"Daughter, I think it's enough here that you're driving me" Feng Yu said as he stopped his footsteps.
"If I don't get you to your house, I'm afraid he'll kill you." Ying Xie's daughter worried.
"He wouldn't dare kill me princess. You don't have to worry about me. You just have to worry about yourself. How should you explain all this to the emperor, your father. Especially the crown prince Li Haoxi. He must be very heartbroken right now." said Feng Yu as he slowly withdrew his hand.
Princess Ying Xie who saw Feng Yu withdraw her hand and let go of her hand grip, made Princess Ying Xie slightly feel disappointed in her heart. Seeing the disappointed expression on Ying Xie's daughter's face, Feng Yu realized that he had made a big mistake. He turned towards Feng Yue.
"Yue, wait for me there. I'll catch up later. There's something I want to finish with Princess Ying Xie."
"Good brother. Careful."
Feng Yue immediately walked in the direction her brother pointed at. Seeing that his sister had left him, Feng Yu immediately turned his head towards Ying Xie's daughter who was still bowing her face.
"Daughter." said Feng Yu.
"Ah, yes. Excuse me. What was? Where's your sister?!" princess Ying Xie asked as she looked to the right and to the left.
"I told him to wait for me somewhere. I'll be right after her."
"Why did you tell him to leave?!"
"Because there's something I want to say and I'm straightening it out for you."
"About what?!"
"About the two of us and crown prince Li Haoxi, your future husband."
"Oh, I guess something really important."
"Daughter, do you think this matter is unimportant?!"
"That's not what I meant. I know what you're worried about. And, I won't force you to accept my feelings either." Princess Ying Xie explained.
"What do you mean?!"
"From today on, I'm not going after you. I realize, the more I force you, the more you stay away from me. The more I hold you, the more you want to get away from me. So, I decided. I will not pursue you and force my feelings on you. So, can you not hate me?!" said Princess Ying Xie with a face full of hope.
"Huff, princess, I never hated anyone. Even people who hurt me."
"Why?! Why don't you hate them?!"
"Because to me, a person who likes you, no matter how the whole world looks at you one eye, he will still like you and choose to stand by you forever."
"Then, what about the people who hate you?!"
"Different from those who like you. The one who hates you will still hate you. No matter how good you treat him, he will stick to his hatred." Feng Yu explained with a serious face.
"So that's it."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Feng Yu, can we be friends?!" princess Ying Xie asked as she extended her right hand to shake hands with Feng Yu.
Seeing princess Ying Xie extend her right hand to shake hands, Feng Yu greeted her by shaking her hand.
"Of course the princess. We're friends now."
"Thank you" said Ying Xie's daughter as she let go of her handshake, as did Feng Yu who pulled her hand.
"Either. Princess Ying Xie, do I need to take you to the palace?!"
"no need. The palace guards have come to pick me up." said Princess Ying Xie while turning in the opposite direction.
There was the sound of footsteps and the sound of a horse carriage behind him. Feng Yu turned his head because he heard a noise from behind. He saw two palace guards riding in the front, while the other two palace guards, in the back, escorting the carriage originating in the middle row. The guards stopped right in front of Princess Ying Xie. All of the horsemen including the bodyguards who were on the horse carriage, all got down and walked over to Ying Xie's daughter. Everyone gave their regards and respect to Ying Xie's daughter.
"Greetings princess."
"mmmmmmm. Awake."
"Thank you princess."
"Feng Yu, I'm leaving first. Take care of yourself."
"Yes. Thank you for your attention to me."
"Oh yeah, before I go. I want to ask you something. Are you going to help me?!"
"When it's just the two of us, can you call my name?!" the whisper of Ying Xie's daughter in Feng Yu's ear.
"Sorry princess, that sounds very disrespectful" Feng Yu replied as he took a step back backwards.
"I asked for it. Are you ready?!"
"Alright, if that's the princess's wish."
"thank you. Can I hear it now?!"
"Sorry princess, that's..."
Before finishing her words, Princess Ying walked up to her."
"You don't have to worry. They are trained guards."
"Ying Xie, be careful" Feng Yu said in a slightly soft tone.
Hearing her name being called by the man she loved so much, made Princess Ying Xie's face turn red. He was very happy to hear Feng Yu's soft voice calling out his name.
"Thank you." said Ying Xie's daughter while smiling at him.
Princess Ying Xie immediately resigned herself and started walking towards the horse carriage. He entered the horse-drawn carriage and was followed by the palace guards who immediately rode on horseback.
"Yahiyatt!"
The bodyguards started to race their horses and started to leave Feng Yu alone there. Feng Yu saw that Ying Xie's daughter who was inside the horse carriage, had moved away from him.
[Tig!]
[Congratulations! The host has completed the second mission namely, getting the heart of a woman. You are entitled to +10,000 points and immediately claim your reward!]
"Wahhhh! Thanks to God! I finally completed the second mission. Wait, why am I supposed to complete this mission? Not that I rejected it subtly. Ahh no, forget it. What matters is success! Ahaha! Let's press the claim button." murmured Feng Yu while touching the system screen in the air and pressed the claim button.
[Congratulations! Host has claimed the reward of the second mission of +10,000 points. Total points earned today is + 11,200 points. Complete the third mission, as well as the last mission. In order for the host to return to the origin world immediately!]
"Huh??! Any more missions?! System, if I may know, this third mission is my last mission?! That means, I need to finish this mission immediately and I can return to my home world?!"
[Yes!]
"Why haven't you opened this third mission, system?!"
[Host asked to be patient immediately! We'll open the mission in a minute. Please be patient!]
"Huff, hopefully there's no bug. When I get home, I will see what items can be exchanged for my points. Power, weapons or something. Ah so impatient." murmured Feng Yu.
He immediately caught up with Feng Yue, his sister. He saw his sister playing the weeds in her hands while sitting on a fallen tree trunk. Hearing the clattering of one's footsteps, Feng Yue immediately turned her head. He saw that his brother had returned and was walking towards him.
"Sister, are you back?! Where's Ying Xie's daughter?!"
"He was picked up by the palace guards. We better get out of here too." Feng Yu asked.
"Good."
The two walked together hand in hand and left the place. On the other hand, inside the horse carriage, Princess Ying Xie smiled alone. He recalled the moment Feng Yu called his name gently. At that moment, his face turned red.
"Feng Yu, it's okay if I can't have you. At least I can be friends with you. Maybe with us friends, you can slowly accept my feelings." muttered Ying Xie's daughter with a smile with a reddened face.
Unwittingly by the palace guards, on top of the tree there was someone wearing all-black clothes with a black mask covering part of his face was watching them. Soon enough, the man left like a shadow. In the prince's palace, crown prince Li Haoxi hit the table very hard, after hearing the report from his shadow bodyguards. He looked extremely angry when he heard Princess Ying Xie ask Feng Yu to call out her name.
"Dammit!!! How dare he tease my future wife! Even Ying Xie's daughter never asked me to call her name! Tsk, what filthy way did he use to lure my future wife!!"
Suddenly from outside came the sound of one of the guards knocking on the door.
"Come in!"
Krekkk (the sound of the door opening from the outside.)
"Hamba saluted His Highness crown prince Li Haoxi."
"Wakeup. What's up?"
"The emperor calls you and asks you to meet him immediately in the palace study hall."
