The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

"Otherwise, we should go back to the inn." Dongfang Xiao said, "Qingwu and the others will be worried if the two of us have been out for so long."

Dong Anchen answered, as if he had just remembered: "Yes! At that time, I said I was looking for Xiaoxiao, but Qingwu was still waiting for news at the inn."

Jiutang was a little surprised: "Qingwu is here too? And...them? Who are they?"

Dongfang Xiao nodded: "Yes, Sister Ninth, we came here to practice, and we happened to bring Qingwu with us. The dean said that it might not be safe on the road, so he asked Li Wei to follow us. By the way, that Li Wei, Sister Ninth, you Do you still have an impression?"

"Is that the one from Liang Yu?" Jiu Tang's mind flashed to the side of Li Wei when he first met him at Yin Zhu Academy.

At that time, they had just finished training, and their bodies were in tatters, but the young man was still high-spirited and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

"Then...are you guys not staying at the Princess Mansion tonight?" Seeing that a few of them wanted to leave, Li Xue stood up and tried to persuade them to stay.

Several people's eyes were focused on Jiu Tang's face, waiting for her to make up her mind.

Jiu Tang stood up and said, "I'll bother the Second Princess some other time. Let's go back today and come back to see the Queen tomorrow morning."

The three of them stood up and left, and Jiu Tang added: "The princess has just returned to her body, so it's better to have a good night's rest first to recuperate."

Li Xue bit her lip, thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay, please be careful on the road."

The three of them left the princess mansion.

Dongfang Xiao first picked up Zhuzhu who was following behind: "Long time no see, Zhuzhu seems to be a little fatter."

Jiutang smiled: "Zhuzhu followed me around, but I didn't expect to gain some weight. Maybe it's because I'm prone to getting fat by nature."

Hearing Jiutang say that it was naturally fat, Zhuzhu felt a little aggrieved. She covered her ears with her paws and rubbed against Dongfang Xiao's arms.

Jiu Tang looked the two of them up and down: "It seems that you two are doing well in the academy? Your cultivation has actually increased so much."

Although these two people are a little embarrassed now, they are in really good condition. In less than two months, they have improved a lot. Generally speaking, even if someone with good talent reaches the integration stage, it will take at least a year to progress to a large level.

"Thanks to Teacher Mu." Dong Anchen scratched his head, shivering as if recalling something terrible, "Hmm... But, the big devil is really hard to evaluate."

Seeing Jiutang tilting his head with interest, Dongfang Xiao smiled:

"Since you disappeared, if the dean hadn't said you were okay, some of us - especially Dong Anchen, he couldn't help but run out to find you. Although I mainly learn puppetry from Teacher Suyue, occasionally I will also go to Teacher Mu’s place to have a look.”

Dongfang Xiao said, glanced at Dong Anchen, and his tone seemed to be teasing:

"Perhaps he was stimulated. At that time, he said that if he came to find you, Teacher Mu gave him a beating, saying that he was too weak and would die if he went out. He could only become stronger so as not to hold you back. Then he trained with you for two months. It’s as if he’s dying, and he works the hardest among people in the [-]s.”

"what!"

Dong Anchen's face turned red and he interrupted hastily: "What?"

Then he glanced at Jiu Tang guiltily: "I was thinking that I had fallen behind a lot before. I studied with Teacher Mu for a while, and when we meet again, I will be able to regain my position as the eldest brother!"

Jiutang didn't refute, just followed what he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I know, you don't care about me at all."

Dong Anchen was stunned, lowered his head and muttered: "That's not true..."

Jiu Tang didn't know what this guy was thinking. Sometimes he was awkward and a little pretentious: "Let's compete some other time? How about I give you a chance?"

"I'm..."

"You are a high-level Xinxing!" Jiu Tang received it with a smile, "The training results are really good, you are one level higher than me. You can't beat me, right?"

"Of course not! I will definitely do it with one move! Just..."

"Stop bragging." Dongfang Xiao didn't believe him at all, "What kind of strength do you have that you don't have points for? Don't forget that Sister Ninth just defeated more than a dozen monks at the Golden Core Stage. Don't say that you are just higher than Sister Ninth A small level, even if it is two levels higher, may not be Ninth Sister’s opponent.”

"You!" Dong Anchen wasn't angry at all. He didn't forget to praise himself despite Dongfang Xiaozhi's blow, "Huh, even if I can't beat him, it's good to have such a courageous spirit to challenge!"

The three laughed together.

The streets of the Imperial City were deserted at night, except for the occasional barking of dogs from various houses, mixed with the rustling of leaves falling to the ground. The moon jumped out of the clouds again, and the soft moonlight spread on the earth, stretching the shadows of the three people very long...

The three of them walked for about half an hour, and finally the outline of an inn appeared in front of them, gradually becoming clearer.

Dongfang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and tapped his shoulders tiredly: "We're finally here."

The location of this inn is far away from the core of Dijing City, in a somewhat remote location.

Looking at the old inn in front of him, Jiu Tang couldn't help but ask: "Why did you choose this place? It's too far."

From a distance, you can see traces of the plaque being corroded by wind and frost, and even the door is in tatters. Not to mention preventing thieves, it is estimated that a slightly stronger wind will blow the door apart. It is completely tattered. to a decorative effect.

"There's nothing we can do, brother. This is a second-class country, and it's extremely expensive to stay here for one night. In addition, a lot of women came here for some reason a few days ago, and there are no rooms in the inns in the city. We've been looking for it for a long time. , I just found two here, and the prices are pretty good.”

Dong Anyen said this and touched his shriveled wallet distressedly - he had paid for all the housing money in the past few days. I originally thought that Li Wei, who came from a first-class country, could spend some money, but I didn't expect that boy's pockets were cleaner than his face. He was a complete pauper, and I couldn't bear to look at him.

Jiu Tang's eyebrows skipped a beat, almost forgetting that they didn't have much money. Although I had saved some before, in this second-class country with extremely high prices, the crystal stones stolen from the fourth-class country were simply not worth mentioning.

"If we hadn't found Sister Ninth today, the four of us would have been sleeping on the streets."

Dongfang Xiao patted his chest: "It's okay, it's okay."

The three of them walked a little further and saw a small figure squatting under the corner of the inn's door, leaning against the door and huddled in the darkness of the corner.

"Qing Wu?" Jiu Tang saw the figure with sharp eyes. Although he couldn't see the face, but based on the intuition of this body, the small figure was definitely Qing Wu.

As if sensing Jiu Tang's voice, the little figure raised his head. When he saw the three people coming, his eyes lit up and he quickly got up and ran towards this side.

Followed by a jumping bird.

"Miss! Is it really you?"
