Chapter 203 (2/2)

“It’s you! It must be you...Ahh!! Stop!! You evil woman! Give me my baby back!!” The little princess wasn’t stupid either. She immediately suspected the spirit girl, the only person within the vicinity. When she turned her head, the spirit girl was already at the garden entrance.

“I’ll pay you back. How much?” asked the spirit girl, after a moment of silence.

“I don’t want your stupid money, I want my baby. The exact same one,” shrieked the princess.

“Oh, then that’ll be next year…” Perhaps the plant would have grown enough by next year.

“No, I want it now,” naturally, the little princess wasn’t satisfied with her answer. She didn’t know what was going to happen next year or if the promise would be kept.

“Then I can’t do much. I’m leaving!” the spirit girl decided to continue running. She’d offered to pay, but since the little princess refused, they couldn’t do much about it.

“Stop!!” the princess ran after the spirit girl.

“I want to leave the palace, you don’t have to see me off!” Only someone as crazy as Ye Lang would think the little princess wanted to send them off.

“You are not to leave this palace!!” declared the little princess cruelly.

“Why?”

“...Just... No!!” Why would anyone still ask? Are you dumb?

The little princess didn’t talk now. She ran as fast as she could towards Ye Lang, while they ran aimlessly…

There was a little chase within the palace grounds now. This chase scene soon attracted much attention.

“Who is the little princess chasing?” asked a palace guard.

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen this person before!” said the other guard, stunned.

“Is it suspicious there’s someone we don’t know in the palace?”

“Oh yeah, that’s a little suspicious…”

“...” both guards stared at each other for a moment, then exclaimed, “Then let’s go!!”

……………………….

“Miss! Stay where you are!!”

At this point, not only the little princess was chasing the spirit girl, but also a few palace guards. They were about to surround her now!

“I’m sorry, can you tell me how to leave the palace?” Ye Lang didn’t seem to realise that everyone was there to chase him.

“There…” the guards were confused too. Without realising what they were doing, they started pointing him towards the exit. However, they’d point in many different directions. It wasn’t to confuse Ye Lang, but a palace did have many exits.

“Thank you!” Ye Lang understood a palace would have many gates too, so he didn’t think much about it. He picked a route then continued to run.

“...” at this point, the guards suddenly realised they’d just told the person they were chasing where the exits were!

Perhaps it was because of how peculiar the situation was. Suspicious criminals would definitely have surveyed the area beforehand, probably even knowing where the best routes were. They wouldn’t have asked for directions like Ye Lang did!
