I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 192 Elder Little Flower

As dawn approached, chaos erupted outside the castle, with men and horses scattered in disarray. The entire kingdom of Us had been turned upside down by the guards.

The old king gave the order at dawn, and by dawn, the guards were all bloated and stuffed.

Regardless of who was staying in the noble tents in the city, they would forcibly break in and ransack the place. Their actions were like a locust swarm, leaving nothing behind, making such a fortune that even passing dogs would be plucked by them.

The old king remained inside the castle, oblivious to the clamor outside.

Apart from the necessary guards at the entrance, the castle was almost deserted at this time.

The old king sat on his throne in the lapis lazuli palace, his hand supporting half his face, his eyelids drooping.

Seeing his son Yarrow enter, he slowly and weakly stood up:

"My son, since you ran away, why did you come back?"

"Father..."

Prince Yaro bowed his head and called out softly. His legs were trembling violently as he staggered to the old king, trying his best to straighten his body.

"So be it, so be it. What's meant to be will be. Perhaps you're destined for it..."

The old king muttered to himself, not needing Yarrow's reply, and slapped his chair:

"Sigh, come with me."

As the old king rose, the silver throne moved to one side, revealing a staircase leading underground.

Prince Yarrow, who was already mentally prepared, was used to this and followed the old king down the stairs.

The staircase spiraled downwards, and as they walked, the two found themselves in a white bulge on the palace ceiling.

The ceiling beneath their feet felt like walking on seawater, and the entire palace below was clearly visible. The silver throne had returned to its original state after they entered.

If someone were to enter at this moment, they would probably only assume that the old king has already left.

Prince Yaro glanced down, but his fear of heights made him afraid to look any further.

He looked up and saw not the white bulge he had seen from the outside, but a deep, dark blue night sky.

A silvery-white Milky Way, radiating a cool and mysterious light, bisects the sky.

Prince Yaro seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force. His lips parted slightly as he stared blankly upwards, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Suddenly, a unique and magnetic metallic sound, like the clash of swords, rang out in the space, abruptly pulling the Little Prince back to reality.

"Bai Han, didn't I say that you shouldn't contact me unless it's important?"

The old king lowered his head tremblingly, like a disciplined child, not daring to even breathe loudly:

"Your Excellency, please forgive me. It is truly feared that the Kingdom of Us is about to be destroyed by the superior nation. I have come to implore Your Excellency to instruct me on what to do next."

"Such a small country, its destruction is nothing to be alarmed about! Once the people of the superior nation have left, we will help you restore your country."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, the destruction of the Kingdom of Us is not a problem, but I have heard that the King of Rui, who leads the army, is somewhat different from others. It seems that nothing can stump him. I am worried that if he occupies our Us, he will notice some clues, which will ruin Your Excellency's plans, and that would be terrible."

The voice paused for a moment, then rang out again, carrying a hint of gritted teeth:

"How could you become king like this! How did you come to offend King Rui? Tell me what happened quickly!"

"Last time, the envoy took a liking to my son and wanted him to participate in the next batch of divine envoy selections. My son was deeply honored, but while he was out, he was unfortunately kidnapped by villains. With my son missing, I feared that this year's celebrations could not be held as scheduled, so I wanted to find some powerful people to help me find my son. Unexpectedly, among this group, there was a daring person who kidnapped Princess Shouguang of the superior country. Princess Shouguang's maid said that the Rui King's army is nearby, and if anything happens to Princess Shouguang, the army will surely crush our Wusi Kingdom."

"Who are you talking about? Princess Shouguang in your Wusi Kingdom?"

"Yes……"

The old king had just answered when the voice rudely interrupted him.

"Wait a moment, let me take a look..."

Before a cup of tea could be brewed, the voice roared, sounding somewhat irritable and speechless:

"What's going on? The Princess Shouguang you mentioned is right at your castle gate!"

……

Fei Xi was covered in dust and grime, wearing a gray outer robe. Although he looked dirty and disheveled, like a beggar, his indomitable spirit was undeniable.

She stood tall and straight as a pine tree in front of the castle gate, showing no sign of timidity despite her shabby clothes.

As soon as the old king came out, he saw Fei Xi waiting in the distance, neither humble nor arrogant, with a solemn expression, for the guards to go and report.

He secretly praised her, thinking to himself, "As expected of a noblewoman from a superior country, her aura is truly extraordinary."

When they arrived in front of Fei Xi, the old king was surprised to find that Fei Xi was holding a small puppet made of steel.

Sensing his gaze, the puppet doll, like a real child, shyly turned its head away and rubbed its face against Fei Xi's shoulder as if being affectionate.

"It is a great blessing that the Princess is safe and sound! May I ask who this gentleman is?"

"You're too kind, King Baihan. This is Elder Xiaohua from Tiangongbao."

"Elder Xiaohua, it is truly an honor for our country to have you grace our Wusi Kingdom with your presence."

The old king was like a bald old man who had suddenly met his true love. He swept away his previous half-dead and listless state and was overjoyed, as if he had been given a second spring.

"I came for my sister, not as a guest."

"Ah, Princess, please come with me. You can rest assured that the castle has been reinforced and will not allow you to suffer any further harm."

Fei Xi noticed that although the old king in front of her was speaking to her, his eyes were fixed on the little flower in her arms, and there seemed to be some kind of indescribable excitement in his expression.

He wasn't displeased at all when Xiaohua ignored him.

Suppressing her inner suspicions, Fei Xi followed the old king into the castle without making a sound.

Along the way, the old king followed Xiaohua's wishes and did not force a conversation.

Instead, he apologized to Fei Xi, saying that he had been unhospitable and had mistaken a treacherous person for a hero, causing Fei Xi to suffer.

She then spoke of other people, saying that everyone, including her maid, was searching for her outside.

Seeing that Fei Xi looked exhausted, the old king didn't ask her how she escaped from that lewd man. He immediately summoned servants to help her return to her room to rest.

Fei Xi instructed the servants to prepare water and clothing, and then drove the people outside.

Soaking in the bathtub, Fei Xi finally felt alive again.

After washing off the dust, she played in the water and caught a glimpse of the little puppet sitting by the door with its back to her.

Just as she returned to the Kingdom of Us and walked to the castle, Little Flower suddenly appeared out of nowhere and hugged her tightly.

Xiao Hua had previously appeared in her room, but the timing was not right, and the two had no time to catch up before hurriedly hiding away.

Now that they meet again, looking at that small, black steel body, it seems to be placed on a furnace, gradually turning redder and redder.

Seeing this, Fei Xi was seized by a playful impulse and couldn't help but flick a few drops of water at the little puppet that was sitting obediently.

The little puppet turned around blankly, looking as if it had been roasted alive, and muttered a sentence with a feeling of grievance:

"elder sister!"

"Xiao Hua, why aren't you with Senior Mu?"

Fei Xi, seemingly oblivious to the little puppet's unusual behavior, feigned innocence and began discussing serious matters:

“I heard from Junior Brother Liu that not long after you were brought to Dongshan Pass by Madam Hua Lian, Senior Mu left on important business. I wonder how Senior Mu is doing lately? I am very grateful to Senior Mu for escorting you all the way. I haven’t had a chance to thank Senior Mu in person yet.”

Fei Xi had barely finished speaking when Xiao Hua angrily and aggrievedly shouted:

"Xiaohua will never talk to that big liar again!"

"what happened?"

"He clearly promised me that he would accompany me to see my sister after he finished his work, but then I heard..."

Xiaohua stopped talking halfway through her sentence and suddenly fell silent.

"It's alright, my sister is fine."

"You're alright, but I'm in trouble!"

The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a maid with a stiff face walked in.
