Chapter 102: Casting Stones to Seek the Way

She truly lacked the confidence!

Not far away, hidden within the dense forest, a small white bee quietly perched on a vibrant green leaf.

Shortly after the two had left the cave, the little bee had already caught up to them.

At this very moment, the bee once again memorized their conversation and then relayed the message.

Taming a divine dragon or a phoenix as a beast companion for this worthless, ugly woman?

Far away, the bee’s master received the information it had transmitted.

The beautiful woman’s face soon twisted into a mocking smile.

Ha! This is nothing but a fool’s dream!

Just that worthless, ugly woman dares to think she can tame the proudest of the dragon or phoenix clans?!

She might as well be dreaming the impossible dream!

Yet...

A flicker of doubt soon appeared in the woman’s eyes.

But if Prince Nalan Di Jiu lends a hand, then perhaps it isn’t entirely impossible!

The Ninth Prince’s strength was profound and unfathomable. If he was confident enough to take this worthless, ugly woman to tame a divine dragon or phoenix as her beast companion, then...

Could it be that the Ninth Prince already had assured success in mind?

With this suspicion growing in her heart, the woman’s expression grew increasingly uneasy.

Her mind was restless, but Prince Nalan Di Jiu was such an enigmatic figure.

What kind of man he truly was, no one knew.

What his limits were, even fewer could say.

In any case, the Ninth Prince was certainly not as simple as he appeared in front of this worthless, ugly woman!

It was best not to risk it personally.

Better to test the waters cautiously.

With this thought, the woman’s mind finally settled on a good idea.

“Send someone to call Luoyan here!”

She spoke decisively, issuing the order to the maid waiting outside the door.

“Is the little fairy feeling tired?”

Nalan Di Jiu held Baili Tianchang’s hand as they walked steadily forward without hindrance. Having traveled quite a distance, he could no longer contain his concern and asked her gently.

“I’m not tired.”

Though this body’s constitution was not very strong, her will and soul remained as steadfast as ever. She felt no trace of weariness.

“If you’re tired, don’t force yourself. We can find a place to rest.”

Nalan Di Jiu still worriedly reminded her.

“Rest assured, I’m not one to say one thing and mean another.”

Baili Tianchang responded with a carefree tone, dismissing his concerns.

Nalan Di Jiu smiled happily.

His little fairy had a distinctive personality—open, honest, and straightforward. She never put on airs or pretended like other worldly women who played coy and affected manners.

So the two continued on their way for some distance.

By then, the sky had quietly darkened.

As night fell, Nalan Di Jiu suggested, “Let’s rest for the night. At dawn tomorrow, we’ll continue.”

“Alright.”

Baili Tianchang rubbed her stomach; she was indeed a bit hungry.

“As a prince, you probably don’t handle dinner preparations, right? So now you go hunting, and I’ll cook dinner.”

Baili Tianchang promptly began directing Nalan Di Jiu.

“You must wait here obediently and not leave.”

Nalan Di Jiu said with some worry.

“You go ahead; I certainly won’t leave.”
