Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Oh? Godfather, he wants to be my godmother too?"

Yuwen Tianle pointed at Mo Sijin and said to Bai Yue, while Su Lingbing also came over, took out a bag of candy and stuffed it into Yuwen Tianle's hand.

"My little darling, how about I become your godmother? If you agree, I'll prepare lots and lots of candy for you every day!"

"This……"

Before Yuwen Tianle could speak, Bai Yue rubbed her temples and said.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!"

She then walked up to the man in the lead. When he saw her approach, he trembled with fear and begged for mercy.

"Great hero, spare our lives! We were forced into this robbery because we had no other choice. The old people and children in the village are starving! We just want to get some food and supplies to take back. Please, have mercy on us!"

He spoke with tears streaming down his face, and the men tied up beside him also pleaded. Bai Yue wanted to ask about the "crime recorder," but a message popped up in front of her: "System is being updated and is temporarily unavailable."

"These people are unsteady on their feet and have lifeless eyes; they really have been starving for a while!"

Lu Wangyou leaned close to Bai Yue and whispered something.

After a moment's thought, she made her decision and spoke to the man in the lead.

"You say the village is impoverished, is that true or false? Words alone are insufficient proof. Take us to your village to see for ourselves. If it's truly as you say, there might be room for negotiation. But if you dare to deceive us..."

Although Bai Yue hadn't finished speaking, the threatening gazes from the others made the man shiver, and he hurriedly nodded repeatedly.

"We wouldn't dare lie! Absolutely not! The village is just ten miles ahead in a mountain valley. We're willing to lead the way! We only beg you ladies, after you've seen it, to give us a way to survive..."

So, the group of men, leading the bound Uyghur men, followed the directions they were given and traveled along an even more rugged and narrow mountain path.

After walking for about half an hour, a dilapidated village nestled in a mountain valley suddenly appeared before us. The village was not large, but nearly half of the houses showed obvious signs of damage.

"Chieftain! Chieftain, save me!"

As soon as the leading man entered the village, he started shouting loudly. Soon, some emaciated women, children, and elderly people timidly peeked out from the dilapidated houses or corners.

Upon seeing several able-bodied men from the village being held captive by Bai Yue and the others, a boy of about ten years old cried out in surprise and turned to run towards a relatively intact large house deep inside the village.

Before long, an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a simple wooden cane, walked out shakily with the child's help.

Although the old man was also thin, his clothes were relatively neat. He first looked at Bai Yue and her group of "uninvited guests" with vigilance and suspicion, and then slowly stepped forward. He bowed slightly to Bai Yue, who was obviously the leader, in accordance with the etiquette of the Wu tribe.

"Guests from afar, why have you bound the men of my village? If they have offended us, I apologize on their behalf and beg for your mercy."

Before Bai Yue could answer, Ruoxu stepped forward. She was not dressed as a Taoist nun at the moment, but spoke clearly in fluent Wu language.

“Grandpa, we were resting on the mountain road ahead when these people from your village jumped out with sticks, trying to rob us of our belongings and even kidnap us. If we hadn’t been able to defend ourselves, we would probably be in grave danger by now.”

Upon hearing this, the old man's face instantly drained of color. He abruptly turned his head, staring intently at the group of bound men, his chest heaving violently, his hand holding the wooden cane trembling.

"Amu! You! All of you!"

The old man's voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief, anger, and heartache.

"You really...you really did such a thing?"

The leading man, named Amu, lowered his head in shame, not daring to meet the old man's gaze.

The old man said no more. He broke free from the child who was supporting him, walked shakily to Amu, raised the wooden cane in his hand, and with all his might, struck Amu's body and back hard, again and again!

"I'll beat you all to death, you worthless bastards! Cough cough..."

The old man coughed angrily as he hit the man.

"No matter how poor or miserable we Ukrainians are, we cannot do such heinous and immoral things as highway robbery!"

He then walked up to the other bound men and slapped them hard across the face one by one, before bursting into tears.

"We are the Wu people! Not those unreasonable barbarians who only know how to rob and kill! How can you do this to the Queen Bee, to your ancestors?"

"But we really have no food left in our village. Am I just supposed to watch everyone starve to death?"

Amu finally lost his temper and roared loudly.

"Even if we starve to death, we absolutely cannot eat food that has been stolen. Do you want our souls to be unable to return to the Queen Bee's side after we die?"

The old man roared angrily, then knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to the south.

"Queen Bee, this is all my fault for not teaching them properly. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone. These children are innocent. Please don't unleash your anger on them!"

"Clan leader!"

Upon seeing this, Amu lowered his head in shame, while the old man remained with his eyes closed in repentance.

Looking at the heartbroken old man and the ashamed "robbers," Bai Yue had already made her judgment.

"Old man, please get up. My companions have already taught these people a lesson. You don't need to blame yourself anymore!"

Bai Yue walked up to the old man and spoke in a gentle voice.

"But judging from what they're saying, your village has suffered a disaster?"

Upon hearing Bai Yue's question, the old man stopped what he was doing, wiped away his tears, and sighed deeply.

"To be honest, esteemed guest, a few days ago, a group of thugs came from who-knows-where, broke into the village, stole all our grain, and burned down many houses. These children were driven to desperation, which is why... that's why they went astray..."

He glanced at Amu and the others with a complicated expression, then sighed helplessly.

"Hmm, it seems these people weren't lying after all!"

Having made up her mind, Bai Yue smiled and spoke to the old man.

"Since there is a reason for this, we can let this matter go."

Upon hearing this, Amu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but then Bai Yue continued speaking.

"However, looting is not the right way. Perhaps I can help with the difficulties your village is facing."

"Our esteemed guest is going to help us?"

Upon hearing this, the old man spoke excitedly, and Yuwen Yi, upon hearing that he wanted to help, immediately took out a bag of silver from his person.

"Yi... Sister, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing the other person's expression, Mo Sijin couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"My husband wanted to help them, so I gave them silver so they could buy food!"

Yuwen Yi then addressed the others.

"You all quickly take out all the silver you have and leave it all to them!"
