Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 498: Some missed opportunities, but they can still be made up after all

"I'm busy completing side quests!"

Bai Yue was muttering to herself when she saw Ming Jingxing and Shen Xingmian walking towards her side by side.

The setting sun stretched their shadows very long, making them look quite a match.

"Grandpa Ming, Grandma Shen, congratulations!"

She bowed to the two of them repeatedly, unable to hide the teasing in her tone.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"

Ming Jingxing frowned and said something reproachful.

"Xingmian and I are close friends now, but in the future..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the person next to him. The sound of "Xingmian" was so sticky and sweet that it could be stretched.

"Strange, why do I suddenly feel a little cold!"

Bai Yue shuddered, turned to Shen Xingmian and asked curiously.

"Grandma Shen, excuse me, where have you been all these years?"

Shen Xingmian seemed to suddenly remember this and slapped his forehead.

"Oh, I was so busy talking that I forgot to introduce myself. Actually, I'm from Baihua Country."

"Hundred Flower Country?"

Ming Jingxing's eyes widened and he cried out in surprise.

"Is it the current rule that people from Baihua Country can't come here?"

Shen Xingmian was shocked and looked innocent.

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Ming Jingxing instantly put on a fawning face, and the contempt he had shown when he was discussing the Hundred Flowers Kingdom with Bai Yue just now was long forgotten.

"The Hundred Flowers Kingdom is great! I heard that place is like a fairyland. I dream of going there!"

Shen Xingmian laughed when he heard it, and his eyes curved into crescents.

"Then when I return, can I take you with me? Our Hundred Flower Country is so beautiful. I guarantee you won't want to leave once you're here!"

"Okay! Wherever Xingmian wants to go, we'll go there!"

Ming Jingxing looked at her with eyes full of doting that seemed to overflow with tears.

"Ahem, Grandma Shen, since you are from Baihua Country, why did you come to the Wulin Alliance?"

Bai Yue was watching from the side and felt a pang of pain in her teeth, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"I'm here to find someone."

As soon as Shen Xingmian finished speaking, Ming Jingxing couldn't wait to pat his chest and make a promise.

"Looking for someone? Xingmian, tell me! No matter if it's Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Ermazi, I, Ming Jingxing, can find them for you!"

Shen Xingmian's eyes lit up and he excitedly took a half step forward.

"Really? I'm looking for someone named Fu Xiuyu. Brother Ming, do you know him?"

"Fu Xiuyu?"

Ming Jingxing stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

"That name sounds familiar! Oh, right, isn't he the grandson of that old son-in-law, Fu Wenzhu?"

He looked at Shen Xingmian with confidence.

"I know this kid!"

"That's great!"

Shen Xingmian couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Brother Ming, can you take me to find him? I went to Wangyou Valley before, but the people there said that he didn't know where he went to practice medicine and his return date was uncertain..."

"Xingmian, don't worry!"

Ming Jingxing couldn't bear to let his sweetheart worry, so he immediately agreed.

"I just met his grandfather a while ago. I found that old guy, but I'm worried that I can't find out the whereabouts of this kid?"

"Brother Ming, thank you!"

Shen Xingmian looked at him gratefully.

Ming Jingxing's old face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Xingmian, you're too polite. This is all my responsibility..."

"Hey, Grandpa Dog!"

Bai Yue finally couldn't help but speak out and even changed the way he addressed people.

"It's getting late, shouldn't we find a place to stay?"

"You little brat! What are you yelling about?"

Ming Jingxing's old face turned red and he yelled at Bai Yue.

"Oh, I just remembered someone made a bet with me. Whoever loses will..."

"Oh, my dear grandson!"

Ming Jingxing interrupted quickly, and the anger on his face instantly turned into a flattering smile.

"Grandpa was too loud just now. It's Grandpa's fault! Come on, Grandpa will take you to the biggest inn and the best room!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Shen Xingmian, fearing that the other party would become suspicious.

"Xingmian, how about I use Qinggong to take you there? It's very fast!"

Ming Jingxing rubbed his hands, his eyes full of anticipation, but he saw Shen Xingmian's figure flash and "whoosh" jump to the big tree next to him.

"Brother Ming, where are we going? You lead the way, I can keep up!"

She sat on a tree branch, laughing happily.

Ming Jingxing's face "drooped", like a punctured balloon, listless and lifeless.

"Grandpa Dog, I'm not good at Qinggong. How about you take me with you?"

Bai Yue came closer to him, holding back her laughter and speaking deliberately.

"Really? How can you hang around in the Wulin Alliance without some martial arts skills?"

As soon as Ming Jingxing finished speaking, Bai Yue immediately took his arm and begged.

"So, Grandpa Ming, please teach me martial arts! As long as I learn your Tianyi Sword Technique, I will be able to walk freely in the Wulin Alliance in the future, right?"

"Oh? You want to learn Tianyi Sword Technique?"

Ming Jingxing looked her up and down, then suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a wicked smile.

"Young Mo asked me to teach him, but it took me three months. If you want to learn..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Yue suddenly opened her mouth and shouted towards the tree.

"Grandma Shen! I want to tell you something—Grandpa Ming just mentioned the Hundred Flower Country..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Ming Jingxing quickly covered her mouth and begged for mercy in her ear.

"Little Ancestor, I'm afraid of you! Teach me, isn't it enough for me to teach you?"

Bai Yue curled her eyes proudly - as expected, men in love are all fools, no matter how old they are!

When Bai Yue followed Ming Jingxing and Shen Xingmian to the nearby town, it was already dark.

After the three of them settled down in the largest inn in town, Ming Jingxing, full of joy, took Shen Xingmian to the night market.

"Hey players!"

Xiao 1 was howling in Bai Yue’s mind.

"Everyone's been to a private world, and you're sitting here alone, slurping noodles. Don't you feel lonely and cold?"

"We have meat, soup, and noodles. What's cold?"

Bai Yue pushed the tenth empty bowl aside and was waving to the waiter to bring another bowl.

Ming Jingxing walked in with his hands full of gadgets, chatting and laughing with Shen Xingmian.

"Brother Ming, thank you."

Shen Xingmian was twisting a string of glass butterflies on her fingertips, smiling sweetly under the light.

"I haven't been to such a lively night market in a long time."

"Xingmian, if you like..."

Ming Jingxing's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and the honey in his words was almost dripping out.

"I'll be with you every day from now on..."

"Tsk, two old guys who are about to die, what are you doing hanging around here?"

Suddenly, a sneer came from the next table, and a man with a fat face pouted.

"This scene is really disgusting..."

Before he could finish his words, the man covered his hands and screamed.

"Ah—my hand! My hand!"

I saw a few bamboo sticks piercing his palm. Ming Jingxing stood there, his eyes as cold as ice.

"If you dare to say anything more, it will be your heads that will be poked through next time."

"Senior, please spare my life!"

The group of people were so scared that they crawled out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Ming..."

Ming Jingxing then turned around and met Shen Xingmian's wide-open eyes. The fierceness in his expression disappeared in an instant, and he was like a young boy who had been caught, stammering to explain.

"Xing, Xingmian, I just wanted to scare them, I didn't really mean to kill anyone... You, you don't have to be afraid..."

He scratched his head and ears as he spoke, looking like a young man who was afraid that his sweetheart would dislike him.
