Peninsula: I'm being supported by a top idol.

Chapter 99 A Wish Fulfilled [Donated by the Panda Who Eats Tomatoes Alliance Leader]

Cui Yuan shook the blood off his sword, sheathed it, and walked towards the girl under the ancient tree.

The latter then suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly and carefully put the Holy Bone Arrow back into the quiver.

She straightened her disheveled clothes and hair, then bowed deeply to Cui Yuan. Though her voice trembled slightly, it was perfectly proper: "I am a princess of Silla, titled Princess, named Xi Yuanjie. I thank Commander Cui for saving my life!"

Cui Yuan wiped the green blood splattered on his cheek, revealing his originally handsome features.

He looked at the disheveled but undeniably admiring young woman before him with some surprise, and asked in confusion, "Do you know my family?"

Xi Yuanjie raised her head, her beautiful eyes clear, and nodded, saying, "At the royal banquet a month ago, I was fortunate enough to witness Sima's unparalleled prowess in defeating thirteen generals in succession from behind the curtain. I still remember it vividly."

Her gaze fell on the ring-pommel sword at his waist. "Sima Shenwu is known throughout Jincheng."

Cui Yuan suddenly realized, and after carefully examining her features again, he indeed felt a sense of familiarity. He exclaimed in surprise, "So, the one who was watching me from behind the curtain that night was you?"

Xi Yuanjie blushed slightly, lowered her eyelashes, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz but clearly audible: "It is indeed my daughter. Sima's demeanor that day was truly captivating."

Cui Yuan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

He glanced around at the horrific scene and the bizarre corpses, frowning. "The air here is thick with evil; we shouldn't linger. Is the princess still able to walk?"

Xi Yuanjie tried to take a step, but let out a soft "hiss" and frowned.

During the fierce battle, her calf was accidentally cut by the Japanese pirates' swords. Although it wasn't deep, she only felt the pain now.

Seeing this, Cui Yuan said no more, turned around, took his warhorse, walked up to her, and extended his large, strong hand: "Mount up, I will take you back to Jincheng."

Xi Yuanjie's eyes instantly lit up with gratitude and relief, and she quickly said, "Please wait a moment, Sima!"

She quickly ran back to the field, pulled out the arrows that were scattered or embedded in the Japanese soldiers, wiped off the dirt, and carefully put them into the quiver she carried at her waist.

Then she ran back to Cui Yuan's horse, carefully holding the quiver, and placed her hand in his waiting palm.

With a slight effort, Cui Yuan lifted her lightly onto the horse's back, allowing her to sit sideways in front of him.

The warhorse stamped its hooves uneasily, but quickly calmed down.

Cui Yuan rode slowly forward, his gaze sweeping over the peculiar arrows she clutched tightly in her arms. He asked with some curiosity, "Why is the princess so reluctant to part with these arrows?"

Xi Yuanjie looked down at the quiver in his arms, his fingertips gently brushing over the rooster pattern carved on it: "This is an ancestral sacred object, a legacy of the holy king, containing the power to ward off evil and specifically suppress malevolent spirits."

"The legacy of a sacred relic? The power to ward off evil?" Upon hearing this, Cui Yuan couldn't help but take another look at the arrow. No wonder she wanted to use this arrow to commit suicide earlier; she probably didn't want the sacred object to be defiled by evil spirits.

"Indeed extraordinary." He nodded, his tone revealing a hint of understanding.

After that, Cui Yuan said no more, checked the direction, and spurred his horse, saying, "Hold on tight."

With a long neigh, the warhorse carried the two men along the northward path through the woods, galloping away into the slanting sunlight.

Behind them, in the valley, only headless corpses lay scattered about, and a deathly silence, tinged with an eerie green, gradually spread.

Time passed, I don't know how much.

The next day, Liu Zhimin was awakened again by Ningning's knocking on the door.

As if remembering something, she hurriedly sat up, only to find herself lying in bed, while Cui Shi'an had already disappeared.

"Unnie, aren't you up yet?" Ningning's voice came again.

"Get up." Liu Zhimin glanced at his phone quickly, got out of bed, and opened the door for Ningning.

Upon opening the door, the girl's first reaction was to peek into the room: "Where's my brother-in-law? Didn't he spend the night here?"

Liu Zhimin was furious. She was already annoyed by her disturbing her sleep, so she said irritably, "Did you come to wake me up, or to gossip?"

"Let me ask you~" The girl glanced around the room a few more times, even sticking her head out from behind the door, but there was no sign of Cui Shi'an.

"Why didn't you let your brother-in-law stay overnight, unnie?"

Liu Zhimin said speechlessly, "Can you guys stop calling him 'brother-in-law' all the time? Do you like him that much?"

"Of course!" the girl replied without hesitation.

Liu Zhimin's eyes immediately showed wariness: "Why?"

"Because my brother-in-law and I are from the same hometown~"

"whispering sound."

"Haha~" Ningning said with a grin, "But to be honest, I think he's pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhimin's vigilance immediately returned. "That brat, could she be trying to poach my girlfriend?"

Ningning didn't notice her gaze and continued to praise Cui Shi'an: "He's quite honest. He blushes after talking to you for a few words. He's obviously not the kind of person who likes to play around. Really, it's not just me who thinks so. Giselle unnie thinks so too."

"Too talkative." Liu Zhimin rolled his eyes. Cui Shi'an is honest?

If you saw how that guy killed the Japanese, you probably wouldn't think that way.

She peeked into the entryway through the doorway, and after confirming that Cui Shi'an's shoes were not there, she picked up her phone to send him a message.

When did the household leave?

The reply came quickly: "Around 6 a.m., seeing you were still sleeping, I carried you to bed."

[Hey, did you sneak a kiss on me while you were at it?]

Cui: [Uh—]

[Humph, pervert! (0O)]

Cui: [Just for a little while.]

Hiro: [Where are you now?]

Cui: [I'm in the dorm now.]

[So fast? Are you in a hurry to go back and get my underwear?]

Cui: [Ding dong ding, correct answer!]

[What a pervert!!!]

Cui: [Haha, I saved you last night, and this is how you repay your savior?]

【You rode here on horseback yourself, I didn't ask you to save me!】

Cui: [Did I mistake you for someone else? Not only do you and Xi Yuanjie look different, but their personality is also much better than yours.]

Ugh! I'm angry!

Choi: [Haha, ya ne~ just kidding~]

"Hehe~ Pab~" Liu Zhimin couldn't help but laugh out loud, but when he looked up, he found that his three teammates were staring at him.

"What?" She quickly turned off her phone screen to prevent it from being snatched away again.

"It's nothing, I just hope unnie can be a little more appropriate~"

"Exactly, it doesn't matter to Ningning and me, but what will people think in winter? Her boyfriend doesn't reply to a message for ten days or half a month at a time~"

"Oh! It won't take that long! It's only a few days! Besides, they're busy with their activities—"

"Tch, how busy can he be? He doesn't even have time to reply to a message?" Liu Zhimin curled his lip in disdain. So what if he's a top celebrity?

My boyfriend is a goblin!

However, the name Xi Yuan Jie is quite beautiful.
