Bai Hehuai: Does Your Highness have such a hobby?

We set off in the morning, rode horses across Longquan Mountain, and arrived in Quancheng after dark.

Ying Changqing could not travel overnight.

"Yes, sir, this way please."

"Um."

The garrison commander, accompanied by Ying Changqing, and the four of them quickly arrived at the largest inn in Quancheng.

Before Ying Changqing could dismount, the soldiers guarding the city ran into the inn and whispered a few words to the owner.

The innkeeper's expression immediately changed. He respectfully walked up to Ying Changqing and offered to lead the horse.

At this moment, the guard said, "Your Highness, the private room in the Tianzi Pavilion is on the second floor. The backyard is ready, and we will take good care of your warhorse."

Are you satisfied?

Ying Changqing dismounted and picked up Bai Hehuai, who was barefoot.

Seeing how thoughtfully the garrison commander arranged the accommodations, Ying Changqing understood his intention.

Ying Changqing said directly, "Very good. When I arrive at the Prince's Mansion and meet Xu Xiao, I will take good care of him."

The garrison commander immediately showed delight; he had been waiting respectfully for this promise.

"The young man before me is the Prince of Qin."

The commander denied his hesitation.

When they first met, he noticed that Ying Changqing had the air of someone in a high position, which could only be formed by someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

The garrison commander had met his prince's son, Xu Fengnian, but he thought the son's temperament was far inferior to that of the young man.

Therefore, even if the boy is not a prince of Qin, he must be a person of extremely high status.

A person of that status wouldn't deceive a lowly soldier.

If someone like that mentions him, he won't have to continue guarding this cold city.

Thinking of this, the garrison commander's fawning expression became even more pronounced.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

It's getting late.

Since Your Highness has given no further instructions, I will take my leave now and will not disturb Your Highness's rest any longer.

Okay, go down now.

Ying Changqing waved his hand, and the garrison commander bowed respectfully.

I took my leave.

If Your Highness has any needs, please give the order, and I will do my best to fulfill them.

After speaking, he looked at Nangong Pushe behind Ying Changqing and Bai Hehuai, who was being held by Ying Changqing, his eyes filled with envy.

The princes of the Qin Empire are indeed extraordinary.

The women around me are all stunning beauties I've never seen in my entire life, and there are two of them at once. It's truly enviable.

The garrison commander thought to himself as he turned to leave.

After the guard left, the innkeeper bowed and invited him in.

"Sir, would you like to have your meal first, or would you like to rest in your guest room?"

Ying Changqing glanced at Nangong Pushe, then at Bai Hehuai.

"Let's have our meal first."

The innkeeper immediately got to work, not daring to delay.

He led Ying Changqing to a private room on the second floor by the window, where the view of Longquan Mountain was visible.

The owner took out a white cloth and wiped the table clean, then asked Ying Changqing, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Ying Changqing asked Nangong, "You are the master of Liyang, what do you like?"

Nangong shook his head: "Your Highness can make the arrangements."

Nangong said, "I only practice martial arts, I don't know anything about food, as long as I can eat my fill, that's enough."

Bai Hehuai looked at Nangong in surprise upon hearing this.

She never imagined that this beautiful woman had such a difficult childhood.

But Bai Hehuai saw the look of happiness in Nangong's eyes when she looked at Ying Changqing, which showed that Ying Changqing treated her very well.

This made Bai Hehuai even more curious about what kind of person Ying Changqing really was.

Bai Hehuai was certain that Ying Changqing was not the treacherous, cunning, and despicable person the Dark River Organization described him to be.

Nangong Pushe looked somber. Ying Changqing noticed this and gently squeezed her hand to comfort her.

"With me here, all suffering will end."

"Yes, I believe in Your Highness."

Nangong Pushe nodded vigorously.

Ying Changqing smiled and turned to Bai Hehuai.

What would you like to eat?

"Ask me?"

Bai Hehuai opened his eyes wide, pointed at himself, and looked on in surprise.

"Who else is here besides you?"

Ying Changqing's calm tone left Bai Hehuai speechless for a moment.

She didn't expect Ying Changqing to ask her what she liked.

Osmanthus cake.

Bai Hehuai's voice was soft, hesitant, and lacked confidence.

In her eyes, she was just an insignificant person in Ying Changqing's mansion, not even as good as a servant.

Ying Changqing was a prince of the Qin Empire, wielding immense power and holding a prestigious position.

Such a person would never care about a woman who is not even as good as a servant.

Ying Changqing simply nodded slightly, then said to the shopkeeper, "Bring one serving of each of the best dishes in the shop."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that Ying Changqing was no longer speaking, the shopkeeper prepared to leave.

Bai Hehuai noticed that Ying Changqing hadn't mentioned osmanthus cake, and he was very disappointed.

"These nobles are always so arrogant, asking about other people's preferences but not caring about anything else. How annoying!"

"Next time I kill you, I'll definitely slash you a few more times, hmph!"

Bai Hehuai thought to himself.

But the next second, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Ying Changqing with surprise.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to leave, Ying Changqing suddenly spoke up: "Bring another serving of osmanthus cake for this young lady."

As they were talking, Bai Hehuai was specifically pointed out.

"Alright, I'll go and instruct the kitchen right away."

The boss agreed immediately and then waited a while.

Only after confirming that Ying Changqing would not order any more food did he turn and leave.

Bai Hehuai was very moved.

She never expected that someone like Ying Changqing would specifically ask her what she liked to eat and even have the boss prepare it.

But she was also very angry.

Ying Changqing paused deliberately, making her think he didn't care, and only spoke when she got angry.

"Since you haven't forgotten your family, I'll kill you with one blow, so you won't suffer."

After thinking it over in his heart, Bai Hehuai immediately pretended to be grateful to Ying Changqing.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ying Changqing ignored her.

Bai Hehuai thought he could finally eat after being hungry all day.

Suddenly, she shuddered.

Her long, slender, snow-white neck was held straight, and her ears were tinged with pink.

Ying Changqing reached out and grabbed her thigh, placing her leg on his own.

He gently stroked her leg with his fingertips, and finally held her foot in his hand.

Bai Hehuai looked up at Nangong Pushe, then glanced around.

With no one around and Nangong Pushe looking out the window not paying attention to her, she felt relieved.

Ying Changqing held her feet and massaged them.

Those who practice martial arts reach the Innate Realm where their bodies are free of impurities, and the Grandmaster Realm where their bodies are spotless.

"Even if you walk barefoot in the snow all day, you won't get dusty."

Ying Changqing played with it, thinking to himself.

A wisp of Yin-Yang energy flowed from Ying Changqing's fingertips into her body.

Ying Changqing used the Ten Blessings Soul-Capturing Technique.

Since the Ten Blessings Soul-Capturing Technique can erase memories, Ying Changqing decided to erase Su Muyu and Bai Hehuai's memories.

Ying Changqing was surprised after examining Bai Hehuai's memories of Su Muyu.

He originally thought Su Muyu and Bai Hehuai were a couple.

In reality, the two only had mutual attraction, but were far from being a couple, and had never even confessed their feelings.

Even more absurdly, they had only met once.

Bai Hehuai came to assassinate him entirely because she was a member of the Dark River organization, and carrying out the mission was her responsibility; it had nothing to do with Su Muyu.

After pondering for a while, Ying Changqing decided to preserve this memory.

It has no impact on the current situation.

They had only met once. To Su Muyu, Bai Hehuai was just a stranger with a special impression and whose name she knew.

Ying Changqing didn't understand why Su Muyu was so obsessed with Bai Hehuai; it might be a one-sided feeling on her part.

Bai Hehuai only felt pure curiosity towards Su Muyu, without any other feelings.

"There was no sadness in her eyes; I must have been mistaken."

Ying Changqing sighed and withdrew the ten blessings.

Bai Hehuai was unaware that Ying Changqing had used Yin-Yang techniques to access her memories.

She tried to break free from Ying Changqing's grasp, but he didn't respond, so she had to give up.

Ying Changqing kneaded her ankles and calves, making her feel thirsty.

"Eek—"

She let out a soft hum.

Upon hearing the sound, Nangong Pushe turned to look at Bai Hehuai.

They immediately realized something was wrong.
