"Is that really the case? Could it be that you're actually assassins or something?"

However, the girl in front of him did not believe the explanation given by Adam. On the contrary, she seemed to be even more suspicious of the two of them.

"What the hell are you talking about?! We just rescued you!"

When Xiao Te heard the girl's doubt, he was so angry that he wanted to punch her.

But the eyes of the girl in front of him always showed wisdom and calmness.

It's possible that I let the small fry chase first, while the real murderer pretends to pass by and acts bravely, and his real purpose is to get close to me.

"That's enough! If you keep talking, I'll beat you to death!"

Xiao Te felt like he was about to explode with anger! Who on earth was this person? How could he be so suspicious?

"Okay, Xiaote, there's no need for this kind of argument."

Just when Xiao Te was about to take action, Adam stopped Xiao Te from taking any further action.

"Anyway, we're just here to do what's right. Since they don't believe us, let's just leave."

"Yes, but..."

"You're not thinking of leaving a weak girl in the forest, are you? Forget it, we have time to investigate the surroundings."

Adam said this to Xiaote.

Seeing that Adam seemed to really want to leave, although Xiao Te didn't understand what Adam was thinking, he immediately followed Adam's footsteps.

"and many more!"

Just when Adam and Xiaote were about to leave, the girl from before suddenly spoke up to stop them.

"What? Is there anything else?"

At this time, Xiao Te put on a sour face and asked the girl.

"Just now, Mr. Assassin said to this puppet...you want to investigate the surrounding area?"

The girl was looking at the two of them with great interest, as if she had heard some interesting topic.

"assassin?"

"puppet?!"

Both Adam and Xiao Te fell silent at this moment when they heard the girl address them both.

"What the hell are you talking about! I'm not a puppet!"

Xiao Te raised his huge iron fists and said he would beat this guy up no matter what.

"Calm down."

Adam grabbed Xiao Te at this time, preventing him from attacking the girl.

Although he himself also cares a lot about the title of this assassin.

"It seems that you two really don't know who I am?"

"who is it?"

Xiao Te and Adam looked at the girl in front of them strangely.

Who else could it be but Theresa?

"Okay, let me introduce myself. My name is... Theresa Stargazer. You can just call me Stargazer."

"Theresa Stargazer?"

For some reason, whenever Adam heard this name, he always felt as if he was seeing Zhuge Cunfu.

"and then?"

"And then? At the same time, I am also the grandson of the emperor of the Huang Empire where you are currently."

"Emperor, Emperor's grandson?!"

After hearing the introduction to stargazing, Adam and Xiao Te couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

"But aren't you a woman? Why are you called the emperor's grandson? Normally, shouldn't you be a princess?"

Adam asked, confused.

"What a narrow-minded view, Mr. Assassin. In the Huang Empire, even if a woman is an heir, she is the emperor's grandson."

After hearing Guanxing's explanation, Adam and Xiaote couldn't help but look at each other.

Although it still felt strange, neither of them had any intention of continuing to argue.

After all, in this worldview, nothing seems impossible.

After all, even famous people like Einstein and Tesla are actually women.

"So? You're the emperor's grandson, why are you being hunted?"

Adam wondered again.

Since he was the emperor's grandson, there should be many guards around him, right? But at this moment, he didn't see any guards around him. Could he have been killed by an assassin?

"As for this question, let's not discuss it for now. Since you want to know about the area, then let me, the grandson of the emperor, introduce it to you. What do you think? Consider it a thank you for saving me."

Hearing Guanxing's words, Adam and Xiaote looked puzzled again.

Why is this person suddenly so easy to talk to? What's going on?

For some reason, Adam always felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in the eyes of the stargazer in front of him.

"This kind of thing..."

"Okay, we agreed."

Just when Xiao Te wanted to refuse, she didn't expect that Adam actually agreed to the condition of stargazing.

"Why?" Xiao Te couldn't understand Adam's behavior at all.

This person clearly saw it just now, so many people in black were chasing Theresa, there must be something wrong!

But Adam's expression of "I'm very interested" made Xiao Te not know how to stop this person.

Chapter 394: The Crown Prince and the Strange Beast

In the evening forest, the leaves trembled slightly, and the breeze caressed Adam's cheek. The silent nature exuded a mysterious charm, with only a bonfire burning, emitting warm light into the dark forest.

Adam sat by the campfire, his figure ablaze in the flames. Lost in his thoughts, he held a sharp fish knife in his hand, preparing a fish he had just caught from the sea. Its flesh was bright red and springy, its golden fat dripping onto the fire.

The dancing shadows of the flames danced on Adam's face, reflecting his furrowed brow and deep eyes.

After grilling the fish in his hand, Adam took a big bite of the grilled fish and finished the whole fish in just a few bites.

"Gudu~"

At this time, Guanxing looked at the grilled fish in Adam's hand and couldn't help swallowing.

It seemed that because he had not eaten for a long time, Guanxing looked at the grilled fish in Adam's hand with a longing look in his eyes.

"If you're hungry, why not just eat a little?"

Adam simply said this to her regarding the subconscious action of stargazing.

"Hmph, this kind of poisoned grilled fish is better left for you to eat, Mr. Assassin."

Although he really wanted to eat the grilled fish in Adam's hand, Guanxing still spoke stubbornly.

"Oh? Really? Then forget it."

As for Guanxing still claiming he was an assassin and suspecting the food was poisoned, Adam didn't want to force an explanation. Let her think whatever she wanted. After all, he wasn't the one starving.

"Gududu~"

Just as Adam picked up another grilled fish, Guanxing couldn't help but start drooling.

She looked at the grilled fish, and a drop of saliva began to flow from the corner of her mouth. This scene was like the aroma of tempting food lingering at the tip of her nose, making her unable to resist.

In the past, Guanxing wouldn't even glance at such crudely prepared grilled fish. As the former crown prince, she enjoyed all kinds of exquisite cuisine and had long since looked down upon ordinary food. But unfortunately, after escaping from the imperial city, she was forced to live a life of exile and never had the chance to have a proper meal again.

Her once-proud status was now a fleeting memory. Her stomach had long been empty, and every breath seemed to mock her emptiness. Now, this ordinary grilled fish had become her hope.

She swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the fish as if it were the most delicious delicacy in the world, her hands trembling as if she couldn't wait to taste it.

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing the aroma of grilled fish into the air. The aroma was like the fragrance of a garden, and it made her feel very happy.

She closed her eyes and imagined the bite of grilled fish in her mouth. She could feel the freshness of the fish, and how delicious it must have been. She could almost feel the delicate texture of the fish dancing on her tongue, as if it were telling her the story of the delicacy.

Just when Guanxing was about to faint from hunger, a dark shadow appeared in front of her.

"Yes, eat something."

At this moment, Adam had unexpectedly come to Guanxing and handed her a grilled fish.

"Yes, but..."

"Don't worry, I've bitten it, it's not poisonous."

When Guanxing heard what Adam said, he saw a small tooth mark on the back of the grilled fish.

After falling here, Guanxing couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

It was obvious that I didn't trust the other party, but in the end I was given a way out by the other party.

"Thank you, thank you."

Guanxing thanked Adam shyly, and then began to eat voraciously.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to pass out here. After all, it would be very troublesome for us if you starved to death here."

"Yes, is that so?"

At this time, Guanxing wolfed down a grilled fish, and then he picked up another one and started to eat it. This time, he didn't care whether the fish was poisonous or not.

“Is this fish really that delicious?”

Looking at Guanxing wolfing down the food, Xiaote couldn't help but start complaining. Is it really necessary to eat so much?

"Well, it tastes terrible."

To be honest, Stargazing had never eaten anything so disgusting.

Although there was no seasoning or anything because there was nothing around, why is it that part of it is overcooked and the other part is not cooked at all?

"Mr. Assassin, you rarely cooked before, right?"

Guanxing complained to Adam, saying that the food was so unpalatable.

"Is that so? It really seems like I haven't done this in a long time."

"Yeah, after all, you used to either eat what Mei and the others made, or just eat fast food."

Xiao Te was very aware that Adam had not cooked for a long time.

"But this smell is very familiar. It reminds me of... my grandfather."

When mentioning his grandfather, Guanxing obviously began to feel sad.

"Your grandfather? Is he the emperor of this country?"

Xiao Te still remembered at this time that Guanxing was the grandson of the emperor of this country. In that case, her grandfather must be the emperor.

But what Adam was thinking at this moment was that the grandfather who was gazing at the stars might look like that guy Otto.

"Well, after all, my grandfather used to take me out for picnics. Even though his cooking was terrible, he really enjoyed making this kind of food."

When he said this, Guanxing's loneliness became more obvious.

"Is your grandfather dead?"

There seems to be no need to speculate about this matter. After all, Guanxing's expression has already explained it all very well.

"Well, he's passed away. But... he died for this country, for saving the people. He has always been my idol. He fought those strange beasts until the very last moment!"

When Guanxing said this, his expression became obviously excited.

"Exotic beast?"
