Protect Our Chief

After binding her up.

Wang Anye lifted her onto the shore, and with a shake of his Profound Qi, the water on his body and clothes turned into countless tiny droplets that were shaken off. He suddenly became clean and tidy.

This was a little trick he had picked up after herding fish and dealing with water for a long time.

"Your ’Earth Dog Sprinkling Water’ move is pretty good," Wu Xue Ning said, realizing escape was futile, she decided to let it go and embrace the situation.

Especially being bound by Wang Anye like this, she couldn’t help but feel irritated.

"You demon..." Wang Anye’s words were cut mid-sentence, his expression turned stiff.

After swimming and struggling, the mundane powder on Wu Xue Ning’s face had been washed away, revealing a clear and exceptionally beautiful face.

"You, you, you, you’re Xue Ning..." Wang Anye’s handsome, sunny face showed shock, "How could it be you? Why are you here?"

Over the decades, Wu Xue Ning spent half her time studying at the Saint Land, and the other half in Gui Long City.

As the Young Clan Leader, Wang Anye occasionally visited the Saint Land or went to Gui Long City for business. Although they didn’t meet often, every few years they would have the chance to see each other and catch up briefly.

Their appearances as adults weren’t unfamiliar.

"Before asking questions, can you untie your Beast-Binding Rope?" Wu Xue Ning threw him a fierce glare.

Today’s loss of face was huge.

"Apologies, my apologies." Wang Anye hurriedly clasped his hands together in apology and rushed to help Wu Xue Ning untie the rope.

Throughout the process, he was extremely cautious, afraid to touch her body, displaying a gentlemanly demeanor.

This action aroused more resentment in Wu Xue Ning.

Just moments ago underwater, he had grabbed and embraced her, taking every opportunity he could. But now he had turned into a gentleman, ready to deny everything?

Feeling entirely dissatisfied, Wu Xue Ning, emboldened by her fury, said to Wang Anye, "Wang Anye, how do you intend to handle what just happened?"

"Well..." Wang Anye pondered seriously and said, "Xue Ning, you are an esteemed Little Princess of the Imperial Family, you surely wouldn’t come to my Wang Family’s territory to cause trouble, there must be some misunderstanding. I’ll speak with the Twelfth Brother to sort it out, for now, I won’t catch you."

What do you mean by temporarily not catching? What, are you planning to catch her later?! And is this even the issue she’s asking about?

Wu Xue Ning nearly fainted from anger.

By now, Wang Zongkun had also swum to the shore, his massive fish head resting on the embankment, watching their argument with great interest.

His gossip-loving heart burned fiercely.

That girl was actually a great beauty, it seems she has many entanglements with Anye~ What exactly is their relationship?

"Wang Anye, don’t play dumb!" Wu Xue Ning knew this was no time to let him change the subject, so she straightforwardly asked, "What I mean is what happened at the bottom of the river, how do you plan to deal with the grabbing, hugging, and kissing?"

She had realized that if she didn’t seize this opportunity to attack, in a few years, once Wang Anye and Yiluo were married, she would have no chance. After a few more years, they might even have a bunch of kids.

"Wait!" A drop of cold sweat slid down Wang Anye’s forehead, he frowned in recollection, "During the fight, the grabbing and hugging did happen, but where did this kissing come from?

"Wang Anye, tell me, have you ever kissed me in your life?" Wu Xue Ning stared with star-like eyes, her gaze piercing as she inquired.

"This... there was once, but we were young, and it was..." Wang Anye started to explain but was interrupted by Wu Xue Ning.

"So, you did."

"Really, there’s such a thing?"

The gossiping Wang Zongkun’s big eyes suddenly widened, coming to life.

Our Anye, not even married yet, already kissed a girl.

"This... Xue Ning, these are all misunderstandings." Wang Anye said helplessly, "Why are you bringing these up?"

"Wang Anye, I am also an honorable Little Princess, once I reach the Purple Mansion Realm, I’ll be a legitimate Commandery Princess of Daqian Kingdom." Wu Xue Ning said with a hum, "I’ve been hugged, kissed, and grabbed by you, what dignity do I have left to marry?"

"That’s true, you can’t get married, can’t get married." The gossip-loving Kun nodded repeatedly, expressing his support for Princess Xue Ning. His tail slapped the water loudly, indicating that if necessary, he, Zongkun, could serve as a witness — you did indeed grab, hug, and tie her up.

Wang Anye glared at Wang Zongkun disdainfully, why meddle in this mess? He took a deep breath and bowed to Wu Xue Ning, "I’m indeed at fault, I don’t know what to do to make you not angry."

"Not get angry?" Wu Xue Ning’s face turned serious, "This isn’t child’s play, what’s this about anger? Think about it, what is my status? I’m a Great Celestial Pride Commandery Princess, even marrying a Lingxu Seed from a First-Grade Noble Family of the Immortal Dynasty, wouldn’t demean anyone, right?"

"Nod, nod, not demean, not demean." The gossiping Kun started loudly slapping the river water, joining in the commotion.

Wang Anye wiped the sweat from his forehead and could only follow along, not demean, not demean.

"But this ruined and defeated body of mine, how can I face deceiving anyone?" Wu Xue Ning’s cheeks flushed hotly as she spoke ruthlessly, "Can’t put on the green hat before even getting married, right? I can’t do that."
