Chapter 404 - Itd be a Shame to not Touch (2/2)

Last night, when Princess Consort Jing found out that her youngest son was going to bring some people to attack the Wokou’s ships, she felt anxious and jittery the whole night and couldn’t sleep. When she saw Yu Hai come back with Commander Zheng, who was quite skilled, on his back, she didn’t see her youngest son with them. She became even more worried. If it wasn’t for some maids pulling her back forcefully, she likely would have left to go find her son herself!

Zhu Junyang was brought in by a few of the bodyguards. Princess Consort Jing noticed that her son was deathly pale and rushed up anxiously to ask about his wounds. Zhu Junyang briefly went over what happened and said that his wounds were all superficial and had been treated already, so he wasn’t in a bad condition. Only after he walked a few steps to let his mother observe him did Princess Consort Jing finally relax.

Yu Xiaocao, on the other hand, was currently busy helping the other villagers settle in. Fortunately, the caves in this area were all linked so these people didn’t have to squeeze in with the hundred or so villagers from Dongshan Village. After she helped them settle in, Zhuang Xiaomo impatiently followed Xiaocao from behind to arrive at the Yu Family’s cave.

When the youth saw Yu Xiaolian bustling about making food, he finally relaxed and was convinced that she was safe. Madam Liu spotted him and hurriedly pulled on his hand to ask how he was doing. She had been concerned about him for these past two days and she fretted about whether he had encountered something bad.

At this time, Zhu Junyang had just exited his lady mother’s cave and had seen the whole interaction between Madam Liu and Zhuang Xiaomo. Jealousy surged in his heart. He walked up to Yu Xiaocao and pouted towards Madam Liu and Zhuang Xiaomo as he remarked in a voice full of jealousy, “Your mother is so biased. I got injured but I didn’t hear a single word of concern from her…”

Yu Xiaocao raised her eyes to look at him and suppressed the laughter bubbling up, “Young Royal Prince, how old are you this year?”

Zhu Junyang couldn’t make heads or tails of her unexpected question. He lowered his head to look at her and he had a perplexed look in his seductive eyes. However, he still obediently replied, “I’m nineteen ah...I’ll say, you really don’t care about me ah. You don’t even know how old I am!”

“I can’t believe you remember you're nineteen ah! I had thought that you were nine years old from the way you’re acting! Isn’t it a bit too childish of you to get jealous over something like this?” Yu Xiaocao had a slight smile on her face and the dimples on her rosy cheeks were barely visible.

Zhu Junyang felt his face flush from her teasing and he pinched her cheeks as he helplessly said, “You ah! You wouldn’t feel comfortable if you don’t tease me at least once a day, right?”

Yu Xiaocao snickered and then changed the subject, “I have some wound balm made by my pharmaceutical workshop. I’ll give you a bottle and you can have Older Sister Meixiang rub them on your wounds.”

“Meixiang is currently helping my lady mother rest and is too busy…” Zhu Junyang looked hopefully at Yu Xiaocao, as if he was a little kid trying to beg for a piece of candy.

“Isn’t there also Older Sister Lanxiang ah?” Yu Xiaocao didn’t fall for his excuse.

Zhu Junyang immediately replied, “None of them have the time…” As he talked, he slanted a look at the servants who were cheerfully waiting around. All of the servants, whether they were male or female, immediately began to pretend to be busy and bustled around the two of them doing random tasks.

Yu Xiaocao speechlessly glared at him and then brought him into her family’s cave. She had him take off his clothes until he was only wearing his underwear and instructed him to lie down on one of the stone beds.

Yu Xiaocao didn’t even have a hint of a blush on her face. She first used the mystic-stone water to help him wash his wounds clean and then carefully spread some of her special wound balm on all the injuries. As she spread the ointment on him, she also didn’t forget to sneakily make a few passes on Zhu Junyang’s well-muscled abdomen. She thought in admiration, ‘The young royal prince looks thin but he has a great body. He’s the type that looks skinny when clothed but has a finely sculpted body when unclothed.’

“Ahem ahem! Are you done touching me? Are you pleased with what you see ah?” Zhu Junyang had a slight flush on his cheeks. His little lass was definitely different from other girls. When confronted with a half-naked adult man, she not only didn’t have any sign of bashfulness or embarrassment, but she also had a hint of admiration in her eyes. Her unruly little hands had been feeling his abdomen to and fro. He was pretty sure he didn’t injure that area…

Yu Xiaocao calmly helped him put on his top clothing as if she was in no way related to that earlier little lecher who had been feeling the young royal prince up. She even nodded her head righteously, “Mhm mhm! You have a great body!”

Zhu Junyang didn’t know what to do with her. Was his little lass still too young to understand some things ah? She didn’t seem the least bit concerned in the differences between men and women. Sigh...she was still too young.

“Lass, in the future, if there are any men who are half-naked in front of you, you must immediately hide. If you’re able, you should hit them stoutly too…” Zhu Junyang couldn’t help but give her a few reminders. He was afraid that one day his little lass might be spirited away by a big, perverted wolf.

Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes at him and revealed an expression on her face that basically said: ‘do you think I’m an idiot?’. She then said, “Then...aren’t you half-naked in front of me now? You don’t even have your pants on. Shouldn’t I be beating you up right now ah?”
