Chapter 289 (2/2)

“You bitch! You just wait!” The duke was mad. He was already mad before, but he’d wanted to tease the girl to let some steam off. Too bad he was played by Ye Lanyu instead, embarrassing himself in front of everyone again.

“You think I’m scared of you? Will you send your men after us?” she mocked.

“Hmmph!”

The duke huffed, then took a small cylinder with a tassel out. Raising it high towards the sky, he used the other hand to pull its little tail.

Pew!

A ray of light shot out from the tube, accompanied by a piercing sound as it flew up into the skies.

Wasn’t that a flare gun? Was he summoning his men?

“Fireworks in the day? Who’s THAT stupid?” said Ye Lanyu and Ye Lang at the same time, although they were at different places.

“Ye Lanyu, those are not fireworks!”

“Sir, those are not fireworks!”

The seventh princess and Alvin (by Ye Lang’s side) said at the same time, though neither explained what it was for the siblings both said---

“I’m sure they are!”

Alright, alright, if you say so! A flare gun was technically a kind of firecracker, albeit they had different functions.

“What’s the meaning of this?” frowned the pope. It was obvious he didn’t like the idea of the duke summoning soldiers.

The duke didn’t notice the pope’s frown, only replying excitedly, “I want to teach this disrespectful bitch a lesson!!”

“And you want to teach her a lesson here?” asked the pope in a low voice.

The duke still hadn’t noticed anything off, merely nodding, “Yes, right here. I want to teach her a lesson so she knows she should never insult a duke like me!!”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. This isn’t your territory, don’t think you can do whatever you want here. If you anger the genius doctor inside, you’ll be sick for the rest of your life!” the pope first clarified the consequences, straightened his sleeves and entered the House of Confusion.

“The doctor is inside, there’s nothing to be afraid of! I don’t know how you became the pope!” called the duke as he watched the pope enter the clinic.

“You bitch, wait here. My men are coming, and when they arrive, you’ll be MY bitch! Hahaha…” sneered the duke.

“Ye Lanyu, he’s teasing you. Give him some of your ice!” said the seventh princess slowly.

“I don’t need you to tell me!” Ye Lanyu flicked her hand lightly, and there was now a block of ice the size of the brick floating in the air. Well, that was before she moved it. It was moving now, shooting directly at the duke, whistling in the air.
