In the Purple Springs Garden, the Gao Clan had set up the [Burger Queen] stall.

It was mainly for Gao Suyin because it was one of her ways of collecting information.

Using her ability, she created clones of herself and placed them in different locations.

She was able to witness everything that was transpiring around these clones and was, in fact, even able to cultivate faster because these clones had the ability to store Qi!

And one of these clones, a young girl, was present on the other side of the stall in the Purple Spring Garden.

And currently, she was staring straight towards a couple sitting on the bench near the stream.

‘He said he doesn’t like her, but still comes here every day to meet her… what is he planning?’

“Yo, sis!” Someone suddenly called, breaking her thoughts.

She turned her head and found a young man with a serious expression staring at her.

“Hm?” She raised her eyebrow.

She knew this young man.

Jun Xie. That was his name, and he was also known as Dreamscape Supreme and was one of the Core Disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect. Also, he was very talented in terms of alchemy, and his specialty was the powerful Illusion Technique.

‘If my real body were her, I would have seen through all his illusions.’ Gao Suyin mused, and after a moment of thought, she asked, “How may I help you…”

“Burger.” Jun Xie said.

Gao Suyin nodded and began to prepare one.

While preparing, she asked, “Didn’t you and your friend just buy a plate of french fries? I thought he was planning to share it with you.”

Jun Xie shook his head, “That is for… his princess.”

Gao Suyin’s eyes twitched, “What do you mean by… ‘his’ princess?”

Jun Xie shrugged, “Whatever you have assumed. Anyway, I do notice that you’re staring at him. Are you interested in him?”

Gao Suyin smiled, “Oh? Well, yeah, but I shouldn’t aim too high, right?”

Jun Xie frowned, “What’s wrong with that?”

“Well, I am, but a mere shop owner. And he… isn’t he one of the Core Disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect?” Gao Suying asked.

“He is.” Jun Xie nodded and added, “I won’t push you on the wrong path. You’re right. You should give up. My friend already has a lot on his plate.”

“A lot?” Gao Suyin smiled, “Like what? Is he preparing for the Grand Spirit Hunt? Or… is it because of something personal?”

Jun Xie sighed, “You ask too much. Just cook the burger.”

Gao Suyin smiled and continued to prepare the burger.

After a few moments of silence, Jun Xie said, “You shouldn’t give up.”

“Hm?” Gao Suyin was a bit taken aback by his sudden words, “What do you mean?”

Jun Xie elaborated, “You shouldn’t give up. My friend may have his own troubles, but he doesn’t have anyone who can stand beside him.”

“What about you?” Gao Suyin frowned.

Jun Xie shook his head, “I am not the right person. I have my own troubles, and… I am not a girl. What he needs is a partner.”

Gao Suyin frowned, “What about the princess?”

Jun Xie shrugged, “Well, you have competition.”

“What if your friend got married?”

Jun Xie suddenly froze.

‘Ah, I forgot he is getting married… It looks like I wasted my words in giving advice….’

“Hm, good question…” Jun Xie tried to think of a reply as soon as he could, “Well, you could still support him. It’s not like having a wife doesn’t allow him to meet with other women.”

Gao Suyin frowned, “Your friend’s wife… isn’t she your sister-in-law? What do you think she will think of you when she hears these words?”

Jun Xie shrugged, “It doesn’t matter to me. Maybe if she’s good to my friend, I will respect her.”

“Oh?” Gao Suyin lightly nodded, and while putting the burger on the plate, she asked, “How long have you known your friend? You trust him quite a lot.”

Jun  Xie smiled, “Honestly, not for long. But there’s this feeling I have that I can rely on him. And he has also done me a huge favor, which I may not ever be able to repay him. This is why I decided to trust him and become his close ally.”

“Oh?” Gao Suyin nodded lightly, “That’s a good answer. Well, if your sister-in-law hears this, I have a feeling she might forgive you for your earlier words.”

Jun Xie pursed his lips, “That’s… good to know. But you sure you don’t wanna try?”

Gao Suyin shook her head, “No, I don’t need to.”

“Oh?” Jun Xie shrugged, “It’s your choice.”

Gao Suyin smiled, “It was nice meeting you. Here’s your burger.”

Jun Xie raised his eyebrows and took the plate, “Thank you.”

Gao Suyin nodded and glanced at the couple sitting on the bench, sharing the french fries.

‘I shouldn’t have brought the fries here….’

She took a deep breath and sighed.

For her, Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun was a fascinating person. 

And now, with fate playing its part, he was also going to be her husband in a few weeks.

‘Unless he runs away…’

Gao Suyin felt like there was a high probability of that.

And honestly, she wouldn’t mind if this really happened.

She wasn’t an obsessive person, and she didn’t wish to drag Ye Tian Yun into her own troubles.

Ever since coming to this world, her main goal had been to return because, in her world, many things were at stake.

‘I wish I could return to Earth….’

She sighed.

‘The Soul Gates must be causing a lot of trouble….’

Shaking her head, she could only pat and encourage herself to have patience.

She was only a peak Tri-Qi Realm cultivator. The journey ahead was long.

For her, there was only a slight crush she had towards the Crown Prince Ye, but she didn’t wish to open her heart and fall for the young man in front of her.

Because one day, she needed to leave this world and return to the Earth – her home.
