NovelEnglish3100 She Did It?
A stone collided with Ba Shu’s left cheek, prompting him to jump with a yelp. Instantly, it shattered the whimsical thoughts swirling in his mind.
“Who threw a rock at me?” Ba Shu turned around and saw the petite, stoic figure leaning against Crown Prince Mo’s shoulder. She held a handful of large umbrellas and gripped two sizable rocks in her hands, casting a nonchalant gaze in his direction.
He didn’t dare to provoke this woman easily.
After all, Crown Prince Mo had endured her wrath more than once, not to mention himself.
Moreover, the Chen Prince was present, so he refrained from stirring up trouble.

Ba Shu begrudgingly covered the mud marks on his face, left by the quilt, and mumbled a few forced laughs. “Heh, just a playful jest. It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Upon release, Chen Baojia collapsed onto the rain-soaked ground.
Gazing into Qiao Mu’s cold, clear eyes through the rain, Chen Baojia felt a complex mix of emotions.
She didn’t anticipate that the stoic woman she loathed the most would come to her aid in such a pitiable state.
But what did it matter?
Wasn’t it all her fault that she found herself in this situation?
If not for this plain-faced interloper suddenly appearing, stealing all the Crown Prince’s attention, and swiftly becoming the Divine Province’s Crown Prince Consort?
At this moment, she should be seated in the Eastern Palace, savoring fine wine and delicacies, living a life of comfort. She shouldn’t be vying for opportunities to get close to the Crown Prince, embarking on a challenging trek to some secret realm for adventure.
Did this person think she wanted to go to such a place? All of it was just to draw nearer to the Crown Prince. Ideally, she would create an opportunity to be alone with him.
Qiao Mu noticed Ba Shu and Chen Baojia but apathetically withdrew her gaze.
“Why did you save her?” Crown Prince Mo asked in amusement.
His little Emperor wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs.
“I don’t like it,” Qiao Mu said indifferently.

Crown Prince Mo smiled and reached out to pinch her little face. “Qiaoqiao, you’re the best maiden in the world. There’s no one better than you.”
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao raised her chin slightly and nestled in his arms. She said with a cheeky expression, “Of course, I’m a good person.”
The group followed Holy Son Miyan along the narrow path.
What should have been a journey of less than an hour stretched into nearly four hours before they finally glimpsed the end of the road.
Just as relief settled in, Holy Son Miyan’s expression darkened. “Everyone, be careful! Someone…”
Before he could finish, the wind whistled from the rock walls on both sides.
A barrage of arrows and crossbows systematically targeted their team.
Shock rippled through everyone. Save for a few panicked cries, the rest activated their defensive spiritual tools to fend off the attack.
The entire narrow path lit up momentarily as the defensive tools flickered to life, one after another.
After a brief chaotic moment, the group swiftly regrouped and sought shelter under a nearby rock.
