Chapter 7: Teasing the Princess

The little princess was both shy and angry, her eyes brimming with tears

"It's so noisy. If you keep being this loud, I can't guarantee what I might do." Chen Nan glanced at the little princess's prominent chest.

At the moment when Yang Chong pierced through two guards with the light arrow, he arrived beside the Third Prince. He lifted the severely injured Third Prince into his arms, and at the same time, the nearly devoid of golden halo withered branch instantly sank into the shaft of the Ren Sword, shattering into pieces

Having said that, he sat up from the ground and embraced the little princess, lying down together on the ground

Chen Nan... Chen Gongzi, please let me go... Wuwu... The little princess began to cry loudly in grievance. She was the most beloved daughter of the Emperor of the Chu Kingdom, and had never been so humble before. The more she cried, the sadder she became, and the more she cried, the more aggrieved she felt. Her tears flowed like pearls that had broken free from their string, unstoppable.

The little princess said pitifully: "Young Master Chen... Brother Chen... I was wrong, please forgive me, let me go, sob..."

Chen Nan, you must think this through. The one you intend to kill is a prince of a nation. If you kill me, you will have offended the entire Baiyue Kingdom. Can you single-handedly contend with a whole country? Although the world is vast, there may no longer be a place for you to reside in the future. " The Third Prince's tone softened, and he continued, "If you are willing to submit to me, not only will I overlook your disrespectful actions today, but I will also ensure your rise to prominence, granting you high office and abundant wealth from now on.

The wind has not yet risen, the rain has not yet fallen, the sky has not yet darkened, and in the south of Chen, pleasant dreams come one after another, with a hint of a smile at the corner of the mouth

Wow, ancient giants! Not only did I see flying dragons, but I also encountered ancient giants. This trip was truly worthwhile

"Why can't I express my opinion? You have spat so much on my chest that I am almost drowned."

Hmph, such piercing eyes

Chen Nan lay on the little princess's lap and let out a sigh, saying: "I'm almost exhausted, sigh! Do you still have the right to command me, little devil?"

Ah... scoundrel, filthy thief, get lost... hurry and get away..." the little princess exclaimed repeatedly

The Third Prince, enraged, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, causing Yang Chong to break out in a cold sweat

A brilliant light flashed from the waist of the Third Prince, as a one-foot-long short sword radiating dazzling brilliance charged towards the golden light

The roar of the giant reverberated through the air like thunder, and with just three strides, he caught up to them.

Although Chen Zhan's words were not fully expressed, his intentions were clear. From that point on, Chen Nan diligently practiced and, by the age of sixteen, finally became the "first among his peers." However, after turning sixteen, his cultivation regressed instead of progressing, and he fell into a low point in his life

Firing two arrows in quick succession had nearly left Chen Nan exhausted. Although these two arrows had alleviated the immediate threat to his life, they had not resolved the crisis he faced at that moment. Given his level of skill, he could still barely manage to shoot one more arrow, but there were six other individuals present besides him; which one should he target?

Chen Nan reached out and pulled the little princess from the nearby branch, wrapping one hand tightly around her waist, and whispered, "He is coming soon. If you want to scream, be prepared. I am already ready to throw you out."

If I don't hold you tightly, it would be strange if you don't fall. Then, if you end up hurting yourself, how will you compete with the Third Prince?

Gold, silver, and jewels are mere external possessions; what use do I have for them? As for beautiful women, why should I seek far when I can have what is near? Hehe... Chen Nan laughed with ill intent, deciding to play the role of a villain to the end

At noon, Chen Nan awoke from his slumber. A ray of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, casting a warm glow upon him, making him feel exceptionally comfortable and at ease

You shameless ... ... despicable ... ... get lost, you disgrace, you filthy thief ... ...

Chen Nandao: "Do not speak anymore, let us hide here and wait for him to pass before we move. " He looked at the little princess's cunning eyes and said lightly: "If you want to alert that big fellow, feel free to shout later, but I will throw you at his feet at the first opportunity."

Little devil, stop pretending. Let me tell you the truth: ever since I caught you, I never intended to let you go

"I dare you to do something about it," Chen Nan said as he stood up, simultaneously lifting the little princess in his arms

Find a picturesque place with clear mountains and waters to live in seclusion, and then we will hold our wedding ceremony" Chen Nan said with a smile

Haha, your innocent demeanor is truly adorable. If you never reveal your devilish nature and always remain this way, anyone would cherish you dearly.

The little princess was so furious that she was almost driven mad, cursing, "You devil."

The midday sun blazed fiercely, and the weather was exceptionally hot. The little princess, feeling extremely uncomfortable as she was carried on Chen Nan's shoulder, angrily exclaimed, "Where on earth are you taking me, you madman? Put me down at once."

Every time the withered branch changes direction, it sends shockwaves through those present; a mere small segment of the branch feels as heavy as Mount Tai in their eyes

The giant had been walking in the open, but as it passed by their location, its nose suddenly twitched and it headed straight towards the forest where they were.

The young girl was filled with anger, completely shedding her earlier appearance of fragility

Ah... you..." The princess exclaimed in shock as her thigh was attacked, clearly not expecting Chen Nan's rapid change.

Do you take me for a three-year-old child? If I let you go today, do not speak of high positions and great wealth in the future; I fear you may not even have a complete corpse left. I detest being threatened by others; today, I shall shoot you, you despicable prince.

The little princess immediately stopped crying in fright, a crystal tear hanging from her long eyelashes, her face marked with tear stains, looking utterly pitiful, resembling a delicate little angel.

Chen Nan finally aimed the withered branch at the Third Prince, Ren Jian. Ren Jian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure

"Haha, I am the devil, and you are a little demon. Aren't we a match made in heaven? Truly, it is fate that brings us together from a thousand miles apart!" As he spoke, Chen Nan took the little princess's right hand in his, playing with her delicate jade-like fingers.

Boom, boom, boom...

The little princess blinked her eyes, fully awakening. The intimate position of the two made her feel extremely embarrassed, but her expression quickly turned cold.

Chen Nan sighed softly, realizing she was still just a little girl. He said gently, "Sigh, don't cry anymore." But inadvertently, he suddenly noticed a glimmer of joy in the little princess's eyes. In that moment, he came to a realization and gave the little princess's thigh a firm pat, saying, "You almost tricked me."

The little princess spoke in a low and humble tone, using all her persuasive words, but upon seeing Chen Nan's resolute expression, her face turned cold. Her tone suddenly changed as she sternly said: "You are bold; do you know who you are speaking to? I am the little princess of the State of Chu, and you are merely a commoner of my state. Are you not afraid of bringing about your own demise? Are you not afraid that my father, the emperor, will execute your entire clan?"

Do not cry, do not cry anymore

In order for you to gradually learn to be obedient

The Third Prince's expression changed drastically as he suddenly pulled a nearby guard in front of him. Blood splattered, and the guard fell into a pool of blood with a look of deep resentment on his face. Although the golden light dimmed significantly after piercing through the guard's chest, its speed remained unabated as it continued to pursue the Third Prince.

The little princess laughed heartily and said: "Haha... I'm dying of laughter, the scoundrel prince has a flower blooming on his backside, haha..."

"Nonsense, that is dew," the little princess said, her face turning red as she awkwardly defended herself

He was indeed discovered by him. Chen Nan picked up the little witch and jumped down from the tree, swiftly navigating through the woods and the books.

Chen Nan quietly waited for her to finish scolding, then said: "After ten or eight years, when we bring a large group of children to meet your father, I think he won't kill me then."

Wuwu... the little princess ignored him, and her cries grew louder.

You... please, I beg you, let me go

rumbling

The little princess was filled with excitement, seemingly forgetting that she had lost her freedom

The towering ancient giant approached them from a distance, coming within a dozen meters. The giant stood an impressive thirty meters tall, with body hair that was thick and long, resembling that of a beast. Aside from its extraordinary height and dense body hair, the giant's appearance was no different from that of an ordinary person

The little princess laughed and said, "Haha, Renjian 'scoundrel'"

You should give up; I will never let you go

At that moment, Chen Nan's second arrow was released again, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, and a dazzling golden light. Another guard pursuing Chen Nan fell into a pool of blood, his face filled with disbelief and terror. The light arrow had exploded on his chest, creating a blood hole the size of a bowl, with blood gushing out and a mist of blood spreading above his corpse

I am quite lazy and do not like to hold an official position, and moreover, I do not believe your words. Just now, the Third Prince attempted to scheme against me, and I shot him in the backside with an arrow. You wouldn't want to receive a similar arrow, would you?" Chen Nan extended his hand and slapped the little princess on her ample backside with a loud smack. After having been humiliated earlier, he felt a sense of relief by now embarrassing the little princess.

Even demons have their shy moments, what a strange thing. I remember that at the beginning, you were determined to personally carry out the punishment on me, yet now you have suddenly transformed into a bashful little girl

Boldly! Scoundrel, filthy thief, let me go...

The little princess's face was cold, and she said coldly: "Chennan, you must think carefully. Under heaven, there is no land that does not belong to the king; on the shores of the earth, there are no subjects who are not of the king. Today, you have already offended the third prince of the Baiyue Kingdom. If you show me any further disrespect, you will have offended two nations, and there will be no place for you to stand in this world."

You are about to become my wife soon, is it not permissible for a husband to point out his wife's shortcomings? Furthermore, do not always refer to yourself as 'this princess'; I will no longer call you 'little demon.' I shall simply call you Yuer.

"Put you back, and I too will surely meet my end. Alas, it seems I must find a secluded place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in seclusion. However, having a princess of a nation by my side is somewhat acceptable. At that time, we can have a whole bunch of children. Hmm, upon reflection, such a life doesn't seem too bad." Chen Nan deliberately displayed a look of longing.

Chen Nan understood that flying swords are closely related to cultivators; if a flying sword is damaged, the cultivator will not die but will be severely injured.

The little princess had exhausted her energy in the recent fierce battle, and at this moment, her waist ached and her legs felt weak. After just standing up and running a few steps, she fell to the ground. Seeing the Third Prince and Yang Chong successfully escape, she was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears

Ah, even now you still call me a scoundrel on the left and a filthy thief on the right. I truly do not know whether you are pleading with me or trying to anger me

After listening, the little princess turned pale and said with a trembling voice: "You are shameless, vulgar, despicable..."

Roar

Chen Nan did not expect that his pretentious actions would lead to such an effect. The third prince of the Baiyue Kingdom fled in panic like a lost dog, while the little demon princess of the Chu Kingdom was so frightened that she was in tears, looking pitiful. He did not dare to become complacent; he placed a dry branch on the bowstring and, with great effort, approached the little princess with the Hou Yi bow. He aimed to immobilize her before she could discern his true intentions.

The little princess scolded, "Scoundrel, vile thief, how I conduct myself is not for you to criticize."

Ah... scoundrel... filthy thief... bastard..." The little princess screamed in fright, but her voice gradually diminished. At this moment, both she and Tushuxin were terrified to the extreme, truly fearing that Chen Nan might harbor malicious thoughts

My goodness! I hit the jackpot, encountering an ancient giant. Isn't there only a one in ten thousand chance of seeing such a creature in these mountains? Chen Nan felt an overwhelming headache

Chen Nan once again placed a piece of dry branch on the bowstring, causing everyone present to change color. No one knew whose life this arrow would take, as an originally inconspicuous minor character became the master of everyone's fate

Chen Nan hoisted the little princess onto his shoulders and, taking up the Hou Yi bow, strode purposefully toward the edge of the forest

In his youth, Chen Nan had an extraordinary yearning for the path of cultivation. However, a profound remark from his father, Chen Zhan, dispelled his thoughts. Chen Zhan said: "Cultivating martial arts may not be inferior to cultivating the Dao. If you step into the realm of true martial arts and comprehend the essence of martial arts, you will discover that the paths of cultivation ultimately converge. The utmost realms of martial arts and the utmost realms of the Dao coincide at a single point"

"Brother Chen Nan, please spare me. What do you want? I can ask Father to bestow upon you whatever you desire, including a great deal of gold, silver, and jewels, as well as many beautiful women." After saying this, the little princess looked at him with a face full of hope

The resplendent flying sword collided with the golden light, and a sound of metal clashing echoed through the air. The brilliance of the short sword diminished, breaking into several segments that fell to the ground. The Third Prince's body trembled, and he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his face turning extremely pale

As she contemplated her strategies, she continuously gathered the residual vital energy within her to strike at the sealed acupoints. However, after repeated attempts, she was unable to loosen the sealed acupoints even slightly, and in the end, she became disheartened

The little demon said, "Take out what is in your sleeve, or I will shoot an arrow."

You... hum, I will just pretend that a cockroach has crawled onto my hand, just to feel disgusted for a moment. " After saying this, the little princess closed her eyes and ignored him.

Chen Nan smiled and said, "Alright, since that's the case, you can sleep holding onto the cockroach."

This damned fellow, even while sleeping, smiles so lewdly and shamelessly, a disgrace, a scoundrel, a shameless wretch... the little princess cursed him silently once more. Gradually, she could no longer hold on; after a series of battles and a night without sleep, she was even more exhausted than Chen Nan. Slowly, she closed her eyes and fell asleep on Chen Nan's chest

"Flying sword! Could he be a cultivator?" Chen Nan exclaimed

"You must be dreaming, you damned fellow!" the little princess scolded angrily

Are you afraid? Then I won't do it. The little devil has finally revealed its true nature, hasn't it

As Chen Nan approached her step by step, the little princess was terrified, her face pale and her eyes filled with tears. She had not forgotten how she had treated Chen Nan before.

She glanced at Chen Nan and then said, "Don't think you can act without anyone knowing. The Third Prince, Ren Jian, has already escaped. If I cannot return safely to the palace, Ren Jian will definitely expose you. At that time, everything he has done will surely be blamed on you. When that happens, you... heh heh."

Chen Nandao: "You are not fierce, you are very kind? The kindness almost subjected me to castration. Moreover, every day when overly excited, you have to find me to 'express' your inner 'joy', often leaving me unable to get up. Are all these things done out of necessity?"

"You certainly did not make this trip in vain; the most important thing is that you found a good husband." With this remark, Chen Nan brought the little princess back to reality

The Third Prince, Ren Jian, was overwhelmed by a strong sense of unease; he never expected that this prisoner would actually unseal the Hou Yi bow.

Chennan Dao: "You little devil, you sleep so soundly!"

Chen Nan finally struggled to walk in front of the little princess, quickly using a dry branch to tap on her body a few times, sealing off seven or eight major acupoints on the little princess.

Chen Nan took a deep breath, exerting all his strength to unleash the third arrow. A faint golden light seemed to descend like divine punishment from the heavenly realm, rumbling thunder as it shot swiftly towards the Ren Sword.

Why don't you simply seal my mute point

"Haha, the mission is accomplished," Chen Nan said with a triumphant laugh, and then his legs went weak and he collapsed.

Ah... the Third Prince Renjian let out a cry of agony, and then furiously cursed: "Yang Chong, you fool, I have spat out so much blood, and my clothes are still drenched in it. You... why didn't you just tear off a piece? You..."

Trees six to seven meters high fell to the ground like straw, trampled by the giant. A large tree toppled forward towards the two, prompting the little princess to exclaim in alarm: "You fool, you big idiot, run quickly, he is catching up, ah... hurry up, you idiot..."

Ah... you..." The little princess was filled with shame and anger, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Little demon, stop pretending. How could a demon become an angel? All along this journey, you have already exposed your demonic nature. Thinking back on your actions, I feel as if I am in a nightmare. You haven't forgotten what you have done, have you? It is too late to play the victim now; I have long seen through your true nature.

At this moment, the little princess was still soundly asleep, her chin resting on his shoulder, causing him some discomfort, yet he did not move, quietly admiring the little princess's serene sleeping posture. Suddenly, the little princess mumbled: "Scoundrel, filthy thief... Don't run away... I will kill you..."

When

Ah... let go, take your dirty hands away, ah... you rogue, scoundrel..." The little princess was filled with shame and anger, glaring fiercely at Chen Nan. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite Chen Nan immediately.

Chen Nan hurriedly set the little princess down from his shoulder, and then lifted her up to fly up a large tree. The little princess showed no sign of fear, her big eyes curiously watching the various wild animals fleeing in the opposite direction. At that moment, the ground suddenly trembled, and the mountains and forests began to sway as well. In the distance, a tall figure was approaching.

Yang Chong exclaimed: "Your Highness, I have heard from my master that an arrow shot from a divine bow will not cease to fall until it has touched the blood of its target. Your Highness has offended."

Young Master Chen... you have misunderstood me. In fact, I am very kind and not fierce at all. Last time... last time, who told you to peek at me while I was bathing? I am a princess, and of course, I must maintain the dignity of a princess. That was something I had to do out of necessity.

Watching Chen Nan, who was sound asleep, the little princess felt an intense hatred. Chen Nan had his arms wrapped around her soft waist, pressing her ample bosom tightly against his chest. Such intimate contact drove the little princess to the brink of madness. Feeling Chen Nan's body heat, the little princess repeatedly cursed: "Let the wind rise, let the clouds surge, blow down the big trees and crush him; let it rain, let there be thunder, strike him down with lightning; let it be dark, let the stars appear, let a meteor crash into him..."

You ... ...

Chen Nan had exhausted all his strength and no longer had the energy to shoot a fourth arrow. He felt a wave of insecurity wash over him. Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to gather a bit of strength, standing up and pretending to walk a few steps away to pick up some dry branches.

Chen Nan is now utterly exhausted, resting his head on the little princess's lap while saying irritating things: "Ah, how comfortable! Is the leg of a royal princess truly extraordinary? It calms the mind and nurtures the spirit; could it even treat high blood pressure? Oh, it seems I have misspoken."

Chen Nan was almost laughing out loud; he had not expected the little demon to have such a weak side. But then he began to wonder: earlier, when facing the Third Prince Ren Jian, she had not shown a trace of fear. Am I more terrifying than Ren Jian? Hmm, no, that can't be right

Chen Nan muttered: "Even in dreams, you want to kill me; you are truly fierce."

"You scoundrel... if... you let me go, I... will keep my word, I... will definitely reward you... with many gifts," the little princess choked out.

The little princess helplessly threw the short sword hidden in her sleeve onto the ground

Before long, the little princess's long eyelashes fluttered, and she awoke, though her eyes were still bleary and somewhat dazed

A strong, pungent odor emanated from the giant, nearly causing Chen Nan and the little princess to retch. Chen Nan hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve. Noticing the little princess's pained yet hopeful gaze, he freed the hand that was wrapped around her waist and placed it over her mouth and nose.

Every accomplished cultivator possesses several treasures closely tied to their life, primarily in the form of flying swords. Cultivators can not only control these flying swords to kill enemies from a hundred paces away, but upon reaching the ultimate realm, they can also ride the sword to traverse the skies and the earth. However, it is rare to find those who have achieved success in cultivation, and those who reach the ultimate realm are even more scarce.

The Third Prince, Yang Chong, and the little princess were all filled with excitement. Yang Chong carried the Third Prince Renjian on his back and turned to flee. At that moment, his lightness skill was sufficient to be classified at the master level, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into the depths of the forest

"How this princess is, does not concern you to comment on"

"Scoundrel... let me go. If you release me, I will persuade my father, the Emperor, to grant you a high official position."

At first, the little princess kept cursing Chen Nan, but when she saw that he had actually fallen asleep while holding her, she quickly stopped her insults. After all, a sleeping enemy is much safer than a waking one. The little princess was unsure of her feelings; she had never imagined lying in the arms of a strange man. Usually, she was the one who played tricks on others, yet today she found herself so easily taken advantage of by a seemingly mediocre scoundrel. She continuously pondered her strategies, ranging from seduction to threats, and then to allure, but each plan was quickly dismissed, as this guy before her seemed impervious to both soft and hard tactics.

She continuously pondered her strategies, ranging from seduction to threats, and then to allure, but each plan was quickly dismissed, as this guy before her seemed impervious to both soft and hard tactics.

At that moment, the wild beasts in the mountains suddenly became alarmed, and various small animals hidden in the forest rushed out, fleeing into the distance, followed by various large carnivores, the running beasts stirring up a wave of foul wind

The little princess said with hatred: "Take your dirty hands away, or I will really call for help. Don't think I won't dare to."

The astonishing change left everyone present in shock. The little princess's eyes widened in disbelief as she murmured, "How is this possible? Didn't the old man say that the Hou Yi bow can only be used once a year? I have already used it once, and even the old man cannot draw it again. This scoundrel actually..."

Ah... you shameless person, let me down quickly, I am feeling extremely uncomfortable

The ancient giant approached step by step, causing the entire forest to sway rhythmically, with violent tremors scattering the fallen leaves in the woods

"You wretched creature, if you don't speak, no one will consider you a mute," the little princess said angrily

Chen Nan held the soft body of the little princess, gazing at her exquisite beauty that resembled jade. He felt his heart racing; it was undeniable that the little princess possessed a beauty that could topple cities and nations. He had pulled back Hou Yi three times, exhausting all his strength, and having not slept a wink all night, waves of fatigue washed over him. Inhaling the little princess's intoxicating fragrance, he felt his body becoming light and gradually drifted into slumber

"If you cry again, I will immediately strip you of your clothes," Chen Nan said, tugging at the little princess's sleeve.

Although the Golden Light Arrow had dimmed considerably, it still pursued the Third Prince. At this moment, two figures stood in front of the Third Prince, both of whom were guards thrown over after being incapacitated by the guard captain Yang Chong.

How bold! You are truly disgusting. Is "Yuer" a name that someone like you, a commoner, should be using?" the little princess scolded

"You... you let go." The little princess, both shy and angry, had a face flushed with color

In an instant, Chen Nan understood that the Third Prince was indeed a cultivator, but he had only just begun his journey. It is said that the flying swords of those who have achieved mastery in cultivation are only the size of a palm and are concealed within their bodies

Scoundrel ... ... filthy thief ... ... you ... ... don't come over here.
