Chapter 1521: 739 The God of Death has arrived!
The sky gradually darkened.
Two little beans hid in a cool cave.
The cave entrance was not deep, just enough for two little beans to conceal themselves.
The Little Princess had eaten the last candied fruit and the second-to-last piece of osmanthus candy.
The two little beans’ clothes were torn and their faces were dirty; where could one see the semblance of noble Clan School students?
If they walked onto the Avenue, they were likely to be mistaken for little vagrants from who knows where.
The two little beans sat with their backs against the wall.
Xiao Jingkong sat on the outside, shielding the Little Princess with his body on the inside.
"Are you still hungry?" Xiao Jingkong asked her.
The Little Princess nodded then quickly shook her head and swallowed her saliva, saying, "Not hungry."
As soon as her words fell, her stomach started growling.
She covered her little belly and whispered, "I didn’t tell it to growl; it did it on its own."
Within a single day, the Little Princess had been kidnapped, locked in a dark room, fled with her companion, and hidden in this dark and damp cave; she was no longer the Little Princess of the morning.
She was a Little Princess who could endure hunger!
Xiao Jingkong took out the last piece of candy, broke off half for her, and carefully pocketed the other half.
"There are fruits in that tree over there, I’ll go pick some," Xiao Jingkong said, glancing at the piece of candy in the Little Princess’s hand, "By the time you finish this candy, I’ll be back."
"Mhm," the Little Princess obediently nodded, clutching his little hand, "You must come back."
"I will."
Xiao Jingkong slipped out to pick fruits.
Using his excellent tree-climbing skills, he swiftly ascended the tree, finding the fruits fuller and brighter than they looked from afar.
Picking them one by one was too slow, so he embraced a branch and shook it fiercely, causing the fruits to fall onto the ground with a rustling sound.
He climbed down, scooped them up with his shirt, and filled it with a heavy load of fruit.
He panted as he ran back.
However, when he returned to the cave, he found that the Little Princess inside was gone.
His little brow furrowed.
At that moment, the piercing scream of the Little Princess came from not far to the east, "Let go of me!"
"Over there!"
Xiao Jingkong decisively dropped the fruits he had carried all the way and sprinted toward the direction of the voice!
In a glade where the trees shaded from the sun, two bodyguards engaged in a fierce fight.
The first to find the Little Princess and carry her out of the cave was a bodyguard from the Chen Family.
But the Chen Family bodyguard hadn’t gone far before he ran into a bodyguard from the Dong Family.
The Dong Family bodyguard attempted to snatch the Little Princess, and the Chen Family bodyguard naturally wasn’t going to let him succeed easily.
However, since he was holding the Little Princess, his movements were restricted, and after a dozen or so moves, he began to struggle.
But he was not willing to hand over the Little Princess just like that.
A leg sweep from the Dong Family bodyguard came, and the Chen Family bodyguard failed to dodge in time, getting tripped and knocked to the ground hard!
The Little Princess he was holding was thrown out of his arms. freёnovelkiss.com
"Ah—"
The Little Princess screamed!
The Dong Family bodyguard leaped to grab her.
Unexpectedly, just when his hand was about to catch the Little Princess, a bodyguard from the Du Family had seemingly appeared out of nowhere!
The Du Family bodyguard, too, had rushed over upon hearing the Little Princess’s scream, and luckily for him, amidst the clash of symbols from the Dong and Chen families, he had the advantage.
He had secretly timed it just right, lunging forward before the Dong Family bodyguard and catching the Little Princess.
The Dong Family bodyguard missed his grab and slapped the ground with his palm, using the force to leap up and steady himself.
The Dong Family bodyguard scolded, "That was rather underhanded of you!"
The Du Family bodyguard snorted coldly, "We’re all grabbing; don’t pretend you’re so noble!"
The Little Princess, tossed back and forth between them, turned pale from fright, her big eyes brimming with tears, yet stubbornly holding them back.
She was a Little Elder.
She could not cry.
The Du Family bodyguard coaxed softly, "Do not be afraid, Your Highness, I will escort you back to the palace immediately."
The Dong Family bodyguard seized the moment to placate, "Little Princess, don’t listen to him! He’s a bad man!"
The Du Family bodyguard looked disdainfully toward him, "And as if you could be any better!"
The bodyguard from the Chen Family who had been swept to the ground got up.
Seeing him charge at the Du Family bodyguard, the Dong Family bodyguard refused to be outdone.
What was initially a duel between two had now turned into a three-way melee.
Actually, if it were just a battle between three men, it wouldn’t be too hard to handle; the difficulty lay in the fact that the Little Princess’s voice was so loud, attracting not just the Dong and Du families.
Before long, bodyguards from the Feng and Yang families also arrived at the scene, joining the struggle for the Little Princess.
The Little Princess was snatched back and forth, and the situation became so chaotic that someone let go, and she was flung out with force.
