By 'letter to the humans', Guardian Li was naturally saying that they should send a letter to Chen Changsheng.
Guardian Li believed that given the teacher-student relationship between the Pope and the princess, as long as Chen Changsheng knew of this marriage, he would find a way to resolve it. Whether it was a personally written letter or some other method, he could place significant pressure on the Empress, making her think a little before acting. However, for some reason, Princess Luoluo had never agreed. If this were three years ago, one could say that the Pope was too difficult to find, but the entire continent now knew that the Pope had begun to involve himself in the continent's affairs once more and had even taken part in many momentous events.
”Teacher… it's hard to say whether he's had a good time these last few years.”
Luoluo softly added, ”He still has many things that he needs to do. I'm not able to help him as his student, nor can I add to his troubles.”
Guardian Li was somewhat anxious. ”How is this adding to his troubles? And besides, back in the capital…”
Luoluo knew what she wanted to say and shook her head. ”Back in the capital, from the Grand Examination to the Mausoleum of Books to the Garden of Zhou, you and I seemed like the Orthodox Academy's greatest backer, but in reality, the limitations of my status meant that we could never provide any strength. Moreover, just like now, Teacher never requested anything of me.”
Guardian Li was somewhat perplexed as to what she meant.
”This is the reason Teacher never sent me any letters except to give homework.”
Luoluo opened her eyes wide and seriously said, ”None of you understand Teacher's intentions. He… he pampers me.”
Guardian Li was startled, then asked, ”Then Your Highness, how come you understand?”
Luoluo said matter-of-factly, ”Because I'm Teacher's student.”
Guardian Li originally intended to continue her persuasions, but seeing Luoluo's expression, all she did was sigh.
Luoluo comforted her, ”No matter what Mother thinks, she doesn't mean me any harm. After all, I am her daughter by blood.”
Guardian Li thought, this truly is the case. Empress only has this one treasured daughter; how could she not dote on her?
”But… what if Empress really does plan to marry you to Second Prince?”
”Are you talking about my cousin from the Great Western Continent? I met him once when I was still very young.”
Luoluo recalled those childhood years and giggled. ”He certainly won't want to marry me.”
Guardian Li thought, that second prince has no means of inheriting the throne of the Great Western Continent, but if he marries you, he can become the next White Emperor. Why wouldn't he be willing?
”Who's willing to marry a tigress?”
Luoluo stretched out her little hands and assumed a pouncing posture. ”If he really has gotten so bold and insists on marrying me, I'll bite him to death.”
After saying this, she opened her mouth and growled. She didn't seem like a tiger, but a little cat, almost impossibly adorable.
Guardian Li could not resist, embracing Luoluo into her bosom and saying with a beaming face, ”Who wouldn't like a little baby like my princess?”
Then she remembered something and huffed, ”It's only the Pope that is not blessed with this happiness.”
Luoluo couldn't help but giggle at this grumbling, then she blinked and whispered a few words into her ear.
Guardian Li froze at these words, then asked, ”So this is what Your Highness was thinking?”
Luoluo opened her eyes wide and innocently returned, ”I'm not thinking about anything.”

Beyond the cliff, clouds lingered.
Tang Thirty-Six stared at Zhexiu's pale cheeks, his own complexion somewhat pale as he said, ”Don't scare me like that.”
Zhexiu realized that his joke had not been effective, so he had returned to his habitual silence.
Tang Thirty-Six turned to Chen Changsheng and asked, ”Just what's going on here?”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”Just as you saw.”
Tang Thirty-Six was quite incensed, shooting back, ”He was still brimming with energy yesterday; how was it possible to tell that he's at death's door?”
