Chapter 2671: The Princess Acts

Although Liu Yunyao is a princess and also takes part in the power struggle, when no one is around she and the maid are like sisters, often chatting about private matters together, which also helps relieve some pressure.

The maid is named Hong ling; she grew up with Liu Yunyao since childhood, and the two are extremely close, sharing everything.

However, at this moment, Ye Liuyun's tent became lively.

Some young Term (generic, exclude) heard that Ye Liuyun had returned, and they all ran to his tent's outside, chatting casually when they met each other.

Their conversation was nothing more than complaining that the men they encountered lacked strength and saying they were single.

But Ye Liuyun was only focused on cultivation, too lazy to pay them any attention.

Lin Xiaoxiao, upon seeing this, became jealous and directly released her brown lion to guard in front of Ye Liuyun's tent.

This move startled Ye Liuyun, who hurried out to investigate, not knowing what she intended to do.

The brown lion's imposing presence startled everyone, and even the princess sent a maid over to check.

"What are you trying to do?"

After stepping out, Ye Liuyun asked Lin Xiaoxiao.

The brown lion, knowing Ye Liuyun's power, dared not provoke him and, upon seeing him emerge, restrained itself a bit.

"I'm just helping guard you so that idle bystanders outside don't disturb your cultivation!"

Lin Xiaoxiao explained to Ye Liuyun.

He was speechless; if she hadn't released the brown lion to scare him, he wouldn't have been interrupted.

Although Ye Liuyun said nothing, those Term (generic, exclude) were not pleased.

"Xiaoxiao, with those words you're classifying us as idle bystanders?"

"Exactly! I think you're the one who disturbed Master Ye's cultivation; otherwise we wouldn't have seen him appear earlier."

"Indeed, Master Ye tamed the fierce beast for you, not to let you casually release it to scare people!"

The Term (generic, exclude) chattered angrily, berating Lin Xiaoxiao, who was no match for them and was left speechless by their barrage.

"Enough, everyone, let's all go back and rest!"

Ye Liuyun had no choice but to speak up to help Lin Xiaoxiao out of the corner.

The Term (generic, exclude) saw Ye Liuyun speak, stopped paying attention to Lin Xiaoxiao, and instead started to flirt with Ye Liuyun again.

"The sky is so beautiful, how can you keep cultivating? How about we have a bonfire party, drink wine and grill meat?"

"Yes, yes, we can even dance and see whose moves are the best..."

The Term (generic, exclude) suggested in chorus; no one wanted to rest, all wanted Ye Liuyun to stay with them.

Ye Liuyun found himself awkwardly surrounded by a group of women, feeling very helpless.

The princess's maid, after gathering information, returned to report the situation to the princess.

"What is his attitude?"

The princess asked the maid.

"Master Ye clearly doesn't want to go.

He is surrounded by those women and looks extremely awkward."

The maid who went out to investigate replied.

Hong ling, seeing this, winked at Liu Yunyao: "Aren't you going to quickly help the Prince Consort get out of this?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

In front of the other maids, Liu Yunyao told her not to speak recklessly.

"Be more proactive! The women out there will devour a man without spitting out a bone! Be careful not to be taken advantage of first!"

Hong ling reminded Liu Yunyao.

Liu Yunyao gave her a cold stare, but then thought she should indeed help Ye Liuyun get rid of those women's entanglements.

So she sent Hong ling to find Ye Liuyun.

"Go invite him! Say it's to thank him for rescuing the princess's maid.

I'll disguise myself as a maid and receive him."

"Alright!"

Hong ling agreed with a nod and immediately ran out.

Liu Yunyao immediately changed back into a maid's clothes, had a cabin prepared, and got ready to receive Ye Liuyun.

By now Ye Liuyun was already surrounded by the Term (generic, exclude); no matter how he explained or said he wanted to return to cultivation, those women wouldn't let him go.

Lin Xiaoxiao was pushed to the side by them, fuming yet helpless.

Hong ling, seeing Ye Liuyun surrounded with a frowning, awkward expression, couldn't help but snicker.

Then she composed herself, cleared her throat, and loudly said, "Master Ye, the princess requests you, saying she wants to thank you for rescuing her maid!"

At that moment, the Term (generic, exclude) all showed faces of disappointment.

But since the princess is inviting him, they cannot refuse to let Ye Liuyun go.

Yet Ye Liuyun was astonished inside, "Isn't this maid the same princess from before?"

"What's going on?"

She looked at Hong ling, opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

"Master Ye?"

Hong ling also saw Ye Liuyun's surprised expression, thought he was surprised by the princess's invitation, so she wasn't too shocked and called out to him.

"Oh!"

Ye Liuyun only then recovered, replied affirmatively, and followed Hong ling toward Liu Yunyao's Warship.

"How should I address you, miss?"

Ye Liuyun asked Hong ling as they walked.

"I am called Hong ling, the personal maid attending the princess!"

Hong ling replied.

But seeing Ye Liuyun's doubtful, thoughtful expression, she also asked him, "Master Ye, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a bit strange."

Ye Liuyun said offhandedly.

"What's strange?"

Hong ling also asked Ye Liuyun.

"The young lady's cultivation level and aura seem the same as the princess's!"

Ye Liuyun said tentatively.

Hong ling was startled upon hearing that, but thinking that Ye Liuyun would find out sooner or later, she didn't mind it.

She just brushed it off with the prepared words: "Yes, the princess and we few maidservants share the same cultivation level."

Ye Liuyun didn't ask further.

His Golden Pupil won't be mistaken.

"In that case, the princess must be someone else."

"The previous princess was an impostor maid! Anyway, she wore a mask, so no one could recognize her."

"As for an ordinary maid in daily life, nobody would pay attention to her."

Out of curiosity, before entering Liu Yunyao's warship, Ye Liuyun also scanned the interior, but found that there was no princess inside the warship; only the princess's clothing was placed there.

"Perhaps the princess never came at all!"

He guessed to himself.

After Hong ling brought Ye Liuyun onto the warship, a maid came and led him to the cabin that Liu Yunyao had prepared in advance.

Tea and snacks had already been prepared, and Liu Yunyao was waiting for Ye Liuyun.

Upon seeing Liu Yunyao, Ye Liuyun also immediately relaxed.

"Do I count as having lifted the siege for you, so I can offset some of the protection fee I owe you?"

Liu Yunyao also started joking with Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, I really ought to thank you; those women are really troublesome."

"How about this: I'll wipe off ten Divine Crystals for you!"

Ye Liuyun also said with a smile.

Without waiting for Liu Yunyao to offer a seat, he directly sat opposite her.

"You're really generous!"

Liu Yunyao laughed and retorted, tossing a Storage Ring to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun scanned with his Divine Sense and found those Divine Crystals that Liu Yunyao owed him.

He didn't bother to check, and directly stored them in his own Space World.

He also asked Liu Yunyao, "Did you summon me just to repay the debt?"

"What else?"

I was afraid you'd chase me to the Royal Palace to demand payment! You greedy sort might pull something like this!

Liu Yunyao laughed and began brewing tea for Ye Liuyun.
