Sky Curtain: With a vermilion mirror, Jing travels through the modern world, shaking all dynasties.

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood before the palace, his eyes blazing, staring intently at the spa pool ravaged by the raging storm.

Empress Ma also rose, anxiously taking his arm, and whispered, "Chongba, what if that ship capsizes? Will Jing'er really sink to the bottom of the sea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm: "Madam, do not panic! In my opinion, although the scene was immersive, Jing'er was not actually on the ship. It was probably just some kind of illusion."

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma felt somewhat relieved.

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, the pirate ship was ultimately just a shadow, and Zhu Jingjing and Jiang Chuan were still sitting peacefully in the spa pool.

"Is this 3D? It can create such an immersive feeling, it's truly amazing!" she exclaimed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed deeply, "Such an experience is truly awe-inspiring! I feel as if I have returned to Poyang Lake, standing on a warship, ready to fight Chen Youliang to the death!"

modern.

The storm finally subsided, and the dimly lit room became bright again.

Zhu Jingjing gently rested her head on Jiang Chuan's shoulder, her hands still tightly clasped in his.

The calm pool water occasionally rippled, splashing against her raised legs and sending up tiny droplets of water, as if reminding her that the storm that seemed to threaten to destroy the world was not just a dream.

"Jingjing, were you scared?" Jiang Chuan gently patted her back and asked with concern, "Was that scene too exciting? How about we change to something more cozy?"

Zhu Jingjing didn't answer, but just nodded her little head gently as it rested on his shoulder, clearly quite frightened.

When the scene shifted to a beach at dusk, the gentle ripples brought a sense of warmth, and she finally felt a little more at ease.

"Brother, this 3D is amazing!" Coming to her senses, Zhu Jingjing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "Just now, I thought I was really on that pirate ship, and I felt like the ship was about to capsize and I was going to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!"

Jiang Chuan chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Silly girl, how could I bear to take you to such a dangerous place?"

"I don't care, you scared me anyway." Zhu Jingjing's eyes darted around, and a greedy smile crept across her lips. "I need ten bags of cotton candy to put my mind at ease, or I'll cry until you agree."

Jiang Chuan gave a helpless, bitter smile.

This little princess, even her extortion is so pathetic—she thinks she can get away with just ten bags of cotton candy?

"Sure thing, ten packs is nothing!" He agreed without hesitation. "I'll buy you twenty packs when I get back from work tomorrow."

"You said it yourself, if you dare to go back on your word..." Zhu Jingjing tilted her head and thought for a long time before finally finding the perfect threat, "I'll run into the street and cry, saying you're trafficking underage girls!"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, then gently tapped her on the head: "You didn't come up with this yourself, did you? Tell me honestly, who gave you this terrible idea?"

She scratched her head a little embarrassedly and whispered, "Of course it's Sister Xiaoyu! She said if you bully me on this business trip, she'll use this method to deal with you."

Jiang Chuan looked helpless. What kind of crooked and evil ways had Lin Xiaoyu, that cunning strategist, taught the little princess?

"Jingjing, just say it and don't take it seriously! If you really run into the street and start crying, things will get complicated." Jiang Chuan was full of worry, afraid that the little princess might suddenly decide to make such a scene.

"Brother, are you scared?" Zhu Jingjing's lips curled into a victorious smile. "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu told me that this trick was specifically used to threaten you, she won't actually do it."

Hearing her say that, Jiang Chuan finally felt relieved.

Lin Xiaoyu was still quite clear-headed and didn't actually plant a time bomb in him that could explode at any moment.

"Brother, you still haven't told me what kind of work you're going to do tomorrow?" Zhu Jingjing suddenly changed the subject and asked curiously.

"I can't tell you that." Jiang Chuan turned his head away, looking like he wouldn't say a word no matter how you asked. "You just need to stay in your hotel room tomorrow and wait for me to bring back cotton candy."

Zhu Jingjing pouted, her face full of displeasure: "Brother, you wouldn't be doing something illegal or disorderly, would you? Is that why you didn't dare tell me?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Chuan gently pinched her cheek, his expression serious. "Your brother has always been law-abiding. When have I ever done such a thing?"

Zhu Jingjing reached out, grabbed his arm, and shook it gently, her tone slightly coquettish: "In that case, take me with you tomorrow! I'll be scared if I stay in the hotel alone..."

"How can that be?" Jiang Chuan's face hardened, his tone firm yet still containing a hint of gentleness. "I'm going to work, not to play. If I bring you along, I won't be able to take care of you properly!"

Zhu Jingjing's eyes flickered slightly, as if a spark of inspiration danced in them. She then smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you ask me to be your assistant? You've even prepaid my monthly salary. Jingjing can't just take the money and not do any work."

Jiang Chuan slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing that there really was such a thing!

I was just teasing her at first, thinking that at most I would just have her serve tea and pour water, how could I really let her do any assistant work?

She never brings this up when we're out having fun, but I never expected her to bring it up now as a self-righteous excuse.

"Jingjing, if you really want to help me..." Jiang Chuan paused, his tone gentle but leaving no room for negotiation, "then when we get back to the room later, just give me a shoulder massage. As for tomorrow, just stay obediently in the hotel room, and that will be a huge help to me."

The Great Ming Dynasty, Fengtian Hall.

"This girl! Why wasn't she this attentive when she was by my side?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened slightly; he was actually jealous of Jiang Chuan.

Empress Ma covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Chongba, why are you arguing with Jiang Chuan? In my opinion, Jingjing said she was going to help, but actually she just wanted to go and have some fun."

"Why do you say that, Madam? How could I possibly compete with Jiang Chuan!" Zhu Yuanzhang put on a stern face and said seriously, "I am just sighing that Jing'er has finally grown up and knows how to take the initiative to share other people's burdens."

Empress Ma covered her mouth with her sleeve, smiled without saying a word, and did not expose his obvious excuse.

"It's good for Jing'er to gain more experience in the future," she said gently. "When she returns to the Ming Dynasty, she might really become His Majesty's right-hand woman."

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "I'm afraid that by then, she won't want to return to our Great Ming..."

Modern hotel room.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink. Jiang Chuan sat alone on the sofa, looking at the sleeping little princess on the bed, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his lips.

"This girl, she clearly said she'd go to her own room to sleep." He got up and walked to the bedside, gently tucking the blanket around her. "But she got tired of playing and just fell asleep!"
