Rebirth of the Ninth Princess

Indeed, Yuanjiu's attention was quickly diverted, and her eyes lit up. "Father Emperor is going to take me out?"

"Mm, my treasure has finally acknowledged me, so now I want to spend some quality time with you. You can buy many things you like. Also, there are many shops outside selling magical beast eggs. I plan to buy one for you, and once it hatches, it can be your companion."

Upon hearing she could "raise a pet," Yuanjiu immediately nodded enthusiastically. "I want to go out of the palace!"

Yuanjiu stood on the bed obediently as Ouyang Qingcheng helped her change into casual clothes.

While doing so, she curiously asked, "Does Father Emperor have a magical pet?"

"Of course. I'll introduce you to him shortly."

After changing their clothes and using disguises to alter their appearances, they left the palace bedroom.

Once outside, Ouyang Qingcheng summoned his magical pet.

"Feng Ying."

Yuanjiu felt a strong gust of wind as a massive eagle appeared before them, flapping its wings.

Its jet-black feathers gave it a majestic and intimidating appearance, and its size even surpassed Ouyang Qingcheng by a head.

No wonder he waited until they were outside to call it; it was simply too large and powerful.

Standing on the ground, Yuanjiu immediately felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Ouyang Qingcheng lifted her up. "Do you like it? You two should get along well from now on."

"Mm, Father Emperor, it's really powerful," Yuanjiu said, her eyes sparkling.

Feng Ying seemed to understand her words and lowered its head toward her.

Ouyang Qingcheng explained, "My darling, it's showing you friendliness. Go ahead and pet him. It looks like he really likes you."

He gently petted the magical pet's head.

Yuanjiu, copying his actions, patted its head and giggled. "I'm Xiaojiu. Can I call you Xiaofeng?"

Feng Ying nodded and rubbed its head against her palm in a friendly manner.

"Alright, my darling, it's time to go," Ouyang Qingcheng said.

He put Feng Ying away, and called for Cailun, and the three of them used an invisibility spell before flying out of the palace.

...

As soon as Yuanjiu entered the imperial city, she couldn't help but look around curiously.

The elves, beastmen, demons, and fairies were creatures of this world that she had never seen before.

Many people on the street were strolling leisurely with their magical pets.

Some of these pets were animals she recognized, such as dogs, wolves, and snakes, but others were entirely unheard of.

Even someone as naturally reserved as Yuanjiu couldn't resist her curiosity.

Her wide sparkling eyes darted left and right, finding it impossible to take everything in.

Her small face alternated between expressions of curiosity, surprise, puzzlement, realization, and amazement.

Ever since she and her father had talked from heart to heart, Yuanjiu had opened up a lot.

Now, she finally acted like a normal child.

Ouyang Qingcheng couldn't help but smile faintly, and that smile nearly blinded the passersby who had already noticed the handsome man walking down the street.

So handsome.
