Once Ji Youzhi said these words, Princess Ata stood there stunned, taking quite some time to recover.
Eunuch Ling, standing to one side, also wanted to facepalm upon hearing Ji Youzhiās words. His Lord God Hunter!
Why in the world couldnāt he notice that red blotch on Princess Ataās face?
"Thatās right! I ripped Princess Ataās clothes!"
Xiaosuisui spoke after a beat, completely oblivious to how much shock her words would cause Princess Ata.
Am I hearing things?
Princess Ata poked at her ears, looking utterly baffled.
Ji Youzhi finally understood. All along, he and Princess Ata had been talking past each other!
"Youāre not hearing things. Xiaosuisui indeed ripped your clothes and also removed the Gu Insect from your body."
SNAP. Princess Ata felt as if a knife had pierced her heart.
"What did you say? The... the Gu Insect on my body was... was removed by the baby girl you were holding?"
Princess Ata was so surprised that she momentarily forgot that the little girl who had supposedly performed the deed was the Eldest Princess of Great Han.
A baby girl actually removed the Gu Insect from my body? Who would believe such a thing if they heard it? No! I absolutely wouldnāt believe it, never!
"Yes, the Gu Insect on your body was indeed removed by Suisui. Iām not lying. Her Medical Skill was taught by my second brother, the Sect Leader of the Medicine King Residence, whom people call the Divine Physician, Medicine King."
Ji Youzhi had quickly understood the disbelief in Princess Ataās eyes, which is why he had hastily explained on Xiaosuisuiās behalf, making sure to bolster it by mentioning Ji Youran.
Heād had no choice. If he hadnāt framed it that way, not only Princess Ata but even Eunuch Ling would probably doubt if Xiaosuisui was even human.
"So, thatās how it is!" Princess Ata said, enlightened.
Ji Youzhi thought he had finally clarified things, but he didnāt expect what Princess Ata said next.
"But even so, in our Nanjiang, even disciples of the Great Wizard, who have been dealing with Gu Insects since birth and are his direct disciples, couldnāt possibly have this level of talent!"
Ah, this...
Ji Youzhi opened his mouth slightly, but didnāt know how to defend his niece.
"In that case, doesnāt it mean Iām even more exceptionally talented than other exceptionally talented people?"
The little girlās voice was soft and childlike. With a pitter-patter of her short little legs, she ran to Princess Ataās bedside. She looked up, hands on her hips, her big, sparkling eyes staring straight at her.
The corners of Princess Ataās mouth twitched, and even her brow couldnāt help but twitch.
"Was the Gu Insect on my body really removed by you?"
Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously, patting her little chest. "Yes! I was the one who caught it and took it out! Arenāt I amazing? Iām more amazing than anyone in Nanjiang!"
Princess Ata blinked. She wanted to say that Xiaosuisui was quite good at praising herself, but then she considered that there truly was no one in Nanjiang as capable as Xiaosuisui. So, she gave a big nod and a thumbs-up.
"You, Princess, are truly amazing!"
Xiaosuisui lifted her little chin proudly, a wide grin spreading across her face as she giggled.
"Uncle Qi! Princess Ata praised me for being awesome!"
Following Princess Ataās example, Ji Youzhi also gave her a thumbs-up. "You really are amazing! Sheās telling the truth!"
Xiaosuisui was even happier. She started hopping in place. "Iām the most awesome person in the world!"
Princess Ata let out a PFFFT of laughter, but the movement pulled at her wound. She quickly suppressed her smile and shifted her gaze to Ji Youzhi.
"Lord God Hunter, I have a request. Please, you must agree to it."
