Chapter 376 (1/2)

The Arrival of the Sacred Lady (3)

“You were asleep this morning and I heard from Fatty you slept late last night, so I didn’t want to wake you up,” answered Ye Lang.

“You still shouldn’t have left without telling me!” yelled Xuan Yuanbing.

“Hey, I did leave a message for you to your guards. Didn’t they read you my message?” Ye Lang tilted his head in confusion.

“They did…” muttered Xuan Yuanbing quietly. Ye Lang wasn’t in the wrong here.

“That’s bad news then!” exclaimed Ye Lang. “Didn’t they say that you weren’t allowed out?! They were very against it the last time I told them about bringing you here, they said the Sacred Lady of Light would never appear here! Ah… I see, you sneaked out! You broke the rules!”

“Hey! I didn’t sneak out! Besides, no one could stop me. I’ll lose my status as the Sacred Lady at most, but that would mean we can finally hang out! You said you’d protect me too!” replied Xuan Yuanbing with a bright smile.

“Protect you…? I think it would be more of the opposite...” muttered Ye Lanyu under her breath.

Xuan Yuanbing’s sacred status and Tian Level capabilities were far beyond Ye Lang’s level, she had absolutely no need for his protection!

“Yeah, I’ll protect you. If anyone dares bully you, just tell them my name- but it seems like everyone only knows me as the prodigal son, which isn’t too useful!” said Ye Lang unconcerned with a wave of his arm.

“That’s alright, it’s the thought that counts!” Xuan Yuanbing was very delighted to hear that.

As the chatter between Ye Lang and Xuan Yuanbing went on, two Light Riders suddenly appeared the Sacred Lady. The riders were here to fulfil their duty as her bodyguards.

They didn’t ask for Xuan Yuanbing’s return, they were merely there to protect her. The two Light Riders stood beside the Sacred Lady silently.

It was not within their powers to control her behaviour, they had done their duty to deliver the Pope’s message to Xuan Yuanbing. Her subsequent response was none of their concern.

Another person arrived a moment after them and it was the representative from the organizing team! They needed to escort the Sacred Lady and Ye Lang out of the venue for they were hindering the progress of the competition. A short while was fine but they had been at it for too long.

Everyone was growing impatient!

“Sacred Lady, young prince, could you kindly return to your seats if there’s nothing else left to sort? The competition needs to go on…” muttered the representative softly.

“See, I told you to take your time for your battle… Fine, we’re done anyway. Fatty, pack your things, let’s go somewhere more comfortable to continue our feast!” responded Ye Lang. It was a pity that they couldn’t carry on with their antics but he was considerate, choosing to leave instead.

“You’re going to continue eating…?” asked Xuan Yuanbing in disbelief.

“Of course! Her cooking is delicious, want to try some?” offered Ye Lang bluntly as he cast out some purifying formations to help Zhen Xiaoyan clean up.

“Oh, that sounds like a good idea! I haven’t eaten anything and I’m starving!” Xuan Yuanbing blushed a little at the sound of her tummy rumbling.

“My lady, isn’t this too oily for you…” reminded one of her Light Riders, genuinely concerned for her health.

“Having teppanyaki first thing in the morning does sound very hard on the stomach… I have some bread and water, you can have it,” said Ye Lang before he began to reach around in his space ring, searching for the bread and water.
