Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"Aunt, didn't you just listen to what the Sky Fox Goddess said? Just let nature take its course. If you fail, just come back."

......

Chu Wuji's attention returned to his physical body, and he broke the resonance with his innate primordial spirit. He continued to look inward at the primordial spirit cave and found that the little Qilin was in the process of "overclocking" practice. He felt fulfilled and satisfied for the primordial spirit!

He glanced at his side. The two girls were tired from playing and were sleeping soundly in his arms, carefree and comfortable.

Chu Wuji picked them up and went to the princess's room to see if the little princess was there.

In recent days, the princess should have had more contact with the little princess, and they would chat about classics and history books together in the afternoon.

Chu Wuji first put Yao'er and Xiaotu to bed, then moved to the study, and sure enough, he saw the little princess chatting with Princess Jing'an.

They were talking about scriptures and calligraphy. The little princess Huaiwan was very envious of the princess's knowledge, as she could actually see the manuscripts of the immortal's works!

"Are these copies of the princess's handwriting? Why is this one so... sloppy and messy?" The little princess was flipping through the princess's past calligraphy exercises when she suddenly came across a rather strange one.

The intelligent and elegant beauty princess's face inevitably froze.

The piece of rice paper that the princess was holding was the evidence that Chu Wuji had used the excuse of feeling the charm of the handwriting to fool around with Princess Jing'an at the desk last time.

Princess Jing'an's face flushed slightly, and she remained calm as she said:

"This exercise was scribbled by Yao'er and the others. They were in a hurry and wanted to go play as soon as they finished practicing, so this is why it's so sloppy."

The little princess nodded, a little surprised:

"The princess is so kind to her daughter that she still kept this exercise even though it was written so sloppily."

Chapter 392 Trying to Change the Grand Princess

Chu Wuji was listening outside the door, and his reaction was the same as that of the little princess. He was also a little surprised, but the content of his surprise was a little different.

He remembered that Princess Jing'an was quite ashamed at the time. She was clearly sharing the handwriting and calligraphy of the works of such sages, but she did such a thing. It was really embarrassing and she had no face to face those scriptures.

I didn't expect Princess Jing'an to put that piece of rice paper away.

"It seemed to have been torn a little at the time. Rice paper is so thin that a large piece almost fell apart after getting wet. Did the princess take care of it?"

Chu Wuji was surprised and laughed, then waited for the two people in the room to skip this topic. When he was about to go into the room and show his face, the little princess brought up another very interesting topic, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Um...Princess, what kind of person is Young Master Chu in his daily life?" Huai Wan asked.

"Haven't you been visiting Prince Jing'an's Mansion for several days? You should have seen it yourself. Why are you asking me? Besides, I only say good things about Wu Ji, so why do you trust me so much and ask me about it?" Princess Jing'an asked with a chuckle.

The princess hesitated for a moment and explained frankly:

"I feel the princess can be trusted. She's not wary of me because of my identity... Also, the few days I've been here, Master Chu has been playing with Princess Yao'er and Miss Xiaotu. He doesn't quite fit my imagination of a god."

Being able to open her heart like this, Huai Wan really trusts Princess Jing'an, because the princess can devote herself to studying the art of writing and does not pursue superficial beauty. A woman with such patience can't be that bad.

Moreover, many times, one can tell a thing or two about the owner of a mansion by looking at the servants. The maids here are mentally relaxed and do not have the anxiety of being slaves.

Princess Jing'an said:

"I think Wuji is great. He plays with little girls like that because he's not a god or immortal. He just... has great abilities!"

The princess nodded, apologizing for her presumptuous question, and said:

"Before I came here, I heard people around me talk about how terrible it was, and I couldn't help but worry about what life would be like as a married woman. I've been observing quietly for the past few days, and it's not as terrible as I expected, so I'm a little confused."

Princess Jing'an almost forgot about the marriage. She was glad that Chu Wuji didn't agree to it, otherwise...

One day, on the wedding night of the marriage, the princess found that Chu Wuzhi had also pulled her adoptive mother, the princess, into the room. The princess didn't know how to face the child's gaze.

I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it!

Chu Wuji waited for a while before walking into the room, pretending to have just arrived.

"Mother, is Princess Huaiwan here too?"

"Wu Ji, you are here. Aren't Yao'er and Xiao Tu sticking to you?" The elegant and dignified princess brewed another cup of tea and handed it to Chu Wu Ji. She looked at him with bright eyes and there was a warm maternal look in her eyes.

"They are tired from playing and have fallen asleep."

Chu Wuji took the tea and walked over. The princess followed suit and saluted. Chu Wuji asked a few formal greetings.

Such as: What did you talk about with the princess, are you used to living in Lihuo Country, etc...

The princess gave a polite and detailed answer, not forgetting to thank the princess for her company and care, and her etiquette in all aspects was in place.

"Sometimes I feel unfamiliar with the place, but the princess treats me very kindly, and Wan'er has adapted quite well here!"

Chu Wuji felt more and more that this girl was not suitable to be an imperial princess, even though she had studied the ins and outs of this identity very carefully. Especially when they first met, he could indeed feel the majesty of an imperial princess.

Chu Wuji had worried before that this girl might start a "proud princess being humiliated" drama because of her dignity or something, just like Yun Qingying's shameful and angry reaction when he tricked her into the back garden.

It turns out I was overthinking it.

Huai Wan's character didn't have that kind of pride at all. She came here with the awareness of sacrificing herself for the country and the people...

Chu Wuji scratched his head and said frankly:

"Princess Di, if you had just said you weren't used to living here, I could have taken the opportunity to send you back to Tianji Country. Do you want to answer again? I'm planning to go to Tianji Country soon."

Huai Wan blinked, took a moment to digest his words, shook her head and said:

"No need, Wan'er thinks it's fine here too."

Princess Jing'an did not reject this girl. After exploring her character, she quite approved of this princess from the neighboring country. She asked with concern:

"Why? Even though Wan'er and I just chatted a few days ago, it shouldn't be as familiar as your hometown, right?"

The graceful and elegant girl replied:

"I don't have the courage to sit on the throne of the Princess. If I were to take charge in the future, I'm afraid it would bring disaster to the people. Now, at least I can do something for the people of Tianji Country as a hostage. If I suddenly go back, I'll be back to the old ways..."

Huaiwan mentioned more past events here.

After the previous princess disappeared, this position in Tianji Kingdom became vacant. Huaiwan's family background met the bloodline requirements and she was considered to be of a higher generation among the royal family, so her family pushed her up.

She just sat there to represent the interests of her family.

If possible, Huaiwan actually wants to be a doctor in the Imperial Medical Clinic. This is what she wants to do.

Ever since she was pushed to the position of imperial princess, she didn't even dare to read medical books rashly, for fear of being scolded for "damaging her dignity". Now that she was in a foreign country, she began to flip through those old books without any worries.

"That's why there are such big differences between people! Princess Di has such a sense of responsibility at such a young age~" Chu Wuji sighed with admiration.

"Chu Wuji is overpraising you. I've heard the princess say a lot about you, and I can only talk about you. But you've actually done a lot of good things. For example, I met Sister Gong Li once in Chizhao Town!"

A strange light flashed in Huaiwan's bright eyes. She had no idea that such a miraculous thing had happened on the border of her country.

Moreover, the Gong family belonged to people she knew, and she had met the Minister and his wife during festivals before.

Chu Wuji didn't deserve this praise. He must have felt guilty because he had stolen the land of Tianji Country and taken the title deed to Jiangjun Mountain...

"The previous princess of Tianji Kingdom disappeared? Can such an identity just disappear like that?" He frowned in confusion.

"I heard that she became the successor of the Kunlun Saint, but Wan'er doesn't know the truth and has never been to that holy place."

The Saint's successor?

The image of the Kunlun Saint wearing crystal embroidered shoes emerged in Chu Wuji’s mind. Is she the new generation of Saint?

In other words, she was also the Princess of Tianji Kingdom before entering the Immortal Family? No wonder she could chat so closely with the High Priest, with no sense of distance between immortals and mortals at all.

Isn’t this even more of a coincidence? I can just take the little princess there and see if I can “exchange” her for a bigger princess.

"I'll be leaving for Kunlun Ruins in the next couple of days. I'll take you with me and have you meet the old princess to ask for some Kunlun Medical Classics."

"...Mr. Chu, please don't force Wan'er to leave." The princess looked embarrassed, and determination was revealed in her clear and flawless eyes.

It seemed as if he was saying that even if he sent her away, she would come back as a hostage for the sake of the people of Tianji Country!

Chu Wuji laughed and said seriously:

"I won't leave you there by force. I just happen to be going to Kunlun Ruins on business. If you get used to living here, I'll bring you back then."

Princess Jing'an was speaking for Chu Wuji. Even though she didn't know Chu Wuji's intention, she agreed first:

"Wan'er, if you can use your connections to get a few medical classics back, then we can have something to talk about~"

When the princess heard the two of them say this, she nodded in agreement. She was also extremely curious about the holy land of immortals in her country.

"Well then, Wan'er will borrow Master Chu's blessing to get a glimpse of the magnificent scenery of Kunlun Ruins!"

Princess Jing'an recalled some rumors and said:

"I heard that in Tianji Country, there's a Ghost Festival this month? I don't see that happening in Lihuo Country."

Huai Wan nodded: "There are sacrificial parades for the Ghost Festival. It seems that some places have them, but some don't. They are even held in the Ozawa Kingdom to the north of the Fire Kingdom."

Chu Wuji calculated the time. Could the many ghosts and spirits he saw in Yunze Township, Xiaoze Country, be related to this?

"Are there any taboos about this Ghost Festival? Do ghosts and spirits really haunt it?"

Huai Wan had no idea about this kind of thing, she could only talk about her own experiences:

"According to custom, during this period, the yin energy is very strong, so women should not go out at night, and men with weak bodies should not walk at night. The government will organize sacrifices to commemorate ancestors and relatives.

There are many stories of people encountering evil spirits in folklore, but I've never personally seen anyone actually encounter one."

Chu Wuji remembered that even if an ordinary person really encountered it, he might not be able to see it!

When he was attacked by the Rat Taoist, he was sweating profusely, and the mountain dog's eyes were better than his.

"Ghosts and spirits are minor problems. If we really run into trouble, I'll go straight to Kongtong Mountain to call for help!"

Chapter 393 Return to Kunlun Ruins

A few days later, Wen Yaoer learned that the princess next door was going out with Chu Wuzhi, and she felt like the sky was falling.

From then on, she was like a koala, wrapped around Chu Wuzhi's thighs. Wherever he went, Wen Yaoer would follow him.

"Yao'er, there's no need to be like this. Calculate the time and I'll be back in two days at most." Chu Wuji knew she would react like this and coaxed her.

"Two days has been a long time, a very long time!" Yao'er dragged out the tone, looked up at him with tearful eyes, and acted coquettishly in every way.

"Is it that exaggerated~" Chu Wuzhi walked to the cat park and tried to get the cats to attract her attention, but Yao'er stuck to it firmly.

"Yes, Tianji Country is the home of that princess. What if she forces the princess to marry her in her own country and then comes back with her brother?"

The princess even forced herself on him, I wonder where Yaoer learned this phrase from.

Even if the old princess wanted to force the girl to do it, it was not the turn of the young princess to do so.

Chu Wuji didn't want to bring Yao'er with him because he was afraid of the strange behavior of the three women of Kunlun, especially Yu Nu. If she came over and harassed him, Chu Wuji would feel embarrassed.

"The princess is going to force herself on you, and even Yao'er can't stop her." Chu Wuji lowered one arm and stroked her soft face, which was so tender that it seemed as if it could be blown away.

"Yes, Yaoer learned the cat punch from Maoer. It hurts so much when you hit someone! It makes a loud bang!"

The little princess in a skirt waved her pink arms and gestured a few times, then emphasized:

"Yao'er at least knows some magic, but Diji doesn't know anything. If she can go, why can't Yao'er go?"

She has connections, the Saint is right there, and when the Jade Girl makes things difficult for her, the Saint, the old princess, will protect Huaiwan.

Chu Wuji tried to make a deal with Yaoer: "I will be back the day after tomorrow and take Yaoer to the little fox's secluded place!"

The girl wavered, pursed her lips, and then made up her mind: "Brother's lifelong event is more important. Yao'er can't let this lead to distraction!"

Chu Wuji had no more tricks to use, so he gave in and said, "Okay, then let the Sky Fox Queen stay on Yao'er and protect you."

Hearing this, Wen Yaoer finally smiled, wiped the tears from her eyes, and raised her hands towards Chu Wuji:

"Brother hug!"

Chu Wuzhi picked up Yao'er and saw the little rabbit on the other leg, and also learned to raise his hand.

"Xiaotu, you are not allowed to go with her. Madam Baihu will be coming over in the next two days. You should stay with her and let Madam Jiang make some meat soup for you."

Xiaotu subconsciously wanted to be stubborn, but after hearing the last sentence, he immediately became obedient and nodded in agreement.

What Chu Wuji was actually worried about was not entirely about Madam Baihu. He would be back soon and would not let Madam Baihu wait too long.

But if Lady Tianhu stays with Yao'er, Madam Jiang will have no one to protect her. In this case, Xiaotu will have to stay with Madam Jiang.
