Ye Fan walked over speechlessly and helped up the princess who was lying on the ground. "Are you okay?"
If it were in a past life, he would have already killed Grandma Li and the princess by now.
The kind where even their ashes would have been scattered.
After all, the dignity of a strong individual cannot be challenged!
However, he was now just a fish lying flat, and even rolling over would only be to help the other side get its calcium.
He wouldn't bother squabbling with a young girl and a little maid.
What's more, this little maid was no different from his granddaughter in his eyes.
"Hiss... it hurts so much..." After being helped up, the princess touched the large bump on her head with a pained expression. "Thank you..."
Mid-sentence, she suddenly broke free from Ye Fan.
"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you're acting so insincerely!" the princess said indignantly, pointing at Ye Fan. "I'm telling you, you're finished!"
How dare he hit the princess on the head, he must be severely punished!!!
"Little girl, you're injured." The Second Elder and Master Xie Yan had somehow appeared and looked at the princess seriously. "I have a special healing medicine here." The Second Elder handed her a porcelain bottle. "Apply it, and you'll be well."
Ye Fan had originally intended to stop them.
After all, the Second Elder's pills were legendary; they could even cause problems for someone who was healthy!
The Second Elder himself was a prime example of this – he had essentially turned himself into a powerhouse of the mental type.
However, when he heard it was for external use, Ye Fan didn't say anything.
Although the Second Elder's pills were terrifying, they were all for internal consumption.
This kind of external healing medicine had never caused any trouble and had received consistent praise from everyone in the Purple Cloud Sect.
"I don't want to use your things!" the princess replied indignantly. "It's useless to be so insincere here. I'm telling you all, you're finished!"
"The Second Elder's medicine is truly effective," Master Xie Yan said seriously to the princess. "I've used it several times, and the effect is very good."
Just as the princess was about to retort, her body instinctively shivered...
She hadn't paid much attention when the Second Elder and Master Xie Yan were squatting and eating meat earlier.
This was the first time she had made eye contact with Master Xie Yan since entering the courtyard.
His right eyeball remained still, staring at her, while his left eyeball darted around wildly.
Up and down.
Left and right.
The frequency was astonishingly high!
Her Highness the Princess was almost scared to tears!
Heavens!
What kind of monstrous being was this?!
Why was he so terrifying!
"Master Xie Yan, I've told you many times," the Second Elder complained, giving him a look. "Don't shake your left eye so quickly when it's not necessary. See, you've scared the little girl."
"I don't want to either," Master Xie Yan said with a wronged expression. "But I can't control it..."
"Little girl, I'm really not a bad person." Master Xie Yan quickly tried to prove his innocence. "And also, this medicine is truly effective."
With Master Xie Yan's efforts to restrain himself, the frequency of his left eyeball's movement finally slowed down.
If it had been shaking a hundred times a second before, it was now at most ten times.
However, the princess still found it terrifying, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to collapse.
"Okay..." The princess dejectedly took the porcelain bottle, daring not to meet Master Xie Yan's gaze again.
At this moment, all her anger and arrogance vanished.
Because she suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.
If she didn't take the porcelain bottle, they might torment her.
For example, they might tie her up and force her to stare into the eyes of this terrifying old man...
Under the expectant gazes of Ye Fan and the two elders, Her Highness the Princess nervously opened the lid of the porcelain bottle.
After getting some ointment on her finger, she smeared it onto the large bump on her head.
"Hiss..."
The princess gasped as she applied the ointment to her head.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
...
After rubbing for three rounds, the princess's large eyes suddenly lit up!
It really didn't hurt anymore?!
Not only did it not hurt, but the bump had also disappeared!
She had used medicine from the imperial alchemist grandpas before, but none of them had such a magical effect!
It was simply miraculous!
"Old grandpa, your medicine is amazing!" the princess said admiringly to the Second Elder. "I'm all better now!"
"Junior brother," the Second Senior Sister's voice called out. "We're out of meat."
"Alright, I'll be right there." Before leaving, Ye Fan asked the princess.
This question rekindled the princess's anger!
She finally remembered that these people in front of her were the culprits who killed her little darling!
"Hmph! I'm not going!" the princess declared indignantly.
Little Darling was her best friend, and they had eaten it right in front of her!
Just eating it wasn't enough; they even invited her to join!
It was simply inhumane!!!
You can leave!
I don't want to see you!!!
However, they had already lost in terms of combat strength, so she could only use words to maintain her last bit of stubbornness.
"Ye Fan, we haven't eaten enough either," the two elders said pitifully to Ye Fan, completely ignoring the princess beside them.
"Alright, I'll start roasting more now," Ye Fan said with a smile and turned to leave.
The princess's eyes rolled, and she followed him with a few steps.
I can't beat you now, but I can at least stop you from eating so contentedly!
The new batch of bear meat was placed on the grill, and Ye Fan skillfully flipped it.
The princess glared fiercely at Ye Fan, as if her anger could cause him any harm...
I refuse to believe that I can stare at you like this and you can still eat with a clear conscience!
However, all of this was ultimately wishful thinking, and her glaring offensive was completely useless.
On the contrary, as time passed, a rich aroma of roasted meat filled the courtyard.
Looking at the tragic fate of her little darling, Her Highness the Princess's heart shattered.
Tears, which she couldn't hold back, slowly trickled down the corners of her mouth.
"Slurp..."
The princess quickly wiped the tears from her mouth and shook her little head fiercely.
Little Darling was her best friend; how could she have such thoughts!
This must have been premeditated by them, and she had to be strong and endure it!
Ye Fan sprinkled a handful of secret spices, and the aroma in the air immediately multiplied several times.
The princess desperately held onto the high ground of her reason.
However, she sadly discovered that the enemy's offensive was too fierce, and she was about to lose her footing...
"Gulp..."
A growl from her stomach sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard.
"Since your little darling is already like this," Ye Fan handed her a piece of roasted meat. "Why don't you fill your stomach first before thinking about revenge?"
"You're dreaming!" the princess made her final struggle. "Little Darling is my best friend, and I would never eat it!"
"Didn't you eat some earlier?" Ye Fan chuckled. "How did you like the taste?"
He was now like a wicked grandfather teasing his granddaughter, amused by the princess's conflicted expression.
Ye Fan's words became the last straw.
Now, the princess's mind was filled with the aroma of the roasted meat from earlier.
Because she sadly discovered that it was indeed delicious...
The princess's heart was plunged into the greatest struggle of her life.
"Junior brother, if he doesn't want to eat, then forget it," the Second Senior Sister reached out to grab the roasted meat. "She even tried to hit you earlier; we won't give it to her!"
When a person is struggling internally, they often need a little external stimulation.
And the Second Senior Sister's words successfully became the final stimulus.
"Who said I wouldn't eat it!"
The princess snatched the roasted meat and took a big bite!
Instantly, a wondrous fragrance exploded in her mouth!
The princess squinted her eyes happily.
Heavens!
It was too delicious!
Wuwuwu...
