Resisting the Wind and Splendor

With a snap, the end of the whip slammed to the ground, creating a crack in the earth.

Dust flew everywhere!

It's clear that he possesses considerable inner strength.

Zisu felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that her young mistress might suffer, and quickly rushed over to protect Chu Yueli.

Chu Yueli felt a slight throbbing pain in her temples, but without showing any emotion, she pulled her back behind her.

Men are such a troublesome thing. What does the woman he attracts have to do with her?

She looked at Tuoba Liuli's long whip, then suddenly curled her lips into a smile, as if her eyes had lit up.

"Seventh Princess, you misunderstand. I don't know what happened just now either. It seems that Prince Mo and Prince Jin had some argument, and Prince Jin and I are old acquaintances... The reasons are complicated and I can't explain them in a short time. However, Seventh Princess, your whip is really beautiful. What material is it made of? I have never seen such a unique whip before!"

Tuoba Liuli's long whip, with a faint red glow amidst its black sheen, was indeed made of a rare treasure.

After being praised by Chu Yueli, half of the anger in Tuoba Liuli's heart miraculously dissipated.

She stroked her long whip, smiling smugly: "It's made from the hide of a fire lion beast. That fire lion beast was incredibly ferocious. It took our warriors from the Eastern Zhou three days and three nights to subdue it!"

“The princess must be very favored in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, that’s why this fire lion beast skin was bestowed upon you. I’m afraid other princesses don’t have that, do they?” Chu Yueli said with a smile.

"Of course! My father dotes on me!" Tuoba Liuli's eyes shone with light.

Chu Yueli continued, "I really envy you, Princess. You have a good friend like Prince Mo, a loving brother like the Third Prince, and a father who dotes on you. Unlike me, I have nothing."

She lowered her eyes, a sense of loss washing over her.

Looking at her face, Tuoba Liuli felt a pang of sadness at the sight of this beautiful woman's forlorn expression.

"You...you don't be sad, you...you will meet someone who will cherish you, um, I...um..."

Tuoba Liuli was not one to comfort people. Seeing Chu Yueli's distress, she was speechless and didn't know how to start a conversation.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, she rushed over and grabbed Chu Yueli's hand, saying, "Don't be sad. From today onwards, I'll protect you!"

Zisu coughed lightly, her voice somewhat muffled.

Chu Yueli kicked her without making a sound.

Zisu quickly lowered her head and backed away, not daring to utter a sound.

Chu Yueli then looked at Tuoba Liuli and nodded: "I understand. I'm not sad. I will be strong."

"Hmm!" Tuoba Liuli took her hand. Just then, Tuoba Yi and Lu Fengjin came out of the residence. Tuoba Liuli then led Chu Yueli quickly to Tuoba Yi: "Third brother, let me introduce you. She is my new friend."

"You've made friends again?" Tuoba Yi's gaze fell on Chu Yueli's face.

She was so charming and pitiful that I felt sorry for her. She was as beautiful as a celestial being. Even Tuoba Yi, who was used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the royal family, couldn't help but be amazed by her.

However, he only glanced at him a few more times before smiling and saying, "And this is..."

"She is..." Tuoba Liuli was stunned. She didn't even know the other person's name, yet she had already made friends with her.

Just now, I was a little tipsy, but I don't really dislike the girl in front of me.

Chu Yueli leaned forward and said, "I am Chu Yueli, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I have come to entertain the Seventh Princess on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress."

"Then I'll call you Ali!" Tuoba Liuli smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Ali, from now on, follow me, and I'll protect you!"
