Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11079: Chapter 11078: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

“They sent people to capture me?”

This was Zhou Youshi’s first reaction, and she immediately ran away.

When she sneaked out earlier, she had seen this group of experts. They were all guards in charge of guarding the palace.

Originally, the Fishing Emperor was their master. Now that the Fishing Emperor was dead, they did not scatter like birds and beasts. Instead, they stayed behind.

The idea was very simple. No matter who took the throne, they would still have to work for the people below.

So even now, Lin Yi hadn’t summoned them. These people were still cautious and conscientious, and they even put in more effort to show off in front of their new master.

The moment Zhou Youshi ran, the people behind her immediately chased after her even more closely.

To be honest, Zhou Youshi’s single-digit combat strength wasn’t worth mentioning in front of a beast like Lin Yi, but it wasn’t bad compared to the guards chasing after her.

Normally, not to mention escaping, even if he turned around and fought against ten or even a hundred, it would be a piece of cake.

However, the problem was that as the eldest princess of the inner court, she had never fought anyone seriously since she was young. Her actual combat experience was zero.

It was the same for his escape experience.

In just a short moment, he was caught up by the people behind him.

Zhou Youshi was extremely anxious.

She had sneaked out. If she was caught like this, she could not imagine what would happen to her.

Lin Yi was able to bring her here without anyone noticing. In her heart, he was the number one criminal in the world. Even if he looked gentle on the surface, the terrifying face hidden behind him was definitely beyond her understanding. In short, Lin Yi was the most dangerous person in her eyes.

However, the strange thing was that after the person behind her caught up to her, he did not make a move to catch her. Instead, he directly overtook her. In the blink of an eye, the gap between them was widened, and he rode far ahead of her.

“What’s going on?”

Zhou Youshi was confused, but she did not dare to stop because the guards behind her were chasing even harder.

However, even though she had tried her best to increase her movement speed to the limit, she was still caught up by the crowd in the end. They watched as the encirclement behind her was about to close in on her.

At the critical moment, Zhou Youshi was prepared to accept her fate. However, a long whip suddenly whipped over from the front and wrapped around her waist, pulling her out of the encirclement.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Youshi found herself sitting on the back of a bird-type aerial spirit beast.

The whole process happened too quickly, so she didn’t have any reaction at all.

“Hey! You snuck into the palace too?”

A clear female voice came from the side.

Zhou Youshi looked towards the source of the voice and saw a pretty lady dressed in pink. She had taken off a piece of clothing by her feet. It was the uniform of the group of guards from earlier.

” I’m Ma Xiaozhu,” the woman introduced herself.” What’s your name?” “Zhou Youshi.”

Thank you for saving me.” Zhou Youshi struggled to stand up. She looked down with lingering fear.” If it weren’t for you, I would have been captured by them.”

Ma Xiaozhu waved her hand.” You’re welcome. We’re both in dire straits. It’s °nly right for us to help each other out.”

” By the way, what are you doing in the palace? Are you looking for Lin Shiba too?”

“Lin Eighteen?”

Zhou Youshi paused, Lin Yi’s face flashing across her mind,” So his name is Lin Eighteen?”

” You really saw him in there?” Ma Xiaozhu asked excitedly.

Maybe.” Zhou Youshi nodded uncertainly.

Oh, I forgot to ask you. Who are you? What’s your relationship with him?” Ma Xiaozhu asked in surprise.

“I’m the Eldest Princess. He fished me here,” Zhou Youshi answered without hesitation.

Anyone who was a little wary would not be able to say this.

“Then why did you run?” asked Ma Xiaozhu.

Zhou Youshi was speechless.

Could she say that she didn’t know why she was running?

Just like how the group of guards were clearly chasing Ma Xiaozhu, she did not understand why and inexplicably ran away.

Ma Xiaozhu thought to herself, Why does this person look a little dull?

However, after thinking about it, she became excited again. Although she didn’t know when the Eldest Princess appeared in Jinghai, since she had escaped from Lin Shiba’s hands, Lin Shiba must be looking for her.

If she could fool this woman and find a chance to send her back, would she have a chance to meet Lin Eighteen?

Lin Yi didn’t think that he’d only met Ma Xiaozhu once, and they weren’t exactly on friendly terms. They were basically enemies, but Ma Xiaozhu’s last move gave her a way out. There wasn’t any extra interaction at all.

But in Ma Xiaozhu’s heart, Lin Yi was the ceiling she had met in her life.

Thinking back, Lin Yi’s every move had an extra layer of filter, mysterious and powerful. She couldn’t help but be fascinated.

She wanted to see Lin Yi again, but she was chased out halfway.

Now that he had coincidentally met Zhou Youshi, he immediately had an idea.

However, even though Zhou Youshi looked dazed, she still had her own strength. No matter how much she could display, she was not someone that Ma Xiaozhu, a three-legged cat, could easily manipulate.

She had to plan how to send Zhou Youshi to Lin Yi.

” It’s fate that brought us together,” Ma Xiaozhu said.” You don’t seem to have anywhere else to go. Why don’t you come to my place first?”

Zhou Youshi hesitated for a moment. She really didn’t know where to go now. Seeing Ma Xiaozhu’s pretty and friendly face, she nodded.” Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Ma Xiaozhu giggled.” You’re nothing. You’re my lucky star. I can’t ask for more.”

Three days later, all the leaders of the various factions in the Jinghai region, including the core members, gathered together.

“What’s the situation this time? Is that Lin Yi who defeated the Fishing King from the Han King’s mansion?”

“It must be related. Otherwise, why would Clutch King Han send it out?”

” Our Jinghai Flying Land is the back garden of the Han Imperial Residence. Without the approval of the Han Imperial Residence, who would dare to lay a hand on the Fishing Emperor? Do you want to die?”

From what I can tell, the reason we’re all here today is to announce Lin Yi’s rise to power. A new era has arrived.”

“Do any of you know who this Lin Yi is? I heard that he’s not a local of line Hai?”???? ^S

Everyone was talking to each other. Ma Xiaozhu and Zhou Youshi were in the crowd, listening to all kinds of gossip and speculations about Lin Yi.

“Is the Lin Yi they’re talking about Lin Eighteen?” Zhou Youshi asked nervously. Will he come later? Wouldn’t we be in danger?”
