“One of them is beautiful, while the other is handsome. They are a match made in heaven!”
The crowd’s words vaguely entered Lou Qianxue’s ears.
It immediately jolted her back to reality. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her mask.
It unbearably hurt.
Her gaze gradually turned cold. Whirling around, she walked toward Lou Xiaoxiao…
Suddenly!
“Royal- Royal Sister!” A surprised and delighted voice rang out!
“Royal Sister?”
These words shocked everyone. They could not understand what was going on. All they saw was the girl in the white dress staring at Third Prince with sparkling eyes.
“Third Royal brother! It’s you! Why are you here?”
“Third royal brother? Oh! I remember now! The princess! She’s the princess!”
“Oh, right! I also remember! She’s Princess Xue Qing! The most beautiful woman in the Imperial City, Princess Xue Qing! However, after reaching the marriageable age, she has always worn a white face veil. Hence, I couldn’t remember who she was just now!”
“Wow! So she’s Princess Xue Qing. Then… isn’t that man the soon-to-be prince of Tian Zhao?”
“How powerful! No wonder Princess Xue Qing is the most beautiful woman in the Imperial City. She can find herself such a powerful husband!”
“…” Lou Qianxue indifferently glanced at Princess Xue Qing. “So she’s a princess… No wonder she was so arrogant when we met before.”
When Lou Xiaoxiao took a closer look at Princess Xue Qing, she nervously inched closer to Lou Qianxue and whispered, “Qianxue! It’s her!”
“Yeah, I remember. She’s one of the two women we met when we arrived at Fengyang prefecture. We had killed the girl in the yellow dress, but she had escaped using the space inscription. I didn’t expect to meet her again at the Imperial City.”
Lou Xiaoxiao carefully glanced at Lou Qianxue. “What’s her relationship with Young Master Dan Taiyuan? Actually, I’ve seen her before at Third Prince’s birthday banquet. She doesn’t seem to remember me anymore. Otherwise, I’d have been dead by now.”
“She doesn’t remember you?” Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. “Then, forget it.”
After speaking, she paused for a while, then continued in an icy tone, “As for her relationship with Dan Taiyuan, I’m not sure.”
Lou Xiaoxiao shot a glance at Princess Xue Qing, who was blushing with a shy expression. She was implicitly acknowledging that Dan Taiyuan was her fiancé. Lou Xiaoxiao thought of saying something, but she closed her mouth and stayed silent. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Should we look for the dungeon first?”
Lou Qianxue nodded.
Both of them walked out…
However, Third Prince stared at Dan Taiyuan with sparkling eyes. He asked Princess Xue Qing, “Xue Qing, is this your fiancé? Quick, introduce him to me. How may I address him?”
“Um, he’s Mr. Bai.” Princess Xue Qing softly said after taking a pause.
“Mr. Bai.” Third Prince suppressed his excitement and sincerely introduced himself, “I’m Gong Sunliang, the Third Prince of Tian Zhao Empire. I’m happy to meet you! Would you be willing to come to my mansion with Xue Qing?”
Dan Taiyuan emotionlessly stood there as if he could not hear Princess Xue Qing and Third Prince’s conversation.
His icy-cold and merciless eyes continued staring at someone.
Whenever that person moved, his gaze would follow.
“Well…”
Everyone exchanged glances. “Huh? This soon-to-be prince seems a bit odd.”
“He’s quite interested in Jade-Masked Blast, huh?”
When Princess Xue Qing heard that, her expression changed as she briskly walked toward Dan Taiyuan.
She wanted to tug his sleeve. However, when she remembered how she had been sent flying away when she had touched him before, she resisted the urge. Hence, she said with a smile, “Mr. Bai, my Third Brother is greeting you.”
After saying those words, she mischievously stuck out her tongue at Third Prince. “Third Brother, Mr. Bai has a very distant personality. He’s not very good at socializing with others. Please don’t blame him for being discourteous…”
However…
At the next moment.
“Move aside,” Dan Taiyuan expressionlessly commanded.
Then, he brushed past Princess Xue Qing and rushed toward Lou Qianxue.
