The accompanying doctor came again.
In front of Gu Nian, the beauty was still saying “ouch”, but when the medical practitioner came up to replace Gu Nian, he didn’t even bother to raise his eyelids.
The accompanying doctor went around to check several times, and finally walked back to Gu Nian and said with a heavy expression: “Your Highness, it seems that the man you saved cannot speak.”
Gu Nian said with a dull face: “I knew this before you came here.”
Hearing the impatience of grinding knives hidden behind Her Royal Highness’s tone, the accompanying doctor wiped his sweat: “Initial judgment is that he may have been hit on the head when he fell into the water, or had other internal injuries, resulting in temporary speech impairment.”
“…”
Gu Nian said nothing. She raised her eyes and looked past the doctor’s figure to the bonfire behind him——
The beauty had already sat up on the stretcher. Under the cold and wary gazes of several members of the guard team, he was very calm. He even moved his eyes left and right, as if he was curiously looking at the camp he was in at this time.
With this psychological quality, he must be a person who could do great things.
Her Royal Highness held her cheek lazily, thinking without any expression.
She was not worried, but some people were still anxious.
After listening to the doctor’s words, the maid waited for a while and saw that Gu Nian was still distracted, so she asked the doctor in a low voice: “Then will he be able to recover in the future?”
The doctor answered cautiously: “This depends on the recovery situation.”
The maid frowned and whispered: “It’s the same as not saying anything.”
Doctor Quan pretended not to hear, found an excuse and ran away.
The maid came up and looked at Gu Nian’s side: “Your Highness, what do you plan to do with this man?”
Gu Nian turned back and yawned from sleepiness: “What do you want to do?”
The maid sighed: “He is so good-looking, but it’s a pity that he turned into a fool. If we don’t care about him, he may not be able to get out of this forest alive.”
Gu Nian nodded: “Yes.”
“Otherwise, shall we take him in? Take him back to the palace in the future, take him back to the palace…” The maid thought hard for a moment, her eyes lighting up, “Bring him back to the palace, even if he is displayed as a vase, it will be pleasing to the eye!”
Gu Nian stood up from the campfire and replied perfunctorily: “That makes sense, then I’ll leave it to you -“
Before the word “Le” came out of her mouth, Gu Nian’s steps towards the tent and dreamland stumbled.
Feeling the resistance coming from under the inner armor, Gu Nian lowered her head, and then followed the tail of the inner armor to see the hand stretched out from the campfire.
The joints of that hand were slender and beautiful, and they were visibly white under the firelight. Following it, Gu Nian could easily see the beautiful face with long hair.
She didn’t know when he had withdrawn his attention from the surroundings. Now he was sitting there, looking up at her, his eyes deep, clear and focused.
“Ouch.”
He called to her softly.
Gu Nian’s heartstrings were plucked. When she regained consciousness, she bent her eyes and smiled, then knelt down and stopped in front of the beautiful man. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Nian paused again.
The beauty seemed to be very, very tall. When she squatted in front of him, she was still shorter than him sitting down.
Gu Nian pretended to move her legs and feet uncomfortably, then stood up again. Finally, she leaned on her knees and bent down to look at him: “You want to come with me?”
The great beauty: “Ouch.”
Gu Nian shook her head: “No, I want to go to bed.”
The great beauty: “Ouch.”
Gu Nian: “You can’t sleep with me.”
Big beauty: “Ouch?”
Gu Nian: “Because they will definitely not let me.”
The big beauty: “Ouch…”
Being stared at by the beautiful man with lost and wet eyes, Gu Nian felt guilty for some reason.
She turned around and tried to seek recognition from the side, and then met the stunned expressions of the maid and the members of the guard team who were responsible for guarding outside her camp.
Gu Nian felt uncomfortable being stared at and stood up: “It depends on what I do.”
“Your Highness,” the maid raised her gaze after her figure in shock, “can you understand what he is saying?”
Gu Nian lowered her head and met the beautiful man’s clear eyes. She turned back in a matter-of-fact manner: “Look at his eyes, isn’t it easy to understand?”
The maid shook her head: “Not at all.”
“Oh,” Gu Nian didn’t pay attention, “Maybe it’s because I’m gifted.”
Maid:”……”
Gu Nian turned around to go back to the tent to rest, but she felt a certain fixed gaze that never left her figure. She hesitated for a moment, then turned back and said, “Pitch him a tent, right next to mine.”
“Yes.”
Gu Nian turned around and met the eyes by the campfire: “I will come out to see you early tomorrow morning.”
“…Ouch.”
The beautiful man’s eyes shone slightly and he whispered softly.
The beauty’s “recovery” progressed very quickly.
The next day in the evening, when they set up camp to rest again, Gu Nian found that he could already say out some words individually.
By the time he arrived at the outskirts of the evil dragon’s territory three days later, except for his slow speech and frequent pauses, he was already able to communicate normally like an ordinary person.
This time the doctor was amazed.
During the last diagnosis and treatment, the maid beside her said uncertainly: “But is he really recovering? Why do I feel that he is more like learning and imitating us?”
“Of course it’s recovery,” the doctor argued dissatisfiedly, “How could a person have such a terrifying learning speed without the foundation of past memory?”
“He looks so beautiful, maybe he’s not human.”
“…Nonsense, besides, the human race is already the smartest creature among the hundreds of races. The monsters and beasts are all physically powerful, but extremely stupid. This is the balance.”
The maid was not convinced initially, but she was obviously convinced by this argument.
Gu Nian fell asleep as soon as she heard their quarrel. At this time, she finally regained her strength and asked the doctor: “Then he is fine, right?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Okay, I’ll trouble you this time.” Gu Nian stood up and walked to the man who was leaning under the tree with his eyes closed. After she stopped, she whispered, “Xiu.”
“…”
The long-haired beauty leaning in front of the tree suddenly opened his eyes. The brown eyes like glass shone like stars in the light cast between the leaves.
This name was told to Gu Nian by himself the day after he was able to speak.
Gu Nian bent down and spoke softly: “We are about to enter the territory of the evil dragon. There are many monsters there. They all obey the dragon’s orders, so every step will be very dangerous.”
Xiu nodded slowly.
Gu Nian: “For your safety, I suggest you stop here. If I come back, then I will take you back to my palace. If I don’t, then my subordinates will also take you back.”
“…”
To Gu Nian’s surprise, Xiu, who had been obeying her instructions since he was rescued, actually shook his head. Those brown eyes stared at her for a moment, and his voice was low but firm: “Together.”
Gu Nian was slightly startled: “You want to go too?”
“Um.”
“Why? It’s too dangerous inside. I’m here to conquer the evil dragon. This is my mission, but not yours.”
“Together.” Xiu repeated in a low voice. He probably knew that this persistence was not enough to convince Gu Nian. After a pause, he spoke again: “I know better than you.”
She thought about it for a while.
After a moment, she gestured in the direction of her lower body in surprise: “Do you know about the evil dragon territory?”
Xiu shook his head.
Gu Nian was confused.
Xiu corrected him word by word: “Dragon City.”
Gu Nian thought blankly for a few seconds and suddenly asked: “You mean, this is not called the Evil Dragon Territory, but the real name is Dragon City?”
Xiu showed a gentle smile and nodded.
This was the first time Gu Nian had heard of this name. Seeing that Xiu’s reaction didn’t seem to be fake, and also there was no need for him to deceive her on this issue.
Gu Nian: “You are very familiar with the Evil Dragon Territory… and this Dragon City, right?”
Xiu nodded.
Gu Nian: “Then you also know how to pass through the evil dragon’s territory and reach the legendary evil dragon’s castle?”
Xiu thought for a moment and nodded again.
Gu Nian was extremely pleasantly surprised.
The territory of the evil dragon was mysterious and dangerous. It was a restricted area for the human race. Those who could come here were already the bravest ones in a hundred, but the vast majority of people were unable to escape from it alive.
The few who managed to came out alive had no idea how they came out, let alone understand.
If someone was familiar with the evil dragon’s territory and could lead them through this dangerous territory to the evil dragon’s castle with minimal casualties, then the success of their mission may be maximized.
“You can draw the map for us,” Gu Nian hesitated to change her words under the other party’s firm gaze, “Or do you really want to go with us?”
“Um.”
“It will be very dangerous. Even if you are familiar with the dragon territory, the dragon in the castle is also the most dangerous creature.”
After Xiu fell silent, he whispered: “It fell asleep.”
Gu Nian was startled. After a moment, she stood up in surprise and asked, “You mean, that evil dragon has fallen into a deep sleep now?”
“Um.”
“Then we must hurry up and get to the Dragon Castle before it wakes up again – you wait for me here, and I will inform the guard team to break camp and set off immediately!”
Gu Nian turned around and was about to walk towards the tent area. Just as she had taken a few steps, Xiu’s low voice suddenly sounded behind her.
“Your Highness.”
“Um?”
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was wearing light armor, turned around. She was standing under the backlit tree with a smile on her face.
Xiu looked at her for a while: “Do you want to kill it?”
Gu Nian thought for a while and nodded: “The human race has no choice.”
Complete silence.
Gu Nian turned back hesitantly: “Are you…”
“I will help you.”
“?”
Gu Nian was startled.
She saw as facing the light behind her, the man under the tree stood up, his long hair flickering slightly behind him, and the smile in his eyes turning gentle.
“I’ll help you, kill it.”
“After you kill it, take me back to the palace… Your Highness.”
