FRGNM -Chapter 324 Welcoming the Little Princess

In this world, no one dared to insult their parents, no one dared to show them disrespect! The person in front of them was courting death!

Yuan Mengmeng was intimidated by their overwhelming aura and instinctively shivered. She shouted angrily, “What do you two want?! I am His Majesty’s goddaughter, the little princess! If you want to touch me, you’ll have to ask the guards behind me!”

Immediately, two guards behind her rushed forward to block Yizhui and Yimeng. But they frowned slightly—they could sense the aura of these two children. These little brats were on the verge of breaking into Blue-rank power! The guards, as protectors of Yuan Mengmeng, were only at Green-rank. What could they do against them?

“Young master, young miss, you should understand the little princess’s status—please stop!” one of the guards said, frowning. If they tried to fight these two, they might not even withstand a single move before being thrown away.

For now, their only leverage was the issue of status, hoping to calm the children down.

“Clang!”

But before the words even sank in, a shadow appeared like a phantom, and in an instant, both guards were tossed aside. Clapping her hands lightly, Ling Ruoxi looked at the children and casually shrugged. “Go ahead. Matters between children, we elders will not interfere. Those two were far too noisy, so I just gave them a little lesson.”

“Mother!” Yizhui and Yimeng were momentarily stunned, but their hearts warmed. Their parents… always loved and protected them, didn’t they?

Yuan Mengmeng’s face changed drastically. She quickly retreated toward the door, screaming, “You two little brats, bastards, wretches! What are you trying to do? I’m the little princess! Are you trying to disrespect me? Guards! Help! Assault! Rape!”

Her shrill, pig-like cries drew the attention of everyone around. The dignified princess, terrified, fled while her clothes became disheveled in her panic.

Yet the two children in front of her hadn’t touched her once—it was all her own performance.

“My heavens, Mengmeng, what’s wrong with you?!” a woman inside the jewelry shop heard the commotion outside. She peeked out and saw her daughter tumbling on the ground.

Madam Yuan immediately rushed out. “Mengmeng, my daughter! What happened? What are you wild children doing? How dare you disrespect the Princess of Duan Yun Kingdom in broad daylight?!”

“It’s Madam Yuan!” Ling Ruoxi said calmly, “Hello. I am Yizhui and Yimeng’s mother. See, this is just some roughhousing among the younger generation. Where is the disrespect? Right?” A cold smile flickered across her face.

Yizhui and Yimeng straightened their backs and said naturally, “We didn’t do anything to her. She was causing trouble herself!”

A mere glance from a fighter of their level was enough to completely overpower Yuan Mengmeng.

Madam Yuan’s lips twitched violently as she roared, her eyebrows shooting upward. “What did you say?! A country bumpkin girl dares to speak nonsense and let your children run wild! Our Mengmeng is the little princess of Duan Yun Kingdom! How can you possibly be responsible for her fright?”

Ling Ruoxi said coldly, “Apologies, but the Emperor of Duan Yun Kingdom is also the godfather of Yizhui and Yimeng. Believe it or not, it’s true. With your shrewish temper, it’s surprising you became a little princess at all. I really wonder if Nangong Mo wasn’t struck in the head by a donkey when he accepted such a princess.”

No wonder such a haughty, reckless girl could rise to the top—it really was bizarre.

The surrounding crowd’s faces changed dramatically. Each person glared at Ling Ruoxi, as if they wanted to devour her. What did this woman mean by speaking like that?

Even Madam Yuan was aghast, staring at Ling Ruoxi in horror. “You—you dare openly use the Emperor’s name?! Are you courting death? Guards! Arrest this impudent girl and those wild children too! I don’t believe I need the Emperor’s permission to punish these insolent brats!”

“Stop right there!” Yizhui’s expression darkened. He stepped in front of Ling Ruoxi and Luo Mingyu. A murderous glint flashed in his black eyes. “I only tolerated you because you are the little princess, but now you’ve gone too far!”

“Oh? You say you tolerated me because I’m a princess? When have you ever tolerated me? I…” Yuan Mengmeng’s words died in her throat. A fierce long sword, formed from fighting qi, was pressed against her neck. One more step forward and the sword’s edge would pierce her.

The deep blue-green fighting qi made everyone around gasp. Who was this boy? At such a young age, already a Blue-rank fighter! Even officials could not punish someone of his rank without the Emperor’s confirmation. And such a talented fighter—this was their first time seeing one. Flattering him would be the only wise choice; only a fool would throw away such an opportunity.

“You… you bastard! Don’t think just because you’re a fighter I won’t touch you! You…” Madam Yuan nearly spat blood in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly.

“Enough noise!” A cold voice came from the street. Soldiers quickly split the crowd and stood ready with long spears. A general on horseback glared at the group in front of him.

In the Imperial City of Duan Yun Kingdom, patrolling generals maintained order.

Madam Yuan, desperate, grabbed the general. “General Huang, you’ve finally arrived! These country bumpkins dared to attack the little princess!”

“Step aside!” The man on horseback scowled, but as he glanced at Ling Ruoxi and Luo Mingyu, a flicker of recognition crossed his mind. His face changed completely.

Almost leaping from the horse, General Huang knelt on one knee, fists clasped to his chest, and performed a deep salute to Ling Ruoxi and Luo Mingyu.

Such a salute was usually reserved for the Emperor or highly powerful individuals. General Huang was a prestigious figure—he had supported Nangong Mo even before he became Emperor and had survived a major rebellion, earning great merit.

Ordinary people treated him with respect. Only an ignorant woman like Madam Yuan would shout and gesture at him. But now, no one cared about her antics—they focused on how to handle the situation.

Gasping, Yuan Mengmeng realized the people in front of her were powerful allies of her godfather, the Emperor, and would never give her face. Yet now, how could they kneel before these lowly children?

“Welcome, Holy Lord! Welcome, Holy Daughter!” The deep, resounding voice echoed. The man on the ground slowly lifted his head, eyes flashing with unwavering determination as he looked at the two before him.

He remembered that in the great battle, these two had turned the tide. They might forget everyone else, but they would never forget the ones who saved them from certain death! Supporting the Emperor, resisting the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon—the loyal ministers of today all knew them.

“Holy Lord! Holy Daughter!”

The words struck like a hammer in everyone’s heart. In that instant, all memories awoke. The two who had protected the city and set up barriers had returned!

“Welcome, Holy Lord! Welcome, Holy Daughter!”

The powerful voices echoed as all the surrounding citizens knelt. The faces in their memories overlapped with the two before them.

Yes—it was them. The benefactors who had once saved them!

“You… you…” Madam Yuan trembled, unable to speak. How could she have imagined that the origins of these wild children were so grand? Her eyes flared as she screamed inwardly—she refused to believe these were truly the Holy Lord and Holy Daughter!

General Huang’s face darkened. His large hand suddenly gripped Madam Yuan’s neck. He growled, “Do you think the Emperor doesn’t know your vile schemes? Using Lord Yuan’s life to get a title? The real cause of Lord Yuan’s death was excessive blood loss, not that sword! You’d better behave, or you’d already be in the Celestial Prison!”

Madam Yuan froze. She had never imagined that such a secret would be known to the Emperor and his ministers. She realized that the authority she had relied on her life to claim was actually scorned by others.

Even ordinary officials aside, in Duan Yun Kingdom, no minister would take her seriously. So… they had always known everything!

Yuan Mengmeng knew nothing. Her pitiful eyes welled up as she choked, “Mother, what is he saying? What does he mean?!”

“Nothing, nothing. Let’s go!” Madam Yuan’s face changed drastically. She hurriedly dragged Yuan Mengmeng away. Continuing the argument would achieve nothing. Moreover, she had connections with General Huang.

But Yuan Mengmeng refused to leave. Used to getting her way, she could not give in. Seeing her authority threatened, she glared and shouted, “Why leave? I’m asking you! What does he mean that my father died of blood loss? My father clearly died defending my godfather from a sword! How dare he twist the facts and slander us?!”
