Hearing the words of the border guard who seemed to disrespect his master the ladies-in-waiting growled.
"How dare you, who are just a lowly soldier, say impolitely to our princess" said a lady-in-waiting named Siau.
"I'm just saying what I should have said. There's nothing wrong with what I said." said the guard casually.
"You...."
"Enough Siau" said the princess named princess Lin Lin.
"But the princess,....."
"There's no point wasting energy talking to people like her" said Lin Lin's daughter before Siau had time to protest.
"Good princess." said Siau and finally they chose to wait in silence.
"Why are there so many princesses from other kingdoms here?" ask a princess to her servant.
"Hamba does not know the princess, let me find out first." said his servant.
"Did I miss the big news about the palace above the clouds or about Jin hu who was going to be my husband?" muttered the princess.
The princess is Kai rou ruan from Kai kingdom. Elder Fu did not invite him because he did not have access and did not dare to deal with the great Kai kingdom whose king was notoriously strong and sadistic.
After a while of waiting finally his servant who was looking for information came. Princess Rou ruan looked questioningly at the servant.
"An elder who was honored after the king of the cloud-topped palace named Elder Fu invited several princesses from several surrounding kingdoms to be chosen to be the future wife of the king." obviously the servant was without waiting for his master to ask.
"Badly, how could I who is a princess from a more powerful kingdom not accept that invitation?" asked Rou ruan's daughter furiously.
"Only I deserve to have a man as perfect as Jin hu" he said again.
"Tell them all to back off. For those who refuse, their kingdom will be faced with a war between the kingdom and our Kai kingdom" said Princess Rou ruan.
"This is not a good path princess" suggested an old woman next to the princess.
"What does Aunt Cuan mean?" asked Rou Ruan who had always heard the words of the old woman.
"If the princess casts them all out, then the people in the land above the clouds will think that the princess does not confidently compete with those who only come from that small kingdom." explained Cuan.
"Isn't the princess much more powerful and charming than all of them? Then let them realize for themselves that they do not deserve to compete with the princess when the princess is elected" he added.
"Well, you're the smartest Aunt Cuan. It's true what aunt said. I'm much more deserving of them so, I can get rid of them without any way that makes me look bad." said Princess Rou Ruan confidently.
During this time there were many applications to marry princess Rou ruan from the kings and Princes of various large kingdoms but she refused. Thinking of that, princess Rou ruan was confident that Jin hu would directly pick her when he saw her charms firsthand.
Princess Rou Ruan does have a beautiful face with a graceful appearance and high cultivation ability of course her status as a princess of a large kingdom makes many who want her to be a companion.
,"Why are they just waiting outside the border if they're invited?" ask princess Rou ruan.
"That's because the veil from the land over the clouds refuses to accept them all princesses." replied the servant earlier.
"The governor rejected them?" ask Princess Rou ruan.
"Don't call the leader over the clouds as king, emperor or prince because he doesn't like that. From the news I often heard about him, people would only call him noble lord Jin hu." explained aunt Cuan.
"Why is that?" ask princess Rou ruan.
"Hamba also doesn't know the reason for the princess." replied Aunt Cuan.
"We'd better find an inn near here. Because this will probably take a long time to wait for the top leader of the clouds to unscramble." Aunt Cuan suggested.
"It's going to be hard for us to find lodging around here Aunt Cuan" said the waiter.
"Why is it so hard for Nian?" ask aunt Cuan.
"There has not been a major incident that has caused the deaths of the entire male population in this border village. Survivors of the women and children chose to go elsewhere where their relatives were or find their fortune elsewhere. Even me and the princess almost fell victim to the incident." explained Nian the waiter.
"That was the first time I saw Jin hu's handsome face and it made me fall in love at first sight" said Princess Rou ruan as she smiled at Jin hu's handsome face.
The other princesses were also all confident of being able to conquer Jin hu's heart given that they also came from a sizable kingdom. They do not know the consequences they will face if in time they are given a way back and they still choose to move forward.

"Darling, aren't we going to the border this morning?" asked Ze, who was still lying in the arms of her faithful husband, holding her in bed.
"Yes, but it's not this early, dear." replied Jin hu.
"I'm hungry" Ze said.
"If this is another case. We need to wake up because I don't want my little wife getting any smaller if she doesn't eat on time. You also need nutritious food intake in order to immediately conceive our future child." said Jin hu who immediately rose from his sleep.
He even helped Ze by holding his wife to the bathroom and helped cleanse Ze's body without doing his favorite activity again considering the wife would be exhausted and would not be able to accompany him to the border.
Jin-hu also helps Ze put on his clothes without calling the waiter considering he is anti if any other woman enters his residence.
"Why don't I see grandma, mom, grandpa and dad?" asked Ze while in the banquet hall.
"They went to the rainbow hill while you were still asleep Madam" replied the fire snake.
"Why suddenly and not invite me?" ask Ze.
"Say they are tired of being in the palace. They knew the madam and master would head for the border so don't take the Madam." Liu yu replied.
"Oh, yes, that's it. Let's have breakfast." take Ze.
"We had breakfast with Jeong Nam's grandfather" Liu Yu said.
Finished breakfast Jin hu, Ze, the Fire Serpent, Liu yu along with the entourage of elder Fu and the palace higher-ups set off towards the border. As for Wen yuan, Ze forbade him to leave his wife during Sie li's pregnancy given Sie li's weak content according to Ze.
During their trip all the entourage of elder Fu and the ministers were quite careless to see Jin hu who was over-serving his wife. Jin hu didn't even ride a horse because Ze decided to take the carriage. Ze still wanted to settle for connecting his sleep and Jin hu certainly wouldn't mind that.
Jin Hu did use the carriage often but it was for a trip far enough but to just head to the border he preferred riding a horse normally. With that also they increasingly regard Ze as a spoiled wife and consider the story of Ze's strength as a false story.
