She Ran Away

They were worried that she would get away, so they quickly surrounded her.

"The king of the mermaids has treated you well enough, but you have injured our princess!"

"Are all humans so ungrateful?"

"Why did you hurt our princess? Did you not know that no one should harm our princess?"

Their accusations went on and on.

Gu Xijiu responded icily, "Don't worry; I will not run away!" She cast a hard look at the concubine, "Aren't you going to explain the situation to your people?"

The wife was tongue-tied. "What… What should I explain?"

Gu Xijiu smiled at her and answered nonchalantly, "You do not have to, but the doubts will clear up when the facts are known. You can rest assured that I will not go anywhere! I will be back in two hours to make sure justice is served." She turned swiftly and disappeared into thin air.

The crowd was astounded.
