Chapter 353: Chapter 349 Jiang Xinyan’s Loyalty Chapter 353: Chapter 349 Jiang Xinyan’s Loyalty Bao Yuan stared dumbfounded at Taotie, his face a picture of disbelief, and then…

SLAP–

Bao Yuan fiercely gave himself a hefty slap.

Taotie got startled and cursed, “What the hell are you doing?”

“I’m checking to see if I’m dreaming!”

Bao Yuan replied with a face full of joy.

“And the result?”

Taotie asked, rolling his eyes.

“It hurts!”

“It’s real!”

Bao Yuan said, his face again lighting up with joy.

“You blockhead!”

Taotie complained helplessly.

“Hurry up and call people over to clean up the scene, and also get the doctor, damn it, it hurts like hell.”

Taotie muttered and grumbled.

After finishing, he didn’t bother with Bao Yuan any longer.

He limped on his own into the estate.

In the reception hall!

Fang Xiaocao was ushered to the seat of honor by Jiang Xinyan.

Fang Xiaocao didn’t decline.

“Did you call the doctor?”

Seeing the injuries on Jiang Xinyan’s body, Fang Xiaocao asked with concern.

“Yes,”

“The estate’s family doctor was killed.”

“The doctor from the main gate lives far away; he’s on his way.”

Jiang Xinyan explained.

Being alone with Fang Xiaocao made Jiang Xinyan feel like a nervous bride meeting her in-laws, unease washing over her.

Fang Xiaocao nodded, “That’s good. Taotie that guy is too tight-lipped, he actually kept it from me, otherwise, I would have come to see you and your daughter earlier.”

“It’s not his fault, Princess Your Highness, I just wasn’t ready yet,”

Jiang Xinyan defended Taotie.

Fang Xiaocao smiled, saying nothing.

“Princess Your Highness, I’m here!”

Taotie walked into the reception hall with a big grin.

“How’s the injury?”

Fang Xiaocao inquired.

“Nothing serious, won’t kill me!”

Taotie said nonchalantly.

Fang Xiaocao’s gaze swept over Taotie, verifying that he wasn’t missing any parts, and then she relaxed.

That Taotie, he’s like the indestructible Xiaoqiang, with an astonishing ability to recover.

The injuries looked serious, but none were fatal, and under the influence of Taotie’s terrifying muscles, the bleeding had already stopped on its own.

Fang Xiaocao waved her hand, signaling Taotie to sit.

Taotie took a seat next to Jiang Xinyan, his eyes on Fang Xiaocao, waiting for her to continue.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Xiaocao looked at Taotie and Jiang Xinyan and spoke, “Taotie’s family has no elders left, and although I am younger than both of you, as Taotie’s loyal master, I should represent Taotie’s elders and make arrangements for his marriage. Xinyan, don’t blame me for overstepping.”

Taotie was momentarily stunned, looking at Fang Xiaocao with a complex expression–there was excitement, gratitude, and mostly surprise.

“No…it can’t be…”

Realizing Fang Xiaocao’s intention, Jiang Xinyan started to stammer.

Fang Xiaocao smiled, “Since neither of you object, then I’ll take the liberty. Today, in my capacity as Princess Your Highness, I’ll stand in for Taotie’s elder to offer his betrothal gifts: 88,880,000 as the bride price. You lack nothing, including a house and a car, so I will not provide those. The wedding will be conducted in both Chinese and Western styles–Chinese wedding with the bride in a phoenix crown and cape, carried in a palanquin, and not one bit of the ten-mile bridal procession will be missing. As for the Western wedding, the gown will be custom-made by a designer, to be worn during the ceremony. All expenses, including the banquet, will be on me.”

Having said this, Fang Xiaocao paused.

She smiled at the two befuddled faces in front of her.

Still smiling, she asked, “Any objections?”

Taotie and Jiang Xinyan came to their senses, glanced at each other, and supported each other as they stood up and walked in front of Fang Xiaocao.

The next second!

Thump–

Taotie and Jiang Xinyan both knelt down.

“Thank you, Princess Your Highness!”

Taotie was very moved.

Since learning about Jiang Nannan, he had been pondering over these past two days how to give Jiang Xinyan a proper status. But being an orphan and an assassin, he had no relatives or elders and could find no one to preside over their wedding.

He had not expected Fang Xiaocao to have thought of everything for him; at this moment, Taotie felt that his loyalty to Fang Xiaocao was truly worth it.

This was a sense of being valued he had never experienced before in his life as a wanderer of Jianghu.

Jiang Xinyan was also very moved and delighted.

What girl doesn’t want a wedding of her own, with the one she loves, to share the joy of finding her true match with everyone?

But she knew that Taotie was an orphan.

He had no elders to organize a wedding for them, and considering Taotie’s feelings, she never dared to bring up the idea of having a wedding.

She was afraid Taotie would feel inferior!

She was afraid Taotie would be embarrassed!

She was even more afraid Taotie would feel guilty!

Jiang Xinyan always considered Taotie’s feelings, preferring to aggrieve herself rather than make him uncomfortable.

Now, this princess–who had only met her once–had fulfilled the longing in her heart.

Jiang Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly kowtowed firmly, remaining bowed to the ground, “If Princess Your Highness does not disdain, Xinyan is willing to lead the Tomb Raider Sect and its four branches in loyalty to you. Please, Princess Your Highness, take pity and accept Xinyan, and accept the loyalty of the Tomb Raider Sect.”

Taotie was stunned, staring dumbfounded at Jiang Xinyan, “Xinyan, you…”

Taotie had previously persuaded Jiang Xinyan to join him in pledging allegiance to Fang Xiaocao, but she had skirted around the issue.

That was why, upon returning, Taotie did not mention Jiang Xinyan to Fang Xiaocao.

Instead, he chose to conceal it.

Now that Jiang Xinyan suddenly pledged allegiance, Taotie was utterly confused.

Fang Xiaocao gave a slight smile and stood up.

She approached Jiang Xinyan, personally helped her up, and said with a smile, “A woman general like Xinyan is a welcome addition to my side, like a fish takes to water. How could I possibly disdain her? From now on, Xinyan, you shall follow me. However, the Tomb Raider Sect can no longer develop in New Province and must move to Tang City with me. Are you willing?”

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie looked nervously at Jiang Xinyan.

Taotie knew how much effort Jiang Xinyan had put into securing a foothold for the Tomb Raider Sect in New Province. He also knew how seemingly approachable yet domineering his princess could be. He was afraid Jiang Xinyan would be reluctant to move the Tomb Raider Sect from New Province to Tang City, leading to a conflict with Fang Xiaocao.

However, Jiang Xinyan showed no displeasure, but instead smiled brightly, “It’s entirely up to Princess Your Highness. The Tomb Raider Sect will follow you unto death.”

Jiang Xinyan’s response once again surprised Taotie, prompting a look of bewilderment, “Xinyan, you…”

Jiang Xinyan smiled faintly, “You fool, I will follow wherever you go. Since Princess Your Highness’s base is in Tang City, should I not accompany you there? Do you really want us to live apart?”

As she spoke, a blush appeared on Jiang Xinyan’s face, and she shyly lowered her head.

Fang Xiaocao smiled faintly, “Good!”

“Don’t worry, Xinyan. As long as I’m here, I will ensure the Tomb Raider Sect’s legacy continues. From now on, the Sect will still be under Xinyan’s command. Though under my authority, it will never be abolished or merged, maintaining its independent establishment.”

Having finished speaking, as the atmosphere between Jiang Xinyan and Taotie grew warmer, Fang Xiaocao smiled and picked up Jiang Nannan, “Nannan, would you like to go play with your auntie?”
