Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

A gust of wind mixed with the wet smell of soil blew in my face, and the leaves on the branches that were already shaky were finally blown down by the wind.

Manrong raised her head and moved her gaze along the leaves to the man under the tree.

By the way, isn’t there a ready-made helper?

When this man rescued her, his actions were swift, clean and neat, and he exuded a powerful aura from his whole body. It was obvious at first glance that he was an expert.

Manrong still remembers the scene she saw before she fell into a coma: the young man rescued her from danger and attacked the group of men in black who were coming at her aggressively.

The corners of his clothes and hair that were fluttering due to the vibration of his true energy, as well as his high-spirited appearance, were all deeply imprinted in Manrong's heart.

Thinking of this, Man Rong stood up without hesitation, clapped his hands, and invited the man: "Young man, are you willing to help me take back the throne?"

Shiji, who was leaning against a tree, was attracted by the movement. She raised her eyes and glanced at it, then said calmly, "Shiji."

"Hmm?" Manrong was a little confused.

"My name." Shiji explained.

Man Rong nodded in sudden realization: "Then, Young Master Shiji, are you willing to help me take back the throne?"

Shiji straightened up and narrowed his eyes: "Why do you think I will help you?"

The pressure emanating from the man made Manrong a little nervous. She pinched her fingers helplessly and stared at Shiji with her deer-like eyes, not knowing how to answer.

"Because... you are a good person?" Man Rong asked in confusion.

But Shiji didn't say anything, nor did he look at her again. He stood there quietly, with no emotion in his beautiful eyes, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.

In fact, Shiji was indeed immersed in her own world.

He never does things for others and doesn't like being ordered around. He always directly refuses such requests.

However, after hearing this woman say yesterday that she was from the Rose Empire, he almost immediately thought of a top-quality treasure of the Rose Empire - the legendary top-quality Golden Bell Cover.

If he gets this treasure, it will help him recover the energy of chaos. Shiji doesn't want to miss this opportunity, but he also doesn't want to break his principles for this.

This treasure was so attractive to him that he carefully weighed the pros and cons, so it took him a little longer to think.

The wind blew up the leaves, making a rustling sound. From time to time, a few sharp bird calls were heard in the forest. The atmosphere gradually became tense and awkward.

Manrong lowered her head and tapped her toes on the ground, but she couldn't hear Shiji's voice. She didn't dare to disturb him again. After all, if she made him unhappy, he could kill her in a few strokes with his skills.

Manrong waited and waited, but Shiji still didn't speak. She was a little impatient, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

Her thoughts were erratic, turning around and coming back. Seeing Shiji still looking like she was not interested in the world, Manrong finally couldn't help herself. She called out to Shiji softly, "What's wrong with you? You've been thinking about it for so long."

Shiji also came back to his senses: "Sorry, I was thinking about something."

Man Rong nodded in understanding, and then spoke carefully: "Have you thought about the matter I just mentioned?"

Shiji smiled lightly and did not answer directly, but changed the subject: "I heard that the Rose Empire is a woman's world. I am a grown man, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to survive there."

Manrong understood immediately after hearing this. She was very thoughtful and could not fail to understand his hidden meaning. So she quickly comforted him, "Young man, you are worrying too much. As long as you are willing to help me regain the throne, when I sit on the throne of the Rose Empire, I promise that you will enjoy a high status in our country, become a distinguished guest of our Rose Empire, and be admired by thousands of people. How about it?"

Shiji was not actually worried about this, it was just an excuse he made up. What he was really worried about was whether he could successfully find the ultimate golden bell cover and restore the chaotic energy.

He actually didn't care much about the Rose Empire. However, since Manrong said so, he just went with the flow.

Of course, he would not tell Man Rong about the Supreme Golden Bell Cover. He did not want to reveal such an important matter to a girl he was not familiar with.

In this case, helping her regain the throne is also a good choice for him. It is a win-win situation.

Shiji looked at Manrong's expectant eyes and nodded calmly.

"Okay." His cold voice reached Manrong's ears.

When Manrong heard this answer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he agreed.

She gave Shiji a bright smile, "I knew you were a good person."

Shiji did not respond to her smile.

The matter was resolved, and Manrong felt much more relaxed. She ran back to her original seat and sat down. Shiji looked at her lively appearance and said nothing, still leaning against the tree.

After a while, Manrong suddenly realized that she had not asked Shiji when they would leave.

She looked up at Shiji who was resting with his eyes closed, and opened her mouth but no words came out.

Shiji, however, sensed her little movement and asked, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Oh! I want to ask when we will set off for the Rose Empire." Manrong replied quickly.

"Your injury hasn't healed completely yet. Take a day off today and set off tomorrow," said Shiji.

Man Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

She knew that he was just trying to appease her, and that her injury was actually not that serious.

However, it was rare for someone to care about her so much, and she wanted to enjoy this care.

From time to time, the calls of unknown animals could be heard from the depths of the forest, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and the chirping of insects.

Manrong had been through a lot in the past few days and was exhausted. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.

The experiences of the past few days were like a nightmare to her. She was chased by her own sister and was fortunately saved by Shiji who passed by. She was seriously injured, and it was Shiji's elixir that saved her life.

Shiji was like a lifesaver to her, and he also promised to help her regain the throne.

When she ascends the throne, she will make sure that everyone in the Rose Empire respects him and will never look down on him just because he is a man. Shiji felt that Manrong's breathing gradually became stable and knew that she had fallen asleep. He thought about it and took out a blanket from the mustard seed space and put it on her. She had just been seriously injured. If she caught a cold again, she would not be able to recover for a while. He did not want her to delay his search for the ultimate golden bell cover and the restoration of the chaotic energy.

After putting on the blanket, Shiji returned to the tree, a little further away from Manrong.

Men and women should not touch each other, not to mention that she is a princess of a country, she should take these things very seriously. He didn't want to spread any rumors to make her angry.

Manrong felt a weight on her shoulder while she was sleeping, but she was too tired to think about what it was. Anyway, she didn't feel any dangerous aura, so she continued to sleep.

Night fell, the moon rose in the sky, and the stars were shining. The temperature dropped suddenly at night. Although she had the true qi to protect her body, Man Rong couldn't help shivering and wrapped the blanket tightly around her.

Wait, a blanket? She suddenly realized that someone had put the blanket on her. There were only her and Shiji here, so it must have been Shiji who did it.

Manrong's heart was filled with gratitude and emotion.

She secretly looked up and glanced at Shiji, only to see him resting with his eyes closed, the moonlight shining on him, adding a touch of sacredness to him. Manrong did not disturb him, but just gathered the blanket around her and fell asleep again.

The sun and the moon alternated, the stars changed. As soon as the morning light appeared, Manrong woke up. Her mood fluctuated greatly yesterday, so she slept particularly deeply this time.

She stretched, rubbed her eyes, and turned her head to look at Shiji beside her, but found that he had already woken up, or maybe he hadn't slept at all.

"Good morning, Shiji," she greeted.

Shiji nodded, "Have you rested well? Then let's set off."

Manrong nodded quickly and stood up, picked up the blanket that fell on the ground and handed it to Shiji.

"No need, you keep it." Shiji said.

Manrong did not refuse. After putting away the blanket, the two of them set off for the Rose Empire together.

The two packed their luggage early in the morning and set out on their journey. On the way, Manrong secretly looked at Shiji beside her, thinking in her heart how to use this extraordinary man to fight against her sister and seize the throne.

Shiji was also secretly observing Manrong, thinking about the real purpose of helping her. Both of them had their own thoughts and were unaware of the killer who had been following them.

Along the way, the two didn't talk much until a dart brushed past Manrong's ear. She suddenly woke up and realized that the killer had been lurking around.

However, before she could react, Shiji had already jumped out of the carriage and started a fierce battle with the killers together with his warriors. The killers were no match for Shiji and retreated one after another. Those who managed to escape were already scared out of their wits and fled in all directions.

After this assassination attempt, Manrong was extremely nervous and dared not be distracted anymore. Obviously, Xiaoqing did not intend to let her sister go. Even if the assassination failed, she still sent more people to continue hunting down Manrong.

But Shiji was careful and through a series of changes and detours, he successfully got rid of the people who were tracking them.

After being hunted down again, Manrong became more determined to use Shiji's power to get rid of her sister and seize the throne. She had no mercy on this cold-blooded sister.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful. Manrong took the initiative to find Shiji and reconfirmed their cooperation: she joined forces with Shiji to deal with Xiaoqing, and Shiji helped her obtain the top-grade golden bell cover and restore the chaotic energy.

Shiji looked at Manrong in front of him and said in a deep voice: "As long as you help me get what I want, I will naturally help you get rid of your sister and help you ascend to the throne."

Man Rong responded seriously: "I hope Mr. Chu can keep his word."

After that, the two stopped talking and each of them was thinking about their own plans.

Soon, they finally arrived at the gate of the Rose Empire. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, Manrong felt mixed emotions.

In order to enter the city smoothly, Manrong, Shiji and his warriors had to disguise themselves as a group of displaced refugees.

When being checked by the city gate guards, Manrong was very nervous, fearing that she would be recognized. Fortunately, the guards did not recognize that the ragged and haggard woman in front of them was their second princess, Manrong.

The tension in Manrong's heart gradually eased, and although Shiji beside her had a gloomy face, his emotions were still stable.

After escaping the inspection at the city gate, Man Rong was not in a hurry to return to the palace to face those "family members" who hoped she would die soon, especially her sister. After all, she was still with Shi Ji, a "dangerous" man.

Manrong began to think about how to place Shiji and his warriors. Shiji was also waiting for Manrong's decision. In this empire where men are superior to women, following a noble princess is undoubtedly a good choice.

After some thought, Manrong decided to take Shiji to the suburbs. Such a large group of people entering the city would definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion.

On the way to the suburbs, pedestrians cast disdainful glances at her, but Manrong felt relieved because this just showed that they did not recognize her as the second princess of the Rose Empire.

However, when they were about to reach the suburbs, the situation suddenly changed. Shiji felt that someone was following them, and there was more than one person.

After he told Manrong about this discovery, Manrong's face suddenly became extremely ugly. After a moment, she made a decision and asked Shiji to take the warriors to take a detour to deal with these troublesome killers.

Although Shiji was reluctant to be ordered around, thinking of the agreement between the two, he agreed to take the warriors to deal with the killers.

At the next fork, Manrong quietly left Shiji and blended into the crowd on the roadside, so that the killers could not find her trace.

Shiji and his men led the assassins into a small alley. When the assassins entered the alley, they found that there was no one there. They then realized that they had been tricked. However, it was too late. Shiji and his warriors rushed out from the darkness and quickly dealt with the assassins.

When Shiji and the others walked out of the alley, they saw Manrong waiting for them outside.

Man Rong was the first to speak after seeing them: "Master Chu is very skilled. These irrelevant people have delayed our time. Now, let's move on."

Shiji responded expressionlessly: "Thank you Princess Manrong for your compliment. I will follow your steps and hope you can abide by our agreement."

Manrong nodded. On the way to the suburbs, her heart was more bitter, but her determination to ascend the throne was also stronger.

The warriors beside Shiji looked at him with puzzled eyes all the way, as if they didn't understand why he would help a princess who was being hunted everywhere. But they didn't dare to question their master's decision.

On the way, Shiji suggested taking a break: "I think our team is too conspicuous. It would be safer for me to collect these warriors first. After all, too much killing will make me feel a little tired."

When Shiji proposed to withdraw the warriors, the warriors showed dissatisfaction on their faces, and low complaints came one after another. Manrong was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she felt that Shiji's approach was indeed more beneficial for the two of them to move in the city.

So, she casually said, "This will make it more convenient for us to act, and you should understand."

The warriors looked at Manrong with resentful eyes, as if they thought Shiji's decision was because of this poor princess. Manrong felt uncomfortable under their fierce gazes, and her face darkened. She felt that this was a kind of disobedience and provocation. (End of this chapter)
