Chapter 20 - Cang Yue! (2/2)

She saw him checking her and then smiled, ”And who might be you, Little girl?”

”I am Cang Yue and this is Qing Wuyou,” Cang Yue said blushing.

Qing Wuyou was worriedly looking towards his princess. Seeing her blushing he didn't know what to say. He could tell that she has fallen in love with him. He could only sigh and bow to him in greeting.

”So it's our little princess and her guard.” Nodding Wang Lei said, ”Please come and sit.”

Hearing him calling her little princess, Cang Yue felt buŧŧerflies in her stomach. She blushingly nodded and sat beside him. Qing Wuyou could only shake his head from the innocence of his princess and sat on the chair.

Seeing both of them have sat he passed the dishes and juices to them.

”Thank you!” Cang Yue said while drinking the juice and kept looking towards him. shyly. Qing Wuyou could only shake his head at his princess.

”So, why are you here, little princess?” Wang Lei asked while taking a sip from his juice.

Cang Yue started to explain about her father's illness. How they had called every doctor but none could save him. How they have posted a quest in the guild but those who took the quest said the same thing as other doctors. And that they have heard about him and thought of meeting him.

Throughout the whole talk, Wang Lei didn't say a thing and just listened quietly. He thought that the Emperor was quite an unlucky guy to get betrayed by someone who he believed completely. 'Hardest thing to predict is probably a man's heart'. In the end, Cang Yue had tears in her eyes.

”Then you want me to check your father and if could, prescribe him?” Wang Lei saw her nodding ”Then… what is my payment?” Wang Lei asked shamelessly.

Hearing him both Cang Yue and Qing Wuyou's eyes went wide. They thought he would be touched by the story or show some other emotions but they never thought that the thing he would ask would be about payment.

”He is your Emperor! You should help if you can!” Qing Wuyou said, not believing what he heard.

”Indeed, he is. But there's no such thing as free lunch!” Wang Lei said nodding.

Wuyou wanted to say something but was stopped by Cang Yue.

”Then what is that you want, Sir?” Cang Yue asked.

Wang Lei had an ugly face ”Please don't call me Sir, Little princess. Do your thing I am that old? You can call me Lei'er, Wang Lei or Young Noble”

Seeing his face, she apologized and blushed.” Then Le… Le…”

”Hm?” Wang Lei smiled.

”Wa… Young Noble!” Cang Yue said. She was embarrassed right now. She wanted to call him intimately but could not. She wanted to find a hole and jump in it.

Qing Wuyou could only facepalm.

”Ahem* about the price…” Wang Lei made a thinking face while looking towards her. ”How about you become my maid?”

”MAID?!” Qing Wuyou shouted. ”Impossible! She is an imperial princess! How can she become your maid?!”

”Alright! I will become your maid if you can cure my father!” Cang Yue said with determination but one could see a light blush on her face.

”Princess!!”

”Enough Elder Wuyou! I have made my decision. If Young Noble can save father than I shall become his maid!” Cang Yue said.

Qing Wuyou hearing her could only stay quiet. He could not say anything but he thought he should talk with the emperor about this.

”Since it has been decided then let's go!” Wang Lei said while standing up.
