Chapter 27 New Friends
Chapter
Newcomers
After successfully repelling the group of men in black, Princess Cheng Ruyi and the head chef racked their brains to figure out how to further improve the security of the commercial street.
After careful consideration, they decided to recruit a professional security team to be responsible for the daily patrols and security of the commercial street.
The recruitment work was in full swing when Princess Cheng Ruyi met a young man named Xu Feng.
Xu Feng, after all, was a chivalrous swordsman with extraordinary skills. Having heard of the little princess's heroic deeds, he was filled with admiration for her and eagerly came to apply for a position in the guard team.
On this sunny day, the little princess was leisurely swinging on a swing in the yard when she suddenly heard a commotion.
"I am Xu Feng, I want to see the little princess!" a clear voice rang out. (◣д◢)
"Where did this brat come from? Do you think you can just see the little princess whenever you want?" the guard said irritably. (￣e(￣))
"Hmph, I'm here to apply for the guard team; my martial arts skills are top-notch!" Xu Feng said defiantly.
Hearing the sound, the little princess walked over curiously.
"You're Xu Feng? You don't look particularly special." The little princess looked him up and down.
(?˙ー˙?)……
Xu Feng quickly demonstrated his martial arts skills, and his wonderful performance impressed both the little princess and the steward.
?w?……
"Great, great, you're the one!" the little princess clapped her hands and cheered.
Xu Feng jumped for joy.
"Yay! I've finally joined the guard team!" Xu Feng thought to himself with secret pride.
(′xwx`)……
Princess Cheng Ruyi was quite satisfied with Xu Feng's martial arts skills, secretly thinking to herself, "Wow, this guy is amazing! He's practically the hero I admire!"
(?????)……
So she hired Xu Feng on the spot. Xu Feng truly lived up to the little princess's expectations, leading the guard team to patrol day and night, making the security of the commercial street absolutely foolproof.
During her time with Xu Feng, the little princess discovered that he was not only incredibly skilled in martial arts but also exceptionally kind-hearted and always eager to help others. A warm feeling welled up inside her: "Hehe, Xu Feng is really a great guy. I wish I could stay friends with him forever!" Gradually, the little princess developed a fondness for Xu Feng and regarded him as a close friend.
Xu Feng's feelings for the little princess were genuine. He silently protected her and helped her through her troubles. But he also had some doubts: "I'm just a lowly guard. How could I possibly be worthy of the noble little princess? My duty is to protect her with all my might! I shouldn't have any unrealistic fantasies!" Therefore, Xu Feng didn't dare to easily reveal his feelings.
Just then, Emperor Yunxuan of Yunxuan Kingdom also noticed Xu Feng's outstanding performance. This Emperor Yunxuan had a keen eye; he immediately recognized Xu Feng as a rare talent and praised his martial arts and loyalty highly.
Emperor Yunxuan thought to himself with delight, "Xu Feng is a talented young man! He's highly skilled in martial arts, of excellent character, kind, and loyal. He's perfect for being a bodyguard for my beloved Ruyi. Ruyi is still young, her wings are not yet fully grown, she's fragile, weak, and not strong enough! With this young man temporarily protecting my daughter, Ruyi will be much safer! I won't have to worry about anyone with ulterior motives trying to abduct my precious Ruyi anymore!"
The commenter wrote: "Your Majesty, you seem to have a misunderstanding of the definition of weakness! Your Ruyi is incredibly powerful, she doesn't need protection! She's fragile?! She can command all the divine beasts with a single word, and turn people's fortunes upside down with a single sentence! Who dares to offend her?! Those who offend her will likely meet a terrible end, plagued by bad luck, dying on the spot. She's a powerful figure who decides life and death with a single word, controlling others' destinies! Is that what you call fragile?! Is that what you call weak?! Ahem~ My lords, did you hear what I said? I didn't say anything, I didn't spoil anything! Right?! Ahem~ I came, I waved my sleeve lightly, and I'm gone again!" She dashed away frantically as if her feet were greased... (?w?)
Stagehand: "Hmph! I heard you! You little brat, don't you dare run away! Don't let me catch you, you're so unsportsmanlike, spoiling the whole thing!" ??(◣д◢)??
So, Emperor Yunxuan waved his hand and issued an imperial edict, bestowing an official position upon Xu Feng, making him the personal bodyguard of Princess Cheng Ruyi.
Xu Feng was overjoyed, his heart filled with delight: "Haha, finally I can be close to the little princess! Maybe one day I'll even have a chance to rub her chubby little face! So soft, it feels amazing! Just thinking about protecting the little princess is fantastic!" He immediately accepted the king's appointment and swore to protect Princess Cheng Ruyi's safety with his own life.
From then on, his relationship with the little princess grew even closer, and the two spent countless funny and happy times together.
On this sunny day, Cheng Ruyi suddenly felt like going out of the city to explore. She excitedly found Xu Feng, blinked her big eyes, and said, "Xu Feng, this princess wants to go for a stroll outside the city today, will you come with me?"
Xu Feng inwardly groaned, but dared not disobey the princess's order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "Your Highness, I obey! However... there might be danger outside."
Cheng Ruyi waved her hand dismissively: "With a master like you here, I'm not afraid at all!"
The two arrived at the forest outside the city. Cheng Ruyi hopped around like a cheerful little bird. Suddenly, she discovered a large tree with a big hole in its trunk.
"Wow, this tree hole is so interesting! I want to go in and take a look!" Cheng Ruyi said as she crawled inside.
Xu Feng hurriedly stopped her: "Your Highness, there might be danger inside!"
Cheng Ruyi smiled mischievously: "Don't worry, you'll protect me if there's any danger!"
Xu Feng shook his head helplessly and could only follow her into the tree hole.
The tree hollow was dark and filled with a strange smell. Cheng Ruyi excitedly groped around and suddenly touched something soft.
"Wow! What is this?" she exclaimed.
Xu Feng took the torch and shone it on the ground, where he saw a huge insect lying on the ground.
“Your Highness…this is a caterpillar…” Xu Feng’s voice trembled slightly.
Cheng Ruyi burst into laughter: "Haha, what an adorable caterpillar! I'm going to take it home and keep it as a pet!"
Xu Feng's face darkened, and he secretly groaned, "The little princess's taste is truly unique..."
Just as they were about to leave the tree hollow, they discovered that the exit was blocked by a fallen tree.
"What are we going to do now?" Cheng Ruyi looked at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we'll have to dig a tunnel out from the other side..."
Thus began the arduous "digging journey" for the two. Cheng Ruyi complained as she dug, "Ugh, so tiring! I wish I hadn't come to this lousy tree hollow!"
(?_?)……
Xu Feng smiled wryly, embarrassed: "Your Highness, you said you were going to take the caterpillar back and raise it..."
(“▔?▔) Khan…
After some effort, they finally dug a hole and crawled out of the tree hollow.
Back in the city, Cheng Ruyi excitedly recounted their adventures to the others, making everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Feng secretly groaned and vowed to himself: I must be more careful in the future, and I can't let the little princess fall into such "danger" again...
(?_?)……
Time flies! Thanks to the combined efforts of Princess Cheng Ruyi and the head chef, business on the Auspicious and Prosperous Commercial Street is booming. They've not only brought enormous wealth to the Yunxuan Kingdom, but also created numerous job opportunities for the people!
"Beep..." A familiar system notification sounded as the system activated...
The system, Big White, spoke slowly: "I'm so sorry, little master! It's all Big White's fault!!! (?_?) I'm sorry, little master, the Big White system shop is undergoing an upgrade for the first birthday celebration, and the system is still upgrading... so Big White can't respond to you. Now, the system is giving you a first birthday skill and a first birthday reward! To express my apology, the system is also giving you a special gift from the system shop. You can choose any three items from the system shop to express Big White's apology to you!"
