"Hey, hey, hey, you are the only princess of the Nanchu Kingdom, with such a noble status. How can you casually say such vulgar words?" Xiang Wang Lingfeng was taken aback by his younger sister's words and immediately scolded Ling Yuer.
"Uh? Oh, I... I was just anxious and misspoke," Ling Yuer replied honestly.
"If it was a slip of the tongue, then hurry up and apologize to your Seventh Brother and Sister Yan," Xiang Wang Lingfeng said, shaking his head in frustration.
"Alright, alright, Seventh Prince, Sister Yan, it was my fault just now. I spoke without thinking. Please don't be angry with me, okay?" Ling Yuer apologized while quickly running over to Ziyan.
She grabbed Ziyan's hands and shook them playfully while pitifully pleading, "Sister, if you're still mad, then just hit me a couple of times! You're always so understanding; please forgive me for my momentary slip of the tongue this time!"
"Pfft!" Seeing that Ling Yuer was truly anxious, Ziyan couldn't help but laugh. She then said to Ling Yuer, "Alright, alright, it's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk about it."
So everyone followed her into the main hall of the building. At the same time, Miao'er had already heard the commotion downstairs and came down.
Ling Yuer and Ling Feng exchanged polite greetings with Miao'er before the group began chatting more animatedly about various events from south to north in this era.
During dinner, they continued their lively conversation without pause.
As dinner was nearing its end, the Fast-Talking Princess shifted the topic to what she had seen and heard at the supermarket that day. Ling Yuer became more animated as she spoke, exaggerating her words with frequent "tch tch tch" sounds.
In an instant, this piqued the strong curiosity of two others present: Xiang Wang Lingfeng and their mother Miao'er.
"I remember Yan'er mentioned earlier that she would take her aunt to visit the supermarket after it closed tonight. I wonder if Yan'er will keep her word and take us along?" Miao'er said with a smile as she looked at Ziyan.
"Uh? Oh, of course! As long as Aunt doesn't mind the cold outside," Ziyan replied without hesitation.
"No problem! We can just wear more clothes. We've eaten well; why don't we set off early?" Miao'er said with an eager expression that showed she wasn't afraid of the cold.
"Great! Then everyone hurry up and get ready; we're leaving soon," Ziyan responded immediately and instructed the servants to prepare the carriage.
In this way, several women quickly dressed themselves warmly, putting on thick clothes and draping cloaks over them, and then they made their way grandly to the front gate of the courtyard. Soon, they all climbed into a large carriage.
In the center of the carriage was a warm fire pit, not too wide or too narrow, with rectangular soft seats on either side and at the back. Thus, everyone sat around the fire pit on the soft seats.
The fire pit had likely been placed in the carriage for some time, so at this moment, the temperature inside was not low.
"Sister Yan, you all had already planned to go to the supermarket at night, so why did you encourage your sister to squeeze in with those ordinary people during the day?" Princess Ling Yuer had been holding back since they left and could no longer contain her frustration, pouring out her feelings. As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter almost in unison.
"Hehe, sister, you spend most of your time cooped up in the palace. Everyone just wanted you to experience a bit of normal life among the common people!" Ziyan explained with a smile to the Princess.
"Hmph, sister, how could you repay my years of care and favor with such treatment? Today, even two brothers are bullying me together! Alas, my Crimson Heart is going to be hurt by you!" Ling Yuer pouted her lips and pretended to be angry.
"Well then, if that's the case, I'll let you rest in the carriage while we go inside," Ziyan teased with a smile.
"Uh? No! There were so many people during the day that I didn't get to see everything clearly, and there are still many things I want to buy but didn't have time for. If there are no outsiders in the supermarket later, I will have to thoroughly explore it from start to finish," Ling Yuer immediately rejected the idea of staying in the carriage.
Upon hearing Princess Ling Yuer's words, Ziyan and Miao'er exchanged knowing smiles.
Meanwhile, the group heading to the supermarket was unaware that at that very moment—at their destination—Ziyan's supermarket was welcoming two unexpected guests.
Soon after, with a loud crash, what had been an orderly and tidy supermarket was suddenly filled with dust.
A young man dressed in strange attire seemed to have fallen from the sky; he touched his head and looked up to find that he had smashed a large hole in the roof of a house.
Immediately, broken tiles and dust fell into the room below.
At that moment, through this large hole, the Strange-Dressed Man looked up with his blue eyes and saw a sky full of stars as if they were competing to shine the brightest.
Through the antique shelves, the Strange-Dressed Man saw that although it was nighttime outside, there was still a bustling crowd on the street.
The Strange-Dressed Man, still feeling some pain in his body, muttered to himself, "Have I arrived in Chucheng City? According to the compass, my Fire Ship has been flying south. Based on the time, I should be in Chu County or a nearby city."
At this moment, while the Strange-Dressed Man was lost in thought, speculating about where he had ended up, he noticed that the light from the Night Pearl in the store allowed him to take a good look around. He realized this must be a large Grocery Store.
Just as the Strange-Dressed Man was daydreaming, he suddenly felt a strong wind at the back of his neck. However, without any warning, he couldn't be bothered to dodge it; it was probably someone from the Grocery Store, either the Boss or some kind of Guardians.
He had damaged their shop, and looking at the size of it, opening a store in such a prosperous area must be incredibly costly, no matter which country it was.
Everyone is just trying to make a living; it's not easy for anyone. If they want to hit him, let them; he could take it as letting off steam. With his skills in alchemy and martial arts, he wasn't afraid of being beaten.
While he was still hesitating, "Smack!" A piece of wood struck him directly on the back of his neck. Instantly, an unbearable soreness made him frown.
This kind of force was no longer just about letting off steam! If it were an ordinary person, they would either be dead or at least severely injured!
Thus, the Strange-Dressed Man turned around and saw a tall, slender young man with an exceptionally handsome face. The man was dressed in a Black Stealth Outfit and was staring intently at him.
Without thinking further, the Strange-Dressed Man quickly apologized, "Sorry! I didn't mean to damage your Grocery Store. It was completely an..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the young man in dark clothing, who appeared to be around the same age as him, suddenly drew a sword from somewhere and lunged at him.
The Strange-Dressed Man's expression changed as he threw a punch to block the incoming sword and shouted angrily, "Fuck you! Are you an idiot? It's just a roof that got damaged; you're trying to kill me!"
But it seemed that the other person didn't understand him at all. Ignoring his words completely, seeing that the Strange-Dressed Man had blocked his attack, he simply withdrew his sword.
Next, the Strange-Dressed Man thought that if he blocked this attack, perhaps this person would stop trying to attack him. But unexpectedly, this person seemed relentless and determined to subdue him.
After retracting his sword for only a few seconds, he lunged again towards the neck of the Strange-Dressed Man.
To be honest, this time the Strange-Dressed Man truly wondered if he had accidentally harmed this person's family earlier; otherwise, why would this person keep attacking with such ferocity? It seemed like there was no end until one of them was defeated!
The intense battle had turned the entire supermarket into a chaotic mess, ravaged by these two bizarre uninvited guests who seemed to have come from nowhere.
The supermarket manager Wu San, Ziying, and several guards who rushed over upon hearing the commotion were momentarily stunned.
Were these two here to cause trouble? But no matter how they looked at it, it seemed that the two were not on the same side. For a moment, they didn’t know which of the two parties they should deal with first!
It seems that as long as one is human, there is an inherent nature to watch the excitement. While the two uninvited guests were engaged in a fierce fight inside, those outside, all dressed in traditional clothing, showed no fear of danger as they crowded around the windows and doors of the store to watch.
When Ziyan's carriage was still about half a mile away from the supermarket entrance, they heard a loud uproar coming from inside. Wasn’t it almost closing time? Why were there so many people gathered at the entrance?
Faintly, Ziyan also heard what sounded like shelves collapsing from within the supermarket.
Immediately, an ominous feeling arose in Ziyan's heart. Thus, Ziyan shouted to the driver, "Hurry up!"
"Could it be that someone is here to cause trouble for us?" Ziyan's first reaction was that uninvited guests had arrived.
"Don't rush! Let's see what's going on once we get inside," Demon Prince said with narrowed eyes, coldly reassuring his Beloved Child. He then instructed the driver, "Park the carriage at the entrance of Jishitang."
In an instant, the carriage stopped at Jishitang's entrance. Everyone got off, and Demon Prince immediately turned to Ling Yuer and instructed, "Yuer, take your aunt inside Jishitang and wait for us."
"Okay! You two brothers and Sister Yan must be careful," Ling Yuer nodded knowingly at her brothers before quickly helping Miao'er into Old Man Mo's Jishitang.
