Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 20 I really shouldn't have held back like this.
"He's fine. I just took him back to the Assassin's Sanctuary."

Meeting Sheng Cai'er's somewhat surprised gaze, Feng Jing explained and then added more details.

"The Assassin's Temple is quite a distance from here, and it will take him several more days to get here."

"In the next few days, it will be handled by—"

"Our little Long Haochen is here to protect you!"

Long Haochen pointed to himself, "Me...me?"

"Yup!"

Feng Jing nodded seriously, not thinking there was anything wrong with his decision.

Given her current state, Long Haochen couldn't really say anything. Besides, he did indeed have a crush on this little sister who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Hello, little sister, my name is Long Haochen."

"I will do my best to protect you before your family comes knocking on your door."

"My name is Cai'er."

Saint Cher also introduced herself, writing these words on the ground with a dagger.

Feng Jing knew Sheng Cai'er's identity, so she understood that the surname that Sheng Cai'er had deliberately omitted actually revealed some problems.

Saint Cai'er's full name does not actually reveal her identity, just as Long Haochen's self-introduction does not lead people to associate him with the Long family of the Knight Temple.

The omitted surname became a barrier between family members.

"Sister, I...I am Cai'er."

Noticing Feng Jing's gaze, Sheng Cai'er wrote another line, a little stubborn.

She knows it's wrong to lie.

But she is Cai'er.

If she could, she would only want to be Cai'er, not Sheng Cai'er.

"Okay, hello Xiao Cai'er."

"I am Feng Jing, not Feng Jingjian Feng Jing."

If she wasn't willing to mention it, Feng Jing naturally wouldn't either.

"So this 'sister' wasn't referring to me after all!"

Seeing Sheng Cai'er's relaxed expression, Long Haochen also breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he came to his senses, he felt that something seemed off.

"Wait, you can't call her 'sister'!"

Thank goodness, I managed to react in time.

"If you call her 'sister,' then how am I supposed to address her?"

Long Haochen was anxious; he didn't want to lose his seniority for no reason.

Unable to speak, Sheng Cai'er could only look up at Long Haochen with a question mark in her big eyes.

"Auntie, say something!"

Long Haochen looked at Feng Jing, who was watching the show without saying a word, and felt utterly helpless and speechless.

"You really can't call me sister."

"Just like Xiao Chenchen, call me Auntie."

Feng Jing didn't feel old just because she was called "aunt." She only felt that it meant she was of a higher generation, and she liked being of a higher generation.

But Sheng Cai'er hesitated. Although she was young and had little contact with people, she still felt something was off.

"Let's go home."

Feng Jing was about to take the two children back, but after walking for a while, her temper flared up again.

"No, who's still following me?!"

"So what if you can only stalk people!"

"And the tracking was so clumsy, it's so annoying!"

Feng Jing shouted towards the empty space behind him.

She thought that since she had said that, the people following her would show up in front of her.

But it didn't.

The emptiness seemed to mock her.

"Oh? Someone has been following you, Auntie? Are you in danger?"

Long Haochen became anxious when he heard that someone had been following Feng Jing.

Although he couldn't sense anyone, he unconditionally believed Feng Jing's words; if Feng Jing said there was someone, then there was. "It shouldn't be."

Feng Jing rubbed Long Haochen's head, his voice filled with annoyance but not worry.

“He’s been following me all the way from the Holy City to Bright Moon City. If he really wanted to do something to me, he would have done it already.”

"It's just that he does nothing but stalk, which is kind of annoying."

Because she discovered that someone was following her, Feng Jing deliberately took a detour when she returned, which made her late, but she still couldn't shake off the person.

Honestly, Feng Jing felt that it would have been more comfortable if that person had shown up and attacked her, or even tried to kill her, than if things were like this.

After rolling his eyes around, Long Haochen grabbed Sheng Cai'er.

"Auntie, how about Cai'er and I slip away first, and you go all out, or call for backup?"

That's incredibly clever and self-aware.

He knew the gap between himself and Feng Jing; their presence here would only be a burden to Feng Jing and wouldn't help him at all.

Judging from Feng Jing's tone when speaking to the person who was following him, Long Haochen knew that Feng Jing wanted to fight that person, even though he might not be able to win and would have to call for help.

However, Long Haochen knew that he and Cai'er would hinder Feng Jing's performance.

"No need for that, it hasn't come to that yet."

Annoying as it may be, Feng Jing felt that she could endure it if she didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe.

But the next moment, Feng Jing regretted his decision.

A voice called out from not far away, and a beautiful woman in a white dress walked towards them.

"Xiao Jing, Chen Chen, are you alright?"

It turned out that Bai Yue had gone out to look for them long after their agreed time to return home, and the food had gone cold and been reheated before they returned.

"Mom, we're okay."

Long Haochen immediately responded loudly.

"I'm glad you're all alright. Whose child is this? He's so cute."

Upon getting closer, Bai Yue noticed the presence of Sheng Cai'er, whose fair and lovely appearance easily won people's favor.

This was supposed to be a heartwarming scene, but—

But then someone had to come and spoil the mood.

The person who had been following Feng Jing all this time hadn't shown up earlier or later, but only now.

"Yue!"

A strong, familiar voice called out, leaving Bai Yue stunned.

Feng Jing was also stunned and clenched his fists.

"I really shouldn't have held back like this."

"Could you let me turn back time again, just five minutes ago?"

"Look at me, I'm not..."

Feng Jing thought with some resentment.

Although she wasn't familiar with this person, she had a fairly good memory and could remember the voice and scent of people she knew.

"Yue, it really is you."

"I never expected to find you here. I've finally found you."

Suddenly appearing and squeezing between Long Haochen and Bai Yue was a rather tall figure, clearly an adult male.

Looking at Bai Yue again, she saw that she was already looking at that figure, tears of emotion streaming down her face.

"Stars, the universe..."

Bai Yue never imagined she would see Long Xingyu here; when she first heard his voice, she thought she was hallucinating.

Even now, I feel like I'm dreaming.

"Who are you!"

"Don't touch my mom!"

The little Long Haochen reacted very strongly. Taking advantage of his small size, he stood close to Bai Yue, spreading his arms to block her, looking at the person in front of him with great vigilance.

Long Haochen did not recognize the person in front of him.

But he felt that those who made his mother cry and his aunt angry were not good people.

"This is……"

The first thing Long Xingyu saw was Long Haochen's blue eyes, and thinking of something bad, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes as well.
