Abandoned Princesses
The Second Protective Spirit

"What are you doing here?" Qiao Rong said as he looked at Shen Haofeng who was sitting in the sanping of his bed holding a small bowl.

"Enn.. Giving you medicine?" Shen Haofeng replied in confusion. At first he was a bit confused to respond, but over time his smile began to crack because he was happy.

"Why are you smiling?" Qiao Rong was confused. He never saw the young man as expressive.

"Because you're awake." Shen Haofeng then stood up, placed the medicine bowl on the nightstand, and helped Qiao Rong to sit down.

Qiao Rong could only nod and cast a glance around him. He felt he had slept for so long.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Qiao Rong ventured to ask Shen Haofeng that.

"Eleven days." Qiao Rong was honestly very surprised. He felt that he had only been asleep for five or six days, even longer than he had expected.

Chu Yue who heard Shen Haofeng's voice that seemed to be talking also immediately entered Qiao Rong's room. Seeing Qiao Rong sitting on the bed made him immediately hug Qiao Rong. However, just as he realized his insolence towards Qiao Rong and wanted to apologize, he remembered that he should not make Shen Haofeng suspicious of Qiao Rong's identity. Finally the all-rounded Chu Yue could only walk out of the room in embarrassment. Qiao Rong laughed a little because of the girl's actions. If the same thing happened to Chu Yue, she would definitely do the same.

Shen Haofeng came home with a radiant face. Even Jiang Junwei shuddered when he saw her at home. He was horrified when he remembered the last time Shen Haofeng's face beamed like that.

Before meeting Shen Haofeng in Nanshan Village, Jiang Junwei had only seen Shen Haofeng smile once. It happened while they were drinking together. Shen Haofeng, who had never tried alcohol for a lifetime, found it very bad to overcome it. Just a few cups, and he was already drunk.

Jiang Junwei originally only wanted to laugh seeing his master do some stupid things. But it ran aground when some professional hit men came attacking them. The thing he remembered was the beaming face of Shen Haofeng while killing all those hitmen. Even their corpses were not intact when Jiang Junwei saw many limbs splattered beneath him. Afterwards, he vowed never to let Shen Haofeng touch alcohol again.

Qiao Rong was now enjoying his hot bath. But he suddenly remembered something.

"Li Junyan's! Out you!" Qiao Rong tried to shout in a slight whisper so that Chu Yue who was in the front room did not hear his voice.

Li Junyan finally walked out of the Yin Yang Book room after several times Qiao Rong cried out with emotion. Li Junyan let out a parched expression. He felt his history was over.

"Where were you when I fought the Nirvana Snake, boy?!" Qiao Rong started to let out his embedded emotions from eleven days ago.

"Hey, comeon. The snake also makes me unable to talk or get out." Li Junyan begged Qiao Rong not to get angry. Qiao Rong was still upset that Li Junyan was not around when he needed him. But hearing the boy's innuendo, Qiao Rong couldn't do anything either. Finally, he only stabbed Li Junyan a few times. Li Junyan could only grimace.

Suddenly while Qiao Rong was still talking at length regarding the incident.. Lan Long appeared on Qiao Rong's right palm. It had been several months since Lan Long had last appeared, it made Qiao Rong quite happy to see the little dragon circling around his hand.

However, this time Lan Long appeared with a somewhat worried and burdened face. Qiao Rong was curious, what kind of thing happened to that Water Dragon King?

"Master.I'm sorry. I've been trying so long to ignore it but.." Lan Long looked desperate. Qiao Rong was even more confused to learn that Lan Long's troubles had something to do with him.

However, unfinished he thought, suddenly his left palm became warm.

From Qiao Rong's left palm, appeared a white tiger. Qiao Rong was certainly surprised. A thousand years he had passed through time, yet even in the past, Qiao Rong had never heard of someone who possessed two protective spirits.

"Master, you can't blame me, that cunning old man crying on my doorstep every day since I chose you. I can't even sleep." Lan Long became depressed as she thought about it again. It had been these few months in the spirit world that he could not eat or sleep properly. If it appeared before Qiao Rong, it was possible for the white tiger to come along and their contract would be realized. However, today he was no longer strong enough to withstand the whimper of the white tiger.

Qiao Rong nodded in understanding. Seeing Qiao Rong's nod, Lan Long was finally able to sigh with relief.

But first, Qiao Rong wanted to hear Bai Lao's explanation first. "Why did you choose me?"

"Because we, the King of the Four Wind Eyes, have since formed never chosen a master. When the old dragon chose you, I already knew for sure that person was no ordinary person." Bai Lao replied sincerely.

Qiao Rong could see Bai Lao's sincerity when he answered him. Therefore, Qiao Rong simply smiled kindly and welcomed Bai Lao's arrival. It is also not a problem to get help later. Lan Long was actually not too happy with Bai Lao who was going to share her master's affection, yet she could only let out a short sigh.

Li Junyan who saw Lan Long's helpless expression only chuckled lightly.

Chu Yue could only pacing back and forth in confusion from the front door of the bathroom. He was waiting for Qiao Rong to apologize for his stupidity earlier. Actually, he had many opportunities, but because he felt awkward at last the apology still did not come out of his mouth.

As soon as Qiao Rong walked out of the bathroom, Chu Yue who was in front of the door took a few steps back and bowed to apologize.

"Please forgive my servant, Your Majesty!" Qiao Rong only laughed after being stunned for a while. He had not expected, having just finished bathing, to be greeted by such a thing at the door.

Hearing Qiao Rong's laughter, Chu Yue ventured to look up for a while and found Qiao Rong's face looking at her with a smile.

"It doesn't have to be. We've been together for seven years, you're even better than my own sister who wants to kill me." Qiao Rong replied with a warm smile.

Those were the two sides of Qiao Rong felt by those closest to him. If he did not know and had a bad premonition towards that person, plus his bad nature, Qiao Rong would raise all his vigilance and stay away from that person as quickly as possible. If there was someone who did not have any purpose towards him and could indeed accompany him sincerely, Qiao Rong would turn one hundred and eighty degrees and smile the entire time.

Chu Yue felt so moved. His eyes started to glaze over, but he held him back from embarrassing himself in front of Qiao Rong. Then finally they continued to choose clothes and make up a little.

As soon as Qiao Rong came out, he was shocked because at the door of his house was already standing a young man whose face was very familiar. Shen Haofeng's.

"Shen Haofeng's? You're not hunting today? How's body? Does the Kunlun Fruit work properly?" Qiao Rong attacked Shen Haofeng with so many questions. Yet Shen Haofeng answered him so patiently.

"Yes. No, I was waiting for you. My body is good, the Kunlun Fruit also works very well. How're you? Can it go well?" Hearing Shen Haofeng's words, Qiao Rong stared for a moment.

It would be perfectly normal for the young man to answer with just a nod or a dullness. He was not prepared for Shen Haofeng who had just spoken so long, let alone inquired about his circumstances. Slowly, Qiao Rong's face began to blush. He simply nodded to answer Shen Haofeng's question.

"Goodoo. Do you want to go to town?" Shen Haofeng asked.

"Aah?" Qiao Rong turned back to sculpt for a moment.

Not enough progress in talking, now even want to ask a date?
