A Female Emperor.
A child who travels alone

For a moment the three of them stared at each other in wonder. The two men were perplexed by Li Ying's presence which suddenly appeared between them, while Li Ying himself felt confused because these two people reacted as if from earlier he was invisible.

“Nak, why are you sitting here?” The man sitting next to her asked.

Hearing that, Li Ying frowned, then replied. “Before you guys came I was already sitting here. It is precisely you who are sitting on my desk all of a sudden!” Her speech.

Hearing this, the two men stared at each other. Then they looked back at Li Ying and watched the little girl from top to bottom. “It is fitting that I do not see him, he is very short and his body is blocked table!” Said the man.

Then the other person said. “This table is too high for him, maybe because of that he is invisible!” He said that added.

Hearing that, Li Ying smiled. But the smile on his face just looked like an annoyance. Not only are they sitting at people's desks carelessly, they are now also commenting on their height? He is still five years old, but in a few years he will definitely grow taller. To be honest sometimes Li Ying felt annoyed if there was someone talking about his physique. It was very sensitive, especially since she was reborn as a woman.

“Ah, then we're wrong. So are you waiting for your parents? Then we will go soon and look for another table!” Said the man in front of him.

But Li Ying, who heard that, let out a slow breath, then shook his head and said. “No need, you guys can sit here!” He paused, glancing at the crowded-looking surroundings. “This place is full, you will have trouble finding another seat. Besides I came alone, so the seat you're in is empty.” He said, who was now a little relaxed.

Hearing that, the two men smiled and chuckled slightly. “You hear? This kid speaks like an adult!” Said the man before him while continuing to chuckle softly.

While the man sitting on the other side now only smiled and nodded, again confirming every word that person said earlier. “Thank you, you seem very understanding, son!” Said the man.

Li Ying only nodded briefly. But if you think this table is too high for a child his age, maybe he will have a little trouble eating later. Noticing that, the man sitting before Li Ying called out to a servant. The waiter immediately approached their table, looking excited as if he was waiting for these two to order something.

“Can you get me a pad for this kid to sit on? This table is too high.” Said the man. The servant turned to Li Ying for a while, then smiled and nodded.

“So what do you want gentlemen order?” The waiter finally asked, waiting for an answer.

Both men ordered the menu, the same menu as chicken. While Li Ying was also not much different, he only said “Whatever is warm and fruitful!” No matter what menu is coming up. As long as it is 'warm and fruiting' he will be happy to eat it.

After receiving the servant's order to leave immediately, he did not need to record their order. All they order are just a few simple menus that are easy to remember, and the other one just says ‘Whatever is warm and berkuah’ the rest is up to you.

On the other hand the two people who were with Li Ying now chose to talk to him, seeming to chat with a resourceful little boy was more fun than discussing matters about work. Maybe this will be entertaining, this kid looks so cute and adorable. The two people were looking forward to the girl's innocent babble.

Well at least they ever hope, in fact the little boy they think is funny and adorable it seems not as simple as they think.

And Li Ying happily replied. “My name is Li Ying”

“Good name!”

“Sounds very great!” They praised, trying to please the little girl.

“Then where is your home?” This time they asked another question. Li Ying also casually replied. “There!” He pointed somewhere. “Far there past those mountains, through the forest, pasture and straight on”, who answered the question earlier.

The two people now glanced at each other, slightly frowned and thought for a moment. “How far?”

“Perhaps about two-three days trip!” Li Ying replied briefly.

The two people were staring at each other again, which meant that the residence of this little girl was very far from here. It means he has been on an exhausting journey. Especially for a child this small, it must be very difficult for him.

“Oh, your parents must be a merchant! Traders from other regions often stop for a while here.” Said the man.

Hearing that, Li Ying shook her head. “Not, I came here alone!” Her speech.

And of course it made the two men laugh. “Hahahaha, you are so funny!” he said while laughing, but when he saw Li Ying's serious expression his laughter stopped. “Haha.... Huh huh? Don't tell me it's real!”

“It was real, I was traveling alone!” Said Li Ying confidently.

The two men were now staring at each other, there was not the slightest lie that could be seen from the little girl's gaze. If the little girl was lying then the situation would become younger, they would laugh and take it as an entertaining joke. But if what he says is true, then it's not funny anymore.

It was so terrifying, imagining a little child wandering around in a foreign place alone. Pass through forests and climb mountains, sleep in the open when there is no housing, shelter in caves or trees when there is no roof, and eat bodies of wild plants when there is no food.

“Yes Lord!”

“Son, you're really reckless!” Their tone now changed, sounding a little firm but also worried.

Li Ying only smiled, he knew what the two people were thinking. “No need to think about returning me, you guys are just going to waste your time!” Say it firmly.
