Chapter 60 - Shi Jing (Nuan) (2/2)

”Alright.” Sheri went to a remote place where the local spring is. It undoubtedly has rocks on it, and she can hide from there. She did a quick bath and a quick change.

When she went back to where Lou Xi is. Lou Xi furrowed his brow.

”What handmade soap did you invent again this time? Lou xi asked.

Before Sheri could answer. Sheri heard a swish sound directing toward them. Sheri and Lou Xi dodge the incoming arrow. 10 men who wore masked appear before them.

Sheri pulled her small knife in her special boots while Lou xi pulled his sword.

This will be the first time Sheri will experience ninja's actions. That's what she was thinking at that moment.

Sheri was shocked to see people can do a real Qinggong movement.

”Jing concentrate,” shouts Lou Xi.

Sheri jolted. She never knew Lou Xi was doing everything he could to protect her.

Sheri joined the fight.

She can't do what they are doing but she is good in close combat. After dodging every arrow and sword, she saw an opportunity to slay one of their companions.

It took them almost half-hour until they capture the remaining ȧssassin. It was hard to capture them since they can do suicide but Sheri has a special weapon to stop them from killing themselves. She put a very potent sleep medicine in her knife that once they were cut on it. The medicine imiditaly goes toward the blood and making immediately sleep.

Ru shan also arrived after he heard some fighting noise. Their camp was also fiercely attacked.

He instantly jumps toward Sheri and looked at her from head to toe.

”Are you alright.” Ru Shan said.

Sheri elevated her one eyebrow. Her intuition that both of them know already her gender is so evident.

The way Lou Xi protects her and the way Ru Shan always care for her.

Sheri didn't answer. Lou xi already saw what happened.

He shakes his head and gently pats his brother's shoulder.

”Let me talk to her.” Lou Xi said gently toward Ru Shan.

Ru Shan undoubtedly has a double feeling. He always wanted to get close to her but somehow his brother is closer toward her.

When they were alone. Sheri speaks up.

”How long your highness?” Sheri asked.

”Sigh, remember the time when we were young, that I touch your ċhėst. I was young at that time and when I understand the physical aspect I recognize who you are. I did my own research and found out the truth. I secretly talk to your father, and he indeed confirms it. At that time my brother accidentally heard when he came asking me something.” Lou Xi said.

Lou xi explains further when he saw Sheri silent.

Sheri was pondering. It's impossible that by doing that he can feel it. She was unconsciously touching her ċhėst and felt like she has had a flat ċhėst until now. She was 14 at that time. She never even had anything at that time.

While thinking and touching her bȯȯbs.

Lou Xi taps her head gently. Sheri waked up from what she's doing.

”Oh,” Sheri said.

Lou Xi sigh and smiles.

”It's ok if you do that in front of me but for others, you have to be mindful.” Lou Xi amusedly said.

”Huh,” Sheri asked. She was genuinely thinking the whole time. She and the crown prince had so many nights that they sleep together. Sheri can really tell she's a perfect gentleman. She didn't even see nor even realize they know her gender. Yes, she had a feeling but it's always being put aside.

Sheri wanted to run toward a wall and just slam her head. How stupid and ignorant she becomes.
