Zhou Zhiruo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She didn't understand why Princess Minmin called her "sister" so affectionately, but she still politely invited them to sit in the pavilion next to her.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat and transmitted his voice, "Minmin! Didn't I say I'd speak first? Why are you in such a hurry!"
Princess Minmin's face turned cold upon hearing this, and she transmitted her voice, "Can't I change my mind?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "You're really too unreasonable!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Minmin pinched Li Changfeng's thigh hard, causing Li Changfeng's face to turn blue with pain, but he endured it with all his might.
Zhou Zhiruo immediately noticed the commotion, bit her lip, and felt extremely uncomfortable. Although she had long since discovered Princess Minmin's situation with Li Changfeng and had made preparations, she still couldn't accept it for the time being.
Li Changfeng noticed Zhou Zhiruo's condition and quickly put his arm around her, comforting her, "Zhiruo! What's wrong?"
Princess Minmin was furious when she saw this, but she still held back. Murong Zhan, who was standing to the side, turned pale with anger. Fearing that Princess Minmin would take her anger out on him, he quickly pulled Xiao Qing aside.
"Xiao Qing! Let's go play over there!"
Xiao Qing was puzzled upon hearing this. Knowing Murong Zhan as he did, he knew something must be wrong, so he let him lead him to the herb garden not far away.
"What happened? Murong Zhan!"
"That goes without saying! Two women and one man! There will definitely be casualties! We should just watch from a distance!"
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo forced a smile, "Brother Feng! I'm fine!"
Seeing her like this, Li Changfeng couldn't utter a word. Princess Minmin's face turned ashen, and she could only frantically pinch Li Changfeng's body with her fingers. Li Changfeng could only hold back his anger and let Princess Minmin vent her frustration.
Murong Zhan was not far away, twitched his face upon seeing this. "Brother-in-law! You really can hold back!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat, but he still comforted Zhou Zhiruo. Zhou Zhiruo noticed that Li Changfeng's face was covered in sweat and asked in confusion, "Brother Feng! What's wrong with you! Why are you sweating so much!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng burst into laughter, "Ha... haha! It's a bit hot! I've been feeling a bit irritable lately, I can't help it!"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly upon hearing this, and slowly took out a fan to fan Li Changfeng, saying, "Brother Feng! Let me fan you, it will make you feel more comfortable!"
At this moment, Princess Minmin's face turned even more ashen upon hearing this, and her attacks became even more ruthless. Li Changfeng couldn't help but cry out, "Ah!! Zhiruo! Look, there seems to be a small pond over there. I want to go take a bath there; I'm covered in sweat!"
Li Changfeng rushed over without giving them any reply. Princess Minmin stomped her foot in frustration, thinking to herself, "You bastard Li Changfeng! How dare you go back on your word! Wait till we get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo gritted her teeth and slowly walked towards Princess Minmin, taking her hand. "Sister! Don't pinch Brother Feng like that anymore! It hurts him. How about we call each other sisters from now on? You be the older sister, and I'll be the younger sister!"
Princess Minmin was surprised to hear this. She hadn't expected that Zhou Zhiruo had already seen through their problem and had so kindly said something that put her at a disadvantage, making her feel very ashamed.
"Zhiruo, are you... are you sure?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled faintly upon hearing this, "As long as I can stay by Brother Feng's side, I don't care whether I'm a big shot or a small one!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Minmin quickly grasped Zhou Zhiruo's hand, saying, "Thank you so much for being so understanding. I feel truly ashamed. Don't worry! You are my dear sister now, and I won't let anyone bully you!"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Then I must thank my dear sister properly!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng appeared in front of them without them noticing, and said with a grin, "Looks like you've reached a consensus?"
Princess Minmin was furious upon hearing this and kicked Li Changfeng hard. With a thud, Li Changfeng was caught off guard and fell face-first to the ground.
Li Changfeng wore a wry smile, thinking to himself, "If I can get you to reach a consensus, what's wrong with letting you kick me a few more times!"
Zhou Zhiruo was immediately startled upon seeing this, "Brother Feng! Are you alright!"
After saying that, she walked towards Li Changfeng, wanting to help him up, but Princess Minmin stopped her directly, "This kid is tough and thick-skinned, he won't be hurt even if you kick him a few more times. Who told him to be so irresponsible? Let the two of us women handle this ourselves!"
Zhou Zhiruo hesitated upon hearing this, "But... he..."
Before Zhou Zhiruo could finish speaking, Princess Minmin pulled her away, saying, "Don't worry about him, let's have a good chat!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng's face was full of bitterness, and he thought to himself, "My Zhiruo! She was just dragged away by that damned Minmin!"
Then, Li Changfeng suddenly jumped up and hurriedly chased after him, "Hehe! You two wait for me!"
As soon as Li Changfeng entered, Princess Minmin kicked him away again. Li Changfeng continued to stick to her like a leech, only to be kicked away by Princess Minmin every time.
This infuriated Li Changfeng. "Minmin, you've gone too far! You should at least give me some face! If you keep kicking me like that, I'll lose my temper too!"
Princess Minmin snorted coldly upon hearing this, "So what! I just love kicking you, what can I do when you're so irresponsible!"
After saying that, she kicked out again. Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he grabbed her little foot tightly. "Hmph! You unruly little brat, I thought I couldn't do anything to you!"
Princess Minmin abruptly pulled her foot back and sneered, "Oh ho! You think you can bully me just because you're strong? Fine! I'll go back and report to my Emperor, and he'll teach you a lesson Emperor!"
Li Changfeng's face turned ashen upon hearing this. "You... you..."
"You, you, you! What do you mean 'you'? I'm going to kick you, so what!"
Li Changfeng was immediately enraged and suddenly jokingly said, "Fine! Since we're going to die anyway, I'll teach you a lesson today!"
