Chapter 1212： Empire Princess

The figure of the person in the dark walked in, Xu Qinghong's figure trembled slightly, she closed her eyes subconsciously, and hugged her body tightly.

"Heh, am I that scary?" A gentle voice came to Xu Qinghong's ear with a light smile.

There was a burst of joy in her heart, and she immediately opened her eyes, and the person in front of her was undoubtedly Lu Chen.

At this time, Lu Chen's trousers were a little wet, he was holding a torch in his left hand, and a fish in his right hand, looking at her with a slight smile on his face.

"This girl is not afraid... It's just... it's a bit cold at night." Xu Qinghong pursed the corner of her mouth, glanced at Lu Chen and said.

After hearing Xu Qinghong's words, Lu Chen smiled slightly and didn't say much. He walked aside, lit a bonfire, sat by the fire, and roasted the fish in his hands.

Not long after, the scent of grilled fish diffused towards the surroundings, and Xu Qinghong's stomach couldn't help making a gurgling noise again.

She stood up quietly, slowly approached Lu Chen, and sat down by the fire, staring at the flames in front of her, spinning the fragrant grilled fish.

"It's not ready yet, you have to wait..." Lu Chen looked at Xu Qinghong's appearance, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

This woman was able to sit in a royal-sized carriage, and she should have a good status in the imperial capital. I don't know why she was so gluttonous.

"Where did your torch come from?" Xu Qinghong only reacted at this time. The reason why she thought that the person was not Lu Chen was because of this.

"Because, I may be an immortal." Lu Chen looked at the flames jumping ahead, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Since that day in the small town liquor, the picture scroll in his hand appeared strangely, and something gradually appeared in his mind, like a force that had been in the dust for a long time, and it was slowly waking up at this time.

"Hmph, if you were really an immortal, we wouldn't end up like this!" Xu Qinghong gave Lu Chen a look, the expression on his face was obviously unbelieving.

Although Lu Chen displayed extraordinary aura in the bandit cottage, she didn't see the blow that killed the one-eyed man in the end, and she didn't believe Lu Chen for granted.

Lu Chen chuckled lightly, without explaining too much. He was still a little confused now, maybe he could solve the doubts in his heart only after he arrived in the imperial capital.

"Have you lived in the imperial capital since you were young? What is it like there?" Lu Chen gently lifted his arm and removed the grilled fish from the fire. The fragrance of the fish suddenly spread.

Xu Qinghong didn't seem to hear Lu Chen's words. Her eyes were staring at the grilled fish in front of her at this time, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but squeeze lightly.

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled bitterly on his face, retracted his arm and handed the grilled fish to the person beside him.

"Thanks...thank you." After Xu Qinghong finished speaking, he quickly took the grilled fish and took a bite.

The fish that had just been grilled was naturally a bit hot, and her complexion instantly turned red, but she never let go.

Under Lu Chen's horrified gaze, a grilled fish about half a catty in size was swept away by someone beside him.

After eating, Xu Qinghong looked at the grilled fish skeleton in her hand, as if remembering that Lu Chen beside her hadn't eaten it yet, her pretty face flushed, and the expression on her face was a little embarrassed.

"This...I'm really hungry, and the fish you grilled is delicious." Xu Qinghong bit her lip and said softly.

Lu Chen touched his forehead, took a deep breath and said, "I'm not hungry yet. I have to go on my way tomorrow. You can rest for a while."

Xu Qinghong nodded slightly, but did not fall asleep. She took out a cyan-light wrist strap from her cuff, and then handed it to Lu Chen.

This wrist strap is very strange. I don't know what material it is woven from. It glows with a faint blue light in the middle of the night, making people know at a glance that it is not a normal thing.

"This was given to me by my father on my birthday, and now it is given to you." Xu Qinghong's face was reddish, staring at Lu Chen slowly and said.

When Lu Chen saw the blue light, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but it was also introverted for an instant. There was a trance in his mind.

He did not reach out to take the rope. After hearing Xu Qinghong's words, he also instantly understood the identity of this woman.

"Are you the princess of the imperial royal family?" Lu Chen looked calm and asked Xu Qinghong in a low voice.

Xu Qinghong nodded slightly, but shook her head again. Her palm was never retracted, and a complex color appeared on her face.

"My father is indeed the king of the empire, but my mother is a commoner. Although he lives in the imperial capital, he is not in the imperial city and cannot be regarded as a princess." Xu Qinghong spoke in a low voice and informed Lu Chen of his life experience.

After she finished speaking, the outstretched arm never retracted, quietly staring at the person in front of her, with a faint look of expectation on her face.

After Lu Chen was silent for a while, he stretched out his hand to take the wrist strap from the person beside him, and when he was actually put it in the cuff, Xu Qinghong's voice suddenly came from his ear again.

"Can you wear it on your wrist? This is the only gift from my father." Xu Qinghong's face was reddish, and his face was full of expectation.

Lu Chen hesitated a little when he heard the words, and after thinking about it for a while, he still put the weird blue rope on his wrist.

"Thank you." Xu Qinghong had a smile on her face, and after taking a deep, hot look in front of her eyes, she turned and walked to the blue stone, slowly closing her eyes.

Lu Chen didn't think much, he was also sitting by the fire, slightly closed his eyes and waited for the night to pass.

At the moment when he closed his eyes, Lu Chen didn't notice, the picture scroll beside him flashed white again, sometimes dazzling and sometimes dim.

And the blue rope on Lu Chen's wrist also glowed with faint light at the same time, as if echoing each other, it was very strange.

Time is passing quietly, and one night passes in a blink of an eye...

As the night faded, the morning came, the rising sun, and the gentle morning light, awakened the vitality of the earth.

As the sun fell into the mountains, Lu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes at this time, and his gaze swept towards the bluestone on the side subconsciously.

"Huh, she's gone?" Lu Chen frowned slightly. It stands to reason that Xu Qinghong would not leave alone.

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen stood up, his eyes swept around, but Xu Qinghong was never seen.

At this moment, his eyes flashed and he noticed the walking marks on the ground. If Lu Chen remembered that direction, it should be the official direction.

"It should have been waking up early..." Lu Chen murmured softly, without staying too much here, he just stepped towards the official road.
