On the main street, a mysterious black figure flashed by while holding a young girl in his arms. The young girl was imprisoned within him, unable to move as her mouth was covered by a white cloth.

Only when they reached the dead end did the black figure smoothly put down the woman in his embrace and press her against the wall, leaving her with no place to escape.

After obtaining her freedom, Yan Xiaoxi was the first to probe the man in front of her. He was extremely tall, and wore a blue Cloud Soaring Rune Bat suit. His waist was tied with a rhinoceros' horn, and there was only a white jade pendant on it.

He had a head of shiny, vertical black hair, slanted, straight eyebrows, slender and black pupils, thin and pursed lips, sharp and sharp contours, like an eagle in the night, cold and aloof but also exuding an imposing aura, exuding a domineering aura of aloofness.

Wow, a gorgeous man!

She stared at the watery eyes in disbelief, drooling. "Brother, are you trying to rob me of my wealth or my beauty?"

Just a moment ago, she was ready to run over to greet Bei Bai Xi, but she was suddenly kidnapped by someone from behind. She struggled all the way until her feet touched the ground, and then she stood there.

Although he didn't know the purpose of the newcomer's visit, the man in front of him was just too handsome. His appearance was comparable to that of Beiming Ce, but his temperament was vastly different.

Bei Bai Xi gave the impression of gentleness and elegance, like the clear and tranquil water of a lake. However, this person gave off a cold and frosty feeling, as though he was a ten thousand year old snowy mountain.

Nangong Lin frowned. He couldn't help but feel astonished at Yan Xiaoxi's reaction.

If it was a normal situation, wouldn't they have shouted out loud in panic?

To think that she could be so calm, and even had such a calm and composed conversation.

"Hand over the scented sachet and you can leave." Nangong Lin's goal was only to get the scented sachet, so he could let bygones be bygones when Yan Xiaoxi escaped from the marriage.

Sachet?

What is this?

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a puzzled expression. She suddenly came to a realization and said, "I really don't have any money."

"Really, I'm telling the truth." Yan Xiaoxi thought that the scented sachet Nangong Lin was referring to the money pouch on her body. His questioning gaze did not forget to add another sentence.

"Woman, This King's patience is limited." Nangong Lin's voice turned slightly colder.

"Are you the Prince of the Southern Water Country?" Yan Xiaoxi is not stupid, and naturally knows that only the royal family of nobles will call themselves this king.

As she blurted this out, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

He then asked, "How many princes are there in the Southern Water Kingdom?"

Yan Xiaoxi nervously looked at Nangong Lin as she prayed to the deities in her heart. She hoped that everything wasn't as she had imagined.

However, Nangong Lin's next words immediately shattered her hopes.

"One." These two words alone were enough to make Yan Xiaoxi feel as if she had fallen into the eighteenth level of hell.

The pretty boy in front of him was actually his recently retired husband, the Prince of Nanshui Country, Nangong Lin.

Heavens, did she have to be so messed with!

Yan Xiaoxi was completely stupefied by this truth. She was stunned for a few seconds before she gave an inexplicable smile and said, "I'll go back with you."

On the day of her wedding, her hair was covered with red, and she had never seen Nangong Lin's true appearance. If she knew that her husband was so handsome and rich, then why would she run?

Back then, he should have believed his father's words. He believed that Nangong Lin was a beautiful man, so so many things wouldn't have happened.

Would she not have meat to eat these few days?

"Wuwu." Suddenly, Yan Xiaoxi felt very wronged.

At this moment, Nangong Lin had a petrified expression on his face. Yan Xiaoxi's expression had changed too quickly. It was as if she was performing a trick. It was simply impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"This King only needs you to hand over the scented sachet." Nangong Lin once again reiterated that he had no interest in Yan Xiaoxi at all.

"Fragrant Sachet?" Yan Xiaoxi muttered as she searched her mind for memories of the recent days.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration. She remembered that on the night of her wedding, she had taken a scented sachet from the bed in her room. It had been secretly taken away along with her purse.

"I don't have the scented sachet." Yan Xiaoxi answered truthfully.

"Damn it, where are you hiding it?" Nangong Lin also knew that the scented sachet wasn't with Yan Xiaoxi because he had sent the thief. He originally wanted to smoothly retrieve the scented sachet, but as for this woman, he could have left her to fend for herself.

Unexpectedly, the scented sachet was not on her body.

Yan Xiaoxi smiled and said calmly, "It was stolen."

"Stolen?" The three words came from Nangong Lin's gnashing teeth.

"That's right. Otherwise, why do you think I've been a vegetarian for the past few days? Isn't it just that I don't have any money?" Yan Xiaoxi pouted her delicate red lips as she innocently complained.

Three black lines appeared on Nangong Lin's forehead.

How could this woman's thoughts jump? Was the current atmosphere a time to discuss food?

But how could he know that eating was the most important thing in Yan Xiaoxi's life, surpassing everything else. Of course, it was more important than the scented sachet.

"What exactly is in the scented sachet?" The curious baby Yan Xiaoxi actively asked.

Of course, she wouldn't hear Nangong Lin's answer.

Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips. In her heart, she felt that Nangong Lin was extremely stingy. She had told him everything, but he had hidden everything from her. He really wasn't nice enough.

She no longer wanted to play with him. Yan Xiaoxi didn't like people like him.

Yan Xiaoxi turned her head angrily, purposely not looking in Nangong Lin's direction.

This was also the first time Nangong Lin had met such an indeterminate woman. She was not afraid of him, did not pester him, and did not deliberately approach him. Yan Xiaoxi was definitely the first person he would meet.

Seeing that the situation was in a deadlock, the whereabouts of the scented sachet became increasingly unclear. In order to reduce the scope of the battle, the only way was to rely on Yan Xiaoxi's help.

"Yan Xiaoxi." Nangong Lin shouted.

Yan Xiaoxi had clearly heard his words, so she intentionally ignored him.

"Yan Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, Xi Er." Nangong Lin pushed Yan Xiaoxi's body.

"No, I didn't." Yan Xiaoxi, who was still angry, didn't even want to bother with Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin, who had been following Yan Xiaoxi before, had also seen her gluttonous personality. He tentatively said, "I'll buy you something to eat."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaoxi immediately turned her head, her eyes shining as she questioned, "Really."

The expression on his face was exactly the same as when he first met Bei Bai Xi.

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxi was finally willing to speak, Nangong Lin knew that this method was effective. Thus, he continued, "You can buy anything you want to eat."

"Wow! That's great! You're truly a good person," Yan Xiaoxi excitedly grabbed onto Nangong Lin's arm. Her smile was pure and innocent, capable of penetrating a person's heart.

Very quickly, Yan Xiaoxi brought Nangong Lin back to the Cloud Tavern.

This time, Yan Xiaoxi did not hold back. She ordered several tables of food and a single meal. The entire kitchen was completely emptied and became a topic of discussion for everyone after the meal.

Yan Xiaoxi burped and finally managed to recover the meat she hadn't eaten in a while.

Previously, he had used Bei Bai Xi's silver. Yan Xiao Xi had to endure it every time she ate, not eating to her heart's content.

"Brother Bei." Yan Xiaoxi raised her head and saw Bei Bai walking through the door.

"Xi Er." Bei Bai Xi had been searching for traces of Yan Xiaoxi. As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw Yan Xiaoxi frantically eating regardless of her appearance.

However, when he saw that Yan Xiaoxi was safe and sound, he heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the table to sit down.

"Why is the prince here?" He had met Nangong Lin a few times back at the Immortal Spirit Island and immediately recognized him.

Nangong Lin smiled in ridicule and asked, "Why is the crown prince in the Southern Water Country?"

Their gazes met, and they immediately felt as if the air had been filled with the smoke of a battle.

"What, what? Brother Bei, are you the crown prince? " Yan Xiaoxi shouted out loud in front of the crowd. As soon as she said those words, she immediately felt that something was wrong and hurriedly covered her mouth.
