After Aunt Song left, Wen Li finally spoke after a long while: "Where is the woman who died last night?"

“In the empty house in the backyard,” Zhao Sicheng replied.

Wen Li got up to leave, and Xie Xiao asked, "Wen Li, where are you going?"

"Send her home."

As Wen Li stepped out the door, Wen Mingzhu's mocking voice came from behind her: "Hypocrite."

Wen Li walked alone from the front hall to the backyard. She didn't know what she was thinking; her mind was blank.

Until she pushed open the door and saw the woman's face again, her face still stained with blood, her hair disheveled. She had been attacked by demonic energy and then violently thrown to the ground, dying instantly.

Wen Li approached, wiped the bloodstains from her face with a handkerchief, and gently stroked her hair.

After a while, Wen Li pulled a red ribbon off her head, and her once neat braids fell down. She used her spiritual power to lift her up and gently coiled her disheveled hair on top of her head.

"A young girl should be pretty."

How many people in this world truly have their own lives in their own hands?

How many people are not in control of their own lives?

She then thought of the Jiang family's ancestral precepts: cultivate immortality and capture demons, for one's own sake and for the sake of others.

She has always only thought of herself, but now she wants to try to think of others.

Wen Li helped the person onto her shoulder, preparing to carry them away: "Let's go, I'll take you to find your daughter."

But as soon as she stood up, two pairs of feet appeared in front of her. Wen Li looked up and saw Shen Yingsi and Xie Xiao.

"Wen Li, we'll go with you."

After Xie Xiao finished speaking, he tried to help the woman on Wen Li's back onto his own back, but was stopped.

"I will do it myself."

Xie Xiao looked at Shen Yingsi helplessly. Shen Yingsi glanced at Wen Li and sighed, "Let her do it herself."

Wen Li walked past them and went straight ahead, with the two people following silently behind her without saying a word.

Xie Xiao, holding his sword, wanted to chat with Shen Yingsi, but he saw the way Shen Yingsi looked at Wen Li.

Xie Xiao's words remained unspoken.

What kind of look was that? Xie Xiao couldn't say; he had never seen such a look in anyone before.

Sad, cautious, focused, even humble.

They walked behind, some distance from Wen Li. People kept passing between them, and their gazes inevitably wandered elsewhere as they walked, but it seemed that only she was in his eyes.

Xie Xiao doubted that he was seeing things. That was His Highness the Crown Prince, someone even the Emperor couldn't compare to; he was truly above all others.

Why would such a distinguished person have such a look in their eyes?

That's impossible! That's impossible!

Xie Xiao glanced cautiously at Shen Yingsi, feeling somewhat flustered. His Highness likes Wen Li? When? Anyone could do it, but why her?

They arrived at Anle Medical Clinic, but the clinic was still closed despite the bright sunshine.

There was a shady spot in front of the clinic. Wen Li carried someone there first, and Xie Xiao wanted to follow, but Shen Yingsi stopped him.

That shady spot provides shade for several people standing there, but it's not enough space for a dead person to lie down.

Just one street away, Xie Xiao watched as Wen Li, along with a dead man, completely took over that shady spot.

Wen Li took out a quilt from her spatial storage, spread it on the ground, and carefully placed the woman in a shady spot. She then covered her with a cloth. After doing all this, she casually sat down on the ground, half of her body exposed to the sunlight and half in the shade.

Xie Xiao carefully observed Shen Yingsi, and saw him sigh with a helpless look in his eyes.

Xie Xiao looked at Wen Li and complained, "Why make such a big fuss? It's completely unnecessary. Not only did we carry a dead person here, but we also made her lie down. It's made you, Fourth Brother, sunbathe here."

After Xie Xiao finished speaking, he carefully observed Shen Yingsi's reaction. He actually wanted to tell his fourth brother that Wen Li was not good at all, and that he shouldn't like her. She was full of sins and would tarnish his reputation.

Seeing that he didn't react, Xie Xiao wanted to continue speaking, but Shen Yingsi's helpless and powerless voice rang in his ears.

"She just wanted to give the best to the people she cared about. Why is she always so good?"

Xie Xiao froze, his face contorted with shock, his mouth agape for a long time but unable to utter a single word.

Shen Yingsi glanced at him, amused: "What's so surprising about that?"

"you you you……"

Xie Xiao talked about "you" for a long time, but he still couldn't say that he liked her.

Shen Yingsi didn't look at Xie Xiao, but stared at a certain spot, uttered two words, and then felt a great sense of relief.

"like."

Ignoring Xie Xiao's surprise, he walked forward on his own.

There was a person lying in front of the door, but the passersby around did not seem surprised.

People die all the time these days. If you encounter a monster and die while out and about, you can only blame your bad luck.

Wen Li turned her head to one side to avoid the sunlight, but her neck would get sore after a while, so she had no choice but to change her posture occasionally to get some sunlight.

Just then, the blazing sun in front of Wen Li was suddenly blocked. She opened her eyes and saw Shen Yingsi, who was shielding her from the sun against the light.

Upon seeing him, Wen Li closed her eyes in relief and leaned against the wall for a short rest.

Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Shen Yingsi felt relieved. Only Xie Xiao, under the blazing sun behind them, was still immersed in shock and unable to break free.

Looking at Shen Yingsi, who was shading Wen Li from the sun, he was stunned for a long time. His Highness liked Wen Li. This was simply the most absurd thing in the world.

But he was actually standing there, openly saying that he liked it, which made Xie Xiao feel like it was a fantasy.

Wen Li didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes again, she still saw Shen Yingsi shielding her from the sun. She thought she would only doze off for a little while.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Ah."

Wen Li stood up and stretched, only then noticing the setting sun behind Shen Yingsi.

Wen Li asked in confusion, "Why is the sun already setting?"

When Xie Xiao saw Wen Li wake up, he walked out from under the willow tree across the street, only to hear Wen Li say this as soon as he arrived.

"You don't know how long you've been asleep?"

Xie Xiao's tone was very unfriendly, and Wen Li wondered if she had offended him.

Xie Xiao wanted to say something, but Shen Yingsi warned him with a look.

Xie Xiao thought to himself, being friends with Wen Li is fine, but being the Crown Princess is really unworthy of her. He absolutely cannot let her know that His Highness likes her.

Xie Xiao was dissatisfied, but he could only endure it.

Looking at the setting sun, Wen Li asked, "Isn't Anle coming back yet?"

Shen Yingsi replied, "Yes, not yet. But it should be soon. Anle hasn't opened for medical treatment yet today."

Sure enough, a short while later, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old led several burly men carrying herbs down the street.

Anle saw that Wen Li and the others were clearly stunned, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Put the medicine in the backyard first."

Anle spoke to the several burly men behind him, and they nodded and went inside.

Anle looked at Wenli curiously, scrutinizing her face intently, when she heard Wenli say, "Miss Anle, your mother was killed by a monster at the gate of the Zhao residence yesterday. Have we brought her to you?"
