Chapter One Little Girl

  "What did you say?" Annan furrowed her brow, "I'm not from around here, I don't quite understand what you mean by that."

  "Isn't she from around here? You're always Chinese, right?" The shop owner looked at the little girl, with her black hair and eyes, and her standard Mandarin pronunciation, not like a foreigner at all.

  "I am not Chinese." An Nanxiu shook her head.

  The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and since the little girl didn't seem to be teasing him, he gave 95 yuan to An Nanxiu.

  Annan Xiu looked at the crumpled and dirty money with some disgust. The money she had just taken out was brand new, how did it become a pile of rags? After counting, Annan Xiu looked at the shop owner: "You gave me the wrong change."

  "No mistake, one ice stick is 0.5 yuan, but it's in US dollars." Since it was a foreign little girl, the shop owner naturally started tapping on the abacus.

  "The exchange rate of the US dollar to RMB is 6.5, you also got it wrong." Annan Xiu just read the newspaper this morning, and the exchange rate is an important data worth noting in the global economy, so Annan Xiu naturally took a look at it.

  Li Luyu secretly admired her from behind, no wonder she was going to become the queen in the future. She actually paid attention to exchange rates when she had no concept of zero money.

  "I'm talking about euros... pounds, it's roughly the same price." The shop owner wasn't sure of the exact exchange rate between euros and pounds either, and waved his hand impatiently. "Take another popsicle, you're always getting a good deal."

  "Do you think I'm an idiot?" Annan's pale face flushed with a faint pink glow, seemingly very angry.

  Li Luyu was also very angry, no matter what, An Nanxiu looked like a lovely and beautiful little girl, the shop owner treated people as if they were fools, even if it was just a few dollars, it was a bit too much.

  "I didn't take you for a fool, we're living up to the standard of developed countries, and our prices are on par with theirs. Haha...". The shop owner was quite pleased with himself, thinking he had a good command of language, but he's also a bit of a big mouth.

  "Nobody has ever dared to treat me like an idiot." An Nan Xiu obviously didn't understand what he meant, but undoubtedly, the shop owner had no intention of apologizing.

  Li Luyu looked at Annan Xiu, who had an indignant look on her face. It was clear that the princess found it hard to bear being treated like a fool by someone she considered to be a native.

  Li Luyu was just about to go and help An Nanxiu, but it was a step too late. A dazzling light burst out from An Nanxiu's hand.

  "Crack!"

  Slender and delicate small hands, electric sparks jumping and flashing at the fingertips, black smoke billowing, the icebox in the small shop suddenly exploded, becoming a smoldering piece of scrap iron, half-melted plastic packaging emitting a pungent smell of charred remains, various flavors of ice cream melted together, flowing in a riot of colors, the torn metal skin burst open with jagged edges, illustrating the power of this small-scale explosion.

  Passersby were attracted over, with either shocked or indifferent attitudes, and looked around. The shop owner stuck to the wall, staring at the already scrapped refrigerator, clearly still in a daze. How did the good refrigerator just explode?

  Li Luoyou hastily squeezed over and pulled An Nanxiu to run away.

  Although he wasn't a particularly well-behaved child, he hadn't done anything as explosive and extreme as this before. He pulled Annan Xiu along for a while, looking around to make sure no one was paying attention, before finally releasing her hand with a gasp.

  An Nan Xiu looked at her own small hands and glared at Li Luoyu with a red face: "No one has ever..."

  "You've never been so reckless!" Li Luoyu panted, interrupting her in a bad temper, "They just cheated you out of a few bucks, and you destroyed their thousand-yuan fridge."

  "In the Tianyun Empire, such insolent behavior towards a member of the imperial family will not be so easily forgiven." Annan Xiu felt that he had already shown mercy, the dignity of the imperial family would not tolerate disrespect, let alone it involved the face of the eldest princess. If news of him being treated as a fool in the native world were to spread back to the Annan imperial family, wouldn't those fools mock him?

  "This isn't the Tianyun Divine Realm, nor is it a province of the Tianyun Empire. It doesn't belong to your Annan imperial family." If Li Ruo Yu had normally seen someone trying to steal a chicken but ending up losing rice instead, he would have laughed out loud with great amusement. But now, this matter was clearly different in nature. Most importantly, it would be discovered that this was done by Annan Xiu Gan, a girl who could generate electricity in the palm of her hand... This kind of thing would bring Li Ruo Yu a lot of trouble, disrupting his peaceful and stable life.

  "Wait until I recover my strength..."

  "You promised me that you wouldn't draw attention to our world again. Is it also a privilege of the royal family members to not keep their words?" Li Luyu interrupted An Nanxiu's words once more.

  Several times being interrupted, Annan Xiu was already very angry, let alone as the eldest princess who is much more noble than ordinary royal members, and has never had the experience of being led by a boy to run hand in hand. Annan Xiu felt that she should be the one with the right to be angry, she glared at Li Ruyou, considering whether or not to throw a lightning ball at him, roasting him crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

  "The most important thing is that you might be counterattacked, the native world in your eyes is not as vulnerable as you think. If you continue to use your powers recklessly and get counterattacked...” Li Luyu felt it was necessary to let her understand just how powerful guns, cannons, and bullets were, and have her measure for herself the strengths and weaknesses of magic and earthly military might. “Can you withstand a bullet? Do you know what a bullet is? A metal pellet flying at over 300 meters per second, do you know how terrifying it is when such a metal pellet hits the human body?”

  Li Luyu began to explain to Annan Xiu, from handguns to machine guns, from cannons to tanks, and from rocket launchers to nuclear weapons. He didn't use too professional data to describe their power, but described them very specifically.

  "Do you know how powerful that lightning ball you just used is? It's not even comparable to a hand grenade. How many of those can you use? There are countless such grenades on the entire planet. This city isn't small, but it would be completely destroyed by a single hydrogen bomb. Your divine technique has that kind of power?" Li Luyu said with some disdain, as An Nanxiu showed him the divine techniques of the Tianyun Divine Realm's cultivators releasing their techniques, which looked beautiful and mysterious, but didn't demonstrate their true power.

  An Nan remained silent, the slender figure of the little girl appearing especially lonely amidst the bustling exhibition hall, as if Li Rou's words had made her realize that the divine technique she took pride in was nothing special in this world.

  "What's wrong?" Li Luyu didn't expect this proud princess to be so fragile, she seemed to have finally realized the power of modern earth weapons and was deeply traumatized.

  "I was just thinking, is there a simple way to destroy this world directly, so that you don't even have time to counterattack." An Nanxiu raised her head and said expressionlessly.

  Li Rouyou let out a sigh, indeed the ambitious Demon King. This kind of guy no matter how many times they are abused by heroes and brave warriors will not change their original intention. How could An Nanxiu be so weak? I'm still too kind-hearted, worrying for nothing.

  "Think of it?" Li Luyu felt that he had become more vulnerable, worrying all day that the little girl next door would destroy the earth.

  "Not for now, but it will come to me eventually."

  Li Rouyou let out a sigh of relief. Although Annan Shou promised not to attract the attention of the Earth, he still felt that Annan Shou was no match for the Earth and that his display of military might and subsequent abandonment was even more reassuring.

  "Let's go, let's head back." Li Luoyu went to pull An Nanxiu's hand.

  "What are you doing, pulling my hand like that! No distinction between superior and inferior!" An Nanxiu raised her eyebrows, glaring at Li Luyu with difficulty.

  Li Ruyu smiled, after all, he was just an ordinary modern person. He wouldn't always remember that An Nanxiu was a princess at heart. It's not that the princess of the Annan royal family didn't count here, it's just that he had no concept of princesses and natives in his mind. Just now, he simply relaxed and treated An Nanxiu as an awkward little girl, just like his sister. When he was with his sister, he always habitually held her hand.

  Annan Xiu followed behind Li Luyu, her hands clasped behind her waist, watching as Li Luyu walked towards the bus. She hastily called out: "Hey, where are you going?"

  "So far away, can't walk back?"

  "Can't it be done?"

  "Of course not." Li Luoyou walked onto the bus by herself.

  Annan Xiu glanced at the carriage, which wasn't crowded, with only Li Rouyu standing. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind to lift her skirt and walk over.

  Li Luyu stood in the middle of the carriage, leaving a space in front of him.

  Annan Xiu walked over and stared at Li Luyou without moving.

  "Your Highness, just say what you want, don't keep looking at me and making me guess, okay?" Li Rou was getting a headache, he and An Nanxiu didn't have any tacit understanding, and she always liked to put on an air of "you should know what to do".

  An Nanxiu took out a silk handkerchief from the small pocket on her skirt, wiped the seat repeatedly before sitting down, and then tossed the handkerchief to Li Luyu.

  Now Li Luyu knew what he had to do and threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

  After passing several stations, the number of people on the train gradually increased. An old man with a head full of silver hair walked up and stood near Li Luyu, but no one gave him a seat.

  "Why didn't he use money?" Annan Xiu asked in surprise.

  "Because he is an old man, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation." Li Luoyu said with pride.

  Annan nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

  "Stand up and give your seat to the elderly." Seeing Annan Xiu glare at him, Li Luyu pointed to the words next to the seat and explained: "This is a priority seat for the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled."

  Annan Xiu reluctantly stood up.
