There were eleven princes and four princesses in the Wudong kingdom. The emperor was a man in his sixties with twenty wives and fifty six concubines.
The crown prince was the third prince, Guan Fu. He was in his late thirties had one wife and two concubines, he also had a son which was beared by his second concubine.
The tenth prince, one of the youngest was named Guan Jingxuan and was only twenty years old however he was a person feared by the entire nation and other surrounding nations.
At such a young age, Guan Jingxuan was the commander in chief of the nation's army.
Guan Jingxuan was known for being ruthless and heartless when dealing with any issue, even his own family members feared him.
Guan Jingxuan had a territory from a certain part of the forest to the entrance of the village, no one was to trespass and indeed no one had ever dared to trespass.
Guan Jingxuan had a bath made for him there and he loved to bath there almost all the time. Today he came there with his older brother, the seventh prince Guan Bai who wanted to join him take a bath.
Guan Jingxuan and Guan Bai had arrived there only to see a ladies clothing with a rare white lion cub sleeping soundly by it.
" Someone else is here? Who the heck dares to?", Guan Bai approached the little white cub and kicked it real hard. Guan Bai wondered who had had the guts to trespass his younger brother's territory. That person was in for deep trouble.
The cub winced and opened its eyes, seeing the two strangers before him the cub roared in its little voice.
Mi Juanxi had soaked herself deeply into the water and was enjoying its warmness when she heard her new pet roar.
' Is someone here? Little whitty wouldn't just make any random noise right? Something must have happened!'
Mi Juanxi slowly lifted her small head and immediately trembled when she met the eyes of a man, his eyes were pitch black looking like they wanted to devour her and he had on a very scary facial expression.
' Gosh I've never seen any man as handsome and as gorgeous as this man in both lives, though I wonder why he's looking at me like that? I definitely didn't do anything wrong right?'
Guan Jingxuan was annoyed when he saw a little girl peek out her head, their eyes met however she didn't seem to have any intention of coming out of the water.
Mi Juanxi was still in a daze admiring his beauty when she heard something really familiar, it was the slow drawing of a sword.
Mi Juanxi's eyes widened and she stared at Guan Jingxuan once more, could he be the man from that night? The bastard who had tortured her the whole night? Her body still hurt till now.
Mi Juanxi saw the man draw out his sword and point it towards her pet, Little whitty.
"No!", Mi Juanxi screamed real loudly as her eyes widened, she reached out her hand wishing she could hold the sword.
Guan Bai wasn't interested in whatever Guan Jingxuan would do with the culprit and was in his own thoughts when he heard a well too familiar and sweet voice.
He turned around and saw Mi Juanxi in the water with her hands reached out, he turned to look at his brother and saw that his brother had pointed the sword at the white lion cub.
Guan Jingxuan lifted the sword ready to chop off the head of the white cub when Guan Bai stopped him with his sword.
"What do you think you're doing?", Guan Jingxuan's voice was scary.
"She's my person, let the matter go", Guan Bai said.
"You dare fight me for a woman?", Guan Jingxuan gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"The favour from last time, I want to use it now", Guan Bai replied.
Seeing that the two had turned their backs and were arguing and it didn't seem to end anytime soon, Mi Juanxi took the chance to sneak out of the water and put on her clothes.
Her clothes were really dirty and messed up, this were the same clothes that bastard had torn when he had the one night stand with her.
Guan Jingxuan chuckled and pulled his sword back, he turned around and saw Mi Juanxi picking up her stuffs from the ground.
Guan Bai had not seen Mi Juanxi look so fresh, that night when they had met she looked dirty.
Even then she had been very pretty however today seeing her in broad daylight with such a smooth and clear face he felt like she looked a thousand times prettier than when they first met.
"You...", Guan Jingxuan took a step closer to Mi Juanxi and pointed the sword at her neck, "The next time you cross my territory, I'll not think twice to cut off your damn head"
The sword had pierced through her skin and blood was flowing.
"It...it hurts", Mi Juanxi uttered slowly without pushing away the sword.
Guan Jingxuan snorted and pulled away the sword, he brought it towards the ground and her blood sipped into the ground.
"Are you alright?", Guan Bai rushed towards Mi Juanxi however she squatted and picked up Little whitty.
"Your highness, thank you for saving my life today. I have to leave", Mi Juanxi smiled and then bowed to the two of them, she then turned around and walked away without looking back for even once.
After making sure she was a far distance from them Mi Juanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
' Ahh I managed to escape from that scary man! His aura was really way too scary, I could have peed on myself!'
' However how dare he treat me like that? If I had known that part of the forest belonged to a prince I wouldn't have stepped foot there! In this life no matter what I have to ensure I never offend any high ranked person or I might die without knowing how I did'
' He's a prince so he's definitely cannot be the man from that night, I'm sure of that. Although that man was from the palace I can bet with my life that it can't be that scary guy! The man from that night was way too passionate to be this guy and even if he were the one I have to make sure he never finds out, who knows what I may happen to me?'
Mi Juanxi snapped out of her thoughts and hurried home, her family might be worried about her by now.
