Before long, Li Rui discovered a path leading to the outside world, but his Source Qi was gone, and his Meridians were injured, leaving him with no choice but to walk.
When he saw a strong light, Li Rui felt frustrated and silently cursed countless times in his heart. This place turned out to be the Palace, which was truly...
Could that woman be one of the ladies here? That would be awkward.
Suddenly! After the woman got dressed, she immediately arrived here. Li Rui had to take a few steps back; her speed was just too fast! He had walked for quite a while to get here.
It wasn't that the latter had taken a long time to arrive; he had run out of Source Qi and couldn't fly. Even walking took a significant amount of energy!
"All of you come here and find this man. Bring him before me."
"Yes!" With that command, Li Rui's second conclusion was confirmed in his heart.
Once again, he felt an overwhelming sense of frustration. If Li Rui got caught, it would be disastrous; he would have to endure all kinds of punishments. That wasn't even the worst part—this was their territory! If they casually issued a warrant for his arrest, it would be a complete disaster for him.
Li Rui found himself in a dilemma, unsure if there were any other paths to escape from behind.
To be safe, the latter decided to return to the lakeside and search for another route; it would be great if there was one.
When Li Rui returned to this spot again, suddenly there was a loud "bang." Wasn't this just child's play? How could such a thing happen?
This princess was truly ruthless!
At that moment, he heard a series of "hehehe" sounds coming from behind, filling Li Rui with an unprecedented sense of fear.
"Miss? No! Princess, ah! I don't even know what to call you anymore. Please let me explain; it's really not what you think."
The princess smiled and slowly approached Li Rui with a cold dagger in her hand. Despite the heat in the air, an icy chill radiated from her back.
"What did you just say? If it's not what I think, then what is it? Come back with me!"
At this moment, the distance between the two was only half a meter apart. To leave, one would have to ask if the dagger in her hand agreed, which was simply an impossible situation.
Li Rui naturally understood that under such circumstances, it was impossible not to follow her.
Unbeknownst to him, his hands had been tied with a hemp rope. In the past, trying to bind Li Rui with such a thing was unthinkable; now he had become a prisoner.
It was truly unexpected, perfectly illustrating the saying, "A tiger falls from power and is bullied by dogs."
"Princess, what are you doing..." After walking a short distance, the Surrounding Guards couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! I just caught a thief. Watch how I deal with him."
Li Rui noticed the looks in the eyes of the Surrounding Guards; each one looked at him with pity. It was only then that they realized what an "awkward" decision they had made. Was this princess really a devil?
Suddenly, he was led into her boudoir.
And then she began to undress, which was...
"Miss, what are you doing? I'm not that kind of person; it was really just a misunderstanding! No, no, Your Highness."
At this moment, the princess smiled again, her beauty radiating fully, but that chilling feeling still lingered on Li Rui's back.
"Then I want to hear how you explain this!" He didn't know when a whip appeared in her hand; it seemed to be for taming horses.
Li Rui thought to himself, could it be that kind of situation?
Suddenly! A voice came from outside the dream, "Cai'er, what are you doing? Are you okay? Don't smile like there's nothing wrong when there is."
"Got it, Mother!"
The princess's name is Cai'er!
"Hehehe! Buddy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
At this moment, Li Rui felt even more frustrated. Could this Cai'er be **? Why has the latter been staring at him all this time? This cannot happen now.
"What are you so nervous about? I haven't done anything."
Just then, the whip in the princess's hand suddenly transformed into a sharp blade, aimed directly at Li Rui's family heirloom. Is this guy really going to...
"Don't come any closer! If you do, I'll scream for help!"
"Go ahead and scream! Later, I'll tell my Mother Empress about today's events, and maybe you'll end up being cut into a thousand pieces! And it'll be done slowly with a dagger!"
Li Rui imagined that scene and couldn't help but shudder.
At that moment, the princess took a few steps closer.
The latter was thinking about whether there was any way to remedy the situation when suddenly he remembered his eyes.
"Why didn't I think of that earlier? Really..."
Then Li Rui blinked slightly, and suddenly! The princess's movements slowed down as she looked at Li Rui's pupils with a hint of fear. Her red-eyed curved blade seemed to transform into a lotus flower, as if those eyes could pierce through everything.
At that moment, the princess was indeed scared; she suddenly didn't even dare to look into Li Rui's eyes.
It was true that although Li Rui had lost his power at this moment, just blinking his eyelids could make this Palace disappear.
In such a situation, Li Rui suddenly came up with a good idea.
The footsteps slowly approached the princess, and although his hands were tied with hemp ropes, those eyes could cause someone to meet an untimely death with just a single movement.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll call for help!"
"Crack!" Li Rui suddenly tripped over a stool on the ground and accidentally fell onto the princess!
The princess had imagined this scene countless times in her mind, and now that she was looking so closely at Li Rui's face for the first time, her heart skipped a beat. Feeling a bit embarrassed, her cheeks instantly flushed. This time, looking directly into Li Rui's eyes, he didn't seem as terrifying as she had imagined; instead, there was a hint of handsomeness.
For Li Rui, this was also the first time being so close to her. Her shy face truly resembled a beauty that could make flowers blush and the moon hide. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
"Will you marry me?"
Li Rui was stunned. What was happening? Just a second ago, wasn't she worried about what to do? And now she was asking him this—indeed, being too handsome could lead to unexpected situations...
"What? I'm sorry, Your Highness, I really didn't mean to..." Li Rui didn't even know where to start.
"It's fine. I know you're the hero sent to help me. I wasn't ready for that at first! From now on..."
Li Rui felt even more frustrated. What was going on? Was he really going to become part of the royal family? That couldn't happen; if his family found out about this, especially those "powerful" women in his household, things would get even more complicated.
