Lingxi frowned slightly at the Ninth Prince's deliberate action of standing with her. She subconsciously took a few steps to the side. At that moment, Xiao Lang lowered his head and inserted himself between the two of them, pushing the Ninth Prince to the side.
Only the Ninth Prince had a flash of anger in his eyes, but he concealed it well. He smiled brightly and said to the crowd, "Hello everyone, I am Miss Lingxi's friend. I am also the current Ninth Prince of the royal family, so you don't have to worry in the future. As long as I am alive, those guys from the Yamato family will definitely not dare to cause trouble on Goldfish Island again." For the people of Goldfish Island, this was great news.
For the people of Goldfish Island, this was great news. No matter who the Ninth Prince was, they had to express their gratitude. Hence, everyone thanked him one after another. Some even knelt down. However, the Ninth Prince reacted quickly and rushed over to help them up. He said gently, "You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to be so polite. As a member of the royal family, it is my duty to protect my people. This is my duty, so you don't have to thank me. You should thank Lady Lingxi. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that such a thing would have happened."
Although the people of Goldfish Island were puzzled as to why Long Chen wasn't here, they saw that the Ninth Prince didn't seem to be a bad person. In fact, he seemed to be a very good person. Gradually, they had a good impression of the Ninth Prince. As for Lingxi, they had an even better impression of her. Hence, everyone thanked Lingxi one after another.
Seeing that the people of Goldfish Island had finally been freed, and seeing the happy smiles on their faces, Lingxi felt happy for them. However, with the Ninth Prince beside her, Lingxi couldn't help but feel unhappy and worried.
"I wonder how Chen is doing. I had no choice but to ask the Ninth Prince for help today. However, seeing that the people of Goldfish Island have been saved, Chen should be very happy." Lingxi was very satisfied when she thought of this.
"Miss Lingxi, may I know where Brother Long Chen is now?"
After saying a few words of thanks to Lingxi, Chen Feng went straight to the point and asked in confusion. To the people of Goldfish Island, the help that the Ninth Prince had given them today was greater than what Long Chen had given them previously. However, they had a strange feeling that Long Chen was more likable and amiable, while the Ninth Prince was a little pretentious.
"Chen has gone to Ni Yang's Wonderland to be an Wonderland Divine Guard, but he will be back soon." Lingxi was a little excited when she mentioned Long Chen.
"Wow, Ni Yang's Wonderland."
The people of Goldfish Island gasped in admiration. Ni Yang's Wonderland was not a place that ordinary people could enter. They were happy for Long Chen that he was able to become an Wonderland Divine Guard. However, they did not realize that a mere Wonderland Divine Guard was nothing compared to the identity of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince seemed to have turned into a bomb that was about to explode when he saw Lingxi talk about Long Chen. He forcefully swallowed his anger and said to Lingxi, "Little Xi, we should go back. Today, I will take you to the Seafood Restaurant in the Imperial City. There are many rare exotic delicacies there."
Hearing the two words "Little Xi", Lingxi's expression changed. She stared coldly at the Ninth Prince and did not give him any face. She said word by word, "Your Highness, didn't I say it before? Please don't call me Little Xi. Only Chen can call me that."
The coldness in her voice scared Chen Feng and the others. The people of Goldfish Island looked at each other. Those with some brains could roughly guess what was going on. It seemed that the Ninth Prince wanted to snatch the beauty away. In other words, the Ninth Prince had saved Goldfish Island. It was completely bullsh * t to say that it was his duty to do so. He just wanted to please the beauty.
Before, they were full of respect and love for the Ninth Prince, as well as great gratitude. Now that they thought about it, it seemed that the Ninth Prince was just so-so. So, they shook their heads. Between Long Chen and the Ninth Prince, they preferred the straightforward and hot-blooded Long Chen.
Whispers could be heard from the crowd.
"I really thought that the Ninth Prince would be so kind. I find it strange. Doesn't the Yamato family serve the royal family? Those people just now were the royal family's minions."
"Don't talk about it. If the Ninth Prince gets angry, we won't have a good time. He didn't really want to save us. He might kill us at any time."
Discussions like this, as well as Lingxi's blatant disrespect, made the Ninth Prince furious. His breathing became heavier as he stared at Lingxi. His eyes flashed. Lingxi was not afraid of him. She clenched her teeth and said softly, "How is it? Are you angry? No matter how angry you are, it's useless. At most, you can kill me. I'm not afraid of death."
Lingxi's attitude was unyielding. Looking at the national beauty in front of him, the Ninth Prince's anger turned into helplessness in the end. He waved his hand at the people from the Golden Fish Island and said, "You guys are fine. Go and do what you need to do."
"Miss Lingxi …" Chen Feng couldn't make up his mind. It was obvious that the Ninth Prince was chasing them away.
"Uncle Chen, please take them and leave first. After all, Goldfish Island will be fine in the future. I will ask Brother Chen to bring me here often to play," Ling Xi said with a smile. She was much more obedient when facing the people of Goldfish Island.
"Alright then. Miss Lingxi, be careful. Our Golden Fish Island welcomes you at any time."
After saying that, Chen Feng had no choice but to reluctantly watch as Lingxi and the people from the Golden Fish Island left. After everyone had left, the Ninth Prince looked at Lingxi affectionately and said, "Lingxi, these days, I have put in a lot of effort to make you happy. Don't you understand my sincerity for you?"
"What is sincerity? Is it edible? I'm very hungry now. I want to eat." Lingxi widened her eyes and looked at him without backing down.
"Don't change the subject. What I said is true. Tell me, in what way can I not compare to Long Chen? In terms of appearance, strength, and background, I am not better than that brat. Why can't you think about it?"
The Ninth Prince said anxiously. His voice even sounded a little choked up. Ordinary girls would have been killed by him in an instant if they saw him in such a state of grief.
"You want to compare yourself with Chen? Are you kidding me? Let me ask you a very simple question. Can you die for me? Chen will," Lingxi said coldly.
"Don't joke with me. Why would you want to die for me?" The Ninth Prince didn't quite understand.
"That's why I said that you don't know what love is. What right do you have to say that you like me? Isn't it because I am beautiful? When I was nothing before, Chen still took good care of me," Lingxi said happily. "Nonsense. Don't misunderstand.
Alright, I promise you. If Long Chen can do it, so can I. Dying for you isn't something difficult. "In order to move Lingxi, the Ninth Prince really threw caution to the wind this time. Of course, he wouldn't do it.
"Then die for me to see." Lingxi took a few steps back and looked at the Ninth Prince indifferently.
The coldness in Lingxi's words shattered the Ninth Prince's heart instantly. Looking at the beauty in front of him who didn't care about his life, the Ninth Prince felt that the hard work of the past month was simply ridiculous.
"Alright, I will ask you one last question. Are you willing to follow me or not? Think about it carefully. You only have two choices. The first one is to follow me. The second one is to follow me. However, Long Chen will die." At this time, the Ninth Prince finally couldn't bear it anymore and revealed his true colors.
"Flustered and exasperated, you finally revealed your fox's tail."
Lingxi wasn't surprised at all. She had expected this day to come. When the Ninth Prince realized that all his efforts were in vain, he would definitely go crazy and reveal his true colors.
The Ninth Prince had always relied on power and strength to conquer others. How could he sincerely move others with his feelings? Lingxi was not stupid. She was very smart. From the day Long Chen entered the Ni Yang's Fairyland, she knew that the Ninth Prince would go berserk one day. She didn't tell Long Chen and instead persuaded him to go to the Ni Yang's Fairyland so that Long Chen could focus on finding the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit and not care about her.
Of course, she dared to break off relations with the Ninth Prince at this time and provoke the Ninth Prince to go berserk. This was not a reckless act. Before, Lingxi and Xiao Lang could communicate through their souls. After a month of practice, this communication became very smooth. At this time, Lingxi was talking to Xiao Lang.
"Xiao Lang, leave quickly. Otherwise, it will be bad if he uses you to threaten me. Chen will find the Nine Heavens Celestial Fruit for me. My current body is the source of trouble. I don't want it. I will return to Lingxi's sword. No one can hurt me anymore."
Before this, Lingxi and Xiao Lang had already discussed this method. If they had no other choice, they could only use this method. The Ninth Prince was aggressive. The day when he turned into a demon would come sooner or later. It was not easy for Lingxi to delay until today.
Otherwise, why would Lingxi agree to the Ninth Prince's invitation to go sightseeing?
"Sister Lingxi, I still don't feel at ease. I am now at the fourth rank of the Earth Rank. This guy may not be able to defeat me …" Xiao Lang did not escape at this time. Instead, he still stood in front of Lingxi.
At this time, the Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and revealed a ferocious look. "Lingxi, I have to say, you are forcing me …"
Lingxi took a few steps back and looked at him coldly. She did not say anything. At this time, she was using her soul to urge Xiao Lang to leave. However, Xiao Lang did not follow the plan. Instead, he stood in front of her fearlessly.
"My big brother asked me to protect you. Before he appears, I will not retreat even half a step."
