After a long silence, Ming Li withdrew her gaze, completely ignoring the little tail following behind her, and headed east.
The little crow stood still for a moment, then flapped its wings and followed.
Two days later, Ming Li sat sideways on Lu Lu’s back, legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from her lips, looking exceptionally relaxed.
Wait! A cigarette?!
“Host, where did you get that cigarette?”
The system stared intently at the cigarette in Ming Li’s mouth, utterly bewildered.
Ming Li calmly exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at the system, and parted her thin lips, “Guess.”
The system, “……”
After a long silence, the system cautiously spoke, “Host, our current identity is a princess……” So, could you perhaps not be so nonchalant? Could you pay a little attention to your image?
Hearing the system’s words, Ming Li raised an eyebrow, “So what? What’s wrong with being a princess? Can’t princesses smoke? Who made that rule? I’ll go take care of him.”
The system, “……” Forget it, it’s hopeless.
Night passed quickly. The sun chased away the moon and hung in the blue sky.
At this moment, Ming Li looked at the wide river, over thirty meters across, and raised an eyebrow. After a moment’s thought, Ming Li calmly snapped her fingers.
The next second, an ice bridge formed on the surging river.
“Let’s go.”
Hearing Ming Li’s words, Lu Lu shook its head and stepped onto the ice bridge with complete trust.
Midway across, a water dragon suddenly emerged from the river and coiled around Lu Lu, pulling it into the water.
Ming Li, who had swiftly dodged the water dragon,’s eyes grew cold. Just as she was about to stir up some trouble, a whirlpool appeared in the center of the river, and soon after, something green from head to tail emerged.
Ming Li frowned, instinctively asking, “Where did this water ghost come from?”
“……”
“Bold! I am the River God! How dare you show disrespect!”
Hearing the creature before her actually speak, Ming Li narrowed her eyes dangerously. The next second, a large iron hammer was smashed towards it, simply and crudely knocking the self-proclaimed River God into the river, her movements fluid and incredibly elegant.
After a short while, the creature emerged from the river again, its head adorned with water weeds. It looked at Ming Li as if she were insane, “What are you doing!” Acting on impulse without reason, is there any justice left?
Ming Li’s voice was very cold. Her expressionless face spoke, “Give me back my horse.”
Hearing this, the ‘River God’s’ eyes under the water weeds darted around. Suddenly, he wore a meaningful smile, “Alright, I’ll return it to you now.”
The next second, three horses of different colors appeared before Ming Li.
The ‘River God’ stroked his beard, his voice full of temptation, and asked, “This beautiful maiden, did you lose a golden horse? Or a silver horse? Or perhaps, a wooden horse?”
Ming Li, “Heh heh……”
With a cold laugh, Ming Li swung her hammer at the ‘River God’ again.
“Bang——”
The large iron hammer landed squarely on the ‘River God,’ sending him plummeting into the river once more.
‘River God’, “……”
When the ‘River God’ surfaced again, Ming Li hammered him again, until he was swollen into a ball. Only then did Ming Li stop.
‘River God’, “……” Insane human, ahhh!
Seeing the girl raise the large iron hammer again, the ‘River God’ instinctively shivered and quickly said, “I’ll give it! I’ll give it! I’ll hand over that horse right now!”
