Lan Feng appeared to be gentle, refined, and courteous, but what about Princess MerLin? It was hard to imagine that a princess who had lived in the palace since she was a child did not have any of the noble bearing or elegant demeanor that she should have. Although the villagers did not have much experience, they were still sensitive to this kind of noble aura. Immediately, they gave the seat beside Lan Feng for her to sit down.

Snorting her cute nose, her small hands flapping a few times, MerLin covered her stomach and muttered: "I chased you for three days, the dessert I brought before I left was already finished, I'm so hungry!"

Lan Feng's heart trembled for no reason. It was true that his identity was noble, and he had never been hungry since he was young, but MerLin was even more pampered and lived like a prince. A princess who had grown up under the love of thousands upon thousands of people had actually starved and chased after him. This caused him to suddenly feel a heavy weight in his heart.

"Is it ready?" MerLin pitifully asked Sang Xi: "Uncle, I'm really hungry. Is the food ready?"

When had Sang Xi ever seen such a beautiful woman? She was dressed in luxurious silk clothing, had snow-white skin, exquisite facial features, and a slim figure. In the eyes of a group of villagers, she was simply a goddess that had descended from the heavens. Upon hearing her question, her face immediately turned red, and she became speechless.

A little girl was leaning on the side of the door. Her big eyes were fixated on MerLin as she exclaimed, "Big sister, you're so beautiful! Are you the goddess of the world? "

"Yeah, big sister is so beautiful!" The other children outside the door also started to shout.

Instantly, MerLin's large eyes turned into two crescent moons. Turning her head, she saw that Lan Feng was also looking at him, and couldn't help but feel hot on his cheeks.

"Great!" Esteemed customer, the food is ready! "

Sang Xi's wife, the middle-aged woman called Adora, walked in with a few other women carrying various dishes. A plate full of dishes was placed on the table. Soon, the entire table was filled with dishes.

There was no delicacy of the Duke's Mansion or the palace, nor was there any delicacies worth thousands of gold coins. In addition to the inherent fragrance of the cooked food, even the appearance of the food was lacking by a large margin. However, for the two hungry people, even a bowl of ordinary rice porridge was considered delicious!

Fortunately, although MerLin was careless and did not have many things to do, she still knew how to be polite. Soon after, the two of them swept the table with astonishing speed, and the people beside them were both surprised and happy. Two nobles of noble status had eaten so much, this was the greatest affirmation of food.

After drinking and eating until they were full, the few old people respectfully took their leave. After Sang Xi sent them off, he walked into the room with a simple and bashful smile on his face. He nervously rubbed his hands, and then asked respectfully: "Master, Sang Xi's hospitality is not good, I hope you do not blame him."

Lan Feng immediately stood up and smiled gently: "Uncle Sang Xi, you don't have to be so polite. This is the best food I've ever had, really!"

"That's right!" That's right! It's really delicious! " MerLin giggled, rubbed his stomach, and looked a little embarrassed: "My stomach's about to burst, I haven't eaten for two days, and this is my first time growing up like this!"

"That's good, that's good." Sang Xi thought for a while, then said softly, "The two of you can stay here today. Although it is very simple and crude, it is still considered clean.

Lan Feng was startled, and asked doubtfully: "If we live here, what will happen to your family?"

Sang Xi laughed, and pointed to the few guests who had just left, and said: "Every family in our village is like a family, we can just go and stay at other people's homes, but we do have a place to stay, don't worry. "I am sorry, my lords. This place is too simple and crude. Perhaps you have never lived in such a shabby place before."

After another round of courtesy, Adora came in with two new quilts. Sang Xi's family had a total of three people, the couple and a child around ten years old. Separated by the living room in the middle, there were two bedrooms on each side of the living room, whereas Adora had only cleaned up one bedroom.

After making the bed, the couple left. They closed the door softly behind them, and the living room fell into silence.

"Go rest."

Lan Feng and MerLin said the same thing at the same time, and then, both of their faces couldn't help but turn red.

After a long while, Lan Feng's voice broke the awkward silence, "MerLin, go rest. I think you must be very tired from these two days.

MerLin acknowledged her gently and walked towards her bedroom. Suddenly, she turned around: "Lan Feng, do you not wish for me to go train with you?"

Lan Feng stared blankly for a moment, took a deep breath and said softly, "You should know the reason why I left the imperial city. In the future, you can encounter danger at any time. "You are a princess of an empire with a noble identity and a noble body. It is not worth taking risks with me. If something were to happen, how would I explain it to His Majesty?"

"Just for that reason?" MerLin's expression was a little dejected, and said in a low voice, "Or … you're completely unwilling to approach me, you can't let it go …"

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lan Feng understood what she meant and nodded: "There are two reasons and the second reason; some things must be done, but this doesn't mean that I can really put it aside. It's full of people, and now the only difference is from sweet love to a dead grave, but there's still no space. "

MerLin's expression froze, and then she suddenly laughed, looking very cute: "Alright, stop talking, we are good friends, when you are unhappy I will definitely accompany you, furthermore this kind of adventure is very exciting. "En, don't leave me behind. I'm going to rest."

Like a happy swallow, she flew through the bedroom door and disappeared before Lan Feng's eyes. But when she turned around to leave, what Lan Feng did not see was that, on that beautiful face, there was a trace of loneliness surging forth.

He was basically not in the mood to cultivate as he sat cross-legged on the floor of the other room. MerLin's arrival had caused him to feel restless.

"Perhaps her identity is still the Empire's Princess after all. Even if they were to be discovered again, those assassins wouldn't be so stupid as to attack a princess, right? She had chased them all the way here and suffered so much. It wouldn't make sense to leave her behind just like that. After all, we're friends …

Lan Feng thought, until he made the final decision, then was shocked to discover that many of the reasons were so far-fetched, to the point that he was simply trying to find a reason to console MerLin!

It can't be, it definitely won't. I have always loved Yun Na, how could I possibly fall in love with someone else in such a short amount of time? No, yes! "It's time to train, train!"

With great difficulty, he managed to control his boiling emotions. The Yin Yang energies in his dantian started to revolve according to the trajectory of his mental cultivation method. It faced the east and gathered the sun's energy. Then, it faced the north. It absorbed the moon's energy and tempered it. The azure and red energy swirled around its body, one at a time …

"Hmm."

After cultivating for six hours yesterday, he leaned against the side of the chair and fell asleep. Only, there was actually a blanket over him.

These past few days, he had been too tired so much that no one noticed him walking in. He laughed self-deprecatingly, and just at this moment, MerLin walked in carrying a wooden tray. On the tray, there was rice porridge and a few common dishes. She had a happy smile on her face: "Lan Feng, you're awake? Come and eat in the morning, I'm so hungry. "

Putting down the blanket on the bed, Lan Feng then thought of the question that came up from the blanket — — Who helped him cover himself with the blanket, and the answer was right in front of him.

"Thank you, MerLin." Lan Feng walked to the table and softly said: "When I was young, Mother would cover me with a blanket every night. You reminded me of her, thank you so much."

MerLin brought a bowl of congee in front of him, and said with a smile: "Alright, so much talk, eat, I've already eaten, it's so delicious!"

Such a pampered princess, chasing her horse at top speed without eating or drinking anything, and now that she was living such a life with him, he did not know if these foods could compare to the delicacies of the palace. Looking at her heartfelt smile, Lan Feng became even more confused.

"Hey!" Hurry and prepare food for us, don't worry, we will not eat for nothing, and will naturally pay for it. You should have heard of the famous Firebird Company, right? "

"What?" Inconvenient? We only have two people, how can it not be convenient? You mischievous people, are you really afraid that we won't pay? Good! Then I'll just give you the money first, okay? "

"Hey, hey, hey!" Why are you so adamant on not giving up? I said it's not okay to pay? This captain hasn't eaten in three days and is about to starve to death! "

"Oh my god!" How could that be? I know that many mercenary groups are robbers, but our Firebird Company is not that kind of people. "Save me, do you want me to starve to death in this crappy place?"

"You really won't give it to me? If you don't give it to me, I will snatch it! I can't stand it any longer, I won't even give you a cent! "

A voice filled with anger came from a distance. Perhaps it was from anger, but a trace of battle qi was mixed within the voice. Even though it was very far away, it could still be heard clearly.

Lan Feng finished the rest of the congee in one breath, frowned and quickly walked outside.
