Chapter 52: The Mysterious Gift

"What are you two doing?"

Hearing the voice, the two looked over. Princess Anyao had actually walked out of the room. Her face was deathly pale, and she leaned weakly against the doorframe.

Si Hongxi quickly stepped forward to support Anyao and said with concern, "Why did you come out? Don't catch a cold!"

"I could hear you two laughing and joking from inside the room!" Princess Anyao glanced at Wan Ruo and asked crossly, "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, if Lord Baichen sees you like this, he'll get angry again!" Wanzi said huffily from the side.

Wan Ruo felt a bit embarrassed and was about to explain when Si Hongxi frowned slightly and scolded, "Anyao! Who gave you the right to talk to her like that? ... She's your savior!"

Savior? It can't be that serious. The compliment is too much. Wan Ruo also felt a bit embarrassed hearing this!

Anyao was even more incredulous and said blankly, "What savior? What did I need her to save me from? It's so strange!"

Si Hongxi was about to explain further when Wan Ruo quickly stopped him and then said, "It's not as serious as the prince said. Oh, this is the snack I made for you. You can have a try. I don't know if it suits your taste!"

"When did it become your turn to butt in when I'm talking to Brother Hongxi? You're so rude!" Anyao scolded.

"Anyao! Don't go too far!" Si Hongxi protected Wan Ruo.

But the more Si Hongxi did this, the less Anyao could accept it. She got even angrier and said aggrievedly, "Brother Hongxi, you're scolding me for her sake!"

Then she glared at Wan Ruo viciously and shouted, "It's all your fault!" With that, she knocked the snack to the ground!

At this moment, Si Hongxi couldn't bear it anymore. "Anyao, you're so willful. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Miss Ruo Ruo made this snack for you personally, and you just trample on it like this! You really disappoint me!"

"It's okay, it's okay! It doesn't matter!" Wan Ruo quickly stepped forward to comfort Si Hongxi. He was so excited that Wan Ruo was at a loss.

"Miss Ruo Ruo, it seems this place isn't suitable to stay for long. How about leaving quickly?" Wanzi suggested seeing the situation.

Well! Actually, Wan Ruo thought the same. She frowned slightly. What were these two going to do next?

They saw Si Hongxi pick up the scattered snacks on the ground, hold them in his hand, and take a bite.

"Brother Hongxi, you..." Anyao looked at Si Hongxi in disbelief.

"This is dirty. What are you doing? Don't eat it!" Wan Ruo quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Looking at Si Hongxi, Anyao was a bit confused. He had never been like this before. It seemed she really angered him!

Anyao had no choice but to pick up the snacks on the ground one by one.

She said aggrievedly, "Brother Hongxi, I know I was wrong. But I'm still sick, and you're treating me like this..." After saying that, she burst into tears and slumped on the ground.

Seeing this, Wan Ruo was a bit worried. After all, the princess was still sick. She quickly kicked Si Hongxi and gave him a look, signaling him to comfort her quickly!

"Princess, maybe it's all my fault. But if you don't like these snacks, it's okay not to eat them. You're still weak. Don't cry anymore!" Wan Ruo said concernedly.

Si Hongxi also bent down, gently stroked her head, and said dotingly, "Okay, it's all brother's fault. I was too harsh. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"

Princess Anyao looked up with a wronged face. Big tears rolled down one by one!

Then she oddly picked up a piece of snack, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.

Wan Ruo was a bit nervous and looked at her worriedly.

"Really, the snack made by Miss Ruo Ruo is super delicious!" Wanzi flattered from the side.

Princess Anyao chewed the snack in her mouth, savored it carefully, and then swallowed it. Magically, she felt extremely relaxed in her body, and her mood also calmed down a lot!

She wiped away her tears and finally showed a smile. She said, "Thank you. I was impolite just now. It's really delicious! I feel so much more relaxed physically and mentally!"

"Really? That's great!" Wan Ruo also relaxed a lot.

Princess Anyao seemed to have changed her attitude towards Wan Ruo. After an afternoon of heart - to - heart talks, Anyao also became more open - minded about the marriage alliance. The more they talked, the more she liked Wan Ruo. Finally, she even became a little fan!

She was a bit reluctant to part when Wan Ruo left.

This sudden change caught Wan Ruo off guard. She felt flattered!

In the evening, Si Hongxi sent Wan Ruo to Shananfang.

"Oh no, I have a bad feeling. Danger is approaching! Miss Ruo Ruo, I'll leave first!" After saying that, Wanzi disappeared with a whoosh.

Wan Ruo was still confused. When she got off the carriage, she saw that Baichen had already come back.

She looked at Si Hongxi's departing carriage and quickly explained, "Um, I went to the palace to visit Princess Anyao and brought her some snacks. He just sent me back..."

"Come in with me!" Baichen said coldly.

Hearing this, what was this devil going to do again?

Wan Ruo felt a bit panicked and nervously followed him in.

In the backyard, Baichen looked at Wan Ruo and said, "Don't you want to learn magic? This is for you!"

Baichen stretched out his palm. Suddenly, something appeared above it, emitting a transparent blue light. It was square. What was this?

In an instant, it turned into a book, *The Secret Transmission of Divine Talismans and Spiritual Spells*. He handed it to Wan Ruo. "This is a book for practicing talismans. You can learn from it first!"

Wan Ruo was very surprised. She took the book and opened it. There were drawings of various talismans inside!

Baichen held Wan Ruo's hand. With a "bang", the book disappeared.

"Why did it disappear?" Wan Ruo asked in surprise.

With another "bang", the book appeared again.

Wan Ruo looked at Baichen and asked in wonder, "What's going on?"

"Try it yourself," Baichen said. "Concentrate and think about putting it away!"

With a "bang", the book disappeared again.

Wan Ruo was overjoyed and said happily, "It's really amazing. Then what?"

"Concentrate again and think about it appearing!" Baichen guided.

Wan Ruo did as he said. With a "bang", the book appeared again. It was really interesting. She couldn't wait to open the book and see the content!

"You have such a magical treasure. Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Wan Ruo asked excitedly.

Baichen would never tell her that he got this from Granny Hu San.

He even worked as a laborer for Granny Hu San for an afternoon and just came back!

"Then I'll go practice now?" Wan Ruo happily turned around and was about to leave.

Baichen: "..."

Baichen grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back. "Come back! You want to leave after taking my thing?"

Baichen stared at Wan Ruo's eyes with a mischievous look.

Oh my god! This is so scary! Sure enough, there's no free lunch in the world!

"Then what do you want?" Wan Ruo said helplessly.
