Chapter 97 - The Royal Princess (3) (2/2)

That’s right!

Ming Shu excitedly put her hands together, murmuring, “The fruit on the tree will all fall at the same time.”

Then she looked up at the fruit with wide open, anticipatory eyes, praying,Come on, come on, I will catch you.

A minute passed. The fruits were still smiling at her from the branches.

Three minutes passed and the fruits still remained unbothered.

Ten minutes passed and the fruits still didn’t fall down.

One hour passed…

Why?! This skill is not useful at all.

[Are you serious? Guest….] That powerful skill… you just tried to use it to pick fruit? How is this…

Hualalala!

Pengpeng—

Before the Harmony System finished its complaint, all the fruit on the tree suddenly began to fall down, leaving an empty tree standing before Ming Shu all at once.

Not! One! Single! Fruit! Was! Left!

[…] I maybe once thought highly of this skill.

Come on.

It’s prophecy, not speaking in tongues, okay?!

Ming Shu covered her head which had been pebbled fiercely by the falling fruit. “Come on! Couldn’t you tell me when you were about to fall down? That hurts.”

Ming Shu picked up a few fruits and stuffed them into her mouth.

You dare to hit me, I’m going to eat you!

…

On a shaded path not far away…

A man riding on a horse with a small group of people was taking a temporary rest there. He looked through the leaves and stared at the girl eating fruits on the grass.

“Lord, it seems to be the royal princess.” The guard behind him took several steps forward and reported respectfully, “The news said the emperor’s team was attacked while travelling a few days ago, and the royal princess was lost. His Majesty is now sending people out to find her. Should I bring her over?”

“No.” The man looked over with a blank expression.

“Lord, if we take the royal princess back safe and sound right now, it may save us many troubles. It’s good for us.” The royal princess was a great trump card.

“No need.”

The lord said this in a cold voice and prepared to leave.

“Uncle, can you give me a ride?” Free ride, lucky me! I don’t want to run around in the wild for food, this weak body is so frustrating!

A melodic voice rang from behind him, and the little girl who was just now sitting under the tree now stood not far away with a few fruits in her arms, looking at him with a smile.

The man frowned slightly. How come she’s so fast?

“You’re speaking to the wrong person.”

“…” The wrong person? Impossible. The sign of King Huai’s house was so striking, and she was not blind.

But Ming Shu didn’t argue with him. She held the fruit and turned around, leaving.

No free ride, she had to accept the trials and hardships and walk back.

“Lord, we will meet again when we enter the city. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to say that,” the guard whispered into the man’s ear. “You haven’t returned home for many years, but the royal princess could still recognize you, she is not stupid. Lord, we have to be careful not to get caught on the wrong side. And it is not good to offend her.”

She was the beloved “baby” of the Heavenly Temple.

If they didn’t run into each other, it might make sense. But now the royal princess was aware of them. And she greeted them. If they ignored her, and something bad happened to her in the end, then lots of people would take the chance to pour dirty water on the lord.

The man seemed to be impatient and said with a black face, “You send her back.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The guard breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the lord would disagree.

The lord jumped onto his horse, patting it; then the horse rushed out. Ming Shu was walking on the side of the road, and the horse passed by with a gust of wind. She only saw the man’s figure disappearing after a very short time.

“…” Such an arrogant lord. Does your elder brother know about that?

Who was his elder brother?

Well, his elder brother was the country’s emperor.

Therefore, the Host called him Uncle in respect.
