Female Supreme: Holy Son, you don’t want to be discovered, right?

The blanket looked particularly soft in the firelight, and he held the edge of the blanket tightly with both hands, fearing that if he relaxed for a moment he would lose the little warmth he had worked so hard to accumulate.

"Thank you, um...what's your name..."

Xing Feng looked up and smiled at the tall woman who brought him back here.

The woman was naturally also dazzled by Xing Feng's charming smile, but after realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly steadied herself and leaned forward slightly.

"Your Highness, just call me Nanxi. The conditions here are simple, please forgive me."

"Ah, no, no, it's already good. There's a fire for me to warm myself. I'm really sorry for taking the trouble."

Xing Feng hurriedly shook his head. As soon as he woke up, a kind-hearted person helped him. Apart from gratitude, how could he be dissatisfied?

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Nan Xi said respectfully.

Xing Feng couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he heard her repeatedly addressing him as "Your Highness". After all, he didn't want to be mistaken for the Queen Cesar.

But no matter how he explained, the woman in front of him was determined to believe it.

Since the argument was fruitless, he could only give up the idea.

It is important to warm up by a fire now, otherwise if the cold is serious, it will easily develop into a fever.

If that really happens, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed.

And now I have to find Lisa and Chibi Maruko as soon as possible.

Wait, Chibi Maruko!

Xing Feng only remembered that Xiaowanzi had fed him something, and while he was unconscious he vaguely heard what she was trying to divert.

The result was that he woke up and found himself in this strange place.

Fortunately, a kind-hearted person found him, otherwise he would have frozen to death outside.

Xing Feng gets angry when he thinks of this incident.

When he sees Chibi Maruko again, he must teach her a lesson!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xing Feng turned around and asked with a smile,

"By the way, Nanxi...can you tell me where this place is?"

Nanxi raised her head slightly and said seriously,

"Your Highness, this is Bella Village on the westernmost side of the Victoria Empire."

"The Kingdom of Victoria..."

Xing Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised. It seemed that he had really come to this country, but he seemed to have deviated from the imperial city that Lisa had mentioned before, and actually ran to the remote west side.

Nanxi saw that he looked strange and mistook him for her husband, so she felt unhappy and bowed her head to apologize.

"Your Highness, those two children said that they found you on the beach, but they did not inform me in time, which was extremely rude. For their rudeness, I apologize to Your Highness."

Suddenly, Xing Feng was brought back to his senses by the voice. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only wave his hand to comfort her.

"Ah, it's okay, don't take it to heart. I should thank them for bringing me back."

Then Xing Feng patted the mat beside him and invited,

"Come, let's roast some fire together."

Xing Feng actually did this to make the village chief less reserved and to bring them closer together.

Don't act like some high and mighty husband or queen.

He's obviously not married yet!

Nan Qian, who received the invitation, was stunned.

She didn't expect that her husband, the Queen, would have such a gentle temper.

Originally, her impression of the Empress Dowager was based not only on the one she saw in the audience during the festival, but also on the rumors spread among the people of the imperial country.

People often say that Her Majesty the Queen is kind and humble, but she can't help but have doubts in her heart.

After all, as the Queen's only favorite and of a noble status, could he really be as approachable as the rumors say?

However, the thoughtfulness and calmness shown by Xing Feng completely dispelled her doubts.

Having such a gentle and considerate husband, perhaps it is not without reason that Her Majesty the Queen is devoted to him all her life.

"Your Highness is truly kindhearted..."

Nanxi sighed from the bottom of her heart, and secretly swore in her heart that she would take good care of her honorable husband, the Queen, no matter what.

Just then, a scream suddenly came from outside the yard.

Nanxi's expression tightened.

She had clearly arranged people to maintain the situation outside, so how could there be such trouble?

He quickly apologized to Xing Feng, then hurriedly got up and walked out.

As soon as she opened the door, Nanxi saw a strange scene in the center of the yard.

I saw a young girl being tied up by a group of people, and she looked very miserable.

Her hands and feet were tied tightly to a stick, like a roasted suckling pig, with a piece of sackcloth stuffed in her mouth. She was struggling weakly, while several burly women in the yard were carrying her from the ground.

"What's going on?" Nan Qian frowned and looked at the strange girl.

When the villagers saw the village chief coming out, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Village chief, this person was sneaking around in the corner of the yard just now. We don't know where she came from. We confirmed that she is not from the nearby village. It seems that she sneaked in."

Another woman followed suit.

"Yes, and this girl is very slippery. We finally caught her and were planning to send her to the cell."

The tied-up girl was Chibi Maruko-chan. A piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth. She looked extremely aggrieved and tears were almost about to burst out.

However, when her eyes passed over the crowd and found Xing Feng in the house, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she struggled to make vague humming sounds, trying to attract his attention.

Xing Feng naturally heard it, and after discovering that the person tied up was Xiaowanzi, he hurriedly explained,

"Um, this is my... subordinate. He might be here to see me. I'm so sorry for disturbing everyone."

Upon hearing this, several villagers panicked. They obviously didn't expect that this man was a subordinate of the Queen Mother.

"Sorry, sister, I was a little too rough just now."

"Your physical skills are really good, you are worthy of being the subordinate of the Queen, haha."

Everyone laughed it off awkwardly, and hurriedly untied Chibi Maruko, apologizing to her repeatedly.

As soon as Xiaowanzi got free, she quickly ran to Xing Feng, shrank behind him in fear, and looked at the group of women who almost packed up and carried her away in horror.

"It's okay, it's okay. We are just doing our job."

Xing Feng smiled and helped everyone out. The women were very grateful and fled away from there as fast as they could.

When Chibi Maruko saw people leaving, she was about to explain to Xing Feng, but she saw Xing Feng slowly turn his head with a cold look.

"Chibi Maruko,"

Xing Feng's tone was calm but reproachful.

"Hmm..." Chibi Maruko immediately lowered her head and stood still obediently.

"Should you give me an explanation now?"

Chibi Maruko opened her mouth, as if she wanted to explain.

But after seeing Xing Feng's gaze, the words he was about to say were suddenly choked in his throat.

"Why did you take me away by force when I was defenseless?" Xing Feng's voice was filled with disappointment. "Even if you wanted to protect me, you shouldn't have done this, right?"

Xiaowanzi lowered her head timidly, speaking in a weak voice.

"It was an emergency... I'm just... sorry..."

Xing Feng saw that she was hesitant to speak, and felt even more dissatisfied, and his tone became more stern.

"The person you should apologize to the most right now is Lisa."

"You took me away and left her there alone. How is she now?"

Xiao Maruko lowered her eyes, and her voice became even weaker.

"No...I don't know..."

Xing Feng's expression froze, and he remembered the group of mermaids who surrounded him at that time. He was extremely worried about Lisa's safety at this moment.

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Nanxi interrupted the conversation between the two and respectfully reminded them,

"Your Highness, the hot water is ready. It's still too late today, so why don't you take a rest first? We can discuss it tomorrow if you have anything to discuss."

Xing Feng nodded slightly and said thank you lightly, but his eyes were still fixed on Xiaowanzi, and there was a bit of determination in his tone.

"Maruko-chan, you'd better pray that Ryza is safe, otherwise... I will never forgive you so easily for this."

Upon hearing this, Chibi Maruko trembled all over and felt uneasy.

Seeing Xing Feng turn around and leave, she wanted to explain a few more words and remind Xing Feng to be careful...

But when she thought of the threat from the mermaid before, she could only lower her head and remain silent, her eyes full of complexity and regret.

...

Chapter 209 Unconscious Tenderness

"Your Highness, please go to bed early."

"Okay, please."

Xing Feng smiled slightly, thanked Nan Qian, and after she left, he gently closed the wooden door.

Then Xing Feng turned around and looked at the room where he was temporarily placed.

The house was simply furnished with a smooth wooden table, a few simple chairs, and a few bundles of firewood neatly stacked in the corner.

In addition to the tables and chairs that had just been carefully wiped and the mattresses that had just been changed, there were also several plates of fresh fruit on the table, which were obviously specially prepared for him.

In the middle of the room, there was a large wooden barrel with steam rising from it.

There was a pool full of warm hot water, specially designed to dispel the chill in his body.

However, Xing Feng had no intention of enjoying himself at all.

I just reunited with Chibi Maruko, but where is Ryza? Where is she now and is she safe?

Xing Feng sighed softly. He was originally in a heavy mood and didn't want to enjoy these things, but who would have thought that he suddenly sneezed slightly.

It seems that he really has a cold...

If I don't take a hot bath and go to bed wet, I will definitely have a fever tomorrow...

So, he wrapped the blanket tightly around himself, slowly walked towards the barrel, and gently touched the water with his hand.

The scalding water flowed through his fingertips, making him feel a little relaxed.

however,

Xing Feng was completely unaware that it was less than 1m in front of him, right in the middle of his field of vision.

A familiar figure was lying in the barrel that should have been empty.

The fair arms were folded on the edge of the wooden barrel, with the chin lightly resting on them.

The half-submerged peaks vaguely emerged in the water, and the pink and smooth skin was steamed by the hot water, giving it a layer of cherry pink pearlescent luster.

The fish tail that was occasionally raised in the water was gently lapping the water surface, obviously having been waiting here for a long time.

"It's finally here..."

The princess looked up at Xing Feng with a rosy face, and couldn't help but recall the teachings of several elder mermaids.

It turned out that his previous behavior was extremely rude. No wonder he made Xing Feng cry.

While there is nothing wrong with the courtship method, it is only suitable for males who have never been tied down or have a crush on someone.

A man like Xing Feng who has had a history of ties and whose heart is already tied to another person will naturally not be easily shaken.
