23 Princess and Prince Ying Birthday 1
The person is a natural danger!
Feng An felt alarmed, but since he didn't hurt his miss and sense that he is a good man to Li Wei. If they become closer, he is sure that Liu Xu can protect her.
"Xu, I owe you a debt. I'll be going now and find something to repay you." Noticing the odd ambiance between the two. She spoke in a languid voice.
"Feng An, let's go."
Even though, they became friends today. Li Wei is still distant towards him. How can she not put up her guard when she doesn't know the man's intention in getting closer to her. Although she appreciates the kindness, it doesn't mean that she already let down her guard and made him enter her life.
This is a different world when she thought she already know a little more. Today, she felt she's been an ignorant fool.
Watching the carriage getting further away. Liu Xu returns in his residence. The instance that he came back home, he called his trusted man to investigate Li Wei's background.
"Know every information about Li Wei. Every.single.detail."
The black-clothed man nodded and exit the room.
In Li Wei's side, she examines the egg and gently knocked on its shell. When Meimei saw the egg her eyes twinkling.
"Young miss, are we going to cook that?" This question received an odd look of her young miss. She suddenly felt embarrassed. And lowered her head.
"This is no food."
Meimei looked at her ladyship weirdly. "Isn't it a chicken egg but just bigger? This world is weird. A chicken egg can evolve into a human head size egg. Wow. If I cook this egg, it would be very delicious!" The maid said stroking her chin, eyes shining with delight.
Li Wei face-palm herself. Her lips twitching. She already said that this egg is no food! It's a beast egg! A pet!
"Meimei, this thing is a pet, not an egg you can cook as scrambled egg."
The maid looked at Li Wei with a pitiful face and false tears. She sighed and patted her head before speaking again.
"I know you like cooking but, this egg will help your miss in the near future." Instantly, the maid's pitiable face blooms a beautiful smile.
"If it can help miss then I won't dare to cook it!"
"Good. Now prepare my warm bath. I'll be going to the Imperial Palace."
"Yes, miss. This servant will leave first." Meimei bowed politely and immediately leave her bedchambers. Li Wei watched her maid. Feng An and Meimei are both older than her for four years and her maid looks like a childish woman in front of her. She didn't feel annoyed but rather...
She finds her Meimei very cute.
Li Wei rubbed her nose. The two even looks good together. If ever the two falls in love with each other, she will find the time wed them.
"I need to prepare myself. This is a cruel world. I may be strong in the past, but I'm not strong here."
This is the world of cultivators. The strong rule the weak. Everything in this world is like this. The big fish eats the small ones. This is the law of the jungle.
"My lady, your bath is ready."
Meimei guided Li Wei to her bathing room. Entering the misty room, she undresses her outer and inner robe and soaks herself in. Li Wei looked at the white petals floating in the water. It's been half a month since the three of them arrive in this world, there are things that she didn't know. How wide is this world? She didn't know and she doesn't care. She just needs to get stronger, and after that, she'll leave this place.
In the first place, this isn't her world and she never cared about any of these world's people. Her only goal in here was to learn and be stronger.
"Meimei."
"Servant is here."
"Come, help me get dress."
Meimei help Li Wei get dress and fix her long black silky hair and finished it with Li Wei's favorite hair ornament, the golden dragon hairpin.
Feng An saw Li Wei beautifully dressed in white cloud silk decorated with a white lily flower. He smiled proudly.
This is their lady, ah!
He snickered inside his heart when he remembered the dangerous man but dashing man earlier. Let see if that man won't fall in love with our lady! If he's not, then he is blind! My lady is a goddess! Many masters sought after her hand and were rejected! That man is lucky to have my lady's company! Hump!
"Feng An, what are you doing? Why are you scowling?"
"Meimei, I just met the unreasonable man earlier. It keeps me in a bad mood."
"You don't have to care about those people. Now, bring young miss to the Imperial Palace."
Li Wei smiled at exchange words of the two. If she hadn't known that they aren't a couple, she would probably think that they are husband and wife.
"Yes yes yes. Don't worry, I'll bring young miss there and get back home safe and sound after."
Inside the Imperial Palace, all the invited people came from large clans and other nobles who have the same stand in the Ying Yue continent. Unfortunately, those who don't have any status will stay in their home have bread in their dinner.
"Prince! Princess! This is my gift! I hope they are to your liking."
Prince Ying nodded and called his servant to receive the gift while Princess Ying glance at the gate, waiting for someone.
"Princess, who's the person you're waiting for? The banquet is about to start, maybe he won't come." Said the Prince when he finds out that her attention isn't on the guest. He always finds her glancing at the gate every time. It looks like her sister is waiting for someone.
"She said she will attend. Naturally, I'll be waiting for her.
"She?"
'I thought it was a man, my heart is ready to celebrate, but, nevermind.' The Prince thought.
"What do you think about Li Wei, brother? She's pretty good, right? I invited her."
"Yes. She's good."
"She's strong and very beautiful. A perfect match for my brother." Princess Ying looked at her brother teasingly.
"W-what are you talking about, sister? Stop talking nonsense!" Prince Ao will kill me if he finds out that you're playing matchmaker, little twin sister! Liu Xu is very interested in her and I don't want to ruin our friendship. What's more, I don't have any romantic feelings about the girl! I still need my life!
"Oh brother! Oh brother! What should I do? I like her for you."
'Oh, I'm dead.'
