Chapter Twenty-One: Finding Her, Princess Carry!

rs.Luo Jin gently untied the cloth strips binding her limbs, wrapped her in a sheet, and held her close. "Xuan Xuan," he murmured, "I'll take you away from here."As the car drove out of the hospital,...Shen Lue wandered in the mountains from day to night, but still couldn't find Mu Xing.

This damn Uzha Mountain, there's still signal at the foot of the mountain, but once you get to the top, there's no signal at all.

He wanted to inform Grandpa Fu that he couldn't, having lost sight of Mu Xing and unable to return. He could only search while calling out: "Little Star, where are you! Give a squeak if you hear me!"

At this time, Mu Xing had already moved to the halfway point of the mountain under the dim moonlight.

She stopped to rest against a tree, and suddenly saw dozens of bright lights shining up from the foot of the mountain.

Faintly, there seemed to be shouts still echoing.

Mu Xing immediately dragged on the burlap sack and, leaning on a branch, walked toward the light source.

As the distance shortened, she could clearly hear many people shouting:

"Miss Mu Xing!"

"Miss Mu Xing!"

It turned out to be her who he was looking for!

Mu Xing's heart leaped with joy, she hurriedly waved her small hand and replied, "I'm here! I'm here!"

Yun Tuo had sharp hearing and immediately said to Fu Lingxiao upon hearing the sound: “Master Fu, I really want to hear Miss Mu Xing’s voice.”

"Quiet!"

Fu Lingxiao gave an order.

All the bodyguards fell silent at once. In the quiet mountains, a young girl's voice rang out with surprise: "I'm here!"

Fu Lingxiao immediately took steps to follow the sound.

Finally, in the grass on the halfway point of the mountain, I found Mu Xing.

In the searchlight's beam, a young girl with a backpack slung over her shoulders had messy hair, her clothes smeared with mud and blood. Her pretty face was covered in tiny scratches, and her wounded hands, one dragging two large snakeskin bags, the other leaning on a stick.

He looked like a little beggar, utterly miserable.

Upon seeing him, the little girl didn't flash her usual sweet smile and run towards him eagerly as she used to. Instead, she looked at him with worry etched on her face.

Fu Lingxiao looked at her with a deep gaze, his brows furrowed low, his face carrying a touch of gloom.

For a moment, he coldly uttered, "How did this happen"

Mu Xing stared at the man carefully.

He stood in the backlight, his handsome face hidden in the darkness. She couldn't see his expression, only that his voice was very cold.

Is Uncle angry

Because she was still not home this late, he had to come here to find her.

It must be so.

Mu Xing bit her lip and replied weakly, "I just tripped and fell. It's not a big deal."

Fu Lingxiao scanned the little girl from head to toe. Although she looked disheveled, luckily they were all just superficial injuries.

His face softened somewhat, his gaze falling on the two large snakeskin bags she clutched tightly in her hands. "What's in the bags" he asked.

From the moment Mu Xing saw Fu Lingxiao, she had been worried that he would ask her why she was here. Luckily, he only asked what was in her bag, which was easy to answer.

She giggled, "All these treasures are what I found."

Shen Yue said she came to the mountain to dig jade, and that the bag must be full of jade ore she had dug up.

"You guys get it for her."

Fu Lingxiao gave Yuntuo an order, then turned and walked down the mountain.

The moment Yun Tuo lifted the snakeskin bag, he stumbled forward. His bodyguard beside him did the same, gritting his teeth to lift the bag up.

Glancing at the frail girl, the two of them contemplated life together.

She, a little girl, could lift something with one hand, but these two men, who were over six feet tall, couldn't even budge it.

This… is truly a slight wound, but incredibly insulting!

After walking a distance, Fu Lingxiao turned back to see the little girl in the distance, leaning on a tree branch and struggling to move.

"Did you hurt your foot" he asked.

Mu Xing nodded. "Sprained it."

Fu Lingxiao strode over and squatted in front of Mu Xing, lifting her trouser leg, his eyes darkening. "This isn't a big problem"

The little girl's ankle was swollen into the shape of a steamed bun, purple and green with some greenish fluid on top. There were also some scratches on her lower leg, oozing blood.

"Why didn't you tell me you were hurt"

His voice remained as indifferent as ever, yet hidden within it was a tenderness he himself hadn't noticed.

If this happened to another girl, she'd probably be crying her eyes out by now.

This little girl, she didn't make a sound. If he hadn't come, would she have prepared to go back by herself, leaning on a stick and dragging those two bags

"It's just a minor injury." Mu Xing said nonchalantly, "I often got hurt when I went hunting in the mountains before. I'm used to it. Besides, I don't feel any pain at all. Look, I've already applied some herbal medicine."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his foot as well.

The next second, the branch in her hand was suddenly pulled away. Her backpack was ripped off, and then her body felt light. The feeling of weightlessness startled Mu Xing so much that she gasped. When she reacted, she was already being held horizontally in a man's arms. Her small backpack was slung over his shoulder.

She was a little stunned, her big eyes staring at the man's indifferent handsome face. The man had already hugged her and was walking down the mountain.

"Uncle, please let me down. I can walk myself."

Mu Xing struggled a little uncomfortably, after all, no one had hugged her like this since she was six years old.

A deep voice boomed right above his head, “Move again and I’ll throw you off the mountain!”

Mu Xing was instantly scared stiff, shrinking meekly into the man's embrace.

The man's strong arms held her securely, and despite the steep mountain path, she felt no bumps at all.

A man's chest is solid and broad, giving off an indescribable sense of security.

Mu Xing relaxed and squinted, resting her little head on the man's chest.

"Bang bang bang."

A powerful heartbeat, with a steady rhythm, came from the man's chest. Mu Xing listened and unconsciously completely relaxed, slowly closing her eyes and falling asleep quietly.

In his arms, there was no movement for a long time. Fu Lingxiao lowered his head and glanced at her. The little girl had already fallen asleep against his chest. Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her face covered in bloodstains, like a small kitten.

He tightened his grip, pulling her closer as a smirk played on his lips.

The bodyguard had seen his boss hug Mu Xing more than once, so he wasn't surprised. He followed behind, with a proud expression: Hmph! Who said our boss was cold, ruthless, and heartless

He is so gentle, so considerate, and so full of love!

By the time Fu Lingxiao carried Mu Xing down to the foot of the mountain, Shen Lue just happened to find them following the beam of the searchlight.

Seeing Mu Xing being held in the boss's arms, he worriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Fu, what's wrong with Mu Xing"

Fu Lingxiao glanced at him coldly, then hugged Mu Xing and got into the car.

Shen Yue's heart sank: "This is over, I might lose my job."

The convoy was heading towards the Yu Zun Manor.

The man on the back seat held a dirty, fluffy kitten in his arms. The smell of grass and soil mingled with its faint milky scent to create a pleasant fragrance that drifted into his nostrils.

Fu Lingxiao lowered his eyes to look at the little figure sleeping soundly, then his gaze fell on her swollen ankle, and he instructed Yuntuo sitting in the co-pilot seat in a low voice: "Tell He Chao to wait at the estate."

"Yes."

Yun Tuo immediately called He Chao, Fu Lingxiao's personal doctor.

A low voice reached her ears, causing Mu Xing's long eyelashes to flutter as she opened her eyes and woke up.

Rubbing her blurry eyes, she saw that she was still leaning against her uncle's arms. She sat up abruptly, "I'm sorry, Uncle. I might have been too tired today, so I fell asleep accidentally."ensual, like fine wine and nectar, intoxicating with a rich fragrance that spread layer by layer in the air.Mu Xing's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were steady and fixed on the man's face. "Look a...
