"Who are you?" The princess could feel her spine having chills and couldn't help but ask him once again about his identity. If the first question was full of authority, this time it was filled with fear. As if she was trying to know the unknown before accepting death.
"You don't need to know me." Jin Rou shook his head and said, "Just don't bother me. Of course, if you think you can risk it, continue on what you are doing."
The princess knew that he wasn't joking. She dropped her arrogance and sighed. Of course she wouldn't dare again. After all, the killing intent was true and Jin Rou wouldn't hesitate to kill her at all, even if she was the great daughter of the emperor.
"Do you have a grudge against our family?" The princess couldn't help but ask. She could feel that intense hatred from this man as if the hate was deeply ingrained in his bones.
"Depends on how your family will answer me." Jin Rou answered simply. He was not willing to divulge more information about this.
Hearing this, the princess could understand what was Jin Rou trying to say. But why would it depend on the answer of her family? Is it because Jin Rou still hadn't confirmed the case? If that's the thing, then they just needed to tread carefully in order not to offend this man.
But as the prideful and arrogant Prime family, how could they swallow treading carefully from an outsider? People should be the one being careful around them, not their family! Thus, the princess knew that it'd be useless even if she said this to her family.
But there's one thing she knew, the moment that Jin Rou revealed a bit of his killing intent, she knew that he was someone she couldn't afford to offend this time. And she could feel that this man could actually suppress them into oblivion.
As the great princess who never got wrong with her intuition, this reality scared her to the bones.
"I don't know why are you still here." Jin Rou could see that the princess was standing there unmoving, "I have no business with you. So you can continue your runaway act now. Don't bother me and I won't bother you."
Hearing these words made her back stiffened. As the princess of the Prime family, she was always adored and loved by many. Many guys from noble families fawn over her and tried to woo her. But no one could actually catch her attention as she just looked at them with utter disdain. Yet, this man in front of her actually wanted to shoo her away as if she was a dog!
How could she accept that? So though she was afraid, she still gathered her courage and said, "You're right. I ran away from home, so basically I don't have anywhere to go. How about I tag along with you?"
Hearing this, Jin Rou looked at her with cold eyes and asked, "Why should I let you tag along with me?"
"Because I know each part of our realm. With me as the tour guide, you won't ever feel lost again." The princess smiled and gave a true answer.
"Then whoever told you I'm lost?" Jin Rou raised another question, and his tone was still distant and cold.
"You're not?" The princess was confused, "If you aren't lost, I don't see a reason why you will take an alley route where birds don't even want to sit."
"..." Jin Rou was speechless. Indeed, he stumbled into that location because he didn't know the actual proper routes. That place was filled with indescribable bad smell that only those who were used to it can last.
"Do what you want." In the end, Jin Rou agreed. It was better this way if he thought about it. After all, if things went to worst, he could use the princess for something. Of course, he wouldn't be doing that unless he was left with no other choice. Furthermore, it was also good to have a companion who knew the ways, "If I catch you doing funny moves behind my back, expect that your head will fly over the sky."
"Yes yes, of course." The princess' mouth twitched. She really just wanted to accompany him out of goodwill and boredom, but this was what she got. That's frustrating! But she could only keep it inside. This man was probably one of the men who pushed through gender equality.
Jin Rou started walking off to a random direction and the princess followed suit. She asked, "Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere. As long as it is not filled with malice like yours." Jin Rou answered as if it was a matter of fact.
The princess almost spat blood. Goodness, she just teased him during her act yet he already called it malice! With his strength, how could she be bullied there? Wasn't this guy unreasonable enough to topple the heavens?
"If you want some entertainment, I can suggest you a place." The princess sighed and swallowed her grievances, "The Hidden Sky Palace is going to open their doors to the outsiders tonight after closing their doors for many years."
"Hidden Sky Palace?" Jin Rou's interest was piqued.
"Yes, it is a ground with challenges all over the place. Every 50 years, lowerful existences will come over to challenge the entire palace for rewards. Depending on how you perform, will depend how good the rewards will be." The princess explained, "It is literally a palace in the sky and no one, even my family had the access to this place. After all, it was made by a universal law-level existence."
Jin Rou thought deep. If this palace was made by a universal law, then could he break this as long as he was on the same level of the owner? But he shook this thought. For sure, the universal law was stronger than him, so it would be impossible to break it. After all, he just became one a few days ago.
