Jiang Yi carried Jiang Zheyu back to her room.

"Goodnight, Princess Yu Yu." Jiang Yi gave her a gentle look.

"Mm, goodnight," Jiang Zheyu replied.

Jiang Yi backed out, and the door closed behind him.

Jiang Zheyu finally sank back into her comfortable bed.

But who would have thought she’d hear the crazed screams of the Little Princess of the Empire from the garden outside.

Jiang Zheyu silently got up and closed the French windows.

She slowly returned to bed and pulled the covers over herself. The latter half of the night had been utterly heart-pounding, and Jiang Zheyu was indeed exhausted, so she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, the Little Princess of the Empire had, of course, been found by the people from her palace.

And then she started acting crazed again.

"Get out! All of you, get out! I’m waiting for the Lonely Wanderer Star Thief Group to come and take me away!"

The Little Princess of the Empire violently tore flowers from the garden and hurled them at the Beast Husband and servants before her. "Get out! Get out now!"

But no one left. They just knelt on the ground, watching the Little Princess of the Empire’s frantic display.

The Little Princess of the Empire continued her tantrum. It was getting later and later, but she still hadn’t seen anyone from the Wandering Star Thief Group.

"Why haven’t the people from the Lonely Wanderer Star Thief Group come tonight?" The Little Princess of the Empire walked up to her Beast Husband, grabbed the young man’s collar with both hands, and scowled fiercely.

Commander Wu frowned slightly. "Princess Jin Wan, the Star Thief who came tonight has already been captured and locked in a cell. You don’t need to wait any longer. Please go back and get some rest."

"Who?" The Little Princess of the Empire’s expression changed. "Who from the Lonely Wanderer Star Thief Group was captured and thrown in a cell?"

Commander Wu lowered his gaze slightly. "Gu Ying."

Hearing that it wasn’t Gu Sui, the Little Princess of the Empire breathed a small sigh of relief.

"The Empire’s guards are actually useful for once? They can actually catch a Star Thief?" The Little Princess of the Empire’s tone dripped with contempt and mockery for the Empire. "Who was the female the Star Thief chose tonight?"

"Princess Zheyu captured the Star Thief," Commander Wu stated, simply telling the truth.

The Little Princess of the Empire paused for a moment when she heard this.

’For Jiang Zheyu to be able to capture those Star Thieves, it could only mean her Spiritual Power Level is higher than theirs.’

’How is that possible?’

’How on earth did she do it?’

The Little Princess of the Empire’s gaze flickered. ’I need to have a serious talk with Jiang Zheyu.’

’What if Jiang Zheyu stops Gu Sui from taking me away? Wouldn’t my dream of leaving with Gu Sui be ruined?’

’I absolutely cannot let that happen!’

The Little Princess of the Empire was the type to act on impulse, so she charged directly to Jiang Zheyu’s palace.

However, she couldn’t get in. Jiang Yi was blocking her path.

"Princess Yu Yu is already resting. If you have any business, Princess Jin Wan, please come back tomorrow." Jiang Yi looked down at the Little Princess of the Empire with a calm expression.

"You dare block me!" The Little Princess of the Empire’s expression turned vicious. "I am an Imperial Princess! Get out of my way, now."

She couldn’t even wait until tomorrow; she had to make things clear with Jiang Zheyu right now.

"Princess Yu Yu is already resting. Please come back tomorrow, Princess Jin Wan," Jiang Yi simply repeated, his body still blocking the Little Princess of the Empire.

Beside her, Commander Wu also grabbed the Little Princess of the Empire’s wrist. "Let’s go back and rest. Whatever it is can wait until tomorrow."

The Little Princess of the Empire, of course, refused to leave. In the end, Commander Wu had no choice but to forcefully carry her away.

Jiang Zheyu knew nothing of these late-night events; she had already drifted off into sweet dreams.

Jiang Zheyu slept until noon. After waking up and washing, she finally went downstairs.

"Princess Yu Yu, I’ve prepared a Strawberry Nutrient Supplement for you." Jiang Yi handed her a bottle of it.

Seeing the bottle of Strawberry Nutrient Supplement reminded Jiang Zheyu of the recipe she had given away that day. ’I wonder how that’s going.’

"I’m craving a forest cake. Could you go see if that shop has any new products?" Jiang Zheyu glanced sideways at Jiang Yi. Getting the cake was secondary; she was mainly curious if they had anything new.

But then she remembered that the forest cakes seemed to sell out first thing in the morning, so she amended her request, "It doesn’t have to be a forest cake. See if they have any other little desserts, that would be fine too."

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded obediently. "I’ll go out and buy it for you now."

"Thank you for the trouble, Jiang Yi," Jiang Zheyu said with a faint smile.

She used to feel that calling both Xiaoyi and Jiang Yi "Xiaoyi" was a bit confusing, so now she just called Jiang Yi "Jiang Yi" instead of "Xiaoyi."

Seeing the smile on Jiang Zheyu’s face, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but smile dotingly. If she wanted a forest cake, even if they were sold out, he would still find a way to bring one back for her.

As for how to get it, he, of course, had his ways.

’Since I’m going out today, it’s a good opportunity to check the surveillance footage there and see how the shop makes the forest cake.’

’In the future, I will personally make forest cakes for Princess Yu Yu. I’ll make Master Yu Yu like only the forest cakes I make.’

Jiang Yi took the empty strawberry-flavored glass bottle from Jiang Zheyu and left the Imperial Palace.

Not long after he left, the Little Princess of the Empire stormed furiously into Jiang Zheyu’s palace.

"Jiang Zheyu!" The Little Princess of the Empire’s voice was extremely shrill.

Hearing that unhinged voice, Jiang Zheyu suddenly felt nostalgic for the time when the Little Princess of the Empire wasn’t acting crazy and lovesick. Back then, the Little Princess of the Empire’s voice was quite gentle, and she was pleasant to be around.

But as soon as the topic of Star Thieves came up, any conversation with her became impossible.

’The moment I hear that voice now, I just know the Little Princess of the Empire is definitely here because of a man!’

The Beast Husband and servants behind the Little Princess of the Empire seemed worried—worried that the Little Princess of the Empire might do something harmful to Jiang Zheyu—so they followed her inside.

"Is there something you need?" Jiang Zheyu stood up from the sofa and looked at the Little Princess of the Empire.

She had a feeling she wouldn’t be able to have a proper conversation with the Little Princess of the Empire, but out of politeness, she didn’t leave immediately and instead asked what the matter was.

The Little Princess of the Empire strode up to her and said, "Tell these people behind me to leave first. I have something to say to you in private."

Jiang Zheyu: ...

’Aren’t these her people? If they need to leave, shouldn’t she, the Little Princess of the Empire, be the one to tell them?’

"Aren’t these your people?" Jiang Zheyu voiced her thoughts.

"If my words had any effect, would I be asking you to tell them to leave?" The Little Princess of the Empire looked furious.

’Ever since their last talk fell apart, it feels like the Little Princess of the Empire’s entire demeanor has changed.’

Jiang Zheyu: ...
