I'm a princess, so what if I have three husbands?

Chapter 5: Getting to Know Some Dead

Yan Ruoyu frowned. Was this girl being a little too familiar?

But they did have candy on hand; it was wedding candy for the inbound travelers.

He nodded and winked at his attendants, while He Yuhuan circled around Zhongli Yueluo.

She also shrunk the golden mace and put it away, hanging it on her waist.

She sniffed around like a puppy.

Before anyone could react, she grabbed Zhongli Yueluo's arm with both hands and bit her with her sharp teeth.

She drank her blood! Zhongli Yueluo winced in pain, clutching her arm.

Her blood can ward off all demons, but her blood flute has not yet been crafted, so it probably cannot control He Yuhuan in front of her.

He Yuhuan licked her lips: "It tastes good, even better than brains. From now on, I, He Yuhuan, will follow you!"

Zhongli Yueluo looked bewildered. The gloomy and bloodthirsty little girl in her memory was now going to be her follower?

She clutched her arm: "He Yuhuan? Does that mean I can just let bygones be bygones when I crossed the river?"

He Yuhuan nodded, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. Zhongli Yuelu frowned, thinking that this was for the best.

Perhaps we can still find clues about her mother's whereabouts from He Yuhuan's words.

She then turned to look at Yan Ruoyu, her face still filled with pity: "Young Master Yan, thank you. When you saved me just now, I glanced at you, and you were so handsome."

In this life, she will not let down anyone who is good to her.

Yan Ruoyu held the Xuan Gu Fan in her hand, her eyes filled with guilt and pity.

He couldn't see through her, but he had a feeling that this girl had taken liberties with him!

A perceptive guard blocked Yan Ruoyu's path, drew his sword, and glared at Zhongli Yueluo: "How dare you be disrespectful to our young lord!"

Zhongli Yueluo revealed two innocent-looking dimples: "I like good-looking people. Now that the crisis has been resolved, I'll take my leave first."

Zhongli Yueluo used her legs to propel herself into the air, but the golden deer token fell onto the deck.

Seeing that her snacks were about to run away, He Yuhuan leaped into the air and chased after them, leaving everyone on the boat to watch the two figures, one blue and one colorful, disappear into the river.

"Young Master, could it be that the Medicine Deer Clan deliberately sent someone to test us?"

With a flick of his wrist, the golden deer token flew into his hand.

He rubbed the deer-shaped plaque with his thumb, thinking that the woman in blue meant him no harm and that every word she spoke was sincere.

"Check who owns this deer token." He only knew that the golden deer token belonged to royalty, but he had never had any connection with the Medicine Deer royal family and did not know anyone there.

But the way that girl looked at him just now gave him a feeling of traveling through ten thousand years.

Zhongli Yueluo turned around and looked at the red silk boat, "selecting relatives and friends."

But she discovered that He Yuhuan, baring her sharp teeth and with a hint of madness in her eyes, was flying towards her.

This is on the Wuxin River, He Yuhuan's home turf. Her eyes look like she's chasing prey.

Although she had thought she would come along, she never expected to see such a terrifying scene when she turned around.

"Why are you running away? I, He Yuhuan, have said I'll follow you from now on. My reward is simply to drink your blood!"

As he spoke, he cracked his teeth and chuckled.

And it was moving extremely fast, getting closer and closer. Zhongli Yueluo shouted, "Don't come any closer!"

The sound echoed across the entire river. The guard beside Yan Ruoyu looked at him and asked, "That girl should be alright, right?"

Yan Ruoyu smiled, pursed her lips, and clapped her hands while holding the Xuan Bone, without saying a word.

Upon hearing Zhongli Yueluo's shout, He Yuhuan blinked her blue eyes and stopped.

He was still wondering why she looked so terrified. Was there something scary behind him?

"Hey He Yuhuan, let's talk about this once we get to the shore, okay?" Once they reach the shore, there's an agreement among their various tribes.

Liang Heyu wouldn't do anything to her, and she could also subtly inquire whether she knew her mother's whereabouts.

He Yuhuan didn't give chase, but followed Zhongli Yueluo to the shore.

This feeling of being grounded finally allowed Zhongli Yueluo to breathe a sigh of relief.

He Yuhuan blinked her big eyes, her row of sharp teeth gleaming. Zhongli Yuelu was really afraid that she would rush up and bite her.

Zhongli Yueluo still couldn't completely trust this innocent-looking little girl, after all, she was a bloodthirsty person in her past life.

What if she has some kind of relationship with Gongshu Liang?

She asked tentatively, "He Yuhuan, do you know anyone from the Yaolu tribe?"

She nodded: "I eat a lot of the brains of the dead Medicine Deer Clan every year, so I should be considered to know them." She grinned.

"Are they alive?"

He Yuhuan bit her finger: "Right now, it's just you."

Zhongli Yueluo finally breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Gongshu Liang must have caught her from behind.

"Here, have this candy. I have something to ask you."

She skipped and hopped as she took the candy. Aside from her somewhat scary appearance, she was actually quite innocent and cute in her behavior.

"Are there any prisons along the Heartless River, the kind used to imprison Blood Demons?"

He Yuhuan thought for a moment and shook her head. The Blood Demon Clan was a race that she had only heard of in legends. How could it appear in the Heartless River?

Yuanyue Pavilion

Qiaoyin knocked on the door but received no answer. She mustered her courage and pushed the door open, only to find the room empty. The Second Princess was gone!

She quickly ran out towards Yuanyu Pavilion, where the eldest princess had instructed her to keep an eye on Zhongli Yueluo's movements.

But she chased everyone away from the yard, and in a moment of carelessness, the person disappeared.

If Zhong Liyu knew this, he would skin her alive; she went straight to the inner courtyard after arriving at Yuanyu Pavilion, in a great hurry.

Zhongli Yu was looking at a map in his room, pondering which clan would be easier to target first after Zhongli Yueluo's marriage alliance.

"Eldest Princess, Second Princess has escaped!"

Zhong Liyu raised an eyebrow. Escape? Her stupid little sister had never even left Taiyuan City. How could she escape?

"Is it hiding somewhere again? Search carefully."

"We have searched the entire Yuanyue Pavilion, but we still cannot find the Second Princess."

As he spoke, he repeatedly kowtowed on the ground, fearing that Zhongli Yu would punish him.

Zhong Liyu rubbed her temples with her jade-like hands. Could it be that her younger sister had really been faking it all along?

Did she hear news about her mother near the Heartless River?

Impossible, because her mother, Ruan Xinchen, has already been transferred to Taiyuan Prison.

Since she's already run away, let her suffer a bit outside.

"Qiaoyin, you go back to Yuanyue Pavilion first. Oh, and go and be invited by Young Master Gongshu."

Qiaoyin retreated tremblingly to fetch Gongshu Liang, while Zhongli Yu drew a talisman in the air, from which a shadow emerged.

"Send ten Shadow Fox Guards, skilled in tracking, to teach Zhongli Yueluo a lesson!"

"Yes, princess."

Gongshu Liang arrived at Yuanyu Pavilion shortly afterward, his eyes shining as he stared at Zhongli Yu's graceful figure.

Their dual cultivation of medicine and fox spirits was indeed quite effective. He walked over and touched her hair.

"Ayu, what do you want? Do you miss me again?"
