She became a god

Chapter 360 Li Xiuning

While Yuan Baohua and her daughter were whispering to each other, Wen Xichun was filled with suspicion.

Like most people present, Wen Xichun also felt that Ye Qingzhou had chosen Ji Xunxi as the leader.

But Ye Qingzhou chose Li Xiuning. What could be used about Li Xiuning that would make Ye Qingzhou abandon Ji Xunxi?

Wen Xichun was thinking about Li Xiuning when Li Xiuning herself came over and said, "This palace is willing to serve the divine beast its meal."

Wen Xichun stood up and gave her seat to Li Xiuning, as she was looking for an opportunity to observe Li Xiuning.

Unlike the pampered life of ordinary royalty, Li Xiuning's hands were covered in calluses, and she was taller and stronger than the average woman. She looked more like a general than a princess.

The little panda sat on Li Xiuning's lap, its body encircled by Li Xiuning's left arm, eating pastries fed to it by Li Xiuning's right hand, its two short legs dangling, looking quite content.

At six quarters past 9 PM, the banquet came to an end.

As she was about to leave, Li Xiuning said with reluctance, "The Yan Kingdom delegation will stay here for another seven days. I will come to visit the divine beast again tomorrow."

Wen Xichun frowned. She had been staring at Li Xiuning for so long, but she still couldn't see anything extraordinary about her.

They assumed that Ye Qingzhou was using Li Xiuning to provoke Ji Xunxi in order to better control Ji Xunxi.

Since Li Xiuning is useless, Ye Qingzhou will naturally not see her again.

"Need not……"

Wen Xichun and Ji Xunxi said this in unison, startling the two of them into looking at each other in surprise.

Li Xiuning looked at Ji Xunxi and smiled, "Princess Ji'an has such a good temper; even your servants are acting like you're in charge."

Ji Xunxi did not explain Wen Xichun's identity, but only said, "The princess will be returning to Yan in seven days. She should enjoy the customs and culture of Jiang. Why should she suffer to serve the divine beast?"

Li Xiuning shook her head. "I don't think serving a divine beast is a hardship. If Princess Ji'an thinks it is, I'm happy to do it for her."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xunxi could no longer laugh.

"Is Princess Pingyang going to represent the Yan Kingdom and our Jiang Kingdom in vying for the divine beast?"

That's a rather strong statement; it's already reached the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Li Xiuning chuckled and said, "Princess Ji'an misunderstands. I have only long admired the divine beast and wish to serve it a few more times to share in its good fortune."

The argument caught the attention of Yuan Zhan and the others. After learning the whole story, Liu Jia said, "The divine beast is blessed with great fortune, and it's perfectly normal for Princess Pingyang to want to get close to it. But..."

“Divine beasts are not ordinary pets; they possess intelligence and magical power. Princess Pingyang should not ask Princess Ji’an if she wants to serve as a divine attendant for the next seven days, but rather let the divine beast make the choice.”

The mythical red panda is feeling very bored (┯_┯)!

Do you really need to ask this divine beast for permission for such a trivial matter?!?

The little panda planned to leave this group with a dashing silhouette, but... the voice of that wicked woman suddenly appeared in its mind.

[Promise Li Xiuning, and I will teach you magical arts and supernatural powers at the Golden Core stage and below.]

Are red pandas so easily bribed?

Of course...yes.

The little panda, who had magical powers but no supernatural abilities, was always troubled. Now that someone was willing to teach him, the temptation was too great.

Thus, the little panda spoke human language for the first time in public, saying, "For the next seven days, Pingyang will come to serve me."

Li Xiuning was overjoyed, while Ji Xunxi and Ye Qingzhou looked rather grim.

The next day, Wen Xichun looked Li Xiuning up and down, but still couldn't see what was so good about her.

Ji Xunxi kept finding fault with everything, but Li Xiuning seemed oblivious to their rejection, always smiling as she circled around the little panda.

In the afternoon, the storyteller in the teahouse spoke with great enthusiasm, spittle flying everywhere. When he got to the exciting parts, the audience couldn't help but applaud and cheer.

Seeing that the little panda looked listless and uninterested, Li Xiuning said, "May I ask what kind of stories the divine beast likes to hear? I have been fighting alongside my father since I was a child, and I am quite knowledgeable. Perhaps there are some stories that the divine beast will be interested in."

Wen Xichun frowned. This Li Xiuning didn't have much ability, but her ability to curry favor was exceptional.

Ji Xunxi couldn't help but speak up, "I believe my knowledge and experience are no less than Princess Pingyang's. Why should the princess condescend to be a storyteller?"

“Jian is mistaken. It is my honor to serve a divine beast. Moreover, my knowledge of military affairs far surpasses yours.”

Ji Xunxi remained silent; she had indeed never been on the battlefield.

In this respect, she naturally cannot be compared with Li Xiuning, who had a distinguished military record and her own all-female army.

Li Xiuning smiled smugly. Today, Ji Xunxi and others made things difficult for her at every turn. She wasn't indifferent, but even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake, so she had to back down for the time being.

Now that she had won back the score, she was naturally delighted and said loudly, "I wonder if the divine beast would like to hear some interesting stories about the march?"

The little panda nodded; she had never been in a war before and was indeed a little curious.

As a general who fought on the battlefield, Li Xiuning had fought in hundreds of battles, large and small, and vividly describing the scenes of war was a piece of cake for her.

What's remarkable is that she can occasionally weave in some interesting little stories to dispel the grim atmosphere of war.

The little panda listened with great interest and, as the sun set, invited Li Xiuning to have dinner with him.

For three consecutive days, the little panda was only satisfied when Li Xiuning had nothing more to say.

"War is so much fun!"

Li Xiuning pressed on, saying, "I have been guarding the border for many years and there have often been battles. If the divine beast is curious, it can come with me back to the Yan Kingdom to take a look."

Ji Xunxi's face immediately darkened. "Princess Pingyang! This is a divine beast of my Jiang Kingdom!"

Li Xiuning pretended not to hear and continued to entice the little panda, "Didn't the divine beast say yesterday that it wanted to fight? Come to Yan Kingdom, you will be the commander-in-chief, and I will be the deputy general."

The little panda is a little tempted!

But seeing Ji Xunxi's fury and Wen Xichun's gloomy face out of the corner of her eye, she still didn't agree, and said with a laugh, "Let's talk about it another day."

Li Xiuning didn't want to force the issue, so she found a way to back down, "There seems to be a place selling sesame cakes up ahead. They smell pretty good. Would the mythical beast like to try some?"

The red panda twitched its nose. It smells so good!

"One of each kind of sesame seed cake, please."

Li Xiuning smiled and accepted the task.

A cup of tea had passed, but the person still hadn't returned.

The little panda said to Ji Xunxi, "Carry me to find her!"

Although Ji Xunxi was unwilling, she knew that if Princess Li Xiuning of Yan Kingdom got into trouble in Jiang Kingdom, she would also suffer.

When they finally found the pancake shop, they discovered a scene of utter chaos.

Li Xiuning's fists were covered in blood as she beat several men until they were bruised and swollen.

There was also a mother and daughter crying nearby.

Obviously, something has happened!

Upon seeing Ji Xunxi, one of the men who had been beaten cried out, "Cousin, please save me!"
