Chapter 216 (1/2)

A Fighting Spirit (3)

Everyone waited outside the room. After a very long time, they finally saw Princess Longji walk out. She took a seat, put Ye Lang on a table then crouched on it to watch Ye Lang being very angry.

“Alright, alright. Calm down. I won’t lock you up next time, at most you’ll get to see my gorgeous body!!” laughed the princess.

“What gorgeous? I don’t see it,” replied Ye Lang in confusion.

“... You’re still young, you don’t know how to appreciate all of this!!” Princess Longji gently poked Ye Lang. To her, Ye Lang looked very peculiar and it was very fun!!

“You guys… Longji, you mean you and him…” The empress dowager frowned. Even cousins should have boundaries-- and they weren’t even sure if they were actual cousins!

“What are you thinking? I’ve even given him a bath when he was little!” Princess Longji’s face reddened. She knew what everyone meant, so she had to explain immediately.

“Longji, who IS he?” asked the emperor. Everyone wanted to know.

“He is my cousin!”

“...Cousin? Why don’t we know about him…”

“You all don’t. I didn’t either. I can only say that he’s the thirteenth son of the Ye family, you should understand now!” She frowned again, not sure how to explain the entire situation.

“...”

Upon hearing this, the emperor and empress dowager fell silent. They stared at Ye Lang for a very long time, their expressions getting increasingly complex.

“Who? Who? Does the thirteenth son of the Ye family relate to us?” the little princess peered curiously at Ye Lang. She wanted to touch him but was attacked mercilessly by him!

Ye Lang directly controlled the spirit girl, who pulled the little princess away, “Don’t disturb me, leave me alone!”

“Little troublemaker, you…” Princess Longji wanted to say something, but she suddenly recalled how the little princess mentioned the spirit girl had bullied her. She now understood that there were some conflicts between them both.

She didn’t have the time to play mediator now, so she only smiled at Ye Lang, “Little troublemaker, why are you here all of a sudden? And why didn’t you tell me? Didn’t I tell you to look for me when you get here? Are you looking for trouble, you’ve forgotten what I said!!”

“No, I didn’t!!” Ye Lang shook his head. This seemed to satisfy her, but what he said next provoked her…

“I’ve forgotten about YOU!”

“...”

She fell silent, then gently pinched his face. Don’t think that she gently pinched him because she loved Ye Lang too much to hurt him, it was because even a gentle pinch would hurt a lot!!

“Ahhhh ouch…” he shrieked in pain, struggling.

“We’ll see if you’ll forget me again!!” she huffed, letting go.

“Even if I’d remembered, it’d still be useless because you never told me where you were!” whined Ye Lang innocently.

“I didn’t tell you, but didn’t I give you an amulet? You only need to show it to someone, and they’ll bring you to me!”

“Would it really work? Wasn’t it just a broken amulet?” asked Ye Lang, taking out a broken jade amulet. He didn’t think it was anything special.
