Unknown to them the dragon change his form into a human and blend with the people. As he watch what happened, "Interesting! Will see if you can protect him!" He told himself.

"Plese let go of my waist!" Pleaded the princess with her cute voice. Shen Wei blushed and apologize as he retrieve his hand. And gave his beautiful smile on her. The princess went red as well, that made Shen Wei's heart skip. "Did she like me too?!" He wonder.

Both staring at each other forgetting they're at the center of the stage and giving a great show to the peole.

"ENOUGH!!!! PRINCESS! GO BACK TO YOUR CHAMBER!!! AND YOU YOUNG MAN! WE HAVE PLENTY THINGS TO DO SUCH AS SOLVE THE CUBE PUZZLE!!!" Xin ci patience is getting thin as he saw how the poor schoolar hold his beloved child.
