Chap 4

Although this type of wine was extremely strong, it was surprisingly effective at quenching thirst and easing fatigue.
After taking a few sips, I felt my strength gradually returning.
"Thanks..." I raised an eyebrow and said to the villain in front of me.
Hmph! There’s a queen’s aura in my bones—I won’t let him bully me so easily!
He blinked, hung the wine flask back on his belt, pulled out an old folding fan from somewhere, opened it, tilted his head, and looked at me with a smile while gently waving the fan.
"Uh..." I tried to communicate with him: "Why did you throw a rock at me just now?"
Hmph, little brat, don’t you know women hold grudges?
I need to ask you why I got hit by your stone!
He closed the fan, bent down, then sat leisurely on my right, his long legs stretched out on the ground.
As he moved closer, a faint scent of orchid wafted toward me.
I squinted at his lifted leg and the robe draped down beside it.
My heart started pounding.
If only I could see more clearly beneath that robe…
Suddenly, I realized my nosebleed had just stopped, and I couldn’t let my imagination run wild.
I quickly turned my gaze to the blue sky.
Hmm, lovely weather.
He looked at me, chuckled, and said, “I wanted to see if you were human or a ghost.”
Pfft! I nearly coughed up blood!
A lively, clever, mischievous, and adorable girl like me, lying right in front of him, and he suspected I was a ghost?
Well… come to think of it, when I just climbed up from the water with my hair all loose, I probably did look pretty scary—like a ghost girl.
“So, do you know now whether I’m human or not?” If I wasn’t too weak to move, I’d really give him a fright!
The corner of his mouth curled into a charming smile: “If you’re having a nosebleed, I’d say definitely human.”
Oh my god, how embarrassing.
My perverted nature—something I’ve kept so well hidden—was accidentally exposed right in front of a stranger.
“Haha…” I gave a fake laugh and quickly changed the subject: “So, where is this place?”
“East Mountain.”
“East Mountain?”
“Yanla Lake.”
“Yanla Lake?”
“That’s right.”
My mind spun.
His answers were far too simple.
It was the first time I’d heard of both places, and I still had no idea where I was.
I had to ask more patiently: “I’m guessing you’re also a tourist and not too familiar with the area. Haha… do you know which country and city this is?”
His eyes flickered with surprise as he stared at me for a while, then said: “This is the Bao-Nichi Kingdom.”
“What kingdom?”
He repeated, “The Bao-Nichi Kingdom.”
Bao-Nichi Kingdom… Oh wow, listen to that name—so harmonious.
If a country’s economy, culture, sports, entertainment, and other public services haven’t fully developed yet, at least it ensures people’s basic physical needs are met first.
What a humanitarian country! I love it!
“The Bao-Nichi Kingdom, what a wonderful place!” My thoughts started to run wild, a sly smile appeared at the corner of my lips, and a dreamy gleam shimmered in my eyes.
“Ah,” the handsome, long-legged man seemed a little shaken by my expression. He cleared his throat and asked, frowning, “Why would you ask such a thing? Did water from Yanla Lake get into your head? Why would you even ask that? Aren’t you wearing the maid uniform from Princess Liyang’s manor?”
I glared at him in annoyance—you’re the one with water in your brain!
Your whole family has water in their brains!
