Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Your Highness, this subject departs.” Lan Xinyu greeted the fifth princess with a proper farewell along with a slight bow. She glanced coldly at Ling Chuxi as she walked past her with Shu Yuanfeng and Pei Qianqian in tow.
When Lan Xinyu and her group were at quite a distance, the fifth princess immediately switched from the arrogant demeanour she’d been projecting to one of a little white rabbit. She bounced up to Ling Chuxi to obtain validation. “What do you think, master? Didn’t I put on a good show? Wasn’t I very cooperative?” The fifth princess blinked her eyes until she became starry-eyed as she looked at Ling Chuxi with an expectant expression, practically begging to be rewarded.
“Yes, that wasn’t bad. I’ll teach you something later on.” Ling Chuxi smiled as she reached out a hand to pat the fifth princess’ head. She only retracted her hand once she had tousled the fifth princess’ hair into resembling a bird’s nest.
The fifth princess was stunned. After Ling Chuxi turned around and walked away, the fifth princess placed a hand on the spot of her own head where Ling Chuxi’s hand was. ‘How long has it been since someone patted my head like this and complimented me? Master’s hand was so warm. This is a really, really good feeling.’
Just like that, the fifth princes let a bird’s nest remain on her head and obediently followed after Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen and happened to overhear their conversation.
“Chuxi, is it really wise to agree to her conditions like this?” queried Ling Yichen worriedly.
“You should be worried about her instead,” sneered Ling Chuxi. “This Lan Xinyu has been spoiled. She grew up in a honey jar and had never met with any setbacks. Therefore, she’s unable to withstand any stimulation. She spoke without leaving any room for retreat, so I’ll see what she’ll do when the time comes.”
“Master, why do I feel like you’re talking about me?” interrupted the fifth princess as she blinked her eyes. “Spoiled, grew up in a honey jar, never experienced any setbacks—”
“You are different from her. You are able to withstand stimulation. Weren’t you still happy even though you were kicked by me and were rolling on the ground? You have a strong determination and your heart is tenacious. Therefore, your future is full of possibilities,” Ling Chuxi interrupted the fifth princess right back and rolled her eyes as she did so.
“Oh my, master. Are you complimenting me?” The fifth princess frowned slightly. Why were her own emotions so complicated? Her master was complimenting her, but why was it that she felt such a compliment was nothing to be proud of?
