as she moved.
However, she didn’t wear the silver hat typical of southern border girls; instead, her hair was tied into a high ponytail. Though simple and plain, it gave her a unique and fresh beauty with her stunning looks.
“My name is Ye Xuan. What’s your name, miss?”
“Me?” The girl looked Ye Xuan up and down and laughed, “I’m not telling you, you pervert. Goodbye–!”
With that, Wu Simai turned and left. Ye Xuan watched her leave, a look of reluctance in his eyes. After all, anyone would be reluctant to part with such a beautiful girl. Unless, of course, that person wasn’t a man...
Everything happening in the scene seemed like just an unusual acquaintance, but many began to feel a sense of unease. Ye Xuan bore the shackles of destiny.
If he fell in love or someone wanted to get close to him, it would mark the beginning of his despair. Hopefully, his meeting with the princess of Nanzhao was just a simple acquaintance.
Perhaps it was his lingering thoughts about the girl, but Ye Xuan did not stay long by the pool and decided to follow the direction the girl had left. He wanted to see if fate would bring them together again.
However...
Ye Xuan had barely walked a few steps when he suddenly smelled blood. His expression changed as he rushed forward.
The next moment, he was shocked by what he saw. The girl was sitting on the ground, a small, blood-red snake biting her wrist.
“Ah–!!!” Seeing this, Ye Xuan immediately ran over and pulled the snake off.
“?!” The girl looked at Ye Xuan in surprise, “What are you doing?!”
“You got bitten by a snake, didn’t you notice?!!” Ye Xuan told her, then, without hesitation, began to suck the venom from her wrist.
The girl instinctively struggled a bit.
Ye Xuan shouted, “Don’t move! At a time like this, what are you shy about?! Do you want to die–!”
“Uh...” Seeing Ye Xuan holding her wrist and sucking, the girl was dumbfounded.
“Pfft...”
“This Ye Xuan is really foolish.”
The people of Nanzhao burst into laughter at the sight of Ye Xuan sucking the girl’s wrist in the scene. Although Ye Xuan was their enemy, the hatred had long passed.
They would still seek revenge, but they didn’t bear a deep grudge all the time.
“??!!!”
However, the reaction of the people of Nanzhao left Mo Qingshang baffled. He curiously asked a half-human, half-ghost woman from Nanzhao, “Miss, Ye Xuan is taking liberties with your princess. Aren’t you angry?”
“What’s there to be angry about?” The woman replied, “He’s just sucking out the snake venom to save her.”
“Uh... then why are you laughing at him?!” Mo Qingshang was genuinely puzzled by the reactions of the people of Nanzhao.
The princess was being taken advantage of, yet neither the prince nor the people were angry? Perhaps, in Nanzhao, the prince and princess weren’t a couple?!!
“Because our princess was just practicing snake Gu, and that snake was a rare poisonous snake she found.”
The woman laughed, “Ye Xuan, not knowing anything, pulled out the snake and interrupted her practice. Then, foolishly, he sucked out the venom. Isn’t that funny?”
“Uh...”
The woman’s words left many cultivators speechless.
“What... exactly are you doing?!!” Seeing Ye Xuan sucking her wrist, Wu Simai couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated.
“I’m sucking out the snake venom to save your life.” Ye Xuan replied, feeling a bit dizzy himself. The snake venom was highly toxic...
“Pfft.” Wu Simai laughed, “Who asked you to save me? I was just practicing snake Gu. You have some cultivation, yet you didn’t even realize that?!”
“Uh...” Hearing this, Ye Xuan felt thoroughly embarrassed.
“Hahaha...”
At this moment, all the people of Nanzhao laughed heartily. The cultivators around them, however, had strange expressions. Your princess was being taken advantage of, yet you’re so happy about it?
Even if people from the southern border are more open than those from the central plains, this seems a bit too open!
