"Father, that bastard actually dared to defile my sister. I'm going to kill him!" The young man who had mentioned the bloodline issue before suddenly stood up and said angrily.

The Shu Emperor frowned slightly, staring at the unconscious Princess Yu in Shiji's arms. Princess Yu was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow and as smooth as a baby's. The Shu Emperor's eyes could not help but stagnate for a moment.

"You... who are you? Why are you holding my daughter?" the Emperor of Shu asked in a deep voice.

Shiji glanced at the palace not far away and glanced at the Emperor of Shu indifferently: "Is it your business?"

"How dare you!" the young man roared.

Shiji raised her head and glanced at the young man, her eyes flashing with coldness: "If you dare to say anything more, I will destroy you."

"Bastard!" The young man cursed and wanted to teach Shiji a lesson, but he found that the spiritual power in his body seemed to be restrained by something and could not be used.

Shiji sneered, ignored him, and flew directly towards the palace with Princess Yu.

"Stop him!" The Shu Emperor gave an order, and hundreds of guards rushed over from all directions.

Shiji stopped and turned to look at the Shu Emperor, with a playful gleam in his eyes: "Are you sure you want to stop me?"

The King of Shu was startled, and an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart. He read a hint of mockery in Shiji's eyes.

"Who are you?" asked the Emperor of Shu in a deep voice.

"Haha, I won't tell you." Shiji said with a smile.

"How dare you!" Hundreds of guards shouted angrily.

"Hmph." A ball of purple flame suddenly burst out from Shiji's eyes, enveloping all the guards.

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded through the sky, and hundreds of guards turned into ashes in the purple flames, leaving no trace of their bodies.

An indescribably powerful aura suddenly spread out, making the Shu Emperor's face turn as pale as paper in an instant.

"You... who are you?" The Shu Emperor uttered these words with difficulty, his voice trembling undisguisedly.

Shiji glanced at him coldly, his tone full of unquestionable threats: "It doesn't matter who I am, but if you dare to obstruct me again, you will be killed without leaving any trace." After that, he turned around and left without looking back.

The King of Shu watched the figure gradually disappearing into the distance. His heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest, and his breathing became increasingly rapid. Finally, he could not hold back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!" The people around him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, call the imperial physician!" The Shu Emperor's face was full of fatigue and pain. He waved his hands weakly and ordered with difficulty: "You must...you must find Yu'er back. She is my baby and must not suffer any injustice."

On the other side, Shiji held the unconscious Princess Yu and strode out of the palace.

"Stop! Put down Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Several palace guards stepped forward and blocked his way. "You are such an arrogant man. You dared to lay hands on the princess. This is a heinous crime!"

Shiji glanced at them coldly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you want to die, just go ahead."

The guards were stunned, and then an indescribable fear surged in their hearts and their faces turned pale.

"You... who are you?" a guard asked courageously.

However, Shiji just sneered and did not answer. She just gently stretched out a finger and pointed it at the guard in the air.

"Puff!" With a light sound, the guard didn't even have time to scream before his body turned into charcoal in an instant, and the imperial physician next to him was not spared. This scene frightened everyone to death, their faces pale.

"Don't kill me, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to be a slave!" A petite maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground and begged with tears. Others also knelt down, wailing for mercy.

Shiji ignored them and continued walking forward. Although his steps were slow, no one dared to stand up and stop him.

"Run! It will be too late if you don't run now!" The crowd finally collapsed and fled in all directions.

However, Shiji was even faster and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

The King of Shu watched Shiji taking his daughter away, feeling sad and angry.

At this time, he noticed the two old men who had been following Shiji - the evil old man and the evil woman.

"They are the ones who deceived my daughter away, and they dare to show up here!" The Shu Emperor was furious and turned his hateful eyes towards them. "Queen, don't try to persuade me. I'm going to kill them now!"

"Your Majesty, you've made enough noise!" the queen hastily advised, "You are seriously injured now, you should recover first!"

"Recuperate?" The Shu Emperor sneered, "How can I rest assured and recuperate when Yu'er is not by my side? Not only do I want to catch that lunatic, I also want to cut the evil old man and the evil woman into pieces!" His tone was filled with strong hatred.

"Ma Ju, kill them for me!" The Shu Emperor pointed at the evil old man and the evil woman and roared at the commander of the imperial guards.

He would never tolerate anyone trampling on his imperial power like this, and he would never tolerate anyone hurting his daughter.

……

Shiji was very fast and soon got rid of the Shu emperor's pursuers. He found a safe place and gently put the woman in his arms down.

When passing by a palace in a city, he accidentally learned that the woman he rescued was actually a princess of Shu Kingdom.

He looked at the unconscious Princess Yu, and a wave of pity welled up in his heart. He quickly took action and forced the poison planted by the evil old man in Princess Yu's dantian out of her body.

Then, he held Princess Yu's waist with one hand, patted her back gently with the other hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you're fine."

After a while, Princess Yu slowly opened her eyes, and what came into her sight was a strange and handsome face.

Shiji was tall and slender, wearing a green suit, looking heroic. His eyes were as clear as water, which made Princess Yu stare at him in amazement.

"Are you awake?" Shiji asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Princess Yu was stunned for a moment, then she realized, "You saved me?" Although she was a princess, she was not taken seriously in the palace. When had she ever experienced such a thrilling and heartwarming moment? She looked around and found that she was no longer in the palace. "Where am I?"

"You were poisoned and I rescued you." Shiji explained, "This place is far away from the palace."

Princess Yu was in a trance. She looked at Shiji and asked curiously, "What is your name, sir?"

Shiji was stunned. This was the first time he was asked this question by a woman since he came to this world.

"My name is Shiji," he replied.

"Young Master, what a good name." Princess Yu praised sincerely, "Where is Young Master from?"

Shiji thought about it and made up an answer: "I am from the north." As he answered, he observed the surrounding environment and found that the place was overgrown with weeds and not even a tree could be seen. Princess Yu kept her eyes on Shiji's face, as if she couldn't see enough. "Sir, where are we going next?" she asked softly.

"I plan to go to Wujun," Shiji replied, "It's a big city, and it should have what we need."

Upon hearing this, Princess Yu was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't want to go back to the palace." Her voice was soft but firm, which made Shiji curious.

"Why?" Shiji asked.

Princess Yu's expression became melancholy: "Because I don't like that palace." Her tone was full of helplessness and sadness. Hearing this, Shi Ji couldn't help but feel more pity and sympathy for her.

"Then follow me." Shiji said gently, "I will take care of you, protect you, and never let you suffer any grievances again."

Princess Yu felt warm in her heart when she heard this. She looked at Shi Ji with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, sir."

Then she nodded and decided to follow Shiji to Wujun.

The two continued on their way, supporting each other along the way.

Princess Yu became more and more dependent on Shiji, and Shiji also took good care of her. The relationship between them became closer unconsciously.

When the two of them came to a patch of dense grass, Princess Yu suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" Shiji asked in confusion.

"I want to rest for a while." Princess Yu said a little tiredly. Upon hearing this, Shiji immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll sit with you for a while." The two of them sat on the ground, leaning against each other, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Shiji took out the dry food she brought with her and handed it to Princess Yu, who took it and began to eat it voraciously. Seeing her wolfing down the food, Shiji could not help but laugh. However, at this moment, Princess Yu suddenly started to cough violently.

Seeing this, Shiji immediately reached out and patted her back to help her cough. After a long while, Princess Yu finally caught her breath. "Are you okay?" Shiji asked with concern.

Princess Yu glanced at him and shook her head: "It's okay." However, her face was still pale, which made Shiji feel a little worried.

"If you need any help, just tell me." Shiji said. Princess Yu shook her head: "I'm really fine, thank you." Her voice was soft, but full of gratitude.

Shiji looked at her pale little face and felt a strong desire to protect her.

"Since you're okay, let's continue on our way," he said.

Princess Yu nodded and stood up. However, as soon as she took a step, she grimaced in pain.

"What's wrong?" Shiji asked hurriedly. Princess Yu looked down and found that she had sprained her ankle when she fell just now.

"I'll carry you away." Shiji said, and then she picked up Princess Yu without any further ado.

Princess Yu was so frightened that she turned pale and struggled subconsciously. However, when she felt Shiji's firm arms and warm embrace, she gradually relaxed and chose to trust the person who had always taken care of her.

Shiji embraced Yu'er gently and walked forward with firm steps. Yu'er's elegant orchid-like fragrance drifted into Shiji's nose inadvertently, touching a soft corner of his heart. His heart trembled suddenly, and then he shook his head quickly, secretly warning himself not to let his imagination run wild, otherwise, he would really feel that he was worse than an animal.

"Yu'er, do you still remember the time when you were kidnapped in the palace?" Shiji's words broke the silence.

Yu Er thought for a moment, then shook her head gently, "That memory has become blurry."

She only remembered the old man in black and mask, and another man in black following behind him. As for what happened afterwards, her memory was like being shrouded in thick fog and she could not recall it at all.

Shiji recalled the situation when Yu'er's life was hanging by a thread, and anger welled up in her heart.

"However, those people don't seem to be ordinary people." Yu'er seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke.

Shiji nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, they are from the Demon Cult."

"Demon Cult?" Yu Er frowned when she heard this. "Why did they want to capture me?"

Shiji glanced at her and slowly explained, "Those members of the Demon Sect are all scum in the martial arts world. I have heard that they intend to use your body to plant Gu in order to improve their cultivation. However, if you want revenge, I can help you."

Yu'er was stunned when she heard this, "The evil cult's poison? Could their target be my father?"

Shiji smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but she thought to herself that this was indeed very possible.

A trace of anger flashed in Yu'er's eyes, "These bastards really deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"Do you know where they are hiding?" Yu'er asked anxiously.

Shiji nodded, "It seems that he was stopped by your father's men."

"Then let's go find them!" Yu'er said, then she struggled to stand up and limped back the way she came.

Shiji sighed helplessly, stood up and followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, Yu'er finally ran out of energy. She looked at the dense forest in front of her, her heart full of worries. She was just an ordinary person, what could she do?

Shiji looked at Yu'er's tangled look and couldn't help laughing, "I can help you with this."

Yu'er was startled when she heard this, and looked up, only to see Shiji taking out a shuttle from his arms. She was stunned, "This is..."

Shiji nodded, "This is a shuttle that can carry hundreds of kilograms of weight. It can take you back to Shuzhou City quickly."

"What about you?" Yu'er asked with concern.

"Me?" Shiji pointed at herself, "Of course I'll go back with you."

Yu Er quickly shook her head, "Isn't this bad?"

Shiji smiled and shook her head, "It's okay."

"But..." Yu'er obviously didn't want to cause trouble for Shiji.

"You are no match for those two old men from the Demon Sect by yourself, so I'd better go back with you and protect you." Shiji's tone was firm.

Yu Er hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Come on, get up." Shiji jumped onto the shuttle and extended his hand to Yu'er.

Yu'er hesitated for a few seconds, and finally climbed up slowly. Shiji put one hand around her waist, and with the other hand controlled the direction of the shuttle, slowly sliding forward.

Yu'er felt Shiji's solid chest pressed against her back, her face flushed, and her breathing became rapid. She felt her body trembling slightly, as if she was a little overwhelmed by this intimacy. (End of this chapter)
