Chapter 317: Affection: Nan Feiling and Dian Wei

"What, how could you all do this!!!!"

Inside the palace of the Gu Lei Kingdom, a violent roar suddenly erupted this day.

That sound was filled with unwillingness and Anger.

"What has happened to Princess Nan Feiling? Is she taking the blame for the Crown Prince again, and then getting lectured by the King?" the palace maids whispered to each other; this Princess was mischievous and cute, and had always been fearless.

The only weakness in her life was her own younger brother, Nan Feihuang.

Since she was small, she had often taken the blame for her brother, only to be spanked by Nan Tianchen.

But this wailing seemed different from when she was usually disciplined by family law.

Anyone could hear the sorrow in that tone.

"Alright, Xiaoling, don't be angry. Didn't I not go either?" Ye Lingling gently stroked Nan Feiling's back to soothe her.

Meng Yiran chimed in from the side, "That's right, Princess. Look, my master didn't take me either, so don't be angry anymore."

Ever since Ye Lingling and Meng Yiran joined the Gu Lei Kingdom, they had entered Nan Feihuang's small circle and become close friends with Nan Feiling and Lv Lingqi.

The two of them comforted Nan Feiling together, but looking at her pouting little face, one could tell she had no intention of letting her anger go.

"Sister Lingling, Sister Yiran, you are different. I grew up with my brother and the others; we never separated for anything. But this time, defeating the Haotian Douluo, and my brother absorbing the soul rings and soul bones of two Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts—such a fun thing, and they didn't take me! This was a grand scene rarely seen in a century," Nan Feiling wiped away her tears.

That feeling of grievance was as if Nan Feihuang had taken friends to see a celebrity concert but left her behind.

This was also because she had been protected too well since childhood; otherwise, how could she not feel awe toward such a battlefield? Looking out that day, everyone there possessed Title-level combat power.

Nan Feihuang was also doing it for her safety; after all, she did not have Xun Yu's Formation, nor did she have the super combat power of Lv Lingqi and Dian Wei.

Nan Feiling raised her head and looked at the group, her gaze locking onto Dian Wei. Others were one thing, but this Han Han actually dared to lie to her.

"Dian Hanhan, I ask you, who has taken the best care of you for over a year?"

"It is you, Princess Nan Feiling."

"Good, then I ask you again, when you were hungry, who personally went into the kitchen to make spicy rabbit heads for you to eat?"

"It is you, Princess Nan Feiling."

"Who, when you were practicing martial arts, spared no effort to help you train with her own earth dragon soul skill, and who opened up wind-assisted support for you when you were fighting at the front?"

"It is still you, Princess Nan Feiling."

Because of his intelligence issues, Dian Wei was extremely strong in battle, but other aspects were hard to describe. When they were out gaining experience, Nan Feiling handled everything other than fighting.

Their year-plus of being together could be described in one sentence: she took care of Dian Wei, and Dian Wei protected her.

Because of Nan Feihuang, Nan Feiling had actually loved taking care of others since she was small, which gave her the feeling of being a big sister. Watching the people she cared for grow up made her feel gratified and gave her a sense of accomplishment. The person she took care of most was, of course, Feihuang, as he was her own younger brother, followed by Dian Wei, Lingqi, and Xun Yu.

But as for Xun Yu, that guy's intelligence didn't need anyone's care; he could play everyone in the palm of his hand in minutes. Nan Feiling was actually a bit afraid of him, fearing that if he sold her off, she might still be counting the money for him.

And Lv Lingqi was her sister-in-law, who was already taken care of by her brother, so she didn't need to overstep.

That left only Dian Wei. She took care of him, and he protected her. Toward this Han Han who had low intelligence but possessed a Pure Heart and super strength, Nan Feiling had long since developed a different kind of affection.

"Han Han, you have a conscience. Since that's the case, then in this world, who is the person you should be most grateful to and listen to the most?" Nan Feiling looked at Dian Wei confidently, waiting for him to say her name.

Unfortunately, Dian Wei was a blockhead; he said without hesitation, "It is my Lord."

"You!!!" Nan Feiling was so angry she was fuming. After all, she had taken care of him for over a year, and it meant nothing? Did he have to answer so decisively?

Even hesitating for a second would have counted as respect for her.

"Pfft!"

Ye Lingling and Meng Yiran couldn't help but laugh out loud, then subconsciously covered their mouths. Who here didn't know Dian Wei's personality? His loyalty to Nan Feihuang had reached an off-the-charts level.

As long as Nan Feihuang gave an order, he would probably chop up his own father and mother without hesitation, so why argue with him?

"Jerk, then go spend your whole life with my brother." Having said that, Nan Feiling ran out crying.

Dian Wei scratched his head in confusion, "That's right, I was already prepared to be loyal to my Lord for my whole life."

"Sigh, such a young girl's heart, but unfortunately, she met a steel... no, a straight man who could even break steel," Xun Yu shook his head helplessly.

Their whole family—Lord Nan Feihuang, Lingqi, and himself—all had a place to belong on this continent, but this Han Han, who knows when he will finally open his mind.

It seemed he would have to lend a helping hand; actually, the method was very simple.

"E Lai, the Lord has an order, receive it."

"Yes, please convey it, Strategist." Dian Wei immediately stood solemnly in front of Xun Yu. Many of Feihuang's orders were conveyed by Xun Yu, so he didn't find anything strange about it.

"The Lord has ordered that after you return, you are to properly soothe Princess Nan Feiling and not let her cry, so now, chase after her immediately," Xun Yu said.

"Uh... Yes!" Although Dian Wei didn't know why this order was so strange, as long as it was Nan Feihuang's order, he never hesitated.

He immediately took long strides and chased after Nan Feiling.

"Xun Wenruo, you actually dare to fake my husband's order?" Lv Lingqi looked at Xun Yu in shock. Wasn't this deceiving Dian Wei? She didn't remember her husband giving such an order the day they left.

Xun Yu smiled slightly, "Hehe, wanting this Han Han to open his mind on his own is a matter for the next life. Even if we tried to persuade him, it would be useless. But as long as it is the Lord's military order, he obeys it without fail. Isn't this more useful than any other method?"

"They will definitely thank me in the future."

Nan Feiling ran to the back garden alone, but before she could even cry, Dian Wei had already arrived behind her.

Although she ran first, with Dian Wei's Chase Tiger Across the Ravine, even Nan Feihuang couldn't beat his straight-line running speed.

"Princess, don't cry!" Dian Wei couldn't say any sweet words; this was the most direct thing he could say.

But for Nan Feiling, this was enough. Knowing Dian Wei, she didn't expect or care for those flowery words, "Hmph, you're lucky you know to come over, but you aren't that smart. Xun Yu taught you, didn't he?"

Dian Wei nodded honestly.

"It seems that guy Xun Yu isn't bad. Very well, you apologize to this Princess now, and I will forgive you," Nan Feiling said magnanimously.

Dian Wei said three words like a Han Han, "I'm sorry!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feiling immediately beamed with joy. This simple Princess was actually very easy to coax.

It was said correctly; these two were the type who would be sold by Xun Yu and still help him count the money.
