Protect Our Clan Leader

For tens of thousands of years, the Immortal Dynasty has maintained the stability of the outland battlefield with this system, safeguarding the tranquility of the Human race. And in this process, countless people have shed their blood on the battlefield, never to return again.

At this moment.

Outside the Sky-Port, the crowd was dense, with many friends and relatives seeing off their loved ones on an expedition. Some were giving reminders and advice, while others were silently shedding tears in worry.

Although newcomers, upon their first deployment to the outland battlefield, will undergo a period of training and learning first, and will not be sent to the very front lines, nothing is absolute. The battlefield is ever-changing, and there is no absolutely safe place. No one can guarantee that one's first service won't end with perishing on the outland battlefield.

This day, it was also the day Princess Su Yun donned her armor once again to return to the outland battlefield.

Being a "veteran" who had spent years on the outland battlefield, Princess Su Yun was quite familiar with this scene, and her mindset was stable. Naturally, she declined most people's farewells, with only those closest to her, Queen Lan Xin and Hundred Refinements True Monarch, lingering in emotional farewell under the Flying Boat.

"Su Yun, these are the Nine Rotation Heart-Protecting Sacred Pills I commissioned the Royal Danfang to refine. This batch was lucky, five pills came out, all for you," Queen Lan Xin said, handing the five Spirit Jade-carved pill bottles to Princess Su Yun, cautioning, "Your injuries aren't fully healed; on the battlefield, please be extremely careful, avoid fights when you can."

"Thank you, Ancestor Lan Xin." Princess Su Yun felt the warmth of familial concern, warming her heart.

"Why are you being polite? If it weren't for your ideas, I might have missed the most beautiful chapter of my life." As Queen Lan Xin spoke, she glanced at Hundred Refinements True Monarch beside her. Her brows and eyes carried a smile, with happiness almost overflowing from her gaze.

"Xin'er is right." Hundred Refinements True Monarch, hearing this, dominantly wrapped an arm around Queen Lan Xin's fragrant shoulders, appearing smug and full of proclaimed ownership. "Her Highness, the Eldest Princess, is a benefactor to both of us. I have developed the Hundred Refinement Heaven Shaking Thunder on my own, thirty shots in total, as a token of thanks to Her Highness."

"Hundred Refinements, no touching! Such public displays, don't you feel ashamed!"

"Xin'er, you are my woman, whether the seas dry up or the mountains crumble, even if this world is destroyed, this fact will never change," Hundred Refinements True Monarch declared deeply, exuding the demeanor of a lover saint. "I will protect you this lifetime, and the next, with this domineering Qilin Arm."

"You scoundrel are too terrible~ Being bullied by you in this lifetime isn't enough; you even covet the next."

"Xin'er, meeting you brought color to my life, brought beauty."

The two began exchanging flirtations and banter, growing sticky sweet to the point of being overwhelmingly eye-piercing.

Seeing this, Princess Su Yun's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, barely managing to suppress a mouthful of old blood from spewing out.

So, the two of you weren't here to see me off, but purely here for "emotional poisoning," huh?!

And what troubled Princess Su Yun's mind even more was the fact that all of this was actually "facilitated" by her personally!

After several deep breaths, Princess Su Yun barely held back the impulse to retort, flashing them an awkward yet polite smile: "Ancestor Lan Xin, why don't you two continue chatting, while I board the Flying Boat first?"

"Oh, don't! I still have a lot to tell you. I will soon set off to travel the world with My Brother Hundred Refinements. After this parting, who knows how long it will be before we meet again, there's still a lot I want to say to you."

Then, Princess Su Yun was pulled along by Queen Lan Xin to continue exchanging conversations, continually subjected to forced "emotional poisoning."

Meanwhile.

On the other side of the Yun Yao Flying Boat.

Princess Su Yun's "number one confidant," a strong contender for the future Princess Mansion Head, [Wu Yinghao], was directing his subordinates to transport military supplies box by box onto the Yun Yao Flying Boat.

Standing by his side was a little girl wearing a pretty princess dress and holding a small jade green dragon in her arms.

This little girl was of course Princess Hua Rui, Wang Jidie.

She was smiling at Wu Yinghao, her big eyes blinking: "Brother Hao, will you agree or not~"

"Call me Ancestor!" Wu Yinghao glared at her, "By seniority, I am many years your senior."

"Ancestor Hao, it doesn't matter if you don't agree." The little Princess Hua Rui's eyes curved mischievously, "I heard Sister Su Yun is recruiting staff for the Princess Mansion. I can introduce some outstanding, unmarried uncles and elders from the family to Sister Su Yun. And let me tell you, several of them are no worse than my Forty-Seventh Uncle~"

Wu Yinghao's face darkened.

This little girl's threats were too much; who threatens people like this?

He had witnessed Wang Ningxi's capabilities firsthand. If a few like him — cunning and crafty green tea males — entered the Princess Mansion, wouldn't his position be seriously threatened?

Was it easy for him, Wu Yinghao, to reach this position?

Wu Yinghao really didn't think Princess Hua Rui was joking, as past experiences bore vivid witness, and he had personally tasted the bitterness of her revenge. Too bitter~

"Hahaha~ Hua Rui, you are a princess of our Wu's Family, don't help outsiders!" Wu Yinghao immediately forced a fake smile, patting his chest, "Rest assured, your matters are my Wu Yinghao's matters. I will handle this matter for you smoothly. People, bring those boxes inside."

"Yes, Young Master Yinghao."

A few trusted subordinates from the Wu's Family were summoned over and began carrying boxes into the Yun Yao Flying Boat diligently.

The Little Princess Hua Rui smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Ancestor Yinghao, so when should I enter?"

"It's hot outside, and these goods won't be moved quickly; you should rest at the teahouse nearby for a bit." Wu Yinghao smiled with a "benevolent" look, "Once it's all done, I'll send someone to find you."

Princess Hua Rui, feeling it was indeed a bit sunny here, obediently went off with her Green Dragon to drink tea.

Half a day passed by.

A fleet of Yun Yao Flying Boats took off, disappearing gradually into the distant sky.

Princess Hua Rui waited and waited but never saw Wu Yinghao appear. Her pure eyes slowly became a bit dazed: "Yao, Grandpa Yao, have I been abandoned?"

"Uh... it seems so." Old Yao emerged slowly from the shadows, awkwardly saying, "But Young Master Yinghao did the right thing. You're only eight, not even in the Spirit Platform Realm, going to the outland battlefield is indeed not appropriate."

"Grandpa Yao, could it be you planned this with Wu Yinghao, Wang Ying, Wang Licui, Lan Wanyi, and Zhang Huaibing to deliberately abandon me?" Princess Hua Rui, sensing a flaw, angrily accused with a darkened face, "Too much! This entire stowaway plan was my idea. Without me, they couldn't even board the Flying Boat! How dare they leave me behind, that's too much! Grandpa Yao, you dote on me the most, I believe you wouldn't do this to me, who gave the idea?"

By the end, she was so aggrieved she was nearly in tears.

Waa waa waa~ It's too much! Bullying little children!

"I gave the idea. Butterfly, you're too mischievous; the outland battlefield is no place for you to go lightly."

At this moment, a clear youthful voice suddenly rang out.

As the words fell, a white-robed youth emerged slowly from the teahouse's corner.

This youth, naturally, was Wang Fugui, who had just recently returned from the Spirit Canal Continent.

He was now in his rapid growth phase, having grown quite a bit taller in a short six months, possessing a bit of a youthful aura. Carefully groomed, he exuded the poise and charm of a young nobleman, somewhat reminiscent of a noble plant of elegance.

However, the slight baby fat on his cheeks had yet to disappear, giving him a certain roundness, but it also added to his affable appearance, more so than Wang Anye at his age.

"Brother!"

Princess Hua Rui was momentarily dazed, then immediately recognized him.

Though it had been four years since she last saw him, she was precocious and remembered many things from her childhood. Moreover, she often saw the images transmitted back by her grandfather of her brother, making it natural for her to recognize Wang Fugui.

She threw herself into his arms with excitement: "I thought you were taken away by the bad fairy princess and no longer wanted Butterfly!"

"Bad fairy princess?" Yun Mengyu's figure silently appeared behind Wang Fugui. Having grown into a graceful young lady, her apricot eyes narrowed, looking at Princess Hua Rui quietly, "Butterfly, are you referring to me?"

"Crack!"

The two mischievous "Little Princesses" locked eyes, sparks almost flying in the air between them.
