"Let's go, the latest chapter! Come home with me."
"Yes, Master."
Luo Bingbing looked at the sky, which was about to brighten, and took Shadowless's hand, using her Ability to return directly to the room.
Shadowless clearly remembered being in the air above that forest, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself brought into a room by his master. All the wounds on his body, both big and small, had vanished, making it seem as if he had never been injured at all. A storm of surprise surged within him, but he maintained a facade of calm. Such an ability was something he had never even heard of, let alone seen; only legendary beings like fairies, demons, or spirits possessed such powers. Could it be that his master was truly not an ordinary person...
While Shadowless was lost in thought, he heard Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice beside him.
"Put away those messy thoughts. This is my Ability, similar to martial arts; there's no need to be alarmed." Luo Bingbing shot him a glare and continued, "Your martial arts are still too weak and need improvement. From now on, you will practice with me every night."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing say that his martial arts were weak, Shadowless couldn't help but clench his fists. However, he was indeed saved by Luo Bingbing and did not want to remain weak; he wanted to become strong. Only by becoming stronger could he protect his master well. His bright eyes sparkled with determination; he wanted to be a strong warrior.
"This is my room; you can rest on the lounge chair."
"Yes, Master."
The clock continued to tick, and time flowed endlessly, never pausing for anyone.
The bright red sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the earth. The Nursemaid had long been standing at Luo Bingbing's door with toiletries in hand, waiting for her young mistress to open the door.
Finally, with a creak, the door opened. When the Nursemaid saw that it was a handsome young man who opened the door, she was so shocked that she almost screamed; her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg inside. Just as the Nursemaid was about to scream, Luo Bingbing called her in.
As soon as she entered, the Nursemaid hurriedly asked, "Little Princess, are you alright? How could there be a man in your chamber?"
"Nursemaid, don't panic. I'm fine. Have you forgotten? Stay calm, I assure you, I will explain everything."
Once the storm of anxiety within the Nursemaid settled, Luo Bingbing slowly began to explain. "Nursemaid, he is Shadowless, the one I saved yesterday. He will stay with us and protect us from the shadows. Please take him downstairs to freshen up and help him prepare a room. For now, let's keep his presence a secret from everyone else in the palace."
"Yes, Little Princess."
The Nursemaid turned to Shadowless and said, "Young Master Shadowless, please follow me."
With a heart full of unease, Shadowless left Luo Bingbing's room and followed the Nursemaid downstairs. He realized that his master was no ordinary child but rather a princess of the Silver Moon Kingdom. However, regardless of her identity, his loyalty would remain unchanged.
Night fell, the origin of darkness.
A bright moon hung high in the night sky. Countless stars were scattered across the dark canvas, some shining brightly while others dimmed, resembling countless eyes that could speak.
Under the moonlight, the purple bamboo swayed gently in the wind, its leaves dancing as shadows flickered on the ground.
In the bamboo grove, Luo Bingbing and Shadowless were practicing martial arts together. They exchanged blows back and forth, having already gone through over a thousand moves. Luo Bingbing did not use her abilities, nor did Shadowless employ his internal energy; they sparred barehanded, alternating between offense and defense.
Suddenly, Luo Bingbing said, "Show me your true strength; there's no need to hold back." She knew that Shadowless's abilities were far beyond what he had displayed so far since she herself was only using thirty percent of her power.
"Understood; I will give it my all."
They continued training without either of them calling for a break or stopping. The more they fought, the more passive Shadowless became; he felt increasingly uncertain and alarmed. His master's martial skills were unlike anything he had ever seen or heard of before—seemingly formless yet ever-changing, each move lethal and aimed at vital points, making it difficult to defend against. However, this was to be expected. After all, Luo Bingbing was not only a Taekwondo expert in the Twenty-First Century but also a top-tier practitioner in Judo, Karate, and Chinese Kung Fu. Having mastered the essence of martial arts from around the world made her incomparable to these old relics.
Luo Bingbing also learned a lot of practical experience during the battles, improving herself. Unknowingly, they entered a state of complete immersion.
Perhaps it became second nature; when the eastern sky began to brighten, Luo Bingbing stopped and said, "It's time to go back."
Since it was still early and they had ample time to return, they leisurely walked through the air as if strolling on clouds. Fortunately, everyone was still asleep at home; if anyone saw their black and white figures floating in the air, they would surely panic, thinking that the Soul Reaper from the underworld had arrived.
Luo Bingbing leaned against the window and saw that every corner of the courtyard was bathed in golden sunlight. The flowers in the flowerbed, overwhelmed by such brilliant sunlight, seemed to shy away.
She was extremely bored; she had finished reading all the books in her study and had nothing else to do. She thought about how nice it would be if she were still in the Twenty-First Century! She would never feel bored.
Suddenly, she remembered the sheet of music and score labeled Heartless Zither that she had seen a few days ago in the compartment. It looked quite impressive. Since she wasn't sure about it, she could ask Shadowless!
With a snap of her fingers, Shadowless appeared. Shadowless respectfully stood behind her and said, "My lady, what are your orders?"
"Shadowless, do you know about the Heartless Zither?"
"I have heard of it but have never seen it. It is said to have disappeared with Heartless Elder over a hundred years ago. Rumor has it that it vanished in Wuji Valley."
"Can you find it?"
"This... I will take my leave to investigate." After saying that, Shadowless immediately set off to look into it.
As soon as Shadowless left, Luo Bingbing stepped out as well. She found herself something to do that would both pass the time and lift her spirits: playing a game of cat and mouse. As for who was the cat and who was the mouse, that was self-evident. First, she would target those blind servants!
Not knowing where the Account Room was located, she asked Nursemaid to take her there. They passed through winding corridors, crossed several white jade arch bridges, walked past many peculiar rock formations, and saw elegant yet vibrant lotus flowers along with countless unknown small fish. They also encountered many blind Dog Servants and maids who not only failed to bow upon seeing Luo Bingbing but also gossiped behind her back with no respect whatsoever. Of course, for those who gossiped, she secretly punished them using her Ability.
After winding through several turns, they finally arrived at the small courtyard of the Account Room. The main door was wide open, and before they reached it, they could hear the clattering sound of counting beads coming from inside.
Upon entering the room, they saw two people inside. A young assistant was organizing the account books, while a man in a gray robe, around forty years old, who appeared to be an Accountant, was continuously manipulating the counting beads. With a sharp-featured face, he did not even look up when he noticed their presence and said directly, "What are you doing here? This is not a place for you. Get out quickly."
Luo Bingbing immediately replied, "Oh, really? We can't come here? Is this your home? Or do you have the final say?"
Hearing her question, the Accountant looked up in surprise, staring at her as he stammered, "Y-You... you can talk? You're not mute?" He pointed at Luo Bingbing with his finger.
Seeing him point at her made Luo Bingbing very displeased; she hated it when others pointed at her. With a light flick of her hand, the Accountant let out a terrified scream. His hands fell to the ground at the wrists, blood not only staining his sleeves but also soaking a table full of papers. In pain, he rolled on the ground, screaming and cursing, "Ah... you... you little bitch! You're not human! The... the princess won't let you go; you won't have... a good ending... ah..."
Luo Bingbing was furious upon hearing his words; the Accountant had crossed her bottom line. Before anyone could comprehend what had happened, she had already appeared beside the Accountant in the blink of an eye. Standing like a little queen with one foot on the ground and the other on the Accountant's head, she had a habit: the happier she smiled, the more she wanted to kill. With a slight smirk and an evil grin, she said, "You're too noisy!" After saying that, she stomped down hard, creating a large pit in the ground while the Accountant's head was buried within it, surrounded by some milky brain fluid. Poor Accountant was thus kicked off to Yama King's Hall by Luo Bingbing!
The two spectators in the room were terrified; the young assistant was so scared that he wet his pants and trembled uncontrollably. The Nursemaid was slightly better off but still pale-faced as she reminded herself: "The Little Princess is not wrong; they have gone too far. They shouldn't treat the Little Princess this way; it's all their own doing. The Princess is a good person..." She worried about what punishment would befall them if the princess found out.
Luo Bingbing knew that her actions would make her seem cruel, but she was not someone who would compromise herself. Anyone who dared to cross her bottom line would pay with their life; no one could defy her.
She turned to the Nursemaid and asked, "Nursemaid, are you scared?"
The Nursemaid snapped back to reality upon hearing her voice and hurried over to pick her up, saying, "Nursemaid is not afraid; Nursemaid will always stay by Little Princess's side. However, let's return to Piaoyun Pavilion first. Shadowless is there; even if the princess comes, we won't be afraid with him protecting you."
