Reunion

An old man stood shoulder to shoulder with a young girl, saying with a refined air, "I believe they never expected Your Highness's arrival and are now speechless with surprise."

The old man smiled as he looked at the crowd, only to see the Huang Family's second young master lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, struggling to get up.

The old man opened his mouth in surprise and gestured behind him.

Several bodyguards quickly stepped forward and helped Hui Shao up.

One of them reached out and pressed on Hui Shao's face.

The bleeding stopped immediately, and his swollen face quickly returned to normal.

Hui Shao regained his vitality and looked at the beautiful woman before him, momentarily forgetting his anger.

He whispered, "Kang Lao, who is this?"

The old man winked at him and turned to the red-haired beauty, saying, "Your Highness Princess, allow me to introduce you. This is one of our Nine Houses, the Huang Family's—"

"Wow, who shot that!"

Anna ignored him and exclaimed as she walked to the end of the arrow range, looking at the wall with great interest.

Five people were hanging on the wall, groaning intermittently.

Only then did the old man see the people hanging on the wall at the end of the arrow range. His expression changed instantly.

What was going on? Important foreign envoys were in the Federation Capital, yet they had stumbled upon a public brawl.

And why were there several police officers present?

Since when had the Capital's police become unable to handle such matters?

This was a major diplomatic incident!

The old man was furious and opened his mouth to lash out.

"Such excellent skill, I would love to learn it. May I ask who shot them?" Anna turned around and asked with an excited expression.

The old man's words caught in his throat.

The surrounding crowd watched this scene, speechless.

Anyone could see that there had been a fight here just now, one that had almost escalated to a life-or-death situation.

Yet the Princess found it amusing that people were hung on the wall by arrows.

Rumor had it that the Saint Orlanka Empire's Princess acted entirely according to her personal preferences and had done many things that made people laugh and cry. Seeing it with their own eyes now, it was indeed true.

That young man, whether it was a blessing or a curse, was yet to be seen.

He had hit Hui Shao, but at least he was safe and sound for the moment. However, if he angered the Saint Orlanka Empire's Princess, Anna Medici, hehehehe...

Countless gazes focused on Gu Qingshan.

Watching Anna looking around with feigned ignorance, Gu Qingshan's lips twitched slightly.

Gu Qingshan didn't know how she had appeared here, nor did he know what tricks she was playing.

It wasn't that he was afraid of her, but he felt somewhat uncertain.

Sure enough, Anna walked over step by step, stood in front of Gu Qingshan, and opened her mouth with an admiring expression.

"Did you shoot those people onto the wall?"

The way she said it made the onlookers wipe their sweat.

"Yes."

Gu Qingshan answered, forcing himself to remain calm.

Anna's expression changed, and she curtsied, saying seriously, "I have neglected this noble sport for too long. Your archery is exquisite and marvelous. Please teach me archery for the sake of lasting friendship between our two countries."

This was the most standard aristocratic etiquette, from language to manners.

Gu Qingshan almost turned around and left, but he managed to restrain himself.

Anna's move caught him off guard.

Gu Qingshan didn't want too much exposure, only wanting to quietly finish his last bit of university life before the Apocalypse arrived.

But the Empire's Pearl was already standing in front of him, surrounded by wealthy and influential onlookers, as well as so many secret bodyguards and intelligence personnel from the Federation government. This moment was destined to be widely known.

To take a step back, if he were to disregard the Empire's Princess in front of so many people, both the President and himself would face a very passive situation.

Forget it, it's Anna after all.

Gu Qingshan sighed slightly and returned the greeting, saying, "Your request is my honor."

"Yay!" Anna winked playfully, waving her small hand in the air, "Clear the area!"

The Federation bodyguards scattered, politely persuading the onlookers to leave the archery range.

If one observed carefully, they would notice that these well-trained bodyguards also carried an emotion of helplessness.

The Empire's Princess had to clear the area wherever she went, even when going to the restroom, which was simply numbing and speechless.

But no one dared to complain.

The monarch of the Saint Orlanka Empire was an unstoppable figure.

Even Her Highness the Princess herself was a terrifying existence among the Transcendents.

It was said that her Five Elements Fire had already evolved to the fourth stage, "Sun Splitting".

The Five Elements Fire initially started at the "Flame" realm, and after advancing, it rose to "Blazing Flames".

From the third stage, "Magma", onwards, each stage of improvement would bring about terrifying changes in strength.

The fourth stage, "Sun Splitting", had already left ninety percent of the world's professionals behind.

Even without relying on her status as a princess, Anna could still enjoy the highest honor and glory with her true strength.

If anyone could gain the true recognition of such a woman, who possessed both noble status in the secular world and powerful strength in the Extraordinary world, the benefits would be too numerous.

Hui Shao's eyes darted around, and he walked up with a few people, a smile on his face, "Your Highness the Princess, I am honored to be of service to you."

Anna pointed to the wall—where several bodyguards were trying to get someone down.

She said, "Can you do this?"

"No, but I am the Second Young Master of the Huang Family, and I know the Capital very well, I guarantee—"

Anna opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked with an innocent expression, "If you can't do this, what are you doing here?"

Hui Shao was stumped.

"I don't deal with good-for-nothings," Anna said, "Someone, clear the area!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly crushing Hui Shao's self-esteem.

Hui Shao was politely taken away.

As he left, he stared at Gu Qingshan intently.

Gu Qingshan didn't care.

A playboy's hatred could be cut off with a wave of his hand.

Gu Qingshan walked to Anna's side and lowered his voice, "What are you doing? This will make me very passive."

Anna noticed the other party's gloom and said with a slightly aggrieved tone, "I miss Scorpio Palace."

A single sentence caused all of Gu Qingshan's emotions to dissipate.

"You, sigh, at least tell me next time before you show up." He shook his head and said.

The matter was dropped, and the aggrieved expression on Anna's face immediately disappeared. She walked to the side with a radiant smile and took a bow from the rack.

She said, "Teach me how to shoot arrows first, I have some things I want to ask you later."

Gu Qingshan was about to speak when a stream of light suddenly flew into his vision, turning into bright red words on his retina.

"The flow of time continues to be disordered, the time to enter has arrived."

"The player must enter the alternate world within five minutes, otherwise the space-time disorder will become permanent."

"Warning, if the player gives up entering, they will completely lose the ability to enter the alternate world."

Gu Qingshan was stunned as if struck by lightning.

How could this be?

He wasn't experiencing temporal turbulence for the first time, and every time before had been fine. Why was this happening now?

Could it be because he entered that strange space?

There were many strange phenomena within temporal turbulence, and some could indeed affect players, but Gu Qingshan had never heard of anything that could completely disrupt the flow of time.

Could it be that the strange space was more special than any other strange space recorded in history?

That huge corpse nailed to the bronze pillar—he hadn't even paid it any attention!

With no time to think further, Gu Qingshan pulled Anna to a corner and whispered, "I need you to do me a favor."

Anna looked at him, curious. "Tell me about it."

"I..."

Gu Qingshan didn't know how to start.

The situation was urgent, with only five minutes left. He had to get out of everyone's sight as soon as possible.

But the entire club was surrounded by security personnel, all to protect Princess Anna's safety.

If he wanted to escape alone, he definitely wouldn't have enough time without dealing with Anna. The layers of security personnel would stop him.

But once the time was up, Gu Qingshan would have no choice but to cross over.

If the scene of him crossing over was seen by national security personnel, it would cause a huge uproar.

Gu Qingshan wasn't afraid of anything, but this was a very troublesome matter, and all his subsequent plans would be affected.

Anna saw that he was hesitant to speak and glanced at him secretly.

His eyes were a beautiful amber color, and his eyelashes were long. Every time he drew his bow and shot an arrow, his eyes would narrow slightly, focused and full of spirit.

When he mixed drinks, his eyes were filled with a hazy mist, as if he were in another world.

His clothes were extremely simple.

But even in these ordinary clothes, he walked out of the bar and wiped out dozens of Martial Artists, along with two Mobile Armors.

Some people had to rely on gorgeous clothes to pretend to be dragons and phoenixes, but he didn't need to.

He showed no mercy when killing, but he knew how to behave when he was on television, keeping his head down and not saying a word.

Feng Huo De said he was a bit unpredictable, but how difficult could it be? He was just a little shy and nervous in front of the camera.

At this moment, he stood in front of her, looking like he couldn't bring himself to speak. It was quite amusing.

Anna's mood was bright, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

She put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and said, "What's so hard to say? Do you perhaps like me?"
