There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Honglian truly deserves her reputation as the most beloved daughter of the King of Han. Although she is only sixteen years old, she already possesses a stunning beauty.

Her thick, dark hair was woven into an exquisite bun, with silver hair ornaments adorning her forehead, shimmering in the forest light, just like sunlight peeking through the gaps in the clouds.

Its shape is strange.

At first glance, it resembles a blooming lotus flower.

Upon closer inspection, however, one cannot help but feel that its shape resembles several venomous snakes intertwined and coiled, with the rubies adorning it being the cold and ruthless pupils of the snakes.

No matter how exquisite, precious, or masterfully crafted a piece of jewelry may be, it is ultimately just an embellishment.

The truly radiant and captivating are those who wear jewelry.

Honglian possessed a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, exquisite features with an air of pampered elegance, and skin as smooth and delicate as jade, fair and flawless with a charming and vibrant rosy hue.

What is most unforgettable is the carefree and innocent expression on the girl's face.

In this chaotic world of seven warring states, this is a treasure more precious than gold.

Jiang Mo was slightly dazed.

Despite their completely different appearances and temperaments, he seemed to see in Honglian the girl who used to drag him around everywhere, just as innocent and carefree.

But who knows if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

However, Honglian is still Honglian. As a pampered Korean princess, she would not run around the mountains and fields without shoes and socks.

Even though she had just been attacked by hungry wolves, her clothes remained dignified.

The dress was impeccably tailored and crafted, yet its design was somewhat ingenious. A pink ribbon wrapped around her slender neck and tied to a silver ring on her chest. Black satin ribbons extended from the silver ring to both sides, wrapping around her fair back.

Her smooth, fragrant shoulders and her jade-like arms, like lotus roots, were exposed without any cover, with only pink arm guards providing slight concealment at her wrists.

Further down the slender waist, there is a purple corset with intricate patterns.

Furthermore, a pink ribbon was tied into a bow shape, hanging down in front of her body and swaying slightly with the girl's movements, highlighting her playful and cute appearance.

The hem of her dress was slit like a cheongsam, allowing a glimpse of her long, fair legs from the side.

She wore a pair of peach-colored leather boots, which were not only exquisite and beautiful, but also added a touch of competence and neatness to her appearance.

Although the outfit wasn't designed to be form-fitting, it still revealed her ample bosom.

Such a broad mind at such a young age.

The future is limitless!

With an innocent and carefree expression, coupled with a figure that conceals such a voluptuous figure, she truly is the epitome of a youthful face and large breasts.

Jiang Mo put his arm around the girl's waist, which allowed him to better appreciate the girl's slender figure.

Especially the temperature transmitted through the fingertips.

The warmth of the living stirred in Jiang Mo a moth-to-a-flame longing within him, making him yearn to hold Honglian tightly in his arms.

He longed to forcefully meld her into his own body.

To satisfy the insatiable, greedy thirst in one's heart for warmth.

Subconsciously, Jiang Mo tightened his left arm and pulled Honglian closer to him.

"ah!"

Honglian, who had been stunned, felt a strong and powerful arm and couldn't help but let out a small gasp.

The chilling touch, in particular, made her body tremble slightly.

Even her peach-blossom-like face couldn't help but show a hint of paleness.

It seemed to be disturbed by the biting cold.

Jiang Mo snapped out of his longing for warmth, cursed under his breath that the hidden sorcerer truly deserved to die, and quickly helped Hong Lian to her feet before letting go of her.

To avoid the coldness emanating from one's body from infecting or harming the other party.

But Honglian stared at Jiang Mo's right arm. After regaining her balance, she took the initiative to pull Jiang Mo's arm in front of her.

You're injured!

Jiang Mo was slightly taken aback. Following Hong Lian's gaze, he noticed that his arm was covered in blood, just like a red bean on white jade.

It was extremely eye-catching.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Jiang Mo shrugged, seemingly unconcerned. In fact, if Hong Lian hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even realized he was injured.

It can only mean that the hungry wolf wasn't strong or ruthless enough.

It only bit through a little bit of the outer skin.

"How could this be a minor matter?! It's obvious that even your bones are injured. Wait a moment, I, the princess, will bandage you up right away."

Honglian, however, was unusually stubborn and did not let Jiang Mo get away with it so easily. She took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom and carefully bandaged Jiang Mo's wound.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

There are indeed some fractures.

However, it wasn't as Honglian thought; he was bitten by the hungry wolf while trying to save her. Rather, he had used too much force when Jiang Mogen was arm-wrestling with the Hidden Witch's neck.

It must be said that the other party is quite capable.

An admirable opponent.

Unfortunately, reduced pain sensitivity inevitably brings a host of problems.

As a natural limiter of the human body, the sensation of pain can effectively prevent self-injury caused by excessive exertion. However, after Jiang Mo's body became a corpse puppet, his sensation of pain became dulled.

Combined with the Ten Thousand Gu Threads Technique, it's easy to end up ruining yourself.

However, there are many complexities involved.

Jiang Mo didn't bother to explain; he simply lowered his head and watched quietly as Honglian bandaged him.

As a pampered princess, she had obviously never done anything like this before, so she seemed particularly clumsy and would even bump into Jiang Mo's wound from time to time.

If Jiang Mo were a normal person, he would probably be wincing in pain.

However, now that the pain has been dulled, the pain is nothing more than a drizzle, so Jiang Mo is able to calmly appreciate Hong Lian's profile.

Appreciating the other person's focused and cautious demeanor.

She was completely unaware as she gently rubbed her chest against Jiang Mo's arm, the girl's delicate fragrance wafting into Jiang Mo's nose.

Okay~

After finishing bandaging Jiang Mo's arm, Honglian clapped her hands, looking quite pleased with her handiwork at the pink ribbon. With her hands behind her back, she smiled and leaned forward to Jiang Mo, asking:

"What's your name? What are you doing here?"

Chapter 28 Princess, you don't even have ten taels of silver, do you?

"I am but a commoner, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Mo withdrew his gaze from Honglian's arm, but instead of answering Honglian's question directly, he asked about something he was concerned about:

"But why is the princess here all alone?"

"In the wilderness, wild animals roam freely, and it is extremely dangerous to encounter someone with malicious intent."

"Hmph, who dares to lay a hand on this princess? I'll have my father wipe out their entire family!"

Honglian stood with her hands on her hips, appearing exceptionally spoiled and willful.

However, she immediately pouted, kicked at the branches and dry leaves in front of her with great dissatisfaction, and complained:

"I originally came to pick up Ninth Brother."

"The scout said his last known location was nearby, but who would have thought that Ninth Brother couldn't be found, and his guards have also disappeared. What a bunch of useless trash. When we get back, I'll have Father send them home to farm."

You're the one who's lost, aren't you?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo couldn't help but inwardly grumble, but suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the guards surrounding Hong Lian.

Dealing with such a spoiled and lively princess is no easy task.

However, compared to those unlucky souls, Jiang Mo was more concerned with the other information revealed in Hong Lian's words.

Ninth Brother, Han Fei.

I was about to go out to meet him but couldn't find him. It seems that it's probably around the time when the "Nine Songs of the Sky" anime started and Han Fei returned from his studies.

Well, it's not too late.

There are still many things that can be done in time.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me? How dare you ignore this princess!"

Just as he was pondering, a touch of peach pink suddenly appeared before his eyes. It was Honglian, who had moved closer to him with some dissatisfaction, swaying back and forth.

"Sorry, I was checking the condition of my wound just now."

Jiang Mo now lies without the slightest change in expression, and his words immediately dispelled the arrogance on Hong Lian's face.

Taking advantage of the other party's guilt, Jiang Mo asked:

"What were your orders, Princess?"

"It's nothing. I just think you're much more skilled than my guards, and I'm considering recommending you to my father as my bodyguard."

Subconsciously playing with the strands of hair that fell beside her ear, Honglian avoided Jiang Mo's gaze somewhat guiltily.

I dared not look him in the eye.

Afraid of revealing her little secret thoughts, she couldn't help but add a sentence as supplementary information:

"This princess is fair in her rewards and punishments; this is your reward for saving the emperor just now."

Don't overthink it~

When people say "don't overthink it," what they often mean is, "I won't say anything, but you'd better think about it."
