Chapter 541 (2/2)

“That must be true. Entering the palace would be walking into her trap. If she wants to catch a person, even the strongest Tian level fighter would find it very difficult to escape… But, Master, how did you escape?” Athena regarded Ye Lang. She thought him being able to escape was no ordinary feat.

“Hey, are you that excited for her to lock me up forever?” huffed Ye Lang, her response annoyed him.

“No, why would I ever want you to get locked up and tortured by her? And even if I’m indifferent, the little tiger girl would never allow that. If she knew you were captured while under my care, she would kill me,” said Athena immediately, her words sounded like a little girl whining but her tone was very normal.

This was because she thought if there was a potential relationship, it would be between Ye Lang and the tiger girl- it was none of her business! As for what she said, she meant it as platonic love, not romantically.

“I know, that’s why I escaped. I’ll never let Tigress worry,” said Ye Lang with a grin.

“...”

“Tell me, what happened in there?” asked Athena again. She needed to know more to help him solve his problem.

“I entered the palace, then I had lunch with Zhao Yarou…” Ye Lang started to talk but was soon interrupted by Coldblood Seven.

“What? You had lunch with her?”

“Yeah, she prepared lunch for me so I ate it,” he answered with a nod.

“Haven’t we talked about this? You shouldn’t eat food Zhao Yarou feeds you, what if it was poisoned?” said Athena, upset that Ye Lang had breached their agreement.

“I know but no poison can harm me! Then again, for Li Yue’s safety, I made Zhao Yarou eat every dish before we started. There wasn’t a problem,” explained Ye Lang.

“...” The three girls had an image of an arrogant, pretentious empress forced by Ye Lang to test every dish for poison. It must’ve been hilarious.

If only they’d known that Ye Lang had told Zhao Yarou directly of his true intentions, they would be more amused.

“Then, Li Yue and I went on a date in the gardens. I touched her heart with a tragic love story and she finally agreed to give me the Tianji Armour but Zhao Yarou ruined everything. Then, we went to the party but after it ended, she suddenly turned against me. So I escaped…” said Ye Lang, giving a brief summary of his day.

Yep, it was brief. Too brief.

“... Fine, I sort of understand now. How did you escape, how many people did she send after you?” Athena did not ask further either, it was not the time.

Although it was brief, there was an important point: they were not in a good place right now and there was a high chance that Zhao Yarou would find them. There was no time for details.

If he told the entire story, then he’d definitely be caught. One more second of talking was one more chance for Zhao Yarou.

“Zhao Yarou is absolutely insane, she was prepared for almost every route! Thank goodness I’m smart enough, I escaped from layers and layers of guards. At the time…” After complimenting himself, he started to explain the fight in detail.
