Although she had deliberately approached the dragon emperor for revenge, after spending time with him, she seemed to have rediscovered the feeling of being in love when she was young.
She thought that the other party should also love her.
But now, it seemed that it was her wishful thinking.
Cynthia lowered her head to hide the hatred and resentment in her eyes. She said gently, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'll serve His Majesty after I change."
"Mhm."
Cynthia turned and walked in the other direction. Xue Ling watched her leave, his eyes flashing.
He had been prepared to find another way to send Cynthia away. Now, it seemed that Cynthia had made things easier for him herself.
When Xue Ling followed the dragon emperor to visit Helena, Cynthia had already returned to her bedroom.
As soon as she entered the room, she realized that the entire room was frozen.
Before she could retreat, frost quickly spread up her ankles and froze her entire lower body.
Cynthia was frozen in place, unable to move.
She looked at Shuang Yun, who was standing by the window, with an unfriendly gaze. "What do you want? This is the palace. If I shout, countless guards will immediately rush in. At that time, you won't be able to escape."
Shuang Yun stood with his arms crossed, his dark green eyes devoid of warmth. "Then go ahead and scream. Let's see if those guards will make it here before you die."
Cynthia immediately stopped talking.
Shuang Yun asked, "Where did you hide Huanhuan's things?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't try to play dumb. Cyril took everything from Huanhuan. Cyril has always listened to you. You must have those things."
Cynthia's eyes darted around. "When did Cyril kidnap Lin Huanhuan? Why didn't I know about it? Maybe there's a misunderstanding. Let me go first and we'll talk."
Shuang Yun ignored her quibble and said coldly, "You only have two choices now. Either you hand them over or you'll be frozen into an ice sculpture. Choose."
Cynthia suddenly smiled viciously. "I want to choose the third option where you die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cyril broke through the window and stabbed the blade in his hand at Shuang Yun!
Shuang Yun rolled on the ground and dodged the sneak attack.
With a wave of his hand, countless ice thorns immediately emerged from the ground and stabbed at Cyril!
The two sides fought fiercely.
They made a lot of noise, startling the guards patrolling nearby.
The guards rushed over when they heard the news. Cynthia immediately shouted at them, "This beast is the murderer who hurt the princess. Hurry up and catch him!"
…
Huanhuan and Bai Di waited in the inn for most of the day. When the sun was about to set, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling finally returned.
The two of them looked very agitated.
Especially Shuang Yun. He rushed into the room and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Run!"
Huanhuan looked confused. "Where are we going?"
Shuang Yun pushed open the window and gestured for her to see for herself.
Huanhuan leaned over and saw that the sky and ground outside were filled with soldiers.
That shameless Xue Ling was still laughing. "Not only did we snatch Little Lotus and the green crystal bracelet back, but we also brought back a bunch of enemies. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Huanhuan: "…"
The surprise was so great that she felt her heart stop.
The enemy had surrounded the small inn. It was definitely impossible for them to leave through the front door.
Xue Ling transformed into a condor and flew out of the window with the three of them. He flapped his wings and quickly fled out of the city.
Huanhuan shouted into the wind, "Why are there so many pursuers? Did you tear down their houses when you took back Little Lotus and the green crystal bracelet?"
Shuang Yun scratched his cheek. "I didn't tear down the house. I just accidentally killed a few dragon guards."
Xue Ling added, "Besides, the dragon emperor already knows that we made his daughter mentally disabled."
Huanhuan gave him a thumbs-up. "Very good. We have to escape to the ends of the earth this time."
Eggy jumped on her head and let out an excited cry. "Chirp chirp!"
Bai Di looked back at the dragon army behind him and raised his hand to throw a bolt of lightning.
The two pursuers closest to them were struck by lightning. They screamed and suddenly fell, disappearing into the vast forest below.
Huanhuan released the butterfly flowers.
The blue-purple butterfly flowers flapped their wings and swarmed toward the dragon army behind them.
The dragon soldiers' vision was disturbed, and they were forced to slow down.
By the time they finally chased the butterflies away, the four beasts were long gone.
There were so many of them, but they still lost their targets.
When they returned, they would be reprimanded again.
But this had nothing to do with Huanhuan. She was busy educating her two male beasts.
The little girl stood on the ground and glared at Shuang Yun and Xue Ling in front of her. She said angrily, "The two of you only know how to cause trouble all day long! Now, things have blown up!"
Shuang Yun retorted bluntly, "We went to the palace to look for Cynthia to help you get the bracelet and Little Lotus back. Not only are you not touched, but you're also blaming us. As expected, Bai Di is the only one in your heart!"
Xue Ling smiled sinisterly. "She gave the main ring to Bai Di. Bai Di is her treasure. We're nothing in her eyes."
"In my opinion, we shouldn't have come back just now. If we'd been caught, perhaps she would've shed a tear for us."
"Forget it. We'd better go. There's no room for us in this family."
"Others favor the newcomers instead of the old ones, but she only has eyes for the old. We, newbies, are just foils."
"My heart hurts. I feel like I can't breathe. I might as well die."
…
Huanhuan: "…"
'I only said a few words, but these two guys are acting as if they were possessed by drama queens.'
If they were given a script, the two of them could get an Oscar!
Shuang Yun and Xue Ling kept shouting that they wanted to leave this heartless female, but their four feet seemed to have taken root. They stayed rooted to the ground and did not move for a long time.
Huanhuan couldn't argue with them, so she simply turned her head away.
Xue Ling clutched his chest, his tone as pretentious as possible. "It's over. You're not even willing to look at us now. Don't you love us anymore?"
Before Huanhuan could argue, Xue Ling turned and pulled Eggy into his arms. A sad tear fell from the corner of his eye.
"Eggy, Mom doesn't want us anymore. Daddy will take you away now!"
