"What do you mean you have no power?"
The embarrassed crown prince asked, covering his nose which had just stopped bleeding with the care of his beloved. The duo were now by the side of a small stream. Prince Zixin was now sitting on a stone whereas He Jingyi was washing the veil of a certain hat which was unfortunately used as a kerchief by the nose bleeding prince.
He Jingyi was intending on using his own sleeve to wipe the blood off at first. But this crown prince wouldn't let him so. Yeah....Ming Zixin should have used his own then. But how could he bear to taint this personally gifted robe of his princess with his own blood? And that was how this poor veil of his hat ended up turning into a kerchief at last.
"Ta da.... Your Highness, look over here. Your hat looks as good as new once again, doesn't it? "
The enthusiastic He Jingyi asked eagerly....as though seeking for a praise. This youth, despite being brought up as a female, just couldn't do anything household chores related. Mind you, he was daddy He's dearest daughter. Of course, He Jingyi couldn't do them even if he wanted to.
So this simple task of washing a patch of blood stain on the hat was indeed something new to He Jingyi. The youth seemed to be taking it so serious as though he was doing some laundry right now.
"Mn... it looks so clean now. My princess
did an impressive job. "
The infatuated prince couldn't help but to praise his little future wifey. Though there really was no need for her to do such chores after the two of them got married, still..... he had to admit this princess of his would do a really good wifey.
"Dammit..... you're so fuckin annoying, Zixin...
How many time do I have to repeat it? Don't call me princess...ahhh....you really know how to annoy me, don't you? "
Heaving a sigh, the prince folded his arms. It had been countless times that they got in a conflict just because of this little topic about "you...don't call me like that- but I want to. " His initial question as to how this princess lost her power had long been forgotten.
Rising to his feet, the prince walked over to his sulky princess. As to his instincts, Ming Zixin knew there must be some reason behind her dislike to get addressed like a princess. Since it was this princess' desire, then why kept insisting and made his beloved mad?
Ming Zixin stopped at a step distance away from his princess. As a crown prince with some guts as he was, he made a bold move by running his fingers through the princess' hair affectionately. He Jingyi flinched. The prince could trace hints of alarm in her sparkly red ruby eyes at that very moment.
But he didn't halt his moves there. With one hand, Ming Zixin reached out for that pearl white hand of his beloved. He Jingyi frowned. But he simply chose to keep silent, curious as to what this prince was up to.
Taking his princess' hand gently, Ming Zixin lowered his head before giving an affectionate hand kiss to his very beloved.
"May I have the honor to call you 'Jingyi', my princess? Or would it be a bit impolite to address you like that? "
"Eek.... Your Highness, why don't you just ask simply like-
'Can I call you Jingyi? '
No need to make such a big exaggeration. Now.....here I am thinking what got into you all of a sudden. "
He Jingyi just couldn't roll his eyes at this crown prince anymore. If he had to roll his eyes every time he was annoyed by this prince, then tomorrow morning, He Jingyi was not even sure whether he could still manage to open his eyes.
With a handsome smile, Ming Zixin let go the hand of his beloved. Yeah..... it felt so good to kiss that soft pearl white hand of his princess. Ming Zixin really, really loved it. And when he was at it, a perverted desire to lick and have a taste of his future wifey' fingers even popped up. Fortunately, he did manage to swallow down that dirty urge though.
Tapping his nose, the prince unnoticeably licked his own lips which had just taken advantage of the moment and kissed his beloved's fingers. That's right. It's not some few times anymore this prince gave his very beloved passionate hand kisses. Even so, all this while, his princess just didn't seem to get the hints of his at all.
"Then, your highness, you call me Jingyi and I call you Zixin. It's fair, right? Both of us directly address each other with their first name. You have no manners. So do I. It's fair, right? "
Letting out a slight chortle, Ming Zixin nodded. Seriously.... he just loved this version of his princess so much. Not everyone had such guts to be so bold and open right in front of a crown prince like him.This princess was indeed something else. ....How to put it?.... This princess could be called .....a daring lady with no manners?.....Nonetheless, Ming Zixin was even more surprised by himself who had to fall for such a daring young miss with a wilful attitude.
The duo were having a rare moment to themselves when some screams and noises of people came from the direction of a village. He Jingyi stopped his laughter before turning to look into the distance with a confused gaze. Ming Zixin's brows also furrowed. Closing his eyes, the prince tried to focus on the noises. As a young genius cultivator with a high cultivation as he was, this prince had such ability to hear sounds of things and people within a mile radius.
Soon, Ming Zixin opened his eyes once again. But this time, his expression got more solemn. He Jingyi looked up at him and gave an inquiring gaze as though asking "What is it? "
Taking the hand of He Jingyi in his, finally, Ming Zixin gave a response in his stern tone.
"Don't go.....There's a fire breaking out in the village.
Sect cultivators will be coming down in a few minutes. It's dangerous for you... "
