Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 540 How can someone who doesn't even love themselves love others?

The deep affection and humility in his words stunned everyone present. Even Rakshasa and Yaksha couldn't help but exchange a glance, never expecting that Lu Wangyou would be so devoted to Bai Yue.

"Tch. What's so great about it!"

Yuwen Yi was not about to let Lu Wangyou steal the spotlight, so he immediately stepped forward, puffed out his chest, and shouted in a loud voice.

"So what if I'm a dog? I'd be willing! And let alone being a dog, I'd do anything you want!"

He even struck a pose with his muscles taut, emphasizing it with pride.

"My 'dog' is definitely much more handsome and powerful than Lu Wangyou! You'll look so prestigious taking me out!"

His shameless pursuit of favor made everyone around him burst into laughter.

Seeing that the two had said everything they wanted to say, Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an felt a surge of ambition, unwilling to fall behind. They exchanged a glance, stepped forward together, and were about to pledge their loyalty.

"enough!"

Bai Yue finally couldn't bear it any longer and let out a low shout filled with deep helplessness.

"Stop it, all of you!"

The voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the tense atmosphere between the four men vying for favor.

She then looked around, her eyes instantly becoming unusually serious.

"In my eyes, you are first and foremost human beings, living, breathing people with your own thoughts and dignity! Don't belittle yourselves into being like dogs or cats! That's not loyalty, that's self-degradation!"

Her resounding words, imbued with a peculiar sense of principle, stunned everyone present.

Yuwen Yi's original words, "I am willing to be your most obedient dog," stuck in his throat.

Lu Wangyou frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an widened their eyes slightly, clearly not expecting their master to get angry over this.

Seeing their bewildered expressions, Bai Yue cleared her throat, preparing to go a step further and explain the principles of "all men are created equal" and "respect and being respected" in detail.

"Player, stop! Stop right now!"

The electronic voice of Xiao 1 suddenly exploded in her mind, accompanied by a hand-covering-face emoji.

"They're confessing their love to you, expressing their loyalty and affection in their own way! Can't you think straight for once? Stop thinking in weird, twisted ways!"

"That's precisely why they should cherish themselves even more. How can someone who doesn't even love themselves love others?"

Bai Yue's gaze swept over the four people again, and an undeniable majesty reappeared in her eyes.

"In short, stop belittling yourself in the future. Who dares to say such nonsense again..."

She pointed to the misty mountain peaks behind her and spoke earnestly.

"You can stay here on the mountain and enjoy the scenery by yourself. You don't need to follow me!"

These words were more effective than any grand principle. Lu Wangyou smiled helplessly, obediently took half a step back, and stopped arguing.

Although Yuwen Yi glared at Lu Wangyou defiantly, under Bai Yue's icy gaze, he could only purse his lips and obediently stand aside.

Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an swallowed back the words that were on the tip of their tongues, lowered their heads and resumed their usual silent guarding posture.

Seeing that the four had quieted down, Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, letting Rakshasa and Yaksha link arms with her on either side, and turned to continue walking down the mountain.

"Dad, why do my uncles, my other uncles, and these two uncles have to act like dogs? They're clearly human beings!"

Yuwen Tianle tugged at Yuwen Ze's sleeve, tilted his round little face up, and asked in confusion.

"Is it because godmother thinks they're too stupid that she's angry?"

Yuwen Ze looked down at his son, then glanced at Yuwen Yi not far away, and couldn't help but complain.

"Because of your uncle, he's a good-for-nothing scoundrel, and now..."

"Hey, big brother! We're brothers from the same mother. If I'm a dog, then what are you?"

Yuwen Yi had very sharp ears and retorted without hesitation, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking badly about me in front of Xiao Tianle!"

Yuwen Ze was about to retort when he suddenly felt a light tap on the back of his head.

He turned around and saw Mo Qingyan standing behind him with her arms crossed, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Alright, stop bullying your brother. Have you forgotten your father's temper? If he finds out how you treated Yi'er, he'll skin you alive!"

"Oh dear, Grandma Mo, what you're saying has reminded me!"

Yuwen Ze slapped his forehead, picked up Yuwen Tianle, and walked quickly forward, muttering to himself.

"I wonder what my dad has done to Uncle Cheng. We need to go check on him right away, in case something really bad happens!"

Just as Yuwen Ze walked away with the child, and Yuwen Yi was still making faces at his back, Zhuang Xiaoye walked over. He patted Yuwen Yi's shoulder heavily, his voice full of the wisdom of someone who had been through it all.

"Don't overthink it. The young master isn't angry at all; she's clearly showing her pity for you. She doesn't want you to lose your dignity and integrity for her sake, and she certainly doesn't want you to give up who you are!"

"you do not say!"

Fu Wenzhu also stepped forward, smiling and nodding, her gaze fixed on Bai Yue's retreating figure, her tone full of admiration.

"Xiaoyue is such a kind and insightful girl, she's a rare gem in this world! You guys are incredibly lucky to have met her!"

As soon as Fu Wenzhu finished speaking, she turned around and started yelling at Ming Jingxing, her tone full of disappointment and frustration.

"Hey, you old monster! Xiaoyue's words are clearly aimed at you! Where's your usual arrogant attitude, always acting like the sky is the most important thing to you? Why are you acting like a weak and scholarly young master now!"

But Ming Jingxing completely ignored Fu Wenzhu's clamor. He raised his hand and gently brushed the fallen leaves off Shen Xingmian's shoulder, his tone so gentle it could melt water.

"Oh dear, Xingmian, why are there so many mosquitoes in the mountains lately? But don't worry, with me here, I'll make sure they don't get a single step near you."

As he spoke, he casually waved his sleeve, as if shooing away unseen mosquitoes.

Fu Wenzhu was furious at his "love over friendship" attitude, and rolled up her sleeves to rush over, clearly wanting to settle things with him.

The remaining four understood Bai Yue's meaning perfectly well. They knew that she wasn't disliking their loyalty, but rather feeling sorry for them for putting themselves down.

After exchanging glances, the stubbornness in the four people's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a tacit understanding. They didn't say another word, but instead quickened their pace and followed closely behind Bai Yue.

Three hours later, the group arrived at a luxurious inn. Before they could even enter, a tall, silver-haired man rushed out of the inn and pounced on the Yaksha in the crowd!
