Enemy in sight! Attack!

  "Hmm......" Where is this? What happened to me? An Ran's consciousness gradually returned, and she opened her eyes in a daze. The first thing that entered her line of sight was the face of a black-haired young man, who was staring at her with surprise. "Who are you?" An Ran reflexively turned around and kicked towards Mo Xiao Xiao's head.

  "Wake up, wake up! Qi Shi, come and take a look... Wow!" Seeing the blue-haired girl waking up, Mu Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim excitedly. At this moment, that strange girl suddenly kicked towards her, and in great surprise, Mu Xiao Xiao stared at the incoming kick, forgetting to dodge or completely failing to react, just about to be kicked...

  "Bang!"

  "Hey, Xiao Xiao, you're still so childish... can't you calm down a bit?" As she spoke, a small white hand stretched out from beside her and grabbed the ankle of the blue-haired woman. The owner's gaze was cold as they looked at her, "We rescued you from the seaside, is this how you treat your benefactors?"

  "...Looking at the green-haired little girl next to him, who was half a head shorter than himself, speaking in an unbecoming tone and feeling a surge of great power coming from her feet, An Ran was stunned for a moment. When he saw the calm gaze in Kiriya's eyes, he came back to his senses, looked at the little girl in front of him, then glanced at the young man beside him with a lingering fear on his face, and withdrew his foot."

  "Sorry..."

  "Hmph, this time I'll let it slide," seeing the blue-haired girl admit her mistake, Nanashi released his grip, "but next time you offend me like that, it won't be so easy to get away with."

  "Sorry... thank you for saving me..." The blue-haired girl might not be good with words, facing Qi's words, she was choked up for half a day and could only utter these few words.

  "Wow, it's really scary," Mu Xiaoxiao patted her own chest, "Thanks a lot..."

  "You too, Xiao Xiao!" But before she knew it, Qi Shi suddenly turned his gaze towards her. Xiaoxiao felt a jolt in her heart as Qi Shi's gaze landed on her.

  "What's wrong with me?"

  "If it weren't for me just now, you might have had to withstand that attack, right? You clearly have decent abilities, but because you have no combat experience at all, you were stunned there, wasn't that the case?"

  "Uh..." Mu Xiao was at a loss for words, and indeed it was so.

  "Although that time you would have only gotten a little hurt, but in the future if you encounter any sudden dangers that threaten your life, what will you do, little one?"

  "Hmm... so Qi Shi, what do you mean?" Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, looking at Qi Shi with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

  "That's right! In order to rapidly improve your combat experience, from now on, I'll personally train you! This is also so that you can have the ability to protect yourself!"

  "Training......" Mu Xiao's mouth twitched, and she nodded, "Okay......since you've all said so......" Mu Xiao also hoped to become stronger as soon as possible, so she didn't reject training and the like, "But......why the hurry?"

  "Are you in a hurry?" Qi Shi shook his head, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes were somewhat heavy, "I'm not very clear either, I just have a premonition, storm... that sense of crisis is about to arrive... if we continue to be so lazy and slack, we will die..."

  Saying that, Qi Zhen looked at Xiao Xiao's eyes and saw a flash of worry and tenderness, but it was fleeting, and no one noticed.

  "Ah," Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the blue-haired woman who had been silent since the beginning, "So, Qi Shi, what you said about the storm and crisis, should be related to her?"

  "Well... probably, after all the sea doesn't seem to have had any accidents, it looks like you shouldn't be here because of a shipwreck, right? But for some other reason?" Kōnana turned his gaze towards the blue-haired woman. "So, can you tell us who you are? Of course, just asking for your name would be impolite, so let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Kōnana, and this person next to me is my master, Mù Xiǎo Xiǎo."

  He actually took the liberty of exposing his own name, Mu Xiaoxiao was depressed, but it didn't matter anymore, he just knew the name.

  Master? Upon hearing Qi Shi's words, the blue-haired woman looked at Mu Xiao Xiao in surprise, clearly not expecting them to be in such a relationship. However, since that powerful girl was this young man's servant, it meant that this young man's background was definitely not ordinary. Thinking of this, An Ran took a deep breath, "Alright, I can tell you my identity, but... if you understand these things, you might get dragged into it as well, are you still willing to listen?"

  “......”

  Muxiao looked at Qi'er and nodded slightly in her direction.

  "That's right," seeing Mu Xiao nodding, Qi Shi understood his meaning and said to An Ran beside him, "I think that from the moment we came into contact with you, it was impossible for us to remain uninvolved, so letting us know the inside story shouldn't be an excessive request, should it?"

  "Alright, I understand," said the blue-haired girl, nodding her head as she looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and Xue Qi. "My name is An Ran, I am..."

  ......

  "Princess?!" Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes shining with surprise. Under An Ran's somewhat uncomfortable gaze, she looked him up and down, this was the first time she had seen a prince. Speaking of which, were all princesses in other worlds so... ordinary? Looking at the plain clothes on An Ran's body, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it.

  "I'm not a princess," An Ran shook her head, her eyes somewhat dimmed. "I'm just an ordinary person, only because of my mother's reasons did I have this kind of relationship... In fact, until now, I've been living the life of an ordinary person, and that's exactly what I wanted. As for the noble princess identity, I don't care about it..."

  "So that's it, a bastard child," Mu Xiao nodded and clapped her hands, "I roughly understand now. Since you're a bastard child, to be exact, the child of the empress and someone else, then the emperor of your empire is very angry and wants to capture and silence you, right?"

  "Although it's not entirely accurate, that's roughly how it is..."

  "...What a ridiculous development..." Murmured a sentence, Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, "In that case...it seems we don't have much to do with it anymore, after all this kind of thing is your family's internal affair...so in that case..."

  "No, just as that... girl said," An Ran shook his head, knowing what Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to say, and broke his idea without hesitation. "You already know this news, you can't escape now, do you think the emperor will let those who have learned about this scandal survive?"

  "She's right, Xiao Xiao," Qi Shi also took over the conversation and said, "After all, that emperor was going to kill them to silence them because he didn't want this kind of thing to be made public. Of course, there's also the factor of imperial shame, so I think... who is it?!"

  "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two sharp sounds suddenly came from outside the window, and two black objects flew in rapidly.

  "Hmph!" Qi Qi Shi Leng let out a cold snort, suddenly reaching out to grab the collars of Mu Xiao Xiao and An Ran, pulling them to his side. With one kick, he sent the bamboo chair flying...

  Bang!

  "This is!" Looking at the two black flying knives stuck in the ground and the bamboo chair that had been reduced to fragments, his pupils suddenly constricted, "Enemy attack?"

  "It's almost certain, seeing that one move didn't hit, you're going to flee a thousand miles away?" Discovering the silence outside the door, Qi Er's mouth corner revealed an evil smile. "Wanting to escape from my palm, it's too naive, Xiaoxiao, you all stay at home, I'll go catch that slightly disobedient little mouse!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out without waiting for Xiaoxiao's response. Each time he jumped, he reached the height of those tall trees, dozens of meters high, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Xiaoxiao and Anran stunned and sighing that Qi Shi was indeed incredibly heaven-defying...
