After Emperor Bei Chen gave the coachman enough money, the coachman drove the carriage back to Qingxiao Nation.
"Hong Zhuang, let's go," Emperor Bei Chen said.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang turned her head and saw the golden sunlight shining on Emperor Bei Chen's tall figure. He looked like a character stepping out of a painting, handsome and elegant.
Emperor Bei Chen walked up to Bai Li Hong Zhuang, and his shadow enveloped her. His eyes, as radiant as stars, twinkled with a hint of a smile, warm as the wind.
Naturally, his large hand held Bai Li Hong Zhuang's small hand as they walked toward the city.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang held Emperor Bei Chen's hand. His palm, not delicate but with a slight callus from wielding a sword for years, gave her an indescribable sense of security.
"There are flying beasts in this Qishui City. We'll go there later," Emperor Bei Chen said, shifting his gaze to Bai Li Hong Zhuang, his smile bright and sunny.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang tilted her head back and smiled brightly like a flower. "Okay."
Since she started following Emperor Bei Chen, he had already made all the arrangements for their journey.
In the past, she had to bear everything on her own, but now, having a man who could warm her heart and take care of everything for her, she felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
"We've been sitting in the carriage for so many days. I'm sure you're tired. Let's go to a restaurant for lunch, then stroll around Qishui City. Have a good rest tonight, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow. How does that sound?" Emperor Bei Chen asked softly. They had been sitting in the carriage all this time, while Bai Li Hong Zhuang had been resting in bed with her broken ribs. It would be beneficial for her to walk around and stretch her muscles.
"I'll follow your lead," Bai Li Hong Zhuang replied without hesitation.
She understood why Emperor Bei Chen made this decision. However, just as Emperor Bei Chen thought, lying down for so many days had made her feel uncomfortable all over. Now that her injuries were no longer a concern, she wanted to move around.
"Food, food, food!" Little Black and Little White clapped their hands, their faces filled with excitement.
They didn't have much interest in anything else, but they were always enthusiastic about food.
The lively sounds of vendors selling their goods on both sides of the street entered Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Emperor Bei Chen's ears.
They had been traveling through the forest for the past few days, surrounded by silence. Now, hearing such lively sounds lifted their spirits.
Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Emperor Bei Chen casually entered a restaurant. As soon as they walked in, the rich aroma of food and drinks greeted them, whetting their appetites.
The people who were having their meals looked at Bai Li Hong Zhuang and Emperor Bei Chen with a touch of amazement in their eyes.
"Wow, these two look like characters stepping out of a painting. I've never seen such good-looking people before."
"Just by looking at them, you can tell they're not ordinary. They must be rich and noble. They really make a perfect couple."
"We've never seen such beautiful people in Qishui City before."
Emperor Bei Chen requested a private room from the waiter and walked with Bai Li Hong Zhuang to the second floor. Little Black and Little White were already very hungry, so they could eat without any restraints in the private room.
After spending this time together, Emperor Bei Chen had a good understanding of the personalities of these two contract beasts.
