Chapter 147: Chapter 138: Prince Xingyang

Shen Jingxian: ?

The leader said again that these people have traveled miles and miles just to see for themselves what the legendary Princess is like. They’re not refugees; they are registered citizens with names from various county towns and villages.

Now Shen Jingxian understood; it was probably that strange aura of hers acting up again.

Turning proper and respectable men and women into the appearance of refugees, this aura was truly malicious! It was blatantly trying to harm her!

Having understood this, Shen Jingxian decided to meet those people, not only to distribute food to them but also to escort them home!

Our slogan is: Refuse all bizarre death flags!

The “refugees” were very excited after seeing the Princess; they shouted a person’s name, and upon careful listening, it could be identified as four words: Ah Wei is dead.

Shen Jingxian displayed the spirit she had from watching anime in her previous life to comfort the refugees. Under the Princess’s allure, they were willing to accept the food and let the soldiers escort them home.

Of course, the fake refugees expressed that a gentleman does not eat food given with disdain; their food was not taken for nothing. So, they handed over pieces of bark they had treasured for days to the soldiers, which was considered bartering.

A soldier, feeling dejected, accepted a piece of bark said to have been treasured for four days, with the words “thank you” stuck in his throat, unsure if he should say them.

Shen Jingxian’s last memory was of a group of people lying on the ground shouting long live the Princess, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already back in the carriage.

“Dark One!”

“I am here!”

“Report the situation.”

“Please allow me to ask a few questions, the king covered the tiger.”

“The kitten catches the mouse.”

“When will the bright moon appear?”

“Look up and see for yourself.”

“Worry can make a nation thrive.”

“Closing the eyes can nourish the mind.”

After confirming there were no errors, Dark One began to report the events to Shen Jingxian.

“A bunch of lowly people! How dare they look directly at this Princess!” A moment ago, the Princess glanced sideways disdainfully, speaking to the refugees with contempt.

Dark One, with your way of storytelling, it’s truly a waste not to let you write novels.

Dark One was already trying hard to narrate calmly, but Shen Jingxian still sensed a social death from Dark One’s words.

“The Princess even pointed to a refugee, wanting to chop off his head.”

Rubbing her temples, Shen Jingxian told herself to stay strong, “And then?”

“Following your earlier instructions, I knocked you out and explained to the refugees, who then believed it.”

“Did they express anything?”

“The refugees said they would definitely protect Your Highness from the demon’s hand, some even said they knew reliable masters and wanted to refer them to Your Highness.”

Referral…

Shen Jingxian initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, might this not be an idea, perhaps there really is someone in this world who can peer into the Heavenly Dao.

The Hidden Guard immediately went to communicate with the people who claimed to know the masters. The people were somewhat taken aback, as they had just casually mentioned it back then, not really expecting the Princess to actually seek their help.

The Hidden Guard once explained to them that while the Princess was defending the country on the battlefield, she was cursed by an enemy nation. Now there is a demon lurking in her body, occasionally taking over and doing things that damage the Princess’s reputation.

These kinds of strange tales they wouldn’t normally believe, but the drastic change in the Princess’s demeanor was like she was two different people, and besides, the speed with which the Hidden Guards knocked out the Princess truly scared them; such decisiveness wouldn’t have been possible without prior preparation.

If it were acting, achieving this level of authenticity wouldn’t be possible, and besides, what good would come to the Princess from enacting such a drama.

“The Princess had instructed us that if she did anything to harm the people, we should restrain the Princess as the situation requires, and if necessary…”

“Today’s events, please do not spread them around; the demon inside the Princess is not yet aware. If you startle the snake by beating the grass and harm the Princess, we will hunt you to the ends of the earth and take your head!”

The Hidden Guard’s words seemed to still echo in the air; many were eating the grain given by the Princess, their minds alternating between the smiling fairy-like Princess and the vicious words spoken by the Princess, filling their hearts with mixed feelings.

“The Princess truly wants to consult a master, her men just asked about it!”

“Could it be, the Princess is really possessed by something bad?”

“After all, they’re from Dongwu Country; Dongwu was notorious before too. Dongwu’s women are even more notorious, the Princess surely hit a snag.”
